Chapter 67: Escape
"What do you mean you didn't touch it? You didn't touch it. Did my porcelain fall?" The other party continued righteously.
"Oh! Then what are you going to do?" Gu Ning asked.
"This is green bean-glazed porcelain from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The market price is more than half a million! But since you are a young girl, I'll give you some. Fifty will be enough." said the man.
"Heh" Gu Ning sneered. This man really dares to speak!
"Okay, I can compensate you, but I can't rely on your one-sided statement that this is green bean glaze porcelain from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. So, I need to ask an expert to appraise it. If it is really worth more than 500,000, I will give you 500,000, and you don't need to give up a penny." Gu Ning said.
When the man heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and his tone softened a bit: "Why bother with so much trouble! It will cost a lot of money to hire an appraiser! I have an appraisal certificate here to prove that this porcelain is real."
As he spoke, the man took out the so-called appraisal certificate, but Gu Ning didn't buy it: "No problem, I'll pay for it."
The man paused, feeling that he had met a difficult person, but he did not seem to be afraid of her.
"Hmph! I don't have time to waste with you. I'm still waiting for money to save my life! Pay me quickly, or I'll call the police." The man threatened, and immediately took out his cell phone, as if he was going to make a call.
Gu Ning smiled with a teasing look on his face. How could he not see the other party's psychological tactics?
So, he said nonchalantly: "Okay! Go ahead and sign up!"
"You..." The man didn't expect that Gu Ning was not afraid at all, which made him a little troubled.
However, at this moment, a man nearby immediately came to stop him: "Brother, don't be too excited! We can discuss this. Look, she's just a little girl. If she really goes to the police station, she won't be able to hold her head up anymore. Why don't you give her some more time?"
It sounds like he is pleading for Gu Ning, but in fact, this person is just in the same camp as that person. He came forward to give that person a way out and also wanted to use this opportunity to warn Gu Ning.
Unfortunately, Gu Ning saw through their tricks clearly.
"What's going on? What happened?" At this moment, an old male voice was heard.
Then, a group of people walked into the crowd, led by two elderly men in their seventies.
However, one of the old men was actually Mr. Fu.
"Gu girl, why are you here? What's going on?" Mr. Fu was a little surprised to see that it was Gu Ning, and it seemed that Gu Ning was in trouble.
However, when he saw the person coming, the man who asked Gu Ning to pay compensation immediately changed his expression.
Obviously, he recognized them.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mr. Yan, Mr. Fu, this is all a misunderstanding..." Before Gu Ning could say anything, the man spoke first, and his attitude was a complete turn of 180 degrees compared to before! He was very humble.
Obviously, he was afraid of the two old men in front of him.
Yes! People who often hang out in the antique market, how can they not know Mr. Yan and Mr. Fu! These two are people of extraordinary status, not people that ordinary people like them can offend.
Especially Mr. Yan, he is an absolute expert in the antique world! If he takes one look at this porcelain, he will know it is fake.
They could never have imagined that this girl actually knew Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan.
When Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan saw the situation and the pile of porcelain on the ground, they immediately knew what was going on and their faces turned grim, especially Mr. Fu.
Although fraud is not an uncommon thing, why did the other party have to touch Gu Ning?
He treated Gu Ning as his friend and granddaughter, so naturally he would stand by her and protect her.
So, I asked in a bad tone: "Is it a misunderstanding?"
Asking this, it is obvious that you don't believe it.
The man was sweating and shaking all over. He wanted to say yes, but it was obviously an irrational answer.
Finally, the man couldn't stand the pressure from Mr. Fu and admitted his mistake: "Mr. Fu, I was wrong. I, I won't dare to do it again..."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to," Mr. Fu said angrily.
When the man heard this, he immediately apologized to Gu Ning, and his attitude was naturally very humble: "Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Okay, I'll spare you this time, but I'll have someone keep an eye on you. If I find that you don't repent, you'll have a taste of jail time." Gu Ning didn't pursue the matter, because even if he did, the worst they'd be charged with would be a few days of detention, and they'd continue to do evil again after they got out.
Therefore, Gu Ning threatened them to make them cautious and do less evil.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
When the two men heard Gu Ning's words, they responded hurriedly and in a humble manner, because their only thought was to leave first.
Then, he left as if fleeing in panic.
"There are many cases of fraud in the antique street. You must be careful next time." Mr. Fu warned, fearing that a little girl like Gu Ning would easily suffer a loss. He also believed that if they had not arrived at the right time, Gu Ning would definitely have suffered a loss.
"Got it, Grandpa Fu." Even though Gu Ning knew that she would not suffer any loss, she still responded obediently to Grandpa Fu's concern.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is the president of the Antiques Association, Mr. Yan." Mr. Fu introduced to Gu Ning.
"Hello, Mr. Yan," Gu Ning greeted politely.
"Hmm." Mr. Yan is just like his surname, very serious, especially to the younger generation.
So, when Gu Ning greeted him, he just hummed, but he didn't mean to look down on him.
"Then I won't bother you two anymore. I'll take my leave now." Gu Ning said.
After Mr. Fu nodded, Gu Ning left.
After leaving, Gu Ning still opened his jade pupils and scanned the surrounding objects.
After walking a few meters, she saw another spiritual object, which was a Duan inkstone with a strong spiritual energy.
Gu Ning went over immediately, asked the price, and bought it directly. How refreshing!
Gu Ning spent five thousand and bought a genuine product.
Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan were standing behind Gu Ning and were unwilling to do so, so they saw Gu Ning's actions and were shocked by his straightforwardness.
They didn’t know whether Gu Ning knew anything about antiques, but even if he did, he bought the item without even having it appraised. That was too casual!
"Girl, you..." Old Fu walked hurriedly towards Gu Ning, trying to stop her, but it was too late. The money and goods had already been paid. He couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Little girl, do you know about antiques?" Old Yan also followed and asked, his tone still serious.
Although Mr. Yan strongly disapproved of her behavior just now, he did not look down on her because of it. After all, it was other people's business how they wanted to buy things.
