As he spoke, he handed the box over to Lin Jing. His eyes flashed with an evil smile as he took the silk cloth and wrapped it in it.

After he was done, he said to Lin Jing with a calm expression, "Alright, return the jade carving to me."

Lin Jing didn't mind. He handed the box over, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand. He suddenly lost control of the box and helplessly watched as it fell.

The jade carving inside had shattered into dozens of pieces right in front of Lin Jing's eyes. He was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

The young man pretended to be surprised and shouted loudly. He immediately rushed over and picked up the broken jade in the box and cried, "It's broken, it's all broken. What do I do now? The ten million worth item is gone just like that!"

Lin Jing was still feeling guilty as he consoled him, "That … friend, I'm really sorry. It was my carelessness …"

"What? You're not careful? My family only has this one family heirloom. Now that you've thrown me into such a state, how can I still sell it? You have to compensate me. Right, you just said ten million, right, that's ten million, not a single cent less! " The young man suddenly stood up, looking at Lin Jing with bloodshot eyes.

It was true that he had broken it, but it was definitely not worth ten million. He had only said it based on the price of the real thing, and most importantly, what had happened to that inexplicable pain in his hand just now?

As he was thinking, the young man suddenly took out a cell phone from his chest and pointed it at Lin Jing as he viciously said, "Don't try to act so shamelessly. Let me tell you, I've been recording it all along. There's evidence! If you don't give me 10 million today, I won't be able to justify it!"

As Lin Jing heard this, he seemed to react. He stared at this person and said, "Friend, you couldn't have come here specifically to touch porcelain, right?"

"Pfft, you're spitting blood. Who touched porcelain? It was you who broke my thing. What, now you want to not admit it?" Such a big jade carving like that, you said it would be worth ten million, it won't even be worth a single bit less. " The man said with a smirk on his face.

Lin Jing's heart sank. This man had been shrewd and calculating from the start until now, and had probably thought of this last move a long time ago. That meant that the source of the pain in his hand was also the same, but he recorded that the jade carving was indeed broken in his hand.

Being tricked like this caused Lin Jing's heart to feel uncomfortable. He felt a burning anger in his chest.

"Yo, why is there a good show here?" At this moment, a voice that sounded like a duck's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

A middle-aged man with round wooden glasses, a classical robe, and glossy hair parted, entered the room. He looked like a scoundrel, as thin as a stick, like a square Q in a poker card.

This person had arrived at such a coincidental moment that Lin Jing had instantly treated him as a young man's accomplice. By then, three people would be present. Two of them were in the same group. If he pretended to be a spectator and get certified, he would be even more speechless.

Just as he was thinking about this, this person suddenly looked at the broken jade in the box on the floor. A light flashed in his eyes, and he smilingly said, "Oh, that's rare, I didn't think there would be such a good thing. It's such a pity, why did it fall so badly …"

As he said that, he extended his hand and picked it up with a look of pity. He let out a "tsk tsk tsk" sound. When Lin Jing saw this, he confirmed his own thoughts. These two people were definitely in the same group. They wanted to trick him.

At this moment, the young man's face flashed with a sneer: "Bro, you have a good eye, this is a treasure passed down from my ancestors, the treasure that Tang Minghuang gave Yang Yuhuan was originally intended to sell here, yet this person actually fell like this. Say, should I …"

"Ah?" When Tang Minghuang was still alive, would he use the distillation and compression method to make fake jade? "Good boy, the craftsmanship of our ancestors is this amazing?" Before the young man could say anything, QQ suddenly let out a sharp and exaggerated voice. It had a shocked expression on its face, and even jumped a little as it spoke.

Lin Jing's heart stirred. What the hell was going on? Weren't these two in the same group? Why were they still helping him? What was this distillation and compression method?

"Bro, you have to take responsibility for your words. What distillation and compression method? What fake jade? This is clearly an authentic Tang Dynasty antique jade carving. That kid just said it himself, I have video as proof!" The young man's eyes narrowed as he spoke with a gloomy expression.

Square Q had a smile on his face. Although he didn't look like a good person no matter how he looked at it, his words were still human words.

"I don't know if it's an antique of the Tang Dynasty, but this game isn't like jade, little brother. Of course, I can't deny it completely."

As he said this, QQ turned to look at Lin Jing and said, "Little fellow, look carefully, I will give you a lesson today, for free. The real jade is translucent and moist like a pearl, while this thing, although it looks normal on the outside, the inside is murky."

"Such a large piece of jade is rare, but it's not non-existent. When you identify it, the first thing you should do is to appraise it using jewelry, not antiques. After all, this thing has to be a piece of jade before it has a basic value."

When he heard this, Lin Jing's heart was filled with gratitude. This brother's personality and appearance were completely different! He was a master!

"Sir, I would like to ask, what was the distillation and compression method?" With a respectful expression, Lin Jing asked.

The so-called distillation and compression method is a modern technique for making jade, but it's not very perfect. It's more common in the jade producing area of northern Maine, where some jade shops don't have enough material after opening the ores, leaving behind a little bit of water that you can't bear to throw away. Then what do we do, we'll shave them off, the larger ones leave the joint, and the smaller ones use the distillation and compression method to synthesize a piece of material.

"Actually, this thing is very easy to distinguish. What is made usually use more brands. Worst case scenario, it's just making a bracelet and the price on the market is very low. It's just a little more expensive than glass crystal." QQ explained with a smile.

"It's really my first time seeing something as big as this. Only a fool would fall for such a trap. Moreover, this thing has been broken before, and the middle part was stuck with jade glue. If you don't believe me, look here."

At this point, QQ flipped the piece of jade in his hand over, revealing the broken part for Lin Jing to see. However, besides the fact that it was a bit muddy, there weren't any traces of glue on it.

Glancing at the puzzled expression on Lin Jing's face, Square Q chuckled and said, "Young man, you didn't see that right? Jade glue, which is specially used to touch jade, how could it be easy for you to see? But to verify it is very simple, you just need to take out a lighter and you will understand. "

"If it were an authentic jade mask, although the surface would be scorched black, but as long as you gently wipe it with a cloth, it would immediately regain its watery look."

"However, if it's jade glue, then it would be the same as when you ordered the tape. The black lump is recognizable to everyone."

The young man couldn't sit still any longer. With a menacing look on his face, he threatened, "Old man, do you know why my grandma has lived 99 lives?"

"I know, don't meddle in other people's business, but I'm just a talker, what can you do?" Squares Q said with a playful expression.

"Fine, old man, just you wait, don't let me meet you again, or else I'll tear your bones apart!" The young man said fiercely.

This was a place of entertainment, so he didn't dare to act too arrogantly here. He left dejectedly without taking anything else.

Lin Jing looked at his back and let out a sigh of relief. He looked at QQ with gratitude, "Sir, thank you very much for your help today. Otherwise, I really would have been speechless."

"Haha, young man, it's serious. It's normal for you to be cheated. There are a lot of people like this in the Arts City. You must be new. Just be careful in the future." Squares laughed heartily as he spoke, looking as if he didn't care at all.

Lin Jing's heart stirred slightly. He then said, "Sir, please take a seat. I'll pour you a cup of tea."

As he spoke, Lin Jing picked up the things on the floor and placed them on the table. After a short while, he poured some tea and placed it in front of Squares Q, "Sir, may I know what your name is?"

"Feng Yuqing, just call me Brother Feng." Feng Yuqing said calmly.

"Mr. Feng, I have another question for you. Just now, when I was holding this box, it was just fine. Why did it suddenly hurt so much that I couldn't hold it anymore?" Lin Jing asked as he looked at the wooden box with a puzzled expression.

Let me tell you, this box is not an ordinary box. In the ancient times, this box was called the 'Death Giving Treasure Box', and it was specially used by the Emperor to assassinate generals who wield military power and pose a great threat to him. Feng Yuqing glanced at the wooden box.

"From the appearance of the box, there shouldn't be any problems, but there is a mechanism on the switch. After pressing the button, a sharp needle will pop out from both sides of the box. It is certain that the needle will be able to pierce into the flesh."

"After the needle is finished, it will immediately shrink back. From the appearance, it can't be seen at all. As long as you apply poison on the needle, it can instantly kill you!"

After hearing Feng Yuqing's words, Lin Jing's complexion immediately changed.
