Chapter: 6361

The man walked in, furious, shouting: "Where's the boss? Get out of my way!"

Zhou Liaying looked at him and asked: "I'm the boss. What do you have to say?"

The man ground his teeth and cursed: "My brother sold something that belonged to me to you, didn't he? And isn't it true that this thing is stolen from my father's inheritance? If you don't return the thing, I'll report you to the police!"

Zhou Lianging laughed: "If it really was your brother who stole it, then you should report him to the police, not me. What am I supposed to do?"

"Nonsense!" the man shouted back: "The thing isn't yours! You're just receiving stolen goods and you know that's a crime! Receiving stolen goods is equivalent to committing a crime, you know that!"

Zhou Liaying laughed again: "I'm sorry, it's not up to me to decide whether something is stolen or not. If you have any legal awareness, you should know that only the law enforcement agency can determine the nature of the thing. Otherwise, anyone can just sell something to me and then someone will come along saying it's stolen and I should return it. Then what would my business be like?"

The man was taken aback but still gritted his teeth: "I'm warning you not to play word games with me here. That thing is mine, and when my brother sold it, he didn't know its true value! You're buying it at such a low price while it's worth so much, that's fraud! And the thing itself has a suspicious origin. You have to return it to me! If not, I'll shut down your store!"

The people in the shop looked at Zhou Liaying in surprise.

They didn't know what was behind the scenes, but when they heard the man say this, they all thought that Zhou Liaying must have seen something good about this thing, but he wasn't saying it out loud. Although there's nothing wrong with this, it's still a little unsavory.

"'A joke,' Zhou Liaying said calmly, 'Bright sky, open fields, you're saying I can't run my store without this thing? Then I won't run it either?'"

"'And to make things worse, when your brother sold me this item, I had already explicitly told him it's from the Northern Song Dynasty, and I also explicitly told him that it's worth over a million. He didn't listen;'

"I even warned him that if he doesn't hurry, he can leave it with me and let me sell it for him, and I'll only take 10% commission. But he still didn't listen;"

"Finally, I took another step back and proposed that we split the profits 50-50 after selling the item. He refused again, and this time he only wanted to sell it for 300,000, with no haggling room left. And here at my place, I have surveillance footage, so how can you accuse me of fraud now?'"

"As Zhou Liaying was speaking, he noticed that there were many people present and began, 'Since we all know what's going on here, I'll ask everyone to bear witness. Now, let's show this video to everyone and see if it's really me who's committing fraud against your so-called brother!'"

"That scoundrel heard these words and felt a bit anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to back down at this point. He stiffened his neck and coldly said, 'What do you want to show? It's unnecessary! The item is yours, just give it back to me! I won't take a single yuan less than 300,000!'"

"Zhou Liaying said calmly, 'If you don't want to watch, then let everyone else see. If you continue to cause trouble, I can call the police and show them this video too.'"

"As he was speaking, he took out his phone, opened the video that he had already saved earlier, and played it in front of everyone."

"The entire transaction process from yesterday evening was presented without a single mistake, right before everyone's eyes."

"In fact, everyone had felt beforehand that Zhou Liaying must have been up to something shady when he bought this item at such a high price. He definitely took advantage of the situation to pressure the other party into selling it cheaply and then fooled them out of a big deal."

"As soon as everyone finished watching the video, no one could say a word due to shock."

"Because the video clearly showed Zhou Liaying's actions towards the copper Buddha seller, revealing all information in real-time, including the item's actual age, value, and similar items' auction records, everything was laid bare before their eyes."

"This kind of behavior was simply unprecedented in the antique industry."

"What impressed people even more was that after knowing all the information, the other party still agreed to sell the item for 300,000 yuan to Zhou Liaying, but Zhou Liaying continued to persuade them, hoping they could retain more benefits."

"However, even though Zhou Liaying had already poured his heart and soul into it, the other party was determined to sell and said so - after all, he wanted 300,000 yuan."

"So, seeing this, everyone also became very clear that Zhou Liaying didn't have any flaws throughout the purchasing process." JrNovels.com
