Just now, Mr. Ma merely looked down on Chen Xiaobei and paid a price of five million.
Shi Mingwei openly mocked Chen Xiaobei and Lan Mengchen, and there was no doubt that the consequences would be extremely serious!
In fact, Chen Xiaobei had already said earlier that he would make Shi Mingwei regret it for the rest of his life!
The real highlight was just about to begin!
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I'll now display the Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting..."
Shi Dafeng smiled proudly, about to unroll the scroll, but was directly interrupted by Chen Xiaobei.
"Boss Shi! This painting of yours is fake, isn't it?" Chen Xiaobei said loudly.
These words were like a bomb, instantly stirring up the surrounding crowd.
They had all come for the Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting today. If it was fake, hadn't they made this trip for nothing?
Uncle Qin and Lan Mengchen's face were also full of shocked.
They couldn't fathom what Chen Xiaobei was up to again.
"Bullshit! Don't listen to this kid's nonsense!"
Shi Dafeng furrowed his brows and shouted angrily: "To get this painting, I spent a full 200 million! I even mortgaged the Dafeng Jewelry store to the bank! How could it be fake!"
Chen Xiaobei remained calm and said indifferently: "How about we make a bet? A stake of 20 million, betting on whether this painting is real or fake!"
"Who do you think you are? Just a pretty boy! I disdain to bet with you!" Shi Dafeng raged.
"Disdain or dare not?" Chen Xiaobei sneered.
"Dare not? What a joke! It's not just 20 million—I'd even bet my life! The question is, do you, a pretty boy, have the money to bet?" Shi Dafeng's tone was full of disdain.
He was 120% sure that the painting in his hand was absolutely genuine!
In fact, Chen Xiaobei also knew very well that the painting was indeed authentic.
But Chen Xiaobei still wanted to bet with him!
"Open your dog eyes and look clearly!"
Chen Xiaobei took out his phone, opened the online banking page, and said: "My account balance is 20,940,000! I'll ask you again—dare you bet!"
When the balance was shown, Shi Dafeng was slapped in the face on the spot.
The people around were also very surprised. This young man in low-grade clothes was actually so rich!
Of course, the most surprised was Yao Bingbing.
Oh no, to be precise, it should be scared!
A few days ago, when Chen Xiaobei got six million, Yao Bingbing had already regretted it bitterly.
At this moment, facing the figure of 20 million, Yao Bingbing was so depressed she wanted to commit seppuku.
"Bet! Of course I'll bet!"
Shi Dafeng composed himself, greed in his eyes, and said: "If you want to give me 20 million for free, why would I refuse? With Heavenly Master as a witness, I'm not afraid you'll default!"
"Then I'll trouble Heavenly Master to be the witness," Chen Xiaobei cupped his hands to Murong Tian, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"No problem," Murong Tian nodded, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he looked at Chen Xiaobei.
This young man was either really amazing or really stupid!
"Xiaobei... what on earth are you doing? This is too reckless!" Lan Mengchen looked at Chen Xiaobei, anxious.
"Yes, Xiaobei, you're really too impulsive. Shi Dafeng really spent 200 million on that painting—it can't be fake!" Uncle Qin was also very worried.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing,"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and said calmly: "Boss Shi, please pass me the painting for appraisal."
"Huh?"
Shi Dafeng hesitated for a moment, then handed over the scroll: "With Heavenly Master here, I'm not afraid of you playing tricks."
"I'm just taking a look—what tricks can I play?" Chen Xiaobei curled his lips, a mischievous smile appearing.
As he slowly unrolled the scroll, everyone, including Murong Tian, widened their eyes, eager to catch a glimpse of the national treasure-level painting.
But!
In the next second, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
"Rip! Rrrrrrip..."
Without a word, Chen Xiaobei actually tore the painting to shreds in front of everyone!
In the end, he even disdainfully spat on it: "Pah! This kind of trash dares to be called genuine!"
Silence!
The entire mansion fell into deathly silence in an instant!
Even the most imaginative person would never have thought that Chen Xiaobei would do something so bold and shocking!
Shi Dafeng, with a net worth of 300 million, had used all his liquidity plus mortgaged the Dafeng Jewelry store to raise 200 million to buy this painting!
With one tear, Chen Xiaobei had directly torn up 200 million yuan!
"You little bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
Shi Dafeng, like a wild boar whose ass had been stabbed, charged at Chen Xiaobei with all his might, looking ready to fight to the death.
"Boss Shi! Stop!"
At this moment, Murong Tian let out a low growl,shouting: "No fighting in my place! That's the rule!"
"I..."
Shi Dafeng's expression was already ferocious, but even if he had ten more guts, he wouldn't dare to disobey Murong Tian.
"Heavenly Master! That little bastard tore up my Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting on your territory! You're a witness! You must give me an explanation!" Shi Dafeng ground his teeth and said.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this fairly,"
Murong Tian nodded, turned to Chen Xiaobei, and asked in a deep voice: "You tore up Boss Shi's Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting, so you must compensate him for his loss."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Mengchen and Uncle Qin panicked.
That loss was a full 200 million!
Even Lan Mengchen couldn't come up with that much money in a short time!
But Chen Xiaobei had a calm expression, saying indifferently: "I did tear the painting, and I'm willing to compensate, but this is a fake. I only want to compensate according to the price of a fake!"
"Bullshit! My Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting is absolutely genuine!" Shi Dafeng shouted angrily.
"Boss Shi! Let him finish speaking!"
Murong Tian said in a deep voice: "Young man, if you say this painting is fake, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course,"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said: "The real Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting is actually in my hands!"
"What? How is that possible?" Another wave of astonished voices erupted around them.
Lan Mengchen and Uncle Qin were also dumbfounded.
This matter was getting more and more out of hand!
Murong Tian raised his hand to silence everyone, saying: "Young man, since you say the real one is in your hand, bring it for everyone to see. That way, you can prove that what you tore up was a fake."
"Of course, but I didn't bring it with me. I need to go back to get it," Chen Xiaobei nodded.
"Heavenly Master! Don't believe him! That little bastard can't possibly have the real one! He's trying to run away!" Shi Dafeng shouted angrily.
"Boss Shi, don't worry. I'll personally go with him to get the painting," Murong Tian said in a deep voice.
"Good! With Heavenly Master's word, I'm relieved!"
Shi Dafeng showed a ferocious expression, his voice venomous: "Little bastard! If you can't produce the real painting! I'll not only make you pay for it! I'll also skin you alive and pull out your tendons!"
