Chapter 7: Selling Old Age

I, Shao Yuan, immediately stepped forward and stopped the grandfather and grandson.

"What?"

The child's grandmother, holding the child in one hand, looked at Zhen Shao Yuan with a vigilant look.

The child’s grandmother actually doesn’t look old. She is probably in her fifties at most, and has just retired.

Zhen Shao Yuan pointed at the broken figurine and said, "What? Your kid pushed me, and I don't mind. But he broke my things, so shouldn't he apologize and compensate me?"

The child's grandmother looked back at the figurine thrown on the ground.

When I heard Shao Yuan ask for compensation, I immediately jumped up in anger.

"What compensation? You're such a grown-up, why are you still arguing with a child? They're just some toys for children to play with, can't you just pick them up? Your thing almost hit me, and I haven't asked you for compensation yet. How dare you ask me for compensation?"

"Your grandson stole my things and threw them at you, and you still want me to compensate you? Ha."

I, Shao Yuan, seemed to have heard a funny joke.

"You broke my things. If you don't compensate me, then don't even think about leaving."

A figurine costs five hundred thousand. I, Shao Yuan, cannot afford to pay for it.

Even if I can afford the compensation, I will not pay for other people's mistakes.

The child's grandmother was being unreasonable. "It's just a broken toy, and you won't let us go? I think you just want to blackmail us, right? Do you believe that I'm lying here now?"

The child next to her also saw the fallen figurine. He was still struggling and howling like a wolf, but immediately pointed at the figurine on the ground with excitement and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, Shifang, it's Shifang. I want that, I want Shifang."

His grandmother said with a look of disgust: "What do you want? It's just a broken toy. It's broken. We don't want it. Grandma will buy you a new one."

"I want that, I want that. If you don't give it to me, I won't go back. I won't go back." The child just sat on the ground and rolled around in a naughty manner.

"Okay, okay, here you go. Hurry up and stand up. The ground is cold."

His grandmother couldn't do anything about him.

The child immediately got up from the ground and ran over to pick up the figurine.

He was quite fast and picked up the figurine with a broken arm on the ground before Shao Yuan could do so.

Then he wanted to pick up other figures, but they were picked up by I, Shao Yuan.

As soon as the child saw that the figurine was picked up by Shao Yuan, he immediately wanted to grab it.

"Give it to me, give it to me, it's all mine."

I, Shao Yuan, frowned, holding the box of the figurine in one hand and grabbing the child's collar with the other hand to prevent him from getting close.

When the child saw that he didn't get the figurine, he immediately yelled at the top of his lungs: "Let me go, let me go, grandma, grandma, this little bastard is bullying me, beat him to death!"

"Hey, you little bastard, let go of my darling grandson."

The child's grandmother picked up the bag in her hand and was about to hit me, Shao Yuan.

A hand with distinct joints and slender fingers grabbed the child's grandmother's wrist from behind.

"Which little bastard dares to meddle in other people's business?"

The child's grandmother looked back and was stunned for a moment.

There was a tall and handsome young man standing behind her.

The young man was a whole head taller than her, with a polite and distant smile on his face.

"Ma'am, it's extremely uncivilized and impolite to hit someone. Please respect yourself."

The child's grandmother's heart trembled, and she instantly felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.

But she still pretended to be calm, her voice trembling as she said, "I...my business, why do you have to meddle in it? I'm about to fight, what can you do to me? Believe it or not, I'm lying here right now. If you don't give me a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, don't even think about getting me up."

People nowadays are afraid of trouble, so every time she uses this trick, it works.

Everyone was afraid that she would do this.

However, the young man was not afraid of her.

Instead, he said lightly, "If you have such a preference, please do so. We will not stop you."

As soon as the word "we" fell, more than a dozen men in black walked out from behind the young man.

Make a circle around it.

Seeing such a big commotion, the people around stopped and looked over.

Some people even reflexively picked up their phones and turned on the video function to start filming.

When the child's grandmother saw the situation, panic finally appeared on her face, and she immediately started yelling.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to kidnap us in public? Do you still have any Chinese law left?"

However, the group of men in black didn't even look at her, but just stood there with their hands behind their backs, not moving.

The young man in black ignored her.

Instead, he walked directly in front of Zhen Shao Yuan and bowed slightly to him, "Master, I'm sorry, we are late."

Young master?

The onlookers looked at Zhen Shao Yuan in surprise when they heard this name.

This scene scared the child. He immediately took two steps back, then grabbed the figurine in his hand and ran behind his grandmother.

The child's grandmother reacted immediately and shouted at Zhen Shao Yuan, "You little bastard! It's just a little toy, and you actually gathered so many people. Do you think you can scare me like this? Do you believe I will call the police?"

"Call the police?" Zhen Shao Yuan sneered, "Okay, you call, I'll wait here. You broke my 500,000 yuan figurine, so it's just right for the police to come and deal with the compensation issue."

I, Shao Yuan, just feel that I am unlucky enough today.

I actually brought upon myself such an unexpected disaster. And the other party still maintained this attitude.

"Five hundred thousand? Why don't you just go and rob them?"

The child's grandmother pointed at Zhen Shao Yuan and cursed, "Okay, I get it. Are you trying to scam me? Don't even think about it. I'm calling the police now."

Originally, she just wanted to ask to scare these people.

Now, I really have to call the police.

Because she felt that the people in front of her were trying to scam her.

I, Shao Yuan, said coldly, "Okay. I'll wait."

The young man in black beside him said respectfully to Zhen Shao Yuan, "Young Master, let us handle it from now on."

"You guys handle it?" Zhen Shao Yuan asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." The young man smiled.

Why?

I, Shao Yuan, was puzzled. He thought he had to handle this himself.

System: "Host has successfully completed the mission. All couriers will be responsible for the transportation of the goods, including any loss of goods."

That's a good feeling.

I, Shao Yuan, am delighted. This way, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

When the onlookers heard that a figurine cost 500,000 yuan, they were immediately shocked.

"Five hundred thousand? What kind of figurine is worth five hundred thousand? Could it be that these people are really trying to scam me?"

"But that seems to be a figure of Shifang. And, from the looks of it, it seems to be a collector's edition."

"A collector's edition figurine of ten sold for 3.6 million previously. One would have been 360,000 at most. But he's asking 500,000 for this one."

"It must be fake. Collector's edition figures are so rare. The one at the comic convention was brought out by the organizer's boss. He was holding a bunch of small boxes. He couldn't possibly be holding a whole set."

"But it seems that man brought so many bodyguards with him, and he seems to be a rich man. Maybe it's true."

"No matter whether it's true or not, I just saw it. It was the kid who pushed the person first, and then threw his things. He broke his things. He should be compensated."

The police arrived in just over ten minutes, very quickly.

When the child’s grandmother saw the police arrive, she immediately felt like she had found a savior.

He no longer had the arrogant look he had just now.

He grabbed the police and started crying.

"You're finally here. If you hadn't come, my grandson and I might have been kidnapped by them. I didn't bother with them when their thing hit me. But they're asking me to pay them back. For a small toy, they're asking us to pay half a million. Don't you think this isn't robbery?"

"When I refused, they grabbed us and wouldn't let us leave. They even threatened us. Look at them, they all look vicious and ferocious. They might have criminal records. Arrest them quickly."

The police frowned when they heard this, but they didn't completely believe what she said.

Instead, he turned to ask Zhao Zhongzhong, who seemed to be the one in charge, Emperor Shao Yuan.

"Is what she said true?"

Of course I, Shao Yuan, cannot allow her to make up stories.

He opened his mouth and prepared to retort.

Then the young man in black stood up and said to Shao Yuan, "Master, let us handle this matter."

"Okay, come on."

Someone is handling it, so I, Shao Yuan, can save some effort.

I, Shao Yuan, watched the young man in black recount what had just happened, word for word, even the smallest details.

It was as if he was there at the time.

Moreover, he spoke slowly and his voice was so pleasant and sincere that one could not help but believe what he said.

"If you don't believe me, officers, we have evidence here. Please take a look."

After saying that, the young man took out a mobile phone from his pocket and opened a video to show the police.

The video started with the kid deliberately pushing Shao Yuan.

The video is very clear and captures exactly what happened.

Even what the two sides said could be vaguely heard.

After watching the entire video, the two policemen looked at each other.

One of the police officers, who looked to be around 30 years old, said directly to the child's grandmother, "Auntie, we've watched the video. It's true that your child stole someone's things and broke them. It's not a scam. They should pay compensation."

The child's grandmother saw that something was wrong and knew she couldn't make excuses.

He then said, "It's just a broken toy, what's the big deal? It's not like we can't afford to pay for it. But they asked for 500,000 right away, which is tantamount to robbery."

The older, middle-aged policeman with a beer belly turned to Zhen Shao Yuan and said, "Sir, you should pay compensation, but you can't be so outrageous. Five hundred thousand is indeed too much and unreasonable."

"Two officers, our young master's request for 500,000 is very reasonable. Because that set of figures is originally worth 500,000 each. This is the purchase record of our young master's ten figures."

The young man in black picked up his phone again and showed the police Shao Yuan's card swiping records.

The child's grandmother also came over and took a look.

After seeing that 5 million yuan was indeed swiped through the card, the child's grandmother felt a pang in her heart.

Then he shouted, "What purchase record? Who knows if this is fake? Besides, it's just a small toy, how could it cost five million? Even if it was made of gold, it wouldn't cost that much. Don't try to bully an old man like me."

He is only in his fifties and has only a few gray hairs, but he already wants to act old.

Although her words were unpleasant, there was some truth to what she said.

Therefore, the police also told the young man in black: "This card payment record cannot be used as evidence. If you need to claim compensation, you must provide clear evidence."

"Of course." The man in black took out another purchase contract. The contract stated the purchase price of ten figures and the three figures that would be given as gifts.

When I, Shao Yuan, saw the purchase contract, my eyes widened.

He clearly remembered that this thing was not there when he bought the action figure just now.

Where did this person in front of me come from?

The policeman took the purchase contract and looked at it, and the two looked at each other again.

It was not until now that they discovered that the so-called small toy was actually Shifang's collector's edition figure.

And it’s a customized version.

The price for custom-made products reached six million.

Now, they want 500,000, which is 100,000 cheaper.

The young man in black continued, "If the two police officers still find it unbelievable, we can ask someone from the Ten Directions officialdom to appraise the figurine in the child's hand."

The two policemen looked at each other again.

Since people say so, the figure must be real.

The young policeman had no choice but to say to the child's grandmother, "Ma'am, we have checked all the documents and there is indeed a problem with the price."

"Really? I said they must be trying to defraud money."

The child's grandmother looked excited, thinking that the two policemen must have found evidence of fraud.

"There's definitely a problem with the price, but they charged less, not more. The figure was originally priced at 600,000. They asked for 500,000, which is already 100,000 less."

When the young policeman saw that those figures were worth millions, he couldn't help but sigh in emotion.

This rich man is really extravagant.

Just a random set of figures can earn you more money than others can possibly earn in their entire lifetime.

"What? Six hundred thousand?"

The child's grandmother was immediately furious.

"You're all in the same group, aren't you? You're asking for 600,000 for a broken toy? You must be in the same group, officials and gangsters are one family. I'm going to sue you."

After saying that, she shouted at the people around her.

"Come on, everyone, come and see! The police and the fraudsters are in cahoots, working together to defraud penniless people like me. Is there any justice in the world?"

The two policemen didn't expect that this man would be so unreasonable. He even turned around and scolded them.

They even accused them of collusion in fraud? They didn't dare to bear such a crime.

The middle-aged policeman frowned, "Ma'am, you can't say such things. Slandering the police is a crime."

Instead of restraining herself, the child's grandmother started shouting even more brazenly, "Alright, now you're threatening me. I'm telling you, I won't be scared by you. Everyone here, hurry up and take a video of all these people. Put it online so others can see how they're working together to threaten an old woman like me."
