Chapter 76 - Seizure

“Arrest him?”

Chen Yushan looked at Boss Liang mockingly and said sternly, “Do you think I’m blind?

Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog.

First, you pocketed Old Man Han’s painting, and now you backpedal and try to steal Haochuan’s work.

In my opinion, the person who should be arrested isn’t someone else; it’s you!”

Hearing this, Boss Liang stumbled; if it weren’t for his men supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

After regaining his footing, Boss Liang became frantic and pointed his finger at Chen Yushan’s nose, cursing, “You bitch, acting all high and mighty just because you’re wearing black leather.

Don’t think I don’t know what your relationship is; you’re his girlfriend.

What right do you have to point fingers and make judgments?”

“You…” Chen Yushan was so angry her nose was askew.

However, to be fair, although she was a police officer, she had just acknowledged she was the bad guy’s girlfriend, which indeed was not proper for her to speak out for Haochuan, no matter how justified he was!

Seeing Chen Yushan at a disadvantage, Boss Liang grew even more smug and told his subordinates, “Quick, call the police station, and report this bitch.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a loud voice came from the door, “Report whom?”

All eyes turned towards the entrance, only to see a large group of police officers entering.

Haochuan recognized the leader at once; it was Captain Wang Qiang.

He was also the one who had spoken!

Upon noticing Haochuan, Captain Wang Qiang’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, damn, how come this guy is everywhere?

As soon as he saw Captain Wang, Boss Liang rushed over like he had seen his own father, tearfully recounting how Haochuan had stolen paintings and beaten people.

Wang Qiang frowned heavily, thinking, great, it’s related to Haochuan again, hoping that Haochuan was in the right, otherwise, it would be a difficult situation to handle.

“Nonsense, it’s your own inconstancy that’s to blame!”

Seeing his benefactor being slandered by Boss Liang, Elder Han, who had not spoken until now, was unstoppable in his anger and said, “Officer, you must not listen to this crook’s words; they’re not truthful…”

He then explained what had transpired in detail.

As the saying goes, “The just cause enjoys abundant support, while the unjust cause finds little.” Elder Han’s words immediately won the approval of the onlookers.

Wang Qiang turned to the only police officer present, Chen Yushan, for confirmation, and after receiving a definitive response, he became furious, “Shameless crook, to dare twist right and wrong in front of me, damn it, this must be handled seriously.

Men, take this crook away.

Seal up his shop as well!”

Upon hearing this, Boss Liang’s vision darkened, clearly not expecting the situation to escalate to this point; he hurriedly admitted his fault and begged for mercy.

But it was already too late.

Wang Qiang bellowed, “Damn it, do you think it’s all settled with an apology and compensation?

Cut the crap and lock him up for a few days first!”

Two police officers, without further ado, hoisted Boss Liang up and dragged him out like a dead dog towards the police car.

Next, Wang Qiang arranged for people to seal the antique shop and send the employees away.

The crowd that had gathered also left the antique shop, and everyone applauded the capture of a swindler like Boss Liang, feeling a great sense of satisfaction.

As for the young master Xiao Ding and others, they took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene.

However, before leaving, Xiao Ding looked at Ye Haochuan with a gleam of viciousness in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect, thinking, “Ye Haochuan, dare to oppose me, Xiao Ding, I’ll make sure you won’t even know how you died.”

After securing the painting, Ye Haochuan and Old Han stepped outside.

“Old Han, now you understand why I gave you a million before, right?” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.

“Understood, understood,” Old Han said with admiration, “Junior Brother Ye is impressive.

I’ve guarded this ancestral painting for decades and never found the secret compartment.

It’s truly embarrassing.”

Ye Haochuan laughed and said, “Old Han, you’re not an expert in this field, so it’s not strange that you didn’t find the compartment.

That swindler Boss Liang has been in antiques for decades, and he didn’t discover it either, right?”

“That’s true, that’s true…” Old Han’s face, wrinkled like tree bark, lit up with a joyous smile, but then he said resentfully, “Thank goodness that bastard didn’t find it.

Otherwise, he might not have been willing to sell the painting to you.”

Ye Haochuan nodded and then suddenly said, “Old Han, to tell you the truth, I really do want this painting.

How about the million I just gave you, do you think it’s enough?

If not, I’m willing to add more…”

Before he could finish, Old Han immediately waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, Junior Brother Ye, you’ve already helped me a great deal, how could I have the shameless audacity to ask for a higher price from you?”

Ye Haochuan went on, “But, thinking about your grandson buying a wedding house, a million might not be enough to get something satisfactory.

Don’t worry, Old Han, with the value of this authentic Gu Kaizhi painting, even five million wouldn’t be too much.”

Still, Old Han shook his head vigorously and said, “Junior Brother Ye, don’t say that.

A million is already a huge sum for an old man like me.

In our countryside, a million can build three or four small western-style buildings.

I’m content.

Plus, if it weren’t for you stepping in today, I might not have even got that million!”

Hearing Old Han’s words, Ye Haochuan immediately felt a deep respect, and his previous impression of Old Han being unreasonable completely disappeared.

But thinking back on it, it was also understandable.

After all, the ancestral painting was his hope for buying his grandson a wedding house, and to be deceived by a swindler like Boss Liang, how could he not be furious?

If it had been him, he probably would have exploded with anger and charged straight in to start a fight!

At this point, Old Han wore a look of shame, saying, “Oh, it’s so humiliating.

I, Old Han, have lived to this age and have come to claim something I’ve already sold.

It’s embarrassing, so embarrassing…”

Just as Ye Haochuan was about to console him, Chen Yushan and Officer Wang Qiang went their separate ways and directly approached.

Yushan unexpectedly dragged Ye Haochuan to a secluded corner with a look of deep resentment in her wide-open almond eyes, exclaiming, “Oh, you, Haochuan, daring to take advantage of me just now, do you have a death wish or what?”

Old Han was dumbstruck, not knowing what she said due to the distance but seeing her furious demeanor, he thought it was utterly outrageous for such an aggressive and domineering woman to treat her boyfriend this way.

Watching Chen Yushan’s anger making her full bosom heave with every breath, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but swallow and said with a cheeky grin, “Wife, why are you so angry?”

“Who is your wife?

Watch your mouth around me!” Chen Yushan scolded, grabbing his collar.

Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, “Didn’t you admit it yourself back in the antique shop?”

“Admit my foot!” Chen Yushan’s anger was unstoppable, “That was me playing along with you, to save your face in front of your ex-girlfriend, got it?”
