Chapter 178 Thank You for Meeting You

Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan put down their things and walked forward. There were many more things in the antique market than before, almost like piles of mountains. There were also more and more fakes. At least among the people Du Ruo saw, nine of them were holding fakes. Even if there were authentic items occasionally, they were worthless items. Naturally, the two of them didn't like them anymore.

The couple reluctantly called off the fight. Du Ruo treated Mr. Yuan to a bowl of knife-cut noodles at the small noodle shop at the door. Yuan Tingchuan smiled when the bill was paid.

"You're becoming more and more extravagant as you get richer? You treated me to a meal, and this is all I eat?"

"So what do you want to eat? Don't you have everything at home?"

Mr. Du thinks that eating this shows sincerity and is more down-to-earth.

Half a month later, Du Ruo and Ling Yun stood in the banquet hall of the Ling family mansion in the United States. Looking at the dazzling array of bronze wares in front of them, Ling Yun had a cold face and a hint of coldness at the corners of his mouth.

Du Ruo looked at them one by one from the left. Wow, they were all national treasures. What was surprising was that they were all in pairs. There were round tripods with three legs and two handles, and there were also square tripods with four legs.

Du Ruo looked at the square tripod in front of him. The animal face patterns on it were mainly single-line. The wall of the tripod was thinner than that of the later period. It was engraved with sacrificial inscriptions and was priceless.

What’s important is that this pair of tripods with animal face patterns are exactly the same, just like a pair of twin brothers. It’s impossible to tell who is the older brother and who is the younger one.

No one knew what Ling Feng was up to. The two looked at each other with a solemn look in their eyes.

If possible, no one would want to let such a national treasure be lost outside, but the thing belongs to Ling Feng, and I wonder what he is going to do?

Ling Feng walked into the venue surrounded by a group of bodyguards. It was the first time Du Ruo saw him.

He is about 70% similar to Ling Yun, with arrogance and contempt in his eyes.

He greeted the familiar guests and walked straight to Ling Yun.

"You two have been looking for me. I know you want what I have. Grandpa once said that one day he would make all the counterfeits in my hands disappear from the world. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and he still can't do anything to me. He can only stand there and stare."

He couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"I called you here today to give you a chance to see the ten pairs of bronze objects in front of you. One of these pairs is genuine, and the other is made by me."

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and listened quietly. He had already guessed what was going on in his mind.

"As long as you can pick out the bronze objects I made, I will retire today, and you can take away all the bronze objects under my name."

Ling Yun looked into his eyes and asked through gritted teeth: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I have already signed the documents. You can take a look at them first."

Ling Yun took the document from Ling Feng and looked through it carefully. He nodded and said, "What are the terms?"

Ling Feng smiled: "If you can't recognize it, the Ling family can no longer do antique business from now on."

"Do you want to return to the Hong Kong antique circle?"

"That's none of your business."

Du Ruo took a step forward and said, "Mr. Ling, do you mind if I take a look too?"

"Whatever, anyone can watch it."

There was absolute pride in Ling Feng's tone.

Ling Yun looked at Du Ruo meaningfully, and Du Ruo nodded gently.

Ling Yun walked solemnly to the bronze tool, took out a small tool box from his arms, and looked very serious.

He knew that these things could not be detected by conventional methods, but he still planned to give it a try.

Burning with fire, pricking with needles, observing the shape and color, the more Ling Yun looked, the heavier his heart became, yet there was not the slightest flaw.

Ling Yun straightened up, gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He handed the sign in his hand to Du Ruo and signaled her with his eyes to give it to her.

When Du Ruo was checking the bronze objects one by one, he already had the answer in his mind. Seeing this, he did not refuse. He picked up the number plate and quickly moved from the beginning to the end, and stuck it on the bronze tripod with a few snaps.

When the two turned around to look at Ling Feng, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he exclaimed: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you recognize him?"

If you only recognize one or two pieces, it might be a coincidence. But it is absolutely impossible to recognize every piece so clearly and accurately by chance.

As soon as everyone saw Ling Feng's face, they knew he had lost and were all shocked.

"Who is this? I've eaten at Lingfeng's place more than once. Is it so easy to recognize him?"

"You guessed it?"

"Who can guess everything right? He must be an expert."

Ling Feng rushed to Du Ruo and grabbed her arm tightly.

"You didn't even lift the lid, how could you tell it was fake? Did someone tell you? Tell me now!"

Ling Yun stood in front of Du Ruo and pushed his father forward.

"I'll admit defeat if I lose. Do you want to deny it?"

Ling Feng had gone a little crazy. He had been making counterfeits all his life and put all his life's efforts into this, but in the end it became a joke. He desperately threw himself towards Du Ruo, and the three of them got entangled together and fell onto the bronze object behind them.

When Du Ruo fell, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hand, and blood dripped onto the bronze tripod. Ling Yun went forward to pull her up, and his hand was also pricked. Suddenly, both of them remembered a chant in their minds, and they fainted one after another.

When Du Ruo woke up, she saw Yuan Tingchuan sitting at the head of her bed. She turned her head to look out the window and heard Yuan Tingchuan's cold voice in her ears.

"No need to look. We are still in the United States. What's going on? Why is it so popular that a bronze tripod disappeared in your hands? How is this possible? What's going on?"

Du Ruo touched her nose guiltily. She had already remembered that the reason why she and Ling Yun could start over again was probably because of that tripod. As for why exactly it was, she didn't know.

"If you ask me, I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely tell you, but I still need to study this matter slowly."

As for whether we can figure it out in this lifetime, it is hard to say.

Yuan Tingchuan said with a cold face: "I have contacted Mr. Charles, and he has agreed to exchange the Yaobian Tianmu Cauldron with me, but the prerequisite is that you tell him the information of Mr. John."

Du Ruo was overjoyed: "Is it enough to just tell him the information?"

Yuan Tingchuan nodded, but what he didn't say was that he used an ancestral treasure of the Yuan family as exchange.

Du Ruo had already guessed it, she smiled and threw herself into Yuan Tingchuan's arms, starting over again. In addition to working hard to make her son live a long and happy life, her greatest happiness was meeting this man.

Holding Yuan Tingchuan's cheek, Du Ruo smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, I have a secret. I will tell you after some time."

I love you very much. Since the first time we met on the award ceremony platform in the previous life, I have been moved. I am grateful to meet you in this life.
