I don’t know who leaked the news of Cheng Jingqi’s hospitalization, and the entire hospitalization department was flooded with people.

Gu Yichen specially chose the back door to enter. Listening to the noisy sound in the hall, she went upstairs directly from the stairs.

In the ward, Yan Shenglin had just turned off the TV. What he hated the most in the past was this kind of public opinion trend that spreads rumors and is untrue. Now he thinks that it is also very good to rely on public opinion to create some attention.

"What are you watching?" Gu Yichen just pushed open the ward door and saw the other party turn off the TV.

Yan Shenglin covered his mouth and coughed lightly, not letting himself show too much pleasure. He said, "He is watching the stick and hit the dog in the water."

Gu Yichen couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not a child, why are you joining in the fun?"

"There are a lot of people coming to the hospital today." Yan Shenglin asked knowingly.

"The lobby downstairs is full of reporters." Gu Yichen said slowly, "Do you think I want to add fuel to the fire?"

"what you up to?"

"The Ru porcelain that Li Hong bought last time should be released." Gu Yichen peeled the apple skin and said calmly.

"Cheng Jingqi should not only sell the porcelain to you."

Gu Yichen smiled without saying a word, cut the apples into pieces and placed them on a plate, "Eat it."

Yan Shenglin picked up the fork and forked a small piece of apple but did not eat it himself, but handed it to her mouth, "You eat it."

Compared to the quietness of the room, there was a mess outside the room.

Cheng Jingqi had not expected that the public opinion trend would come so quickly, and before he could take measures to deal with it, the ward was already full of people.

The vice president of the treasure appraisal association personally arrived at the hospital, and even brought a large number of reporters on his own initiative, hoping that their president could have evidence to clear up the involvement of the fake workshop and to make the treasure appraisal market quiet.

Cheng Jingqi looked at the reporters densely covered with the room, frowned and stared at the vice president with sharp eyes.

Vice President Zhou Xuan was among the reporters and even promised that their treasure appraisal association would never participate in any fraud.

"Mr. Cheng, someone uploaded a video anonymously. It was taken at the entrance of Xishan Village. Although the pixels are not clear, they are identified from the appearance and temperament, which is very close to you. Can you explain it?" The reporter squeezed through the crowd and handed the exposure video he had prepared early on.

Cheng Jingqi glared at him, "I don't need to explain anything, the clear one will clear oneself."

"Mr. Cheng, a gentleman named Li just said that he bought a batch of Ru porcelain a while ago. After the news broke last night, the appraisal agency was immediately sent. Now the appraisal results have come out. It is confirmed that it is a new imitation. Do you know this Mr. Li?" Another reporter rushed forward and exposed the appraisal results of Ru porcelain in front of all media incisive way.

Cheng Jingqi turned black on the spot and shouted, "These are all things that are made out of nothing. I don't know this Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li also said that the last time King Jin was auctioned by you. After it was reported that it was a fake, you took it back at a high price, but you didn't expect that this batch of precious Ru porcelain was also fake. He was very disappointed and specially exposed the appraisal video, hoping that a collector who bought the fakes would send it to the appraisal immediately. Even if it was broken into a pile of scrap in the end, it would have to be cleaned up in the antique market."

Every word of the reporter was written by the reporter, and it seemed that Cheng Jingqi had nothing to do with this matter.

But who is Cheng Jingqi? He can be influenced by others in a few words and become in chaos?

The ward was silent for at least two minutes, and everyone was waiting for Cheng Jingqi's reply, but he kept silent and didn't even hum.

The vice president also did not expect that the press conference would ask these sensitive topics. He thought of immediately diverting his attention. He said, "I don't know why Mr. Cheng was injured? I heard from the doctor that you suffered a gunshot wound?"

Cheng Jingqi lay on the bed calmly, deaf and dumb, and did not answer anything.

"It's strange, why didn't I see Assistant Xue Peixue? He has been with you all the time. It's such a big deal that you are sick and hospitalized. We have been in half an hour since we came in. Is Assistant Xue not here?" The vice president tried to find the topic again.

When Cheng Jingqi mentioned Xue Pei, he couldn't hide his anger. He opened his eyes and stared at the vice president who was chattering and making noise without any expression.

The vice president was glared by the other party, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Cheng Jingqi just glanced at him, and the reporters were as if bees smelling nectar rushed up one by one, saying, "Mr. Cheng heard that the exposure of the fake workshop was because an internal manager found out that he had personally reported the case. Do you know about this?"

Cheng Jingqi's hand hidden under the quilt was involuntarily clenched into a fist. Of course, he knew about this and also knew about this person.

Those who betray him will never let them die.

From the moment they entered this industry, they understood one thing: making money from dead people is not worthy of peace after death.

"Knock, knock." The sudden knock on the door attracted most of the attention.

The next moment, the door of the ward was pushed open from outside.

"Click Click Click Click." In an instant, the spotlight flashed violently.

Xue Pei was wearing a clean suit, his complexion was not very good, and his eyes were covered with black frost. He must have not had a good rest for several days in a row.

When the vice president saw the visitor, he couldn't wait to squeeze through the crowd and ran over, "Assistant Xue, why are you here now?"

Xue Pei lowered his head and did not reply.

The vice president was a little anxious, "What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Jingqi stared at the silent Xue Pei. Judging from his physical movements, he was not just about to appear in the ward.

As expected, Xue Pei faced all the shots and took the initiative to admit his involvement with the fake workshop. He said

"I took the initiative to surrender to the police."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spotlight flickered even more violently, and he almost wanted to submerge Xue Pei.

The vice president looked shaking and was almost shocked to the point of being speechless.

Cheng Jingqi was furious and said, "Xue Pei, you'd better think clearly before you talk about it."

The reporters pointed the camera at Cheng Jingqi, who was in chaos again, and it could be seen that he had lost his composure.

Xue Pei remained calm and said, "It's over this point, and I don't intend to hide anything. In the past few years, we have been running those workshops. From selecting materials to making old things in the later stages, Mr. Cheng personally determined that every piece of unearthed porcelain can be used to make the real ones."

In the ward, there was a silence.

Cheng Jingqi was gasping heavily, and a stinging pain came from the wound, reminding him that this was reality, not a dream.

Xue Pei lowered his head when he knew he was guilty and said, "I have been tortured by conscience over the years, and I have thought about quitting countless times, but it is not possible. No one who chooses to give up midway will have a good end."

"Xue Pei, do you know what you are talking about? Who instructed you to slander me?" Cheng Jingqi sat shakingly on the bed, looking at his pale face, probably he would fall down the next moment.

Xue Pei sneered as a self-deprecatingly, "Mr. Cheng, have you forgotten how Lin Xiangyin died?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Lin Xiangyin's death has been a mystery to this day. The news that she died in Wurengang shocked the capital at that time, but it was quickly covered up. At that time, it was speculated whether someone behind her wanted to deliberately conceal this matter.

Now it seems that Lin Xiangyin's death is indeed in the world.

"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Jingqi said this almost gritted his teeth, and then stood up from the bed excitedly.

Xue Pei chuckled, "I really can't be as cruel as Mr. Cheng."

"Xue Pei, I think I treat you very well. Do you think about the consequences of saying these words? I have never treated you badly from beginning to end. How can you talk nonsense to put me in a state of injustice?"

"Mr. Cheng, I just discovered my conscience." Xue Pei looked at him, his eyes full of disgust and disgust. "Mr. Cheng is a famous figure in the legend, respected and admired, but he earns the most unbearable money and does the most crazy things."

Cheng Jingqi shouted, "I don't. I act openly. No matter how much you say you want to slander me, I have a clear conscience."

"Then you are now in front of all the media, do you dare to say that Lin Xiangyin's death has nothing to do with you?" Xue Pei pointed aggressively at the row of shots in front.

Cheng Jingqi turned around and showed a sense of integrity. He said loudly, "I have never done anything to be sorry to Lin Xiangyin. Her death is also the biggest pain in my life. She is both a teacher and a friend, and the person I respect the most in my life."

"Hahaha." Xue Pei suddenly burst into laughter, "Mr. Cheng is worthy of being Mr. Cheng. He is really panicked and his face is still calm."

Cheng Jingqi raised his head proudly, "Xue Pei, I will not let you go about slandering me. I will notify my lawyer immediately, you should wait for sanctions."

"Mr. Cheng, do you think I can't learn to be careful when I have followed you for so long?" Xue Pei asked.

Cheng Jingqi's movements stopped, "What do you mean?"

Xue Pei smiled and said, "Since you killed Lin Xiangyin, I knew that you would never let everyone we know easily. When I have value to you, you will treat me like a dog. When I am worthless, I will be thrown into the wilderness like Lin Xiangyin. I am not stupid, so I naturally know how to leave a thread in everything and find a way out for myself."

Cheng Jingqi frowned.

Xue Pei faced the camera and said, "I have handed over all the evidence to the police. Soon the police station will come to ask Mr. Cheng to cooperate with the investigation. I hope Mr. Cheng can be so calm and unchanged by then."

Cheng Jingqi was a little exhausted. He sat down the bedside, no longer the tit-for-tat confrontation he had before. He said calmly, "Xue Pei, I have never treated you badly. Do you know what kind of crisis your behavior today will bring to me?"

Xue Pei said, "From the day you started entering this industry, you should have thought of the situation like this today."

"Hahaha." Cheng Jingqi laughed arrogantly, "No, I don't need to think about it. I will never lose. I used to be, now, and the future will be."

"But you lost." Xue Pei lowered his head, "Mr. Cheng, we have lost a long time ago."

"No, I don't." Cheng Jingqi roared.

"We lost since Qi Wu knew the cause of Lin Xiangyin's death. We can ignore this woman Gu Yichen, but you can't deal with Qi Wu. His ruthlessness is not something you and I can imagine."

Cheng Jingqi closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of fatigue from his whole body, and he seemed to rest.

The people in the ward gradually faded away, probably because they had already obtained the news they wanted, and they all left with their cameras in joy.

The vice president sat on the chair without saying a word.

Cheng Jingqi lay back on the bed and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes.

After a long time, the vice president spoke out and broke the long silence. He said, "Mr. Cheng, I chose to believe you from the beginning. How could a person like you be involved in fraud?"

"You can leave now." Cheng Jingqi closed his eyes tiredly.

The vice president shook his head, "I have been in the treasure appraisal association for several years. At that time, I was still working under Master Lin Xiangyin. All of us can see her skills. Since her death, you, as her personal disciple, have taken over the position of president. No one in our association has ever doubted your ability and recognized your ability very much."

Speaking of excitement, the vice president choked up several times.

He continued to say, "But why did our innocent treasure appraisal association become like this now? Dark, dirty, no longer trustworthy."

"Man is dead for money and birds die for food." Cheng Jingqi downplayed lightly.
