Chapter 24: Killing the Fat Sheep
As the man spoke, four or five people slowly walked out from the alley next to them. They looked like they were there to watch the fun, but they actually surrounded the two men.
As those people pointed and talked, the flowers that fell to the ground had already been trampled into pieces in the scuffle between the two sides, and no one could tell what kind they were.
Chi Wan frowned as he looked at the spoiled man, feeling that he looked familiar.
She squinted her eyes and remembered who this was: "You are from the same family as the person who rented the warehouse to me before!"
Although the person she was trading with at that time was a woman, the man was also there when the warehouse was emptied, and she seemed to have heard the woman call him husband.
"What do you care who I am? Anyway, you stepped on my orchid and broke it, so you have to pay for it!"
The man said confidently, "Let me tell you, this ghost orchid is very valuable! I spent hundreds of thousands to buy it, and it took me a lot of effort to keep it alive. You just hit it and destroyed it."
The people around them blocked the two people's way and added fuel to the fire: "It's so valuable, they must pay for it, otherwise we can sue them in court!"
"Hey, I don't think this girl did it on purpose... Sister, just pay some money. It won't be good for you if this matter gets out of hand."
"I've actually heard of this flower before. It's expensive. Some years ago, someone made millions just by selling one. It's a bargain for her that she only loses a few hundred thousand."
…
Amid all the gossip, the man also looked compassionate: "Forget it, you're not that old, and it wasn't intentional. It's just my bad luck, so just pay me 200,000."
I have never seen such a hardcore scammer and a tout. If the situation wasn't a little strange, Chi Wan would have been amused by the lion's loud tone.
But she also understood that what happened today was probably because she had been targeted for a long time.
Chi Wan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: he was indeed too young and not cautious enough.
When she first came to this market, she was still immersed in the joy of getting rich, and was only thinking about stocking up on goods for Li Xingye. If she hadn't been afraid of exposing the space, she might not have realized the need to rent a small warehouse.
But now thinking back, a young girl of eighteen or nineteen not only rented a small warehouse to stock up on goods by herself, but also made large purchases without even an older person by her side.
Although Chi Yuanshan accompanied her the second time, it had only been a few days since the last time they stockpiled goods?
Not to mention that she frequently went in and out of pawn shops during this period, and even the clothes she was wearing were bought before she went bankrupt.
To Chi Wan, pawning tens of thousands of yuan each time did not seem to be a large amount.
But after all, the time was short and the number of times was high. In the eyes of those who were interested, she might have become a big fat sheep and had already attracted the attention of these people.
But she felt a little puzzled. Aren’t these people afraid that she might have some background and take revenge on them?
After figuring this out, Chi Wan didn't look too panicked. Instead, he walked out from behind Zhou Huaijin, carefully looked at the pot of scattered flowers on the ground, took a picture with his mobile phone, and asked the short and fat man seriously, "Uncle, did you say this is the ghost orchid you bought?"
The man looked up and said, "Yeah! What? Don't think you can deny it just because you stepped on it! Let me tell you, everyone saw this flower when I bought it, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, we've all seen it."
Hearing everyone say this, Chi Wan smiled and nodded: "That's good. Senior brother, call the police."
Zhou Huaijin probably guessed how Chi Wan wanted to solve the problem. His originally tense expression relaxed. He nodded, took out his cell phone, and pretended to call the police.
Chi Wan ignored the man's sudden change of expression and kindly explained: "Uncle, you are wrong. The Ghost Orchid is worth more than a few million. The expensive ones can be bought for tens of millions."
Amid the uproar around him, Chi Wan continued, "It's a pity that illegal picking and trading of this thing is not allowed. Since you said that someone sold it to you, either it's not a ghost orchid and he lied to you. Or, it's a ghost orchid and you're breaking the law.
"No matter what, the police should be able to help you."
In the dead silence, the man suddenly pointed at Zhou Huaijin and said with a ferocious look: "Stop him, don't let him call the police!"
Immediately, two men reached out to Zhou Huaijin.
Without seeing clearly what Zhou Huaijin did, the two men were thrown aside.
He said coldly: "Think carefully before you act. My name is Zhou Huaijin, and Zhou Huaian, the boss of Wanning Pawn Shop in front, is my brother. If you don't want to stay in this area, come on."
As soon as these words were spoken, hesitation appeared on everyone's face, and they looked at the short and fat man who was leading the group with hidden eyes.
Chi Wan was somewhat surprised at the deterrent power Zhou Huaian had on these people.
She secretly looked at Zhou Huaijin, who looked gentle and polite, and began to wonder if his family was the leader of some evil force...
Seeing Chi Wan suddenly become wary of him, Zhou Huaijin guessed that she must have misunderstood something, and whispered helplessly: "What are you thinking? The entire land of the trade market belongs to Zhou Huaian, he is the biggest boss here."
Chi Wan: ...
I'm going to fight you rich people.
Although this answer was somewhat unexpected to her, it somehow made her feel very reasonable.
No wonder Zhou Huaian has that "come if you want" attitude when doing business. After all this time, he really doesn't care whether there are customers or not, so he never bargains for Chi Wan when she pawns her jewelry.
The man's expression kept changing, as if he was trying to find some signs of guilt on Zhou Huaijin's face.
But Zhou Huaijin said frankly, "If you don't believe me, just go and ask." He even brought up Zhou Huaian's green bubble interface on his phone and said, "How about you call him and ask? Before you make any big mistakes, if you leave now, I won't pursue the matter. But if I call my brother, the consequences will be unpredictable."
The man finally gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Look, this is all my fault. I was careless when I walked and bumped into this little girl. I apologize to you, please don't mind."
After saying that, he winked at the people around him and wanted to leave in shame.
But Chi Wan stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."
The man turned his head, thinking that Chi Wan wanted to use Zhou Huaian's name to settle this matter, and his face looked a little unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Chi Wan just asked him: "I'm a little curious. Maybe the way I dress and behave make you think I'm a fat sheep. I can understand this. But you use this method to touch the porcelain, don't you worry that our family has a background and will cause trouble to you?"
When Zhou Huaijin heard this, he looked at Chi Wan in surprise.
Chi Wan just thought of this.
Since she dressed like someone who was either rich or noble, why did these people think she was easy to bully?
Unless someone said something to them.
