On the other hand, Yu Nian was also worried about this problem.
"Xiaobai, do you think... Grandpa would really believe it? I always feel that he is very smart and doesn't seem like someone who would be easily fooled."
After all, all the coincidences that happened today even seemed deliberate to him.
Yu Bai didn't answer directly, but said, "Third brother, pretend to be casual and glance back quietly. Be more natural."
Yu Nian obeyed, turning his head seemingly casually.
In the darkness, a sneaky figure was following.
"Second uncle...he followed us?" Yu Nian was a little surprised.
"Oh!"
Yu Bai smiled casually.
"Old Man Yu has lived most of his life and is very suspicious. Today, I deliberately revealed so many 'flaws'. It would be strange if he didn't suspect me."
"The more suspicious he is, the more likely he will ask Second Uncle to confirm the authenticity."
"but,"
Yu Bai changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"It is precisely because he has come that our next plan can truly begin."
"Because...from now on, everything we do is real."
Yu Nian instantly understood his sister's meaning.
The previous preparation is bait, and what comes next is the real killer move!
Soon, Yu Bai and Yunian arrived at Professor Li Baizhong's home.
At this moment, Li Baizhong's family had obviously just finished hosting a dinner. The lights in the study were bright and the air was filled with the aroma of tea.
In addition to Li Baizhong, there were seven or eight middle-aged men and women with elegant temperaments. Judging from their clothes, they were either rich or noble. They were obviously influential figures in the antique circle.
Li Baizhong, who was drinking tea and chatting, immediately greeted Yu Bai and Yu Nian warmly when he saw them come in.
"Hey, Xiaobai, Xiaonian, you're here!"
"The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Come and have some tea to quench your thirst."
Several guests also cast curious glances.
Yu Bai took the teacup handed to him by Li Baizhong with both hands, said thank you, but did not bring it to his lips.
She turned her gaze to Yu Nian: "Third brother, take out the things."
Yu Nian nodded and placed the heavy wooden box, which he had been holding carefully in his arms, steadily on the floor in the middle of the study.
With a "click", the lid of the box was opened.
Then he took out two long objects wrapped in layers of thick cloth from the long cloth bag he was carrying and placed them gently next to the box.
As the lid of the box opened and the two long objects appeared, the originally relaxed conversation and laughter came to an abrupt end.
The study suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the contents of the box and the cloth bag next to it.
Inside the box were bronze vessels, jade wares, and pottery pieces that exuded an ancient and heavy atmosphere.
There are even some strange objects that have never been seen before, all with a distinct pre-Qin style.
The two long objects that were slowly unwrapped turned out to be two ancient bronze swords with simple shapes and a faint green light!
“This…this is…”
The closest, an elegant man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stepped forward first.
The crowd could no longer contain themselves and gathered around and came forward.
They moved extremely carefully, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. They stretched out their hands, wearing gloves or through silk, and gently stroked those artifacts that had gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes.
Yu Bai and Yunian looked at each other, then tacitly stepped aside, leaving the space completely to these excited antique lovers and experts.
Time seemed to stand still.
About five minutes passed before the oppressive silence was broken.
"Oh my god... this... this bronze jug, these patterns, this patina... it's absolutely authentic! And it's in such perfect condition!"
"And this jade bi! Look at the patina, the carving... I've only seen similar descriptions in ancient books, but I never thought I'd actually see it in person!"
"These two swords... wow, they're so well preserved! It's a miracle! They've survived thousands of years!"
There were exclamations and shouts of surprise one after another, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and disbelief.
The authenticity of these objects is beyond doubt, and their exquisiteness and state of preservation are beyond their imagination.
Some shapes and patterns only exist in the most obscure ancient records and have never been recorded as unearthed, but now they are presented vividly before our eyes!
After a brief moment of appreciation and admiration, the atmosphere quickly became heated.
"Professor Li, I want this... this! Please give me an estimate!"
"Old Wang, don't rush! I've got my eye on that terracotta figurine! Miss Xiaobai, how much would you pay for it?"
"That dagger! I must get that dagger!"
The scene instantly turned into a small bidding meeting.
These experts and wealthy businessmen, who are usually calm and elegant, are now like chicken blood, and have started to bid and divide the goods.
Yu Bai always kept smiling, and the prices were all set by Li Bai, which were very fair and reasonable.
But in just half an hour, most of the items in the box and the two bronze swords had found their owners.
Yu Bai looked at the continuous notifications of account arrival on his phone, and the smile on his lips deepened a little - it was a bountiful harvest, nothing more than that.
At the same time, in a hidden corner outside the wall of Li Baizhong's house.
Yu Dongshun clung to the cold wall like a gecko, not daring to breathe.
He didn't care about the terms that came from the study, such as "patina" and "infiltration", which he didn't quite understand.
What he cared about were those extremely clear numbers that hit his heart like a hammer!
“…Five hundred thousand!”
"...This one can't be bought without 800,000!"
“…One million and two hundred thousand!”
"...I'll give you three million for this sword!"
"...Five million! I want this jade set!"
One astronomical figure after another bombarded Yu Dongshun’s head, which was filled with greed.
He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat, his blood seemed to have frozen, and even the most basic breathing became extremely difficult.
Eight million... thirty or forty million...
It turns out...it turns out that what that damn girl said...was actually all true!!
No!
Even more than she said!
The huge shock and ecstasy, like the most violent storm, instantly swept through Yu Dongshun's entire consciousness.
