Chapter 411: When the Scheme Runs Out, the Dagger Shows! Pack It All Up and Take It Away!

~9 min read 1,615 words

Su Yang's point is simple: buy in bulk, and he also needs to add money.

The value of the ivory jade tiger head is not below these two items; in the hands of jade enthusiasts, it's even higher.

Fifty million and you think you can brush him off?

Su Yang has no intention of being a sucker, let alone taking a loss.

Lin Yang's anger is not unfounded; if he weren't eager to act, he'd give Huang Youcai a little color to see.

Tsk tsk tsk…

Huang Youcai examined the two treasures thoroughly, holding them carefully in his hands.

A peerless treasure…

Without exaggeration, he says the rarity of these three items tonight equals the total value of all the treasures he's seen in ten years.

Jiang Hen Zhi's collection is no joke; his eye and decisive action are far beyond what an ordinary modest family can match.

"To obtain this treasure, I have no regrets in this life," Huang Youcai said reluctantly, placing it back into the box.

"If you like it, buy it and keep it; Jin Cheng Pawnshop has plenty of money, it doesn't lack that," Su Yang said.

"Hehe, little brother overpraises me; I'm running a small business, where does such massive cash flow come from?" Huang Youcai said.

Su Yang glanced at the room's layout and said calmly, "The house layout is good; when was it built?"

"It's been thirty years…" The sentence triggered Huang Youcai's past, and he fell into recollection,

"Back then I was just a greenhorn, knew nothing; if I hadn't been fortunate to become a disciple, perhaps I wouldn't even have been able to marry."

"Did you renovate it later?" Su Yang asked again.

"Yes, the old wall plaster was almost stripped off, and we had to repaint it, but the layout remains the same; I'm like that, nostalgic," Huang Youcai explained.

"I see…" Su Yang nodded slightly, pointing at the metal object on the bottom shelf of the storage cabinet, "This should be the renovation from Ronggui Group, right?"

"Exactly. They're the largest real estate developer in Nancheng District District; their renovation strength is top-notch, so when you look for it, you definitely choose the best," Huang Youcai did not deny.

"Ronggui Group's strength is indisputable, but I'm curious… after they finished the renovation, how many years of after‑sale warranty did they give you?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

"Well…" Huang Youcai frowned, "Little brother, feel free to speak straight."

"Then I'll get straight to the point," Su Yang unbuttoned his suit jacket, looking into his eyes, "The stalker outside, that's one of their people, right?"

At that moment, Huang Youcai's pupils contracted slightly, then quickly returned.

Although it lasted only an instant, Su Yang caught it.

"Let me guess, Jin Cheng Pawnshop suffered a disaster many years ago and urgently needed massive cash flow support."

"But its foundation is still shallow, the Black Market is deep, making it hard to stand firm; at this point the only path before you is a tit for tat."

"Usually Jin Cheng Pawnshop receives the most contraband, and you accept any seller, offering higher prices than other pawnshops, on the condition that the seller provides Intelligence on the stolen property's owner."

"Spending money to buy goods and reselling at high prices while gathering Intelligence, over time forms a unique Intelligence network."

"Ronggui Group's status has risen dramatically over the years; Boss Huang's contribution is indispensable," Su Yang said.

Huang Youcai finally changed color and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

Su Yang saw his smile vanish, felt a stir, and said, "No need to wait for a lookout to investigate my identity; today I'll tell you for free."

"My surname is Su, and my given name is just the single character Yang."

"Su Yang…" Huang Youcai chewed for a moment, then his face hardened, "You're the Six Harmony Association Gang Leader?!"

"You and the people behind you must be curious why Jiang Hen Zhi's hidden goods are in my hands; such rare items, he wouldn't take them to the Black Market to sell."

"Even if destitute, there are still at least ten ways to exchange money; why lower the value yourself?"

"Boss Huang, you just said it well—heroes are not questioned for their origins, treasures are not questioned for their source."

"But now you… have broken the rules," Su Yang narrowed his eyes, a faint Cold Light flashing.

Huang Youcai had long heard of this fierce god's exploits; now seeing these eyes as cold as frost, he was suddenly flustered.

He staggered backward, waving his hands repeatedly, "Gang Leader Su, you misunderstand; we are merely curious about the current state of the Floating Life Chamber, with no intention of probing your identity."

"That line might work on a child, but his most precious item is in my hands; want to know the outcome, think with your toe."

"I must say, Boss Huang played the mind game well, deliberately quoting fifty million—neither too high nor too low—deliberately teasing my appetite and buying time."

"He purposely coaxed me to bring out the other two treasures, just to verify their origin."

"Coincidentally, when my brother opened the lid, that lookout had already left," Su Yang said.

Huang Youcai, hearing this, felt sweat beads on his forehead, his face full of disbelief.

His petty thoughts were laid bare before Su Yang, and even the ulterior motives behind them were seen clearly.

What a terrifying method!

Now he finally understands why Donghai Hall and Mingguang Building, even working together, cannot kill him.

He even used a Golden Cicada Shedding Shell trick to deceive everyone.

Lin Yang saw his still-shaken demeanor and sneered, "Old thing, how do you want to die?"

"Thump!"

Huang Youcai suddenly knelt, pleading, "Gang Leader Su, I'm just a worker; these are the boss's orders, I have no choice."

"Breaking Black Market rules isn't solved by a plea; even if we don't kill you, do you think the Black Market's higher-ups will just let it go?" Lin Yang said coldly.

"I…" Huang Youcai's face turned ashen, stammering, unable to utter a word.

Su Yang, seeing it's enough, helped him up, dusting off his back, "Alright, stop scaring him; further fright will make him pee."

"Gang Leader Su, you don't hold grudges; I, Huang, am deeply grateful!" Huang Youcai bowed repeatedly.

"When did I ever say I'd let you go?" Su Yang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Huang Youcai was startled.

"Haha, just a joke, don't be so serious," Su Yang patted his shoulder.

"Hehe, Gang Leader Su really is witty and humorous; I, Huang, can hardly stand it," Huang Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Enough idle talk; take us to see your boss, he must have many deals to discuss with us," Su Yang said.

Before Huang Youcai could agree, a brisk voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Why should Gang Leader Su lift his noble foot? With these three priceless treasures stationed here, if I don't come to your door, how could I observe proper etiquette?"

As soon as the words fell, a middle‑aged man in an elegant dark‑blue suit strode in, followed by five burly bodyguards.

He had thick brows and large eyes, dark skin, and broad palms—a look of someone who works outdoors year after year.

"Sir, you must be the Chairman of the Ronggui Group, Li Yongfeng, Li Xian Sheng, right?" Su Yang raised his hand in greeting.

"I've long heard of Gang Leader Su's reputation; now to meet you, indeed a fine talent. As the old saying goes, heroes have always emerged in youth," Li Yongfeng laughed.

Su Yang sat face‑to‑face with him, and Huang Youcai hurriedly fetched a teacup and poured tea for him.

"Enough idle talk; I'm here today with a big deal to discuss with Gang Leader Su." Li Yongfeng rinsed his mouth with tea, then opened his mouth and spat onto the floor.

"Speaking of it is no problem."

"Gladly!" Li Yongfeng untied his tie, propping his hand on his thigh, "I heard you're selling properties under Jiang Hen Zhi's name?"

"How so, Li Xian Sheng, interested in the Xicheng District market?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

"Haha, I've chased that guy at least ten times, yet he never yields. Our Ronggui Group may seem massive, but in reality we only hold a foothold in Nancheng District District." Li Yongfeng showed no concealment of his ambition.

"So you intend to use Jiang Hen Zhi's properties as a foothold?" Su Yang asked.

"Dealing with smart people is comfortable." Li Yongfeng nodded, continuing, "Fifteen properties are under my name, ten of which are in bustling commercial districts. If I can acquire them all, I will use them as a base and expand radially in all directions."

"Of course, the price will certainly satisfy you."

Su Yang did not answer outright, but observed Li Yongfeng's expression.

He stared intensely, showing no avoidance of his Desire and intent.

Such a person is either a scheming hero or a fool.

The one who can sit in this position is clearly the former.

Su Yang, at this stage, does not intend to reveal his ambition, and nodded, "The Ronggui Group has many competitors; why must I sell to you?"

He switched from defense to offense, turning the passive seller into an active stance.

"Because our financial strength is robust, and I am also very interested in antiques."

Li Yongfeng leaned forward, whispering, "If Gang Leader Su agrees, I can take all the properties, including the treasures in your Warehouse."

"Pack them together and take them away!"

"This sincerity…"

"I believe Gang Leader Su will not refuse."

"Nor will he refuse!"
