After the arrangement was completed, Ye Tian casually picked up the two newly removed nails from the table and re-nailed the two corners of the original color linen cloth.
Seeing his action, many onlookers at the scene immediately started making noises even though they were not willing to agree.
“Steven, what do you mean? Why did you nail that piece of linen up again?”
“Since you don’t intend to disclose this important discovery, why bother to dismantle the frame in public? It whets everyone’s appetite, but you change your mind midway. Isn’t this too unreasonable?”
Ye Tian did not immediately respond to the constant noise.
After nailing the quick primary color linen and making sure the nails would not fall off, he picked up the drawing board and held it in his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly glanced at the many onlookers at the scene, and then said loudly:
“Please wait patiently for a while. I will uncover this piece of original color linen later and publicly display the painting that has been hidden for more than a hundred years to satisfy everyone’s curiosity!
Today’s discovery is so important that it will definitely cause a huge sensation. Before it is publicly displayed, I have to make some necessary arrangements. I hope everyone can understand.
My personal lawyer has already begun contacting major news media around the world, asking them to send people here to report on the scene. When many media reporters arrive, it can be displayed publicly.
In the meantime, you can continue to visit the Canal Antique Market and search for treasures at the antique stalls here. Maybe you can find some treasures or enjoy the scenery.
We are the same, planning to continue browsing the remaining stalls and antique shops. This antique market only opens once a month, and we don’t live in Milan often, so we really don’t want to miss this opportunity.
There is only about half an hour until the Canal Antique Market closes. It will pass soon. In half an hour, everyone will be able to see the mysterious painting.
The venue is set to be in the cafe in front. I will invite everyone present to drink coffee, and then I will unveil the original color linen cloth and publicly display the painting below.”
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed to a street-facing cafe not far ahead, where he decided the location for the public display.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately said loudly:
“This arrangement sounds good, but what if you change the package midway? If you replace the painting under the linen with another painting, wouldn’t everyone wait in vain!”
Ye Tian looked at the direction from which the sound came, then smiled and said loudly:
“Don’t worry, everyone. I will keep my word and I won’t do anything so shameless. From now on, the live camera will always be facing this drawing board and will not leave it for a moment.
In addition, there are two agents from the Italian Carabinieri. They have been following me and watching my every move. I believe they will not watch me play tricks.”
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed at the two cultural relics gendarmes and directly identified their identities.
Faced with this situation, what else could the two guys do? They could only take out their IDs and show them to everyone present to clarify their identities.
Just as these two guys showed their IDs, the expressions of some stall owners and antique dealers on the scene couldn’t help but change. They were obviously a little guilty!
Like all antique markets in the world, the Milan Canal Antique Market also has a lot of stolen goods, antique artworks of unknown origin, and various deceptive tricks.
There are even more stolen goods in this antique market. You know, Milan is famous for the number of thieves.
And because Italy has a long history and a large number of antiques and artworks, there are also many art thieves active here. The Canal Antique Market is an ideal place for them to sell stolen goods!
At this time, I heard that there are cultural relics gendarmes here. Can these guys not feel nervous!
After listening to Ye Tian’s explanation and seeing the cultural relics military police following them, many onlookers accepted the arrangement and prepared to wait for a while and witness the miracle later.
Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others left Tino’s stall and continued to visit the remaining stalls, antique shops, and galleries in the Canal Antique Market.
The Italian policemen in plainclothes and the two cultural relics gendarmes also followed suit, each on high alert, staring closely at Ye Tian and the others, as well as at the drawing board in Ye Tian’s hand.
As for Tino, he had already fallen to the ground, his eyes full of despair and pain, muttering to himself in despair, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.
In the following time, Ye Tian did not take action again, but just walked around and visited the remaining stalls, antique shops, and galleries!
In fact, he has no chance to take action again.
With Tino’s **** experience, how can the remaining stall owners, antique shop and gallery owners dare to do his business!
When they see Ye Tian approaching a stall, or walking into his own antique shop or gallery, the antique dealers will immediately become highly vigilant, and they will all guard against him like a thief.
But how did they know that the guy with a Cockney accent who appeared a moment later was the one who really robbed them!
Time passes little by little, and it is getting closer and closer to four o’clock in the afternoon.
At the same time, the Milan canal antique market has become more and more lively. Although today’s antique market is coming to an end, the number of tourists on both sides of the canal has not decreased, but has increased sharply!
Countless people came from all over Milan and flocked to this famous antique market.
Especially the cafe designated by Ye Tian was crowded with people. Many people ran there to reserve seats in advance in order to witness the miracle happening at the closest distance.
The owner of the cafe was probably crazy with joy at this time. He and Edmundo were probably the only two people in the canal antique market who had a good impression of Ye Tian, and even shed tears of gratitude.
After receiving Anderson’s notice, major news media sent their reporters in Milan to rush here, and reporters from the media arrived at the Canal Antique Market one after another.
As soon as these guys arrived, they immediately tried to interview Ye Tian. They wanted to grab the headlines before other reporters.
However, these uncrowned kings were stopped by Cole and the others and could not get close to Ye Tian and Betty.
Immediately afterwards, they were taken to the cafe designated by Ye Tian, where they waited for the arrival of four o’clock and for Ye Tian to announce the important discovery.
In addition to many media reporters, Giovanni quickly arrived at the canal antique market with several cultural relics gendarmes.
After this old friend arrived, he also wanted to find out what Ye Tian discovered as soon as possible so as to formulate a response strategy.
Unfortunately, he was also rejected. Ye Tian only exchanged a few pleasantries with him, but did not reveal any useful information!
Not long after Giovanni arrived, the Milan legal team contacted by Anderson also arrived here.
Under the temptation of generous rewards, these Italians changed their usual laziness. After receiving the call, they rushed out of their homes and drove straight here.
They all know that as long as they win this business, they will not only receive a generous reward, but also get an opportunity to show their face in front of people all over the world. Can they not be active?
As the most outstanding team of lawyers in Milan arrived, Ye Tian erected another strong line of defense in front of him, which made both the Italian police and the cultural relics gendarme scratch their heads!
In view of the unexpected situation at the canal antique market, the Milan police responded quickly. They deployed a large number of additional police officers to rush here to maintain order on the scene and avoid accidents.
At nearly four o’clock, the consul and cultural counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Milan, together with six embassy security personnel, arrived belatedly at the Canal Antique Market.
After arriving at the antique market, these diplomats were also taken to the cafe designated by Ye Tian by Anderson, where they waited.
Seeing the arrival of these American diplomats, the faces of the Milan police and cultural relics gendarmes at the scene became more solemn and troubled.
Especially those cultural relics gendarmes, whose faces looked as ugly as their dead fathers!
The experienced ones have realized that Ye Tian’s discovery today will definitely cause a huge sensation, perhaps no less than the Napoleon’s treasure that was discovered not long ago!
But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could never guess what painting Ye Tian found, the painting that had been hidden for more than a hundred years, and whose work it was.
With only five or six minutes left before four o’clock, Ye Tian and the others walked out of the last antique shop and came to the streets on the north bank of the Milan Grand Canal again.
After standing still on the street, Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the guys following him, then said with a smile:
“Let’s go back to that cafe, the time has come, it’s time to reveal the answer”
After saying that, he took Betty out and walked towards the cafe he had designated before.
Seeing his move, the scene immediately burst into cheers.
“Wow! I have finally waited for this moment. If I continue to delay it, I will be tortured crazy by curiosity!”
“I hope what this guy Steven said is true. This is a major discovery that is enough to shock the world and rewrite the history of Western art. In that case, it will not be in vain for my friends to suffer for a long time.”
In the cheers, almost everyone in the Milan Canal Antique Market rushed towards the cafe on the north bank of the canal, like a torrent!
