"Old sir, I actually only figured it out later!"
"It's because the outer layer of this painting was done by Tang Yin's direct disciple. I saw it in ancient texts before, their painting styles were identical!"
"However, this is enough to show that his disciple faked it to protect his true work, so I concluded that it's a painting within a painting!"
Lin Feng explained calmly, naturally not revealing his special ability.
"Excellent eyesight!"
"Xiao Wan, quickly, quickly introduce me to your friend!"
Tang Qingshan was shocked by Lin Feng's ability and hurriedly signaled Tang Wan to introduce him.
Tang Wan gradually recovered from her shock, forcing a smile. "Grandpa, his name is Lin Feng."
"Young friend Lin Feng, Xiao Wan mentioned you cured Dongdong's illness. I haven't thanked you yet. You must take a seat later!"
"You flatter me, old sir. I just felt that such a good work shouldn't be buried, so I spent money to buy it."
Lin Feng smiled humbly, but his heart was blooming with joy.
This painting was worth hundreds of millions, and he had bought it for a thousand yuan. He had truly struck it rich.
However, Lin Feng's words also reminded everyone, especially He Jiye, who regretted it to the point his intestines were twisting.
"I told you it was genuine, but you insisted it was a fake. Now look, it's sold for a thousand yuan. It's all your doing!"
He Jiye wanted to cry but had no tears, glaring fiercely at everyone present.
But he couldn't blame Lin Feng, because if it weren't for Lin Feng, he wouldn't have been able to clear his name.
"Dad, what do we do now? Is this Lin fellow going to get involved with Old Master Tang?"
Zheng Youlong was a bit anxious. If Lin Feng got close to the Tang family, it wouldn't be good for him.
"It's fine. I thought this brat had some deep background, but it turns out he just got lucky and helped Miss Tang cure a child!"
"If your dad were to treat it, I'd do a better job than him!"
Zheng Dali clenched his fist unwillingly, trembling with anger.
But soon, Zheng Dali had a flash of inspiration. "That's right, if we can also cure an illness for a member of the Tang family, then wouldn't Old Master Tang's investment in the hospital be a sure thing?"
"But Dad, look at the Tang family members. None of them seem sick. Even if you want to treat them, they don't have any illnesses to treat!"
Zheng Youlong looked at the lively Tang family members, confused.
Zheng Dali smiled mysteriously. "If there's no illness, we can create one!"
"Later, you'll secretly put this pill into Old Master Tang's teacup. When Old Master Tang falls ill, it will be my time to shine!"
"At that time, the entire Tang family will be grateful to us!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Youlong's eyes lit up. "Dad, you're brilliant! Don't worry, I'll take care of the poisoning!"
Tang Qingshan had no idea that the Zheng father and son were plotting against him behind his back. His eyes were filled with fervent admiration as he gazed at Tang Bohu's genuine work in Lin Feng's hands.
"Young friend Lin Feng, since this painting is yours now, are you willing to part with it?"
"If you are, I'm willing to acquire it for ninety million!"
As soon as Tang Qingshan said this, everyone present immediately turned their gaze to Lin Feng, their eyes filled with shock and envy.
After all, Lin Feng had only spent a thousand yuan to buy this painting from He Jiye, and now he was selling it for ninety million. The money was earned too easily!
Zheng Dali and Zheng Youlong were also shaken.
Ninety million was not a small fortune for their family.
And now, all of it had been obtained by Lin Feng alone!
Qin Wenwen also had mixed feelings. Her face was pale, and her teeth were chattering from excessive anger.
Ninety million!
This good-for-nothing Lin Feng had actually obtained ninety million!
If she had known, she wouldn't have broken up with Lin Feng. At least she could have gotten some money!
Thinking of this, Qin Wenwen felt her heart bleeding, and she even felt that Zheng Youlong, the wealthy catch, was not as appealing as Lin Feng!
To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng's attitude was firm. "Old sir, I'm not selling this painting!"
"Young sir, if you think the price is too low, we can discuss it further. Money is not an issue, just name your price!"
Tang Qingshan was a bit anxious.
He had loved antiques his entire life, almost to the point of obsession, especially this genuine work by Tang Yin. He liked it too much!
"Mr. Lin, why don't you reconsider selling the painting to my grandfather? My grandfather really likes this painting."
Tang Wan also chimed in.
Lin Feng smiled calmly. "Miss Tang, you misunderstand. The reason I'm not selling this painting is that I intend to give it to Old Master Tang as a gift."
"Ah!? You're saying you want to give the painting to my grandfather?!"
Tang Wan said in disbelief.
"That's right! The reason I obtained this painting was that I took advantage of Old Master Tang, and the money to buy it was also lent to me by Miss Tang, so I'm giving this painting to Old Master Tang."
Lin Feng said nonchalantly, and in front of everyone, handed the painting to Old Master Tang.
This action made many people present gape in astonishment.
If Lin Feng were a rich man, giving it away for free would be understandable.
But Lin Feng's attire and demeanor suggested he was not wealthy at all. Giving away a painting worth ninety million for free, was this guy pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, a descendant of some powerful family?
"Dad, this Lin fellow is truly an idiot. He doesn't even want money that's right in front of him. He deserves to be poor his whole life!"
Zheng Youlong cursed hatefully.
Zheng Dali, however, waved and smacked Zheng Youlong's head. "I think you're the idiot!"
"Dad, why are you hitting me? Did I say something wrong?"
Zheng Youlong rubbed his head aggrievedly, utterly confused.
"Stupid! Ninety million is a considerable fortune, but compared to befriending Old Master Tang, ninety million is nothing!"
"Moreover, would Old Master Tang accept it for free?"
Zheng Dali was furious.
And as he said, after Tang Qingshan accepted the painting, he immediately said gratefully, "Young friend Lin Feng, thank you for letting me have this painting. However, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept your gift for free."
"Xiao Wan, give young friend Lin Feng a ninety-million-yuan check. Also, young friend Lin Feng will be a distinguished guest of our Tang family from now on. You must treat him well!"
Tang Qingshan instructed.
Tang Wan, following her grandfather's instructions, quickly wrote a ninety-million-yuan check and gave it to Lin Feng.
At the same time, Tang Wan's gaze towards Lin Feng held more curiosity.
This man was not simple!
He was unmoved even by ninety million. What was he hiding?
"Congratulations, Old Master Tang, on acquiring the masterpiece!"
At this moment, many people began to step forward to offer their congratulations.
Zheng Youlong also seized the opportunity to secretly sprinkle the prepared powder into the wine glass and stepped forward to congratulate him. "Grandpa Tang, I'll toast you too. Congratulations on acquiring the masterpiece!"
With that, Zheng Youlong handed the poisoned wine to Old Master Tang.
