But the black cat seemed quite content, pacing around in circles on that tall display stand.
Everyone's attention was firmly focused on the black cat, afraid that it might touch the antique jade pendant.
Kang Jiao suddenly shoved the cat, "Get your cat away from there! Do you hear me?"
The cat glanced at the arm that had been pushed, its eyes darkening slightly.
"Meow!"
The black cat suddenly meowed, flicked its tail, and then lightly leaped back into the cat's arms!
Its jump was not the main problem; the key was that with a flick of its tail, it knocked the antique jade pendant to the ground perfectly!
The jade pendant slammed hard onto the ceramic floor with a crisp, clear sound!
"Click!"
The jade pendant was broken in two and lay on the ground, with everyone looking as if the sky had fallen.
Kang Minghui knelt down and picked up the two pieces of jade pendant, his hands trembling as he said, "This...this is a jade pendant from the Warring States period! Of all the Warring States jade artifacts I've collected, this is the only one that's been preserved so completely! And...it's just broken like this?"
Kang Jiao: "Uncle, don't be too sad, you have a heart condition..."
Kang Minghui held the two pieces of jade pendant and suddenly looked at the cat, "Jiaojiao, is this the collector you recommended? He actually brought his pet to such a solemn occasion, and to make matters worse, he let his pet run around!"
That cat is an animal, it doesn't know what's good for it, doesn't its owner know that too?
These words seemed to be blaming Kang Jiao, but when Kang Minghui looked at Maomao, it was clearly an insult!
The cat instantly looked at Kang Minghui and slowly narrowed its eyes.
Dan Xingwen frowned. He suddenly stepped forward and said, "President Kang, please speak with some respect. First, there is no ban on bringing pets here. Second, our invitation was issued by the Gulan Chamber of Commerce. As for who recommended it, that doesn't seem to matter. Third, if you can tell me how much this jade pendant is worth, I can afford to pay for it."
Kang Minghui suddenly roared, "You're so arrogant! Do you think I, Kang Minghui, am short of money? Such a rare treasure can't be bought even with money! Don't you feel any remorse for destroying it?!"
Dan Xingwen glanced at the two pieces of jade pendant without feeling any remorse. This... can be considered a rare treasure?
Just as Shan Xingwen was briefly struggling with what was so precious about this jade pendant, Maomao suddenly patted him, signaling him to move aside, and then she stepped forward herself.
The cat asked Chen Doudou, "Did you bring your wallet?"
Chen Doudou nodded and quickly took out her wallet and handed it to the cat.
Cat Bar Chen Doudou took out all the money from her wallet, counted it, and then said, "Six thousand four hundred yuan. This is my compensation to you. Take it. Actually, this piece of jade isn't worth that much. I'm giving you more as compensation for your emotional distress."
Oh dear, my kitty is indeed a bit naughty, but it has good judgment; it only throws things that are of inferior quality.
Kang Minghui immediately exclaimed, "Outrageous! You smashed my Warring States jade pendant, and not only did you not apologize, you're acting so arrogantly! Are you saying my Warring States jade pendant is a fake? Jiaojiao, call the police right now! This person is simply unreasonable! What kind of big star is he!"
Kang Jiao glanced at Maomao with a hint of helplessness, and then said, "Maomao, you've really gone too far... I can't help you anymore."
After saying that, Kang Jiao picked up her phone and called the police.
A circle of people stood around, all collectors invited by the Quran Chamber of Commerce, and they all lamented the broken jade pendant.
After Kang Jiao hung up the phone, Maomao glanced at her, sighed and shook her head, put the money back in her wallet, and tossed it to Chen Doudou, "Hey, I was originally planning to settle this privately, but you guys had to make it so complicated."
Seeing how calm Maomao was, Kang Jiao was very unhappy. She didn't believe that she would still be calm when they got to the police station! "Maomao, when we were on the show, I thought you genuinely loved collecting antiques, but I didn't expect you to be so indifferent to them! I really... misjudged you."
Kang Jiao looked utterly disappointed.
Those who didn't know the truth thought that the jade pendant was deliberately dropped by the cat!
Kang Jiao helped Kang Minghui up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Uncle, it's all my fault."
Kang Minghui seemed quite agitated, examining the two pieces of jade pendant with a magnifying glass.
Chen Doudou angrily said from behind the cat, "Boss, is this woman setting us up? This is all a trap! What do we do?"
The cat tucked her freshman-style fur around her face, the soft white down sticking to her skin. Instead, she settled comfortably on the high stool and said, "Well, since the police are here to uphold justice, then let's wait."
Chen Doudou looked at her boss with a puzzled expression. Logically speaking, if the police were here, they would be there to arrest them! Why wasn't her boss nervous at all?
However, seeing the cat like this, Chen Doudou immediately calmed down. Time told her that trusting the boss was definitely the right thing to do!
The police arrived shortly afterward.
Kang Minghui immediately said, "She deliberately damaged cultural relics. Please arrest her."
Chen Doudou said, "Isn't this a private collection? How can this be considered an antique?"
Kang Minghui replied, "This is a jade pendant from the Warring States period! I do own it, but I have an authoritative certificate of authenticity; it is a national second-class cultural relic!"
Chen Doudou silently shut up.
The policeman said, "President Kang, could you please show me your collection certificate and authentication certificate?"
Kang Minghui took it out immediately.
This incident escalated, causing chaos in the venue. Somehow, the reporters at the entrance managed to sneak in during the commotion and began filming whenever they could find an opening.
