The whole place fell into silence.
Ye Tiandao looked at Cassia with sincere and fiery eyes, "Please."
Cassia nodded, left her seat, and walked to the booth gracefully.
Ye Anjin and Fu Yusheng watched Kasia's every move calmly.
Kasia had a graceful figure and calm steps. She walked to the painting and leaned slightly, carefully examining every stroke and every stroke on the painting.
Her eyes were sharp and focused, and she raised her hand to gently touch the seal, just like a professional art appraiser.
Ye Tiandao stood aside, breathing the faint fragrance of Cassia's long hair. Looking at her willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, high nose and cherry lips, she was impeccably beautiful, and he suddenly felt a little distracted.
He thought that it would be great if Cassia also knew how to identify treasures and was of the same mind as him.
"This painting was probably painted by Ren Bonian between the ages of 40 and 60. The paper strips move rhythmically and the ink and colors are natural. It is a rare masterpiece."
Cassia raised her head and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Baode produces exquisite treasures, and it is indeed well-deserved."
"I didn't expect you to be an expert. We are so destined. Oh, by the way, what is your name?"
Ye Tiandao was overjoyed.
“Oh, my name is Zhao Xia.”
After Kasia finished speaking, she walked towards the bidding booth and waved her hand, "Hello everyone, you can take this auction with confidence!"
After saying that, Cassia nodded to Ye Tiandao again, and Shi Shiran returned to his seat.
There was a sound of bidding in the audience.
The starting price was 100,000, and it suddenly jumped to 400,000.
Ye Tiandao shouted the price passionately from the front, holding the pricing mallet and dancing like a peacock with its tail spread.
Ye Anjin took Fu Yusheng out of the side door while no one was paying attention.
The monitoring room is on the second floor.
Ye An Jin was familiar with the road and led Fu Yusheng into the monitoring room.
Close the security door and you can speak with confidence.
On the screen, the entire auction venue was in full view.
Kasia sat on the chair with her feet flat, her back straight, her hands folded on her thighs, and a decent smile on her face.
Ye Anjin moved the mouse to enlarge Cassia's image, "Have her verification results come out?"
Fu Yusheng looked at his phone, "Yeah. Zhao Xia is from Urumqi, Xinjiang... She is a fashion designer and has registered a clothing company in Beijing. There is no problem in seeing her personal information. Oh, she has also studied antique appreciation, and her level seems to be pretty good."
"It's just fake. I've seen this painting before. It's a portrait of Ren Bonian before he was 40 years old."
Ye Anjin disagreed, "When he was 40 to 50 years old, he painted a lot of flowers and birds. After the age of 52, he became addicted to drinking and smoking opium. He seldom wrote and had no good works."
Fu Yusheng frowned slightly, "In front of everyone, he can calmly and unhurriedly make up his mind. His psychological quality is good."
Ye Anjin: "Maybe she got it through hard work in the mall. Show me her information."
Fu Yusheng handed over the phone.
The document Xiao Fan sent was Zhao Xia's household registration form, and the relevant information was clear at a glance.
Although Zhao Xia in the photo looks a little childish, her face is indeed the same as the one present.
The clothing company under her name is registered at 10 million yuan, so she is not a cash-strapped owner.
I can't see any flaws at the moment.
"Let's wait and see what happens. Maybe she just wants to show off her skills in front of Ye Tiandao and make him look at her with admiration." Ye Anjin returned the phone to Fu Yusheng, "People who fall in love want to be dazzling in the eyes of the other person. .”
Fu Yusheng gave her a meaningful look and hit the nail on the head, "It's cheating. You use deception to gain favor. Do you think such a woman is sincere?"
The night is like a dream.
Instead of making people feel glamorous, cheating to win favor can make people feel disgusted and disappointed.
True love should be honest, not disguised with deception and lies.
Fu Yusheng sneered, "Coming here prepared, doing what she likes, and deliberately showing off her talents and appearance can only show that she has something wrong in her heart."
Ye Anjin: "Then what should we do? Stop Ye Tiandao?"
"It's difficult. It's difficult for a hero to be a beauty, not to mention Ye Tiandao is not a hero yet."
"Beauty trap? What's Ye Tiandao's plan?" Ye Anjin was puzzled, "She didn't add anything to the matter just now. I believe they fell in love at first sight."
"She doesn't know that the real expert is here. Her paper tiger can be broken with just one poke." Fu Yusheng said, pulling up a chair, "Master Ye, please sit down."
Ye Anjin was amused by him and sat down.
"But we don't have any reason to object to this matter now. If we interfere forcefully, it would be inhumane." Fu Yusheng leaned on the table and looked at Cassia on the screen, "And we have to tell Ye Tiandao that we are going out tomorrow. Travel by car and come back in half a month to celebrate the New Year.”
"Really? You want to take me out to play?"
Ye Anjin's eyes shone.
"Yes. You have been abroad for five years, and you have been working with me since you came back. You have repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and received many rewards." Fu Yusheng smiled like a flower, "Actually, I have wanted to take you and Uncle Chang out for a long time. I have a task at hand that I can’t leave.”
"No, there are other reasons." Ye Anjin said thoughtfully, "Are you afraid that Zhao Xia is coming for us?"
Fu Yusheng's eyes were filled with admiration, "Sometimes I think you are smarter than me."
Ye Anjin couldn't help laughing, "It's a disguised boast! Why do you have such concerns?"
"Ye Tiandao is not so charming, so that the seemingly perfect Zhao Xia is so attentive. I think that Xie Chenfei's gang has been almost wiped out recently, and the forces behind them must be suspicious of the people around Xie Chenfei. You are their first target of suspicion. "
Fu Yusheng said, "Besides me, Ye Tiandao is your only friend, so they may start from Ye Tiandao to find out our details."
Ye Anjin's heart tightened, "Ye Tiandao doesn't know anything, but if we leave, will he be in danger?"
Fu Yusheng thought for a while, "Don't worry, Zhao Xia will not threaten Ye Tiandao's life, otherwise she would not dare to make such a high-profile appearance. In addition, I will also ask Zhou Lukai to send someone to protect him."
Ye Anjin nodded.
"If Ye Tiandao insists on marrying this Zhao Xia, let's not stop him. Under normal circumstances, Ye Tiandao is so old, and as his friends, we should be happy to see it happen. If we stop him, we will look weird. Ye Tiandao doesn't understand. , we are also easily exposed.”
Fu Yusheng's thoughtful thinking made Ye Anjin teachable.
"Okay. No matter what Zhao Xia's purpose is, let's give her an empty city plan first. Anyway, we still have Zhou Lukai and Chen Shisheng, let them help us keep an eye on her movements."
Ye Anjin turned to look at Zhao Xia on the screen, looking at her carefully from head to toe, "I hope we are too worried."
"Yes. It is essential to be on guard against others. Our work is highly confidential and dangerous. Once exposed, lives may be threatened. The most annoying thing is that we cannot continue to perform tasks locally."
Fu Yusheng touched Ye Anjin's head and said, "I know you like this place. This is your root."
Ye Anjin couldn't help but grabbed his hand and kissed it.
However, in the blink of an eye, Ye Anjin noticed Zhao Xia's hand.
Under the high-definition camera, Zhao Xia's zoomed-in image appeared in detail.
Originally, her hands were folded on her thighs, and there was no problem.
At this time, she raised her right hand to stir up her long hair, and put her delicate hand on top of her head to stroke her hair.
Ye Anjin quickly shook the mouse to freeze the picture and enlarged the right hand on her head.
The two saw that the knuckles of Zhao Xia's index finger were thick and had obvious calluses.
Ye Anjin stretched out her right hand and looked at it. She also had such a callus at the same position on her right index finger.
"This is a callus formed by people who have been using scalpels and medical equipment all year round. She is a fashion designer, how can she have it?"
Ye Anjin was puzzled.
She knows very well that surgical operations require the use of a scalpel, or frequent clenching and loosening of surgical instruments, which produces continuous pressure and friction on the finger skin, which will thicken the cuticle of the fingers and form this unique callus.
Fu Yusheng took a closer look and said, "The costume designer needs to use scissors. Could it be sharpened by scissors?"
"Probably not. If you use commonly used scissors, calluses will form on your thumbs." Ye Anjin was not sure, "But now there is a kind of scissors that will not scratch your thumbs."
"Don't worry, let's wait for work."
Fu Yusheng sent a screenshot of the enlarged image of Zhao Xia's whole body and part of her right hand to Xiao Fan and others, asking them to pay close attention.
The two quietly returned to the venue and sat back down.
The auction is in full swing.
Ye Tiandao was very lively on stage, building a prosperous career while sweetly showing off his love.
That guy glanced at Zhao Xia when he had some free time. The two of them communicated through the air, their eyes so entangled that sparks flew everywhere.
Ye Anjin and Fu Yusheng exchanged helpless looks and made a conscious exit...
