The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

The Japanese side no longer cared that Gu Shengsheng was just running her mouth.

Because after seeing how arrogant she was, they had other plans!

Their reputation had already taken a hit from picking this fight. They originally thought it would take at least a few days for the public attention to die down.

But now Gu Shengsheng was making such an outrageous claim—that all five hundred artifacts were real?

It was utterly brainless.

No sane person would dare say something like that. The world of antiques was murky, and even the most skilled Treasure Appraiser wouldn’t be so certain.

Besides, the Japanese had heard that Gu Shengsheng had only just acquired these items today. They were probably just props for a bluff.

From her posture, it was clear she was targeting Japan.

’She thinks she can take on Japan with that?’

The thought made Beiyuan Cang laugh.

It wasn’t just Beiyuan Cang. All of Japan was waiting for Gu Shengsheng to crash and burn, already anticipating the moment they could ridicule Huaxia.

A little brat like her couldn’t get lucky every time, and Japan was not like that reporter from Eagle Country.

In short, Japan was not foolish enough to lose to a slip of a girl.

Netizens from Japan were also commenting furiously:

"That woman is so arrogant, it’s disgusting! Beiyuan Cang, go and verbally destroy her for us."

"Beiyuan Cang, you guys are useless, getting pushed around by a woman like this!"

"And in the end, they said our Japanese artifacts were fakes. Good grief, I was embarrassed even when I went on YouTube to flame people. How could you let this happen? I hope you win back our honor! Otherwise, don’t even bother showing your faces outside."

"Hurry up and turn this around. That Gu Shengsheng is definitely bluffing. How could there be five hundred authentic pieces? She’d have to be a billionaire."

"How could someone so young know anything? She’s just a great bullshitter, it’s disgusting. I’m gonna use a VPN to go and flame her to death!!"

"Trash..."

Their words were sharp, and many had already resorted to personal attacks against Gu Shengsheng. It was simply in her nature to attract this kind of heat; she grew popular fast, and naturally, her entire persona was a target.

Beiyuan Cang was full of confidence, as were the curators of Japan’s museums.

At this point, the dozen or so artifacts were a thing of the past. All they were waiting for was to see Gu Shengsheng proven spectacularly wrong.

Before the International Treasure Appraisal Association had even begun their assessment, Gu Shengsheng was the first to ask, "So, if all of these artifacts turn out to be authentic, what will Japan do?"

Making bets was Gu Shengsheng’s specialty.

Beiyuan Cang laughed. "Miss Gu, all these items you have are ones we have in Japan. In fact, with just a glance, I can see that they are all artifacts from our country’s largest museum, the Tokyo Museum."

"If they are real, we won’t even talk about our museum shutting down. More importantly, we are willing to apologize to you."

One must understand that the Japanese were typically stubborn and foul-mouthed. Apologizing was practically unheard of, so for them, an apology was the worst possible outcome they could imagine.

Gu Shengsheng smiled. "Just an apology? Isn’t that too light a punishment? Or can Japan not afford to play? If you can’t, you can leave right now."

As expected, goading them was incredibly effective!

At that, Beiyuan Cang shot to his feet and glared at Gu Shengsheng. "Then how about the entire Japanese artifact administration department issues a global apology to you? We’ll record a video and apologize to the whole world. Is that sincere enough for you?" Though he said this, his tone was full of scorn.

They were only so brazen because they knew it was impossible for Gu Shengsheng to win.

Gu Shengsheng laughed out loud.

"A global apology is so boring. I remember my business with that reporter from Eagle Country also ended in a global apology."

Gu Shengsheng feigned deep thought. "How about you also add a confession that you once stole our artifacts and refused to return them?"

"Of course, if you don’t dare to play, then forget it." Gu Shengsheng waved her hand dismissively. "I’ve always found you people to be quite cowardly, unable to even admit your own mistakes. How can we expect you to keep your promise? If you don’t honor it, then neither will we."

Gu Shengsheng spread her hands.

The other side immediately grew anxious. Beiyuan Cang quickly stood up and said, "As long as you can do it, I will definitely issue such a statement on behalf of Japan. The problem is, you simply can’t."

"Five hundred artifacts can’t possibly be real. If they are, doesn’t that mean all of ours are fakes? How could that be possible?"

Their ancestors were so great; how could they have brought back fake artifacts?

Besides, these artifacts had been on display for so many years and no one had ever said a word. For some young upstart to jump out now with such contemptuous words was truly nauseating.

Gu Shengsheng smiled. "Alright, I’m good with that."

"Appraisers, I’ll have to trouble you to begin the assessment. It’s just that there are so many items, and your manpower..."

Just as she said that, about twenty people from the International Treasure Appraisal Association arrived, all wearing white coats.

Beiyuan Cang couldn’t stop laughing. "Gu Shengsheng! You are truly ridiculous. Do you think you can plant your own Huaxian Treasure Appraisers in there to tamper with things?"

"Could your intentions be any more obvious!"

Gu Shengsheng just shook her head and chuckled, offering no explanation. There was no need to waste words on someone like him.

Just then, Zhao Dehai hurried over.

He pulled Gu Shengsheng back and out of the room.

Zhao Dehai immediately said in a panic, "It’s over, it’s over. They’ve already started the appraisal. Shengsheng, listen to me, this is a very serious matter."

"If I take you over there now, there might still be a chance to salvage this. The higher-ups also said you were too impulsive this time. You shouldn’t have made such a rash decision on a matter this big."

Gu Shengsheng said, "But I guarantee they’re real."

The frantic Zhao Dehai suddenly deflated.

"Are you really that incredible? Shengsheng, this is five hundred artifacts! Can you guarantee it one hundred percent? Right now, no rational person believes you. Those in the know think you’re being absurd."

"Let me put it this way: even if you were a once-in-a-generation genius, you couldn’t possibly pull this off. Do you understand?"

Gu Shengsheng nodded. "I understand. And because I understand, I have a chance to win big."

"The chief of the National Security Bureau said not to worry. Don’t force yourself to go through with this. They’ll protect you no matter what. It’s okay if we lose this time."

Gu Shengsheng watched as Zhao Dehai continued to plead earnestly with her.

She opened the door and went straight back inside. "You don’t believe my explanation, so go ahead and keep panicking, Mr. Zhao."

"I just messaged the chief of the National Security Bureau. He said he believes me."

Zhao Dehai was speechless. ’No, wait... How is the young one so crazy, and how are the big shots at the top playing such a high-stakes game too!’

’Am I the only one who’s too old-fashioned here?’
