Chapter 37: Two Hundred Million in Compensation

  When everyone was discussing countermeasures, Wu Bin's father brought a friend and rushed to the scene very quickly.

  Mr. Wu was around fifty years old, and Wu Bin could be said to be his late-born son, so he was very spoiled. As soon as he heard that his son had gotten into trouble, he came without saying a word. After entering the store, he first roughly understood the situation and asked his friend, "Is this true?"

  His friend, who was about the same age as him, held a magnifying glass and had a very professional look. He squatted there for a while, examining it carefully, and then picked out a pen holder and a piece of jade pendant fragment. "Old Wu, you also know that I'm not a professional in this field, huh? Except for these two items that don't seem quite right, the others are unclear and need to be identified with instruments. I think we should invite a lawyer over."

  Behind Mr. Wu's friend, there was a boy following him. Seeing Wu Bin and the others, he walked over, "Miss Shen, Miss Wang, Young Master Yuan, Young Master Wu, you're all here!"

  "Zhao Kai, how come you're with your uncle?" Wu Bin asked curiously.

  "I happened to be in my uncle's store today. He wasn't at ease with me being alone in his store, so he brought me along." Zhao Kai said with a smile.

  It turned out that Wu's father's friend was in the jewelry business and was quite famous in the industry. However, his nephew was not very good, often taking advantage of his name to do evil things.

  Wu's father said to his friend: "You've been collecting for over a decade, can't you tell?"

  That man smiled bitterly and said, "Even if Liu Jun came, I'm afraid that without professional instruments, it would be impossible to distinguish the authenticity of these things. Antiques are not like our jade stone business, where counterfeit methods are endless, and many times, even instruments can be deceived, let alone identifying them at a glance. Experts can't do it either."

  Wu's father nodded and looked at Chu Jing: "Is your hand injury serious?"

  On the side, Tao Baobao saw that the staff of the antique city were also talking in a low voice with the owner of the store and Shi Laoshi. After a while, a staff member came over to mediate: "Before we came, our manager had instructed us not to make things big, so I think it's best if you can settle this privately before the police arrive. Just now, I consulted with Shi Laoshi, and the price of 18 million is a bit high, after all, it's not just her responsibility. If you agree, we can give 2 million in compensation, and the remaining losses will be sought from the manufacturer. What do you think?"

  Chu Jing's hand trembled, her little nose wrinkled, and tears were about to fall again.

  Twenty million! That's no small sum!

  At least it's a lifetime salary for a working-class family who work hard! Or it can only be accumulated on the premise of not eating or drinking!

  Wu Bin's father thought for a moment and said, "What if we don't agree?"

  "We'll see each other in court then." The shop owner took a few steps forward, perhaps seeing that Wu Bin's father was not an ordinary person, and his tone dropped by a few degrees: "Take all these damaged items for appraisal, let the judge decide the specific amount she should compensate. I dare say that the final trial result will only be higher than 2 million, not less than 2 million."

  Tao Bao didn't interrupt, but instead focused his gaze on those broken antique collectibles, trying hard to recall the details.

  Finally, at Wu Bin's request, Wu's father took out a checkbook from his bag and prepared to sign.

  "Chu Jing's expression was dazed as she said: 'I will slowly repay you the money.'"

  "What's with all the 'still's!" Wu Bin said with a smile: "My dad just made a fortune, it's only fitting that he spends some of it!"
