Everyone was stunned.
I never expected Zhang San to make such an unreasonable request!
The Liu family's century-old foundation is all in Guanzhong. Once they withdraw from Guanzhong, it will be tantamount to destroying their own Great Wall, and their century-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!
Liu Siyun said angrily, "You want us to withdraw from Guanzhong, so what are your bets?"
Zhang San said arrogantly, "I, Zhang San, can bet my entire fortune—more than a dozen antique shops under my name, worth two billion! Isn't that enough?"
The crowd erupted in uproar once again!
How confident must Zhang San be to gamble his entire fortune and life on this?
Liu Zhongyi sneered and nodded, saying, "Alright! Since that's the case, I'll take your bet. However, words are no guarantee; we need to draw up a written agreement!"
Zhang San responded with a sneer, "Sure! Let's do it! The notary office staff are here too, we can have it notarized on the spot!"
Immediately, Liu Zhongyi asked Liu Siyun to draft a betting agreement!
Both parties signed, sealed, and pressed their fingerprints!
The notary office staff conducted the notarization on-site!
The crowd immediately erupted in excitement, their hearts trembling.
This is a gamble worth billions!
It's even more exciting than gambling on jade!
After pressing the last handprint, Liu Zhongyi sneered, "Boss Zhang, please! I'd like to ask you, what exactly makes these three items fake!"
Without wasting words, Zhang San stepped forward, pointed at the auspicious cloud and flowing water bottle in front of everyone, and said confidently, "Let's talk about this bottle first! The reason it's called the auspicious cloud and flowing water bottle is simply because of its material. When you tap the bottle, you'll hear a sound like flowing water. I think everyone knows that, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They may not have seen a real auspicious cloud flowing water bottle, but they had definitely heard of it, as this was the most distinctive feature of the auspicious cloud flowing water bottle.
At this moment, Zhang San raised the bottle and said calmly, "But this bottle doesn't make any sound of running water at all! So I'm certain it's a fake!"
"No sound of running water?"
"That's most likely a fake!"
"The Liu family has really messed up this time!"
The crowd began to discuss it.
Liu Siyun curled her lips into a cold smile and suddenly questioned, "Mr. Zhang, did you flick it? How do you know there's no sound of running water if you didn't flick it?"
"How would I know?" Zhang San couldn't help but sneer.
This bottle came from his workshop; that's the only flaw. How could he not know that?
However, he said, "I, Zhang San, have been dealing with antiques for so many years, I do have a good eye! If you don't believe me, let everyone handle them and listen!"
At this moment, the expert who had just conducted the notarization had a strange expression on his face and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Zhang, I don't deny your appraisal skills, but you've been a bit too confident this time. I already tapped the bottle during the notarization, and it does indeed make a sound like flowing water!"
Zhang San's expression froze for a moment, and he frowned as he asked, "What did you say?"
The notary expert reiterated, "If Mr. Zhang has any doubts, he might as well try it himself!"
Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then quickly tapped the bottle.
Ding ding dong!
Immediately, a pleasant sound of running water came from the bottle.
His eyes widened immediately. "This, how is this possible?"
This bottle was clearly made by him; how could he not know whether there was running water or not?
Liu Zhongyi saw his expression and couldn't help but sneer, "Boss Zhang, what do you have to say now?"
Zhang San, looking unwilling, quickly took the Hetian jade seal back and said, "This jade seal doesn't look right to me. I need to verify it with a medicinal solution!"
Zhang San quickly ordered his men to fetch the medicine. Antique dealers like them regularly inspect goods and always keep such items on hand. The medicine was brought over in no time.
Zhang San couldn't wait to throw the Hetian jade seal into the medicinal liquid.
The other bosses chuckled to themselves. They knew exactly what they were doing; they were the ones who made it. Once it was placed in the medicinal liquid, the blood would disappear quickly.
However, after a full five minutes, the Hetian jade seal showed no change whatsoever, and the bloodstains were still clearly visible.
The group stared wide-eyed, finding it unbelievable.
What's going on?
Zhang San's hands and feet were ice-cold, and cold sweat poured down his face.
He quickly took the last Tang tri-colored horse and pulled out a lighter.
However, at this moment, he was clearly lacking confidence, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
If this tricolor horse is real, then his two billion yuan fortune is in jeopardy!
Liu Siyun teased from the side, "Boss Zhang, why don't you light the fire? If you do, the colors of this tricolor horse might fade!"
Zhang San's pupils contracted, and he immediately became furious and embarrassed: "Little girl, how dare you provoke me?"
Liu Siyun clicked her tongue and said, "I didn't provoke you! Everyone's watching, so go ahead and test me if you dare!"
"You really think I wouldn't dare?"
At Liu Siyun's urging, Zhang San pressed the lighter hard.
More than ten seconds passed, and Zhang San felt like his hands were about to be scalded. However, the lacquer on the three-colored horse did not change at all. Instead, it became even more vibrant under the firelight!
Lin Yu watched coldly from the sidelines.
He put in a lot of effort to solidify the lacquer on the tricolor horse, so it would be strange if the color could be burned off!
Snap!
Zhang San's hand trembled, and the lighter slipped to the ground.
He was completely distraught, shaking his head repeatedly: "No, it can't be! How could this be true?"
The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
As it turns out, all three items are genuine!
Zhang San lost this high-stakes gamble!
Lin Yu's eyes flashed, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhang, your mistake was trusting the wrong person. You've been played!"
