Just as Zhao Qiqi summoned the Thirteen Bodyguards to the main store in a grand procession.

Lin Yu and his two companions were completely unaware of this and were waiting for Uncle Long's response.

Half an hour later, Uncle Long slowly returned to the reception room.

Liu Hao hurriedly asked, "Manager Long, how is it? Can you redeem my things now?"

Manager Long said calmly, "Please be patient. Because too much time has passed, I'm having someone verify the previous procedures. If there are no problems with the procedures, I will redeem you naturally. You don't need to worry!"

After a while, a shop assistant came over and handed Uncle Long a receipt.

Uncle Long glanced at it and shook his head helplessly.

Liu Hao couldn't help but frown and ask, "Manager Long, what do you mean by this?"

Uncle Long sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, it's not that I don't want you to redeem your things, but you and your father pawned anonymously, and anonymous pawning means the items are considered 'dead'! According to our pawnshop's rules, if it's an active pawn, you can redeem it within the time limit, but if it's a dead pawn, you can redeem it within the time limit, but once the time limit is over, then I'm sorry, the items belong to our pawnshop!"

"What? A dead pawn?" Liu Hao jumped up, shaking his head repeatedly. "Impossible! When we pawned it, there was no such thing. I remember that your big boss, Zhao Xishun, personally inspected the item. He didn't mention 'live pawn' or 'dead pawn' at the time, but he said that when the Liu family came to redeem it, as long as we had the ransom, he would definitely redeem it for us!"

Uncle Long's lips curled up slightly as he gestured with the order slip and said, "Come and see, the receipts are all here, and it's all clearly written on them. We operate through the system, and you personally recorded the fingerprints, so there can't be any mistake!"

Liu Hao's face flushed red as he said, "You're cheating! My father said that your Zhao Family Pawnshop was trustworthy and reliable. If he had known you would do this, he should have insisted that you issue a pawn ticket!"

Uncle Long wore an indifferent expression, simply sipping his tea quietly, not wanting to explain anything further.

Lin Yu frowned slightly.

How could he not see that the other party was denying it?

He knew that Zhao Xishun loved Huang Zhu as much as his own life.

He never intended to use the debt of saving his life to force the other party to hand over the yellow pearl. That's why he brought Liu Hao here to properly redeem it.

But to my surprise, the other party still cheated.

This isn't just disrespecting Liu Hao, it's disrespecting Lin Yu!

Lin Yu's expression slowly darkened. "Zhao's Pawnshop has a good reputation, and I thought they were doing business with integrity. Now it seems they are nothing but charlatans!"

"Insolence!" Uncle Long slammed his hand on the table, and an invisible pressure suddenly radiated outwards, like an angry Vajra.

"Boy, our Zhao family pawnshop has weathered decades of storms and is a golden brand in Xidu. How dare you, a mere child, slander it! If you dare to spout nonsense again, believe me, I'll rip out your tongue!" Uncle Long roared.

The words had barely left his mouth when, whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps sounded outside, and a dozen or so burly men in coarse linen clothes walked in, carrying wooden sticks.

These men were all tall and muscular, clearly not ordinary martial arts practitioners.

Indeed, these are all guards from the Zhao family's main pawnshop, and they are all highly skilled guards trained by the Zhao family!

Uncle Long snorted coldly, "Mr. Liu, you can leave now. Let's call this matter over. If you insist on making trouble for yourself, I can't guarantee you'll leave unscathed!"

"Don't even think about reporting this to the authorities. First of all, all our procedures are legal and legitimate. Secondly, you can't even imagine the background of Zhao's Pawnshop. Take my advice and don't make trouble for yourself!" Uncle Long's words carried a subtle warning.

Actually, he was already thinking of Liu Hao's best interests, because if the Second Miss brought the Thirteen Protectors and others, the situation would likely become even more uncontrollable!

After saying this, Uncle Long coldly looked at Lin Yu again, "As for you two, hehe, I'm afraid you won't be leaving today. My young lady has specifically named you as her dead. Kneel down and surrender now, and perhaps you can leave more easily in a while!"

Lin Yu and Feng Jiu raised their eyebrows.

What's wrong?

Is this a case of someone getting so angry that they'd even kill their savior?

Now they realized that the Zhao family members were not exactly kind people!

However, Lin Yu and his companion felt no pressure facing these thugs.

Liu Hao glanced at Lin Yu, knowing what Lin Yu was thinking, then turned to Uncle Long and sneered, "I'm just here to redeem my own things. My father chose to pawn them anonymously to avoid trouble, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to take advantage of me! However, the Liu family isn't easy to bully. I warn you, you'd better hand over your things, or don't blame me for being impolite!!"

"Heh, you're not going to be polite?" Uncle Long chuckled. "Young man, who do you think you are? What right do you have to yell at me on my Zhao family's turf!"

"What right do you have? Humph, I'll tell you right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hao ran towards Uncle Long.

Uncle Long's face darkened, and before he could speak, more than a dozen burly men rushed towards Liu Hao, trying to stop him.

But... bang bang bang!

A dozen seconds later, everyone was lying on the ground without exception.

Everyone was seriously injured!

Liu Hao learned killing techniques in the military camp; he could kill instantly. Sparing their lives was already considered a mercy.

At this moment, Uncle Long's expression finally changed slightly. Just as Liu Hao was about to reach him, he slammed his hand on the table. The teacup on the table instantly flew up and shattered with a crack. Sharp shards and scalding tea rushed towards Liu Hao in one strike.
