The crowd of antique lovers who were watching suddenly became excited and gathered in to view this priceless treasure.
Lin Yu didn't stop everyone, he chose a position where he could protect the copybook at all times, and stepped over to stop.
I saw that the copybook in the mezzanine, although the paper was rough and yellowed, was well preserved, the handwriting was beautiful, strong, euphemistic and subtle, and the whole was peaceful and natural. It could really bear the eight characters "Floating like floating clouds, powerful like a startling dragon".
Jiang Jingren's eyes widened suddenly, and he leaned over, making a hoarse voice in his throat, "I...I'm not dreaming!"
Even Jiang Yan, who didn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, couldn't help but be attracted by the elegant words on the copybook, and read it attentively.
"Even if you die, you will have no regrets. Even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
Tang Zongyun's eyes filled with tears, and his heartfelt excitement and excitement were moving.
I'm afraid the biggest dream of any calligraphy and painting lover in the world is to see Wang Xizhi's original works like this with his own eyes.
Although it remains to be determined whether it is authentic or not, even if it is an imitation, it has already reached the point where it can be mistaken for the real thing.
Wang Xizhi's original work has long been peerless. If it is finally verified that it is really Wang Xizhi's original work, it will be a major discovery that will shake the world and the gods. Everyone present will also be a witness to history.
Lin Yu said that it was more than just an eye-opener for them!
The whole antique shop was full of excitement, but only one person looked ashen and ugly, as if he had swallowed a big mouthful of flies. He was the shop owner who just made a bet with Lin Yu.
At this time, he wanted to die. Compared with this rare treasure, the bet of half a million was nothing. You know, a few years ago, a copy of Wang Xizhi's Tang Dynasty was sold for hundreds of millions.
The price is sky-high. If this pair is authentic, its value is unimaginable.
His eyes had turned red from anger and jealousy, and the eyes he looked at Lin Yu were full of hatred. If it were not this boy, then this word still belonged to him.
Now that so many people have testified, it is useless for him to go back on his word.
"Store owner, now that the facts have been determined, can the five hundred thousand be refunded to us?" Lin Yu looked at the store owner with a smile and asked.
The shop owner turned red for a moment and was speechless. Lin Yu was trying to force him to death. Withdrawing the five hundred thousand yuan would be equivalent to giving this sky-high price treasure to Lin Yu.
"Forget Jia Rong, let's not be so rude. Let's just treat the five hundred thousand as a red envelope for the shop owner."
Jiang Jingren, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said, "Having bought such a precious treasure for 500,000 yuan, he has made a lot of money. It's too late to run away, so he can't even bother asking for money."
As he spoke, he carefully put away the words, carefully put them in his arms, and greeted Lin Yu and Jiang Yan to leave.
"Brother, I have a heartfelt request." Tang Zongyun hurriedly stopped him.
"Please speak." Jiang Jingren subconsciously tightened the copybook in his arms.
"This calligraphy is really rare in the world. It is a great blessing for me to be able to see it in my lifetime. I wonder if I can appreciate it and let me and a few friends in the antique industry go and watch it."
Tang Zongyun bowed slightly and spoke sincerely.
"Of course, of course." When Jiang Jingren heard that Tang Zongyun took the initiative to visit his home, Jiang Jingren was too happy and couldn't help but nodded.
"Thank you very much, brother. I will bring a few friends to visit you soon." Tang Zongyun's face was filled with gratitude.
When leaving the antique store, everyone was reluctant to leave and asked Jiang Jingren for his business card. Jiang Jingren smiled with wrinkles on his face. He had been in the antique world for so long, but he never thought that one day he would become a celebrity.
The owner of the antique shop kept watching them leave with an indescribable coldness in his eyes. After everyone dispersed, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, "Hey, Third Brother, do something for me. If it can be done,
From now on, the three of us brothers will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth."
"Second brother, what are your orders?" A low voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of excitement. He knew what the second brother was capable of, and it seemed that he was going to make a fortune again this time.
The owner of the antique shop told him the general story, and then said coldly, "If necessary, you can leave him alive."
"Understood! I'll leave now."
While driving, Jiang Yan glanced at Lin Yu from time to time, but hesitated to speak.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Lin Yu said leisurely while leaning on the seat.
"How do you know there is a sandwich in this word?"
"Guessed." Lin Yu looked at her with a smile.
"I don't like to talk." Jiang Yan rolled his eyes.
"Then I said I figured it out based on my true talent and learning. Do you believe it?" Lin Yu couldn't help but move his face closer to hers.
Feeling the warmth of Lin Yu's breath, Jiang Yan's face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
shy?
Are you shy? Jiang Yan's heart suddenly jumped. How could she be shy in front of this loser?
But she miraculously discovered that before she knew it, she no longer seemed to dislike this waste so much.
"I don't believe it!" She hurriedly used a cold tone to cover up her inner panic.
Lin Yu smiled, moved his head back, looked out the window on one side, and said, "Actually, I'm just more careful, and I brought a little luck. At that time, I just felt that the copybook was a little thick, and I guessed that there might be an interlayer. I didn't expect it to be true."
You've got it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly stepped on the brake, and with a squeak, he couldn't help but jump forward.
Jiang Jingren, who was intoxicated with himself while holding a copybook in the back seat, also bumped into Lin Yu's seat.
"Oh, Yan'er, what are you doing?" Jiang Jingren said, covering his head.
"This car suddenly came out." Jiang Yan also looked panicked.
Lin Yu glanced at the off-road vehicle parked diagonally in front, his expression changed slightly, "Quick, fall back."
Seeing that Jiang Yan was still in a daze, Lin Yu shifted the gear lever to reverse and said in a deep voice again: "Reverse!"
Jiang Yan subconsciously stepped on the accelerator and fell back, but at this moment a van suddenly appeared from behind and blocked their retreat.
This is a two-lane road, and when these two cars cut into it diagonally, Jiang Yan's car was caught in the middle and couldn't get in or out.
At this time, a total of seven or eight people got out of the van and off-road vehicle, all holding iron bars or machetes in their hands. One of them, a leader with a scarred head, came over and shined an iron bar at the front of Jiang Yan's car, then raised his hand and walked into the car.
Pointing his finger, he shouted, "Get off the car!"
Jiang Yan and Jiang Jingren were so frightened by this scene that their expressions changed instantly. One of them, a father and daughter, is a government cadre, and the other is a good girl. How had they ever seen such a posture before?
They never imagined that this kind of situation that only appeared on TV would happen to them, so they were frightened and confused.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Yu looked calm, "Dad, give me the calligraphy. They came here for this calligraphy."
"No, even if you kill me, I can't hand over the words!" Jiang Jingren hugged the copybook tightly, as if he wanted the words at the expense of his life.
"Dad, what time is it? Give them the copybook first. We'll call the police later and we can get it back." Jiang Yan hurriedly advised her. She also saw that this group of people was coming with a lot of force. Why don't you hand over the copybook today?
, it may be more dangerous than good. In the face of such huge interests, this group of people may do anything.
"It's okay, Dad, just give me the word and I'll make sure it's unharmed." Lin Yu said firmly.
Under Jiang Yan's persuasion, Jiang Jingren hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly handed the copybook to Lin Yu.
Then Lin Yu got out of the car with the copybook, and Jiang Yan and Jiang Jingren also followed.
The moment they saw Jiang Yan, Scarface and the other gangsters' eyes suddenly lit up, their eyes instantly ignited with excitement, and they greedily scanned Jiang Yan's perfect figure back and forth.
"Beauty, hello." Scarface smiled, showing his big yellow teeth.
Jiang Yan subconsciously hid behind Lin Yu. Only then did she realize that compared with these gangsters, Lin Yu was quite good.
"You want this copybook, right?" Lin Yu said with a smile, then took the copybook out of the brocade box and showed it to Scarface.
When Scarface saw that it was indeed the copybook that his second brother mentioned, his face instantly darkened, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here, we want the words at the expense of our lives, hand it over, and I will let you go right now."
"I can't give it to you so easily. I spent a lot of money to buy this calligraphy." Lin Yu said.
"Fuck, are you asking me for money? I think you are tired of living. Do you know how many lives I am carrying?" Scarface said harshly.
His words were indeed not exaggerated. He had been a local gangster for more than ten years and had been in jail. Now he is the owner of a nightclub and is quite famous in this area.
Of course, this was all taken care of by his eldest brother, who was the captain of the detective in the police station. Together with the owner of the antique shop, the three of them were brothers.
Since the second brother told him that this calligraphy was worth a sky-high price, it must be true. Even if he killed Lin Yu and the three of them today, he must get this calligraphy.
"He Jiarong, give him the word quickly." Jiang Yan looked at the gangsters surrounding her and clenched her hands tightly.
"Well, I can give you this calligraphy, but you have to let my dad and my wife leave first." Lin Yu thought for a moment and said.
"What do you mean? Aren't you leaving?" Jiang Yan said in surprise.
"I'll stay and talk to them about the terms. Maybe they'll figure it out and won't ask me for words." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll let them go first, but if you break your promise, I'll kill you!" Scar looked fierce. Although he was very interested in Jiang Yan, this picture was more important now, so he agreed.
Lin Yu's request.
Then he waved his hand, and someone immediately drove the off-road vehicle away and out of the way.
"He Jiarong, do you want your life?" Jiang Yan said anxiously.
"It's okay. You and dad leave first. I'll be back in a while." Lin Yu smiled brightly at her. This seemed to be the first time in a long time that she cared about herself.
"No, give them the words, and you come home with us." Jiang Yan grabbed his wrist and said in a voice that could not be refused.
Looking at her frowning eyebrows, Lin Yu actually thought she was a little cute. Is her life really more important to her than this priceless treasure?
Oh, I forgot, she is a doctor, and human life is more important than anything else in her eyes. Maybe she would do this to anyone else.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in his heart. He took Jiang Yan's hand away, looked at her and said softly, "Trust me."
Jiang Yan was shocked, remembering that Lin Yu said the same words to the little girl when he was treating her in the hospital, with the same firm look in his eyes.
A look she couldn't refuse.
But for some reason, she always had a strange feeling. She felt that this look did not come from He Jiarong, but from another person.
