CHAPTER 1172: CHAPTER 1171: MEMBERS OF THE YAN FAMILY APPEAR (PART 5)

Thus, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips!

"Mr. Yan, are the results out? It’s been twenty minutes now."

"Mr. Du, you... just wait a bit longer, let me take another look..."

Wait a bit longer?

When that man surnamed Du heard this, the mockery on his face intensified. He raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Yan, your rule is to tell the genuine from the fake at a glance; at the very worst, it should be a matter of five minutes. But now it’s been almost half an hour."

"You..."

"Mr. Yan, if you can’t appraise it, it’s okay. People make mistakes. As long as you keep your promise, it’s fine."

"What promise?"

"Ten times compensation for a fake!"

This man finally revealed his ultimate purpose.

Ten times compensation for a fake means if he can’t identify it, and it turns out to be false, he has to compensate ten times the estimated market value of this treasure.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s entire face became pale on the spot, and the surrounding audience collectively gasped.

If even the boss of Huaman Building can’t appraise this item, it must be more valuable, and ten times compensation would leave him without even his pants? Ruin him?

The onlookers finally realized that the owner was in deep trouble, so they all looked at him with extreme sympathy.

"Sir, you want Mr. Yan to compensate you, but you yourself don’t know this item either, so how can you expect compensation?"

"Exactly, you’re here for an appraisal yourself, how would you even know the price?"

Someone couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up in defense of the middle-aged man, whose face had turned ashen.

However, what shocked everyone even more was that the man called Mr. Du, after hearing the others, beckoned and another man wearing sunglasses emerged from behind him: "I indeed don’t know the value of this item, but before coming here, I consulted another Treasure Appraiser. I first asked Mr. Yan to have a look because I trusted his judgment. But now, I can only rely on him."

Waving his hand, the man with the sunglasses sat down beside him.

This was truly humiliating; he came to have his treasure appraised, yet he also brought along another Treasure Appraiser. If the man with the sunglasses really appraised the item, it would not just be a matter of losing money but the entire reputation of the Yan Family would be shattered.

Standing amongst the crowd, Ye Ning narrowed her pupils, and finally, two sharp glints shot out from within.

The man in sunglasses sat down, and the middle-aged man, despite his reluctance, had no choice but to hand over the item he couldn’t appraise to the man with sunglasses.

The result, once again, left everyone stunned when, after just a few minutes, the man with sunglasses recognized it: "This is an ivory toothpick from the Qing Dynasty. Judging by the dragon patterns and the materials used, it should have been used by the royal family at the time."

My God!

It’s actually something used by royalty!

As soon as these words were spoken, the spectators there all widened their eyes, staring in shock at the small item that nobody had paid attention to when it was first taken out.

Even the face of the middle-aged man turned extremely pale in an instant!
