Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Adding Fuel to the Fire

"Whether Jiang Yitian is guilty or not I cannot yet confirm, but if we want to fully resolve this matter, we must start with Jiang Yitian!"

Chen Feng did not categorically state his conclusion.

In fact, he was ninety-nine percent certain that Jiang Yitian was behind it.

After all, Jiang Yitian was responsible for the new jewelry, and who else could imperceptibly replace all the new stock with counterfeit and substandard goods?

So, there really was no need to even consider it.

The only reason Chen Feng did not firmly claim this was out of respect for Lin Wanqing.

No matter what, Jiang Yitian was the deputy general manager of Lin’s Jewelry and a subordinate trusted by Lin Wanqing.

To directly state Jiang Yitian was at fault in front of so many people would be quite disrespectful to Lin Wanqing.

Moreover, if word got out, it would undoubtedly be a huge scandal for Lin’s Jewelry with a very negative impact.

"Chen Feng, I understand what you mean. I’ll send someone to look for Jiang Yitian now, but what should we do about these people?" Lin Wanqing pointed to the people temporarily subdued by Chen Feng, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she spoke with some worry.

She was now afraid that these people would cause trouble again.

"Leave them to me, and you take care of the matter with Jiang Yitian!" Chen Feng said with a faint smile.

Having said that, he walked directly in front of those people, looked at them, and smiled,

"Sorry to have frightened everyone just now. I was only trying to ask everyone to calm down. Wouldn’t it be better if we could settle this matter amicably? Please, everyone, stay calm."

"Hmph, easy for you to say, you haven’t been cheated, of course, you’re not worried! My millions are now all gone to waste, how can I not be angry?" a middle-aged boss complained under his breath as he looked resentfully at Chen Feng.

He owned a jewelry store and often imported from Lin’s Jewelry as he found them reliable.

So when Lin’s Jewelry introduced their new jewelry, he had placed an order worth millions in one go.

But to his dismay, soon after Lin’s Jewelry delivered the batch, he discovered that the jewelry was actually all high-quality imitations along with a bunch of defective goods.

This infuriated him to the point where he wished he could tear down Lin’s Jewelry.

After all, his was just a small jewelry store and those millions meant the world to him.

Not just him, the other partners felt the same way.

So when this middle-aged boss voiced his concerns, the rest of the partners also started to express their grievances, all pouring their hearts out to Chen Feng.

However, due to Chen Feng’s shocking kick earlier, no one dared to shout or rush into the company anymore.

"I understand the difficulties everyone is facing, and I ask you to also understand the difficulties Lin’s Jewelry is facing. We are currently investigating the issue. Once confirmed, I guarantee that Lin’s Jewelry will return every penny of your payments. Please give Lin’s Jewelry a little more time!" Chen Feng spoke to appease them.

"Do your words count? Can you represent Lin’s Jewelry?" a middle-aged woman questioned.

Chen Feng smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Lin Wanqing.

"He can represent us!" Lin Wanqing immediately nodded.

Seeing this, the crowd’s mood stabilized somewhat.

They knew that continuing to create a fuss wasn’t going to resolve the issue.

Since Chen Feng had made such a promise, they might as well trust him one more time, especially since there was nothing to lose.

With this, the situation stabilized for the moment.

Lin Wanqing and Wu Kun both heaved a sigh of relief.

Indeed, reasoning alone was useless; Chen Feng’s method was more effective.

First, subdue the crowd with force, then pacify them with reason.

Lin Wanqing and Wu Kun finally relaxed, the smiles returning to their faces.

However, Qian Long and Qian Zhita saw that Chen Feng had stabilized the situation, and their faces instantly turned ugly.

Qian Long glanced back at Qian Zhita and nodded slightly.

Qian Zhita immediately understood Qian Long’s intention, stepped forward, and pointing at Chen Feng who had calmed everyone down, said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you really believe what this man is saying? It’s clear he’s just here to fool you on behalf of Lin’s Jewelry. Once he leaves, Lin’s Jewelry will deny everything. Then who will you turn to?"

The crowd, already sensitive, became tense again upon hearing Qian Zhita’s words, their gazes filled with doubt as they looked at Chen Feng.

The situation that had just stabilized was about to become chaotic again.

Chen Feng furrowed his brows, his gaze icy as he looked at Qian Zhita, the troublemaker.

This guy clearly loved to watch the world burn, keen on pouring gasoline on the fire.

This made Chen Feng’s gaze grow even colder.

However, facing Chen Feng’s icy stare, Qian Zhita not only did not back down but continued to fan the flames, telling everyone how untrustworthy Lin’s Jewelry was and recounting all the deceitful things they had supposedly done in the past.

In short, he described Lin’s Jewelry as a company that would stoop to any low.

And his words, which were mostly fabricated and false, were believed by the crowd, their faces once again showing anger.

Seeing this, Qian Zhita turned to Chen Feng with a smug, defiant look in his eyes.

"If Young Master Qian isn’t telling stories, it truly wastes talent. Your ability to make up stories far exceeds that of professional storytellers," Chen Feng said coolly, his gaze icy.

"Storytelling? Are you implying that everything I just said was made up?" Qian Zhita asked with a cold laugh.

"What else? Is there even a single truth in your words?" Chen Feng retorted coldly.

"It doesn’t matter what you say; after all, you are with Lin’s Jewelry, you would refute anything I say. However, I believe everyone here can see the truth. Am I right?" Qian Zhita said, looking towards the crowd.

The crowd immediately nodded, their expressions of anger intensifying.

"This is outrageous, Mr. Qian, don’t push it too far!" Wu Kun glared at Qian Zhita and roared.

"Oh, I’m just overstepping a bit. What can you do about it? If you have the guts, come hit me. I repeat, come on, kick me right here!" Qian Zhita said, turning his backside towards Chen Feng and Wu Kun, continuing his taunts.

Qian Zhita was confident, knowing he had many bodyguards behind him, that Chen Feng and Wu Kun wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him, which is why he was so brazen.

"I knew you two cowards wouldn’t dare. This time I brought so many bodyguards, you two can’t even touch a hair on me, just a pair of trash!" Qian Zhita said, his face full of disdain.

However, just as Qian Zhita finished speaking.

A dark figure suddenly rushed forward, lifting a foot and kicking towards Qian Zhita’s backside.

"Ow!"

A scream sounded as Qian Zhita clutched his backside and flew out, stumbling and falling face-first.

The crowd, including Qian Long and the bodyguards, were shocked.

They were too slow to react due to the incredible speed of the dark figure.

It wasn’t until Qian Zhita hit the ground that they reacted.

They hurriedly looked towards the figure.

To their astonishment, the figure was none other than Chen Feng!
