Director Wu and the staff looked at each other and nodded. Ye Feng's words made sense. After living in the Jade City for a long time, even a ten-year-old child knew the difference between broken jade and flawless jade.
Young Master Chu looked at Ye Feng in a daze. This pendant had been repaired by the most skilled repairman in Jade City, glued together with a special glue.
He thought he had done it perfectly, hiding it from the world, and even his father and second uncle didn't notice, but Ye Feng revealed it.
A whole piece of jade cannot be compared with a piece of broken jade in two in terms of efficacy and value. If this were to get out, not only would it not be able to harm Liu Feifei, it would also affect the reputation of Chu's Jewelry.
He sneered and said, "Doctor Ye, you are definitely a miracle doctor when it comes to treating patients, but I'm afraid you are just an outsider when it comes to jade."
Ye Feng sneered and said, "You said I'm an amateur. Well, you have many appraisers in your jewelry company. Find one and ask him to appraise it to see if the jade pendant is intact or broken."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Master Chu's face. Master Chu felt his face burning and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He spent an entire night thinking about this scheme of misidentifying and framing someone, and he even chose a piece of jade that had been dropped before, so that he would not feel heartbroken even if the pendant was broken by Liu Feifei.
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Okay, Yawen, go find an appraiser."
At this time, some people who were curious were already shouting, "Someone has called the appraiser, and he will be here soon."
Master Chu smiled awkwardly, and seemed to be calmer. He sat on the rattan chair and picked up the cloisonné teacup beside him: "That's great. Let's wait a while, and the answer will be revealed soon."
Ye Feng sneered. This Mr. Chu had great self-control. The news that the Chu Group was passing off broken jade as beautiful jade would spread like wildfire, but he actually still had the mind to drink tea. Perhaps he was drinking a cup of tea to calm his nerves.
Ye Feng also picked up the teacup and took a sip of the clear blue tea.
After a while, a jewelry appraiser hurried over with a small toolbox.
The appraiser was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a neat work uniform and gold-rimmed glasses. His bronze badge also had his position and name printed on it: Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu first took out his intermediate jade appraiser license, which was issued by the Yudu Jade Association. To become an intermediate appraiser, one must pass five examinations. The examination requirements are very strict, comparable to the bar examination and the civil service examination. This license alone is worth one million.
Many people knew Zheng Yu and had no doubts about his qualifications.
Master Chu smiled and pointed at the pendant in Yawen's hand and said, "Teacher Zheng, can you please identify whether this jade pendant is intact or has cracks?"
Appraiser Zheng Yu nodded to Mr. Chu and walked gently to Yawen. He first put on a headlamp, turned on the switch of the headlamp, and a beam of infrared light shot out.
He also put on a pair of transparent plastic gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints on the jade and to prevent the temperature of human hands from causing changes in the jade and affecting identification.
He gently picked up the pendant in Yawen's hand and carefully observed it with a magnifying glass. He turned it in circles while looking at it. Soon he said with a sigh, "There is a texture. It looks like it has been cracked."
Everyone turned their attention to him, took out their phones and took pictures intently.
Some people watched the excitement with great interest, some people felt sorry for the Chu Group, and some people gloated over the misfortune. The Chu Group actually used broken jade as beautiful jade. This was big news.
The appraiser quickly looked at the beautiful jade pendant and put it back into Yawen's hand.
Zheng Yu said confidently: "Oh, I can tell you with confidence that this is a flawless jade. I just saw a vein, it is a naturally generated vein, not a crack."
After hearing what the appraiser said, some people felt proud, some were disappointed, and some even sighed.
Yawen and Master Chu looked relaxed. Master Chu glanced at Ye Feng and a smug smile appeared on his lips. "You little brat, you want to fight me? I've thought of this scenario a long time ago."
Ye Feng was a little surprised. His divine eyes had clearly discovered a crack in it. This appraiser was simply talking nonsense.
Ye Feng discovered that the appraiser and Mr. Chu had an eye contact, which was very secretive.
It was then that he suddenly realized. No wonder the appraiser Zheng Yu came so quickly. He had just mentioned that he wanted to find an appraiser and he arrived in a short while, as if he had been waiting outside for a long time.
Moreover, after hearing that they were going to find an appraiser, Mr. Chu's expression relaxed instead. He sat down and drank tea. It was obvious that this appraiser, Zheng Yu, was arranged by Mr. Chu a long time ago.
Zheng Yu has a good reputation in the jade industry, and his appraisals have always been the recognized standard in the industry. Who would have thought that he had already been bribed by Master Chu.
Master Chu walked over to Yawen and picked up the jade pendant. "Since it has been appraised, there is nothing to argue about. The commercial has almost been shot. We should put these jade jewelry away. If one of them is broken, our loss will be huge."
Just as Ye Feng was about to question the authentication of the pendant, Master Chu's fingers slipped and the jade pendant fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The whole audience was in an uproar. This was a jade pendant worth tens of millions, and it was broken into pieces just like that.
Master Chu pretended to be heartbroken: "Oh, my jade pendant."
Everyone cast comforting glances towards Master Chu.
Liu Feifei said to Ye Feng with a look of regret: "That jade pendant is my favorite among all these jades. It's a pity that it was broken like this."
"Don't be sorry. I will give you a jade pendant that is a hundred times more beautiful than that pendant."
Liu Feifei smiled and said, "Don't brag, that pendant is worth tens of millions."
Ye Feng sneered in his heart, how shameless! It was clearly a piece of broken jade, but he treated it as if it were a beautiful jade that had been broken into pieces, and tried to destroy the evidence. He acted so well. This Mr. Chu could go and receive an Oscar.
Master Chu pretended to be regretful and went to the bathroom. Someone laughed quietly and gloated that this time Master Chu was going to hide in the bathroom and cry.
Ye Feng glanced at the man, thinking how stupid he was. Master Chu was probably hiding in the bathroom having fun.
In the bathroom, Ye Feng met Master Chu. They looked at each other and Master Chu put on a hypocritical smile.
"Doctor Ye, you are here to laugh at me, right? Do you think I will cry here?"
Facing the mirror, Ye Feng arranged his hair and sneered bluntly: "Mr. Chu, you broke the pendant, not only did you not lose anything, you probably even made a small profit. Your trick of destroying the body and covering up the traces is really amazing. Others thought you broke a beautiful jade, but I know you broke a piece of broken jade."
