In the blink of an eye, no one knew that Li Xianren's treasure had been switched.
This was also due to Li Xianren's own carelessness; who could have imagined that such a thing could happen inside a television station?
After the verification, he carried the wooden box back to his room to continue waiting.
About five minutes later, a stagehand pushed a prop cart outside the hall.
A man in a baseball cap was already waiting there. The stagehand quickly handed him a black plastic bag.
The man in the baseball cap took the bag and quickly left the scene.
Once outside in the Toyota, Shinichi Kameda gave a cold smile.
His next step was to drive to the ferry terminal to attempt to illegally cross the border.
However, there were still important things to take care of before leaving!
He quickly took out his phone and made the call.
During the program, a slightly overweight man in a traditional Chinese suit answered the phone.
"Zhang San, I've switched the items. The rest is up to you!"
Zhang San sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Kameda. Liu Zhongyi and that Lin fellow caused me to lose everything and be separated from my wife and children. I will definitely not let this opportunity pass!"
This Zhang San is the same Zhang San who colluded with Liu Zhongyi's godson Zhang Yu to sabotage the Liu family's auction.
Because of what happened last time, his counterfeit group was fined a huge sum, and he was arrested. His wife took the children and ran away with Old Wang next door.
Now that Shinichi Kameda has spent a lot of money to bail him out and given him a chance to get revenge, how could he not cherish it!
According to his and Shinichi Kameda's plan, once Li Xianren's treasure is identified as genuine on the spot and a certificate is issued, he will step forward and expose the fake!
Keep in mind, this is a live broadcast. What would happen if the experts' assessment of the product as genuine turned out to be counterfeit?
The experts' ability to appraise treasures will inevitably be questioned!
But that's far from enough. Shinichi Kameda has already prepared a script for Zhang San, who will then publicly provoke and slander someone for using the treasure appraisal program to launder money!
Although it sounds like a complete fabrication, once it's broadcast live, the impact will be enormous.
Not only will experts like Liu Zhongyi suffer a loss of reputation, but television stations and partners like Xiongfeng will also be subjected to scrutiny, caught in a media storm, and face huge losses.
Shinichi Kameda may not have learned much else in Japan over the years, but he has certainly mastered these treacherous methods to the fullest extent, making him utterly vicious!
Hearing Zhang San's promise, he was very satisfied. "Good! As long as you do well, I will transfer a sum of money to your account, enough to ensure you live a worry-free life!"
After hanging up the phone, Shinichi Kameda sneered, "Liu Zhongyi, Lin Yu, sorry, this time, I won! I'm about to go overseas to live a carefree life, while you two stay here and bear the infamy, hahahaha!"
The Toyota sped away like an arrow released from a bow.
Meanwhile, at this time, there were still ten minutes before the broadcast started.
"All cameras ready!"
Wang Xuesen shouted into the walkie-talkie, then glanced at his watch and couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Tan Qingqing come down yet?"
"Wang Tai, I just called. Tan Qingqing is touching up her makeup and should be downstairs soon!"
The subordinate replied over the walkie-talkie.
On stage, a Dunhuang classical dance is being performed.
After the song ends, it's time for the host to come on stage!
At this moment, Tan Qingqing had already come out of the dressing room on the third floor and was waiting for the elevator to go downstairs.
A moment later, she stepped into the elevator.
Sizzle!
As the elevator descended, the overhead light suddenly flickered.
Tan Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, but didn't take it seriously.
Just then, with a snap, the lights above suddenly went out, and the elevator plummeted downwards!
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, we slid down to the second basement level!
Clang!
After the violent tremor, Tan Qingqing let out a scream.
This was a pretty hard fall. In the darkness, she vaguely felt that her leg was broken, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe.
She frantically pounded on the elevator door buttons, trying to call for help, but there was no response.
In a panic, she began to scream.
But the elevator space is too enclosed, and the sound can't get out at all.
She struggled to pull out her phone, wanting to call for help, but there was no signal at all!
At this moment, there was nothing she could do but wait for outsiders to discover the elevator malfunction and come to her rescue.
Meanwhile, outside the elevator lobby on the first floor, an elevator worker wearing a baseball cap walked over, cordoned off the elevator with a safety line, and put up a sign next to it that read "Under Repair".
After doing all this, he glanced around, pulled his hat down low, and quickly left the scene.
Time passed little by little.
There are less than five minutes left until the broadcast starts!
Wang Xuesen got anxious and had someone call Tan Qingqing to urge her to hurry up.
The call didn't go through!
"Damn! What's Tan Qingqing up to? Acting like such a diva?"
Wang Xuesen was so angry he wanted to slam the phone down and ordered someone to go and check what was going on.
Soon after, his subordinate sent a message over the walkie-talkie: "Something's wrong, Wang Tai! Tan Qingqing has gone missing!"
"What? It's gone?" Wang Xuesen was dumbfounded.
He had worked at the TV station for twenty years and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The program was about to start and the host was gone!
Isn't this ridiculous?
At this point, the Dunhuang dance had ended, and he quickly sent another group of dancers up, intending to stall for time before ordering everyone to hurry and find Tan Qingqing.
At this moment, Lin Yu, who was in the guest seat, also noticed that something was wrong.
This dance was just performed, why is it on again?
