"Hey buddy, I'm being straight with you here."
Guan Shanhai looked at Piao Daosi with a sincere expression, trying to convince him with his eyes.
He pointed to the big turtle mark Xu Fan had left on Piao Daosi's face and said, "The reason I'm saying you lucked out is right there."
"Wh... what?"
Piao Daosi was completely confused by Guan Shanhai's words.
What's up with this turtle on my face?
With questions in his mind, he heard Guan Shanhai explain, "You might not know Xu's true identity."
"Huh?"
Looking at Guan Shanhai's serious face, Piao Daosi was bewildered. Isn't that guy just a broke student?
True identity? What the heck!
"Actually..."
Guan Shanhai looked earnestly at Piao Daosi and said, "Xu Fan is a famous master painter here in Huaxia."
"Master Xu specializes in painting animals, and turtles are his forte. Recently, his 'Old Turtle Erging' painting fetched a whopping twenty million!"
"As for this 'Divine Turtle Drawing' on your face, both in form and spirit, it surpasses the previous piece. If it were to be auctioned, do you think it'd go for less than twenty million?"
To make his story more convincing, Guan Shanhai even invoked Master Xu's na.
After he finished, he patted Piao Daosi's shoulder and said, "Buddy, you're really lucky. Master Xu personally made you a painting, and he left it on your face for free!"
"So tell , charging you sixteen million, isn't it like you made a fortune?"
"I..."
Upon hearing Guan Shanhai's words, Piao Daosi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!
Damn it, this is too ridiculous!
What master painter? What divine turtle drawing?
What's on my face is just a big turtle that even a three-year-old could draw!
Trying to swindle ! You're trying to swindle !
"Officer! This guy! This guy is one of them!"
"Quick! Arrest both of them for !"
These words were so ridiculous, even ghosts wouldn't believe them. Why would Piao Daosi?
Seeing the police nearby, he started demanding.
"..."
Piao Daosi was yelling at Guan Shanhai so loudly that the surrounding police nearly pinned him to the ground.
Why's this guy still asking for trouble here?
Seeing Guan Shanhai's look, several police officers understood imdiately.
"Stop shouting!"
The lead officer glared at Piao Daosi, making him almost sink to the ground.
"If you scare Master Xu away, can you handle the cost?"
"You got Master Xu's authentic work; you're already lucking out!"
"If you keep pursuing this, fine, first peel your face off! What's painted on it is a cultural treasure from our Huaxia country."
"I..."
Seeing the police acting as if it were true, Piao Daosi was completely dumbfounded.
Did I report a false alarm?
Given that he was in the police station before, Piao Daosi really started to doubt if these police were fake.
Now everyone has the sa story, leaving him totally confused.
Could it be that this guy is really a low-key, unheard-of master painter?
Twenty million, for this turtle of mine, ugh!
This turtle on my face can sell for twenty million?
Is it really worth that much?
"..."
Whether it's true or not, Piao Daosi wasn't sure, but since Xu Fan carried the title of master painter, pursuing him further might not end well for Piao Daosi.
Thinking about swallowing this bitter pill, Piao Daosi was quite distressed.
But no matter how distressed, there's no solution. If he keeps causing trouble here, the police might just demand the remaining paynt for the turtle on his face to Xu Fan.
"Okay, let's just settle this matter."
"Officers, sorry for making you run around."
Escape is the best strategy among the thirty-six; Piao Daosi grudgingly swallowed the bitter pill, bid farewell to the police, and turned to leave.
As he walked back to his car, he didn't dare touch the "Divine Turtle Drawing" on his face.
This artwork cost him sixteen million, and he didn't want to accidentally scratch it.
Whatever happens, he needs to get an expert to authenticate it first.
Once the validity is confird, then he can decide how to deal with the painting.
...
"Is this guy planning to use his face to print pictures?"
Watching Piao Daosi's car speed away, Xu Fan muttered to himself in amusent.
Never expected Guan Shing's dad to pull off sothing like this.
Whether Piao Daosi believed the ruse or not, Xu Fan couldn't tell, but Piao Daosi now must be incredibly annoyed.
You don't ss with people like this.
Judging by Guan Shanhai still talking to the police, Piao Daosi won't be free from troubles anyti soon.
"Alright, Secretary, we understand."
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
After Guan Shanhai's instructions, the police departed, and he turned back to Xu Fan.
"Okay, kiddo, I've sorted this out for you, no need to worry."
"If there's nothing else, you can head ho."
"Haha, alright then, Uncle Guan, I'll be heading off."
Hearing Guan Shanhai's words, Xu Fan chuckled.
If this guy hadn't suddenly popped up, Xu Fan might've already forgotten about him, so why worry?
Nonetheless, Guan Shanhai's help was kept in mind.
It was already getting late, so after greeting Guan Shanhai, Xu Fan drove away from the hospital.
Leaving the hospital, speeding away, Xu Fan recalled Guan Shanhai saying earlier about the guy who stole the Ten-Handed Sword.
"Maybe I can help them catch that guy."
Alone again, Xu Fan thought about it and had a new idea.
This guy is looting secret manuals and weapons everywhere, how can I escape from it?
You know, in Jinling, when it cos to martial arts, few can compare to .
How can he not be interested in ?
Figuring this out, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.
The Huang Family is already giving him a headache, and now another guy shows up.
Heaven isn't giving a mont's rest at all, is it?
With heavy responsibilities and a long way to go, Xu Fan sighed, decided to leave these issues behind and thought about going ho to cuddle with his girlfriend Keren.
What's ant to co will co; thinking too much doesn't help.
Gripping the steering wheel, Xu Fan focused on driving.
Soon enough, he was near his ho.
"Huh?"
As he was about to reach ho, his car lights shone forward, revealing a figure standing directly ahead...
