The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician

quickly,

A plump, middle-aged man followed the shop assistant over, glanced at Shen Zeyu, and said with a sly glint in his eyes:

"So you're a member of Young Master Shen's family. That makes things easier. You be the judge and give me a fair word, and I, Fang Zhiheng, will accept it!"

"Manager Fang, why don't you pull up the security camera footage from your store? Wouldn't that make things clear?"

Shen Zeyu said calmly, with a very professional demeanor.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The entire audience erupted in a commotion.

"Yes, technology is so advanced now, no one can renege on their debts."

"Oh yeah, how come I didn't think of that? I'm getting old, but young people are still the most quick-witted!"

"Young Master Shen comes from a wealthy family and is very knowledgeable. He can easily handle this little matter."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zixuan's lips curled up so high that a handbag could be hung on them.

Shen Zeyu is much smarter than Zhou Hao, who's so stubborn and only knows how to make her angry.

"Zeyu is smart."

Qiu Shulan's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

A son-in-law is like half a son; a single sentence can resolve conflicts and crises, making a marriage alliance with the Shen family inevitable.

Only Xia Zhongjing was skeptical, thinking that things were probably not that simple.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, the store's security cameras are broken and are being repaired, so there are no videos available."

Fang Zhiheng said meaningfully:

"You're an expert in antiques now, take a look for yourself. We're friends, we wouldn't cheat your family, would we?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The entire venue erupted in excitement, and the onlookers became as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"What a coincidence!"

"Now things are really complicated, the real show is finally starting!"

"How unlucky, the surveillance cameras are malfunctioning~ Tsk tsk."

"..."

"That's right, Zeyu has specifically studied antique appraisal."

Xia Zixuan looked at Shen Zeyu with a proud expression: "Zeyu, quickly take a look at that painting and see what's going on!"

Xia Zeyu smiled smugly, picked up the damaged painting, and examined it carefully. He even took out a high-powered magnifying glass and moved it inch by inch to examine it, appearing particularly professional.

Zhou Hao, who was in the crowd, also took the opportunity to open his Eye of Truth and scan the scene, and instantly understood everything.

ten minutes later,

Shen Zeyu turned to look at Xia Zhongjing and said:

"Uncle, the tear is indeed fresh, and this painting is an authentic work by Shi Tao, worth over ten million. They also have witnesses, which makes things quite tricky."

"Zeyu, your uncle really didn't touch it! Oh no, sob sob sob~"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shulan immediately lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.

"I have no way to defend myself, alas."

Xia Zhongjing also sighed deeply.

"Mr. Shen, you're an expert too. Say something: will you pay or not? If you agree to pay, we can settle this privately. If you don't, I'll call the police immediately and have them invite you to the station for a chat."

Manager Fang Zhiheng took out his phone, as if to make a call.

"Let's settle this privately. Although the painting has a tear, the original is generally intact and can be repaired, though its value will be slightly affected."

Seeing that the time was right, Shen Zeyu put on a thoughtful expression and replied:

"How about this, for my sake, pay three million in compensation, and we'll call it even, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The onlookers all nodded in agreement.

"This approach is reasonable."

"As expected of a young master from a wealthy family, he knows how to handle things properly."

"Consider it a lesson learned."

"It's nothing, do those wealthy families care about such a small amount of money?"

"..."

"Alright, then for Young Master Shen's sake, we'll settle this privately for three million. Rongbaozhai has really lost out this time!"

Fang Zhiheng pondered for a while, made a few more phone calls, and then nodded.

Knowing when to quit while you're ahead, this Mr. Shen is a real scoundrel, splitting the profits 50/50,000 and easily getting your hands on 1.5 million.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work. You can complete the boss's task and earn money at the same time. Why not do it?

"No~"

Xia Zhongjing was dumbfounded on the spot, and for a moment he stood there speechless.

Three million? I was just walking by for a moment, and it costs three million?

It's incredibly difficult for a small company to earn three million, especially considering they already spent three and a half million a few days ago.

This looks like it's about to close down.

"Ouch, my liver hurts."

Qiu Shulan was also suffering in silence, unable to express her bitterness, and kept whimpering with a mournful face.

Xia Zixuan greatly admired Shen Zeyu's performance, so she comforted her parents, saying:

"Zeyu is an acquaintance of the manager and is very professional. This compensation is already the minimum limit. If the police are called, not only will he have to pay the full amount, but he might even be detained for more than ten days."

"Old man, just admit it. Zeyu has to turn a big problem into a small one and avoid disaster by paying money."

Of course, Qiu Shulan had to save face for Shen Zeyu. Although it hurt her, she felt that this was indeed the best outcome, otherwise the old man would have to go to jail for a few more days.

"All right."

When Xia Zhongjing regained consciousness, he could only helplessly accept reality and comfort himself by thinking of it as being bitten by a dog.

Shen Zeyu and Fang Zhiheng exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes the image of a money counting machine counting banknotes.

"I disagree with this solution."

At this moment, Zhou Hao squeezed into the crowd and said calmly, his voice was soft but full of energy, and everyone could hear him clearly.

In an instant,

The entire room fell silent, all eyes turning to the scene with surprise and confusion, their excitement for the spectacle growing.

Who are you?

Fang Zhiheng was stunned for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes and looked Zhou Hao up and down suspiciously. After confirming that he was not an important person, he said impatiently, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Be careful what you say."

"If the road is uneven, others will smooth it. Your painting is a fake, worth at most five hundred yuan."

Zhou Hao said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

"Damn, that's incredibly outspoken!"

"Rongbaozhai has a pretty good reputation; at least I've heard of complaints about them selling counterfeit goods."

"Yeah, this is going to be interesting!"

"..."

"Zhou Hao, you troublemaker, I run into you everywhere. I, a professional, have determined this to be an authentic work by Shi Tao. What gives you, an unqualified person, the right to spout such nonsense?"

hiss~

Shen Zeyu finally snapped out of his daze and, upon seeing that it was his old love rival, flew into a rage.

Today, I must use my own strength to give this idiot a good slap in the face.

"Tch, that lousy skill is pathetic, everyone watch!"

Zhou Hao took the painting, ready to expose the shopkeeper's trick in public.

"Rat, you don't know anything about antique appraisal, so don't talk nonsense here. Since Shen Zeyu has already made a deal with them, let's do it this way."

When Xia Zixuan saw that it was Zhou Hao, a complex emotion welled up in her heart, and she immediately interrupted him with a stern face.

She didn't believe Zhou Hao could appraise treasures at all, because she knew him too well.

At this point, it is absolutely our duty to protect Shen Zeyu's reputation.

Otherwise, if I were outshone by this jerk, where would I put my face?
