Chapter 49: Arrogant Jiang Tianfei

Zhu Kejian gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Yang after hanging up the phone.

"Young Master Jiang will be here in half an hour!"

"I also had someone fetch that piece of jade; are you satisfied now?"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have lost so much."

Zhu Kejian clenched his fists in anger!

Even experts like Gu Zhongjie who come here to buy antiques sometimes miss a fake.

Sometimes, finding just one bargain among five items is already good; otherwise, how could it be called picking up a bargain?

Lin Yang, on the other hand, buys genuine items as easily as restocking.

Every purchase is a sure thing, and they're all bought for a small price yet worth a fortune.

This made him somewhat afraid of Lin Yang's eyes, and he even wished he could take Lin Yang's eyes for himself.

Someone in the crowd asked, "Lord of Bargains, can you still help us get rich?"

"If something valuable comes up, we're willing to split it fifty-fifty with you!"

Now Zhu Kejian's face turned completely dark.

He said in a low voice, "Everyone, sorry, today's business ends here."

"After this, I have some private matters to attend to with this young brother; please leave, everyone."

The crowd ignored Zhu Kejian and turned their gaze toward Lin Yang.

All they saw was Lin Yang nodding and saying to everyone.

"Indeed, I have some private matters; next time I come I'll definitely invite you all."

Upon hearing this, the crowd laughed and left.

Gu Zhongjie and Luo Tian from the crowd walked up to Lin Yang and left a business card.

"Young brother, we can see you've studied antiques deeply; let's chat if we get the chance."

Lin Yang put away the card and laughed as he said.

"If the chance arises, I'll definitely come to you for advice."

Finally, aside from Lin Yang and Huang Baoshang, all the other customers had left the Antique Shop.

Zhu Kejian immediately gave his subordinate a look, signaling him to close the door.

"Are you Lin Yang, young brother? Young Master Jiang will be here shortly; please wait upstairs on the second floor."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Then thank you for your kindness, Boss Zhu."

After sitting upstairs, Zhu Kejian had just taken his seat when Huang Baoshang immediately confronted him.

"Boss Zhu, my father has always treated you well; why did you give him jade that harmed my father?"

Seeing Huang Baoshang's furious expression, Zhu Kejian immediately denied it.

"Baoshang, I'm like brothers with your father; how could I harm him? It must be a coincidence!"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Then why didn't you take it back when I asked you to?"

Zhu Kejian gave an embarrassed smile and said, "There's no reason to ask for something back after giving it away."

"I think you're guilty as a thief."

Zhu Kejian stopped responding and instead lifted his tea to take a sip.

Seeing him like that, Huang Baoshang gritted her teeth in anger.

Not long after, a sound came from downstairs.

"Old Zhu, what's going on? Who exactly is that surnamed Lin?"

"He even demanded to see me by name!"

The voice drew nearer; at the stairwell entrance, a man wearing a short-sleeve shirt and with a rooster‑comb haircut appeared.

Upon seeing the man, Zhu Kejian immediately stood up, his face showing delight.

"Young Master Jiang, you've finally arrived."

He immediately went up to him and whispered a few words in Jiang Tianfei's ear.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Tianfei turned his gaze toward Lin Yang.

As he walked toward Lin Yang, a tall, big‑built man came up from downstairs.

The man who came up was very muscular, with a dragon tattoo crossing his shoulder, giving ordinary people a great sense of oppression.

But Lin Yang sat quietly in his seat, a smile on his face.

Jiang Tianfei walked up to him, looked down, and asked.

"Is it you, kid, who's been looking for me?"

After glancing at Jiang Tianfei, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"It's me."

Jiang Tianfei lit a cigarette, took a hard drag, and opened his mouth to blow the smoke at Lin Yang.

"I don't like the smell of smoke; suck it back in."

After saying that, he pointed a finger at Jiang Tianfei's chest; the smoke Jiang Tianfei hadn't yet exhaled was completely sucked back in, making him cough violently.

The tall, muscular man with the shoulder‑crossing dragon tattoo standing behind him shouted and threw a punch at Lin Yang.

Huang Baoshang, seeing this, cried out in fright.

"Lin Yang, be careful!"

Before the punch could land, Lin Yang blocked it with a single finger.

"With such puny strength, you dare to be a bodyguard?"

The big man saw Lin Yang block his hand with just one finger and stared wide‑eyed in shock.

Before he could regain his senses, Lin Yang flicked his finger, sending him flying backwards.

The first time Huang Baoshang saw Lin Yang make a move, she was so shocked her mouth hung open.

Jiang Tianfei, who had finally come to his senses, glared at Lin Yang viciously.

"You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"

Lin Yang smiled, raised his hand and delivered One Slap.

"I know."

This slap twisted Jiang Tianfei's face.

"Even my father has never hit me like this!"

"I'm not your father, don't try to claim a relation."

Huang Baoshang snorted with a laugh, causing Jiang Tianfei to look at her.

The moment he saw Huang Baoshang, Jiang Tianfei seemed to understand something.

"Baoshang, is this person someone you invited?"

"Even if you don't like me, you don't need to find someone to humiliate me!"

Huang Baoshang, hearing this, immediately became anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense; it's clearly you who wants to deal with my father!"

"How would I deal with your father? Baoshang, you must have been bewitched by him!"

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Lin Yang and said.

"You must be saying that on purpose just to get close to Baoshang."

Hearing that, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"I had Boss Zhu call you here; one matter concerns the Huang family, another concerns me—you won't escape today no matter how eloquently you speak."

Although Lin Yang was smiling, Jiang Tianfei felt a chill from him.

Just then, someone came up from downstairs.

"Boss Zhu, the jade has been retrieved!"

Zhu Kejian, hearing this, his face changed and he was about to put the jade away.

Lin Yang reached out from afar, and the jade stone flew straight into his hand.

He looked at the jade stone in his hand and gave a cold snort.

"Heretical arts, they placed a soul‑summoning curse on the jade; whoever possesses the jade will die in an accident within three days."

Huang Baoshang's face changed upon hearing this, and she looked at Zhu Kejian.

"Boss Zhu, my father has treated you well; why are you doing this to my father?"

Zhu Kejian's face changed, and he looked pleadingly at Jiang Tianfei.

Jiang Tianfei caught his gaze, snorted coldly, and said to Lin Yang.

"Nonsense, what era is this? Still talking about a soul‑summoning curse—this is just an ordinary piece of jade!"

Hearing that, Lin Yang picked up the jade stone, pinched it, and it shattered on the spot.

From within the jade stone, a sharp scream rang out; a blackish yin energy visible to the naked eye appeared and then dissipated.

"Now, am I still talking nonsense?"

Zhu Kejian, seeing this, trembled with fear and pointed at Jiang Tianfei, shouting.

"It was Young Master Jiang who, after his failed marriage proposal, held a grudge and deliberately had me send this; Miss Huang, spare my life!"

He could not afford to offend the Huang family's power, so at this point he could only protect himself by giving up Jiang Tianfei.

Huang Baoshang glared at Jiang Tianfei, gritting her teeth.

At this moment, Jiang Tianfei showed no fear whatsoever.

He calmly took a puff of smoke and looked at Lin Yang.

"So what if it's me? I'm the eldest son of the Jiang family—do you still dare to kill me?"

Saying that, he gave Lin Yang a provocative smile.
