Chapter: 117

The old man trembled with fear and said, "I didn't mean it, this bottle is just too slippery......"

Zhou Liangyun spoke coldly, "Don't waste my time! I'll give you an afternoon to gather money. If you can't pay up, I'll report you for intentionally damaging others' property, and the value of the case is over 5 million yuan, enough to put you in prison!"

Xie Changkun was startled and his whole body stiffened, looking at Ye Chen as if he saw a lifeline: "Ye Chen, my good son-in-law! You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Dad, I don't have that much money either!"

Xie Changkun hastily blurted out, "Then you go to jail for me! I've raised you from childhood, it's time for you to return the favor!"

Ye Chen thought to himself, how can you have the face to say such things?

Just as he was about to refuse, a middle-aged man spoke up first: "Injustice has a head and debt has a master. Our Ji Qing Tang is in business, and we're very concerned with credibility. The bottle was broken by you, so you need to compensate us!"

He then said to Ye Chen, "You can go now, but it's best if you help him gather enough money. Otherwise, after this afternoon, I'll send him to the police station!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Xie Changkun was shocked and cried out, "You can't leave me now! What will I do?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile at his reaction.

But he didn't dare to show it on his face.

He was thinking of an excuse to leave and let his father-in-law suffer for a while longer.

However, he suddenly thought of the ancient method of repairing ceramics mentioned in the "Nine Heavens Classic", so his heart moved and he said, "If I can repair that jade vase, can you please let my father-in-law go?"

Zhou Liang ran a cold smile and said, "You think you're someone who can fix antiques? In all honesty, I've already sent the photos to the experts at the Jinling Museum for appraisal. They said it's broken beyond repair."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "The vase is already broken, so what's the point of keeping it? I'll try anyway...it won't hurt anything."

Zhou Liang sneered and said, "Fine! Let me see if you have any skills!"

Ye Chen said, "Prepare a piece of paper, a brush, five chicken eggs, and make sure they're fertile."

Ye Chen waited to see what kind of joke Zhou Liang would make, and didn't hesitate to quickly find a basket of fertile chicken eggs for him.

However, he still couldn't help but mockingly say, "Using chicken eggs to repair cultural artifacts, I've never seen such a method before. I'm warning you, don't try to pull the wool over my eyes. Either you pay up or we'll take your father-in-law to court and get him locked up for life for 5 million yuan."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "What if it's good?"

Zhou Liang sneered and said, "If it's genuinely restored and able to recover most of the loss, you can all leave!"

"Alright!" Ye Chen nodded again: "Let this be my word of honor!"

After that, he didn't talk to him anymore, picked up his brush, and sketched out the outline of a ceramic vase on paper.

Then, he broke open one of the chicken eggs and dipped his finger in the egg white, applying it to a fragment of the broken vase and pressing it onto the paper model. He continued to apply fragments to the model, gradually covering it with pieces of antique ceramics... JrNovels.com
