"What the heck, what's going on? Why has the surface of the raw stone turned colorful? Wasn't it just a moist, watery color?" the young customer asked in confusion and surprise.
Li Yang turned back and explained to everyone, "As you can all see now, the color of the stone's surface has changed. These colors are actually the chemical components being leached out, and this chemical component can only be leached out between alternating hot and cold temperatures."
"Ordinary people would never discover this trick, nor would anyone intentionally put it in a fire to roast, and then soak it in cold water. This kind of deception is truly masterful at blinding people's eyes."
"If it were a genuine raw stone from a mine, no matter how you burned it with fire or threw it into cold water, it would not react like this."
"So that's how it is. Mr. Li's appraisal skills are truly exceptional. We are extremely impressed."
"Xu Tianlong, you call yourself a Golden Heavenly Eye, yet you used such means to deceive us. We are truly disappointed in you."
"Get out of Jiangcheng immediately! You don't deserve to run a gambling stone shop in Jiangcheng."
The audience on the scene began to curse Xu Tianlong furiously.
In an instant, Xu Tianlong's reputation was ruined. Standing there with a flushed face, he was completely at a loss.
All he felt in his heart was anger and defiance!
He, a dignified Golden Heavenly Eye, had fallen into the hands of a young brat today.
A moment later, Li Yang signaled for everyone to calm down and turned to Xu Tianlong, saying, "Boss Xu, according to your shop's rules, this stone is worth over a million. I'll value it at one million. With the 'one compensates ten thousand for fakes' clause, that's one hundred million."
"Are you paying me in cash or by transfer?"
"You little brat, you deliberately set a trap for me and still want me to pay? Aren't you treating me like a fool? You're dreaming!" Xu Tianlong said, filled with rage.
"So, you're refusing to pay? Then do you mind if I report today's events in Jiangcheng to the entire province, have Chairman Xu personally expose your scam, and ruin your reputation in the entire antique industry of the province?" Li Yang asked with a cold smile.
"What? You..."
Hearing this, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Xu Tianlong's forehead.
He had heard before that this kid had good relations with Jiang Long and Xu Shenglong in the provincial capital. If they teamed up to suppress him, he would have no way out.
Kang Shuai, having understood Li Yang's intention, quickly said to him, "Uncle, a wise man knows when to yield. This kid is prepared today. We can only concede, otherwise, you won't be able to get by in the provincial capital in the future."
"As for dealing with him, why don't we discuss it with the Situ family head? The Situ family head has a deep enmity with him and will surely have a way to subdue him."
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Xu Tianlong, who had tried to swindle others but ended up being swindled himself, now had no choice but to accept his fate.
He looked at Li Yang coldly and said, "Kid, you're lucky today. I'll pay you. Give me your account number, and I'll transfer it to you now."
"Good!"
Seeing him agree so readily, Li Yang did not hesitate to give him his account number.
As expected, he instructed his finance department, and soon the money was transferred to Li Yang.
Upon receiving the money, Li Yang said with a joyful expression, "It seems you old geezers keep your promises. However, you've transferred the money, but you sold fake goods. Now, everyone in Jiangcheng prohibits you from continuing to open your shop."
"Are you going to announce the closure of your shop yourself and withdraw from the Jiangcheng market, or should we smash your shop?"
"There's no need for them to act. I announce that from today onwards, I, Xu Tianlong, will not open any shops in Jiangcheng, and this establishment is hereby closed." Xu Tianlong announced with cold, stern eyes.
"Very good. With Boss Xu's words, I am relieved."
Li Yang nodded calmly, then looked back at the crowd and said, "Everyone has heard it. Since Boss Xu knows his mistake, we shouldn't push him further. From now on, please help me supervise him. If he dares to open a shop again, smash it without hesitation."
"Alright, for Mr. Li's sake, we'll spare Mr. Xu today."
"Mr. Li, we will definitely help you supervise him properly and not let Mr. Xu continue to harm us in Jiangcheng."
The audience unanimously supported Li Yang's actions, and their respect for him was boundless.
After appeasing the crowd, Li Yang's gaze swept back to Xu Tianlong, and he said with a smile, "Xu Tianlong, I came to see you today for another matter. You know very well how you dealt with Boss Shui."
"I give you one hour to restore all restrictions on Boss Shui's side, including normal bank loans. If you can't resolve it, this table will be your fate!"
With a bang!
Li Yang punched the table, smashing it to pieces, startling both of them.
When they recovered, Li Yang had already distributed the money to those present and left.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Kang Shuai's face was filled with anger, and he clenched his fists, saying, "Uncle, this kid is going too far. Let's go find the Situ family head immediately and have him deal with this kid."
"Alright. No one in the provincial capital has dared to be this arrogant with me. Since Situ Jue can deal with him, this matter will be handed over to Situ Jue."
As a Golden Heavenly Eye, Xu Tianlong absolutely would not allow a young brat to bully him.
After saying this, he immediately set off to find Situ Jue.
Kang Shuai followed closely behind!
On Li Yang's side, he walked along the road with a light heart, looking at the deposit notification from his mobile banking app, feeling delighted. He had earned another hundred million for nothing. It seemed making money wasn't difficult at all.
"Sir, please take pity on me. I haven't eaten for three days."
Just as Li Yang was walking, he suddenly heard a begging voice from an alley.
He looked over and saw an old man with white hair holding an old bowl, shaking it and begging from a middle-aged man in a suit.
However, the middle-aged man clearly looked disgusted. He turned back and pushed the beggar, saying, "You old geezer, what does it have to do with me if you haven't eaten? Get lost!"
"Sir, please be merciful. If you give me some money, I will surely repay you." The beggar followed again, but this time, the middle-aged man was even more ruthless and kicked him to the ground.
The middle-aged man pointed at the beggar lying on the ground and said, "If you dare to bother me again, I'll kill you."
After speaking, the middle-aged man left without looking back.
The beggar was left alone and forlorn on the ground, covered in dirt, but he didn't care. He clutched his starving stomach, struggled to get up from the ground, sighed helplessly, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly ran over, patted the beggar's shoulder, and said, "Uncle, I have some change here. Why don't you take it and buy something to eat?"
