As a generally mild-mannered person, Wu Tian would not normally say such things.
Correspondingly, when he did say them, it meant he was extremely angry.
However, Yi Yun was determined to set a trap for Wu Tian and naturally would not let go so easily.
He said coldly, "You have quite the nerve. Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that?"
"Besides, you are clearly the one deceiving us."
"Now you're raising your voice. What are you doing, trying to turn the tables?"
Wu Tian said gloomily, "Don't talk to me about all that nonsense. I just want you to return my vase quickly!"
"I'm only refraining from taking action out of respect for your boss. You'd best not push me!"
Yi Yun sneered, "Our boss? You must be joking. Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Do you think you're someone who can even get close to our boss?"
"If you want to defraud us, then defraud us. Is saying all this going to help?"
"I thought you were young and decided to give you another chance, so I didn't call the police."
"But if you insist on being unreasonable, then I will call the police!"
Wu Tian felt incredibly annoyed. He truly hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
How had he ended up in a wolf's den after all this careful selection?
However, he also felt fortunate.
It was a good thing he had come. If Wang Da Mao had come out to sell the goods, wouldn't he have been taken advantage of?
He took a deep breath and then said, "You say I'm defrauding you, but have you thought this through? My item has been authenticated by your establishment."
"You all said there were no problems back then, and now, in the blink of an eye, you're calling my item a fake. Don't you think your act is too fake?"
Yi Yun sneered, "You must be mistaken. When did I ever say your goods were genuine?"
"I only said I'd take it in for a thorough inspection, but I never said anything like that!"
"If you don't believe me, ask our master appraiser. See what he says!"
With that, Yi Yun clapped his hands, and the master craftsman from before immediately walked in.
Yi Yun asked him, "Master Wang, this kid insists his item is genuine. Tell us, is his item real?"
Master Wang's expression was a little stiff, and he remained silent for a moment.
"Hmm?" Yi Yun pressed him, layers of pressure emanating from his gaze and bearing down on the master craftsman.
The master craftsman trembled slightly.
He knew that if he didn't cooperate with Yi Yun, he would not only lose his job but might also face trouble elsewhere.
Therefore, out of helplessness, he could only nod and say, "His... his item is fake. He's here to defraud us!"
Yi Yun immediately showed a smile and looked back at Wu Tian, saying, "Kid, did you hear that? You keep saying your item is real, but my man also says it's fake. Do you have any more excuses now?"
Seeing this, Wu Tian's anger surged.
How could he not see that the master craftsman was forced to give false testimony out of desperation?
But regardless, the master craftsman's words ultimately sided with Yi Yun.
And it clearly stated that his item was a fake!
Wu Tian trembled slightly with rage.
He turned to look at the qipao beauty and said, "You were there too. You should know if this is real or fake, right?"
The qipao beauty was also a bit perplexed, because what she had heard was indeed that Wu Tian's goods were genuine.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to seduce him and take advantage of Wu Tian to make a fortune.
However, thinking of Wu Tian's attitude towards her earlier, she felt a surge of annoyance.
At this moment, personal grudges were more important than anything else. So, she didn't care whether it was real or fake and directly said, "Of course, I know. Didn't our boss say he wanted to take another look?"
"Now the result is very clear. Your item is fake, and you're a liar!"
"You!" Wu Tian hadn't expected this qipao beauty to also be telling outright lies.
Everyone in this room was in cahoots. Not a single person could be trusted!
Yi Yun smiled even more triumphantly and said, "Did you hear that? All the witnesses you found have confirmed you're fake. Do you have any more excuses now?"
The qipao beauty was already angry with Wu Tian.
Seeing Wu Tian's declining situation, she immediately began to mock him, saying, "Oh my, I thought you were really going to turn your luck around. After all this, it turns out this is how it is!"
"No wonder you refused to have dinner with me. It seems you knew you were a fraud and didn't think you were good enough for me!"
Wu Tian remained silent, clenching his fists tightly.
He knew in his heart that saying anything more now was useless. Yi Yun was like someone who had taken possession of his vase, and there was no point in just talking.
Suddenly, he smashed the vase directly onto the ground!
With a crisp sound, the vase immediately shattered into pieces, the shards flying in all directions.
The qipao beauty was startled and almost fell to the ground.
She yelled at Wu Tian, "Hey! What are you doing! Are you crazy!"
Yi Yun also hadn't expected Wu Tian to take such action.
After the shock, he immediately reprimanded Wu Tian, "What is the meaning of this? What, are you planning to resort to violence?!"
Wu Tian's gaze was extremely grim, even showing a hint of murderous intent.
He said in a deep voice, "I'm telling you one last time, return my vase to me quickly!"
"I don't want to hear any more nonsense. If I don't see the vase within one minute, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Wu Tian's words were so terrifying that even Yi Yun felt a chill.
But Wu Tian was, after all, just one person, so Yi Yun wasn't that afraid.
He said grimly, "Good kid, you're quite tough, aren't you? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of tough people the most!"
"Playing this trick on me, I'll have to see how capable you really are!"
With that, Yi Yun walked to the door and shouted, "Someone is causing trouble here, come quickly!"
As his voice fell, three or four security guards immediately rushed over.
Pawnshops, after all, were places with considerable assets, so security was quite important.
These security guards were all tall and strong, clearly professional guards, the kind who could take on three opponents.
With these security guards present, Yi Yun became even more confident.
He raised his chin and arrogantly said to Wu Tian, "Kid, do you know fear now?"
"If you don't want to get beaten, get out of here right now! Otherwise, you'll just be thrown out!"
A sharp glint of light suddenly erupted in Wu Tian's eyes.
He instantly disappeared and instantly reappeared. In that millisecond, Yi Yun was already kicked flying!
"You want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!"
Wu Tian's voice was so chilling, it was as if the god of death had descended upon this world.
