Chapter 124: Did the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple?

As the middle-aged man came up and announced his name, Lin Yang smiled.

"Are you from the Sihe Group?"

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Yao Chen thought he was scared.

He proudly said, "That's right, we are the people of the Sihe Group!"

"Are you scared?"

The middle-aged man glared at Yao Chen with a displeased look.

Yao Chen immediately shut up and stood behind him.

Lin Yang looked at the middle-aged man and asked with a smile.

"Then what do you want?"

The middle-aged man poured himself a cup of tea from the purple clay pot and took a sip.

"We are all civilized people; I don't want to fight and kill."

"Just accompany us to count the money."

"How much compensation?"

Seeing Lin Yang so straightforward, the middle-aged man chuckled.

"Since you're being so straightforward, brother, I don't need more—just give me 100,000."

"100,000? I think that's too little; it would somewhat damage your face."

Upon hearing that, Fei Biao's smile grew wider.

"Good, indeed straightforward—then how much do you say?"

Lin Yang raised his hand and gestured the number one.

"One million?"

Fei Biao felt delighted and said to Lin Yang.

"Good, I've made friends with you, this good brother."

"Too small, your vision is too small—it's one hundred million."

Upon hearing that, Yao Chen slammed the table and said.

"Do you think we're idiots? Just you can come up with a hundred million?"

Fei Biao's face also darkened, and he said to Lin Yang.

"Are you just trying to make fun of us?"

Lin Yang laughed, shook his head, and said, "Of course not; I'm just telling everyone the truth."

"If you don't believe me, I'll have someone bring a hundred million right now."

Upon hearing that, Fei Biao let out a cold laugh and said.

"Fine, then let's see if you can produce it!"

Lin Yang smiled and shouted loudly inside the room.

"Hey you, bring out a hundred million."

Not long after Lin Yang shouted, everyone turned to look.

Seeing that Fei Biao was sitting in front of Lin Yang, everyone turned away, pretending not to see.

Fei Biao's ferocity was well known; no one dared to meddle.

Just shortly after Lin Yang finished shouting, Ma Guangtao came running out, head down and drenched in sweat.

He came to Lin Yang's side, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry."

"I haven't gotten the money out yet."

Lin Yang waved his hand and said to Ma Guangtao.

"Even if you get the money, don't give it to me."

Upon hearing that, Ma Guangtao was frightened and knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Lin, give me another half hour, and I'll definitely make that guy cough up a hundred million!"

Before coming, Zhu Yeqing had told him.

"If the matter of Li Guangfa isn't handled to Lin Yang's satisfaction, even if he gets the money, he's prepared to feed him to the fish."

"As for Zhu Yeqing's methods, he naturally knows."

Upon hearing Lin Yang say that, he is extremely panicked.

Looking at the panicked Ma Guangtao, Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"When you bring the money, just give it to this guy; he says he's from your Sihe Group."

"Saying I made them lose face, demanding compensation."

Upon hearing that, Ma Guangtao immediately lifted his head to look at him.

Upon hearing that, Fei Biao and the others showed a look of contempt.

"Tch, does our Sihe Group have such cowardly people?"

As he looked toward Ma Guangtao, he happened to see Ma Guangtao lift his head.

When Fei Biao got a clear look at Ma Guangtao, he shuddered and immediately stood up.

"Manager Ma?!"

Ma Guangtao also stood up, saying with a fake smile.

"I dare not let you call me Manager Ma; I've embarrassed the Sihe Group."

"You are sir; even Mr. Lin has to compensate you—let the Sihe Group chairman's seat be yours to sit in."

Upon hearing this, Fei Biao's mind went blank; he was so frightened he knelt on the ground.

"Manager Ma, you've misunderstood; I didn't know Mr. Lin was your honored guest."

"Otherwise, how would I dare to ask for money!"

"My honored guest?"

Ma Guangtao gritted his teeth and said, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly—Mr. Lin is the chairman's honored guest!"

"Even the old chairman, upon seeing him, has to call him Mr. Lin!"

Hearing this, Fei Biao shuddered, and sweat poured down like rain.

"Mr... Mr. Lin."

Then he raised his hand and kept slapping himself.

"Mr. Lin, I was wrong!"

"It's my failure to recognize Mount Tai; please forgive me."

Lin Yang stood up and walked toward the outside of the tea house.

"I dare not forgive you; you're a big shot, and your subordinates are the ones demanding I pay compensation."

Yao Chen, kneeling on the ground, heard it and his mind went blank from fright.

His body trembled incessantly, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Manager Ma, right? Take them to a private room to settle this, don't ruin everyone's tea-drinking mood."

Yes!

Ma Guangtao gave a sinister laugh, picked up the purple clay teapot and smashed it hard onto Fei Biao's head.

"Didn't you hear Mr. Lin's words? What are you still kneeling there for!"

"Hurry up and get out to the private room!"

Fei Biao didn't dare resist and immediately followed.

Before leaving, seeing Yao Chen still kneeling, he wore a sinister smile.

"Yao Chen, what are you still doing here? Why aren't you going in?"

Yao Chen, because his limbs went limp, was half-carried into the private room by others.

Lin Yang had just left the tea house when he received a call from Huang Baoshang.

"Mr. Lin, I've found a fine piece of jade; could you come help me take a look?"

"Sure, send me the address."

After receiving the address, Lin Yang took a taxi and went over.

At a department store, as Lin Yang stepped out of the taxi, Huang Baoshang, wearing a pink long dress, ran over to him.

"Mr. Lin, you've finally arrived."

"Where is the jade you mentioned?"

"It's in a shop inside the building; it looks decent, but I can't decide, so I'd like your opinion."

The two chatted as they arrived at the department store's entrance.

"Baoshang, is this the Mr. Lin you mentioned? He looks about our age—really as formidable as you said?"

Huang Baoshang glanced at the woman and snorted.

"Tingting, Mr. Lin is a true expert with genuine skill; you're not allowed to speak of him like that."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingting teased.

"Baoshang, I've never seen you protect a man like this—could he be your boyfriend?"

Huang Baoshang's cheeks flushed, and she angrily retorted.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The woman beside them, wearing heavy makeup, light clothing, and a rose tattoo on her chest, said.

"Tingting, don't spout nonsense; Baoshang will someday be associated with the Young Master Dai."

"You said it, right? Young Master Dai."

Dai Kangyong beside them said nothing, merely turning his gaze toward Lin Yang.

Upon hearing this, Huang Baoshang's face darkened with displeasure.

"Hu Die, don't spout nonsense; we have no relation."

The woman called Hu Die smiled indifferently and looked at Dai Kangyong beside her.

Dai Kangyong then walked up to Lin Yang, extended his hand, and showed a warm smile.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what car you drive, yet you had Baoshang come pick you up."

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "I took a taxi; she was probably worried I'd get lost."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, several people were somewhat surprised, each with different expressions.

Hu Die said to Lin Yang, "Has your car gone in for maintenance?"

"I don't have a car."

Upon hearing this, Dai Kangyong's mouth corners twitched slightly upward.
