What if My Brother is Too Good?

The item made by Da Fangqi from Country Y, in fact, had already been replaced by Mo Ze by some underhanded methods before it reached the auction stage.

Right now, the item was a high imitation of the real item. Although it was quite difficult to see the difference, a fake item will always be a fake item. It will never be authentic.

The rules and regulations of the art market in this era were not perfect. It was also very difficult to verify the authenticity of artworks. This was especially true for artworks that originated from centuries ago, it was also not uncommon for experts to fail to realize that their artworks were fake.

Some auction companies in China did not have to bear any responsibility if the item they auctioned out happened to be a fake, so there had been many cases where they would still auction out the item even though they knew it was a fake.

This meant that even if a buyer bought a counterfeit product, the buyer would have no insurance, so he or she could only bear the loss.

However, before the auction item was switched by Mo Ze, the item was authentic. Since the authenticity of this item involved a huge amount of money, Huo Yusen hired a team of experts to confirm the authenticity of this item before it was auctioned off. But he would have never imagined that Mo Ze would have the nerve to switch out the real item for a fake under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Mo Ze had many capable people working under him, and he had always made sure not to leave any clues his underhanded dealings behind. Even if Huo Yusen found out that it was Mo Ze that had switched out the genuine item for a fake, the damage would’ve already been done. The business that Huo Yusen had would’ve already landed in Mo Ze’s hand. Today’s surveillance cameras had already all been damaged and there are no eyewitnesses. Huo Yusen would not be able to find any direct evidence that would indicate that Mo Ze was involved.

As a result, Mo Ze will be able to escape from this matter unharmed and become the final winner.

Although Mo Ze’s methods were ingenious, his methods were unhanded. As such, Huo Wu believed that she wouldn’t feel any guilt even if she destroyed Mo Ze’s original plan to steal Huo Yusen’s business.

But at this moment, Huo Wu realized that her previous actions were too impulsive. She hadn’t thought of a perfect excuse to stop Huo Yusen from bidding for this item.

When she had impulsively told him to not bid for the item, she already started to have some regrets. But since she had spoken those words, like spilled water, she cannot take them back or undo it.

Huo Yusen’s expression did not change after hearing her requisition, instead, he asked faintly, “Why?”

Huo Yusen was still leaning towards him, the two of them were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing.

She lowered her eyes and didn’t dare to meet Huo Yusen’s gaze. Because her eyes were lowered, she could see Huo Yusen’s thin lips and delicate chin. They were sitting extremely close to each other, so close that she could even smell his mint aftershave faintly.

Huo Yusen didn’t receive a response from Huo Wu for a long time, so he whispered again, “Hm?”

Huo Wu’s heart tightened.

She naturally can’t tell him that she knew that the auction item was fake. It was too unrealistic. She also couldn’t tell him too much, otherwise, she will expose herself and cause Huo Yusen to suspect her. So, she could only tactfully give him some advice while maintaining her secrets.

Huo Wu was very nervous at this moment, and her brain was working at a rapid speed.

How should she explain it?

Finally, a light bulb suddenly went off her head and her acting skills activated. She was able to vividly portray herself as an innocent and naive wealthy young lady. “Brother, this item is so expensive. What if it turns out to be a fake?”
