67 Cracking Down On Impostors
Although one million yuan was just a drop in the bucket for Su Xun, it did not mean that he would fund Xi Wan.
Moreover, Xi Wan was not spending this money for a piece of commercial land, nor was it for a peerless auction item. She was only spending it to verify the authenticity of a bracelet.
Su Xun was silent for a long time. He then said, “Xi Wan, if the final result is that you’re wrong, I won’t fork out this sum of money for you.”
Xi Yan said nonchalantly. “I know, I wasn’t intending to let you fork out the money anyway.”
!!
She had a cheque that she carried with her in her bag. In the past, she used to think that this kind of thing would take up a lot of space in her bag, but now that she could use it, there was only one word in Xi Wan’s heart—awesome!
She wrote 1.5 million on the cheque, then slammed it on the table and said, “Here’s 1.5 million yuan. If I’m really wrong in the end, you can take this cheque and I’ll also apologize to appraiser Luo.”
When the organizer saw how generous Xi Wan was, he immediately got someone to contact the professional gemstone appraisal association.
When Luo Shun saw this, he suddenly felt guilty and bowed his body to leave.
Xi Wan’s eyes were sharp. She grabbed his sleeve and said, “You still want to run?”
Luo Shun struggled and Xi Wan almost lost her grip on him because she was weak and had little strength.
Just as Su Xun was about to make a move, a figure faster than him scuttled over from the guest’s seat and pressed Luo Shun’s head down. “Mrs. Su has already said that you have to wait here for the final results. Why are you running for?”
This person was Xiao Zhe and there was a meaningful smile on his face. Luo Shun could not help but shiver when he saw it.
Su Xun’s eyes darkened and he retracted his hand that was about to reach out.
The surrounding guests were all waiting for the final result, so naturally, no one noticed Su Xun’s series of small actions.
Luo Shun was pressed down and could not move. Finally, he could not help but begged for mercy, “I know I was wrong! I’m not a professional appraiser and my certification was forged! Please don’t call the police. I’m already so old, I can’t go to prison!”
Xi Wan said, “Didn’t you just swear that there aren’t many people who can identify better than you? The final result isn’t out yet so how do you know that I’m right?”
Luo Shun was really suffering unspeakable pain now. If he had known earlier that this would happen, he would not have been a liar from the beginning!
Now, he was not only embarrassing himself at the auction but this young girl also insisted on throwing the final appraisal result in his face. Wasn’t that even more embarrassing?!
Fifteen minutes later, a refined middle-aged man came in with the auctioneer. He was wearing a decent suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and there was a work pass from the appraisal association around his neck.
He walked over and said to the people present, “Hello, I’m a member of the gem appraisal association. My name is Gao Fan.”
The organizer handed the bracelet over and asked, “Appraiser Gao, take a look at this bracelet. Is it made of jade or agate?”
Gao fan did not even take a closer look at it. He could tell at a glance that the bracelet was made of inferior chalcedony.
He said, “This bracelet is made from the cheapest of the gemstones, chalcedony.”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Luo Shun had indeed confessed to his crime but Xi Wan could tell at a glance that the bracelet was not made of jade. This was considered to be an outstanding ability among the wealthy ladies present.
At this moment, the wealthy ladies began to admire Xi Wan even more. Even Li Yue, who had spoken without thinking before, began to feel respect for Xi Wan.
The only exception was Cheng Shi.
She only felt that Xi Wan’s face was detestable at this moment. She only knew how to show off in front of others and use this to attract Ling Feng’s attention.
The organizer called the police directly and did not let Luo Shun off the hook. The organizer did not give in despite his tears and snot.
After the police came to take Luo Shun away, the organizer found Xi Wan and handed her a gorgeous box respectfully, and said, “Thank you for coming forward today and helping me to solve such a big hidden danger, Mrs. Su. I was also deceived by his forged documents in the beginning. Although he had gone through various investigations, I didn’t find any problems, so I believed him easily. This brooch is a thank you gift from me on behalf of our auction house. I hope you won’t despise it.”
Xi Wan was a little embarrassed and declined, “How can I accept this? This brooch should also be your auction item, right? How can you give it to me?”
The organizer said, “This is a thank you gift for you. If it weren’t for you, our auction would have suffered even greater losses.”
