In truth, Duanmu Ci knew who had created the fake post, having witnessed it firsthand. However, he couldn't say so directly because he lacked concrete evidence and couldn't provide a clear explanation. Therefore, he simply offered a few vague answers, leaving them to ponder and consider the matter themselves.
Xun Yong did indeed consider and refer to the information carefully, but his conclusion was not enough to overturn existing knowledge. He shook his head, "That's not enough!"
"Not enough" means that the evidence is insufficient. Xun Yong hoped that Duanmu Ci could provide more convincing evidence, rather than just a few superficial guesses.
The old gentlemen nodded in agreement, agreeing that these few baseless guesses were insufficient to support Duanmu Ci's assertions, nor to support his overturning of the assertions of collectors throughout history and the owner of Banbizhai Studio.
Their conclusion is that this calligraphy is an authentic work by Wang Xianzhi, and not a forgery by someone else.
Tang Rui's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in Duanmu Ci's embarrassment...
Wei Yue took a sip of the tea the waiter brought, Xinyang Maojian, which was warm and comforting as it went down his throat. He wasn't worried at all. As a close friend of Duanmu Ci, he trusted Duanmu Ci's abilities and believed he couldn't possibly be unable to handle even this kind of situation.
This is just a small matter.
Duanmu Ci thought for a moment. His relationship with Feng Chengsu was very ordinary, just a casual acquaintance. Even his calligraphy was not considered to be of a very high level by Duanmu Ci, so he did not collect any of Feng Chengsu's calligraphy. Otherwise, he could have used it for comparison and verification.
However, although Duanmu Ci did not have Feng Chengsu's, he did have Wang Xianzhi's!
And what a coincidence...
So he paused for a moment and said, "Because the original is with me."
