Chapter 24: A Collision? (4)

  Since it has been determined that the partners also have problems, their words cannot be trusted. Everything will be known once Hua Chang and others arrive. For now, only use the previous delaying tactics.

  Seeing Lin Yue wanting to buy something, his companions not only didn't show excitement but were very anxious. In a place where Lin Yue couldn't see, they frequently exchanged glances with the four people who came earlier. However, those four people, although anxious, had 600,000 yuan in front of them and didn't want to leave. As long as Lin Yue didn't run away, it would be in line with their wishes.

  Lin Yue was also anxious in his heart. It was already eight o'clock, and He Chang had not appeared yet, so he could only take a casual look around the store.

  Lin Yue turned around in Rong Le Xuan and found that the decorations inside were very particular, some places looked like ancient shops, while others blended modern elements, complementing each other, and interesting as well.

  Soon, a steady footstep appeared at the door.

  Lin Yue knew He Chang and had arrived. Hearing the footsteps, that fellow's face changed and he hastily went out to greet him.

  "Has Lin jumped yet?" He Chang's voice came from outside.

  "No, yesterday someone sent a porcelain antique to you from Old Master Wang, but you weren't here so it was left here. It's now upstairs, would you like to go take a look first?" the shop assistant asked, his voice trembling slightly.

  "All right, then Lin Yue jumped and let him come up directly."

  "Don't worry, I'll tell him."

  Two people were talking when He Chang and had already walked into Rong Le Xuan, seeing the four people not far from the entrance, they paused for a moment, looking at each other in confusion.

  The fellow hastily said: "These are a few guests who have come here to see some things."

  "Oh, treat me well, don't let customers think that Rong Le Xuan's service attitude is bad." He Chang glanced casually and didn't notice Lin Yue who was blocked by the pillar.

  "Don't worry, I'll make sure they feel at home."

  The buddy saw He Chang and wanted to go upstairs, while Lin Yue had no reaction at all, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If the other party called out to He Lao to verify the authenticity of the porcelain, this matter would be big trouble.

  The four people next to him saw his companion let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but put their hearts back.

  Just as they thought everything was settled, Lin Yue's voice rose again, sending chills down their spines.

  "Hello, old man, I've arrived."

  As he spoke, Lin Yue jumped over the pillar that was blocking his way and walked forward.

  When Lin Yue said this, his companion's face changed color and became very ugly.

  "Lin Yue, you've arrived early, I thought you were late, haha, looks like it's me who's late." He Chang heard Lin Yue's voice and immediately turned around, his face which had become gloomy due to thinking Lin Yue hadn't arrived suddenly lit up with a smile.

  He Changhe's words were no sooner out than his partner's face turned ashen.

  The four people next to them suddenly came back to their senses when they saw the situation in front of them, and it turned out that the person who had collided with them was actually acquainted with He Changhe, a master of ceramics who was one of the best in the country. The relationship between them seemed quite familiar too. The four people were also old hands at colliding with others, and seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, they quickly ran away.

  Lin Yue, who was standing aside, knew he had guessed correctly when he saw their expressions. He realized that he had indeed encountered a "碰瓷" (a scammer). Seeing the man trying to run away, Lin Yue immediately rushed forward and grabbed his arm, but the other party reacted too quickly, allowing him to only grab onto his sleeve.

  With a "ripping" sound, the man's sleeve was torn off in a large piece, and the ceramic shards in his opponent's hand also fell to the ground.

  Lin Yue didn't have time to be surprised at how easily the man's name-brand suit was torn off, and took advantage of the momentary distraction to pounce on him, embracing him tightly. However, the man's body was too agile, and in his haste, he didn't notice anything else, directly shedding his jacket and slipping out of Lin Yue's grasp, making a swift escape.

  Lin Yue held the suit in his hand, stunned. As soon as he touched the suit, Lin Yue knew that it was definitely a fake. The texture and the genuine product were worlds apart, at most it was something you'd find on a street stall for a few hundred yuan.

  The buddy saw that things were not right and also ran away with his legs spread apart. However, Lin Yue reacted and kicked him to the ground.

  Lin Yue pounced on him and grabbed him with his tricky grappling skills he learned in college, pinning him firmly to the ground.

  "What's going on here?"

  Because things happened too quickly, He Chang and his partner didn't react in time. By the time they did, their store's apprentice was already pinned to the ground by Lin Yue.

  Lin Yue raised his partner's arm straight up towards the opponent's upper back, and the partner on the ground immediately gritted their teeth in pain.

  "I arrived a bit early today, so I strolled around this Jade Street and ended up running into a group of pickpockets."

  Lin Yue quickly told about the cause and effect of what happened today.

  He Chang and Ting listened to the air, their eyes bursting with anger. He glared at his partner on the ground and asked coldly: "Xue Shan, is what Lin Yue said true?"

  "I'm really being wronged! I did sell them a Qing Dynasty bean-green glaze vase with elephant ears this morning, it was genuine, I don't know how they managed to get a fake one!" Xue Shan said tearfully, his tone full of grievance.

  He Chang hesitated for a moment, and indeed there was a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period bean green glaze elephant ear vase in his own store. He looked towards the place where the elephant ear vase was placed and found that it was gone.

  Lin Yue saw the expression on He Changhe's face and knew that he had already had some doubts in his heart, but he could be sure that Xue Shan, who was captured by him, must have a problem, so he asked: "Then why did you want to run just now?"

  "I was going to chase after them! I saw you chasing after them so I followed along too."

  Xue Shan's words left Lin Yue speechless, knowing that the other was being evasive, but unable to find a reason to refute. Just as he was about to look up and ask He Lao what to do, he inadvertently saw two slips of paper in the pocket of his torn suit, and a plan formed in his mind. He asked Xue Shan under him: "You said you sold them an elephant ear bottle today, did it open?"

  Xue Shan's body suddenly tensed up upon hearing this, which made Lin Yue feel it clearly.

  "Of course it's open, how can you buy things in our store if it's not open?" Xue Shan's tone was no longer as tough as before.

  Lin Yue only asked one question, if it really opened, it means that Xue Shan really sold an elephant ear bottle for Rong Le Xuan, and his suspicion would be cleared. If the other party is guilty, it proves that what he has in his hand is fake, and he didn't sell the elephant ear bottle at all. Because there must be income, this is very important evidence. Lin Yue knew through Xue Shan's reaction that his subordinate Xue Shan was indeed problematic.

  Lin Yue raised his head and said to He Chang, "He Lao, would you mind checking at the counter if there's any transaction information from this morning?"
