Upon hearing this, the man hung his head, looking utterly defeated. "Greed got the better of me," he admitted. "When you came to our place to rent the warehouse, you seemed so innocent and straightforward. I figured a rich young lady like you would be young and easy to fool. I was wrong."
'Innocent and straightforward? Just say I look stupid and loaded.'
A flicker of understanding crossed Chi Wan's eyes as she listened to the man, but she didn't say anything else.
After the group left, Zhou Huaijin crouched down to examine the flower on the ground, letting out a resigned laugh. "Using a Golden Silk Horse Tail to pass for a Ghost Orchid... They've really got some nerve."
Chi Wan crouched down as well. She shook the dirt from the mangled orchid and picked it up before saying slowly, "Would an ordinary person even think of using this to pass for a Ghost Orchid in a scam?"
