"grandfather!"
Liu Siyun was terrified and rushed to help Liu Zhongyi up, but she couldn't support him by herself. Fortunately, Lin Yu stepped in to help him up.
The two men helped Liu Zhongyi sit down in a chair.
Lin Yu took the opportunity to check his pulse, then frowned and said, "Grandpa, your heart isn't very good, please don't get angry!"
He could tell from taking Liu Zhongyi's pulse that Liu had severe coronary heart disease, as well as underlying conditions such as diabetes, and his health was in very poor condition.
With reddened eyes, Liu Siyun said, "Grandpa, if something is lost, we can just call the police. Why are you so agitated?"
Liu Zhongyi shook his head and said weakly, "Siyun, you don't understand. Someone is trying to harm our Liu family! Think about it carefully. If the other party really just wanted to steal these three items, why would they go to such great lengths to make these three fakes?"
Liu Siyun paused for a moment, then realized what was going on.
Indeed, these three items are not easy to imitate; ordinary workshops cannot produce them unless it is a professional counterfeiting group.
If it were just theft, how could it cost so much?
This is clearly someone trying to harm the Liu family!
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a chill of fear!
If Mr. Lin hadn't reminded them in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable if these three items had been recognized at the auction!
In the antique business, once you lose your reputation, you can never get it back!
Business will plummet and gradually decline!
Thinking of this, Liu Siyun said to Lin Yu with a grateful expression, "Mr. Lin, we are so grateful to you this time, otherwise I really can't imagine the consequences!"
"It was nothing, don't mention it!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, then looked at Liu Zhongyi and frowned, asking, "Old man, have you offended someone? Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to frame your Liu family?"
Liu Zhongyi frowned, his eyes flickering.
Before he could speak, Liu Siyun said, "Mr. Lin, you may not know this, but my grandfather is the president of the Guanzhong Antique Association. During his years as president, he has been incorruptible and never hesitated to punish counterfeiters! Once he encounters a shop selling counterfeit goods, he will fine them tenfold for every fake item! Because of this, those antique dealers gave my grandfather a nickname, 'Iron Eleven'!"
Lin Yu nodded, immediately understanding.
The antique business involves huge transaction volumes; a single sale can potentially earn you hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions!
Driven by huge profits, it's inevitable that some people will sell counterfeit goods and reap huge profits.
By doing this, Liu Zhongyi undoubtedly cut off the source of income for those unscrupulous merchants, so it was only natural that he would be retaliated against.
Liu Siyun said worriedly, "Grandpa, what should we do now? Should we call the police?"
"Don't call the police; calling the police will only alert them!"
Liu Zhongyi immediately shook his head, his face grave, and said, "The person who switched the beams and pillars is most likely a mole within our Cuihua Pavilion. We must find this mole, otherwise, he will continue to harm our Liu family!"
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something and said, "After stealing these things, this person probably wouldn't dare to do it openly. He might just sell them on the black market. Why don't you go check the black market and see if you can find any clues? After all, these three items are unique and not commonly seen on the market. You can find out by asking around on the black market!"
"That's right!" Liu Zhongyi clapped his hands excitedly, "Young friend Lin, you've given us a good reminder! Siyun, go to the black market and inquire there yourself! Remember, don't tell anyone!"
"Okay, Grandpa!" Liu Siyun quickly agreed.
Cough cough cough!
Liu Zhongyi suddenly started coughing violently, his face turning frighteningly pale.
Liu Siyun looked worried: "Grandpa, why don't you go inside and rest for a bit?"
Liu Zhongyi nodded, and with her help, he slowly stood up, leaning on his cane. He said to Lin Yu, "Young friend Lin, we owe you everything today. My Liu family owes you a huge favor! If you see anything you like, feel free to choose!"
Lin Yu quickly said, "You're too kind, sir. Please go and get some rest!"
Liu Zhongyi nodded and, supported by Liu Siyun, walked towards a room.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, continued to examine the items on the display case.
His eyes paused when he saw a folding fan.
This folding fan was placed open, and it looked very old, with some parts worn out.
However, the painting and poem on the fan caught his attention, and he couldn't help but pick it up and examine it carefully.
After a while, Liu Siyun came out of the house and said to Lin Yu with a grateful expression, "Mr. Lin, we are so grateful to you this time. If you hadn't discovered the problem, our Liu family would have been in real trouble!"
Lin Yu said with a smile, "We're all friends, no need to be so polite! However, the old man's health is really not good, you must pay close attention!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Yu's expression became somewhat serious.
Liu Siyun bit her lip and said, "My grandfather's health has been deteriorating over the past two years. The doctor told him not to overwork, but he just won't listen and won't let me tell my parents! My parents have been struggling to make ends meet abroad these past few years because of the economic crisis, and they've been relying on our Cuihua to keep them afloat!"
Liu Siyun couldn't stop the tears from flowing, looking helpless. She choked out, "If something happens to Grandpa because of this, I don't know how I'll explain it to Mom and Dad!"
Lin Yu sighed inwardly. Who would have thought that the seemingly glamorous Liu family had such a bitter side?
Lin Yu said, "Miss Liu, you don't need to worry too much. Although your grandfather's health is a bit poor, it's not at its worst yet. With the help of traditional Chinese medicine, he can gradually recover!"
