“Make an exception? How could we make an exception? This is our shop’s treasure. This is the identification certificate issued by the expert. I didn’t extort you.” The lady boss said as she slapped a certificate on the table.

Zhou Changqing picked it up and saw that it was indeed an appraisal report from an expert.

It was said that this vase was authentic Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain and was valued at 3.2 million yuan.

He did not know what to do.

The vase was broken by his mother, so of course he wanted to compensate the store.

But three million was not something he could afford.

Even if their family sold everything, they wouldn’t be able to gather so much money.

At this moment, Ye Feng’s image suddenly flashed in his mind.

After two days of contact, the man’s confident words and actions were praised by everyone in the exploration team.

Why was the man so confident?

Wasn’t it because he was rich? He didn’t have to worry about anything.

A mere three million yuan was simply insignificant to Mr. Ye.

But to him, this was an astronomical figure.

At this moment, he was extremely jealous of Ye Feng.

The lady boss put her hands on her hips and stared at him. “What? Can’t afford it? If you can’t afford it, then don’t touch it.”

“Hurry up and raise the money. If you don’t pay, I’ll call the police and arrest you.”

“If you want to arrest someone, then arrest me. It has nothing to do with my son?” Mother Zhou stood up and shielded her son.

Zhou Changqing hurriedly pulled her aside. “Mom, even if someone has to go to jail, I should be the one to do it. How can I let you do it?”

“Changqing, you’re still young. I’m already so old. I’m not afraid of going to jail.”

“Mom…”

Seeing the two of them going back and forth, the lady boss couldn’t hold it in any longer. She slammed the table with a bang and said, “Stop with this mother and son act. Hurry up and think of a way to raise money.”

Just as Zhou Changqing and his mother were at their wits’ end, a fat middle-aged man walked out of the shop. “Honey, let’s be forgiving. I think they’re quite pitiful. Don’t make things difficult for them.”

He said this to the lady boss, and he looked to be the owner of this antique shop.

In the crowd, Ye Feng’s lips curled up imperceptibly.

Here they come, one good cop and one bad cop. It was the same old routine.

The lady boss was furious when she heard that. She pointed at the boss’ nose and scolded, “Wang Defa, who are you to speak here?”

“What do you mean by making things difficult for them? This is a blue and white porcelain worth more than three million yuan. Are you saying that we should just forget about it?”

The shop owner let out a long sigh. “They all look pitiful. Where are they going to get more than three million? Aren’t you forcing them to their deaths?”

Mother Zhou looked at the shop owner gratefully. “Boss, you’re really a good person. You’re right. Where do you think a family like ours can get more than three million yuan? Please be kind and let us go.”

The shop owner sighed. “Don’t worry, big sis. Just compensate us as much as you can. Forget about the rest.”

“Forget it? Why should we let it go? Wang Defa, who are you to call the shots here?” The lady boss jumped out again. She was very dissatisfied with the way the boss handled it.

“Shut up. If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I won’t slap you?” The boss’ anger also rose. He pointed at the lady boss and scolded her.

The lady boss immediately sat on the ground and rolled around.

The boss didn’t bother with her. He turned around and walked to Zhou Changqing. “Don’t worry about her. Women have long hair but little knowledge.”

“Boss, you’re such a good person!”

Zhou Changqing felt both grateful and guilty toward the boss.

The boss actually had a conflict with the lady boss because of them. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

The shop owner took out a packet of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to him.

Zhou Changqing didn’t smoke, but since it was given by the shop owner, he had to give him some face, so he immediately accepted it with both hands.

The shop owner lit one for him and one for himself. Then, he asked nonchalantly, “Little brother, what do you do for a living?”

“I work on an exploration team. My name is Zhou Changqing.”

Zhou Changqing did not hide anything and immediately introduced himself.

“Exploration team? That should be very hard, right?” The antique shop owner asked curiously.

“It’s alright.” Zhou Changqing didn’t want to talk too much about his work.

However, Wang Defang seemed to be very curious about his work. He continued to ask, “Do you guys go on missions often?”

“Yes.” Zhou Changqing nodded. He felt that the boss was a little strange. Why did he keep asking about his job?

“Did you guys go on a mission in the past two days?” Wang Defa asked again.

Zhou Changqing suddenly became alert and looked at him in confusion. “Why are you asking this?”

“I used to work on an exploration team when I was young, so I feel very close to you. I can’t help but ask a few questions.” Wang Defa smiled and explained.

“By the way, what did you find on your missions these past couple of days?”

“I’m sorry. Our exploration team has a rule that all the information during the mission must be strictly confidential.” Although Zhou Changqing was grateful that the other party had spoken up for him, there were still some principles that he could not trample on.

Wang De laughed awkwardly.

At this moment, the lady boss jumped out again. She pointed at Zhou Changqing’s nose and scolded, “Oh, you have quite a temper. Can’t he even ask a few questions? Wang Defa, look at who you are helping. You helped him, but not only did he not appreciate it, he is even guarded against you.”

Mother Zhou also felt bad. She hurriedly tugged at her son’s clothes. “Changqing, the boss helped us out of kindness. He’s our family’s benefactor. Answer him honestly. Don’t hide anything.”

Zhou Changqing sighed helplessly. “Mom, our exploration team has a rule. We can’t reveal the mission details to anyone, not even you.”

“Hmph, don’t be ungrateful. Either you keep answering questions, or you lose money. Choose one.” The Lady Boss jumped out again and continued to force him.

Zhou Changqing became even more vigilant.

The shop owner and the lady boss seemed to be very curious about the content of their exploration mission. Why?

He gritted his teeth and finally mustered up the courage to look up. “I’m sorry, I really can’t tell you the details of the mission.”

“I will pay for this vase. If I can’t afford it in a year, then I’ll pay for it in ten years. If I can’t afford it in ten years, then I’ll pay for it for the rest of my life. In short, I won’t owe you a single cent.”

The surrounding crowd felt that his brain was not working well.

The shop owner wanted to exempt him from compensation and only needed him to answer a few questions.

This guy was willing to bear a huge debt and not answer.

Wasn’t there something wrong with his brain?

The shop owner and the lady boss didn’t expect Zhou Changqing to be so strong-willed. They quickly exchanged glances.

“Think carefully…” Wang Defa was about to continue.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd. “Good job. I didn’t misjudge you.”
