Xu Yang stared at the red seal, his mind completely blank.
He didn't know what to say, so he took two steps back and forced himself to say, "I, I don't know either, how could this happen?"
As he spoke, he tugged at Jiang Chaoqun a couple of times and added, "Mr. Jiang, you've inspected all these antiques, how could there be something like this?"
Seeing Xu Yang shift the blame onto him, Jiang Chaoqun was also taken aback.
He stammered, "Yes, yes, shouldn't all these antiques be genuine? How could there be something like this?"
He thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Oh, I know, this must be a coincidence!"
"After all, there's such a large quantity, fifty to sixty antiques. It's normal for a few of them to be fakes."
"A few fakes?" Wu Tian chuckled coldly.
"You really have the nerve to say that, a few, huh? Fine, then open your eyes wide and take a good look."
With that, Wu Tian opened a few more boxes and proceeded to smash the porcelain inside.
Without exception, every shard at the bottom bore the counterfeit seal!
Wu Tian stared at Xu Yang and Jiang Chaoqun and said, "I've opened ten antiques now, and they all have the counterfeit mark. You're telling me this is a coincidence?"
"Let me tell you, if you want to see more, I can find plenty for you."
"After all, I'm sure you know how much water is in this batch of goods. So I advise you to stop pretending. No matter how much you pretend, it's useless."
Seeing this, Yang Huilan basically understood what was going on.
She gazed at Xu Yang and said, "Xu Yang, explain yourself. What exactly is happening?"
With irrefutable evidence before him, Xu Yang knew he could no longer hide it.
To deflect responsibility, he quickly berated Jiang Chaoqun, "Jiang Chaoqun, didn't you say this batch of goods had no problems? What's going on?"
Jiang Chaoqun wasn't a fool. He knew Xu Yang was trying to make him a scapegoat, and resentment immediately surged within him.
He glared at Xu Yang and said, "Xu Yang, what the hell do you mean? Are you crossing the bridge and burning it?"
"This was clearly your idea, how can you blame me?"
Xu Yang's heart sank. His intention was simple: to have Jiang Chaoqun take the fall, and then he would compensate Jiang Chaoqun later.
But he hadn't expected Jiang Chaoqun to be such a cowardly fellow who didn't understand his intentions at all.
He immediately became anxious, stamping his foot and shouting, "Jiang Chaoqun! If it's your problem, it's your problem. Don't slander me!"
"If you admit your mistake now, there's still hope. Otherwise, you'll face consequences!"
He felt his hint was obvious enough.
But Jiang Chaoqun was only thinking of saving himself, so he didn't grasp Xu Yang's meaning at all.
Not only that, but he became even more enraged by Xu Yang's words and directly pointed at Xu Yang's nose, cursing, "Xu Yang! You bastard! You're so shameless!"
"You were the one who approached me and asked me to get you a bunch of fakes, wanting to scam money from the company and leave. You even said you'd give me ten million as a reward after it was done!"
"But now you're dumping the blame on me. What the hell do you mean? Do you think I'm easy to bully!"
Xu Yang's face turned green with anxiety.
He almost started crying and raised his voice, shouting, "You, are you an idiot!"
"If you don't understand, then don't understand. Why did you have to say all of this!"
Jiang Chaoqun retorted angrily, "You're the one who did these rotten things, why can't I say them?"
"Besides, if you hadn't tried to cross the bridge and burn it, would I have said these things!"
"You!" Xu Yang's heart ached with anger.
It was only then that he realized how infuriating a so-called "pig teammate" could be.
Just as he was about to curse Jiang Chaoqun violently.
But at that moment, an extremely cold aura suddenly attacked him from the side, making his soul tremble.
He mechanically turned his head and immediately saw Yang Huilan's ashen face.
Instantly, as if the sky were about to collapse, he tremblingly said, "Lanlan, Lanlan, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think, I..."
But before he could finish, with a crisp slap,
Yang Huilan's palm landed heavily on his face!
"Xu Yang, you scoundrel, you deserve to die!"
Yang Huilan's furious roar was earth-shattering to Xu Yang, scaring him so much that he almost fell to the ground.
His face filled with horror, he said, "Lan, Lanlan, listen to my explanation, it's really not what you think!"
"Shut up!" Yang Huilan continued to scold, "Take back your address. Don't call me Lanlan, call me Ms. Yang!"
Xu Yang said tremblingly, "Ms. Yang, this was an accident, it's really an accident!"
"We're husband and wife, how could I do such a thing? This is all Jiang Chaoqun's fault, it has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing Xu Yang still dare to say such things, Jiang Chaoqun rushed forward and grabbed Xu Yang's collar, his spittle almost hitting Xu Yang's face.
"Xu Yang! You bastard, how dare you talk nonsense, I'll rip your stinking mouth open!"
Xu Yang was agitated, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.
He violently shoved Jiang Chaoqun to the ground, then stomped on him fiercely twice, cursing, "I told you to shut up, can't you understand human language!"
"This is all your fault! If you hadn't been spouting nonsense here, how would things have turned out like this!"
"I'll stomp you to death! I'll stomp you to death!"
Xu Yang continued to trample on Jiang Chaoqun, while Jiang Chaoqun wailed on the ground, unable to get up.
As for this, Yang Huilan had no intention of stopping it.
These two had colluded, attempting to embezzle such a massive amount of company assets.
Now that they were turning on each other, it was exactly what she wanted to see.
Xu Yang stomped on Jiang Chaoqun dozens of times, almost crushing him to death, before finally stopping.
Panting, he looked at Yang Huilan and said grimly, "Yang Huilan, you're happy now, aren't you? You're satisfied now!"
Yang Huilan said coldly, "What, by the sound of it, you feel wronged?"
"What you did is equivalent to breaking the law. Don't you know that?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Yang roared like a madman, "Yang Huilan! Why did I do this? Isn't it all your fault!"
"It's one thing for you to want a divorce, but you even played dirty, making sure I couldn't get a single penny. Are you even human!"
