Tang Jinchuan timed his visit thinking that at the end of the year, Jubao Pavilion would be busy with many things, and Li Quan and Qiao Zhenhuan would certainly be overwhelmed. Amid the chaos, they might accept the counterfeit painting without scrutinizing it closely.
Tang Jinchuan's schemes were elaborate, but luck wasn't on his side. The moment he walked in, he bumped into Huo Sining, who came by on a whim. She is sharp-eyed and doesn't tolerate deception; with the Heavenly Eye aiding her, her vision is even sharper than a Carbon-14 Detector. She immediately spotted the trick in the painting.
Li Quan offered ten thousand yuan to purchase the painting. Tang Jinchuan hesitated, hoping Huo Sining would raise the price, but she just smiled at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
