I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2763 - 1715: Lunatic!

"Miss Pei."

Judging by the voice, on the other end of the phone is Xu Lun, the biggest winner of this year’s Heavenly Craft Exhibition, a master sculptor.

No pleasantries, Pei Yunxi got straight to the point, "Where is the Nine Carp Painting?"

The Nine Carp Painting?

Xu Lun naturally felt inexplicably puzzled, to the point of letting out a confused "ah".

"Where is the Nine Carp Painting?"

This time, Xu Lun should have understood, but he surely was still baffled.

"The Nine Carp Painting... is at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition."

"What does Miss Pei mean by this?"

He asked tentatively.

No wonder.

Not to blame the master sculptor; even Pei Yunxi’s mind was all over the place.

Her gaze fell on the "delivery" placed on the soft sofa.

If the Nine Carp Painting is still being exhibited at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition,

then what is this piece that appeared in her home?

"Are you sure the Nine Carp Painting is still at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition?"

"Of course! Where else would it be if not at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition?"

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

With a normal way of thinking, no one would imagine such a sci-fi or even magical occurrence, and Xu Lun certainly couldn’t connect it to his most representative work "vanishing" suddenly; he thought the call was simply out of concern.

"Miss Pei, the Heavenly Craft Exhibition ends tomorrow. By then, I’ll arrange for the Nine Carp Painting to be delivered to you intact, or I can come myself."

Whether or not the Nine Carp Painting is still at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition aside, using her experience as a professional actress, Pei Yunxi could at least confirm that the other party is "certain" the Nine Carp Painting is still there.

—So a question arises.

This situation.

There are only two possibilities.

A.

Someone crazily delivered a fake to her home.

B.

The Nine Carp Painting that should be displayed at the Heavenly Craft Exhibition was quietly replaced, and unbeknownst to the exhibitor and even herself as the owner, it "returned" prematurely.

If it’s A.

What’s the motive?

A pointless prank?

Supposing it’s B.

That would be even more absurd.

A priceless, gold-awarded treasure was taken from a top-notch jewelry and jade exhibition inconspicuously, without the creator’s or owner’s permission, not even needing notice.

Has physics ceased to exist, or have procedures and rules vanished?

"Miss Pei?"

"It’s nothing."

Pei Yunxi hung up the phone and slowly put down her cellphone.

Whether it’s A or B.

No matter which possibility.

Both actually share a common premise.

That is—

The instigator knows that she is the true owner behind this year’s Heavenly Craft Exhibition gold award piece.

"Daughter, what’s wrong?"

Li Wanrong, too, was affected and became somewhat tense.

Pei Yunxi wasn’t in a hurry to explain. She picked up that jade pendant, which was larger than an adult’s palm, once again.

The finished carved product, she hadn’t seen with her own eyes before today, but the Dragon Stone Type used as its raw material had always been in her possession since it was revealed.

Jade identification requires high-end instruments, and even professionals can hardly determine authenticity and quality level with the naked eye.

But besides the five senses, humans have a sixth sense.

As she caressed the intricate lines of the Nine Carp Painting and gazed at the deep and lustrous color, Pei Yunxi felt as if an invisible voice was telling her—this is indeed the Jadeite Venerable that someone had miraculously gambled on in Myanmar.

Things.

Seemed to be getting interesting.

"What the hell is going on..."

Pei Linhan removed his rarely-used reading glasses and, sensing something amiss from his daughter’s series of unusual reactions, set aside his slow-but-steady weaving work and stood up.

The Goddess Pei, after all, was a seasoned figure, a national pride and international superstar, the most perfect human genetic artwork. Even after witnessing such an unbelievable incident, she quickly regained her composure, at least on the surface.

With a graceful crouch, she placed the seemingly true or false Nine Carp Painting upright on the coffee table.

"A gift prepared for you."

"A gift?"

The couple was surprised.

"A gift for your thirtieth wedding anniversary."

"But."

Li Wanrong also couldn’t help but stand up.

"Didn’t you just say it wasn’t yours?"

Right.

That’s not the issue.

When the daughter came downstairs, she was asked, and she firmly stated it wasn’t hers. Why the sudden change of heart?

"Forgot."

Pei Yunxi casually brushed it off, having already deduced the B scenario’s validity, then asked her parents, "What courier service delivered it?"

"Speed, of course. Only Speed can enter our community." Li Wanrong answered.

"Could it be that your courier wasn’t sent via Speed?"

Pei Linhan maintained his humorous and comical demeanor as always.

Pei Yunxi didn’t explain and didn’t know how to.

"Should we ask your mom to call back the delivery guy and inquire?"

Pei Linhan suggested.

"That young man seemed new, not the courier usually assigned to our neighborhood. He wasn’t wearing a uniform, but he was quite young and very decent-looking, didn’t look much like a delivery guy, so when I saw him, I thought someone might have the wrong house..."

For some reason, despite the information provided by her mother being quite scant, an uncontrollable familiar face floated in front of Pei Yunxi.

—And it was smiling at her.

Even if this reality seemed quite absurd, wasn’t that man a person who followed convention?

"About how old?"

Pei Yunxi abruptly asked.

The couple simultaneously paused, feeling peculiar internally.

Why was their daughter interested in a courier?

"Well... about twenty-six or seven? Definitely not thirty yet," Li Wanrong tried to recall, "fair-skinned, very refined, didn’t seem like someone who does rough work going from street to street."
