Chapter 47: Going to the Antique Shop

Seeing Huang Baoshang's reaction, Lin Yang frowned and said.

As long as I'm here, speak slowly about what happened.

Seeing Huang Baoshang still silent, Lin Yang kept his finger on her brow.

A gentle stream of spiritual power slowly seeped into her mind.

Soon, Huang Baoshang finally calmed down.

Lin Yang withdrew his finger and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Huang Baoshang exhaled and, still frightened, said:

"Not long after you left, black aura suddenly appeared on my father's face, as if worms were crawling."

"Then, a large vehicle suddenly lost control and rushed toward us."

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Peace Talisman you gave took effect."

Saying this, she took out the Peace Talisman Lin Yang had given her earlier.

The Peace Talisman in Huang Baoshang's hand had burned down to just a corner.

"Come, let's go see your father."

Entering the ward, Huang Tiancheng slowly woke up.

As soon as he woke, he looked around, recalling what had happened before the car accident, and sat up in fright.

"Am I still alive?!"

Looking at the still-frightened Huang Tiancheng, Lin Yang spoke softly.

"Consider yourself lucky; the Peace Talisman blocked a calamity for you, otherwise you'd already have reported to the Hall of King Yama."

Huang Tiancheng heard this, furrowed his brows, and still didn't quite believe it.

"Dad, it's true; before the incident I saw your complexion full of black aura, just like worms crawling."

Seeing Huang Tiancheng still silent, Huang Baoshang anxiously produced the Peace Talisman that was left with only a corner.

"We were both saved by the Peace Talisman!"

Seeing Huang Baoshang's Peace Talisman, Huang Tiancheng instinctively reached into his own pocket.

As soon as he took it out, the Peace Talisman he had taken out was nothing but burnt ash.

"Mr. Huang, you are entangled by a yin entity; you had better answer my questions truthfully, otherwise I won't know when you might die an unnatural death."

Huang Tiancheng's complexion changed, and he said.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask? Tiancheng will tell you everything I know."

"I ask you, after your serious illness, have you come into contact with any jade, whether you bought it or it was given to you?"

Huang Tiancheng pondered and said, "I haven't bought any jade, but someone did give me jade."

"Who?"

"It's the boss of the antique shop, Zhu; though we have no grudge, he shouldn't harm me."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something.

"It must be Jiang Tianfei; the last time he proposed to the Bao Chang, I rejected him, so he surely bears a grudge!"

"The Jiang family?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang's lips curled into a slight arc.

"Is it the Jiang family among the Four Great First-rate Family Heads?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, do you know them?"

Lin Yang's eyes were deep, and he said lightly.

"Although we've never met, we can still consider ourselves acquainted."

Jiang, Shen, Han, Yang—the Four Great Families—were among the accomplices six years ago.

After that incident, the four families received a surge of support and rose to become first-tier families.

Since there's an opportunity to meet the Four Great Families, Lin Yang naturally won't let it pass.

"Boss Huang, I'll handle this matter."

Before leaving, he took out two Peace Talismans and handed them to him.

"Hang one around your neck, keep the other on your person, and then wait quietly."

"Remember, don't go anywhere before I return."

Hearing this, Huang Tiancheng nodded repeatedly.

When Lin Yang walked out of the room, Huang Baoshang followed as well.

"Take me to find that Boss Zhu."

Hearing that, Huang Baoshang's heart leapt with joy, and she immediately followed Lin Yang out of the hospital.

The antique shop opened by Boss Zhu is named Gu Bao Zhai, and it is popular among local antique enthusiasts in the southwest.

When the two of them arrived, Lin Yang opened his eyes, and his pupils glowed with a faint gold.

This is the Heavenly Eye Divine Pupil recorded in the cultivation technique obtained from ancient jade, able to see through the essence of things.

"Isn't this Miss Huang? Why do you have time to come and laugh?"

As Huang Baoshang and Lin Yang entered, a man with an eight-character beard walked up to them, laughing and asking.

Seeing the visitors, Huang Baoshang said, "He is the owner of this shop, Zhu Kejian."

Seeing the esteemed young lady of the Huang family beside Lin Yang, his eyes shifted, and he looked at Lin Yang and asked.

"I don't know who this is..."

"My name is Lin Yang. I came here today for two things: first, to take back the jade you gave to Boss Huang."

Upon hearing Lin Yang mention the jade, Zhu Kejian's heart jumped.

That jade stone hides a killing intent; how dare he take it back.

He shook his head and said, "I, Zhu Kejian, give things to people—how could there be any reason to take them back? Isn't that just slapping oneself in the face?"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Then I will personally see you slap yourself in the face."

Zhu Kejian's expression changed, and he sized up Lin Yang from head to toe.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Yang say.

The second matter is to call forth the Jiang Tianfei behind you.

Upon hearing that, Zhu Kejian let out a proud, cold laugh.

"Do you know who Young Master Jiang is? You think you can see him just because you want to?!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and three bodyguards rushed out.

"My Antique Shop only receives customers; people like you who stir up trouble, my Antique Shop will not entertain!"

"Come, escort them out!"

These words were spoken very politely, but everyone knows that this is just a way to drive them out.

"Wait, you said your Antique Shop only receives customers—can't we come to browse antiques?"

Upon hearing that, Zhu Kejian let out a cold laugh and said.

"Sure, but my antiques aren't cheap—I don't know if you can afford them."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang produced a check for fifty million given by the Shen family.

"Is this fifty million enough?"

Looking at the fifty million, Zhu Kejian's eyes turned red.

"Enough—what do you want to buy?"

When Lin Yang produced the fifty million, many people came over to look.

At that moment, Lin Yang's pupils flashed with a golden light as he scanned the antiques.

He pointed to a piece of calligraphy and painting and said with a smile.

"First, hand over that calligraphy and painting to me."

Looking at that calligraphy and painting, Zhu Kejian felt delighted, then told his subordinates.

"Go, fetch the calligraphy and painting."

After taking it down, they handed it to Lin Yang.

"Sir, this calligraphy and painting costs five hundred thousand; you'd better think it over."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang took out his card and said.

"Just swipe this card."

After the card swipe succeeded, Zhu Kejian burst out laughing.

"Boss Lin, what else do you want to buy?"

Seeing him laugh so arrogantly, Lin Yang asked with a smile.

"You think I bought a fake with my fifty thousand, right?"

Zhu Kejian restrained his smile and said cheerfully.

"I never said that, Mr. Lin's vision is extraordinary—naturally we can't compare."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang walked over to a piece of porcelain.

"How much for this porcelain? I'll take it."

"Two hundred thousand."

Not long after, Lin Yang had selected five antiques, and Zhu Kejian's smile grew even more prosperous.

Everyone looked at the antiques Lin Yang had picked out and furrowed their brows.

Some of these items are obviously fakes at a glance—how could this clueless youth have bought them?

While everyone was waiting to see a joke, Lin Yang suddenly spoke up.

"Boss Zhu, you think I bought some junk? How about I authenticate them in front of you?"

Upon hearing that, Zhu Kejian gave a proud smile.

"First, let's be clear: even if they're fakes, it's cash on delivery, no returns."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang laughed and said, "Exactly—cash on delivery is what we want."

Looking at Lin Yang's smile, Zhu Kejian felt an inexplicable unease.
