Chapter 93 I know the location now!
"Alright."
Liu Yu, seeing there was no way to take the middle-aged woman with him, didn't say anything else but simply led his people away.
Upon realizing she had to stay, the middle-aged woman panicked completely.
She turned and tried to run.
But the onlookers blocked her way.
With no other choice, she had no choice but to stay in the Fang Family Jewelry Store, watched by the security guards while drinking tea.
The issue was resolved.
The staff of the Fang Family Jewelry Store gradually dispersed.
Even some customers who had initially misunderstood the Fang Family Jewelry Store felt slightly guilty and decided to stay and make some purchases.
Fang Feifei approached Wang Ye and asked, "What's this about the anti-counterfeit mark? Why weren't we aware of it before?"
If there was an anti-counterfeit mark on the Fang Family's products, they should have known about it, but not only the employees of the Fang Family Jewelry Store were unaware, even Fang Feifei herself was in the dark.
"That anti-counterfeit mark,"
Wang Ye replied, "I was just recently thinking, if there are people within the Fang Family who would harm Patriarch Fang, then they might target the Fang Family Jewelry Store too. What if someone knew how to counterfeit our store's anti-counterfeit measures and framed us? What then?"
"So, over the past few days, I've been researching to see if there's any way to prevent this from happening. The best solution was to create a new anti-counterfeit mark, so I tested it on a few items. The items just now were those I was experimenting with."
"Since the items the other party had were fake, when I revealed the new anti-counterfeit mark, they were bound to feel guilty and wouldn't think much further. That's how the matter got resolved."
Wang Ye spoke matter-of-factly.
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Fang Feifei was taken aback by his foresight and strategic planning.
In other words, Wang Ye had anticipated an incident like today's well in advance and had made preparations.
"Your idea for the anti-counterfeit mark is very good. We will start using this method extensively for the products at the Fang Family Jewelry Store. I'll arrange for someone to apply for a patent on this anti-counterfeit method right away,"
"Since this is your idea and I have adopted it, I must give you a reward. According to market value, it should be ten million. I'll have it transferred to your card later along with any other outstanding payments."
Although she was still annoyed with Wang Ye, the reward he deserved still had to be given.
"Mhm."
Wang Ye nodded his head. He wouldn't take what wasn't his, but neither would he refuse what he rightfully deserved.
"By the way."
Just as Wang Ye was about to give the Dragon Stone species pendant to Fang Feifei, an employee from the Fang Family Jewelry Store came over with two cups of tea. They came to Wang Ye and Fang Feifei, set a cup of tea in front of Wang Ye, and placed another in front of Fang Feifei, and respectfully said,
"Boss Fang, Master Wang, please enjoy."
Wang Ye picked up the teacup and slightly frowned upon seeing the tea inside. He called out to the employee who was about to leave, "Stop right there!"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, the employee's face instantly showed a hint of panic, but they lowered their head, hiding their anxious expression, and asked Wang Ye, "Master... Master Wang, is there something wrong?"
Fang Feifei looked at the employee and then at Wang Ye, her beautiful brows furrowed. "What's the matter, you asked her to stop for a reason?"
"Her name is Yang Yongqing, and she's a new intern at our Fang Family Jewelry Store."
As she spoke, Fang Feifei incidentally introduced this employee to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye swirled the teacup in his hand—the tea, under the sunlight, looked no different from any ordinary tea and didn't emit any strange odor.
Across from the Fang Family Jewelry Store on the second floor, Fang Junxiang and Liu Yuntuo were watching what was happening in the lobby. Seeing Wang Ye looking at the tea in his cup, Fang Junxiang grew worried.
Did Wang Ye notice something wrong with the tea?
However, with the plan failing and Liu Yuntuo currently in a bad mood, Fang Junxiang didn't dare to ask, afraid that Liu Yuntuo might chastise him even further.
Liu Yuntuo's left hand involuntarily tightened around the teacup next to him, a sense of unease manifesting.
Wang Ye placed the teacup in front of Yang Yongqing and stared directly into his eyes, "Drink this tea."
Yang Yongqing chuckled awkwardly, "Master Wang, this tea was prepared for you, how can I drink it?"
"Drink!" Wang Ye's voice didn't rise, but it took on an even more undeniable tone, like the resounding of a great bell.
Yang Yongqing's face changed instantly. Wang Ye wouldn't trouble him without reason; this action had already made one thing clear—Wang Ye had discerned the issue with the tea.
"Master... Master Wang, I was wrong, I was instigated by someone else, I... I was wrong!"
Yang Yongqing began pleading for mercy, his complexion ashen, standing there uneasily looking at Wang Ye and Fang Feifei while his body subconsciously took a step back.
Fang Feifei also realized what was happening at this point and her face suddenly darkened as she asked Wang Ye, "Is there something wrong with the tea?"
"Yes."
Wang Ye glanced at the tea and listed all the herbs that had been used to poison it, "Colorless, odorless, and highly toxic—it was meant to kill me."
"Security!"
A flicker of anger crossed Fang Feifei's beautiful face.
Although she was angry with Wang Ye, she was actually very concerned about him in her heart.
Moreover, Wang Ye had just solved a problem for her, making her feelings toward him grow fonder.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
All the security guards in the hall gathered around, and the customers shopping in the hall also turned their attention here, clueless about what was happening.
Fang Feifei smiled and explained to the customers in the store, "I'm sorry, everyone, there will be a slight delay. An employee has encountered some issues and leaked our Fang Family Jewelry Store's commercial secrets to someone else. We need to deal with this. If anyone wishes to make a purchase, please come back another day."
With such an incident, the Fang Family Jewelry Store was no longer appropriate to remain open for the day.
Hearing Fang Feifei's words, the customers of the Fang Family Jewelry Store expressed their understanding and glared at Yang Yongqing, saying:
"She looks quite pretty, but who would have thought her mind was so filthy!"
"The Fang Family Jewelry Store is so good to you, yet you betray them and sell their commercial secrets! People like you are worse than pigs and dogs!"
While scolding, the customers began to leave. Fang Feifei's face was stern as she stared at Yang Yongqing, who was now controlled by the security guards, continuously begging for mercy from Fang Feifei and Wang Ye.
Neither Fang Feifei nor Wang Ye paid him any mind—if Wang Ye hadn't detected the poison in the tea, he might have already been poisoned to death.
"Speak, who told you to poison me!" Fang Feifei stared coldly at Yang Yongqing, her eyes emitting a fearsome intensity.
"She herself probably doesn't know, but I've already figured out where the other party might be right now."
