Small Farmer Medical God-Chapter 1628 - 1623: He Was Stunned

"This Hu Xiaobei really looks young!"

"That’s what I mean!"

"Probably just an ordinary person who doesn’t know anything!"

After scrutinizing Hu Xiaobei for a while, the people standing with Zhou Dachuan began whispering quickly.

He’s green around the edges, can’t handle things well!

They understood this, so they particularly looked down on the especially young-looking Hu Xiaobei.

In their eyes, compared to Zhou Dachuan, let alone themselves, he was severely lacking.

Hu Xiaobei heard all their mockery, but he didn’t care and didn’t plan to explain.

A minute later, Hu Xiaobei appeared calmly in front of Zhou Dachuan.

Glancing at Zhou Dachuan’s mocking face, Hu Xiaobei spoke coolly in a voice only Zhou Dachuan could hear.

"You’re playing with fire, do you know that?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s chilling address, Zhou Dachuan scoffed, "I’m playing with fire? I think you’re the one playing with fire! Now, if you kneel down and apologize to me, I might forgive you. If you don’t, you’re definitely doomed today."

Detecting the icy threat in his voice, Hu Xiaobei smiled instead of getting angry, "Someone will meet their end, but it definitely won’t be me!"

"Since you’re still being defiant, I’ll watch how you meet your end!"

With that said, he quickly clapped his hands, "Now, Expert Hu is here, everyone clap and welcome him to authenticate for us."

Hearing the sarcasm in Zhou Dachuan’s words, everyone on his side quickly began clapping.

Many even started whistling...

Seeing these people cooperating with him, Zhou Dachuan smiled and soon looked at the utterly composed Hu Xiaobei, saying, "Master Hu, you may begin now."

Hu Xiaobei nodded indifferently and headed straight to the three artifacts.

From afar, Hu Xiaobei had already used his special vision to inspect them.

While examining the wooden box and porcelain dish, Hu Xiaobei didn’t notice anything unusual. However, a certain oddity caught his eye when observing the painting.

It was because of this observation that Hu Xiaobei had remained so calm before.

Now, after approaching it, Hu Xiaobei scrutinized it once more.

This time, Hu Xiaobei was utterly certain of his suspicion...

This painting indeed had issues...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei staring intently, Zhou Dachuan sneered and commented, "Master Hu really is impressive, doesn’t even need to touch it, just a glance and he can determine its authenticity!"

At such mocking comments, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at the painting’s owner...

Seeing the owner watching him nervously, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and asked calmly, "May I have a closer look at this painting?"

"Of course!"

The owner responded quickly.

Previously, Zhou Dachuan had claimed it was fake...

He was despondent...

Now, hearing Hu Xiaobei’s request, he agreed immediately without hesitation.

Because he hoped Hu Xiaobei might offer a different judgment.

Although he knew the likelihood was slim, there was still some possibility.

After his agreement, Hu Xiaobei picked it up, weighed it lightly, then quickly unrolled it.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei being so serious, Zhou Dachuan wore a mocking smile...

He believed Hu Xiaobei was just putting on a show there.

Because in reality, he was just an amateur who understood nothing...

Hu Xiaobei was aware of his thoughts, but paid them no mind!

Once unrolled with care, Hu Xiaobei smiled calmly...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei smile, Zhou Dachuan’s eye twitched.

"Could it be that he’s really seen something?"

With that thought, he quickly glanced again at the scroll Hu Xiaobei held.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze...

He knew it was impossible for Hu Xiaobei to discover anything because it was a simple fake.

"Surely just making a show!"

Thinking this way, he loudly said to Hu Xiaobei, "Master Hu, you’ve seemingly discovered something, since that’s the case, share it with us!"

"Exactly!"

"Do share!"

"If you can’t, stop wasting our time!"

"Indeed!"

The people standing with Zhou Dachuan noticed there was tension between Zhou Dachuan and Hu Xiaobei...

Thus, they naturally mocked Hu Xiaobei wildly...

Ignoring them, Hu Xiaobei turned to the painting’s owner, "In the past, many people used canvas treatments to better preserve their paintings, right?"

"Right, that’s something many particularly enjoy doing!"

Upon hearing this reply, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly, "This painting has been treated."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, everyone looked at the painting...

Zhou Dachuan glanced at it too, soon jeering, "Master Hu, are you treating us like idiots or blind people? The canvas marks are so obvious, we all see them. Can you say something less evident?"

At Zhou Dachuan’s words, Hu Xiaobei didn’t respond but gently placed it on the table.

After setting it down, Hu Xiaobei looked at Manager Tai, "Manager Tai, do you have a relatively sharp utility knife here?"

"Utility knife? Yes!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Not knowing why Hu Xiaobei needed this, but he quickly had a subordinate fetch one.

Then he quickly handed it to Hu Xiaobei.

"What’s this guy planning!"

As Hu Xiaobei accepted the knife, Zhou Dachuan furrowed his brow...

Thinking but failing to figure it out, he sarcastically asked Hu Xiaobei, "Hu Xiaobei, what’s your intention? Are you planning to slit your wrists right here?"

Giving Zhou Dachuan a cold look filled with mockery, Hu Xiaobei retorted icily, "Just watch carefully and you’ll know! Honestly, if one of us has to slit their wrists, it definitely won’t be me!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s brimming rebuttal, Zhou Dachuan exasperatedly clenched his fist, "You’re full of yourself! Fine, I’ll just wait and see what you can do!"

"You’ll find out shortly!"

Responding thus, Hu Xiaobei swiftly raised the extremely sharp utility knife in his hand...

A second later, the knife pierced through the top of the painting...

"Idiot, so you’re actively ruining someone’s property, you..."

Seeing Hu Xiaobei frantically tear through the painting, Zhou Dachuan ridiculed hysterically, but before finishing, he suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, eyes wide in shock...

Soon, he roared madly, "This is impossible, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!"
