"Mr. Dongye? What on earth is going on?!"
"If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, don't blame us for being rude!"
For a moment, all eyes turned to Dongye Taro.
Some even wore unfriendly expressions.
They already harbored animosity towards the Japanese people, and now they were being deceived with fakes. How could these people tolerate it?
Sensing the angry gazes around him, Dongye Taro felt a bit flustered.
He quickly explained, "Someone must have stolen my cultural relics. I had no idea about this matter; I am also a victim."
"Nonsense!" a seemingly refined middle-aged man cursed.
"Damn it, are you saying over ten thousand cultural relics were all stolen? Do you think I'm an idiot?!"
Faced with the accusations, cold sweat beaded on Dongye Taro's forehead.
Chen Mo spoke again, "Mr. Dongye, some time ago, a Japanese person tried to sell a batch of fakes to Mr. Wang. The method of forgery was exactly the same as yours. I presume the boss behind those fakes was you?"
"Moreover, you hired assassins to kill me, probably because you were afraid I would expose your trick in public."
As these words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
Even Mr. Wang and Meng Zhuqing looked at Chen Mo with shock.
This was the first time they had heard that Chen Mo had been targeted by assassins.
"Mr. Chen, is what you're saying true?" Mr. Wang asked urgently.
Chen Mo nodded, "They hired an assassin organization called 'Wild Wolf' and sent four assassins."
"What?!"
"These beasts!"
Mr. Wang glared furiously at Dongye Taro.
How could Dongye Taro admit to anything?
"I don't understand what you're talking about. As I said, I am also a victim. I am going to report this to the police now and ask them to help me recover my lost cultural relics!"
"My things were lost here, which shows that the character and quality of your people are very low!"
"You scoundrel, how dare you insult our quality! Beat him! Beat him to death!" Suddenly, someone from the crowd shouted.
Instantly, the exhibition hall descended into chaos.
Countless people surged towards Dongye Taro and the Japanese bodyguards.
"Baka, protect me, quick, protect me!" Dongye Taro panicked and shouted to those around him.
However, the Japanese bodyguards were not foolish.
Seeing the crowd approaching, they turned and fled in another direction.
Following this, Dongye Taro was completely engulfed by the surging crowd.
Screams echoed, even his mother tongue could be heard.
Unfortunately, the bodyguards ran too fast, and no one came to rescue Dongye Taro.
Seeing this, a smile played on Chen Mo's lips.
"Mr. Wang, these Japanese are truly detestable, daring to deceive us with these fakes." Qiu Wanliang, who had gotten up from the ground, returned to Mr. Wang's side.
Mr. Wang glanced at Qiu Wanliang but paid him no heed.
Chen Mo, however, suddenly spoke, "Professor Qiu, didn't you say earlier that there were no fakes here?"
"It seems your relationship with these Japanese is unusual."
Qiu Wanliang's eyes widened, "Don't spout nonsense! I have nothing to do with them!"
"Is that so? Then why did this gentleman say that he slept with your wife, and you bankrupted him with fakes?" Chen Mo retorted.
"He, he's just talking nonsense," Qiu Wanliang replied in exasperation.
Mr. Wang said coldly, "Nonsense? I don't think so. Professor Qiu, he said before that the porcelain you sold him was like this. Moreover, who knew that the porcelain here was fake before? Except for those who had been deceived before!"
Qiu Wanliang's mouth hung open in shock. He realized that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name!
"Mr. Wang, listen to my explanation!" Qiu Wanliang still wanted to say something.
But Mr. Wang interrupted him, "No need to explain. Our relationship ends here. You should go back and control your wife. Also, remember to donate the antique worth one hundred million to the country, otherwise, I will show you the consequences of being a dog for those beasts!"
"Thump!"
Qiu Wanliang's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground. His face looked as if he had eaten over ten pounds of dead rats!
In their line of work, reputation was everything.
Today, Qiu Wanliang's reputation, painstakingly built over half a lifetime, was completely ruined.
"Mr. Chen, I was willful before. Here, I apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness." Mr. Wang bowed deeply to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo reached out to steady him.
"Mr. Wang, what are you saying? Wasn't I just invited by you to appraise? Besides, it's a good deed to prevent our countrymen from being deceived."
Although Chen Mo said this, Mr. Wang's heart was still filled with guilt.
If it weren't for Chen Mo, how many people would have lost everything to these Japanese today?
"Since everything here is fake, Mr. Wang, there's no need for us to stay any longer." As he spoke, Chen Mo glanced at the crowd.
The screams from Dongye Taro had long since ceased.
Even if he miraculously survived, he would likely be crippled for life.
"Alright, let's leave now." Mr. Wang nodded and left the exhibition center with Chen Mo.
The incident at the exhibition center that day quickly became a trending topic.
The title of the trending topic made Qiu Wanliang completely go viral.
'Famous appraisal expert is cuckolded, implicates a Japanese forgery group in revenge!'
To express his gratitude, Mr. Wang specially invited Chen Mo and Meng Zhuqing for lunch.
The three arrived at a well-known Chinese restaurant and were seated in a private room.
About half an hour later, as the three were eating, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Mr. Wang's assistant entered, holding a wooden box, and respectfully handed it to Mr. Wang.
Chen Mo and Meng Zhuqing looked puzzled.
At this moment, Mr. Wang placed the wooden box in front of Chen Mo.
"Mr. Chen, this is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it."
Chen Mo was taken aback, "Mr. Wang, you should still call me 'young man.' 'Mister' sounds strange, and I didn't really do much today to deserve such a reward."
"Hahaha."
"Alright, I'll call you 'young man' from now on. Open this first, and then tell me whether you want it or not."
Mr. Wang said mysteriously.
Chen Mo curiously opened the wooden box in front of him.
Immediately, a rich medicinal aroma wafted towards him.
"This, this is Nine Spirit Flower!"
"And Divine Pattern Ganoderma, Heavenly Profound Grass!"
Chen Mo was shocked. Weren't these the other medicinal ingredients he had seen at Mr. Wang's house last time?!
"Mr. Wang, what is this?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.
