Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Professional Cheerleading Squad
With a smile, Ye Qiu lifted the jade figurine and handed it to Liu Ruyan.
"Miss Liu, the figurine is repaired. I hope you take good care of it. If there are any problems next time, don't hesitate to contact me."
Liu Ruyan was about to reach out to receive it, but the jade figurine broke again.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan reacted quickly and caught it in mid-air.
Otherwise, if it had fallen again, not even a god could have saved it.
Seeing this, the people who had been praising him nonstop,
once again played their role as a "cheerleading group" and changed their attitude, as if it were a play with rapid scene changes.
"What's going on? After seeing him pretend for so long, I thought he had really fixed it."
"And now what? I can pretend well too."
"Is this all he knows how to do?"
At this moment, Ye Qiu no longer cared about getting angry at those people.
Looking at the broken jade figurine in his hands, his face showed the same expression as someone who had just drunk a glass of liquid excrement.
What's going on?
He was supposed to have fixed it already.
The restorative liquid he used was prepared by his own hands.
This restorative liquid was much more effective than the recipe inherited from Gu Yunqing, there shouldn't have been any problems.
"Mr. Ye, it seems I overestimated you a bit."
Liu Ruyan, taking the broken figurine from Ye Qiu's hands and putting it in the box, showed a painful expression while, in her heart, she was full of anger.
At this point, she really didn't know how to fix the jade figurine.
But at least now she knew who the culprit was.
After hearing this from Liu Ruyan, Ye Qiu's face turned even darker.
He had come today intending to win her sympathy, but he didn't expect everything to go wrong.
"I may have made a mistake earlier, let me try again."
Ye Qiu said reluctantly. This was a great opportunity to win sympathy and court her!
With his skills, he didn't always get the chance to create something like this.
[Trying again, it's useless even if you try ten thousand times.]
[So what if you fix it?]
[Wasn't it your fault that it broke in the first place?]
[If you hadn't deliberately attacked the employee, nothing would have happened today.]
From the side, Tang Yu, who had been watching, couldn't help but laugh and mock him in his mind.
However, Ye Qiu's failure to repair it wasn't because he lacked skills.
It was because Tang Yu had learned his dishonest methods and also manipulated the restorative liquid to ensure he couldn't fix it.
After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts again, Liu Ruyan, with a serious face, said:
"There's no need, there's no point in trying anymore. If you can't fix it, leave it here. However, I will investigate why the figurine broke today."
Uncle Liu, who was standing nearby, changed his expression when he heard this. He stepped forward, slapped his face in guilt, and said:
"Miss, I'm terribly sorry, this is completely my fault, I'm willing to accept any punishment."
The young lady had always been very kind to him.
But now, he had broken the most important item for the young lady.
It made him feel like he wanted to die.
"It's not necessarily your fault. When I handed it to you, you took it properly, and then it suddenly broke. There must be a reason for this, have them check the security cameras."
Liu Ruyan shook her head and said.
She already knew who the culprit was, she just didn't have proof.
Hearing that Liu Ruyan was going to check the security cameras, Ye Qiu didn't think much of it.
He thought this woman was just a bit suspicious, so he turned around and said:
"I'm sorry I couldn't help Miss Liu today. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Seeing that Ye Qiu was about to leave, Liu Ruyan concluded that this guy definitely felt guilty.
With a cold voice, she said:
"One moment, Mr. Ye. If I'm not mistaken, when I handed the box to Uncle Liu, you were standing right beside us watching."
"Then, don't be in such a hurry to leave, come and let's watch the security footage, maybe we can find the culprit."
"Miss Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Qiu's face darkened, and a spark of anger flashed in his eyes.
Is this woman accusing me without evidence?
"You can interpret it however you want."
Liu Ruyan responded, her expression unfriendly.
A flash of coldness appeared in Ye Qiu's eyes. He hated when others doubted him for no reason! Even if it was him who did it!
However, after thinking about it for a moment...
If this woman finds out that it had nothing to do with him, on the contrary, she would have to apologize to him.
At that moment, if he forgave her, that would also be a way to win her sympathy.
So, he acted indifferently and said:
"If Miss Liu says so, then I can only do as you ask."
Liu Ruyan took him and Uncle Liu to the monitoring room and played the footage.
The surveillance captured all three of them.
At that moment, Ye Qiu was standing about two meters away from them.
After Uncle Liu took the box, his movements became a bit awkward, and suddenly the box fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan quickly stepped back and started playing the recording in slow motion.
Her eyes focused on Ye Qiu.
But because Ye Qiu's speed was too fast,
his hand seemed to have changed nothing at all.
He just took it out and put it back into his pocket as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu sneered inside.
Can anyone see through an expert at the [Heaven] level?
Unless they have high-speed military cameras, otherwise, it would be impossible to capture his movements.
"Miss Liu, with this, is it enough to prove my innocence? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Ye Qiu kept a calm tone.
This way, he showed good manners and understanding.
He wanted this woman to feel some guilt in her heart.
That way, the next time he saved her, she would surely fall in love with him without hesitation.
"Alright, I've been too hasty, I'm very sorry."
Liu Ruyan reluctantly apologized, but inside she hated him even more.
Although there was no proof that he was the culprit,
she had already decided that he was behind it all.
Once she found the evidence, she would surely make him pay!
After Ye Qiu left, she looked at Uncle Liu and asked:
"Uncle Liu, why did you feel your hand numb when you took the box?"
"I don't know, it felt like an insect was biting me. I'm really sorry for what happened, Miss."
Uncle Liu spoke with a bitter tone.
"It's not your fault, someone tampered with the box on purpose. He was after me, you don't need to blame yourself."
Liu Ruyan knew Uncle Liu was innocent, so she didn't blame him.
She turned around and went downstairs to look for Gu Yunqing, preparing to ask him to repair the jade figurine again.
When she got downstairs, the crowd that had gathered had already dispersed.
She went to the box and saw that the jade figurine had already been completely restored.
"Is it ready?"
Liu Ruyan showed an astonished expression.
Carefully, she picked up the jade figurine and examined it.
She moved it slightly and realized that it had indeed been repaired and was like new.
It was also exactly the same as before, with no defects.
At that moment, Gu Yunqing entered.
He was carrying a bottle with a new repair solution, ready to try it again.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was holding the restored jade figurine in her hands,
he widened his eyes and asked:
"Miss, who was the expert who repaired this? How did they do it so quickly?"
"Didn't you fix it?"
Liu Ruyan also widened her eyes.
"No, no, no, I just went to the bathroom. I only prepared the repair solution and was about to try it again."
Gu Yunqing explained with a bitter smile.
"So who did it?"
Liu Ruyan was completely bewildered.
She went back up to the monitoring room.
Every corner of the antique shop was monitored.
She asked them to check the cameras in that area, and soon discovered that a man wearing a mask had quickly repaired the jade figurine.
