Chapter 1367: The End of the Bet
As the old man knocked the ground heavily with his cane, the security guard behind him immediately stepped forward and opened the second safe.
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, feeling that the other party seemed to be playing a game. He would have to waste more time here.
However, because of this, the old man's abnormal reaction made Luo Feng feel that this matter seemed a little weird.
For example, the things that this old man carries are very valuable, and he only has a few bodyguards around him.
If the purpose was to transfer these materials, they would definitely not act this way.
If it wasn't for the purpose of transferring supplies, then it wouldn't be consistent with the old man's initial explanation.
All we can say is that there is something else behind this matter.
Perhaps this old man wanted to test Luo Feng's strength and see what kind of ability he had. This was also a possibility.
Thinking of this, Luo Feng's interest became even stronger.
The moment the lid of the box is opened, the soft light reflects the warm luster of seven pearls.
Round, teardrop-shaped, Baroque-shaped, and of varying sizes, all glow with iridescent halos.
When the onlookers saw all this, their eyes widened. Everyone wanted to drop their eyes on the pearls, they were so beautiful.
"I have never seen such beautiful pearls."
"I really want to touch it. It must feel great."
"Don't think about it or look at it. These are not things we can afford. I think they are specially provided for rich people."
Not only the passers-by, but also the little ones around Luo Feng were attracted by these pearls.
They had never seen anything that emitted such natural light. It was much stronger than those man-made things.
Even Luo Feng himself couldn't help but shook his head.
"It's so beautiful that I can't help but want to take a few more glances."
The old man was very satisfied with this phenomenon. He planned that when the box was opened, everyone must do according to his ideas.
This is in line with expectations, otherwise the sense of emotional value will be lost.
Someone in the crowd whispered.
"South Sea white pearls?"
The old man shook his head and tapped the gold-plated label on the bottom of the box with his fingertips.
"All Akoya, but..."
He looked at Luo Feng meaningfully, smiled playfully and said, "Three of them are genuine, and the remaining four are dyed imitations."
"Mr. Luo, you need to pick out the real authentic one within three minutes. This is going to depend on your ability."
This is the real test for Luo Feng, but it must be said that using this method can easily make Luo Feng's mind extremely confused.
These characters are too similar, especially the color, which makes it easier for people to see the clues.
What's more, Akoya pearls refer specifically to the blue-gray Akoya pearls produced in the waters of Japan.
Because its color is as clear as "the sky after the rain", and it must undergo strict testing of the pearl layer thickness and glossiness to obtain this title, there are many dyed imitations on the market, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.
If the pearl just now was relatively easy, then this one is very difficult.
Looking at Luo Feng's solemn expression, the old man couldn't help but smile.
"If you really don't have the confidence, don't gamble. If you lose, it will be embarrassing, which will be bad."
"According to the rules, this crown belongs to me, and your niece will never be able to get it." The old man said this with a hint of threatening Luo Feng.
However, since he already knew that Luo Feng brought his niece with him, it meant that he had investigated Luo Feng and knew some things.
It seems that someone is really observing Luo Feng.
Luo Feng leaned in to observe, his fingertips hovering above the pearls, and suddenly noticed that the luster of a teardrop-shaped pearl in the lower left corner was a little strange.
The color layer of the dyed beads floats on the surface and appears slightly "plastic" under the light.
The gray color of Zhenduoma shines from the inside out, accompanied by the unique "iridescent halo" of pearls, just like porcelain glaze soaked in moonlight.
"The blue-grey color is really not a rigid color."
Luo Feng suddenly squatted down so that Tuantuan could also see the pearls in the box clearly.
The little girl was holding a crystal butterfly necklace and came over with sparkling eyes.
"Look at this one. It has a light pink-purple hue under the light, just like the gradient color on your drawing paper. It can't be dyed."
He ran his fingertips across the three pearls, and the touch of his fingertips was slightly different.
The genuine product has a thicker pearl layer and feels slightly astringent when rubbed, while the surface of the imitation product is too smooth.
"These three."
Luo Feng gently pushed the pearl in front of the old man with a firm tone.
"Are you sure?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, I won't regret the decision I made." Luo Feng said confidently.
Jacob picked up the magnifying glass and observed them one by one. The look behind the lens changed from surprise to appreciation, especially when he saw the third baroque shaped bead, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
This pearl is irregular in shape, but has top-notch "mirror luster".
Along with the thickness of the pearl layer, after testing, it is a faint six millimeters, which is the best of the best among the real hemp.
"I didn't expect you to guess it right."
The old man seemed surprised that he could guess the gift under such circumstances. It was not easy, and Luo Feng had only spent a few minutes observing until now.
"It is indeed extraordinary that you were able to find the location of the genuine product in such a short time. It seems that I really underestimated you."
He couldn't help but sigh, as if he had already foreseen the ending. He estimated that Luo Feng could also guess the outcome of the remaining box.
This at least proves one thing, that the person he admires is not wrong, Luo Feng is indeed a capable person, and he will implement his ideas next.
After all, for him, the reason he contacted Luo Feng this time was to see what he was capable of. If Luo Feng was really capable, he would choose to cooperate with him to turn the Free Vehicle Park upside down.
Many people who knew the inside story knew that Luo Feng had done it, and the news had already leaked out, including Zhao Mingkun and several other people who had come to see Feng. They all knew exactly what had happened.
This is no secret in high society.
The audience around him applauded one after another, admiring Luo Feng's feeling sincerely.
It’s like you got first place in the whole city without any effort.
To be honest, there was one thing that he really couldn't understand.
Since Luo Feng is so capable, why did he come to Iron Tower City? What is his purpose in coming to Iron Tower City?
This question was not only on the mind of the old man, but also on the minds of other people.
The manager of the department store couldn't help but look at Luo Feng.
"This is the level of the rich. It's true that people of their level can't get rid of it."
"Isn't there another one? Go on."
"Interesting." The old man knocked on the third safe. The box was heavier than the previous two, and it took two security personnel to open it.
Inside the box lies a half-human-high jade sculpture, with intricate twined twig patterns carved on the white jade base.
"This thing seems to be..." Someone seemed to recognize what it was and couldn't help asking.
The main body is a statue of Guanyin holding a lotus, with smooth folds in her clothes and a compassionate face, but the mysteries are hidden in the details.
There is a faint crack on the lotus petal of Guanyin's left hand.
"This is a Ming Dynasty Hetian jade seed material carving,"
Jacob said calmly: “But what I want you to find is not authenticity, but a real thing.”
He suddenly took out an old yellowed photo and smiled playfully.
"When it was stolen 20 years ago, the criminals cut it with a knife and left a hidden wound. Now you have to tell me where the wound is hidden."
"This is too difficult!"
Everyone around couldn't help but start speaking for Luo Feng.
After all, this is really too difficult. Who could have thought of where the hidden wound that the villain had inflicted twenty years ago was?
Looking at his back, the old man smiled faintly.
"If there's really no way to guess the correct choice, don't do it."
"I can see it right away, he can definitely do it." Tuantuan said in a childish and ambitious voice.
Seemingly very dissatisfied, the old man began to question his uncle, with a hint of sharpness in his words.
The old man smiled but said nothing. He had shown this last level to many treasure appraisers more than once, but no one had been able to find any clues.
You have to know that the treasure appraisers were able to bear this gambling agreement this time, but they had lost to the old man more than once. They were very confident every time, but the result always ended in failure.
If Luo Feng said it this time, the old man would still cooperate with him. After all, the level this time was too difficult and the old man had no choice.
No one expected that he could break through the first two levels so quickly, which aroused the old man's interest, or rather, challenge.
Think about whether it is possible to let Luo Feng find out this last hurdle.
Only Luo Feng spoke. He frowned and stared at the jade carving, his fingertips slowly moving along the folds of the Guanyin statue's clothes.
When his fingertips touched the winding branch pattern on the edge of the base, he suddenly stopped and a light flashed before his eyes.
Among the seemingly continuous vine patterns, there is a leaf whose veins appear a little stiff. When tapping it with fingernails, the echo here is muffled compared to other parts, as if the inside is hollow.
He squatted down, took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and shone the backlight onto the jade material under the leaves.
Sure enough, between the interweaving of light and shadow, a very fine crack was seen, extending from the leaf veins to the inside of the base like a spider web, but it was cleverly covered up by the sculptor's lines.
I have to say that using carved patterns to cover up scars is a very smart approach.
What Duo Fenxiang didn't understand was that such a precious cultural relic had scars on it, but it made him feel as if China had similar things in the past.
Combined with the three things he saw just now, he suddenly wondered if all the antiques in recent years were from China.
This time the old man showed them to him just to tell him that these three things cost money and he could choose to take all of them.
After all, it has been a while since the return of Chinese cultural relics, and many places have begun to spontaneously hand over the cultural relics they looted from China, of course, it is not completely free.
Include all the messy thoughts in your mind and take into account the current situation.
"Here." Luo Feng pointed his finger at the leaf. "The crack passes through the leaf veins and extends to the third circle of vines at the base. The sculptor must have used Kintsugi technique to repair it, so there is no trace on the surface, but if you look at it against the light, you can see subtle changes in the jade quality."
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a cultural relic of our China. Or maybe you brought these things to show me this time because you have some other ideas, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking about it.
Some of those wealthy people have already started using their mobile phones to search whether this cultural relic belongs to China?
If it really is China, then it at least proves one thing.
This old man came prepared.
Even the employees in the department store began to spontaneously line up around Luo Feng, wanting to watch this big show.
Soon Luo Feng appeared in the department store, and his confrontation with the old man had become a hot topic on the platform.
But many people were unable to enter the department store and could only watch at the door.
The old man didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Luo Feng frowned and couldn't help asking, "Did I guess wrong?"
Of course he would never think so, but would wonder if the old man wanted him to lose on purpose.
Luo Feng checked several other cultural relics and found that only the texture of this cultural relic had such subtle changes.
Tuan Tuan grabbed Luo Feng's clothes tightly and became nervous for him.
"Little brother, you really make people..."
