NOVEL NEXT Chapter 92 Preparing Second-Hand
Three minutes later.
Wang Ye took the pendant out of the basin and said to Liu Yu, "Team leader, you can have a look. Our store's pendant, after being placed in the basin for three minutes and held in the direction of light, will project the character 'Fang' onto the wall when illuminated."
As he spoke, Wang Ye positioned the pendant in the light.
When the sunlight shone on the pendant and passed through it, casting an image on the wall, indeed a regular script "Fang" character appeared.
"It's there, it really is!"
"There's indeed a 'Fang' character."
"How did they achieve this? It's too magical."
The onlookers, upon seeing the "Fang" character appear on the wall, exclaimed in surprise, as they had never seen such a method for verifying authenticity before.
Even Su Wanqing, as well as the employees of the Fang Family Jewelry Store, looked at each other in astonishment when they saw this scene, somewhat dazed.
How could they not know about this way of determining authenticity?
The middle-aged woman, upon witnessing this scene, started to feel a bit guilty. The method Wang Ye showcased was so rare that even she could not be certain whether the bracelet she brought would exhibit this effect.
"Let's test the pendant she brought."
Wang Ye placed the middle-aged woman's bracelet into the basin, and everyone started to wait.
Next, it was time to reveal the answer.
Across from the Fang Family Jewelry Store, on the second floor, Fang Junxiang turned to Liu Yuntuo and tentatively asked, "Master Liu, did you create this anti-counterfeiting mark?"
Fang Junxiang asked with great caution, fearing that bringing up the question would make Liu Yuntuo feel distrusted, potentially leading to a reprimand.
"What do you think?"
Liu Yuntuo glared fiercely at Fang Junxiang, "Was there such an anti-counterfeiting method in the information you gave me?"
Fang Junxiang, as a young master of the Fang Family, knew very well about the anti-counterfeiting and other aspects of the Fang Family Jewelry Store; it was he who had provided all that information.
Upon hearing Liu Yuntuo's words, Fang Junxiang's expression changed in an instant.
He was certain he hadn't provided this anti-counterfeiting clue to Liu Yuntuo.
After all, even he didn't know that there was such an anti-counterfeiting mark in the Fang Family Jewelry Store.
"So, we failed?"
On learning that the plan was doomed to fail, Fang Junxiang's eyes grew somewhat lifeless.
"From what it seems, yes."
Liu Yuntuo nodded, looking at Fang Junxiang with a hint of disdain.
In his usual dealings, he had never failed this many times. Since working with Fang Junxiang, however, he had encountered repeated failures.
Moreover, in his view, what he had done this time was close to perfect; if it weren't for Fang Junxiang, the unreliable partner, providing incomplete information, this plan would undoubtedly have been a complete success.
"Hmph! Worthless!"
Liu Yuntuo cursed, and Fang Junxiang felt very wronged.
He truly didn't know about this method of anti-counterfeiting that the Fang Family Jewelry Store originally had.
For a moment, Fang Junxiang thought of Fang Feifei, Fang Cunshan, and Steward Liu.
So, all along, he had been deceived by these people.
From the beginning, in their eyes, he had been the one to watch out for, nothing more than a jumping clown.
Otherwise, how could he be unaware of this anti-counterfeiting mark?
"However... "
Liu Yuntuo's tone shifted, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "I made a second plan, so our endeavor this time cannot be considered an utter failure."
"Oh?"
Fang Junxiang looked at Liu Yuntuo.
A second plan?
"What kind of secondary preparation could possibly lead to Wang Ye's death?"
Fang Junxiang's eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he was convinced that Fang Cunshan, Fang Feifei, and the others had been targeting him from the very beginning. Hate burgeoned in his heart; he couldn't wait for Fang Cunshan, Fang Feifei, and Wang Ye to die.
"It's definitely not feasible for Fang Feifei and the others; it's not suitable to lay hands on them directly."
Liu Yuntuo gently placed the teacup on the table, his voice calm but bone-chillingly cold:
"However, I'm afraid Wang Ye might end up dead."
"Then that's settled."
Fang Junxiang looked towards the Fang Family Jewelry Store hall, his mouth curving into a frosty smirk.
Everything had changed after Wang Ye appeared.
If Wang Ye could be dealt with,
then what followed would be much easier.
Three minutes later.
Wang Ye removed the bracelet from the basin and placed it under the sunlight, allowing the rays to pass through the bracelet and project onto the wall.
All eyes present were fixed on the wall.
"There's nothing, no characters."
"Nothing at all, just ordinary light."
"So, this bracelet is actually fake—it's not from the Fang Family Jewelry Store."
The onlookers around them were in an uproar.
Anger loomed in their eyes as they looked at the middle-aged woman.
From the beginning, they had all been advocating for the middle-aged woman, not expecting that the item in her possession would turn out to be a fake, and they had been merely played for fools.
"Liar, liar! This swindler actually took advantage of us!"
"I thought this woman had something of value, but it turns out she was just using us."
"Shameless woman, I strongly demand the inspection organization to arrest her—this is malicious troublemaking!"
Insults filled the air, and the middle-aged woman's expression grew uglier by the second.
She had been full of confidence, even when Wang Ye placed the bracelet under the sunlight, she felt there would be no mistake.
But,
the absence of the "Fang" character on the wall, and the continuous stream of curses ringing in her ears, made the middle-aged woman realize:
There was trouble!
She had been exposed!
The middle-aged woman became frantic, but she still attempted to maintain a façade of composure and said to Wang Ye, "Who knows if this isn't some other trick you've used..."
Before the middle-aged woman could finish, Liu Yu approached her and said, "Madam, please come with us."
Although Liu Yu indeed acted under Liu Yuntuo's orders,
now that the plan had failed, if he continued to stay at the Fang Family Jewelry Store, he would be gravely offending the Fang Family.
And with the failure of the plan, Liu Yuntuo certainly wouldn't stick up for him anymore.
Taking the middle-aged woman away was the best option.
"No need."
Fang Feifei's cool voice rang out. Different from the way she acted around Wang Ye, in such settings, every move she made carried the air of a domineering CEO.
"Just hand her over to us, we'll take legal procedures from here."
The appearance of Liu Yu and his group was too coincidental, so Fang Feifei didn't fully trust Liu Yu. To ensure that the middle-aged woman received the punishment she deserved, Fang Feifei thought it necessary to keep her there.
And possibly, to see if she could learn something from her.
This incident couldn't possibly be the idea of the mastermind behind the scenes; there must be another person responsible.
