90: Gold Selling Controversy

"Come on, big brother will take you to eat good food and drink good wine!"

Qin Shou was in a good mood. He pinched Nuo Nuo's lovely, doll-like little face, got out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, and then took Nuo Nuo's small hand and went out.

Qin Shou planned to go directly to a large comprehensive supermarket near his rented apartment. This supermarket was large enough and had a jewelry store and a famous watch counter inside. Qin Shou figured he would sell all the gold and silver jewelry he had "borrowed" from Ye Wuhuan and convert it into cash.

After all, these items were ill-gotten gains, and carrying them for a long time might attract unnecessary trouble. Qin Shou knew in his heart that when he entered the cave again yesterday, he didn't see Ye Wuhuan or the woman's body, which meant Ye Wuhuan should not be dead. Such a Son of Fortune with immense luck could never be so short-lived.

Qin Shou was not sure now whether Ye Wuhuan had clearly seen his true appearance, but he definitely couldn't keep the things from him for long. It was safer to convert them into cash.

Half an hour later, Qin Shou had already arrived at a jewelry store called Zhao's Gold Shop, the largest one nearby. A smaller jewelry store might not be able to handle a transaction of hundreds of thousands in gold at once.

"All these things of yours are just a pile of scrap metal. Only this watch is somewhat valuable. How about this, I'll take it all for 100,000 yuan."

Inside the jewelry store, a pot-bellied, shrewd-looking shop owner with triangular eyes was meticulously examining the pile of gold and silver jewelry Qin Shou handed him with a magnifying glass.

As he looked at the items Qin Shou brought, his eyes flickered with greedy light, his eager and covetous expression almost impossible to conceal.

But even so, the Fatty boss feigned an air of disdain, as if these were all worthless junk.

"Damn it! This dog-gone profiteer is too ruthless!"

Qin Shou's eyes widened, and he cursed inwardly.

This Fatty shop owner completely refreshed his worldview. He had checked the current gold prices before coming, and he had carefully weighed all the gold and silver jewelry, so he had a rough idea of their value.

As for that famous Swiss watch, Qin Shou had also checked the official website price, which was over 400,000 yuan. Most importantly, this watch was a limited edition, and it might not even be available for purchase with money now, possessing high collection value. This meant that if it were truly sold, it would definitely not be 400,000 yuan. If Qin Shou hadn't felt that the watch's origin was questionable and didn't want to invite trouble, he would never have parted with it so easily.

"One hundred thousand? Heh heh, I say, you cunning profiteer, do you take me for a fool? This watch alone is worth more than 400,000. Fine, if you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else."

Saying that, Qin Shou was about to take the gold and silver jewelry back.

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother, let's talk nicely. The price, we can discuss it slowly."

Seeing Qin Shou about to leave, the shop owner immediately wrapped his arms around the pile of gold and silver jewelry, clearly not intending to return it to Qin Shou.

"Talk about your grandma's hammer! How can you suppress the price like this?"

Qin Shou looked at the shop owner's appearance and knew immediately that he was a profiteer among profiteers. There had to be a limit to price suppression; this was no longer price suppression, this was deception. So Qin Shou was already too lazy to do business with this shop owner. Anyway, there was more than one jewelry store in this supermarket.

"Heh heh, young man, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Giving you 100,000 is giving you face, don't be ungrateful! If you anger me, Zhao Gang, not only will you not get a single penny, but you also won't get this batch of gold back."

The shop owner sneered, apparently not intending to do business with Qin Shou at all, but rather planning to directly appropriate this batch of gold.

Qin Shou's face instantly darkened, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He never expected that in broad daylight, in a society governed by law, he would encounter someone planning to openly rob him.

Qin Shou said coldly, "What? In a society governed by law, in broad daylight, you dare to openly rob me?!"

"Heh heh, it's not certain who's robbing whom!"

Zhao Gang sneered and actually turned the tables, saying, "You clearly came to my gold shop, trying to pull a fast one, wanting to take away my hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of gold without paying a single cent. You are robbing me!"

Qin Shou never expected this guy to be so shameless, his ability to turn the tables was simply masterful.

Qin Shou was seething with anger, already feeling an urge to rush up and beat up the Fatty. However, remembering the surveillance cameras, Qin Shou didn't want to get himself into trouble. After all, it was something that could be solved by calling the police, so there was no need to cause himself trouble.

"Very well, in that case, let's call the police! There are surveillance cameras in this store. Let's let the police judge and see who robbed whom in the end!" Qin Shou gritted his teeth, enunciating each word.

"Call the police? Hahahahaha!"

Zhao Gang laughed uproariously as if he had heard the biggest joke, looking up at the sky and saying, "Go ahead and report it! Do you think I, Zhao Gang, am afraid?! Kid, let me tell you, I've been in this game for so many years, do you think I've been messing around for nothing? I'm a respected figure on the streets. Do you think such a big gold shop could operate peacefully without connections up top?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gang became even more arrogant. Seeing Zhao Gang so confident, Qin Shou already had a rough guess: this guy most likely had connections in the police station.

"Heh heh, kid, why aren't you calling the police? If you don't, I'll call them for you!"

Sure enough, before Qin Shou could call the police, Zhao Gang had already impatiently dialed a number.

"Hello, Big Brother, I've run into an ignorant fellow here who wants to cause trouble. Don't you have connections in the station? Do me a favor, bring a few people over and teach him a good lesson!" Zhao Gang said in a fawning tone to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Good, good, good, Big Brother, don't worry. This is a big deal this time, you won't be without your cut!"

After speaking, Zhao Gang hung up the phone, and that sinister smile returned to his face. He looked at Qin Shou triumphantly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Kid, weren't you going to call the police? You wait, don't run! The police will be here soon!"

Zhao Gang's tone was provocative. Qin Shou's face was extremely grim. He didn't argue further, nor did he plan to call the police himself anymore.

He knew there was no point in reasoning with such scum. Since the other party had already called people, he would wait and see what tricks these people wanted to play.

Qin Shou was not afraid. He knew most of the Criminal Police Officers in the City Police Station from this mission.

He wanted to see who dared to be so arrogant and lawless here!

If it really came down to it, he could also directly call Ren Jing. He didn't believe that in this City, Zhao Gang could know anyone more influential than Ren Jing.

However, to be on the safe side, Qin Shou still decided to have a backup plan. So, Qin Shou looked at the ring of fortune on his wrist and secretly blew on it.

A silver light flashed on the ring of fortune, suddenly absorbing a wisp of black energy from Qin Shou. Immediately, this black energy was transferred to Zhao Gang through the ring of fortune.

Qin Shou watched as the originally faint silver-white glow on Zhao Gang instantly dimmed a few shades, clearly indicating that his luck had worsened.
