  ************

  The antique jade street was already crowded with people at seven o'clock, the early bird catches the worm, so the vendors came very early, and those who intended to pick up bargains came even earlier. If there were any good goods appearing on this street, someone would buy them immediately. There are not just one or two people with sharp eyes here.

  The people walking back and forth in front of him may not be dressed too luxuriously, but Lin Yue didn't dare to underestimate them at all, because wealth is not revealed, it's possible that anyone here is richer than himself.

  Lin Yueh learned the direction of Rong Le Xuan's location from someone, and then slowly strolled around. Anyway, it was still early, and half an hour had passed without any problem.

  Lin Yue walked casually on the street, with vendors selling antiques and calligraphy lining both sides of the road. Many stalls were surrounded by crowds of people, while the antique shops nearby looked deserted and neglected, with hardly anyone visiting them. Connoisseurs would pick through the street stalls, while those who didn't know much about antiques would browse the shops. This was because it was easier to find hidden gems at the street stalls, which were also relatively cheaper, although there were many fakes among them. The antique shops had more genuine items, but they were expensive and clearly priced. Those who didn't know much about antiques but wanted to buy genuine ones would go to the shops, even though it wasn't guaranteed that what they bought was real. However, the chances of buying something authentic were higher at the shops than at the street stalls. The antique shops weren't targeting bargain hunters, so they didn't feel threatened by the popularity of the street stalls.

  Lin Yue turned around and saw many stalls selling jade wool, due to space constraints, the jade wool was very small and not of good quality, but with a low probability of winning. These were prepared for those who came to play, maybe they could open up a piece of jade and become rich overnight. Without unexpected wealth, one cannot become rich, without nighttime grass, a horse will not get fat. Everyone has the lazy psychology of becoming rich overnight, this psychology has harmed batch after batch of people.

  Lin Yue turned a corner and found himself on a street that wasn't particularly wide, with various types of jade stones lined up on both sides. The shops along the street were either jade stores or specialized in selling jade carvings. Compared to the antique shop earlier, these jade stores looked more modern in terms of decoration, but they didn't lack any cultural atmosphere. Some stores even placed a large stone slab at their entrance with the store's name engraved on it. The font was bold and powerful, painted with red lacquer, giving off a festive vibe.

  Lin Yuxin's heart moved, he had learned a lot of knowledge in the processing plant for some time, and was thinking of trying his luck and his own eyesight, but suddenly thought that he still had to go to Rong Le Xuan to see He Chang and others, so he left reluctantly, there would be other opportunities later, no need to rush.

  Just as Lin Yue was about to turn around and leave, someone suddenly bumped into him head-on.

  "Ah!"

  The oncoming person let out a cry of surprise and was knocked to the ground, at the same time, a pale white bottle in his hand was also flung out.

  Lin Yue's hands were quick and his eyes were fast, but it was already too late. With a "bang", the bottle shattered into pieces.

  Lin Yue stared blankly at the ceramic shards on the ground, unable to react for a moment.

  At this time, the people on the ground saw the shattered porcelain on the ground and let out a loud wail. In a fit of rage, they jumped up and rushed in front of Lin Yue, grabbing his collar and roaring: "You compensate me for my elephant ear vase!!!"

  "What's with the elephant ear bottle?" Lin Yue was startled awake by the roar, and upon seeing the ceramic vessel with a pair of ring-shaped decorations resembling ears on the ground, he immediately understood.

  Lin Yue only then noticed the man in front of him, dressed as a successful person, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a gold watch on his hand, his hair slicked back, anger had twisted his face.

  How could I have knocked him down when I didn't even move?

  Lin Yue looked at the shattered vase and suddenly thought of " porcelain bumping" which he had heard others mention in Cang County's Yushi Street.

  "Collision porcelain" is a slang term in the antique world, which is said to have been "invented" by some declining Banner people at the end of the Qing Dynasty. These people usually hold a fake porcelain piece and walk around the bustling streets. Then, they wait for an opportunity to deliberately let the passing carriage or pedestrians "bump" into them, causing the porcelain in their hands to fall to the ground and shatter. As a result, the owner of the porcelain would sternly demand compensation from the carriage owner based on the price of a genuine and valuable porcelain piece.

  Did I just bump into a swindler today?

  Lin Yue took a look at the angry young man in front of him and didn't seem to be pretending.

  "Stop it, I'm not unwilling to compensate! Let me take a look at the porcelain first!" Lin Yue brushed off the hand that was grasping his collar.

  "Compensate? Can you afford to compensate? Just by looking at you, I can tell that you're a poor devil. You can't even afford to compensate!" The man looked at Lin Yue with disdain.

  "What did you say?" Lin Yue glared at the other person and asked coldly.

  The man saw Lin Yue's icy expression and his body involuntarily took a step back, then puffed out his chest and pretended to be very tough, saying: "Am I wrong? I said that the price of this porcelain would scare you, it's a porcelain that my 80-year-old grandmother had been searching for, she likes porcelain, now it's broken by you, how do we settle this? Not to mention this, this porcelain is a Qing dynasty Qianlong period bean green glaze elephant ear bottle worth 600,000 yuan on the market! Can you afford to compensate me? Even if you sell everything, you won't be able to get that much money!"

  "Six hundred thousand?" Lin's eyebrows furrowed, he hadn't heard much about the Bean Green Glaze Ear Bottle, but a price of six hundred thousand was indeed not something he could afford.

  "What? Can't afford to pay? You wait and see, I'll make you eat a lawsuit, I'll sue you and put you in prison!" The man sneered, clearly already at his wit's end.

  At this time, the people around had already gathered, busy inquiring what happened. The man recounted his grievances again, and the people around him responded with sympathetic sighs. When they heard that the man was going to send Lin Yue to prison, several kind-hearted people hastily advised:

  "Don't be so extreme in what you do, or else you might end up losing face and never being able to show your face again."

  "It's just money, isn't it? Giving you compensation will settle it."

  At this time, someone else began to persuade Lin Yue: "Brother, don't waste your youth for the sake of money, think about whether you can make do with it, if not, discuss and see if you can reduce a bit."

  "Money is a small matter, but your premise is a big deal! If you go to prison, what about your girlfriend and family? This will also leave a stain on your life, not worth it!"

  ……

  Lin Yuezhi quietly listened to the sounds around him, and at this time his heart became even calmer. He thought back and forth about what had happened before, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had encountered a swindler.

  First of all, I didn't move at all, let alone bump into the other person. On the contrary, it was the other person who bumped into me. This money may not necessarily be compensated by him.

  Secondly, the other party first used a contemptuous tone to infuriate him, causing him to lose his rationality, and only then did they mention the price, forcing him to pay up.
