Chapter 36 Absolute Trust



"Why is that so difficult?"

Lin Han walked up to Huangfu Xue and leaned over to look at her:

"This is a piece of cake for me. On the contrary... you have to think carefully about whether you want to exchange such important evidence."

Huangfu Xue said without hesitation: "I never regret what I have decided!"

"Okay! Give me the evidence. Experts are currently identifying the painting. There's still time."

Huangfu Xue is a capable person.

Once the agreement is reached, there is no hesitation or looking back.

She took out an exquisite USB flash drive from her handbag and handed it to Lin Han.

The two exchanged glances, and there was a flash of evasion in their eyes at the same time.

Lin Han took the USB drive and left the room.

I had just taken a few steps forward when I saw the old man staggering towards me from the other end of the corridor.

Lin Han stepped forward and supported him:

"Old man, I see that you are not in good health, so don't go in."

The old man's arms were dry, but he could clearly feel the strength and power coming from them.

He took a breath and said in a muffled voice:

"This painting is of great significance to my Zhang family!"

He looked into the void, his face full of desolation:

"Originally, it was because of my mistake twenty years ago that the painting was snatched away by Shu Huaixi. Now... cough cough cough!"

“I must get the painting back!”

Lin Han thought about it and said carefully:

"Just now, a friend gave me something that can prove the truth of the transaction between you and Shu Huaixi."

"What?" The old man turned his head, his eyes shining, and his dry fingers tightly grasped Lin Han's arm, pinching him so hard that it hurt.

"It's not just you and me who want to bring down the Shu family...they want me to take the lead."

The old man's bright black eyes scanned back and forth between Lin Han's eyes. Finally, he exerted force with his hands and said:

"As long as you are willing to produce the evidence... I will leave this [Jinming Lake Bidding Picture] to you in the future!"

Lin Han looked back at him.

When asking Huangfu Xue for evidence, Lin Han didn't think that he would be able to obtain the right to deal with the Jinmingchi bidding map.

I just want to put up a sign at the treasure appraisal conference.

Now it seems that there may be unexpected gains.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, but you have to promise me not to get too excited later."

Mr. Zhang nodded, straightened his collar, and followed Lin Han into the conference room.

On the podium, Shu Huaixi was standing next to the host, looking at the bidders below holding up their signs with complacency.

After what Mr. Zhang did just now, the original starting price for the painting, which was estimated at 4 or 5 million and 50 or 60 million, has now been raised to 70 million, and people keep raising their hands.

Shu Huaixi took the microphone and interrupted:

"Dear bidders, the market estimate for Zhang Zeduan's famous painting is definitely around 100 million! It's not hard to imagine the profit margin."

The host excitedly called on the next bidder:

"That sir! Seventy-five million! Is there a higher offer than seventy-five million?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

In the silent conference room, Lin Han's voice at the door attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, discussions broke out.

"This Lin Han really knows how to steal the show!"

"What kind of joke is he? Others bid 75 million and he offered 200,000?"

"I think he is challenging the Shu family. He is overestimating his own capabilities!"

Shu Huaixi on the rostrum was already furious.

He pointed at Lin Han and said harshly:

"This is not the place for you to act wild!"

"If you disrupt the auction again, I will call the police!"

Lin Han and Mr. Zhang walked onto the podium under the gaze of countless people and the media cameras.

He raised the USB flash drive in his hand, looked around the audience, and said loudly:

"I'm sure you all remember what the old gentleman said just now! Twenty years ago, was it Shu Huaixi who snatched the old gentleman's words, or was it a voluntary transaction between the two parties?"

"Now I'm going to tell everyone!"

After Lin Han finished speaking, he looked at Shu Huaixi.

Shu Huaixi looked up at the USB flash drive in his hand and said with a disdainful smile:

"I've seen a lot of people who seek to attract attention, but there aren't many who are as shameless as you!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Bring out any evidence you have. I, Shu Huaixi, do things in an upright manner. Why would I be afraid of a nobody like you?"

"Okay!" Lin Han was waiting for him to say this.

Lin Han handed the USB drive to the host and asked her to play it on the big screen.

It is a video secretly filmed in a KTV room.

Seven or eight men and women were sitting on the sofa.

The woman was dressed coolly and the man was well-dressed, and he seemed to be of unusual status.

The one in the middle is Shu Huaixi.

He must be drunk, even in the dim light, you can tell he's drunk.

"I'm telling you! I got all of Zhang Zeduan's paintings! If I say 200,000, he'll give me 200,000!"

He pointed his finger in the camera: "You dare not give it to me? I'll just snatch it away! Haha!"

No one around him believed him.

“Stop blowing!”

"There are paintings by Zhang Zeduan, can you please take them out?"

However, the last two sentences were drowned out by the noisy discussions in the conference room.

And Shu Huaixi, who was standing on the rostrum, had countless expressions flashing across his face in an instant.

Surprise, questioning, unwillingness, and anger.

Finally, he pointed at Lin Han and shouted:

"You are slandering me! The video is a synthesis! I will sue you! Don't believe him!"

Lin Han came prepared: "I slandered you? Look carefully, this is a video from eight years ago, and eight years ago I was still a high school student!"

Shu Huaixi was furious and wanted to seek help from everyone, but he found that the people below the stage were pointing at him.

Seeing this, Lin Han approached and asked repeatedly:

"Video synthesis? I can find the people in the video right now and let them testify!"

"Two hundred thousand to steal someone else's painting, is this how your Shu family makes money?"

"Do you know how long Mr. Zhang has been looking for this painting? A full twenty years!"

Shu Huaixi retreated repeatedly due to his questions and couldn't utter a single word.

At the end, Lin Han pointed at the [Jinming Lake Bidding Map] and asked sternly:

"In front of so many people, tell me! Did you steal this painting?"

“I…I…”

Shu Huaixi was speechless and didn't want to admit it, but his face showed submission.

Countless treasure holders and bidders in the audience have already crowded around the rostrum.

They pointed at Shu Huaixi and asked:

"Did you steal it?"

“Why do you want to rob an old man?”

"How dare you be the boss in Siping City? You have no shame!"

The treasure holders who participated in the treasure appraisal conference included some scattered collectors from the private sector, and others were antique practitioners like Lin Han.

Shu Qing has dominated the antique world for many years.

Countless people have been offended.

Now that someone has come forward to express their opinions, they are naturally happy to follow suit.

Besides, Shu Huaixi's actions indeed broke the rules of the antique world!

The crowd became more and more excited as they talked, and some even walked up to the podium, demanding that Shu Huaixi give Mr. Zhang an explanation on the spot!

Lin Han knew that the time was almost right, so he supported Mr. Zhang and let him decide how to deal with the situation.

"Everyone, stop arguing! Listen to Mr. Zhang's opinion!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Mr. Zhang suppressed his excitement, and his voice trembled at the end:

"I give the right to dispose of this painting to Lin Han!"
