Chapter 154: Treasure Appraisal Meeting

Seeing Tian Gang flung out, Lin Jiadong was completely stunned.

Wasn't he supposed to be a master? How did he get thrown out after just one meeting?

He even felt like he could have done it himself.

It's just being thrown out, right?

But he still rushed over and helped Tian Gang up.

"Elder Tian, are you okay?"

Tian Gang, shaken from the fall, shook his head.

Looking at Lin Jiadong who had helped him up, he felt a bit embarrassed.

"I'm fine; that brat just sneak-attacked me!"

"A sneak attack?"

Lin Jiadong's mouth twitched. If anyone sneak-attacked, it was you who sneak-attacked Lin Yang.

How did it turn into Lin Yang sneak-attacking you in an instant?

But he didn't directly call him out on it.

"You're right; this brat Lin Yang often pulls sneak attacks like that!"

"Let's head back, heal our wounds, then fight him fair and square!"

"Okay."

Before leaving, Tian Gang didn't forget to threaten Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, if you're a man, don't run away in two days."

Lin Yang heard him, looked at him, and said.

"Why wait two days?"

"In two days, Elder Lei will arrive in the southwest to avenge his disciple."

"His disciple?"

Seeing Lin Yang's doubtful look, Tian Gang snorted and said.

"Don't play dumb; Liao Bu Fan is his disciple."

"Are you saying Liao Bu Fan wasn't killed by you?"

Lin Yang said, suddenly understanding: "Oh, it's to avenge his disciple; I recall there being such a person."

"Then I'll be waiting for you."

After they left, Du Juan looked worriedly at Lin Yang.

"Master, they look like trouble; why don't you go hide?"

"Hide? Why would I need to hide?"

"They look very formidable."

Looking at the anxious Du Juan, Lin Yang smiled and said to her.

"It's fine; I can handle it."

Hearing that, Du Juan said nothing more.

Although they've only known each other a short time, she believes Lin Yang doesn't boast.

At that moment, Lin Yang's phone suddenly rang.

"Mr. Lin, do you have time?"

Hearing Lu Linglong's voice, Lin Yang smiled slightly.

"Sure, come find me."

Lu Linglong laughed on the other end, acknowledged, and hung up.

Half an hour later, a Porsche pulled up outside the Yiguan.

Lu Linglong got out of the car and walked up to Lin Yang.

"My father wants to buy antiques; hearing you know something about them, I came to ask for your help."

"No trouble, let's go."

Watching Lin Yang take the passenger seat, Du Juan muttered.

"My master's luck with women is really not bad."

"Everyone she's with is a first-rate beauty."

Meanwhile, Lu Linglong brought Lin Yang to a villa.

In the villa's living room, four boss-like figures were seated.

Each had an elderly person beside them.

These elders had been brought by the bosses to appraise antiques for them.

Lin Yang was seeing this for the first time and felt curious.

"Antiques are actually traded here."

Lu Linglong whispered, "Everyone here is an acquaintance, saving us the trip to the auction house."

"Moreover, who here snags a bargain or makes a mistake becomes the talk of the circle."

Only then did Lin Yang realize this was merely a playground for wealthy merchants.

"Old Lu, what's going on this time? You didn't bring anyone for treasure appraisal."

"Have you given up, or have you trained yourself to have a pair of fiery golden eyes?"

Lu Jin Yan heard this and gave a cold snort.

"Fang Jie, you'd better look after yourself."

"Don't spend a lot of money to find someone, only to be embarrassed later; when the time comes and you're laughed at, don't get angry."

Fang Jie, upon hearing his shortcomings exposed, gritted his teeth and said.

"You don't need to worry; you just need to watch yourself."

Lu Jin Yan smiled proudly and said: "Who said I'm looking at it myself?"

"I've actually hired an expert."

Expert?

Everyone looked around and finally settled on Lin Yang.

"Is the expert you mentioned him? Isn't he your son-in-law?"

Just now Lin Yang and Lu Linglong entered together, and everyone subconsciously assumed they were a couple.

Lu Linglong heard everyone's words, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

"All you uncles, don't talk nonsense!"

"Mr. Lin this time is someone my father invited; he is very accomplished in antique appraisal."

Everyone hearing Lu Linglong's words just smiled indifferently.

A twenty-something young person—how accomplished could they possibly be?

In the antique business, it all depends on having seen a lot and being knowledgeable.

That's why these older masters are so popular.

Fang Jie sneered: "Could it be that the Lu family can't afford to hire a master?"

After saying that, he burst out laughing.

Upon hearing that, Lu Jin Yan's face immediately darkened.

But after glancing at Lin Yang beside him, he also felt uncertain in his heart.

He admitted Lin Yang's medical skills are superb, but as for antique appraisal, he has doubts.

"Daughter, is Mr. Lin really capable? He isn't a doctor, is he?"

"Rest assured, he once made Zhu Kejian vomit blood from anger."

Lin Yang naturally also heard Lu Jin Yan's words; he smiled faintly and didn't say more.

"Everyone, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"This first antique item is a painting."

A middle-aged man with a crew cut and a square face had someone hold out a painting and walk forward.

The person came out, unfolded the scroll, and everyone immediately gathered around.

At this moment, Lin Yang's eyes flickered with a faint golden light as he looked at the ancient painting, taking in all the information.

When everyone had finished looking, Fang Jie saw Lin Yang standing still and sneered.

"Aren't you the treasure appraisal expert? Why don't you come up and take a look?"

"No need; I've seen it clearly right here."

Hearing that, Fang Jie gave a cold chuckle.

He asked: "Then what did you see?"

"It is a painting, but also not a painting."

Upon hearing that, everyone burst out laughing.

Fang Jie sneered: "Turns out he's a fraud."

"Old Lu, you've found a fraud this time."

At this moment, Lu Jin Yan anxiously looked at Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, it's clearly a painting—why do you say it isn't?"

Mr. Wu glanced at Lin Yang, then turned his gaze to Fang Jie.

"Mr. Fang, please tell us, which dynasty is this from?"

Fang Jie glanced at the old man beside him.

The old man in a white Zhongshan suit stepped forward and said.

"This must be a copy of Gu Kaizhi's *Nüshi Zhen Tu* from the Jin Dynasty."

Mr. Wu nodded and said to the others.

"Everyone, any other opinions?"

"No, this is definitely a copy."

The old man smiled proudly, looked at Lin Yang and said.

"Young man, you seemed to have a different opinion just now."

Fang Jie sneered: "A little brat—what opinion could you have? I think Old Lu has been deceived."

Upon hearing that, Lu Jin Yan's face looked extremely grim.
