When they heard that the blue and white porcelain Chen Bin bought back from overseas for thirty million was worth a hundred million, the crowd was in an uproar.

”Fourth Master truly deserves his reputation, simply amazing.”

”Fourth Master’s eye for treasures is indeed sharp, picking up such a big bargain.”

”Fourth Master is mighty, worthy of being the number one treasure appraiser on Taobao Street.”

Ye Chen looked at the blue and white porcelain on the table, and its information appeared before his eyes.

Imitation blue and white porcelain, production date, 1970s, by forgery master Yu Cheng, with his name engraved on the inner wall, value 18 thousand.

Listening to the praises, Ye Chen sneered, ”Idiots.”

His ridicule was piercing amidst the avalanche of compliments.

All eyes turned toward Ye Chen.

Chen Bin frowned as he looked at Ye Chen, ”Kid, what do you mean?”

Ye Chen replied calmly, ”Bought a forgery, yet treating it like a treasure, am I wrong to call you an idiot?”

”What did you say?” Chen Bin’s face darkened.

On Taobao Street, as the top treasure appraiser, he’s an authority.

When he claims something is genuine, no one dares to say otherwise.

And today, Ye Chen was questioning the item he brought back from overseas.

A few antique enthusiasts pointed at Ye Chen, mocking, ”Where did this kid come from, truly unaware of his limits.”

”Fourth Master never misjudges when appraising treasures; how could it be fake?”

”I think this kid is just trying to be sensational.”

Chen Bin glared coldly at Ye Chen, ”Are you saying my blue and white porcelain is fake?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”That’s right, just an imitation, bought for thirty million but worth a little over ten thousand, and you’re showing it off here. If that’s not idiocy, what is?”

”Hmph, I’ve never misjudged treasure appraisal; you better be responsible for what you say.”

Looking at Chen Bin’s pretentious demeanor, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

”You’ve never misjudged? Did you appraise a Bloodstone today?”

Chen Bin paused, ”So what if I did?”

Ye Chen replied coldly, ”That Bloodstone is a fake, yet you appraised it at two hundred thousand. I really wonder, where do you get the Courage to say you’ve never misjudged?”

”What?” Ye Chen’s words immediately caused an uproar.

Several bosses from Treasure House quickly testified.

”That’s indeed the case; those two fraudsters have been arrested by the police.”

”That’s right; we saw it ourselves, that Bloodstone is indeed fake.”

Chen Bin glared coldly at Ye Chen, ”Kid, are you here to cause trouble?”

Ye Chen sneered, ”Cause trouble? You’re overthinking it. I’m just stating facts, and I can responsibly tell you, your blue and white porcelain is also fake.”

”Looks like this young man is going to fight Fourth Master to the end.”

”Daring to challenge Fourth Master, this kid must have a death wish.”

”Fourth Master is a porcelain expert; even if stones can be misjudged, porcelain cannot.”

”This kid won’t shed a tear until he sees his own coffin; this blue and white porcelain has been appraised by Master Luo, how could it be fake?”

Chen Bin glared at Ye Chen with a chilling gaze, ”Alright, since you say my blue and white porcelain is fake, what’s your evidence? If you can’t account for it, don’t blame me, Fourth Master, for turning ruthless.”

By this time, two attendants were already standing by Ye Chen to prevent him from escaping.

Ye Chen sneered, walking over to the blue and white porcelain bottle, and said, ”If it’s fake, what will you do with it?”

Chen Bin snorted, ”I, Chen the fourth, never keep fakes; if it’s fake, naturally I’ll smash it, and I’ll compensate you one million.”

Ye Chen nodded, ”Alright.”

Chen Bin snorted, ”And what if this blue and white porcelain is genuine?”

”Whatever you decide!” Ye Chen replied indifferently.

Chen Bin nodded, ”Kid, you said it, don’t regret it; I’ll break your limbs as a warning.”

The crowd gasped in surprise, looking at Ye Chen with pity.

When Fourth Master Chen says something on Taobao Street, he follows through; if it’s confirmed the blue and white porcelain is genuine, Ye Chen is doomed.

Ye Chen nodded and walked over to the blue and white porcelain.

All eyes were on Ye Chen, curious about how he would prove the authenticity of the blue and white porcelain.

Ye Chen picked up the blue and white porcelain, and to everyone’s disbelief, he smashed it directly on the ground.

Bam!

The blue and white porcelain shattered instantly as it hit the ground.

The scene was dead silent.

This blue and white porcelain worth thirty million was directly smashed by Ye Chen!

Everyone was stunned.

Even Chen Bin was dumbfounded.

”You... you dare to smash my blue and white porcelain?” Chen Bin was nearly driven mad with anger.

”This kid must be crazy, smashing a thirty million blue and white porcelain just like that.”

”I think this kid is asking for death; after smashing this blue and white porcelain, Fourth Master won’t let him off.”

”This kid’s clothes are all from the roadside stall; selling him wouldn’t cover the price of this blue and white porcelain, would it?”

People were looking at Ye Chen almost as if staring at a dead man.

Smashing Fourth Master’s blue and white porcelain, Ye Chen is doomed.

Yet Ye Chen was unhurried, slowly walked to the fragments of the blue and white porcelain, and squatted down.

”What’s this kid doing? Is he planning to piece together the fragments?”

”This kid must be a lunatic!”

”This kid will surely die miserably soon.”

Chen Bin said coldly with a grim face, ”Kid, if you don’t give me an explanation today, you can’t leave.”

Ye Chen rummaged through the pieces for a while and smiled lightly, ”Found it.”

Then, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ye Chen picked up a fragment.

Yu Cheng, I believe everyone recognizes this name, right?

”Forging master Yu Cheng?”

The name startled everyone.

In the antique world, everyone knows Yu Cheng, the forgery master, whose skills in falsification are almost indistinguishable by gods and ghosts.

Could it be this blue and white porcelain is Yu Cheng’s work?

Ye Chen held the fragment, ”Everyone should know, Yu Cheng had a hobby of writing his name on the inner wall of ceramics, please take a look.”

The crowd looked at the blue and white porcelain, gasping in shock.

On the fragment, the name Yu Cheng was indeed inscribed.

With pottery engraved as evidence, the crowd understood without words, the blue and white porcelain was fake.

”No, impossible?” Chen Bin’s face turned pale, as he took the fragment from Ye Chen’s hand.

Seeing the name there, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Despite the effort and expense of buying it from abroad for thirty million, the porcelain turned out to be a fake.

Dammit!

Chen Bin stared at Ye Chen with venomous intent.

If it wasn’t for this kid, even if the blue and white porcelain was fake no one would have known.

But now Ye Chen smashed it and proved it’s fake, he’s really lost both the money and his reputation this time.

Ye Chen patted Chen Bin’s shoulder, ”Next time be more careful, don’t let people swindle you while counting their money.”

Chen Bin, who was influential on Taobao Street, had never suffered such humiliation over the years.

He trembled in anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
