"Isn't this a scam to extort money from someone by staging an accident?"

Seeing passersby crowding around to watch the commotion, shop owner Yu Weitao pointed at Wang Yueheng and said emotionally.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Wang Yueheng offered a word of comfort to the boss in front of him, then asked in a low voice.

"Well?"

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice of the heavily concealed customer, the shop owner, Yu Weitao, was taken aback for a moment.

He then pointed to the cat sculpture surrounded by the crowd and said indignantly, "We spent five thousand yuan to buy this ornament from a legitimate online channel, thinking it would look nicer in the store."

"As a result, this cultural and entertainment company came to us yesterday and said that our display violated their rights and demanded that we pay them 80,000 yuan in infringement fees."

"They even said they would sue us if we didn't pay, and that they would notify the industry and commerce bureau to shut down our shop! Tell me, is this even reasonable?!"

"I didn't make any money from this sculpture, and I bought it from a legitimate online store. I've given you the store's name and purchase record. Now that you've come looking for me, and I've agreed to move the piece, is that still not enough?"

While loudly explaining the whole story to Wang Yueheng, Yu Weitao angrily pointed at the lonely kitten sculpture on the ground, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"It's Yule Culture Co., Ltd., thank you!"

“This ‘Felix the Cat’ is a product for which we have applied for a cultural patent, and it is prohibited to display it commercially in public places.”

“We won’t interfere with how you look after it at home, but if it’s a business transaction, then I’m sorry, you’ll have to pay the price for your actions.”

"Given that your action was unintentional, we can settle this privately. As long as you pay 20,000 yuan and dispose of the ornament yourself, we can drop the lawsuit against you."

Upon hearing the shop owner Yu Weitao's accusations, the young woman in a stylish suit responded with an air of nonchalance.

"Are you kidding me? We don't even earn 20,000 a month. You're trying to get me to hand over my money with just a few words? I'd call you a scammer!"

"Old Yu, let's not waste our breath on her. Let her sue wherever she wants. Just get out of our shop, we still have business to do!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiufang, the proprietress standing behind Yu Weitao, could not contain her anger and pointed at the woman, issuing an order to expel her.

"Madam, I have just shown you my identification and our patent certificates."

"Even if you don't settle now, if we file a lawsuit, we'll still have to settle before the trial. At that time, our settlement fee might not be 20,000, but 40,000 or 50,000, or even full compensation!"

"Moreover, we took photos and videos as soon as we arrived. Even if you move the sculpture now, you cannot destroy the evidence."

Hearing the proprietress's words, the woman in the suit smiled dismissively.

There was a clear hint of threat in his tone.

"Twenty thousand..."

"Wife, why don't we just give it to her? Let's just consider it a mistake, like she tripped and fell while walking, and we can learn a lesson by spending money."

Upon hearing the woman's threat, Yu Weitao, the shop owner who never liked to cause trouble, tugged at his wife's sleeve and said with a helpless expression.

After all, he had indeed checked the other party's identification documents, and he had also just searched for the company online.

If this really blows up...

Yu Weitao is worried that his shop will also be unable to operate normally for several months due to the lawsuit, resulting in even greater losses.

"I also want to remind you that we are one of the partners of the upcoming movie 'Battle of Heroes', and our 'Felix the Cat' character will also appear in this animated film."

"Moreover, Wang Yueheng sang the theme song 'The Lone Warrior' for this movie."

"As locals of Jiang City, you should know more about this celebrity's net worth than I do, right?"

"If we wait until this movie is released before suing you, the compensation won't be 80,000, but 800,000, or even over a million!"

Seeing that her boss, Yu Weitao, seemed somewhat hesitant and willing to back down, the woman in the suit became even more assertive.

He raised his head slightly, giving a warning in a domineering manner.
