57 The Lost Famous Painting of Pica.s.so

In the original owner’s study room, there were all kinds of oil paintings, landscape paintings, calligraphy works, and sketches.

Of course, they were basically all cheap counterfeits that weren’t worth much.

It could be seen that the original owner wanted to put on an elegant look.

However, a ‘philosopher’ once said, “Elegance is not an act, but grandeur is an act.”

Culture was something that could not be faked.

Ye Feng did not have time to tease the original owner’s taste. He immediately went in and started to search carefully.

Seeing him like this, Shen Baitian found it funny. “What are you looking for? You can’t be thinking of finding an authentic work here, right? I advise you to give up. I’ve already seen it. All of them are imitations. Not a single one is real.”

Ye Feng was unmoved. “What if there is a miracle?”

Shen Baitian was completely speechless. “Then you might as well buy a lottery ticket. The chances of that are higher than this.”

Ye Feng ignored her and continued to search.

After searching for about ten minutes, Shen Baitian was already a little impatient.

At this time, Ye Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened.

In the original owner’s bookshelf, there was an unopened box, which was already covered in a layer of dust.

Ye Feng immediately took off the box, blew off the dust, and opened it carefully.

Shen Baitian was already a little angry. “Ye Feng, don’t waste your time here. If you can find a valuable painting here, I’ll eat all the paintings here.”

At this time, she saw Ye Feng slowly unfurling the painting in the box.

An oil painting that looked rather aged was immediately presented.

There was a girl wearing a red hat. She had no expression on her face and no fluctuations in her emotions. She just sat there calmly in a daze.

Shen Baitian’s eyes immediately widened.

She had received a very good artistic influence since she was young, so she was quite knowledgeable about oil painting.

In her eyes, this painting was completely different from the other imitations in the study.

An indescribable feeling emerged in her heart.

“Wait a minute, I’ll take a photo first.”

After looking at the painting carefully for a while, Shen Baitian was a little surprised and suspicious.

She quickly took out her phone and took a picture, then sent it to an appraisal master she knew.

But Ye Feng did not doubt the authenticity of this painting.

This was because a system notification had already sounded in his mind. [Congratulations, Host. You have completed the treasure-hunting navigation mission. You are rewarded with 10 apartment buildings in Bingshan District, worth a total of 1 billion yuan.]

Ye Feng could not help but exclaim at the generosity of the system.

Ten apartment buildings in one go. This was to make him a ‘public renting company’ and never return.

Just as he was pleasantly surprised, Shen Baitian also received a reply from the appraisal master: “Young Lady Shen, where did you get this painting?”

The master appraiser sent a voice message, and his excitement could be heard.

“It’s my friend’s,” Shen Baitian hurriedly replied. “I’d like you to verify its authenticity.”

The master appraiser was a little excited. “Of course it’s real. This is Pica.s.so’s ‘The Girl in a Red Hat.’ It has been missing for many years. I didn’t expect it to be in your friend’s hands. Your friend is really a G.o.d!

Shen Baitian glanced at Ye Feng in shock.

This painting was actually real?

This fellow actually managed to pick up a treasure from a pile of junk?

If she hadn’t been there the whole time, she would have doubted the truth of the matter.

“Master Liu, please take a closer look. Are you sure it’s real?”

“I swear on the honor I’ve acc.u.mulated over the years that 99% of this painting is Pica.s.so’s authentic work. Unless the person who counterfeited it is a G.o.d, it is impossible to deceive my eyes.”

“Then how much is this painting worth now?”

“It’s an insult to use money to measure such a great work. However, with my many years of experience, the market price should be at least 500 million.”

Shen Baitian was completely shocked.

This painting was worth 500 million?

She had thought that Ye Feng was a wastrel to spend 30 million to buy this house.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would earn more than ten times.

Was this guy a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, or was he really hiding his true strength?

Ye Feng felt his hair stand on end from her gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Shen Baitian’s beautiful eyes stared at him. “How did you know that there was a priceless oil painting hidden in this study?”

Ye Feng laughed, “How would I know? I was just looking through it, I didn’t expect my luck to be so good.”

Shen Baitian approached him step by step. “You call this good luck? This is simply heaven-defying luck, alright? Sometimes, I wonder if you’re even from Earth.”

Ye Feng started to joke, “Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I am an alien that has infiltrated Earth.”

However, Shen Baitian was not moved by his nonsense. “Tell me the truth. What secret are you hiding?”

Ye Feng stared at her without giving in. “I have many secrets. Do you really want to know?”

The two of them were very close to each other, and they could even feel each other’s breathing.

Shen Baitian’s imposing manner immediately weakened. “Crazy!”

With that said, she turned around to leave.

However, Ye Feng pulled her back and looked down at her delicate little face. “Woman, you’d better not be curious about a man. Curiosity killed the cat. Haven’t you heard that?”

Shen Baitian looked into his eyes at a close distance, and her heart began to race.

Ye Feng slowly lowered his head.

Shen Baitian’s heart was beating faster and faster.

‘What is he doing?’

‘He’s not going to molest me, right?’

‘What should I do now?’

Was she going to push him away?

Still…

“I’m hungry, I’m going to eat.”

Just as Shen Baitian was letting her imagination run wild, she suddenly heard Ye Feng say this.

Then, he let go of her and walked out of the study first.

Shen Baitian looked at his back and felt that he was more and more mysterious.

“Hey, I asked you to investigate Ye Feng’s background. How’s the investigation going?”

“What are you guys doing? It’s been such a long time and there’s still no progress?”

“I don’t want to hear excuses. You’d better give me an answer as soon as possible.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Baitian calmed down and hurriedly caught up with Ye Feng.

‘No matter how many secrets you have…’

‘I’m going to dig them all out!’
