"Tenfold compensation for a fake? Is that for real?"
Old Liu, known for his ruthless ways, had finally faced consequences today. Was the Director really going to uphold justice against his own kin? After all, Old Liu was his brother-in-law; could he truly bear to take action against him? It felt like the sun had risen from the west—what on earth was happening?
I couldn't shake the feeling that it had something to do with that young man.
The onlookers murmured among themselves, shocked by Wei's declaration. A tenfold compensation was indeed rare. If it were to be enforced, it would set a precedent for astronomical damages. The young man had just purchased three hundred thousand worth of seedlings—was he really going to demand a tenfold compensation of thirty thousand?
The thought of such a staggering amount excited many passersby, who eagerly awaited the final outcome. Meanwhile, seasoned traders in the market gaped in disbelief at Wei's righteous stance.
Did Wei really just say that? Was he actually going to deal with Old Liu? It seemed impossible! For so long, Old Liu had dominated this Tree Trading Market, and every time Wei had merely played along, never once taking action against him. Why was he willing to act now?
A few traders exchanged glances, their eyes flickering as they subtly observed Chen Xuan, nodding thoughtfully. The atmosphere around them grew tense and peculiar.
At that moment, Old Liu stared at Wei in shock, his expression screaming, "Have you lost your mind?" If he hadn't gone mad, how could he have uttered such nonsense? Tenfold compensation?
Old Liu had sold so many fakes—when had he ever faced punishment before? "Brother-in-law, can we not go through with this?"
Old Liu still hadn't grasped the situation; he blinked and tried to struggle a bit more.
Wei, however, was quick to act. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and delivered another slap!
Smack!
The slap landed hard on Old Liu's face, finally bringing him back to his senses!
Wei scolded, "You must pay up!"
As he spoke, Wei fixed a piercing gaze on Old Liu.
A realization struck Old Liu, and he felt a pang of understanding. With a sorrowful expression, he looked at Wei with a pitiful demeanor and stammered, "Brother-in-law, do I really have to pay a hundred thousand? That's almost half of my income!"
"Of course!"
Wei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chen Xuan. He then patted Old Liu earnestly and said, "Old Liu, as your brother-in-law, I have to hold you to a higher standard. Just because you're my wife's younger brother doesn't mean I can relax my management over you."
It sounded as if he had been very strict in the past.
Old Liu silently cursed in his heart but dared not utter a word in front of Wei. After all, in this situation, Wei was undoubtedly the one in control. If Old Liu dared to contradict him today, he would be packing his bags!
Grinding his teeth, Old Liu closed his eyes in pain and waved his hand. "Fine! I'll pay the money—I'll pay a hundred thousand!"
"Yes, yes!"
Old Liu's people did not dare to delay. They quickly rushed into the shop and emerged with a brand new bundle of cash, handing it over to Chen Xuan.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Chen Xuan remained silent. He quietly observed how things unfolded. In his plan, if Wei truly intended to protect Old Liu, he certainly wouldn't confront him directly. Instead, he would leave this place first and seek help from Wang Xiong.
In Chen Xuan's view, Wang Xiong's status as a wealthy figure from Jianghe was more than enough to deal with someone like the head of this small establishment.
However, Chen Xuan never expected that the situation would develop like this.
