Chapter 41: How Cruel?

  "Officer, before you arrived, the boss here locked the door and refused to let my friend go to the hospital even though she was seriously injured. This has already caused a significant delay in her treatment. I suspect this is an extortion case, a premeditated scam between the merchant and the antique city. Those worthless items are clearly only worth tens of thousands, but they were swindled into paying 180 million! Everyone here can be our witness!"

  Tao Bao didn't care about anything and threw a big hat over first.

  "That's right, we all heard it."

  "Yes, they just said so."

  "I testify too."

  At this time, those onlookers also testified one after another.

  Wu's father took another look at Tao Bao, nodded slightly and said to the police: "I also think there is something fishy going on. The cabinet isn't made of cotton, how could it fall over with just a touch? Could someone have tampered with it to extort money?"

  As soon as this was said, both Mr. Shi and the shop owner's faces turned unpleasant, and they hurriedly retorted back.

  Ten minutes later.

  After mediation by the police, Guwan City was also afraid that the incident would be too big and affect its reputation. The matter was settled without any compensation, and they even helped Chu Jing get back 3,000 yuan in medical expenses.

  Outside the antique city, Chu Jing's eyes were red with gratitude: "Thank you, if it wasn't for you..."

  "Alright, alright! Who made us friends?!" Tao Baobao looked at her right hand: "Hurry up and go to the hospital for an X-ray, in case it's a fracture."

  Wu Bin's father drove over, and it wasn't necessary for so many people to follow him to the hospital. Besides, Tao Bao still had something important to take care of, so he didn't go.

  Before leaving, Wu Bin asked Tao Baobao: "The little girl is quite good, what should I call her?"

  "Dad! Dad! She's Tao Baobao, this year's provincial exam top scorer." Wu Bin said hastily beside him.

  "Good job." Wu Bin's father gave Tao Baobao a thumbs up: "Come to our house to play when you have time."

  "I'll definitely visit you when I have time." Tao Baobao smiled and replied.

  ……

  After settling Chu Jing's affairs, Tao Baobao should also continue her journey to find Yuan Qinghua.

  According to memory, came to a porcelain shop called 'Jubaozhai'. After collecting four broken pieces, the base was not found.

  "Do you have Yuan Qinghua porcelain plate bases here?"

  "The remaining pieces are just what you saw before, and the rest is all complete. Yeah, that's what's on display in the cabinet."

  "Oh." Taobao also didn't mind and walked into the store beside a complete Yuanqing flower, "How much is this?"

  "500,000."

  "Boss, give me a fair price. This vase doesn't seem quite right to me. If I'm not mistaken, only the bottom of it is genuine," said Tao Baobao.

  "I didn't think you were so young, yet quite understanding. Alright, 700,000 then." The boss said with a bitter smile.

  "Can it be cheaper?"

  "This is the lowest price already, you should also know that the post-processing craftsmanship also costs a lot."

  Seeing the boss unwilling to give in, Tao Baobao also stopped haggling and almost emptied all her savings to buy it.

  If you want to get the maximum return from a Yuan Qinghua vase, auction is undoubtedly the first choice.

  Having made up her mind, Tao Baobao didn't say another word and looked up the phone number of the Chunshi Auction House.

  "Hello, this is Spring City Auction."

  "Hello, I have an antique item that I'd like to put up for sale in your ceramics specialty auction."

  "Oh, please wait a moment." After a brief pause, a man's voice came on the other end of the line: "Hello."

  "Uh, I'd like to ask, does your company accept Yuqinghua vase leftovers?"

  "Original Qing Hua?" The owner of the voice was clearly taken aback, "...You mean the one that's been auctioned off? How much is left of it?"
