Chapter 366: Chapter 366: A Strand of Hair

As Xiao Yifei looked at Cao Heming, who gently shook his head, he continued, "You cause trouble everywhere, do you really think you can intimidate anyone? You push your luck just because you think your Yuan blue and white porcelain is genuine, right?"

"Tsk."

Xiao Yifei scoffed with disdain, then turned to Tan Zhenting and seemingly out of the blue, asked, "Uncle Tan, did the ancients also perm their hair?"

Tan Zhenting tilted his head, looking at Xiao Yifei with eyes still full of confusion, but this time, Xiao Yifei didn’t give Tan Zhenting time to respond, since his next move had already begun.

A faint smile on his face, he turned around to face everyone who was intently watching him, and gently reached out his hand. In his hand appeared a small fragment of porcelain that he had been holding in his palm.

"Hmph! Young whelp, putting on airs with that shard! Do you think you can escape?"

Cao Heming snorted coldly at Xiao Yifei.

"Family Head Cao, don’t be too hasty."

Xiao Yifei replied casually, shrugging his shoulders at Cao Heming, "Take a closer look."

"Look at what! As if more looking will reveal anything new?"

Jia Dong let out a sneer upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words.

Xiao Yifei smiled lightly and shook his head, no longer concerning himself with Cao Heming and Jia Dong. Instead, he walked over to Tan Zhenting and handed him the porcelain shard, "Uncle Tan, you’ll understand once you see it."

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, a flash of doubt crossed Tan Zhenting’s eyes. He reached out, took the small porcelain shard that Xiao Yifei handed to him, and looked at it intently with a startled expression.

The moment Tan Zhenting saw the small shard, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"What is it? Family Head Tan, did you indeed see something peculiar?"

With a mocking tone, Cao Heming asked Tan Zhenting.

Tan Zhenting, hearing Cao Heming’s words, didn’t respond to him but glared at Cao Heming with narrowing eyes and a dark expression, then decisively turned around and hurried to the table where the artifact authentication tools were kept. He picked up a magnifying glass placed there.

Cao Heming’s eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw Tan Zhenting’s actions, as it made his heart skip a beat.

After looking attentively with the magnifying glass again, Tan Zhenting put down the magnifying glass heavily on the table, making a dull sound. He turned around, his gaze stern and his face ashen as he looked at Cao Heming and said in a deep voice, "Well, Family Head Cao, I really thought you came to help for my sake, but I didn’t expect you would dare stir up trouble with our Tan Family! The Cao Family has quite the ambition!"

Stunned by Tan Zhenting’s words, Cao Heming did not understand why Tan Zhenting’s attitude had changed so drastically. He wondered what exactly he had seen.

"Family Head Tan, why would you say that?"

Cao Heming’s attitude had undergone a complete turnaround, and with narrowed eyes and a tone filled with confusion, he asked.

At that moment, even Tan Yunjing was puzzled, not knowing what her brother Xiao Yifei had shown to Tan Zhenting.

"Why would I say that?"

Tan Zhenting snorted coldly and presented the small shard that Xiao Yifei had just handed him, "Don’t pretend to be ignorant!"

On the shard, there was a tiny hair that was indeed difficult to spot without close examination. Furthermore, since the hair was very fine and short, it would have been impossible to notice it hidden within the body of the vase before Xiao Yifei had smashed the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase. Even after being shattered, such a tiny object was hard to detect among many fragments!

Perhaps it was just Xiao Yifei’s luck that among all the shards, he happened to find exactly this one!

Tan Zhenting could only attribute it all to Xiao Yifei’s good fortune, for he could think of no other reason Xiao Yifei could have managed it!

"Hmph! What can a single hair prove? Both of us deal in antiques, and we should know that human teeth and hair are substances that do not erode over thousands of years! This hair must have fallen into the Yuan blue and white vase during its creation!"

Upon seeing this hair, Cao Heming’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart pounded, but he still held his head high and addressed Tan Zhenting.

Seeing Cao Heming’s behavior, Tan Zhenting let out a cold laugh.

At that moment, Xiao Yifei’s playful voice resonated from beside Tan Zhenting, "Family Head Cao, take a closer look! Did the ancients also perm their hair?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Cao Heming’s eyes suddenly narrowed; he swallowed hard and turned his gaze back to the hair.

Despite the hair being very thin and short, a close inspection revealed that the hair was indeed permed!

His heart sank suddenly, and he stood silently in the gloom, no longer speaking.

"Family Head Cao, I think I am in need of an explanation now!"

With an evaluating look, Tan Zhenting coldly spoke to Cao Heming before handing the shard of porcelain back to Xiao Yifei, "Mr. Xiao, I can’t thank you enough. Without you today, we might have really ended up in a mess!"

Xiao Yifei received the shard from Tan Zhenting with a slight smile, "Uncle Tan, you don’t have to be so polite, I was only doing what I should do. Besides, I can’t stand the behavior of Cao Heming and Jia Dong either."

Xiao Yifei did not hesitate to express his disdain openly in front of Cao Heming and Jia Dong.

"You little rascal!"

Jia Dong pointed his finger straight at Xiao Yifei, but before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yifei cut him off.

"Professor Jia, are you for real?"

Xiao Yifei’s mocking tone instantly made Jia Dong’s face turn red, leaving him speechless.

At that moment, Cao Heming covertly signaled to Mile with his eyes; understanding the cue, Mile, in just a moment, charged toward Xiao Yifei.

"Let me take a closer look!"

The moment the authenticity of Cao Heming’s Yuan blue and white vase was exposed by Xiao Yifei, he did not seek to calm the situation but was the first to make a move to rush at Xiao Yifei, and Mile’s actions, like a tiger descending the mountain, clearly intended a malicious assault on Xiao Yifei!

Mile, being much quicker than Jia Dong, moved so swiftly that Tan Zhenting couldn’t stop him; his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Mr. Xiao, be careful."

Mile’s hand formed into a tiger’s claw, reaching fiercely towards Xiao Yifei.

Seeing Mile’s motion, Xiao Yifei’s eyes suddenly narrowed, then swiftly moved as well. His hand seemed slow but in an instant, he had grabbed Mile’s arm. Xiao Yifei’s palm trembled slightly, causing Mile’s pupils to abruptly shrink, and then he obediently stood beside Xiao Yifei.

"Haha, Uncle Tan, there’s no need to be too cautious, he just wanted to have a look at this fragment, here you go!"

Xiao Yifei extended his other hand, casually tossing the shard to Mile, who, with a forced smile, caught the porcelain piece thrown by Xiao Yifei.

"Go on! Take a good look."

With a gentle smile, Xiao Yifei released Mile’s hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

What surprised everyone was that Mile, who was notoriously fierce and ruthless, politely thanked Xiao Yifei as he walked away from him.
