One of them was a man in his forties, wearing glasses and an antique-style Tang suit.
Beside him, the young girl was as radiant as a blooming flower.
She was truly a beautiful girl, appearing to be the same age as Wu Tian, standing close to 1.7 meters tall with a devilish figure, just like a model on television.
She wore a long black dress, her slender legs covered by a thin layer of black stockings, and high heels that made her look even taller. There was almost nothing to fault in her entire appearance.
Wu Tian was also stunned by the girl's beauty and demeanor, unable to help but steal a few more glances.
"Miss Tang, thank you for your patronage. We welcome you back next time!"
The man in the Tang suit was the owner, named Liu Yun. He was rubbing his palms together with a fawning smile.
The girl's name was Tang Qi. She smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, it is I who should be thanking you."
"You helped me choose such a wonderful gift; my old man will surely be very pleased."
Liu Yun smiled, "Miss Tang, you are too kind. I merely did my job. Miss Tang, there's no need to thank me."
Seeing this, Wu Tian finally understood.
It turned out this beauty had come to buy an antique, which explained why she was carrying a suitable gift box.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Wu Tian, but he was curious about what Tang Qi had bought. Thus, he used his x-ray vision to look into the black gift box in Tang Qi's hand.
It was a pair of golden chopsticks, with phoenix patterns carved on them. Judging by their appearance alone, they were definitely not ordinary gold items.
However, at this moment, Wu Tian's expression turned strange.
He could tell that this pair of golden chopsticks was… fake!
As expected, a dishonest merchant!
Wu Tian, being a warm-hearted person, naturally did not want to see Tang Qi deceived.
Seeing that Tang Qi was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward and called out, "Beautiful lady! Please wait a moment!"
Tang Qi turned her head, looking at Wu Tian with confusion and asked, "You are…"
Wu Tian did not hold back at all and directly said, "Beautiful lady, you cannot leave. The item in your hand is fake!"
"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this, disbelief flickered in Tang Qi's eyes.
At the same time, Liu Yun's face also changed drastically!
Liu Yun stepped forward, frowning at Wu Tian and asked, "Who are you, kid, and what nonsense are you spouting here?"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Beat me up? You're selling fake goods and you still have the nerve? I detest dishonest merchants like you the most. You truly have no conscience!"
Tang Qi said with surprise, "Sir, are you mistaken?"
"How could Mr. Liu sell me fake goods? You must be mistaken."
Wu Tian looked at Tang Qi and said, "I am not mistaken. The golden chopsticks in your hand are fake!"
"Huh?" Tang Qi became even more surprised. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, a strange light flowing within them. "I don't think I've seen you before. How do you know I bought golden chopsticks?"
Wu Tian said, "You don't need to worry about how I know."
"You just need to know that you've been cheated."
Tang Qi had initially thought Wu Tian was speaking nonsense, but when Wu Tian revealed what she had bought, she immediately became half-believing.
She turned to look at Liu Yun, her smile slightly fading. "Mr. Liu, can you explain what's going on?"
Liu Yun's face stiffened, then he said angrily, "Miss Tang, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"My shop never sells fake goods. You've misunderstood me!"
"I knew it. He must have been sent by another shop to ruin my business. Don't listen to him. I'll kick him out right now!"
After saying that, he took a step closer to Wu Tian and shouted, "Get out! If you dare to disturb my business again, I'll f\*\*king kill you!"
Wu Tian, however, did not budge when Liu Yun pushed him.
He sneered, "Beautiful lady, not only is what he sold you fake, but there isn't a single genuine item in this entire shop!"
The other customers were initially watching the spectacle, but as soon as they heard Wu Tian's words, they immediately crowded around to join the fun.
Liu Yun knew that if he couldn't resolve this matter properly today, his business would be over.
Therefore, his expression became even more ferocious.
"You bastard! I won't let you off!"
He lunged directly at Wu Tian, his hands like eagle claws reaching out to grab him.
Wu Tian let out a cold snort, lightly tripped with his foot, and directly sent Liu Yun tumbling.
Liu Yun tried to get up and counterattack, but at this moment, Wu Tian snatched the black gift box from Tang Qi, tore it apart, revealing the pair of golden chopsticks.
To be honest, the chopsticks were crafted very exquisitely.
At first glance, no one would think they were fake.
Wu Tian's voice boomed like thunder, "Everyone! Take a good look at what this is!"
As the words fell, Wu Tian grabbed the golden chopsticks with both hands and then forcefully bent them!
*Crack!*
A crisp sound echoed.
Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, the pair of golden chopsticks was actually snapped in half by Wu Tian!
And then, even greater shock flooded everyone's eyes!
"Why are these golden chopsticks black inside?"
"These aren't golden chopsticks at all, are they plated gold?"
"I can't believe such a thing would happen. This is truly a dishonest merchant!"
The crowd realized what was happening and began to accuse Liu Yun. Tang Qi also angrily said to Liu Yun:
"Mr. Liu, what is going on?"
"Didn't you say these were chopsticks used by Empress Dowager Cixi? Would Empress Dowager Cixi use gold-plated chopsticks?"
At this moment, Liu Yun's face had turned extremely pale.
He didn't know who this young man who suddenly appeared was, but undoubtedly, this young man had not only ruined this deal for him but also the future of his shop!
In fact, he was usually very good at deceiving people, otherwise, he wouldn't have sold so many fake goods.
But now, with irrefutable evidence, even he didn't know what to say.
The crowd was indignant, and their spittle alone could drown him.
Someone had called the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and they would arrive soon.
If his goods were inspected, he could face huge fines.
Ruined, everything was ruined…
Seeing the onlookers apprehending Liu Yun, Wu Tian sighed inwardly.
People like him were simply reaping what they sowed. Now that the dishonest merchant had received his just punishment, it was no longer his concern.
He quietly walked out, planning to check out other shops.
But after only a few steps out the door, he heard a call from behind him.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
Wu Tian turned his head in confusion and saw Tang Qi, in her high heels, walking quickly towards him.
"Is there anything else?" Wu Tian asked Tang Qi.
