Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1216 When the fake is true, the truth is also false

Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan felt relieved when they saw Hua Zhuyue successfully bid for two porcelain vases. Pu Jian knew the relationship between Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue very well, and the price Hua Zhuyue paid was almost the same as Xu Chunliang's.

When Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang went to handle the transaction formalities, Mo Han and others went to check the other bamboo slips. Although there were only 712 slips, because of the way they were stored, they filled three boxes. Mo Han's side required that they be checked one by one before the transaction. It would probably take a lot of time to check them all.

Xu Chunliang's situation was much simpler. He only had to check two porcelain bottles. Xu Chunliang was not an expert in this area. The two porcelain bottles looked almost identical, and he had no idea whether there was any genuine product inside.

Hua Zhuyue didn't bring that much cash, but she used the house deed as collateral and asked Liang Shangjun to go to the company to get the money tomorrow morning. With her status, she would certainly not breach the contract.

Xu Chunliang pretended to examine the two porcelain bottles, but he couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Hua Zhuyue looked at Mo Han, who happened to be looking at her as well. They both walked towards each other, and when they got closer, Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Mo, for the porcelain vase."

Mo Han said calmly: "No need to thank me, it's not something valuable, it's just a fake."

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "When the fake is made to look real, the real becomes fake. For people like us in the martial arts world, real and fake are sometimes not that important."

Mo Han laughed and said, "Boss Hua is so willful that he spent 23 million to buy a pair of fakes."

Hua Zhuyue said, "I'll tell you a secret. Xu Chunliang asked me to come here. Let alone 20 million, I wouldn't even frown even if it was 200 million."

Mo Han became more and more unhappy when he heard her say that, and sneered: "Boss Hua is really infatuated."

Hua Zhuyue said, "It's easy to find priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. You're still young, and you don't know how to cherish until you're my age. Oh, by the way, I heard he asked you for help, too."

Mo Han said: "He has found the wrong person. I don't have such a relationship with him. Besides, what I despise most is a man who is indecisive."

Hua Zhuyue sighed and said, "Don't worry about that. He has no intentions towards a girl like you who doesn't understand romance."

The smile on Mo Han's face had completely disappeared. Hua Zhuyue was clearly insulting him, and he was about to retort.

Hua Zhuyue looked at the people who were checking bamboo slips not far away and asked in a low voice, "Are those broken bamboo pieces so valuable?"

Mo Han said: "Everyone has their own preferences."

Hua Zhuyue asked: "Do you know why I don't continue to compete with you?"

Mo Han asked, "Is Mr. Hua worried about the house?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "The main reason is that I don't like it. I don't know anything about medicine, and the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is of no use to me."

Mo Han's heart trembled. Hua Zhuyue actually knew that the content above was "Huangdi Waijing". He really underestimated her. But this was normal. Wasn't there a middle-aged scholar by Hua Zhuyue's side?

Hua Zhuyue said: "Have you ever thought that although it is true that these bamboo slips came from the Warring States Period, when was the Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic written? Who can verify the authenticity of the contents of the bamboo slips?"

Mo Han couldn't help but say, "Most of the grapes that are not eaten are sour."

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "No wonder you hold such a grudge against Chunliang."

Mo Han's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, but Hua Zhuyue remained unmoved, her eyes were calm and peaceful. She clearly had the upper hand in this confrontation.

Xu Chunliang had already packed the bottles. He came to Hua Zhuyue with the box and said to her, "Boss Hua, you can go now."

Hua Zhuyue nodded to Mo Han and said, "Miss Mo, please go ahead and check it slowly."

Several speedboats have been prepared at the dock of the nameless island. These speedboats are specially provided to successful bidders, mainly for safety reasons.

Although Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang obtained two Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases, they did not see Sun Changli at the scene. It seems that this guy is unlikely to come tonight.

The two boarded the speedboat, and Hua Zhuyue told the driver the location of the yacht, asking him to set off immediately to take them to their destination.

Hua Zhuyue remained highly alert, fearing that something might happen during the journey. Xu Chunliang approached her, put his arms around her slender waist, and said with a smile: "You've been tired all night, lean on me and have a good rest."

Hua Zhuyue said: "Two nights is right."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Hua Zhuyue leaned on Xu Chunliang's shoulder. In addition to their speedboat, there were two other speedboats escorting them. She whispered in Xu Chunliang's ear, "I always feel that tonight is going too smoothly."

Xu Chunliang said: "Didn't Mo Han say that these two bottles are fakes?"

Hua Zhuyue asked: "What if it's true?"

Xu Chunliang yawned and said, "When a car reaches the mountain, there will always be a road; when a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight."

Under the escort of Jiang Yucheng's men, Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang successfully arrived at the sea area where the yacht was located and boarded the yacht.

The ghost market will end at three in the morning, and Mo Han's identification and cleaning work is also coming to an end. The man in black came to Mo Han and whispered, "There should be no problem. Have you finished your work?"

Mo Han nodded and said, "Everything is arranged. We should be there now." The yacht slowly sailed towards Tianjin Port under the moonlight. The moon came out from the clouds again, illuminating the dark blue sea and the white hull.

The captain, who was concentrating on the sea conditions, was suddenly stunned. Two black spots appeared in his sight, and red and blue lights flickered alternately. Soon they heard the sound of sirens.

Those were two customs anti-smuggling boats that broke through the waves. They belonged to the Tianjin Customs. Wherever there were anti-smuggling boats, there were usually problems.

The captain immediately informed the yacht owner of the situation, as it was impossible to escape the other party's pursuit at this distance.

After a brief communication, the yacht continued to move forward at its original speed. As the two sides got closer, they could clearly hear the anti-smuggling boat asking them to stop.

Hua Zhuyue signaled to the captain to stop the ship and cooperate with the customs officers for inspection.

Customs officers searched the yacht carefully but did not find any suspicious items.

Hua Zhuyue sat in the venue quietly sipping a cup of coffee. The seemingly calm sea surface was actually surging. If the two Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases were on the boat, they would definitely not escape the search, and Hua Zhuyue would be in trouble. If they were just fakes, she would probably be safe, but if one of the two Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases was authentic, then she would become the biggest suspect in the Linzheng Hall theft case.

From the moment Hua Zhuyue took the picture of the jade huchun vase, she had a premonition that the return journey would not be peaceful. Xu Chunliang agreed with her on this point, and they also thought of a response plan.

After the anti-smuggling boat appeared, Xu Chunliang dived underwater with two porcelain bottles in advance. He waited until the customs officers left and made sure it was safe. Only after Hua Zhuyue gave a signal did he float to the surface again. The whole process took nearly half an hour, and he did it without any snorkeling equipment.

The customs officers did not get the desired result and had to release the yacht.

As the sun rose, Huang Wanglin prepared to leave Linzhengtang and go to the hospital. Just as he got in the car, Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang arrived.

Both of them had not slept all night, but they were full of energy. Xu Chunliang said, "Third Master!"

Huang Wanglin opened the car door and walked down: "Chunliang, Mr. Hua, so early?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Mr. Hua brought two things and I want you to help identify them."

Huang Wanglin said, "I'm just about to go to the hospital. Why don't we wait until tomorrow?" He really wasn't in the mood to do so.

Xu Chunliang said: "Since we are here, Third Master, please give us a chance."

Thinking of everything Xu Chunliang had done for him, Huang Wanglin naturally didn't want to refuse his respect, so he nodded and said, "Did you bring the things?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I brought it, but it seems inconvenient here."

Huang Wanglin had no choice but to patiently take them to his study, and Xu Chunliang placed a suitcase on his desk.

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "Third Master, you should help me take a look."

Huang Wanglin opened the suitcase and uncovered the soft cloth covering it. When he saw the two Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases inside, he was stunned: "This..."

The first thing that came to his mind was that it was a fake, but with his eyesight he could not find any flaws. He opened the drawer, put on gloves, and took out a porcelain vase on the right. He examined it carefully from top to bottom, and his hands began to tremble slightly. He was certain that this jade vase was the one that was stolen from Linzhengtang.

Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue looked at each other, and from Huang Wanglin's reaction they had already determined that the porcelain vase should be real.

Huang Wanglin carefully put down the porcelain bottle and picked up another one, this time looking at it longer.

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, if the one just now was the real one, this one must be a high-quality fake, but he couldn't tell the difference anyway.

Huang Wanglin finished appreciating the porcelain vases and carefully put them back, closing the suitcase. His expression had returned to calm. "Boss Hua, where did you get these two porcelain vases?"

Hua Zhuyue had no need to hide anything in front of Huang Wanglin: "To be honest, this is what Chunliang and I earned from the auction at the ghost market last night."

Huang Wanglin nodded.

Xu Chunliang said: "Third Master, in your opinion, is it true or false?"

Huang Wanglin said: "This Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases were originally a pair. I got one of them by chance. Over the years, I have been trying to find the other one, but I have never succeeded. Not long ago, I lost the other one."

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "Third Master, does that mean these two Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade vases are both real?"

Huang Wanglin said, "That's right!" Although he saw his lost treasure right in front of him, Huang Wanglin could not be too excited. He knew very well that Hua Zhuyue must have spent a huge price to buy these two bottles. Even if his Yuhuchun bottle was stolen, the other party also spent real money on it.

Hua Zhuyue said, "I feel relieved with what Third Master said. Please keep these two bottles."

Huang Wanglin looked at Hua Zhuyue in astonishment. He never thought that Hua Zhuyue would return the bottle to him so readily and even give him another one as a gift.

"How is this possible?"

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "I know nothing about antiques. This time, Chunliang asked me for help. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
