Tang Jinchuan understood that he was now at the end of his rope, yet he still hesitated, suspecting that Huo Sining might be bluffing, trying to deceive him into telling the truth. So he absolutely would not admit anything, instead, he laughed heartily and said:
"Boss Huo, this is just one opinion. Regardless of the brushwork or the style, this painting is in the style of Shen Zhou, and the seal is something no one else could forge. For you to say the painting is fake seems a bit too arbitrary. But Boss Huo, you're young and haven't seen many antiques; it's understandable to make a misjudgment."
