"So, look, none of you ever uploaded any photo of the painting with the cloth still covering it to your website for public viewing, yet I can produce an identical image. Tell me, could it be that you yourselves leaked the secret?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Elgar shook his head again and again in denial. "For the sake of the owner, we would never do such a thing."
"Exactly." Gu Nuan pointed out, "Look more closely, look carefully. Under the covered painting, isn't there a line of tiny characters and a family seal?"
Elgar actually didn't need to study the picture, because when Xiao Shulan had this painting sent to them through a third party, they had examined it thoroughly, and it was indeed so.
"That's correct." Elgar's voice dropped even lower as he spoke. What Gu Nuan was saying was getting closer and closer to the truth; in other words, there was a real possibility her claim that their painting was fake was true.
