Chapter 65 Meeting the Enemy
Ye Feng recognized the voice on the phone as belonging to a female shop assistant at Xing Wen's store, and quickly asked, "Where are you?"
The female shop assistant immediately replied, "We are at Xiangyu Pavilion on Jade Street."
Chu Guang was taken aback. He was right there on Jade Street. What a coincidence!
"Wait here, I'll be right there."
He hung up the phone, asked the shop behind him for the location of Xiangyuge, and then rushed over there.
at the same time.
Inside Xiangyu Pavilion, located in the center of Jade Street.
Xing Wen's pretty face was swollen with a handprint, and she was surrounded by several security guards.
"You're bullying us! What right do you have to hit us? And you won't let us leave! Waaah..."
The female shop assistant tried to rush in while crying, but a security guard pushed her to the ground.
"What's going on? Why are you being so rough with a girl?"
Just then, a mocking voice came from inside the store, and a young man dressed in designer clothes walked in.
The female saleswoman in the store saw him and quickly came over, saying respectfully, "Young Master Zhou, you've arrived."
Immediately, she pointed at Xing Wen: "This woman broke our bracelet worth millions, and not only did she refuse to pay compensation, she also accused us of extortion."
"Oh?"
Zhou Yutang feigned surprise and said, "Beautiful lady, that's not right of you. How can you not pay for the broken things and even tarnish the reputation of my Zhou family shop?"
Judging from his tone, Xing Wen thought he was the shop owner. She explained, "The bracelet was originally broken. I just picked it up, and your salesperson is saying I broke it. Isn't that extortion?"
After Chu Guang gave her ten million that day, she used the money to pay off most of her debts.
However, some debts remain unpaid.
I remembered today that I have an heirloom jade bracelet at home, and I'm going to take it to the jade market to have it appraised.
If it's valuable, she can sell it to pay off her debts, saving herself from the continued interest accrual, and she can start a new life.
Xiangyuge was a large store, so he brought Wang Nan inside.
She had the bracelet appraised by the craftsman, while she casually browsed the jewelry in the display case.
When the saleswoman saw her looking at the counter, she took out a bracelet from inside and handed it to her, saying that she should take a closer look.
Xing Wen didn't want to watch it, since she couldn't afford it anyway.
But the saleswoman had already handed it to her, and she felt embarrassed to refuse, so she prepared to take a look and then return it to her.
To everyone's surprise, the bracelet broke in two as soon as I got it.
The saleswoman immediately changed her attitude, saying the bracelet was worth ten million and demanding compensation at that price.
Xing Wen naturally refused, but the saleswoman insisted that the bracelet broke in her possession and wouldn't let her leave without compensation.
At this moment, Xing Wen realized that she had fallen into someone's trap.
He got into an argument with the female saleswoman, and she slapped him and called security to surround him.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Nan remembered that Ye Feng was very capable, so she called him for help.
"The bracelet's break is old; it must have broken a long time ago. I didn't break it."
Xing Wen suddenly remembered and explained.
"The old one?"
Zhou Yutang joked, "With jade, no one can guarantee whether it's new or old."
"How can you prove he's old? Just by looking?"
For items like jade and other precious stones, the age can be roughly determined by their craftsmanship and the color of the patina.
It is impossible to determine the time of fracture based on the fracture surface alone.
"You...you're extorting me!"
Xing Wen only felt that the break was old, but she couldn't provide any evidence.
But she was certain that she hadn't used any force and couldn't have broken the bracelet.
"I want to call the police and let them uphold justice."
"Call the police?"
Zhou Yutang sneered, "I have CCTV footage here. The bracelet did break in your hand. Even if the police come, you'll still have to pay for it."
"No, the bracelet broke on its own. The police will definitely give me justice."
Xing Wen shook her head vigorously.
"Beautiful lady, you are so naive."
Zhou Yutang said with a mocking expression, "Even if we didn't have surveillance cameras, do you think the police would help you?"
"Believe it or not, when they come, they won't even look at the security footage; they'll just assume you broke the bracelet."
"justice?"
"That depends on who you're dealing with!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Wen's pretty face turned pale.
Yes, where is there any true justice in this world?
Nowadays, the judicial system is outsourced, and prisons are controlled by private individuals.
With money and power, even black can be turned into white.
The young man in front of me clearly comes from an extraordinary background. To be able to open such a large store as Xiangyu Pavilion, he must be the young master of some powerful family.
Xing Wen felt a wave of despair as she thought about how she had just paid off her debts and was about to incur another ten million in debt.
Living... is so hard...
"Heh, what a boastful tone!"
Just then, a cheerful male voice came from the shop entrance.
Xing Wen's expression shifted, and she immediately turned her head to look, only to see Ye Feng stride into Xiangyu Pavilion.
"Ye Feng..."
When Xing Wen saw him, her eyes instantly reddened, and she felt a little worried.
This is Xiangyu Pavilion. The person who can open such a big store must be extraordinary. I wonder if Ye Feng can handle it.
Zhou Yutang's eyes narrowed when he saw Ye Feng, and he shouted angrily, "It's you!"
Who are you?
Ye Feng glanced at him, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Don't you recognize me?"
Zhou Yutang narrowed his eyes, seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, and then became even angrier: "You dog, you beat me up in the mountains that day, and you've actually forgotten about me?"
"Oh?"
Ye Feng looked him over carefully again before he remembered.
"So it was you, the guy who wanted to take advantage of Feng Jingjing."
"Call him Zhou... Zhou Ah Mao or something."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yutang flew into a rage: "My name is Zhou Yutang, Zhou Yutang of the Zhou family!"
"Is the Zhou family so powerful? Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Ye Feng picked at his ear, looking completely unconcerned.
Xing Wen, standing beside her, suddenly realized something.
No wonder Zhou Yutang made her pay ten million in compensation; it turns out the other party was Zhou's young master, the backer of Ah Hu and those thugs.
It seems today's events were not an accident...
Knowing Zhou Yutang's identity only deepened her worries.
The Zhou family is one of the three most powerful families in China, and they are not people that can be trifled with.
"Kid, looks like you're the bastard who stood up for this woman and swindled ten million from my men."
"Since you're here, then obediently spit out the money and kowtow to me to apologize."
Zhou Yutang stopped pretending and looked at Ye Feng with a sinister expression.
That day, Ah Hu and the others returned and immediately reported the matter to him.
Because there was too little time, and they hadn't yet found out Ye Feng's identity, they decided to deal with Xing Wen first.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng actually delivered himself to their doorstep.
"Why should I give back the money I extorted through my own abilities?" Ye Feng said calmly.
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant!"
Zhou Yutang said coldly, "Today you not only have to return the money, but you also have to pay an additional ten million for the bracelets."
"Otherwise, you won't be leaving here!"
Ye Feng looked at him and sneered, "You? Didn't you get enough of a beating last time?"
