Hao Ren was sitting in the car as they reached the Jade market. He was getting excited about how he was going to earn a lot of profit, however, suddenly the system sounded, *Ding: Host, sensing the spirit of vengeance inside you, a new task is issued. Destroy Vanity Jade and Jewels*
The young man smiled and thought, "System, I came here to do that only."
The system replied *Ding: Host you came here to earn profit, however, that is not the reason why you were rewarded by this talent. Yin-Yang eyes help people avoid bad luck and plagues. This was why the courtiers and oracles were so valued by the rulers in the ancient time. Yin-Yang eyes is a blessing by heavens, if you use it for profit seeking actions. Let me warn you before hand, you will be losing your normal sight forget about the special powers.*
Hao Ren was scared but then he quickly asked, "System, the fact that you gave me this gift was so that I can change my destiny, right? Then why can't I use it to earn profit?"
*Ding: Host, your destiny changed when you were reborn. Otherwise do you think you would have me someone as astounding like Han Lingshi? Since your destiny has already taken a different trajectory because of Han Lingshi, all the gifts you receive are to ensure that you help changing the trajectory of her destiny too. You both gain something from each other. Don't think the system does not know why you cook for her daily.*
Hao Ren sealed his mouth and then sighed. Heath came back after parking the car in the lot and the two of them moved through the market. Hao Ren began to test his Yin-Yang eye first. The entire market was loaded with people who had fortunate and unfortunate aura about them. He could tell who would make a fortune and who would suffer.
Eventually he mastered the eye sight and after half an hour he was able to find out the true from false. Yes, Hao Ren spotted many dealers who were selling fake jade stones. This stones were created in the Knock-shops. These people specialized in creating such fake copies and the sophistication of their craft had reached a level where the people could not tell if the jade was real or fake.
Hao Ren sensed his phone vibrate, and fished it out. He did not care about Heath who was looking at him with great curiosity. After all, when he came here he did want to deal a huge blow to Vanity Jade and Jewels, yet he did not even look at the shop at the moment.
Hao Ren skimmed through the details of the data on his phone and found that Han Yuntian was more shady than he expected him to be. He smiled and said, "Brother Heath, buy a carving knife from the stall over there."
The man nodded and quickly bought a carving knife. Hao Ren said, "Come, we have to create a scene, also, be ready to take down anyone who attacks me."
Heath was surprised but then he saw Hao Ren walking in the direction of the Vanity Jade and Jewels shop. He did not know what this young man was going to do. However, he quickly followed him.
Hao Ren walked inside the shop with large strides, even though his hand was wrapped in a cast, he was still a charming young man. There were a lot of people inside the store. They were all big wigs, Hao Ren stood next to a jade figurine display and a young lady with thick make up approached him.
She carried such a strong fragrance that it could be called a stench. Hao Ren looked at her and before she could say anything, he said, "I would like to buy this figurine. You can swipe the card."
Heath had a weird expression on his face, he looked at the price tag and sucked in a cold breath. He wanted to say something but he held back. The lady was shocked and looked at the card Hao Ren was holding in her face. She said, "Sir, this piece is worth 10999999, are you sure you want to buy it?"
She raised her voice so that the other guests could see how there shop has made a big sale. Hao Ren nodded and spoke impatiently, "Can you not be so wishy washy about this? Just get on with the transaction already, I have to be somewhere."
The lady nodded like a chick pecking on grains and dashed to the billing counter. She quickly prepared a bill and then swiped the card in the POS. Hao Ren's card had been upgraded by the bank system, thanks to Xiao Mei, he did not even have to show his face.
The young man input the password and the transaction was completed. He stood for a few seconds before the lady handed him a bill and said, "Sir, I will pack this figurine for you. Also, since you have spent more than five million yuan in our store, you will be a golden VIP and also get a bottle of hundred year old Mao-tai as a gift. The wine is brewed exquisitely by the monks of moon."
Hao Ren clicked his tongue in annoyance. He was putting up the act of a spoiled young master. The lady stopped speaking and removed the figurine from the display. Hao Ren suddenly said, "Wait."
The lady was about to put the figurine inside a velvet casing, when she raised her head to look at Hao Ren. The young man said, "Give it to me, I want to admire it a bit more."
The lady handed the figure to him with both her hands. Hao Ren turned to look at Heath and said, "Carving Knife."
Heath was surprised but still fished out the knife from his pocket, and raised his guard against all the people in the store. Hao Ren said, "This store is famous for its Jade and Jewels. I have learned from my grand father, that real jade cannot be scratched by even knives. Let me see if this jade is real or not. I am so stupid I should have done this before I bought this thing."
Then among the gawking eyes of the people in the store, Hao Ren gently scratched the head of the laughing buddha. Then he blew on it before he rubbed the surface of the jade gently with his shirt. However, the scratch did not vanish. He looked at a middle-aged lady and walked up to her and politely asked, "Ma'am, can you please help me test this jade? I will not blame you for any damages. You look like a wise woman who is well versed in the ways of the world. Please."
The lady frowned at the early half of the sentence but then she smiled. Hao Ren used his sooth-saying skill. She nodded and gently scratched the surface of the laughing buddha's belly before trying to clean the mark on the belly. The next moment, she shrieked, "What the fuck!"
Hao Ren raised his brows and gave her a thumbs-up. Someone else asked, "What happened? Was it scratched?"
The lady nodded and said, "It was scratched, come and see."
The man came over and under the eyes of the stunned shop clerks and salesmen, the laughing buddha was redecorated. The exclamations were loud and the people raised a ruckus. Accusing the shop for fraud. The middle-aged lady yelled, "Silence!"
They were all big shots of the city. Even if they were not super rich, the worth of millions made them civilized people. The lady looked at the sales girl who attended Hao Ren and said, "Call your manager, right away. He needs to tell us why is there a fake jade figure in this shop."
Hao Ren sat on the side with a listless expression, Heath was standing behind him, and an uncle asked, "Young man, don't worry, you will get refund. We are all your witness, we won't allow you to be scammed."
Hao Ren shook his head at the kind man and said, "Uncle, I am not worried about the money. It can be earned back, and I am not afraid of hard work. But, this is such a big shop, we people treat jade as a treasure, how can we even think of testing it before buying? I feel sorry for the people who bought so many pieces from them. How many of them were fake and how many were real. Who knows."
The man suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "Shit."
He took out his phone and called home, he said, "Check all the jade we bought from the Vanity Jade and Jewels. Test them with a knife. Yes, I am sure, we just found them selling a figure for 10999999, it was fake."
The other people were also regulars and some even came here from referrals, they all began to call the people they knew. All of this happened within a few minutes, when the manager came over from outside, the situation was already handled. The manager asked, "Dear Customers, is there any problem?"
Hao Ren laughed, and he laughed out loud. He stood up and said, "Manager, I came here to buy a jade figure, and I paid the bill of 10999999 in one go, even before checking the goods. However, upon checking I found that the figure was a fake. Your shop has scammed me of my hard earned money and many of these customers who trusted you also faced the same thing. How will you answer to us?"
The manager's face turned pale, and Hao Ren struck the iron while it was hot. He called the police and reported the fraud. He also called Mister Leigh to file an complaint in the cultural heritage department and also the consumer court. The rest of the people did the same. Hao Ren waited till the police came in, and then he submitted the receipts of his purchase along with the Jade figure.
The rest of the people also came forward to participate as witness and even called home for people to bring in the fake jade they bought from this shop. The entire Jade street was turned upside down, the news exploded and every shop suffered the business.
Hao Ren detected the jade was fake because while the real jade gives off an harmonious aura, the jade figure he bought did not have any aura at all. Heath was watching the entire situation from the side and he was shocked.
With one move, Hao Ren turned Vanity Jade & Jewels from the pride of the industry to the bandit who would be hunted by cultural heritage department, fellow businessmen who still ran an honest business, even the fake ones will come after them for effecting them. While the customers would lash out even severely.
Heath gulped a mouthful of saliva, he was scared by the cunning of this young man. He was not simple at all.
