Chapter 357: Master Shan

 Chapter 357: Master Shan

Shu Yu looked out of the window and although she couldn't see exactly what the other party was doing or what they looked like, she could see the shadows moving back and forth through the gaps in the blinds. It seemed that the other party hadn't left, and she let out a sigh of relief. Da Niu leaned closer to the door and made a small hole in the corner, peering at the door of the box. The three of them silently stared at the opposite box, while the buyer inside remained calm and didn't come out. According to Meng Yunzheng's suggestion, the auction would last for at least a few hours. Just as Shu Yu was thinking about this, she suddenly heard Da Niu's voice in her ear, "Ah Yu, several guys from the black market have entered that box." Shu Yu immediately leaned over to take a look and indeed saw several people entering the box. Shortly after, they came out. Her heart tightened, "Keep watching. If someone comes out, let me know immediately." "Okay." Da Niu stared even more intently, afraid to miss any movement. However, even if the buyer obtained the painting, they clearly had no intention of leaving. Time passed slowly, and while Shu Yu was watching closely, the other party remained calm. In fact, when another antique auction item appeared later, the buyer in that box even bid on it twice. Were they trying to confuse others or were they genuinely unaware of the significance of the painting? Shu Yu kept her eyes on the figure moving behind the window blinds. Once again, she heard Da Niu's voice, "Ah Yu, someone is coming towards our side." Shu Yu snapped back to attention, walked to the door, and looked outside. She couldn't help but feel delighted and whispered, "Open the door." The door opened, and Meng Yunzheng, wearing a hat, walked in. Shu Yu closed the door and turned to ask him, "Meng..." She suddenly stopped and glanced at Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan, immediately changing her address, "Master Shan, is the painting ready?" Master Shan? Meng Yunzheng was taken aback for a moment before laughing and said, "So now you're calling me Master Shan?" He took off the hat and placed it aside, then unfolded the painting scroll. Shu Yu was a bit surprised and wondered what method Meng Yunzheng had used. The painting scroll clearly looked much older than the one she had seen before. It didn't appear new at all. Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan also approached, puzzled, to take a look. In the next moment, Yuan Shanchuan's eyes widened, "You've brought the painting back?" Then he felt something was off and furrowed his brow, "But it seems different." "Of course, it's not the same. This is a new painting that looks convincingly real. Now the problem is that we haven't seen the original painting. Fourth Uncle, you've had that painting for many days, so you should be familiar with the areas that have damages and creases, right?" Shu Yu whispered. Yuan Shanchuan immediately nodded, "Yes, I know. I've been looking at that painting every day." "We don't have much time, let's hurry." Meng Yunzheng looked at Yuan Shanchuan, asking him to recall the details. Yuan Shanchuan felt a little nervous under his gaze and swallowed before quickly describing several prominent areas. In fact, the painting had been well-preserved as it was a valuable artwork in itself, and considering its importance as evidence, even if there were damages, they were caused by Yuan Shanchuan's efforts to hide it over this period. Although it had been a year since the painting was made, it didn't look excessively old. Meng Yunzheng quickly recreated the details of the painting based on Yuan Shanchuan's description. Fortunately, when he painted the original painting, he had used common materials for the paper scroll, so it didn't differ much from the one before him.
