Lin Fan, sporting a wide smile, eagerly anticipated Su Dongzhu's response.

Su Dongzhu, meanwhile, took his position at the center of the stage.

"Mr. Su Dongzhu, let's conclude this auction since I emerged as the winner of the last item," Lin Fan confidently asserted, his smile unfaltering.

At this revelation, shock rippled through the crowd, giving rise to various murmurs and discussions among the participants.

Lin Fan, however, wore an expression of utter disbelief. "How can it be fake? It's authentic!" he exclaimed.
