Ye Feng placed two large bowls on the table after speaking.
These two large bowls were identical to Qin Hao's, with no difference in size, pattern, or luster.
Upon closer inspection, one might notice that the color of Ye Feng's two large bowls was even better and more beautiful than Qin Hao's.
This scene stunned everyone. Their gazes darted back and forth between the three large bowls, their faces filled with disbelief.
"No, no way! So many?"
"Are Ming Xuande period blue and white lotus large bowls like common cabbage? Three of them appearing at once?"
"This, this would be too incredible if it's real! After all, it's rare to see even one, let alone three!"
The crowd discussed animatedly as they looked at the three large bowls.
Even the former mayor was rendered speechless by the shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
"No, impossible! How could you also have a Ming Xuande period blue and white lotus large bowl?" Qin Hao exclaimed, both shocked and furious upon seeing the two large bowls Ye Feng produced.
Hearing this, Ye Feng sneered, "If you, Qin Hao, can have one, why can't I, Ye Feng?"
"Impossible? Absolutely impossible, you, these two blue and white lotus large bowls of yours must be fake!" Qin Hao declared loudly.
He had spent eight million eight hundred eighty thousand yuan on his blue and white lotus large bowl. At the time, the Jubao Pavilion had stated it was the only one.
He simply couldn't believe that Ye Feng had produced two at once. If they weren't fake, he wouldn't believe it.
"Fake? Just because you say it's fake, it's fake? I say yours is fake too!" Ye Feng retorted with a cold laugh.
At this moment, Qin Hao's father, Qin Cang, interjected, "Is Director Zhang in the antique business? If he takes a look, we'll know if it's real or fake, won't we?"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhang, please come and authenticate it, and expose this liar! He actually wants to use fakes to deceive the former mayor!" Qin Hao said indignantly.
Director Zhang, whom Qin Cang mentioned, was Zhang Tao, one of the influential figures from the third floor. He was in the antique business and had a very large operation with stores throughout the entire southeast region.
He was once a renowned antique appraisal master, but after gaining capital, he started his own business, which grew larger and larger, and he no longer worked as an appraisal master.
However, his appraisal skills were well-known and highly regarded in the antique world, which was why Qin Cang suggested he appraise them.
"Alright!"
Zhang Tao responded without hesitation.
When he had seen the three large bowls earlier, he had been captivated and had long wanted to touch them.
However, since the former mayor and the others hadn't spoken, he hadn't said anything.
Thus, Zhang Tao picked up the bowls from both sides and began to examine them slowly, his gaze more focused than ever, revealing his immense love for antiques.
After carefully examining Qin Hao's blue and white lotus large bowl, he showed a hint of regret, which puzzled everyone.
Seeing this, Qin Hao hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhang, how is it?"
Zhang Tao glanced at Qin Hao and said, "Your blue and white lotus large bowl is real!"
"Haha! Did you hear that? Mine is real! Kneel and apologize, call me grandpa!" Qin Hao looked down at Ye Feng with an arrogant demeanor.
Before, he hadn't known that Ye Feng was the former mayor's savior and had been outmaneuvered by Ye Feng. At this moment, he finally felt a sense of triumph.
However, Ye Feng remained unfazed, calmly saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Director Zhang hasn't finished speaking!"
Qin Hao was taken aback and asked, "What hasn't he finished?"
At this moment, Zhang Tao's gaze flickered between Ye Feng and Qin Cang, and he hesitated for a moment.
But he quickly strengthened his resolve and continued, "Although Qin Hao's bowl is real, it has a small chip, which greatly reduces its value. It's only worth around eight million yuan!"
"Only worth eight million yuan? Didn't someone say it was over twenty million yuan before? Could it be..." Ye Feng trailed off, casting a meaningful smile at Qin Hao.
This left Qin Hao speechless, his entire face flushing red like a monkey's backside.
"I, I was probably deceived!" Qin Hao said, his eyes darting away.
In fact, even if Zhang Tao hadn't intervened, the former mayor, as a seasoned antique enthusiast, could tell the value of Qin Hao's blue and white lotus large bowl, but he simply hadn't exposed Qin Hao.
"Deceived? Heh, I don't think so!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
Being spoken to like this by Ye Feng, Qin Hao felt his face was completely lost and angrily retorted, "But that's still much better than you trying to fool the former mayor with two fakes!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng sneered, "Who said mine are fake?"
"Hmph, you're just being stubborn! How rare and precious are Ming Xuande period blue and white lotus large bowls? It's no wonder yours are fake if you can just produce two out of nowhere!" Qin Hao scoffed.
His blue and white lotus large bowl was purchased from the Jubao Pavilion, which had an excellent reputation and credibility, so it definitely wasn't fake.
He absolutely did not believe that Ye Feng's broken bowls, obtained from who-knows-where, were real.
However, the tables turned as suddenly as his words finished. Just as he spoke, Zhang Tao put down Ye Feng's two large bowls and spoke.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Divine Doctor Ye Feng's two large bowls are also real, and they are perfect, truly the cream of the crop. They are even more perfect than the one at the Kyoto auction in 2015! Each is worth at least twenty million yuan or more!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
"What? More perfect than the one in Kyoto in 2015?"
"Each worth over twenty million yuan? Gulp, my heavens! This, this is too incredible!"
"What's going on today? Are we dreaming! Three real blue and white lotus large bowls have appeared at once, and all of them are real?"
The crowd even began to doubt if they were dreaming or hallucinating.
This was because such incredibly precious antiques were rarely seen. In the past, one couldn't even catch a glimpse of one after racking their brains, yet today they saw three gathered together.
"No, impossible, I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it! Zhang Tao, you scoundrel, you must be showing favoritism, right?" Qin Hao roared like a madman, even calling Zhang Tao by his name.
Hearing this, Zhang Tao frowned and retorted angrily, "Young man, do you dare to take responsibility for your words? When has Zhang Tao ever shown favoritism in appraisal? I am merely speaking the truth!"
At this moment, Qin Cang quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Zhang, please don't be angry. This unfilial son is just having trouble accepting the outcome and spoke carelessly. I hope you won't be angry!"
"Hmph! For Brother Qin's sake, I won't pursue it!" Zhang Tao glanced at Qin Hao and said sternly.
"Damn it, I don't believe it, you scoundrels, you must have colluded..." Qin Hao had lost his mind in his rage, pointing at the former mayor, Zhang Tao, and Ye Feng, about to curse them.
"You disgrace to the family, shut your mouth and go home!" Qin Cang, seeing this, quickly slapped him across the face!
"Everyone, it is my fault for not teaching him properly, causing everyone to laugh! I will take him home now to avoid disturbing everyone's enjoyment!"
With that, Qin Cang, with a dark expression, prepared to drag Qin Hao away.
However, at this moment, Ye Feng spoke up, "Wait a moment. Before you leave, shouldn't you first fulfill the bet we just made..."
