Chapter 583 - The Result Made by a Carrot (1/2)

When everyone heard that, they focused their eyes on Choe Hongseong. Many people present were nervous. They didn’t know if the appraiser brought by Koryo would favor his own side.

Choe Hongseong did not care about this and continued, “Mr. Kim Daegeun is the most famous diplomat of our country from more than 500 years ago. His calligraphy had a unique style.

“After my appraisal just now, this national letter and the receipt were both written by Mr. Kim Daegeun, and the seal is also the royal seal of Koryo.

“In addition to these two points, these two scrolls are antique. I’m sure that they are ancient objects from more than 500 years ago.

“Generally speaking, I think both this national letter and this receipt are authentic!”

“Ahem… Ahem… Ahem…Ahem…”

Liu Qigong coughed more violently this time. “These things were made by Qin Haodong in less than five minutes.”

However, he would not dare to tell his student these things in his whole life. Otherwise, Choe Hongseong’s belief in antiques would be completely changed.

After hearing this result, all the audience present cheered. They didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would really bring out the receipt for the Compendium of Materia Medica. Now they could take back the book!

Li Mintae’s face was full of disbelief. He said with a pale face, “Impossible, that’s impossible. Mr. Choe, did you make a mistake?”

Choe Hongseong’s face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, “Professor Li, you can deny it, and you can refuse to return the Compendium of Materia Medica. But you can’t insult my work, nor can you insult the conclusion of my appraisal.

“I can guarantee you with my identity as an appraiser that these two things are real. As for whether you will return the Compendium of Materia Medica or not, that’s your personal credit problem.”

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. This guy was really nice. Not only did he give the result he wanted, but he also gave himself an assistant. Now, under the watchful eyes of the public, it would be impossible for Li Mintae to go back on his word.

Su Hui’s expression was strange. In her opinion, Qin Haodong had solved this problem with a carrot.

“You can’t deny it. If you borrow something, you have to return it. Hurry up and return the Compendium of Materia Medica to us…”

“Your appraiser said that the receipt is genuine. Is there any reason for you not to return it?”

“Li, you don’t want to regret it in front of the whole world, do you?”

“I… I…”

Li Mintae looked at the excited audience, looked at Alice next to him, and then looked at the camera above his head. Although he didn’t want to return it, he finally said with difficulty under pressure, “I have promised that I’ll return it to Huaxia.”

After that, he pushed the Compendium of Materia Medica to Qin Haodong reluctantly.

Qin Haodong took the ancient book and handed it to Liu Qigong. “Please hand it over to the country!”

Liu Qigong held the book and said excitedly, “Little Qin, I thank you on behalf of all the Huaxia people!”

He knew very well the value of the book. If it was sold at the auction, it would cost at least hundreds of millions or even billions. It was really precious that Qin Haodong could return such a precious thing to the country without hesitation.

“Great! The national treasure is coming back finally!”

“Good job! The Medical Sage is good…”

“The Compendium of Materia Medica belongs to Huaxia, and Li Shizhen is also a man of Huaxia…”

When Li Mintae saw that his family’s treasure that had been passed down for countless generations was taken away, his face was pale and he felt like his heart was bleeding.

Originally, he thought that it was a foolproof strategy, but he didn’t expect it to be easily crushed by the young man in front of him, and he even lost the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Qin Haodong looked at him and said with a smile, “Professor Li, since the book has been returned, this receipt is yours. You’d better keep it well. It’s an old object from five or six hundred years ago. If you take it out to be auctioned, it can be sold for a lot of money.”

Looking at the two scrolls in front of him, Li Mintae really felt bad in his heart.

He would never take these two things to auction because it showed that their medical skills were not as good as Huaxia’s in ancient times.

After the appraisal, Liu Qigong and Choe Hongseong stepped off the platform together. They sat in the seats with the audience, and the debate on the stage continued.

As the teacher and the person in charge of the team today, Su Hongbo was full of joy at this time. He was very proud.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to take the Medical Sage to this exchange. Otherwise, this big trouble would really have been difficult to resolve. Maybe he would have lost face in front of the whole world.
