He smiled as he picked up the jade figurine and handed it to Liu Ruyan.
"Miss Liu, the item has been repaired. Please take good care of it. If there are any more issues, feel free to co to ."
Just as Liu Ruyan was about to take it, the jade figurine cracked again.
Luckily, Liu Ruyan was quick enough to catch it.
Otherwise, if it fell to the ground again, not even a deity could save it.
Seeing this, the onlookers who had just been praising him started to change their tune.
"What the heck? I thought he really fixed it after all that show."
"Didn't fix it at all, huh? I could've done that too."
"Is that all?"
Ye Qiu couldn't even be bothered to get angry at these people.
He looked at the cracked jade figurine in his hand, his expression as if he had just swallowed sothing foul.
What was going on?
He should have fixed it already.
The repair solution he used was personally concocted by him.
This repair solution was far superior to Gu Yunqing's ancestral formula, so there was no reason for this to happen.
"Mr. Ye, it seems I overestimated you."
Liu Ruyan took the remaining pieces of the jade figurine from Ye Qiu's hand and placed them in a box.
Her face was pained, and she was filled with anger.
At this point, she really didn't know how to fix the jade figurine.
But at least she knew who was responsible!
After Liu Ruyan's words, Ye Qiu's face turned even darker.
He had co here today to make a good impression, but he ended up ssing things up.
"Maybe I made a mistake. Let try again."
Ye Qiu said unwillingly. This was a great opportunity to win favor and charm her!
No matter how skilled he was, he couldn't always create such opportunities!
[Even if you try a million tis, it's useless, idiot.]
[Even if you fix it, so what?]
[Didn't you break it in the first place?]
[If you hadn't deliberately sabotaged the store clerk, nothing would have happened today.]
Tang Yu, watching from the back, chuckled to himself.
However, Ye Qiu's failure wasn't due to his lack of skill.
It was because Tang Yu had learned from his shaless tricks and tampered with his repair solution.
So he was destined to fail.
Hearing these thoughts again, Liu Ruyan said with a dark face.
"No need, there's no point in trying again. If it can't be fixed, just leave it here. But I do want to investigate why the jade figurine fell today."
Uncle Liu, standing nearby, looked slightly panicked and stepped forward, slapping himself hard on the face, apologizing.
"Miss, I'm sorry. This is entirely my fault today, and I'm willing to accept any punishnt."
The young lady usually treated him well.
But he ended up dropping her most important treasure.
He felt like dying inside.
"It might not be your fault. I handed it to you, and you were holding it just fine. There must be a reason for this sudden incident. Let's check the surveillance footage."
Liu Ruyan shook her head.
She already knew who the culprit was, but she had no evidence.
Hearing Liu Ruyan wanted to check the surveillance, Ye Qiu didn't think much of it.
He thought she was just being overly suspicious and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you today, Miss Liu. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Seeing Ye Qiu about to leave, Liu Ruyan was convinced he was feeling guilty.
She spoke coldly.
"Wait a mont, Mr. Ye. If I rember correctly, when I handed the box to Uncle Liu, you were right there watching."
"In that case, why don't you stay and watch the surveillance with us? Maybe we'll find the culprit."
"Miss Liu, what do you an by this?"
Ye Qiu's face darkened, a flash of anger in his eyes.
This woman, was she suspecting him without any evidence?
"You can interpret it that way."
Liu Ruyan said with a hostile expression.
A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. He hated being unjustly suspected! Even if he was indeed the one responsible.
But then he thought.
If she found out it had nothing to do with him, she would have to apologize.
Forgiving her then could be a way to win her favor.
So he pretended to be calm and said.
"Since Miss Liu insists, I'll go along with it."
Liu Ruyan then took him and Uncle Liu to the surveillance room and pulled up the footage.
The surveillance captured all three of them.
At that mont, Ye Qiu was standing about two ters away from them.
After Uncle Liu took the box.
His hand suddenly moved unnaturally, and the box fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan quickly rewound and played it in slow motion.
Her gaze shifted to Ye Qiu.
But Ye Qiu's speed was so fast.
His hand seed unchanged.
He simply took it out and put it back in his pocket.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu sneered inwardly.
With his Heavenly Realm cultivation, how could ordinary people see through his actions?
Unless they used military-grade high-speed caras, it was impossible to capture his movents.
"Miss Liu, this proves my innocence, doesn't it? If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Ye Qiu maintained a calm deanor.
To appear cultured and magnanimous.
Making this woman feel a bit guilty towards him.
That way, next ti he helped her out, she would undoubtedly fall for him.
"Alright, I was overthinking. I apologize."
Liu Ruyan reluctantly apologized, but her hatred for him only grew.
Although there was no evidence to prove he did it.
She was convinced he was the one causing trouble.
When she found evidence, she would definitely settle the score with him!
After Ye Qiu left, she turned to Uncle Liu and asked.
"Uncle Liu, why did your hand suddenly feel numb when you took the box?"
"I don't know, it felt like sothing bit . I'm really sorry, Miss."
Uncle Liu said with a bitter tone.
"It's not your fault. Soone deliberately tampered with it, targeting . You don't need to bla yourself."
Liu Ruyan knew Uncle Liu was innocent, so she wouldn't bla him.
She turned and went downstairs to find Gu Yunqing, planning to have him try repairing the jade figurine again.
When she returned downstairs, the crowd had already dispersed.
She walked over to the box and found the jade figurine had been restored.
"It's fixed?"
Liu Ruyan was astonished.
She carefully picked up the jade figurine and examined it.
She gently shook it, confirming it was indeed repaired!
And it was exactly like before, without a single flaw.
Just then, Gu Yunqing walked in.
He was holding a bottle of newly concocted repair solution, ready to try again.
Seeing Liu Ruyan holding the repaired jade figurine.
He widened his eyes and asked.
"Miss, which expert did you find to fix this? How did it get done so quickly?"
"Wasn't it you who fixed it?"
Liu Ruyan was equally surprised.
"No, no, I just went to the bathroom, and I just finished preparing the repair solution, ready to try again."
Gu Yunqing explained with a wry smile.
"Then who could it be?"
Liu Ruyan was puzzled.
She went back upstairs to the surveillance room.
Every spot in the antique shop had surveillance.
She had soone pull up the footage and saw a masked man quickly repairing the jade figurine.
