"How is this possible?!" Qiao Yihan exclaimed in disbelief.
The assessor's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "This suit was designed and hand-sewn by Giorgio Zachar, one of the world's top ten fashion designers, over a full year. It doesn't belong to any brand or haute couture collection, but its market valuation is indeed three million US dollars."
The assessors handed the compiled materials to Qiao Yihan, indicating that he should look at them himself.
Qiao Yihan quickly flipped through the documents, and the more he flipped through, the uglier his expression became.
As the heir to the Qiao family, the second wealthiest family in Ancheng, Qiao Yihan naturally knew about "King of Suits" Giorgio Zachar, and even had many suits designed by him in his wardrobe.
However, it's just a limited edition that can be bought in shopping malls for hundreds of thousands or at most a million.
As for suits that supposedly take a year to design and hand-sew, he has never even heard of them, let alone owned one.
Qiao Yihan's face turned slightly pale.
It wasn't the three million dollars that worried him; what he was really concerned about was the meaning behind that number.
Someone who can afford clothes worth three million US dollars, or someone who can hire the master designer Zachar to design clothes for him, must have a very high social status.
This man was not the "pretty boy" he thought he was at all!
But... given Qin Sheng's status, how could he possibly be associated with someone of this level?
Qiao Yihan was completely baffled.
Just then, a surprised voice came from not far away, and a man with a protruding belly ran over quickly, heading straight for Fu Jingheng.
"Young Master Fu, what are you doing here?!" The man looked at Fu Jingheng with a fawning smile, both surprised and excited.
Fu Jingheng lowered his eyes and glanced at the man with a detached expression.
The man understood immediately. He took out his business card and handed it over while introducing himself: "I am the head of the Jiang family of Tiandu. I had a small collaboration with the Fu family before. I met you once two years ago at a banquet held by the Xie family. We were far apart at the time, so you probably didn't notice me."
Actually, Jiang Zhenhong was a little guilty when he said this.
At that time, it wasn't a matter of distance at all; it was that he and Fu Jingheng were in completely different circles. He wasn't even worthy of going up to offer a toast, so there was no way Fu Jingheng would even notice him!
Little did he know, Fu Jingheng actually remembered him.
It's not that this person is particularly special, but he has strong mental strength and a good memory, so he has some impression of the people he has met.
However, he was too lazy to explain, didn't say anything, and didn't even reach out to take the business card.
Jiang Zhenhong didn't mind and continued with a fawning smile, "I didn't expect to meet you here. You see, I wasn't prepared at all. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner, and we can talk about the Fu family's latest project, and our Jiang family..."
He spoke halfway through his sentence when the man's aloof voice slowly rang out.
Fu Jingheng: "You've mistaken me for someone else. My surname is Mo, and my name is Mo Xiaobao."
Jiang Zhenhong: "..."
What the hell is this, mistaken identity?!
What the hell is Mo Xiaobao?!
He's still Jiang Dabao!
Jiang Zhenhong's face contorted for a moment before he was able to control his expression.
To be honest, Jiang Zhenhong had already imagined many reasons why Fu Jingheng would refuse him before he even opened his mouth, but he never dreamed that he could find such a divine excuse!
Did they mistake you for someone else?
With his incredibly eye-catching face, no one could mistake him for someone else!
Regardless, the other party's refusal to communicate was quite clear. Although Jiang Zhenhong coveted Fu's project, he didn't dare to truly offend Fu Jingheng, so he could only apologize with an awkward smile: "Oh? Is that so? I'm really sorry."
Finally noticing the situation, he frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are the police here?"
"Oh." Xing Ji'an finally snapped out of his shock at "Mo Xiaobao," rubbed his face, and continued working on the case.
"According to Article 275 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who intentionally damages public or private property, where the amount involved is relatively large or there are other serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or a fine; where the amount involved is huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he/she shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years."
"Mr. Qiao's case involves a staggering three million US dollars, equivalent to twenty million RMB, which constitutes a crime of enormous value and is punishable by imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than seven years according to law."
Xing Ji'an looked at Qiao Yihan and continued in a businesslike manner, "The police would like to remind you that you can communicate with the parties involved before filing a case and request a private settlement."
Qiao Yihan, one of the parties involved, looked completely bewildered until Xing Ji'an called him again, at which point he snapped out of his daze.
His face was deathly pale.
Qiao Yihan finally understood where his unease came from.
Fu Shi.
It was actually the Fu family, the head of the four great families of Tiandu...
Although Fu Jingheng denied his identity, Qiao Yihan was no fool.
Jiang Zhenhong is, after all, the head of a prominent family in Tiandu. When we were talking to him earlier, he was completely indifferent. But now, when he's with Fu Jingheng, he's like a completely different person. If he had just mistaken someone for someone else, would he still be standing here looking so nervous?
"Qin Sheng..."
Qiao Yihan subconsciously called out to Qin Sheng, but as soon as he finished speaking, he met Fu Jingheng's eyes, which seemed to be filled with cold light, and he immediately couldn't say the words he was about to say.
Finally, in a hoarse voice, he asked, "Can we talk privately now?"
Fu Jingheng looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Sheng Sheng has the final say."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Something just felt off.
However, Qin Sheng always knew how to distinguish between her own people and outsiders. She only glanced at Fu Jingheng before nodding decisively: "Okay."
“We will be compensated for our losses at market price. In addition…” Qin Sheng glanced at Fu Jingheng and pursed her lips slightly, “In addition, Brother Mo also gave a gift of one million US dollars to persuade Master Zachar to come.”
"Let's settle this privately after you pay the full price."
The little girl's voice was clear and soft, and her cry of "brother" touched people's hearts. Fu Jingheng's expression softened unconsciously.
He immediately agreed, saying, "There are still some shipping fees and such. Let's round it up and give you 30 million in compensation."
Everyone: "..."
Did your delivery guy swim across the Pacific Ocean to deliver your packages? It would cost millions just to ship a piece of clothing.
It's blatant extortion.
But what could Qiao Yihan do?
He could only grit his teeth and accept his fate.
Now he realized that even Director Xing's arrival was probably not just a passing by as he claimed; ninety-nine percent of the time, he was there for this "Young Master Fu."
If this continues, and he really gets taken to the police station, it will have a huge impact on the entire Qiao family!
Qiao Yihan handed over the signed check with a livid face.
As for the kick he received, he dared not mention it now, fearing they might fabricate some other messy charge against him.
