Chapter 1404 Genuine vs. Fake

This seems to have become an inevitable path for women in Luofeng.

If you want to be with Luo Feng for a long time, Luo Feng's affection alone is far from enough.

He needed to gain the approval of these little ones; as for the older sisters, it was always enough that Luo Feng liked them.

Aside from... if Luo Feng really was deceived, they might show up and say a word or two.

But most of the time, they don't interfere too much in Luo Feng's private life.

Otherwise, like a certain older sister, who is a true warrior of pure love, wouldn't she be furious to see so many women in Luo Feng's harem?
Actually, because of the Godly Rich Uncle System, Luo Feng takes these little ones with him wherever he goes.

Over time, the girls around Luo Feng also learned about this and would naturally try to get close to his niece, or even try to please her.

Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you fight without danger.

The women in Luo Feng's harem have already used all thirty-six stratagems on these adorable little ones.

As long as the effect is good, there is no problem.

It's really tough on them, since not every woman likes children.

But now they are forced to accept and like these little ones.

"Where would you like to go next?"

Lin Naoko turned to look at them, her eyes filled with tenderness, and asked with a smile.

She also found these little ones adorable, just like she did back in Sakura.

If she said she had other ideas, it would be absolutely impossible for her to say she hadn't thought about them.

But no matter what, Lin Naizi's feelings for these children were genuine; it wasn't just to show off in front of Luo Feng, which would have been meaningless.

Luo Feng was well aware of this.

Of all these women, Luo Feng admired Lin Naizi the most, except for Bai Ningbing before that.

An empress is an empress, and no one can shake her position.

The women gradually came to know this, and none of them wanted to take her place.

Even Lin Naizi, who seemed to be a perfect match for Luo Feng and had a great understanding with him, stayed in her place and did not overstep her bounds.

“Mr. Luo, this is just the tip of the iceberg. As our cooperation deepens, I will slowly explain these things to you. But for now, I still don’t quite trust you.”

Colin turned around and looked at Luo Feng, his words carrying a hint of probing.

This is understandable, since Luo Feng is completely unpredictable, and relying solely on those materials is useless.

Only after getting to know him will you realize that this man's shrewdness and cunning are top-notch.

Only fools would think Luo Feng is a nouveau riche, someone easy to deal with; anyone with a brain can see that.

The turbulent emotions hidden in his eyes would surely lead to certain death if touched.

"Is it really that bad? There shouldn't be any other hidden dangers between us."

Luo Feng paused, narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"If you're referring to the Shadow Council, then I'm sorry, that's my bottom line, and I won't cross it!"

Even if you offered Luo Feng an irresistible offer, let alone such information, he would never back down.

Everything changed the moment the Shadow Council and the Thanatos Organization began cooperating.

"Mr. Luo, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant."

Colin shook his head and said, "I think that since we've started this collaboration, we should both show some sincerity."

"I've already shown you my things, at least a part of them, so shouldn't you give me some as well?"

Colin was alluding to the photo that Luo Feng took.

The problem is that this picture is fake!

Although Luo Feng didn't find anyone to make a judgment, he only relied on what Zheng Shihhan and Zheng Zhilong said.

However, if this picture is really real, the Zheng family will definitely not give up. They will fight to the end, even if it costs them their entire fortune.

That's why Luo Feng felt that the picture probably wasn't real.

However, he certainly wouldn't say such things to the other party, otherwise, wouldn't that just make Colin refuse to cooperate with him directly?

"So, Mr. Luo, what's your decision now?"

Colin looked at Luo Feng, who remained silent, and asked with a faint smile.

He also knew that in such cooperation, suspicion between the two parties was inevitable, which was a normal phenomenon.

"Mr. Colin, I have a question that I hope you can answer for me."

Luo Feng's tone suddenly changed, and then he looked at the other person.

"What do you mean?"

Colin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and seemed a little stunned.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng gently traced the weathered marks on the edge of the stone tablet with his fingers, and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Thorne's sincerity... is it really sincerity?"

He pressed his fingertip heavily on a crack and smiled knowingly.

"So you're testing me with this fake antique?"

Upon hearing this, Colin's expression changed drastically.

The cold light from the glass cabinet reflected on Luo Feng's profile, revealing the sharp glint in his eyes.

The weathered mark that had been pressed on even had a slight sheen of glue, making it look obviously fake.

At the time, Luo Feng didn't look at it carefully; his focus was entirely on the classical Chinese.

Looking at it again now, we find many clues, all of which are completely inconsistent with ancient times.

It should be noted that after so many years of dealing with antiques, Luo Feng's expertise in antiques is quite high.

As for the picture he auctioned, Luo Feng hasn't actually looked at it carefully yet, otherwise he would know whether it's real or fake.

“The patterns were etched with hydrofluoric acid just three days ago. Paired with classical Chinese, it’s quite a clever scheme.”

Luo Feng flicked the lime powder off his hands. "It's a pity the people who did the aging work don't understand. Authentic Qin Dynasty stone inscriptions should have been made using..."

What he said next made Colin's face turn completely grim.

This man's knowledge far exceeded his expectations.

But this experience made him realize that fooling this man wasn't so simple. "So, you figured out from all this that what I did was fake?"

Colin raised an eyebrow and asked, "If it's real, or a very similar fake, what should we do?"

“You must be a professional, how come you don’t even know these things? Let me teach you.”

Luo Feng cleared his throat and continued.

“Mr. Thorne, an antique finish made with epoxy resin bonding can be made for $30,000 on the black market now.”

"You might be able to fool laymen with these cheap things, but professionals, even those who are slightly knowledgeable, can tell at a glance that they are fake."

Colin's smile froze.

This is a fake that he spent a lot of money to create.

After all, this is a matter of great importance and importance. For safety reasons and other precautions, he couldn't possibly release it in the first place.

Luo Feng could understand the other party's purpose in doing so, so he did not accuse Colin of anything.

Because if he were in his shoes, he would have done the same.

The bodyguards in the monitoring room heard a barely audible sigh through their earpieces.

Unexpectedly, Luo Feng exposed it so easily, and the fact that there were surveillance cameras in this place proves that it couldn't be true.

Because if it's placed in a place like that, and there's surveillance, it's very easy for someone to hack into it.

Of course, the local area network that Colin chose made it much harder for other hackers to break in.

Moreover, Colin's real purpose in installing surveillance here was to create a road that leads to where the genuine product is located.

If someone breaks in, the security guards will be notified immediately.

"So, Mr. Colin, is there anything you'd like to say now?"

Luo Feng crossed his arms and looked at the other person with amusement.

"Mr. Luo truly lives up to his reputation."

Colin suddenly burst into laughter, fine beads of sweat appearing in his wrinkles.

He was also shocked by Luo Feng's actions and mentality; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way.

As the head of a conglomerate, Colin hadn't felt this uneasy in a long time.

Luo Feng's oppressive aura is something that shouldn't be present in someone his age.

He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his forehead, then took a deep breath to readjust his mindset.

“Mr. Luo, you have truly impressed me. Of course, I hope you don’t mind; this was just a small test, after all…”

He paused, then glanced meaningfully at Luo Feng's empty hands, indicating his intention to maintain control.

"You didn't bring anything real either."

Little did they know, from the moment Luo Feng exposed them, the initiative had already been in Luo Feng's hands, and he would not allow the other party to take it back.

Luo Feng slowly took out a USB flash drive from his inner pocket and examined it briefly.

"The password to Zhengjia Shipping's equity documents is the seventh character of the third line of the inscription."

He handed the item to the other party, then stared intently at Colin and asked, "Now can we see the real thing?"

"Mr. Luo was indeed better prepared than I was."

Colin's facial muscles twitched twice, and he suddenly turned around and pressed the hidden button on the bookshelf.

The entire oak bookshelf slid open silently, revealing a downward staircase.

A chilly wind carrying the smell of mildew swept over us, and the motion-sensor lights on both sides of the stairs lit up one after another, illuminating the dense array of laser emitters on the wall.

Seeing this, Luo Feng narrowed his eyes.

They're finally getting serious.

However, these devices are not simple either. This Colin is probably more meticulous than he imagined.

It seems that Luo Feng should be more careful when facing this person in the future, lest he fall into the trap set by the other party.

He had every reason to believe that if he hadn't exposed it, Colin would have continued to treat it as genuine and would have given him this very thing in the end.

Colin also wanted to keep the secret to himself.

"Please." Colin made an exaggerated gesture of invitation and gave an awkward smile.

"I hope Mr. Luo won't mind taking this route."

Luo Feng chuckled lightly and elegantly removed a cufflink from his suit jacket and tossed it onto the third step.

With a "click," a dozen crossbow bolts suddenly shot out from the walls on both sides, pinning the cufflinks to the bulletproof glass opposite.

Colin just watched this scene without saying a word.

Regardless of whether this was a test or not, he wanted to see what Luo Feng was capable of.

If someone is a nouveau riche, they wouldn't understand these things except for having a lot of dirty money.

"A mechanism from the Renaissance era?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at him, saying slowly and deliberately, "Mr. Colin has a very retro taste."

"I'm thinking about this: if I really die, at the hands of these agencies, how will you handle it? Or... have you already come up with a plan?"

Colin's face turned pale, and he silently turned off the other traps.

"Mr. Luo is joking. These are the technologies I wanted to show you. What do you think? Although they can't compare to the mechanisms in your ancient Chinese tombs, they still have some technical sophistication, right?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"That would be best, but Mr. Colin clearly has a deep understanding of the mechanisms in our Chinese cultural relics. The way these mechanisms are set up has that kind of charm."

"Let's go, Mr. Luo, let me show you the real ancient Chinese characters."

Colin gestured for Luo Feng to proceed, and then, seemingly worried that Luo Feng might overthink things, he personally stepped forward to lead the way.

This was a test to tell Luo Feng that there were no problems now.

The two passed through seven alloy doors that required iris recognition and finally stopped in front of an aquarium.

Three albino crocodiles are tearing at an object that looks like a human bone. Colin presses a hidden button on the wall that resembles a brick.

The water in the crocodile pool was quickly drained, gradually revealing the stone coffin at the bottom...
