"Boss!" Wu Tian's action was too sudden, catching everyone off guard.
Yi Yun crashed into the wall and then slumped to the ground, a look of pain on his face.
Wu Tian's kick was neither too heavy nor too light.
Yi Yun felt as if his lungs had been kicked open, and he couldn't help but cough violently.
"Boss, are you alright?" the old craftsman, his face panicked, quickly went to help Yi Yun.
After standing up, Yi Yun glared at Wu Tian, his eyes filled with fury.
Coughing, he roared, "Go! Go! Get him for me... cough cough... arrest him!"
The security guards obeyed and immediately charged at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's eyes were so cold, it was as if the entire Arctic was hidden within them.
He clenched his fists, his movements broad and powerful, utterly dominant.
The security guards, upon rushing forward, didn't even get close to Wu Tian before being sent flying and losing consciousness.
This scene stunned everyone else.
The qipao beauty, who had been ready with mocking words for Wu Tian, found herself unable to utter a single syllable at this moment.
Wu Tian walked up to Yi Yun and said coldly, "Where is my item? Give it to me!"
"Otherwise, my next kick won't be so light."
Yi Yun was terrified, so much so that he forgot the pain in his chest.
Yet, at the same time, he was seething with anger.
Although the fault lay with him, Wu Tian's actions today had caused him to lose face.
If he had obediently followed Wu Tian's words today, wouldn't this become a laughingstock for him in the future?
He couldn't accept such a thing, so he said sinisterly to Wu Tian, "You have quite the nerve, daring to act so recklessly here!"
"Do you know what kind of place this is? This is a branch of Chengfeng Pawnshop!"
"Our boss is very influential in the city. If she finds out about you, she will definitely not let you off!"
Wu Tian looked at him coldly and said, "Is that so? And do you know who I am?"
Yi Yun paused slightly and then said, "I don't care who you are. I'm telling you, in front of our boss, your identity is useless!"
"Also, I have news for you. Our boss is currently in a meeting in the county. I advise you to surrender now!"
"Otherwise, I'll call our boss over, and you'll be finished!"
Yi Yun thought his words would intimidate Wu Tian.
But to his surprise, Wu Tian merely said indifferently, "Your boss is in the county? That's great."
"Call your boss over now, it will save me the trouble."
Yi Yun was suddenly filled with suspicion.
How could Wu Tian dare to say such a thing? Was he someone important, which was why he wasn't afraid of their boss?
But that didn't make sense.
If Wu Tian were truly important, why would he bring that antique to exchange for money?
No, no, this guy must be bluffing!
After much thought, Yi Yun finally felt he had seen through Wu Tian.
He then said sinisterly, "You're a reckless fellow. If you have the guts, don't leave. I'll call our boss over right now!"
Wu Tian said calmly, "Leave? I'm afraid not. I won't leave until I get my vase back."
"By the way, I don't think you need to be the store manager anymore, so I advise you to resign yourself later."
Yi Yun didn't understand Wu Tian's words.
He thought Wu Tian was panicking and just talking nonsense, so he sneered, "Resign myself? What a joke!"
"Kid, you just wait. If I don't finish you off today, I won't rest!"
With that, Yi Yun, puffing with anger, took out his phone and called Yang Huilan.
Just as he said, Yang Huilan was in a meeting in the county.
The meeting was halfway through, and there was a half-hour break.
Yi Yun described the situation at the store to Yang Huilan, exaggerating it to make Wu Tian sound like a heinous villain.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Huilan, true to her nature, became furious.
So, during the break, she rushed over.
After hanging up, Yi Yun provocatively said to Wu Tian, "Our Manager Yang will be here soon. You should start thinking about how to apologize!"
"Oh, and let me remind you."
"Our Manager Yang has a bad temper. She hates scammers the most. If she doesn't send you to jail, she won't rest!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Send me to jail? You're the one who should be going to jail."
"I advise you to tidy up your clothes first, lest you have no time to do so later!"
Yi Yun said angrily, "You are truly lawless!"
"Fine, I'll see if our Manager Yang believes her own subordinate or you, the scammer!"
Yang Huilan's meeting location was quite close to here.
Before long, Yang Huilan arrived.
She was dressed formally today, and with her suit and sunglasses, she exuded an aura of both professionalism and elegance.
She walked into the store's lobby and said coldly, "Yi Yun, I'm here. Where are you?"
Hearing Yang Huilan's words, Yi Yun's heart leaped with joy.
He quickly walked out and called, "Manager Yang, I'm here, I'm here!"
Yang Huilan was quite stern with her subordinates, unlike the charming demeanor she displayed with Wu Tian.
She said coldly, "Tell me, what's going on with the situation you described on the phone?"
Yi Yun pointed to the lounge and said loudly, "Manager Yang, it's him, it's him! He's in the lounge right now. I've already got him under control!"
"That guy is too arrogant. Not only did he insult me, but he also dared to disregard you."
"He demanded that I call you over. You must teach this kind of person a lesson!"
"What! This happened?" Yang Huilan frowned slightly.
Clearly, she was displeased with such a situation.
She said, "Is that so? Is there such a person? Then I'd like to meet him."
Yi Yun's heart leaped with joy, and he immediately said, "Manager Yang, please come quickly, I'll lead the way!"
Yi Yun, like a sycophant, led Yang Huilan to the lounge.
At this moment, Wu Tian was already sitting on the sofa, sipping the unfinished tea, his expression relaxed.
"Oh, it's Manager Yang."
He flashed a bright smile and said, "Long time no see, how have you been lately?"
