Chapter 116: Do You Dare?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Third Update – Seeking Subscription) Ye Chen looked at Chen Bin with a playful smile: “By the way, did you just say you’d give me a million if I proved it was fake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin took a deep breath: “I, Fourth Master Chen, keep my word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money will be yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the blue and white porcelain was broken, I can’t lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the antique business, credibility is everything, so no matter what, you have to swallow your pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin took a deep breath again, pretending not to care, cupped his fists to everyone, and said: “I, Chen Bin, made a fool of myself today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, young brother, for smashing this porcelain for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take this as a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, please disperse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd dispersed, and Chen Bin, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, said to Ye Chen: “Young brother, come have a cup of tea at my Tongbao Tower, so I can prepare the money for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed coldly in his heart, have tea, prepare money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t believe you’d be so kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chen nodded: “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Qian, you go back first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll have some tea and chat with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qian asked worriedly; “Can you manage by yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, don’t worry.” Ye Chen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though worried, Ye Qian had no choice but to leave when she saw Ye Chen’s nonchalant attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen entered Tongbao Tower, and the attendant at the door shut the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin’s smile instantly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you’ve got some nerve to dare smash my 30 million blue and white porcelain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen saw Chen Bin’s face change and suddenly laughed: “What, didn’t you say you’d give me a million as a reward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of going back on your word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, kid, you break my porcelain and still want a million, today I’ll take a leg from you as compensation,” Chen Bin revealed his true self with a fierce look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen suddenly laughed: “Do you dare?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen so calm and composed, Chen Bin was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid is on the verge of death and he can still laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was a pounding sound of knocking from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin frowned: “Tell the people outside, I’m not seeing anyone today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, an attendant ran in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Master, the visitor is Li Kun, the property manager of Taobao Street.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is he here?” Chen Bin was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chen Bin was strong on Taobao Street, the property manager was not someone he could offend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bunch, watch him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chen Bin nervously walked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Li, why are you here?” Chen Bin greeted with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is President Ye here with you?” Li Kun asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Ye, which President Ye?” Chen Bin was puzzled for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one who just smashed your vase is President Ye, he’s the second-largest shareholder of our Taobao Street.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Chen Bin gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other party was a major shareholder of Taobao Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he offended Ye Chen, he wouldn’t be able to work on Taobao Street anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin was about to go crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell did I offend such a big shot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you do something to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye?” Li Kun sensed something was off and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, how would I dare?” Chen Bin wiped his sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, that was close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really had acted on Ye Chen, he’d be dead today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye is in the room drinking tea.” Chen Bin said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Kun glared at Chen Bin and quickly stepped into the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Ye Chen was leisurely drinking tea in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Ye, I’m Li Kun, the property manager of Taobao Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin didn’t give you any trouble, did he?” Li Kun asked while glancing at the few burly men in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we had a nice chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin insisted on taking me as his mentor, and he’s even giving me two million as a mentorship fee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!” Chen Bin was about to go mad with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hell did I say I wanted to be your disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin knew that if Li Kun found out that he intended to harm Ye Chen, he’d be in for a rough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly said: “Yes, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye has an excellent skill in appraisal, I’m thinking of learning from Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Kun nodded: “That’s good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye is an important partner of our boss, you should know what to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin gritted his teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated Ye Chen to the core, but still couldn’t afford to offend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen left Tongbao Tower carrying two million, respectfully escorted out by Chen Bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Chen left Tongbao Tower, he didn’t leave immediately but rather sat in his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the day darkened, several cars drove out of Tongbao Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s lips curled up, seems like his gamble paid off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cars entered a mountainous area and then stopped in a valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen hid in the bushes, watching these people carry digging tools into the hollow of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, these guys were grave robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming they were robbing graves, Ye Chen quietly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, under the dark sky and high wind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already past 3 a.m., the entire city was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Land Rover drove into an abandoned factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car stopped in the yard, and a few people got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Master, this time you’re leading the operation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today was a bloody loss, lost a deal worth thirty million, that bastard Ye Chen, I’ll find a chance to kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Fourth Master, this time we have huge gains, if we liquidate these goods, it’ll be worth at least a few hundred million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin nodded: “Once this deal is over, we won’t have to live with fear for the rest of our lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a blinding light shone from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re here!” One of the men exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the attendants took out a flashlight and waved it towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all around it fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car slowly drove into the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the car stopped, a skinny young man jumped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then several others got out of the car, opened the trunk, and lifted a large box out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitedly, Chen Bin walked to the box and said: “I’ve been waiting for this batch of goods for a long time, finally I can get my hands on it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skinny young man said: “This time we robbed the Han King’s Tomb, any piece inside is worth millions, boss, we’re rich this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin nodded: “But we have to be careful transporting these goods, if the cops get wind of it, it’ll cost us our heads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, verify the goods.” Chen Bin said, motioning for someone to open the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the box were some ceramics and some ancient blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an archaeological expert saw these, they would be delighted because these treasures have great research value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, these precious artifacts fell into the hands of these grave robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin picked up a piece of porcelain, looked it over, and nodded: “This is a good piece, it can fetch millions overseas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time we dug up a Han King’s Tomb, of course the harvest is great,” said the skinny young man with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bin nodded in satisfaction, then said: “The goods are fine, load them into the car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attendant was about to put the box into the Land Rover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several strong lights turned the whole abandoned factory as bright as day!\u003C\u002Fp>",1325,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","f325c0a771dcc02b0df49f3c2d17040ef38d835d858aaad04ec81c8dd73c8ec5","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-118","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-116",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
