Seeing that the boss from Penglai remained calm and did not seem panicked, Gu Jinhe asked her back.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something. Then, as if she suddenly realized something, she looked at the Penglai boss and said with a half-smile: "Come to think of it, I don't know your name, boss?"

Boss Penglai looked at the expression on Gu Jinhe's face, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "My last name is Li, Li Penglai."

Gu Jinhe frowned in confusion when he heard this, and said, "Why do I seem to have heard that your name is not this?"

Li Penglai's expression changed, and he looked at Gu Jinhe with a hint of suspicion and danger.

At this time, the bodyguards had surrounded Li Penglai, and Xu Cheng stood between Gu Jinhe and Li Penglai to prevent him from taking desperate measures and hurting Gu Jinhe.

Li Penglai looked at the bodyguards surrounding him and his heart sank. These people were all martial artists and it seemed they came prepared.

He restrained his expression, looked at Gu Jinhe and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

Gu Jinhe said in a slightly cold tone: "Give me back the original, and I can consider not making a fuss about it."

Who would believe this?

Li Penglai frowned tightly. This matter has never been leaked over the years. Even if someone suspected him, there was no evidence and no one could catch him.

But Gu Jinhe only took a look at the painting and said that it was not her original one. If the authenticity can be identified at a glance, then what are those authentication experts doing?

There are only two possibilities for Gu Jinhe to be so sure that this painting is fake.

First, she knew the secret behind the Penglai Art Exhibition, and she brought so many people here just to find something to hold against him, even using paintings worth hundreds of millions as bait.

Second, she is also a bait.

Li Penglai frowned as he looked at Gu Jinhe. From her dress and temperament, he could tell that she had a strong background. In addition, the people around her were all good fighters.

Li Penglai couldn't understand why a rich lady would interfere in his affairs?

And he had no impression of Gu Jinhe at all. If they had met before, he would definitely not forget it.

Li Penglai insisted that the painting in front of him was the original, and even accused Gu Jinhe of doing this to blackmail him.

At this time, almost all the staff of the Penglai Art Exhibition came here, including some guests who had not left, and gradually more and more people surrounded here.

Li Penglai also took the initiative to call the police.

Gu Jinhe watched Li Penglai ask someone to call the police with such confidence, and he knew that there must be someone protecting him behind the scenes.

What a coincidence! She came here today just to take everything down in one fell swoop!

Xu Cheng looked at the current situation with a slightly solemn expression. He didn't know why Gu Jinhe was so sure that the painting had been swapped, but for now he could only follow Gu Jinhe's ideas and take it one step at a time.

Shuhua and Shumo stood behind Gu Jinhe, looking at Li Penglai, a fat and strong man standing opposite them, with a rather unhappy expression.

How dare they bully the Gu family? Are they tired of living?

While waiting for the police to arrive, Xu Cheng had someone bring a chair for Gu Jinhe to sit down and wait, and also had someone prepare a table, a pot of hot water and tea sets.

Shuhua didn't care about the people surrounding her outside at all. She warmed the cup steadily, poured in the tea, and brewed it with smooth movements, as if this was not a theft scene but a tea art performance.

Finally, Shuhua poured the brewed tea into the cup and handed it to Gu Jinhe with both hands.

The people outside gradually quieted down when Gu Jinhe sat down and Shuhua started to make tea. In the huge exhibition room, except for the breathing of the people, the only sound was the pleasant gurgling sound of tea being poured, and the rich tea fragrance began to spread all around.

Everyone looked at Gu Jinhe, sipping his tea calmly and as if no one was around, and they all felt a little doubtful for a moment.

The people working at the Penglai Art Exhibition were afraid that their boss had really swapped Gu Jinhe's calligraphy and paintings. If this was true, they would all be in trouble.

The expressions of the guests who were still here changed constantly, and many of them even picked up the paintings in their hands and began to examine them carefully, fearing that their precious paintings had been replaced.

Gu Jinhe was so sure that Li Penglai had swapped her paintings, and even after Li Penglai called the police, she was able to sit down and drink tea so calmly. Half of the people believed that what she said was true, while the other half were a little afraid that it was true.

Penglai paintings have been displayed for many years, and paintings of many world-famous collectors have appeared and auctioned here. If there is really a problem here.

May I ask, if this matter gets out of hand, what will be the attitude of the higher-ups?

Li Penglai saw someone checking the painting in his hand, but there was no fear on his face. He just felt a little annoyed when he saw Gu Jinhe's behavior of not taking him seriously.

Ever since the Penglai Art Exhibition became famous, who hasn't been polite to him?

Even those who have a good background or are in a high position, as long as he has what they want and ask him for something, don't they have to serve him obediently?

Li Penglai had indeed swapped Gu Jinhe's painting. After receiving the news, he immediately had someone copy such a valuable painting.

Since a painting worth over 100 million yuan was released today, Li Penglai has not touched the other paintings for the time being. Now they have become evidence for him to prove himself.

While Li Penglai was guessing about Gu Jinhe's identity and background in his mind, he was also wondering if he had offended anyone recently. He suspected that Gu Jinhe was sent by someone to set a trap for him.

But Li Penglai thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't figure out which force Gu Jinhe belonged to. He had been in the capital for many years. Although he had never met many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families, he had heard some rumors about them. But he had never heard of any young lady who liked to meddle in other people's business.

When this painting was appraised, the name left was Shu Mo's, but this name is obviously useless.

At this time, the police also came. Because the value of the calligraphy and paintings involved a large amount of money, a lot of special police also came.

Li Penglai called the police and he was the first to explain everything. The police recorded the video and took notes while questioning him. Li Penglai told them everything without hiding anything, except the fact that he swapped the paintings.

The police evacuated the people who were surrounding this area and released all the unnecessary personnel.

Then he looked at the bodyguards around Gu Jinhe. The leading policeman frowned at these people. He smelled a hint of the same kind on these people.

That is the belief and spirit that penetrates into our bones.

The policeman walked towards Gu Jinhe, and Xu Cheng stepped in front of him and whispered, "If you have any questions, I can answer them."

Police: “Who are you?”

Xu Cheng: "My last name is Xu."

Police: "Mr. Xu, do you have any evidence to prove that the owner of the Penglai Art Exhibition swapped your paintings?"
