Chapter 7622
My Fist Has No Eyes
"A fraud case involving 50 million yuan is an exceptionally large sum, enough to warrant a sentence of more than ten years in prison."
When the police arrive, they'll have the forensic department of the criminal investigation team examine the bottle to determine whether it's real or fake.
Xiao Chen paused, his gaze sweeping coldly over Boss Fang, and said, word by word:
"If this bottle is real, my friend will sell everything he owns to compensate you with 50 million."
But if it's fake...
That's fraud. Fifty million is considered an exceptionally large sum. According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law, fraud involving an exceptionally large amount of public or private property or other exceptionally serious circumstances constitutes such a crime.
Those who violate this law shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have their property confiscated.
"Mr. Fang, do you think you can handle this?"
Boss Fang's face completely changed. Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his legs went slightly weak. His previous toughness and arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by deep fear...
He didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so tough, not only unafraid of being extorted, but also daring to directly suggest calling the police.
He originally thought that as long as he took a tough stance and produced the appraisal certificate and auction records, Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan would admit defeat and obediently pay compensation. After all, it is only right to pay compensation for broken things, and most people do not want to make a big fuss.
But to his utter surprise, Xiao Chen didn't buy it at all and even brought up the police and the law, which completely panicked him.
"Mr. Xiao, let's talk this out, let's talk this out..."
Boss Fang's tone softened instantly, a stiff smile appearing on his face, all traces of his previous arrogance gone. "Calling the police is too much trouble. Can't we settle this privately?"
"There's no way to resolve this privately."
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen dialed 110 and said calmly, "Hello, is this the police? I've encountered a fraud case here, involving 50 million yuan. Please come and take a look. It's at Yajixuan on the antique street in the provincial capital."
After reporting the incident to the police, Xiao Chen called Jiang Youwei again. Although Jiang Youwei's actions towards Jiang Lanting were somewhat disgusting, he was still quite influential in the antique appraisal circle, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person in the provincial capital.
"Expert Jiang, this is Xiao Chen. Yes, the one who gave Zhang Ziren the blue and white brush washer. I need your help with something. Come over and appraise a piece of porcelain for me. I'll give you 10,000 yuan for the appraisal fee!"
Jiang Youwei knew that Xiao Chen was a rich man and had already planned to curry favor with him. When he heard that he would be offered 10,000 yuan for the appraisal, he knew he had to go.
Although it sounds glamorous, he doesn't actually make much money from appraisals.
This trip costs 10,000 yuan. If I can curry favor with this person, there might be more opportunities to make money in the future, so of course I have to go.
"No problem, I'll be there in no time, twenty minutes at most!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Youwei drove straight to Yajixuan.
At this moment, Boss Fang's face turned very ugly. Of course, he knew who Jiang Youwei was.
That's the top and most authoritative antique appraisal expert in the provincial capital.
They even appear on television frequently.
He never expected that Xiao Chen would have a connection with Jiang Youwei; this was troublesome.
He could refuse to acknowledge someone else's appraisal, but Jiang Youwei's appraisal is recognized even in the provincial capital and can be used as evidence.
This is really troublesome.
Because he knew very well that the porcelain vase was indeed a fake.
I originally wanted to scam a sucker, but I ended up kicking a hornet's nest.
Once the test results for Jiang Youwei come out, he's finished.
Not only will they not be able to extort a single penny, but even more terrifyingly, they might end up in jail for fraud.
All his efforts over the past few decades have been in vain.
Thinking of this, Boss Fang's face grew even paler. He glanced at Xiao Chen, then at Yun Yuyan, his eyes suddenly turning ruthless. If he dealt with these two, then no matter who came, it would be useless.
"You surnamed Xiao, you probably don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes. Since you're trying to drive me to a dead end, today I'll show you the consequences of offending me!"
His voice was extremely sinister, as if he were about to kill Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan at the slightest provocation.
"Oh ho, are you planning to kill me?"
Xiao Chen smiled. When others tried to reason with him, he would reason with them in return.
But if someone wants to fight him, then he can only resort to terrifying martial power that surpasses all worldly conventions.
Boss Fang sneered: "I'm giving you one last chance. Lose your money and get out of here, or I'll turn you into pottery today!"
Yun Yuyan was startled and quickly hid behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, however, remained calm and composed: "Come on, show me your trump card, let me see!"
"You're really fearless, aren't you? Come on up, everyone. Someone's trying to mess with your boss, what are you going to do?"
With a shout from Boss Fang.
Four or five burly young men came running up from downstairs.
These people are obviously not ordinary people. They are all martial arts practitioners who have cultivated true qi. Although they have not yet become Dragon Vein martial artists, they can definitely bully ordinary people without any problem.
These are the thugs hired by Boss Fang.
They're there specifically to solve his problems.
One of the men, a one-eyed man in his thirties, spoke up: "Boss Fang, who are you going to take care of? How are you going to do it?"
Boss Fang pointed at Xiao Chen and said coldly, "This kid doesn't know his place and dares to call the police. He wants to ruin his boss. I'll kill him!"
"As for that woman... I heard she used to be a rich young lady. If you like her, take her back with you, just remember not to reveal it."
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man's gaze towards Yun Yuyan turned lewd.
"Hehe, little beauty, after I've dealt with this pretty boy, I'll pamper you!"
He chuckled and looked at Xiao Chen, "Kid, I don't know who gave you the guts, but you're in for a world of trouble today. You shouldn't have ruined our livelihood, and you definitely shouldn't have called the police!"
Yun Yuyan's face was extremely pale. She felt as if Xiao Chen had been implicated because of her, and she couldn't help but cry.
Xiao Chen gently patted Yun Yuyan's shoulder: "Hey sister, I'm not dead yet, don't cry. These few cats and dogs aren't even enough to fill my teeth."
Yun Yuyan suddenly remembered that besides being rich, Xiao Chen was also a true master.
Dealing with these thugs shouldn't be a problem, right?
Only after thinking about this did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Chen approached the one-eyed man, his expression instantly turning icy: "Kneel down!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing aura that commanded respect.
The one-eyed man's legs went weak involuntarily, and he knelt on the ground. When he came to his senses, he found that his whole body was limp, as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.
Boss Fang was also dumbfounded.
He knew perfectly well how strong this one-eyed man was, but he never expected that he would kneel down in front of Xiao Chen before even making a move. He hadn't seen Xiao Chen to be that powerful.
This is absolutely unbelievable! (End of Chapter)
