“Despite its counterfeit nature, it retains significant value as a collector’s item!” Wang Yousheng declared. He quickly adjusted his tone, adding, “Mind you, this is purely my personal assessment and may not be universal. I would suggest a period-based verification for a more accurate conclusion!”

“Damn, could it really be a fake?”

“The host nailed it!”

“Isn’t this just embarrassing? They went as far as to bring in a foreigner to conduct this evaluation too!”

“Live or recorded, a fake is always going to be unveiled!” “Inopportune as it may be, I can’t stop myself from chuckling!”

“Let’s move on to those two paintings!”

“I suspect they might be fraudulent, too!”

“The room is charged with tension. Onward with the appraisal!” Comments poured in from every corner of the globe.

In the livestream room, the comments cascaded.

Everyone was there for the spectacle.

In that moment, the director of the Tokyo Museum was tempted to cut the broadcast, but rationality prevailed.

“Esteemed experts, could you please evaluate these two paintings?”

Kawashima Miyuki, complying with the director’s request, decided to carry on with the assessment.

It was, undeniably, a shameful incident for the Tokyo Museum. However, their decision to live-stream the appraisal was quite astute.

As the netizens had pointed out earlier, a fake artifact would eventually be exposed, no matter the circumstances.

More importantly, the livestreaming projected an image of innocence, suggesting that the museum, like the public, was duped by the counterfeit, rather than complicit in deceiving the masses with a fake artifact.

This clever handling diverted the brunt of public opinion away from them.

After all, who would audaciously live-stream a counterfeit they were aware of?

This, it must be noted, was quite shrewd.

Not long after.

The two paintings were also flagged as replicas.

The Tokyo Museum staff wore their grim faces like a mask, feeling genuine disappointment beneath the act.

“All three artifacts are unequivocally fakes!”

“As the overseer of the Tokyo Museum, I failed to identify these discrepancies and for that, I offer my sincere apologies! ”

“I suspect these artifacts were switched out during the last century. Had this not been the case, they would not have slipped past us. We relied on past validations of their authenticity and had no reason to believe they had been swapped!”

In essence, the museum director’s justification suggested the artifacts had been replaced in the previous century.

It was not their oversight.

Even though they did not outright reject the blame.

The implication was there.

“Is the appraisal complete?”

Back in Luo Feng’s hotel suite, Long Jianfei, having finished his work, came to find Luo Feng.

Observing the woman’s black silk in the room.

Left unattended.

Long Jianfei’s face turned a shade of red.

This Luo Feng.

Everything was commendable, save for his rather unrestrained personal life.

But who could fault him for being young?

With such youth and charm, it was natural to attract many women.

“The appraisal is complete. Wang Yousheng couldn’t help himself on the spot! They played it quite smart, though!” Luo Feng said.

“They did, indeed. This strategy effectively diffused public sentiment. As long as there was no intentional deception, it’s the best possible outcome,” Long Jianfei agreed.

“Have all the artifacts been handled?” Luo Feng inquired.

“All artifacts have been packed and are ready to be shipped back to the capital tomorrow. There will be a reception there. Would you like to attend?” Long

“I think I’ll pass. You guys go on ahead,” Luo Feng declined.

“Alright then. We know you have more on your mind than just wine. We’ll leave you to it!” With a glance at Li Shishi, whose cheeks were tinged pink, Long Jianfei added, “We won’t impose on your private time anymore. But remember, as a young man, some restraint wouldn’t hurt.”

Luo Feng, unfazed, simply laughed heartily, while Li Shishi’s blush deepened.

“What a suggestive old man, speaking so freely in front of a lady!”

“Did you catch that, little demon? Cease your seduction, we ought to exercise some restraint!”

“Hmph, you’re the one who can’t control himself. So, I won’t be joining you tonight!” Li Shi Shi retorted playfully.

However, Luo Feng swiftly enveloped her in his embrace. Indulging a woman was hardly something to shy away from.

The following morning, a refreshed Luo Feng bid farewell to Long Jianfei and his entourage at the airport.

Having wrapped up the variety show in Hiroshima, Luo Feng had no further obligations towards them.

Luo Feng rented an SUV and set off on a road trip with Li Shishi, streaming their adventure live.

Although the journey of over three hundred kilometers could be completed in a day, Luo Feng was not in a rush, wanting to savor the experience.

Along the way, he made reservations at several boutique hotels and purchased tickets to numerous attractions.

By all indications, he was truly vacationing.

He even gave his viewers virtual tours of the various destinations.

Despite having spent a substantial sum in a day, Luo Feng’s spirits remained high.

Three days swiftly passed with Luo Feng covering an average of 100 kilometers each day.

Eventually, they reached their final destination.

That evening, Luo Feng secured a hotel room for himself and Li Shishi to rest in..
