Chapter 382 How dare you, a layman, fool the experts?
In this way, one bomb after another was discovered and defused by Qi Tongwei.
He shuttled back and forth in this dangerous area, repeating the actions of scanning, searching, and demolishing.
His figure appeared particularly firm amid the ruins and dust, like a barrier guarding safety.
After some effort, Qi Tongwei finally cleared all the bombs within a radius of ten kilometers.
He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The experts were filled with admiration when they saw Qi Tongwei's performance.
They knew that if Qi Tongwei had not defused the bomb first, their work would be in great danger.
Now, they can start the work of sorting, identifying and moving antiques with confidence.
During the process of sorting out the antiques, Qi Tongwei saw the experts busy and careful, and he felt an urge to help.
He felt that as a member of the Dragon Group, after completing the danger elimination work, he should also contribute to the protection of antiques.
So he strode towards the experts who were sorting the antiques.
"Dear experts, let me help you." Qi Tongwei said enthusiastically, his voice loud and confident.
However, after hearing Qi Tongwei's words, the experts looked up as if they had heard something terrible, with expressions of horror and rejection on their faces.
One of the experts, who looked more experienced, quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, please don't come to help."
"You are a rude special forces soldier. These antiques are priceless treasures. A little carelessness will cause irreparable damage."
"If you come to help, it will inevitably cause secondary damage to the antiques." As the expert said this, he looked at Qi Tongwei with a vigilant look, as if Qi Tongwei was a dangerous person who might destroy antiques at any time.
Qi Tongwei felt a little dissatisfied when he heard the expert's words.
He felt that although he was a special forces soldier, he was not a reckless person.
He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he saw that the experts were already busy again and did not give him a chance to speak.
Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly and had to stand aside and watch.
His eyes scanned the antiques.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on some strange-looking objects.
Those were fakes he had made to confuse Bellamy. He had thought that these fakes would be discovered at a glance by the experts.
However, what surprised Qi Tongwei was that when the experts sorted out these forgeries, they did not find anything unusual.
One of the experts gently picked up a fake and examined it carefully, muttering to himself, "This is a rare treasure! Look at the craftsmanship and the texture. It's simply a work of art beyond compare."
When the other experts heard his words, they gathered around and nodded in praise.
Then, they carefully treated these counterfeits as treasures, took a special box from the side, covered it with soft silk, and gently placed the counterfeits in it.
Qi Tongwei saw this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His laughter was particularly abrupt in the quiet sorting scene. The experts were attracted by his laughter and looked at him with confusion.
The experts were at a loss for what to do by Qi Tongwei's sudden laughter. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Qi Tongwei with confusion.
One of the experts frowned and asked in an unpleasant tone, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about this? We are doing some serious antique sorting."
Qi Tongwei calmly pointed at the fake jade Buddhas, then at himself, and said with a playful smile, "I made this."
When the experts heard Qi Tongwei's words, they were stunned.
Their eyes widened, unable to believe their ears.
The expert who had asked the question just now was even more incredulous. He picked up the fake jade Buddha carefully again and looked at it over and over again twice, with his eyes almost touching the jade Buddha, trying to find evidence that it was a fake. However, after looking for a long time, he did not notice anything unusual.
The expert's face turned very ugly in an instant. He realized that he had just treated a fake as a rare treasure and treated it with caution. This was simply an unforgivable and low-level mistake in his professional field.
Moreover, this mistake was made in front of Qi Tongwei, a special forces soldier, which made him feel like a clown whose fig leaf was exposed in public.
His face flushed red from his forehead to his neck, and the shame and anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
He felt humiliated and embarrassed in front of his peers, and even made a fool of himself in front of Qi Tongwei, a "mere military man" whom he had originally looked down upon.
"You are just a warrior, yet you dare to tease me!" the expert roared angrily, his voice trembling with excitement.
His eyes were burning with anger as he stared at Qi Tongwei, as if he wanted to see through him.
He felt that Qi Tongwei must have done it on purpose, deliberately causing trouble for them when they were busiest.
Other experts also gathered around, their expressions varied. Some were as angry as this expert, thinking that Qi Tongwei's behavior was too unkind; others were embarrassed, lowering their heads to carefully examine the jade Buddha to make sure it was not a fake.
Qi Tongwei saw the experts' reactions, put away his smile, and explained seriously: "I didn't mean to tease you."
"I created these forgeries just to confuse the enemy, but I didn't expect it would cause such a misunderstanding."
"I know you are very professional in antique appraisal. This is just an unexpected situation."
However, the angry expert simply refused to listen to Qi Tongwei's explanation.
He angrily placed the fake jade Buddha on the table and said, "No matter what you say, you are insulting our profession by doing this."
"We have been researching this field for many years. How could we be deceived by an outsider like you?"
Qi Tongwei sighed helplessly. He knew that nothing he said now would calm the expert down immediately.
He looked at the other experts around him and said sincerely, "Dear experts, the most urgent task is to solve the problem of transporting the antique. If you think this jade Buddha is an antique, then take it back."
He knew that it would be a waste of time to say more, as these experts were already stuck in their own logic and couldn't extricate themselves.
However, the enraged expert still refused to give in. He felt that his reputation had been damaged and demanded an explanation from Qi Tongwei.
He stood there angrily with his hands folded over his chest, waiting for Qi Tongwei to continue explaining or apologizing.
