I am doing well in the Siheyuan

A report was quickly completed and after being reviewed and revised by the editor, it entered the typesetting and printing stage.

Although the so-called daily newspapers of this era were not published daily, but were actually eight issues a month, the content of this report was so shocking that there were still two days before the next issue of the newspaper was published.

However, Guan's parents were completely unaware of the changes that had taken place at the Foley Auction House.

After they got the antique, they planned to return abroad with the treasure.

The two had been stranded in the country for a long time and were already feeling a lot of discomfort.

After half a day of packing, they arrived at the airport.

"Hello, please note that there are prohibited items in your box."

When going through security check, the two were stopped, looking confused.

After a while, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong blue and white hexagonal vase was taken out of their suitcases.

"Any organization or individual who carries, mails or transports cultural relics out of the country must declare it to the customs, and the customs will release it based on the cultural relics export permit."

The airport quickly showed them a notice and temporarily detained the Qing Qianlong blue and white hexagonal vase.

"When was this rule made?" Guan's parents were completely confused. They were completely unaware of this rule and had never heard that antiques could not be taken out of the country when traveling.

"This is a new regulation released two months ago. In view of the soaring value of antiques, in order to prevent the loss of cultural relics, antiques have been included in the scope of strict customs inspections." Customs staff explained.

"These are just handicrafts, not antiques!" Guan's mother tried to deceive the customs, and she casually put the antique identification certificate in her bag. Without the certificate, it would be difficult for customs to determine that it was an antique.

"Our experts will be here shortly."

Faced with Guan's mother's anxious urging, the customs officers did not compromise.

Not long after, an elderly expert with flowing silver hair hurried over.

"Can you hurry up? The plane is about to take off. Can you afford to pay for missing the flight?"

Guan's mother glanced at the time and questioned the customs officer angrily.

"Don't worry, if you miss your flight due to our fault, we will assist you in refunding your ticket."

The customs officers' attitude remains serious.

The expert took the bottle and examined it carefully. After the appraisal, he shook his head and said to the customs officer:

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you two. This is indeed a work of art. You still have time to catch the plane now. Please board as soon as possible!"

In this way, Guan's father and mother passed the examination smoothly.

However, after they left, the expert spoke to the customs officers.

"There is a flood of fakes nowadays. All the antiques that were released a month ago were real, but now half of them are fakes."

"Counterfeiting is rampant. My friend at the Cultural Relics Bureau told me that more than half of the antiques sold by Foley Auction House are fakes. I think they will be exposed in the news in a couple of days."

"Is this news true? Doesn't that mean a lot of wealthy people have been cheated?"

"Why should we worry about this? They have a lot of money and are stupid. They deserve to be cheated."

Just as Guan's father and mother were about to leave, they heard these conversations and could not help but look at each other in surprise.

"Are we leaving yet?" Guan's father asked hesitantly. He found it hard to accept the fact that the item he spent millions to buy turned out to be a fake.

"How about we wait and see what the news says in the past two days?" Guan's mother recalled what the expert had just said about "handicrafts" and her face became serious.

As soon as the words fell, the two turned and left.

"Hey, weren't those two people catching a plane? Why are they walking back?"

"Did you take the wrong road? Should we remind you?"

"Forget it, don't you see how they treated us just now!"

The backs of Guan's father and mother disappeared in the crowd, leaving behind them the discussions of experts and customs officials.

The customs officers saw Guan's mother leaving and did not pay any attention.

The other side.

After more than a day of interrogation, Li Huaide was released from the police station due to lack of evidence, but the assets obtained from the second auction had been seized.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong was detained due to solid evidence.

At the same time, the "Sijiucheng Daily" also reached the time for publication.

During these two days, some people have expressed doubts about the closure of the Foley Auction House, but due to limited information channels, the real reason has not been widely circulated. Instead, various rumors of rectification have spread.

"A major counterfeiting case in Sijiu City was solved, and the illegal profits involved were as high as 20 million yuan!"

With the release of the latest issue of "Sijiu City Daily", the entire Sijiu City seemed to have experienced a storm.

Inside Jinchangsheng Company, the office was unusually quiet.

Between Uncle Liu and Su Meng, there was a copy of "Sijiu City Daily" on the table.

"Uncle, is what you read in the newspaper true?"

After a long silence, Su Meng broke the silence.

After reading the newspaper, she found it hard to accept the truth of the matter.

"I didn't expect the Lou family to be so powerful. Now the Foley Auction House is completely ruined."

Uncle Liu sighed deeply.

On the surface, this is a contest between Uncle Guan and Marquis Polan, but in reality, the manipulator behind the scenes is Lou Xiao'e.

"No, uncle, I'm asking, could the antiques we bought be fake?"

Su Meng emphasized the problem again.

Han Chunming once mentioned that the antiques might be fakes, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now, after hearing the news from the newspaper, she couldn't help but become alert.

"How about we ask an expert to identify it?"

Uncle Liu couldn't help but hesitate.

Although he tried to convince himself that this was just Lou Xiao'e's trick, since it was published in the newspaper, those half-real and half-fake antiques must exist.

It was just that the Foley Auction House was caught by Lou Xiaoe because of this handle.

"Who should we go to then? Will Uncle Guan and the others really be honest with us? After all, they are from Changze Auction House."

Su Meng expressed doubts about this and did not dare to easily believe Han Chunming and his related people.

"Let's go find Uncle Guan. As long as we don't say these antiques are from the Foley Auction House, there shouldn't be any big problems. After all, Changze Auction House has a good reputation in the industry."

Uncle Liu is not as suspicious as Su Meng and firmly believes that Uncle Guan is an honest and trustworthy person.

"All right!"

Su Meng nodded.

"Uncle, what if these antiques are indeed fake?"

Then, Su Meng asked worriedly again.

At present, there is a 50% chance that these antiques are fakes.

"Then let's go find Cheng Jianjun to settle the score!"

Uncle Liu frowned, looking gloomy.

If the antiques are fake, it is very likely that Cheng Jianjun deceived them, and they can only ask him for an explanation.

More than three million is not a small amount.

"Will it be useful to look for him?"

Su Meng also frowned and understood something about Cheng Jianjun.

Once the truth comes out, Cheng Jianjun will definitely try his best to distance himself from it.

If he is unlucky, he might even end up in jail. Then who can he ask for the money from?

“Gotta try it!”

Uncle Liu said helplessly.

If these antiques are indeed fakes, their financial pressure will suddenly increase.

Just when Uncle Liu and Su Meng were planning to find Uncle Guan to verify, Guan's parents had similar ideas.
