Chapter 1324 Please Show Me the Evidence

Li Mo thought he could rest well for a few days, but he didn't expect to receive a call from his aunt Qin Yali only three days after returning to Yandu. Her tone on the phone was a little unusual, asking him to rush to the Cultural Management Bureau to discuss and communicate with him about important matters.

After explaining it to his parents, he hurried to the Cultural Management Bureau. Qin Yali had been promoted a long time ago, but the Cultural Management Bureau was definitely under her direct leadership.

Along the way, Li Mo also thought of a lot. There were only two things that she attached so much importance to. One was related to the treasures of Columbia, and the other was related to the "Six Dragons Picture".

When he rushed to the meeting room of the Cultural Management Bureau, more than ten people were already sitting inside. Judging from the situation on the scene, there were obviously two groups of people. One of them was his own people, and the other party... was an American.

"Academician Li, please sit here."

Qin Yali wanted to stand up and say hello, but before she stood up, others had already shown a very enthusiastic look and greeted Li Mo one after another.

Li Mo only knew one or two familiar faces, and as for the others, he had never seen them before.

Qin Yali introduced to Li Mo what kind of avatars the people present were.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I have heard of you for a long time."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Mo shook hands with them one by one. When he introduced the foreigners, he realized where they came from. They came because of the "Six Dragons Picture".

"Academician Li, please take a seat."

In public, Qin Yali was still very careful about the impact.

After he sat down, Qin Yali continued: "Academician Li, this is what happened. This Ms. Lauren once spent a huge amount of money to buy a painting called "Six Dragons Picture" at an auction in the United States, but it was later stolen. Ms. Lauren immediately called the police and has been tracking the whereabouts of the ancient painting. After the police investigation, they learned that the "Six Dragons Picture" is already in your hands. Is this true?"

Everyone stared at him, wanting to hear how he answered.

"Oh, you mean the fake "Six Dragons"? It is in my hands. I have already made it clear to the people of Jinling City Bureau. If you still want to get the fake back, I will return it to them. It's no big deal. I still have such a broad mind."

Fake, this guy actually said that the "Six Dragons" is a fake? Ms. Lauren immediately became emotional and her hands trembled with anger.

"It can't be a fake. I spent tens of millions of US dollars to buy it. It is an antique cultural relic from the Southern Song Dynasty."

"In a museum in the United States, there is a masterpiece painting "Emperors of All Dynasties" from the Tang Dynasty hanging. It is regarded as the treasure of the museum. But later it was confirmed that the painting that you regarded as a treasure was actually a fake. Do you admit this?"

Lauren nodded uncertainly. The authenticity of "Emperors of All Dynasties" was no longer important. He had just heard what the other party meant. Even the antiques that Americans regard as the treasures of the museum are fakes, not to mention the so-called authentic antiques in her hands.

Li Mo faced her gaze with a calm face and asked lightly: "What I got is a fake. If you want it, I will arrange someone to send it over now. But I also spent real money to buy it. You can take the painting away, and you have to make up for my loss."

Lauren frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Since you said that the painting is a fake, why did you buy it? Do you want to collect a fake?"

"Because the original "Six Dragons" is in my hands, the level of the fake is still very high, it is normal for you not to notice it for a while. The reason why I bought the fake is that I want to take the fake. The original should be well kept in a constant temperature, and the fake can be taken out for display."

Lauren was short of words for a while, and didn't know how to refute him. In his hands, whether the painting is an authentic or a fake, there are only two or three people in the world who know the truth.

At this moment, any words are pale and powerless. As long as Li Mo insists that what he bought from others is a fake, who will doubt his words?

But when asked to produce ironclad evidence, Lauren thought carefully and found that she really had nothing to show.

Could it be that things can't go on at this point?

Lauren stood up suddenly and slapped the coffee table with a slap on her face, with a bit of anger on her face: "Mr. Li, we respect you, but my "Six Dragons" has been jointly identified by many experts, and that "Six Dragons" is the original."

"Ms. Lauren, is there a possibility that the original seller and the auction company teamed up to set a trap for you? That is an ancient painting worth more than 40 million US dollars. Take out 10 million to share with those identification experts, and you still make more than 30 million."

This... This... Everyone on Lauren's side widened their eyes in surprise. What kind of speculation is this... But if you think about it carefully, the possibility of such a joint scheme is still possible. In this case, I have no excuse to come to China to track down the "Six Dragons"?

"If you can prove that the seller and the auction house did not join hands to set up a scheme, the "Six Dragons" you bought is the original. As long as you can produce indisputable evidence, I will give you the original "Six Dragons" in my collection."

Li Mo said calmly.

Lauren and the others looked at each other. This is impossible to achieve. In other words, even if the "Six Dragons" that was stolen from her is an original, but when it comes to Li Mo's hands, he says it is a fake, then it must be a fake. No matter how authoritative a person is, he must be polite to Li Mo.

"Ms. Qin, I will not let this matter go. Let's go."

Ms. Lauren left with a few people, slamming the door angrily.

In the meeting room, Li Mo drank tea leisurely. After everyone else left, Qin Yali, who stayed behind, asked in a low voice: "Xiao Mo, is what you got really a fake?"

"Even if it is not a fake, it can only be a fake at this moment."

Li Mo's words were a bit difficult to understand, but Qin Yali understood what he meant. Now that things have taken a sharp turn, it is impossible for Lauren to get her antiques back,

unless she has convincing evidence in her hands.

Qin Yali felt it was necessary to remind him again: "Lauren initially applied for assistance in the investigation through the embassy staff, but the Jinling police simply abandoned her responsibility. Lauren had no choice but to think of other ways to meet you, but she didn't even have a chance to refute before the meeting ended hastily."

Li Mo put down the teacup, shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "Aunt Qin, anyone who intervenes in this matter will get themselves into trouble. After what happened just now, I guess they won't bother you again. They can't afford to lose face like that."
