“Bang!”
Li Baoquan was shocked when he saw what Chen Shanbiao had taken out. He threw the cup on the ground and didn’t even know it.
His expression was full of disbelief, and the surprise and doubt in his eyes were obvious!
He pointed at the stone bead in Chen Shanbiao’s hand and stammered in shock,
” This… This … This is…’
Chen Shanbiao looked at Li Baoquan’s loss of composure and couldn’t help but reveal a mocking expression. He asked with a mocking sneer, ” What is this? Shouldn’t Young Master Li know better than me?”
Li Baoquan knew it very well, and he knew it very well in his heart. That was why he found it unbelievable.
He had clearly hidden this thing.
But why was it in Chen Shanbiao’s hands now?
This was simply impossible.
Oh, wait, maybe Chen Shanbiao had taken a fake to fool him.
Yes, that must be the case.
Soon, he calmed down.
His face darkened, and he asked sternly, ” Chen Shanbiao, I respect you as Yongfei’s father and have always been polite to you. But why did you lie to me with a fake? Do you really think you can save Chen Yongfei like this?”
Chen Shanbiao knew very well that the thing in his hand was actually Li Baoquan’s.
Because Lin Yuelan had told him clearly that this thing was taken out of the secret compartment in Li Baoquan’s study.
Chen Shanbiao didn’t know how Lin Yuelan managed to find out where the stone bead was in such a huge Li Residence overnight. However, this matter reminded him that Lin Yuelan’s ability was indeed not to be underestimated.
When Chen Shanbiao heard Li Baoquan’s words, he did not sound angry at all. Instead, he sneered and asked, ” Fake? Young Master Li, you really have good eyes. You only took a look and said it was fake without even confirming it. I really admire you!”
His words were obviously full of sarcasm.
Because he knew very well that Li Baoquan was feeling guilty.
Chen Shanbiao continued, ” Young Master Li, I’m also very curious! Didn’t you say that you lost something at the Gold Origin Auction House? Since that was the case, Young Master Li should be happy that I have found this thing and returned it to you. But why does Young Master Li’s expression seem to be unhappy that I found your Li family’s treasure and insist that it’s fake?”
At this point, without waiting for Li Baoquan to refute, he continued to ask sharply, ” Could it be that the item that Young Master Li asked Fei ‘er to auction back then was also fake? ” Then, he shouted sharply and asked, ” Li Baoquan, tell me, did you give a fake stone bead to Fei-er back then? ”
When Li Baoquan heard Chen Shanbiao’s words, he couldn’t refute him at all. He didn’t know how to refute him.
He muttered in shock, ” How is that possible? How is that possible?”
Chen Shanbiao frowned and asked directly, ” How is that not possible? Young Master Li, tell me clearly!”
Li Baoquan was immediately jolted awake.
Then, he reacted quickly. He frowned and asked in confusion, ” How is it that possible? Uncle Chen, didn’t you say that the stone bead has been lost? Now, you suddenly came to my door with this thing. Is it so strange for me to suspect that it’s fake?”
Looking at the smooth and shiny surface of the stone beads and the obvious damage on one of them, he knew that it was obviously the stone bead he had hidden at home.
Or was it his stone bead?
Li Baoquan immediately felt uneasy.
His doubts grew.
When Chen Shanbiao heard this, he echoed, ” You have a point.
Then, he changed the topic and said, ” Since Young Master Li denied that this thing is fake without even confirming it, I’ll get someone to verify whether this thing is real or fake. Then we’ll know if this is the one that Young Master Li lost.”
When he heard that Chen Shanbiao was going to call someone to verify the authenticity of the stone bead, his breathing suddenly stopped. The uneasiness in his heart grew.
He rolled his eyes and said to Chen Shanbiao, ” Uncle Chen, I need to go to the toilet. Please wait for a moment. How about that? ”
Chen Shanbiao nodded.
Li Baoshan left in a hurry. However, he did not go to the toilet but to his study.
After entering the study, he twisted the inkstone on the table. Then, with a creak, he turned to a secret compartment on the wall.
Li Baoquan immediately went forward to check.
However, he saw an empty secret compartment.
He immediately felt the world spin and almost fainted!
