After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"What did you say? These few yellowed, tattered sheets of paper are the Yongle Encyclopedia? How is that possible!"

Liu Ruyan screamed in disbelief.

She had seduced a master appraiser, thinking she could win with Tang Bohu's painting in hand.

It turned out that Tang Bohu's painting was fake, and she was taken advantage of for nothing.

Now that Ye Tian had actually found a national treasure-level original fragment of the Yongle Encyclopedia hidden among the layers of several tattered magazines, how could she not be overwhelmed?

"I have studied the Yongle Encyclopedia copies for decades, and there is absolutely no mistake!"

Moreover, this is the unanimous conclusion of our ten judges.

Upon hearing Zhang Shouren's words, Liu Ruyan's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, her mind filled with only two words: It's over.

This time, that perverted Chen Tai will definitely not let her go.

Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed through Liu Ruyan's mind!

"Boss Ye, do you know how much these fifteen fragments of the original Yongle Encyclopedia are worth?"

A few years ago, a single piece sold for 70 million at auction; these fifteen pieces are conservatively estimated to be worth at least 1 billion!

Zhang Shouren gripped Ye Tian's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Everyone in the exhibition hall gasped when they heard the price.

These few sheets of silk paper taken from the inner pocket of a vulgar beauty magazine are actually worth a billion? That's unbelievable!

At this moment, the look in their eyes towards Ye Tian no longer held any contempt; instead, it was filled with heartfelt respect.

If a Chenghua doucai chicken bowl wasn't enough to convince everyone, they are now completely in awe of Ye Tian.

In their minds, there was no need to even look at the selections of other appraisal experts; Ye Tian was already the absolute number one.

Just then, the antique dealer who delivered Ye Tian's magazine, upon hearing the price tag of one billion, sprang to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, and rushed over:

"This magazine is mine, this billion is mine!"

He was like a madman, screaming loudly.

"Boss, these magazines are the money you gave to Boss Ye for the appraisal of his calligraphy and paintings. We all heard you say that."

Do you not want to admit it now?

That's just how the game works in the antique business. If you don't have the eye to spot a priceless treasure, you can't blame anyone else.

Now that others have discovered it, you're trying to cheat and keep it for yourself.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I advise you to quit if you can't handle the game; this industry isn't for you.

Before Ye Tian could speak, the antique dealers around him began to angrily rebuke the antique shop owner on his behalf.

Indeed, no matter what industry you're in, once you succeed, great scholars will always be there to debate your doctrines!

"You make it sound so easy, everyone understands the logic, but this is a billion!"

I'm not willing to accept this enormous wealth that I might never earn in my lifetime!

This thing was made by me, and now I must keep it safe!

Greed had long since overwhelmed the antique dealer's reason, and he lunged at the yellow silk.

"Try moving it."

Ye Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura that made people dare not disobey him.

He simply raised his head and looked directly at the antique shop owner with his unusually clear eyes, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through to the heart.

"You stopped me from looking at the painting just now. Was it Chen Tai who told you to do that?"

If I can't tell the difference, and I use the painting you have to enter the competition, I'm sure to lose.

You originally wanted to harm me, but unfortunately you didn't succeed, did you?"

Ye Tian said slowly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know Chen Tai at all!"

The antique dealer's voice trembled, and the color drained from his face, making it even whiter than the white walls of the exhibition hall.

The movement of lunging towards Huang Juan froze instantly, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

"Whether I'm lying or not, you know the answer yourself."

Ye Tian twitched the corners of his mouth, his smile cold and devoid of any warmth.

"You're just doing this for money, so I can overlook it."

But these magazines were given to me to offset the appraisal fee for the calligraphy and paintings; that's what you said yourself.

Words spoken are like water spilled; once a promise is made, it cannot be taken back.

Don't try to argue with me anymore, or I might get rough with you.

The antique shop owner suddenly felt a suffocating pressure coming towards him.

His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and large beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

He looked around in horror.

Looking at the disdainful glances and contemptuous stares of those around him, and Ye Tian's all-knowing calm expression, the last shred of courage and greed in the antique shop owner's heart instantly crumbled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye... I..." His lips trembled, and he tried to say something, but he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

"This fragment of the original Yongle Encyclopedia is a historical artifact that the cultural community has been searching for."

Its historical and cultural value far exceeds its monetary value.

I plan to hand it over to the public; you've made a contribution to the cultural community.

Go away, and don't let me see you again.

The antique shop owner was overjoyed and slunk away.

For historical artifacts like the Yongle Encyclopedia, which are of great national importance and are being sought after, private transactions are too risky.

Handing it over to the public will benefit the present and benefit future generations.

Ye Tian had a clear understanding of this matter.

"Boss Ye is indeed extraordinary; he donated 1 billion without hesitation."

"You don't know anything. Just hand it over to Boss Ye of the State and you'll get a get-out-of-jail-free card."

From then on, Mr. Ye was a guest of honor at the relevant departments.

If you don't hand it over and instead trade it privately, there's a chance that the billion yuan won't even stay in your hands for long before it gets discovered. What do you think you should do?

Hearing the conversation among these antique dealers, Ye Tian smiled slightly. It seemed there were still some discerning people among them.

"Boss Ye, since you've made your decision, I'll arrange for it to be handed over."

Zhang Shouren carefully wrapped the yellow silk in acid-free paper and gave the order as if he had found a treasure.

"In the second match, Ye Tian won."

For the third event, we need some time to prepare because a mysterious treasure has appeared.

Let's take a short break.

Ye Tian arrived at the rest area and had just sat down to drink a glass of water.

A clear and pleasant sound rang out from the side.

"Ye Tian, ​​how do you know that the antique dealer was bribed by Chen Tai?"

The speaker was none other than Su Youwei, the second young lady of the Su family, who possessed outstanding temperament and a stunning figure.

She stared intently at Ye Tian, ​​as if trying to see through his heart.

She really wanted to know how Ye Tian did it, as if he could see through all other people's tricks.

"What brings you here?" Ye Tian replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

"I miss you. I can't sleep if I don't see you for a day."

I have no appetite, can't sleep, and can't drink tea.

Don't you know the saying: "A day apart feels like three autumns"?

I haven't seen you for three days, and my longing for you is like a flood, unstoppable...

Su Youwei spoke fluently and without batting an eye.

Stop, stop, stop! You're just talking nonsense.

If you're so capable, show me some real action instead of just talking big.

Ye Tianchong rolled his eyes at Su Youwei.

"Brother, what do you want me to do?"

Su Youwei's soft, delicate body clung to Ye Tian like a water snake, her large, watery eyes sparkling with alluring charm.

"You still dare to tempt me? Last time you were drunk, and I didn't want to take advantage of you. Now, I don't mind doing a live broadcast!"

Ye Tian hugged Su Youwei tightly around the waist and kissed her delicate red lips...
