After expressing his thoughts, he turned away with impatience and exited the antique street, intending to seek legal advice from aw firm.


    When Zhou Liangyun noticed his departure, he returned to his shop. In truth, he hadn’t nned to leave; he had only mentioned it to avoid furtherplications with Jacob.<fnc5c1> This text is hosted at f?ndnovel</fnc5c1>


    To prevent any disturbances, he hung a “Closed” sign on the door and secured it from the inside.


    At that moment, a man suddenly approached the door and inquired through the ss, “Boss, may I show you something else?”


    Zhou Liangyun didn’t nce back initially, ready to turn him down, when it struck him that the voice belonged to Charlie Wade.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Quickly, he turned around and saw Charlie Wade standing at the entrance.


    A smile broke across his face as he hurried to open the door, greeting him warmly, “Mr. Wade, it’s been quite a while!”


    Charlie Wade recognized that Zhou Liangyun was maintaining his usual demeanor. Given his current identity, he was aware of Charlie, but since being expelled from Ji Qingtang, they had lost contact.


    So, Charlie responded with a smile, “Boss Zhou, it’s great to see you again. Looks like you’re your own boss now!”


    Zhou Liangyun humbly replied, “It’s just a small business, really not worth mentioning. What brings you to my shop today, Mr. Wade?”


    Charlie casually pulled out an amulet crafted from Trida and said, “I came across this by chance and would like to get your opinion on it, Boss Zhou.”


    Zhou Liangyun nodded, gesturing for him to enter, “Mr. Wade, pleasee inside.”


    As Charlie stepped into the store, Zhou Liangyun closed the door behind them and then asked with a smile, “Master Ye, does your father-inw know you’re here?”


    Charlie replied with a grin, “He doesn’t. I was at the teahouse across the street and came over after he left.”


    Then he inquired, “Uncle Zhou, what did my father-inw tell you during his visit?”


    Zhou Liangyun chuckled, “He first mentioned that he donated all the money and pleaded with me not to call the police. I assured him that I had no intention of doing so. He quickly contacted the charity, wanting to retrieve the money, but they informed him that he needed to go through legal channels. So, he decided to consult awyer. Before he left, he asked if I could help him counter Zhang Ermao (Cade)’sments. I didn’t agree, but I didn’tpletely shut the door on that option either.”


    Charlie shook his head with a smile, saying, “It seems like the country can change, but not the nature of a person. I thought he would genuinely realize his mistake, but it appears his only concern is his position.”


    He continued, “Uncle Zhou, please refrain from further discussions with him and don’t leave any loopholes in this matter. He must be held ountable for retrieving the donated money, but as for his reputation, it will be tarnished if it deserves to be.”
