59: We were just curious to see what counterfeit money looked like.

"Ah? Counterfeit money?"

"How can it be counterfeit money? I withdrew this from the bank."

The elderly Old Woman, speaking with a not-so-standard Guangxi Mandarin accent, looked disbelievingly at the hundred-yuan bill in the Vendor's hand.

The Vendor, on the other hand, held the bill tightly with one hand and clutched the Old Woman's clothes with the other, refusing to let go, seemingly ready to yell loudly.

It was a busy commercial street with a lot of foot traffic, and if he really yelled a few times, it would immediately attract a crowd of onlookers.

The Old Woman clearly didn't want to be entangled, explaining anxiously while trying to pry his hand open.

"I didn't use counterfeit money, don't talk nonsense!"

The Vendor was clearly prepared.

He suddenly showed a cold smile, "Since that's the case, then you can come with me to find the Police Officer. We'll let them see if this is counterfeit money!"

Seeing this, the Old Woman finally panicked.

Although she was truly wronged.

This money was clearly withdrawn from the bank not long ago, how could it be counterfeit?

But being in a foreign place and at her age, she thought it best not to casually stir up trouble.

Helplessly, the Old Woman gave in.

"No need, no need, no need to find anyone else."

"I'll just give you the money again, and you can weigh me two more jin."

The Vendor immediately let go upon hearing this, his face beaming with smiles.

"You should have said so earlier, Auntie. I'll weigh it for you right away."

A moment later, the Vendor lifted the scale pan in his hand and said,

"One jin is 40. Here are two jin and eight liang, a full weight, please look closely."

"Auntie, our small business values honesty. We'll charge you a total of 112 yuan, not a single cent more."

"Ah?"

"112? This, this is too expensive."

"And I can't eat this much by myself. How about you pick some out for me?"

The Old Woman's face changed when she heard this.

At this moment, how could she not know that she had encountered a Vendor who was ripping off tourists in a scenic area? Being entangled with such a person, it was impossible for her not to lose some money today.

How could the Vendor easily spit out the fat meat that was already in his mouth? His face darkened, and he said coldly,

"Auntie, this is where you are wrong."

"Look, you clearly said just now to pack two jin of fruit. I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I kindly packed two jin and eight liang for you. Why are you still unhappy?"

"Auntie, if you really don't want to buy it, then forget it. I'll just hand this counterfeit money over to the Police Officer."

"At that time..."

"Okay, I'll buy it! Can't I just buy it?"

The Old Woman finally couldn't withstand the Vendor's repeated threats and gritted her teeth, preparing to pull money from her pocket.

This scene was also captured by Su Yu through his live broadcast camera.

The fans in the live broadcast room saw through the Vendor's trick with just one glance.

"My goodness, this is too much of a scam! You can tell at a glance that these fruits definitely aren't tasty, and this boss actually dares to force a sale?!"

"Exactly, bullying out-of-town tourists? Do you really think we're pushovers?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Auntie probably fell for it. She said her money was just withdrawn from the bank, how could it be fake? It's clear that this boss swapped it! That counterfeit bill is definitely the boss's own."

"Right, right, I've seen similar methods online before. They deliberately use counterfeit money to coerce and entice others to buy their things. If you're not prepared, even young people will fall for it."

"These scammers are too evil now, they can even do such immoral things! Streamer, we can't just stand by and do nothing!"

"That's right, using counterfeit money is subject to severe penalties! Moreover, this guy not only uses counterfeit money to defraud people but also threatens customers. He deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

In the live broadcast room, the fans couldn't stand it anymore and all requested Su Yu to help.

And as a Streamer who listens to advice, how could he refuse to do something that punishes evil and promotes good, acting as an urban justice messenger?

Anyway, the purpose of his broadcast today was also to listen more to the fans' suggestions, see if there was a chance to activate system tasks, and collect the rewards he had previously received.

Su Yu took a step forward, stood beside the Vendor and the Old Woman, and grabbed the Vendor's hand.

"Wait, Uncle, you said this money in your hand is counterfeit?"

"But, how do you determine it's counterfeit? Without proof, you can't just make baseless accusations."

The Vendor impatiently glanced at Su Yu, then waved his hand, trying to shoo him away.

"Where are you from? Do you want to buy fruit? If not, go away, don't delay my business!"

Su Yu didn't leave; he just took out his live broadcast camera and pointed it at the Vendor.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm an outdoor Streamer walking the streets, currently broadcasting and documenting beautiful life."

"Uncle, do you know what a Streamer is?"

"This is my live broadcast room. Right now, tens of thousands of people are watching us."

The middle-aged Vendor suddenly felt a little panicked when he heard this, but he still raised his head, putting on a brave face. "Streamer? So what if you're a Streamer?"

"You're not city management. What does my small business here have to do with you?"

Su Yu seized the key point and attacked continuously.

"Boss, I just heard you talking about counterfeit money. I'm very curious how you can tell that this 100-yuan bill in your hand is counterfeit?"

Seeing Su Yu stubbornly continue to ask questions, the Vendor boss had no choice but to explain with a stiff neck.

"Look, in the bottom right corner of this 100-yuan bill, the color of that small number '100' doesn't change! If it were real money, the color would definitely change! So no matter how you look at it, this is definitely a counterfeit bill."

As the Vendor boss spoke, he took out the 100-yuan bill in his hand and showed it to Su Yu.

Sure enough.

Viewing it from various angles, although the counterfeit bill was extremely similar to real money in color and appearance, no matter how it was displayed, the small number '100' in the bottom left corner never changed color.

It really was a counterfeit bill!

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and nodded silently.

"Boss, can I see this counterfeit bill?"

The Vendor boss hesitated.

This counterfeit bill was actually something he had deliberately acquired from someone before, with the purpose of secretly swapping it when others paid, then turning the tables and swindling customers out of more money.

This trick had never failed him!

However, he had never actually used or given this counterfeit bill to anyone else.

Su Yu seemed to see through the Vendor's inner worries and said,

"Uncle, look, there are tens of thousands of viewers in my live broadcast room! If I really wanted to do anything sneaky, they would definitely see it immediately."

"We are just purely curious and want to see what counterfeit money looks like."
