607 Fraud
The young man was carrying a black wooden box in his arms. After he fell, she immediately took it out in a panic. When he opened it, he saw a broken ceramic product inside. Its original appearance could no longer be distinguished.
“My baby!”
The young man was very shocked at first, then he hugged the wooden box and cried loudly as if he had lost his parents!
“This is my family’s blue-and-white porcelain. How could it be broken by you? Can you be more careful when you walk?”
The young man’s sorrowful cry attracted many people. They did not know the truth and came to a conclusion.
“Why did we encounter such a thing?”
“The ancestral blue and white porcelain was broken?”
“Why are these two so careless?”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense!” Chu Yan’s anger rose. “He was the one who bumped into me. How is it my fault that he fell?”
That young man was obviously here to scam them.
Lu Benwei realized that many of the surrounding vendors were indifferent. It seemed that such things often happened.
Most of the onlookers were tourists who had come to the antique street in the south of the city. They boasted a strong sense of justice.
“You little girl, how can you do this?”
“You have to pay for breaking other people’s things!”
“You look so good, but I didn’t expect you to be so black-hearted!”
Chu Yan was instantly speechless. Looking at the passersby who claimed to uphold justice, there was nowhere to vent the anger in her heart.
At this moment, the young man suddenly frowned. “Wait a moment, it seems like I really did hit this lady?”
Everyone was stunned.
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei were also stunned.
“What is going on?” Someone asked.
The young man frowned and said, “I remember now. Because I was in a hurry for money, I wanted to pawn my family’s ancestral blue and white porcelain, but I suddenly fell ill and had a headache. Then I bumped into this lady.”
“I see.” Someone heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, someone asked curiously, “Little brother, are you in a hurry to use money?”
Hearing this, the young man let out a long sigh. “I have a malignant tumor in my brain, and my parents are seriously ill. I had no choice but to pawn my family’s ancestral blue and white porcelain.”
As he spoke, his gaze stopped on the wooden box. Inside was a broken piece of blue and white porcelain.
“It’s my fault for being careless. I can only think of another way to raise the money.”
The young man’s experience made everyone sigh.
Chu Yan also felt that he was quite pitiful.
“Don’t be fooled. He’s deliberately tricking you into sympathizing with him!” Lu Benwei suddenly said.
He spent a few days alone with the old beggar. The old beggar often told him rumors about him in the martial arts world.
One day, they talked about porcelain. The old beggar said that the techniques nowadays had advanced with the times and the porcelains produced were very exquisite.
Sometimes, people who were scammed did not even know that they were scammed. For example, the one in front of him! The young man first pretended to be hit and then attracted a lot of people to watch.
This was their first step. Then, he twisted the truth and caused the anger of those who did not know the truth. Then, he would admit it and make up some ridiculous and miserable background to gain sympathy.
At this time, most people, including the victim, would think that the victim was honest and pitiful. They could not bear to watch and took the initiative to offer compensation.
After Lu Benwei heard it, he said, “The city has a lot of tricks up its sleeve!”
As expected, Lu Benwei was not surprised.
The young man sighed deeply when he saw that Chu Yan and Lu Benwei did not show any signs of giving any form of compensation.
“Sigh, my poor three-year-old daughter. She’s about to lose her grandparents and her father at such a young age.”
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Countless onlookers were moved.
“Little brother, wait a moment.”
A middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos and a large gold chain around his neck stopped him.
“How much do you plan to sell this blue and white porcelain for?”
“One, one million gold coins!” the young man frowned slightly and said with some uncertainty.
Everyone was stunned, and then they gasped.
The middle-aged man was also stunned. “What kind of blue and white porcelain is that it’s so expensive?”
The young man gulped and said, “My family’s ancestor was a noble. Just the workmanship of this blue and white porcelain is worth that price.”
The middle-aged man frowned and hesitated for a moment. From this moment on, he began to suspect that this young man was trying to scam him.
Seeing this, the young man’s black eyes inadvertently rolled. “If you don’t believe me, you can verify it.”
After saying that, he took out some fragments from the black wooden box.
One could see the whole picture from a single glance. The glaze on the fragment was extremely natural, and there were traces of time on the inside. It was indeed ancient blue and white porcelain.
When the middle-aged man picked up the fragment at the bottom and looked at it, he was shocked. On the bottom fragment was the title and name of a noble.
A few knowledgeable tourists made a guess and said, “This is definitely authentic!”
“Although it’s not as precious as a divine material or supreme treasure, it’s worth a million.”
Then, they let out a long sigh. “It’s a pity that such a good blue and white porcelain was destroyed in an accident.”
“I can only say that my life isn’t too good.”
After saying that, he put away those fragments and prepared to leave.
“Wait!” the middle-aged man called out to him and then looked at Chu Yan and Lu Benwei.
“Little brother, little girl, it’s like this. You see, it’s not easy for others. They have an illness, and their parents don’t have much time left. Their only hope is this blue and white porcelain. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by you…”
The onlookers nodded their heads in pity.
“How about this, since he wants to pawn a million, you can pay 200,000 yuan. You won’t lose out if you buy this fragment back.”
Everyone felt that this middle-aged man’s idea was not bad.
“That’s right. After all, it was you who stood there and caused this little brother’s ancestral blue-and-white porcelain to shatter.”
“He’ll be at a disadvantage if he sells it to you for 200,000 yuan!”
“Look at your clothes. It’s not difficult to take out 200,000 yuan. It’s a life-saving gift!”
These onlookers stood on the moral high ground and asked Lu Benwei and Chu Yan to act.
The young man’s face was extremely red as he waved his hand. “Forget it, forget it. It’s my fault. I don’t blame this little girl and little brother!”
The middle-aged man had a righteous look on his face.
When Lu Benwei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up and he sneered. “What if I say no?”
