Chapter 414: Domineering response, not accepting moral kidnapping!

At this moment, a staff member quickly walked up to Director Luo and whispered a few words.

Director Luo nodded slightly, and the staff left. Director Luo looked at Gao Dongxu and Huang Yanyan and said with a smile, "Xiao Gao, today's press conference has really touched the hearts of many people. I have to excuse myself for a moment. I have a few guests to greet."

"You go and do your thing, don't worry about me." Gao Dongxu said with a noncommittal smile.

"Then you guys find a place to rest for a while, we'll talk later." Director Luo nodded with a smile, then smiled and nodded at Huang Yanyan, then quickly walked towards the entrance of the press conference.

Huang Yanyan stood beside Gao Dongxu, gazing at him tenderly, her eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness. She whispered, "Thank you, dear. Without you, the Huang family might not have survived this."

Her voice was soft but full of affection, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Gao Dongxu turned his head, met her gaze, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Silly girl, this is what I should do. The Huang family is your home. What you cherish is also what I should protect. I will not let anyone destroy it easily."

His voice was low and powerful, as if he was making a promise to her and declaring his position to Huang Yanyan.

Hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Huang Yanyan immediately smiled like a flower, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she said in a soft voice with charming eyes, "By the way, when I left this morning, Grandpa asked me to call you back for lunch at noon."

"Eating is easy, but I need to take a nap after lunch--" Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.

Huang Yanyan rolled her eyes coquettishly, her fiery red lips unable to suppress a smile as she whispered coquettishly, "You only know how to bully me..."

Just as the two of them found a corner to sit down and flirt, Director Luo, who had left, came in with two white-haired old men who were being supported by others.

The appearance of the two elderly men caused the appraisal experts who were surrounding the two national treasures to stop appreciating them immediately, greeted the two elderly men warmly and respectfully, and also gave up their seats to the two elderly men.

"Master Xu and Master Fu--" When Huang Yanyan saw the two old men stand up immediately, she cried out in awe.

To be honest, Gao Dongxu doesn't know many people in the Chinese antique world, and these two are obviously very powerful figures.

Huang Yanyan seemed to see Gao Dongxu's confusion and hurriedly introduced them, "These two are absolutely the leading experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal in the Chinese antique world... However, I heard that both masters are not in good health. I didn't expect that they would be alarmed today."

Gao Dongxu smiled noncommittally, and said with great joy: "Hello, Master. The more powerful you are, the happier I am."

About half an hour later, the appraisal experts had completed the appraisal of "The Immortal Scroll" and "Zhao Yebai".

They were all excited, their faces filled with disbelief and shock. One of them, Master Xu, spoke in a trembling voice, "These two paintings... are truly authentic! Whether it's the brushwork, the ink, or the age of the paper, they all perfectly align with historical records! They're truly national treasures!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Seeing this, Director Luo smiled with satisfaction. He hurried over to chat with Master Xu and Master Fu for a few words, and after arranging for them to take a seat, he turned back to find Gao Dongxu.

"Xiao Gao, the two masters want to see you."

Gao Dongxu looked at Director Luo and said with a smile, "Let's forget it. The two masters are so old. If I say something wrong and something bad happens out of anger, I will be guilty of a great sin."

"Haha, it's not that serious..."

Gao Dongxu stood up with a sneer, looked at Director Luo and said, "Sorry, Director Luo, I'm not interested in meeting the two masters. Don't make things difficult for me." "Okay--" Director Luo laughed dryly with some disappointment.

As time passed, the time for the press conference arrived. Director Luo cleared his throat, walked to the front of the stage, and announced the official start of the press conference.

Inside the venue, media reporters had already set up their cameras, antique collectors, appraisal experts and scholars had also taken their seats, and even the directors and expert consultants of major museums in the Beijing and Tianjin areas were all present.

This press conference has become a grand event in the antique world.

Director Luo stood at the microphone and began with a serious expression: "Dear friends from the media, dear colleagues, today's press conference is to clarify the various rumors and misunderstandings that have recently arisen in society regarding Mr. Xu Yicheng. Our Cultural Heritage Bureau has always upheld the principles of fairness and openness. We hope that through today's press conference, we can set the record straight and restore the truth."

He briefly explained the background and purpose of the press conference, then handed the microphone to Gao Dongxu. Gao Dongxu calmly walked onto the stage, his gaze sweeping across the audience before he slowly began, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I'd like to share a long-forgotten story: the story of Mr. Xu Yicheng."

His voice was low and magnetic, as if it carried a kind of magic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

He once again recounted in detail how Xu Yicheng dealt with the Japanese invaders. In order to protect 128 national treasures coveted by the Japanese invaders, he risked his life and took counterfeiting experts to create 128 counterfeits that were so realistic that they successfully deceived the Japanese invaders.

However, due to the betrayal of a traitor, Xu Yicheng refused to defend himself and chose to die unjustly under the stigma of being a "traitor". Gao Dongxu's narration was full of emotion, as if it brought everyone back to that war-torn era, and it was moving.

"Today, I stand here to clear Mr. Xu Yicheng's name. He is not a traitor, but a true hero, a hero who is willing to sacrifice his reputation and life to protect national treasures!" Gao Dongxu's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, the venue erupted in applause. Many people even had tears in their eyes, as if they were deeply moved by Xu Yicheng's story.

However, once the question-and-answer session began, the atmosphere gradually became tense. The initial questions revolved around Xu Yicheng's story, but when the press conference displayed three rare treasures—the Lotus Statue, the "Immortal Scroll," and the "Zhao Yebai"—to prove Gao Dongxu's claims, some reporters' questions became more pointed.

"Mr. Gao, have you ever considered donating these three national treasures in your hands to the country? After all, they belong to the common wealth of all the people." A reporter asked aggressively.

Gao Dongxu sneered upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping across the reporter like a knife, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "My dear reporter friend, I'd like to ask, are you willing to donate your house, car, and even your salary to the country? After all, according to your logic, these are also the common wealth of all the people."

The reporter was speechless and his face flushed red. Gao Dongxu did not give up. He continued, "The value of national treasures lies not only in their material properties, but also in the culture and history they carry.

As their guardian, I have a responsibility to ensure they receive the best possible protection and display. As for whether to donate them, that's my right, not my obligation. I won't accept any form of moral coercion.

Morality is for self-discipline, not for kidnapping others. Some people, in their peaceful days, talk about morality and justice, but they may not be able to stand the test at critical moments. I will not compromise myself to cater to your views. . . .

As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur erupted in the conference hall. Some nodded in agreement, while others looked displeased. The reporter who had asked the question was so angry that his face flushed and he gritted his teeth, but he had no way to refute it.

But no matter what, Gao Dongxu's words undoubtedly made everyone realize that he was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

Huang Yanyan stood aside, watching Gao Dongxu calmly deal with the reporters, feeling both proud and moved.

However, they were also worried that Gao Dongxu would offend these reporters and cause trouble. After all, these reporters can indeed guide public opinion to a certain extent.

However, Gao Dongxu was not afraid at all. Not to mention whether the Cultural Heritage Bureau would agree to media reports to discredit Gao Dongxu, even if Director Luo acquiesced and intended to force him, he was not afraid and did not care. He had enough ways and means to fight back and retaliate.

That’s right, it’s counterattack and revenge!

After all, Gao Dongxu is not a good man. Since someone wants to make trouble, he doesn't mind teaching them a lesson!
