C14 It Was Just a Joke

"Mr. Zhao, do you keep your word?"

"Of course."

"Okay, then you just wait to eat your paintings."

Qin Fei smiled proudly and turned to the shop owner, "Boss, let me use the paper knife."

"Okay!"

The shop owner had just earned two thousand dollars from Qin Fei and was still excited. When he heard that he wanted the wall paper knife, he quickly found a knife and handed it to him.

Qin Fei laid the broken painting flat on the counter and carefully cut open the painting with the paper knife.

No one knew what kind of trick Qin Fei was playing. They all stared at Qin Fei with their eyes wide open.

When the painting was cut open, everyone turned pale with fright.

They didn't expect that there was another painting hidden in the broken painting. A painting!

What was going on?

They really couldn't understand. The painting was so complete, so how did Qin Fei know that there was a painting hidden in the axis?

While everyone was secretly shocked, Qin Fei unfolded the painting in front of everyone.

"Wah!"

"Oh my god!"

"Ink Lotus Chart!"

After the painting was opened, many people exclaimed.

Most of the people present were skilled in painting, and they were able to recognize with a single glance that this painting was the genuine product of Zhang Daqian's Ink Lotus Painting.

Zhang Daqian was the founder of the Hall of Gale Sect, and he was known as the Eastern Divine Brush. His painting had a great collection value.

This ink red lotus painting was his most prized work, and its market price was currently around two million!

"I didn't expect that such a precious painting of Master Zhang would be hidden in such a cheap painting!"

"If not for this brat discovering that there was a painting hidden in the axis, I'm afraid that this rare painting would have been thrown away as trash!"

"No wonder he was willing to spend 2000 to buy a rubbish painting. It turns out that he was able to pry into the secret within the painting. This brat isn't simple..."

For a moment, everyone was discussing spiritedly. To think that they had mocked Qin Fei for being an idiot just now. They never expected that he was a king and that he would be able to tell that there was a treasure hidden within the painting with a single glance!

"My god!"

Lin Shurong could not believe her eyes. She stared at the ink red lotus painting for a long time before finally looking at Qin Fei. "Fei, how did you discover that there was a treasure hidden in the painting?"

If she did not see it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that the rubbish painting that Fei bought had another world.

At this moment, her curiosity towards Qin Fei had deepened!

"This is a long story. I will explain it to you in the future."

Qin Fei smiled at her and carefully put away the ink red lotus. Then he looked at Zhao Sihai with a sneer and said, "Boss Zhao, do you think this is a treasure?"

"You..."

Zhao Sihai opened his mouth, but he couldn't even let out a fart.

He really didn't expect Qin Fei to be so lucky that he found Zhang Daqian's masterpiece in a pile of trash.

And he only spent two thousand dollars to buy a two million dollar treasure!

"Boss Zhao, come, let's start your performance."

At this moment, Qin Fei crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.

Zhao Sihai did not react for a moment, "What performance?"

"Boss Zhao is really forgetful. You promised in front of everyone that if this is a treasure in my hands, you will perform and eat calligraphy and paintings in front of everyone."

"I..."

Zhao Sihai no longer had the arrogance and firmness from before. He licked his face and said with a smile, "I was just casually saying it before. It was just a joke."

He did not know that there was a treasure hidden in Qin Fei's tattered painting.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have made such a promise even if he was beaten to death!

"Boss Zhao, do you like to joke around?" Qin Fei tilted his head, and the smile on his face seemed to have malicious intentions.

"Hehe!"

Zhao Sihai grinned and licked his face. "We are already so familiar with each other. It would not hurt to joke occasionally."

Smack!

Qin Fei raised his hand and slapped Zhao Sihai's face. "Boss Zhao, does your face hurt?"

"Little bastard, you are courting death!" Zhao Sihai instantly flew into a rage and glared at Qin Fei.

"Boss Zhao, don't be angry. I was just joking with you."

As soon as Qin Fei finished his words, he slapped him again and said with a smile, "Boss Zhao, it is not a big deal to make a joke. Don't you think so?"

"You!"

Zhao Sihai was so angry that he almost went crazy. He never thought that Qin Fei would be so impudent as to slap him twice in front of everyone.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the wrong, he would never let this kid go!

Seeing that Qin Fei was about to attack again, he shrunk his neck, "Kid, this matter isn't over yet. I will teach you a lesson sooner or later."

After saying those words, Zhao Sihai left the place in a sorry state.

He had never been so humiliated like today. He had been slapped twice by this kid in front of his goddess, and his face had been completely disgraced.

He swore in his heart that he would definitely beat this brat half to death when he had the chance to vent his anger today!

"Pfft! I really didn't see that you were quite sarcastic." Seeing Zhao Sihai running away in a panic, Lin Shurong could not hold it in and laughed out loud.

"To deal with this kind of beast, of course I have to use some underhanded tactics." A trace of disdain hung on the corner of Lin Fei's mouth.

Lin Shurong, however, reproached and worried, "Don't be too proud of yourself. Zhao Sihai is not an easy person to deal with. Be careful that he will secretly take revenge on you."

"What are you afraid of? As long as he dares to come, I have many ways to deal with him."

Qin Fei had this confidence. Now that he had an extraordinary ability to see through things, he naturally would not be afraid of someone like Zhao Sihai.

"It's better to be careful. Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."

Lin Shurong was happy today. This time, not only did Qin Fei help him teach Zhao Sihai a lesson, he also helped her solve the debt crisis.

Without Qin Fei's help, she would not have been able to obtain the Sarira Buddha beads and sell them for less than a million. The store would not have been able to continue circulating.

"Stop right there!"

However, just as the two were about to leave, the shop owner ran over and blocked their path. "Little brother, I'll give you the money. Leave the painting behind."

After saying that, he took out two thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Fei.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Fei did not take the money. He looked at the shop owner coldly.

"What I mean is simple. I won't sell this painting to you." The shop owner changed his expression quickly. He reached out his hand to grab the painting.

This was a two million dollar item. It was even more expensive than all the calligraphy and paintings in his shop combined!

When he thought about how this brat bought such a valuable item for two thousand dollars, he felt very unwilling. He licked his face and wanted to snatch the painting back.

"This is not up to you."

Qin Fei avoided the shop owner and said in a tough tone, "The rules of the antique world, buy it and leave! With so many witnesses, we have already completed the transaction. How can you go back on your word just because you want to?"

"That's right. When doing business, you need to be honest. How can you go back on your word so easily?"

"If it wasn't for this little brother, you wouldn't have discovered that Zhang Daqian's famous painting was hidden in the painting. You might have thrown it away as trash..."

The surrounding customers couldn't stand it and all spoke up for Qin Fei.

"Cough cough!"

Under the pressure of the crowd, the shop owner didn't dare to be too arrogant. He leaned his head over and threatened Qin Fei in a low voice, "Kid, I'll give you one hundred thousand yuan. Obediently return this ink red lotus painting to me, or else..."

"What else can I do?"

"Otherwise, I'll make you lose an arm and break a leg!" When he said this, the shop owner's eyes flashed with a trace of cold killing intent.
