Chapter 1704 The Sister of the Mona Lisa
When Ye Tian and the others walked to the coffee shop on the north bank of the canal, it was already crowded with people, and it had already been surrounded by people who came to see the excitement, and the scene was extremely noisy.
The first time he came here, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and looked through everyone in front of the café, and he didn't let go of any of them!
As for the people who stood on tiptoe a little further away from the periphery and couldn't even squeeze in front of the café, there was no need to see through, and those guys didn't pose much of a threat.
Under the perspective, the situation of many onlookers at the scene was immediately and clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.
In addition to the Milan police who maintained order, those police officers in civilian clothes and the gendarmes of cultural relics, and the security personnel of the US Embassy, Ye Tian also found several guys with firearms in the crowd.
However, those guys were carrying pistols, and even if they had bad intentions, the snipers and Cole who were ambushed at both ends of the canal antique market could handle them completely, and they didn't pose much of a threat.
As for thieves with daggers and other weapons, there are even more of them, and some of them are even mixed in with the crowd and are taking advantage of this rare opportunity to commit theft!
This has nothing to do with him, and Ye Tian is too lazy to take care of it.
Once he had identified a few targets, he withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
Immediately afterward, he and Betty, escorted by Cole and four Milanese lawyers, made their way through the crowd to the café inside.
Many onlookers at the scene were also very knowledgeable, and when they saw their group coming, they immediately gave way to a passage leading to the door of the café.
Soon, Ye Tian and the others walked through the crowd and came to the open-air dining area at the entrance of the café.
Here, the delegation of the U.S. Embassy in Milan and the reporters of the world's major news media in Milan have been waiting for a long time, and they are all looking forward to it!
Seeing that Ye Tian and the others finally appeared, these guys' eyes immediately lit up and they became even more excited.
Especially many media reporters, they were even more excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and before Ye Tian and them could stand firm, they couldn't wait to start asking questions loudly.
"Good afternoon, Steven, I'm the Milan correspondent for The New York Times, what treasures did you find in the canal antique market?
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter for Italian national television, what great secret is hidden under that piece of linen?
Ye Tian did not answer these surging questions, he first shook hands with several diplomats of the US Embassy, greeted each other, and got to know each other.
Then, he turned his head to look at the media reporters who were excited and full of anticipation, and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, dear journalists, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you all here, it's a wonderful afternoon, and it's also an extraordinary and unforgettable afternoon!
Thank you for coming here for a report, but please be patient for a while, the mystery will soon be revealed, and I will show you the mysterious painting under the original linen in public!"
After saying that, he turned around and shook hands with the coffee shop owner who was already waiting.
"Good afternoon, man, excuse me, I've set the place to uncover the mystery and display the paintings at your café without your consent, I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind.
I just said in public that I want to have a cup of coffee for everyone in the room, and if anyone needs it, you can open it up and drink as much as you want, and I will pay for all the costs incurred!"
Hearing this, the coffee shop owner's face immediately bloomed with the brightest smile.
"Good afternoon, Steven, I'm Vittorio, the owner of this coffee shop, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's an honor that you chose my café as a showcase to unravel the mystery.
I have to say, you are a very generous guy, I have a pretty good coffee here, if someone on site needs it, I am more than happy to provide you with a good coffee, you can drink as much as you want!"
As he spoke, this buddy shook hands with Ye Tian.
Next, Vittorio immediately announced loudly that he could serve the best coffee for free, and he could drink it all-you-can-drink, lest Ye Tian change his mind.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a thunderous applause at the scene, which resounded throughout the canal antique market.
Before the applause fell, someone couldn't wait to start ordering, and it was not polite at all.
Vittorio was even more unkind, this guy immediately ordered his clerk to serve coffee to all the customers who ordered, and whatever coffee was expensive, someone would pay anyway!
At the same time, Cole and the others had quickly dispersed, building a strong defensive line around Ye Tian and Betty, and everyone was on high alert, ready to respond at any time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will soon uncover this piece of linen in its original colour, and we will witness the miracle together!
As he spoke, Ye Tian put the drawing board in his hand on a dining table beside him, and then took out a pair of pliers he had just purchased from his pocket, ready to pull out the nails nailed with the primary color linen!
Lisa held up her mobile phone to take pictures, responsible for spreading everything that happened here to the entire Internet and every corner of the world!
Hearing Ye Tian's words and seeing his actions, the scene instantly fell silent.
Whether it was the many onlookers at the scene, the antique dealers doing business at the Canal Antique Market, or the countless viewers on the live broadcast end, everyone stared at the drawing board with bated breath, full of curiosity and anticipation.
Unlike before, Ye Tian directly used pliers to pull out all the nails nailed to the primary color linen this time, and his movements were still skillful and smooth, but he was very cautious.
Immediately afterwards, he gently uncovered the piece of linen in the primary color, and the movements were extremely gentle, as if caressing the skin of a baby.
At the same time, his face also showed a sense of ecstasy, and his eyes were full of intoxication.
Because of the angle and distance, many onlookers around did not get to see the content of the painting under the linen in the first place.
However, Betty and Anderson, who were standing beside Ye Tian, as well as the Italian lawyers, and the US Embassy, all saw the oil painting stretched on the drawing board!
The moment they saw the oil painting, all of them were completely shocked, and they were directly stunned in place, one by one dumbfounded, and their eyes were so wide that their eyeballs were about to fly out.
The effect of that oil painting was so powerful that they temporarily lost the ability to speak, and they just kept panting, without exception!
The situation in front of countless live broadcasts is the same, there is a dead silence.
Everyone was completely stunned by the picture that appeared in front of them, and everyone was dumbfounded, and their eyes were as wide as cowbells!
Even Ye Tian, who had already seen this painting many times, was excited to fall into obsession the moment he uncovered the primary linen, and his hands holding the primary linen were even trembling slightly!
Seeing them like this, many onlookers at the scene could still endure it, especially those reporters from major media outlets around the world.
"Steven, stop playing dumb riddles, hurry up and show that painting, don't just enjoy it for yourself, this kind of behavior is very inhumane!"
"That's it, Steven, hurry up and show it publicly, if you continue to suffer, everyone will be tormented by curiosity and crazy!"
With the noise of drumming one after another, Ye Tian and the others were all awakened, those Milan lawyers, the US Embassy and his party, and everyone on the live broadcast side were awakened!
In the next moment, there was an almost crazy exclamation at the scene and countless live broadcast ends, each voice was full of incredulity, and some even cried!
"What did I see? Mona Lisa, that painting was actually Mona Lisa, it was incredible!"
"Oh my God, I'm not going to be dazzled, am I? How did Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa end up here, isn't this priceless painting in the Louvre?
With these frantic exclamations, the Canal Antique Bazaar scene was immediately detonated.
"How is that possible? How could the Mona Lisa be here? I must be hallucinating!"
"Could it be that the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is fake, and this is the real work of Leonardo da Vinci? If so, this is definitely a major discovery that has caused a sensation in the world, and it will definitely rewrite the history of art!"
In an exclamation, Ye Tian suddenly picked up the oil painting on the table, held it high above his head, and displayed it in front of all the onlookers at the scene.
At the same time, his clear voice also came out, reaching the ears of everyone at the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I call a major discovery, enough to make a sensation in the world, and the birth of this oil painting will surely rewrite the history of Western art.
But this is not Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, but a sister painting to the Mona Lisa, which is in no way inferior in artistry to the Mona Lisa.
What's more, this oil painting is even more perfectly preserved, and I have identified it as an authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci, a priceless and priceless work of art!"
With his words, the Milan Canal Antique Market, as well as countless live broadcasts, like boiling craters, began to violently gush the hottest and hottest magma!
