The two drove back to Jianglanyuan.

Shortly after arriving home, Qiao Lin received a delivery call from the property management.

Ye Xinghe emptied the clothes out of the box, took a picture, and sent it to Zhou Yi.

The other party called, sounding very excited: "Wow, Ye Xinghe! You're definitely my number one fan! You even have a better selection of styles than I do!"

"Designer Zhou, take another look! Is this your clothing?" Ye Xinghe sent her a few more detailed photos.

A moment later, they heard the other person scream in surprise, "Something's not right! Where did you come from?!"

Ye Xinghe briefly explained the situation to her, "So, Designer Zhou, do you want the money that's practically handed to you?"

Zhou Yi immediately decided to return to Jiangyang City the next day.

Ye Xinghe told her to come directly to Jianglanyuan tomorrow.

Qiao Lin looked at Ye Xinghe with a worried expression, "Miss, the things in Jiang Yan's shop are very strange. I think it's best not to go there lightly."

"It's alright. I guess that thing is only available in the VIP room," Ye Xinghe said firmly. On her way home, she had thought about it. For the Evil Yin Talisman to work, it needed to be in a relatively small space. Moreover, she dared not openly display it in a crowded place. Those who could bring it into the VIP room were all wealthy guests; Jiang Yan's move was truly clever!

"Then when Miss Zhou arrives tomorrow, we'll head straight there! Selling counterfeit goods is against the laws of China, let's arrest her and lock her up for a few months!" Qiao Lin rubbed his hands together, eager for tomorrow to arrive.

Ye Xinghe's brows relaxed, revealing a wicked smile. "No, that's too boring. Before sending her in, I must squeeze every last drop of blood out of her!"

It only takes a little over two hours to drive from Shanghai to Jiangyang City, and Zhou Yi arrived at Jianglanyuan at 11:00 AM.

Ye Xinghe and Qiao Lin stayed here last night and planned to order takeout for lunch and have hot pot at home.

Zhou Yi had no appetite at all. Her hard work in creating the artwork had been plagiarized at will. As soon as she entered the room, she went straight for the pile of clothes.

“This is definitely not one of my clothes,” Zhou Yi concluded after just one glance. “But her forgery skills are indeed superb.”

Ye Xinghe didn't understand the reason. She only knew that the JOEL brand had no franchise stores and would not cooperate with any stores.

"Besides the few anti-counterfeiting measures that everyone knows about on the market, I also left a secret that no one knows about, not even the production workshop."

Zhou Yi looked at the two of them mysteriously and slowly said:

“In addition to the neck label, the clothes I design also have a brand logo embroidered inside. Counterfeiters only pay attention to the color of the thread and the font. What they don’t know is that the letter “J” in the logo has a fluorescent reaction.”

Zhou Yi took the clothes he had given to Ye Xinghe out of the bag and pressed the button on his UV flashlight. Sure enough, the "J" in "JOEL" was much brighter than the other letters.

And none of the things I bought from Jiang Yan yesterday are available.

"Great! We won't have hot pot! I'll treat you two to a big meal! Let's go out and celebrate!" Ye Xinghe's cat-like eyes curved into crescent moons as she clapped her hands excitedly.

Qiao Lin looked puzzled. "Miss, we have evidence now. Shouldn't we call the police and have Jiang Yan arrested?"

"No rush, let her be happy for one more day! We'll go tomorrow!" Ye Xinghe saw Jiang Yan's post on WeChat Moments early this morning that she wasn't at the store today. Going there would be pointless.

She took Zhou Yi and Qiao Lin out to eat, and left the two of them to stay in Jiangyang for a few more days.

The next day, after the three of them finished breakfast, they packed all their clothes into their suitcases. Ye Xinghe looked at the two with a mischievous grin, "Let's go, sisters! Let's get the money!"

The three arrived at the parking lot, and Qiao Lin took two suitcases out of the trunk.

Ye Xinghe said to Zhou Yi, "Qiao Lin and I will go up in a bit. You don't need to show up yet. Find a place to wait for us and wait for my news."

Zhou Yi nodded, and he and Ye Xinghe separated and entered Wanmao City.

"Hello, I want to return the goods! Find your store manager!" Qiao Lin shouted at the entrance of Jiang Yan's store.

At that moment, Jiang Dandan was tidying her clothes when she heard someone speak. She quickly turned around and asked, "Honey, what brings you here? Is something wrong?"

“My friend said to return it.” At this moment, Ye Xinghe appeared from behind Qiao Lin, which really startled Jiang Dandan! The scene of being humiliated last time was still vivid in her mind.

Jiang Dandan forced a smile at Qiao Lin, trying to appear calm. "Darling, I'm so sorry, as I told you before, we don't accept returns or exchanges for items unless there's a quality issue. It's written on your receipt too."

"We're not talking about quality issues." Ye Xinghe walked up to Qiao Lin, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at Jiang Dandan. "We're saying your shop is selling counterfeit goods. Not only do you want a full refund, but you also want triple compensation!"

Having learned from her previous experience, Jiang Dandan was terrified of Ye Xinghe, unsure what else this woman might do to her. She could only try to escape as quickly as possible and seek help from Jiang Yan.

Ye Xinghe seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a light smile, "Go find your master."

Jiang Dandan hurriedly ran to the back office and explained the situation to Jiang Yan.

When Jiang Yan heard the name Ye Xinghe, she felt a wave of dizziness. She knew she had been tricked.

"Xinghe, what brings you here?" Jiang Yan came out of the office and greeted her with a smile. "Isn't this Miss Qiao who came to buy clothes a couple of days ago? Oh, you two know each other. Come on, let's go inside to the VIP room to talk."

"Let's talk here, it's spacious." Ye Xinghe pulled Qiao Lin to sit on the sofa in the shop's main hall. "I'm not trying to be mean, Jiang Yan, but how can you call that VIP room VIP? It's not even as big as my bathroom at home."

Jiang Yan was worried that Ye Xinghe's outburst would damage the shop's reputation, so she gestured to Jiang Dandan to close the door.

"Don't close the door," Ye Xinghe quickly stopped her. "We have friends coming later, so it depends on your sincerity in solving the problem."

“Miss Qiao wants to return the goods, right? Sure, if you had just said you were Xinghe’s friend, I would have given you a refund. It’s just that the procedures are a bit complicated and will take a while. Let’s go inside and have some water.” Jiang Yan said, as she tried to pull her suitcase away, but Ye Xinghe grabbed her arm.

Ye Xinghe stared at Jiang Yan with cold, sharp eyes, and said, word by word, "It's a refund! And, triple compensation!"

At this moment, Jiang Yan was absolutely certain that Ye Xinghe had orchestrated the whole thing. But she couldn't understand why Ye Xinghe harbored such intense hatred towards her. Could it be that Jin Shasha had told her about the video?

Now that Ye Xinghe refuses to go to the VIP room, that thing can't be used. There's no other way but to take the risk and bring it outside.
