Chen Yufei had already extracted the surveince footage and was eagerly anticipating good news regarding Zhang Ermao (Cade).


    After watching the video multiple times, he found himself increasingly impressed by the individual in the footage who had an exceptional ability to spot fakes. He thought to himself that this person’s performance was outstanding and that he was truly a master in his field. Every detail wasid out in a clear and logical manner; there was simply no room for criticism.<fna2bc> Original content can be found at FindN0vel</fna2bc>


    When he heard Zhang Ermao (Cade) mention that Zhou Liangyun had actually punched the bronze Buddha, Chen Yufei felt a rush of excitement.


    Everything was in ce except for the necessary external support, but now that support had arrived.


    Without hesitation, he gathered all his trusted associates and eximed, “Brothers, spread the word quickly! Zhou Liangyun has been fooled! He just spent 300,000 on a fraudulent Xuande Nian Bronze Buddha!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The group was puzzled as they listened to Chen Yufei’s excitement. They recalled hearing about a seller of fake bronze Buddhas who had been chased away after Chen Yufei identified the fraud. Now, hearing that Zhou Liangyun had purchased a fake, one person asked, “Manager, it can’t be that Zhou Liangyun bought the same bronze Buddha that tried to deceive you, right?”


    Chen Yufei nodded with a grin, “Exactly! He paid 300,000 for it! Although our antique street faces daily deception, it’s rare for anyone to be duped on such a grand scale!”


    One of the associates chuckled and replied, “The antique business has been tough the past couple of years, and everyone is looking for a bargain. People are reluctant to spend anymore. In the past, something valued at 10 million could trick someone into paying 1.8 million, but now most hope to snag something worth a lot for just 180 yuan. It’s tough for a scammer these days.”


    Then, the same associate expressed doubt: “From what I know of Zhou Liangyun, he doesn’t strike me as that foolish. Has he really been conned?”


    Chen Yufei chuckled, “Well, as the saying goes, a person who chases geese all day might be blind to the obvious. Zhou Liangyun just returned to Jinling Antique Street and probably wanted to make a quick deal, hoping for a big score. That kind of thinking makes it easier to fall for a scam.”


    One of the waitstaff smirked and asked, “Manager, is it possible you orchestrated this somehow?”


    Chen Yufei quickly replied, “Hey, hold on! I’m warning you not to spread such rumors. While I certainly want him to fail, I haven’t devised a n yet. This has nothing to do with me.”


    The young man realized his mistake and quickly apologized, “Yes, yes! I misspoke. Please don’t take it seriously!”


    The merchants of Antique Street had developed aplexwork of gossip and information sharing through various WeChat groups.


    Firstly, each shop had its own WeChat group, including everyone from managers to cleaning staff, which facilitated work coordination and information sharing.


    There were also smaller groups for managers and business personnel, as well as for managers and finance staff.


    Additionally, arge groupprised of all employees from the antique street allowed for chatting and gossip among several hundred members.


    Furthermore, the business owners had their own special group for exchanging information regrly.


    Even the employees, often referred to as “diaosi,” had their own group, which consisted of wage earners sharing their experiences.
