Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chen Tang gave Lin Chuxue a slight smile, “It’s okay, Chuxue, as long as you don’t look down on me, that’s all that matters!”
As for the gazes of others, Chen Tang didn’t care!
If Chen Tang wished, with just one word, none of the people present would be able to escape.
Moreover, Chen Tang had quickly glanced through the information Elder Pang had sent, including Lin Chuxue’s Second Uncle Lin Zhong, Third Uncle Lin Cheng, Aunt Zhang Lan, eldest uncle, second uncle, Lin Feng…
Not one of them had clean hands!
And the damning information provided by Elder Pang was lethal.
Each piece had enough weight to keep them behind bars for life!
To deal with these people, all Chen Tang needed to do was to speak up.
After everyone had nearly said their piece, Chen Tang finally began to speak slowly, “Have you all finished talking?
If it weren’t for Chuxue’s and Grandfather’s sake, you would have died over and over again by now!”
Chen Tang was very clear that he wasn’t boasting.
Yesterday, at the KTV, Chen Tang had only called for D-Level Martial Force support, and who should arrive but Liu Tianxiong, one of the two greatest powerhouses of Yun City.
Such a colossus was not someone the Lin Family Clan could afford to provoke.
Let alone, there were levels above D-Level, such as C-Level and B-Level support.
However, Lin Feng and the others were clueless about Chen Tang’s true background, “Chen Tang, you piece of trash picked from a garbage heap, why do you still act so arrogant at this time?
Don’t you see?
This is the collective opinion of the Lin Family Clan; we don’t welcome you, and stop shamelessly clinging to my sister…
Take your broken earrings and get lost…”
As he spoke, Lin Feng threw the earrings onto the hall floor.
The earrings bounced twice on the ground and slid towards the entrance without any damage.
“Someone, throw him out!” Lin Feng shouted towards the entrance, intending to have the bodyguards take action.
But as soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, an old man with white hair and a beard entered, leaning on a cane, and a booming voice filled the hall, “The youngsters of the Lin Family are getting ruder by the day.
The old man just got here and you want to throw me out?”
As the old man spoke, he casually picked up the earrings near his feet, glanced at them, and rubbed them with his fingers.
A flash of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
He looked down at the earrings intently again, and his expression suddenly changed dramatically…
In the meantime, the grandmother who had been sitting at the head of the table the whole time quickly got up to greet the old man when she saw him, “Elder Gu, look at you, coming all the way here in person, please come inside!”
Lin Feng also hurriedly spoke, “Elder Gu, don’t be annoyed, what I said just now wasn’t about you!”
Elder Gu, whose real name was Gu Zhenshan, appeared scholarly and genteel, but in reality, he was a leading authority in the antique world.
Within the entire Huaya, no one dared to claim they were better than Elder Gu when it came to the appraisal of antiques and paintings.
Elder Gu had an excellent network within the Huaya People, receiving reception by big shots wherever he went.
Even in Yanjing, many powerful figures were acquainted with Elder Gu.
The Lin Family Clan, naturally, could not afford to offend such a respected figure.
The reason Elder Gu had come to pay his respects was solely because of the good personal relationship that the Old Master Lin had with him when he was alive.
Gu Zhenshan, standing at the entrance, looked at the blood-red earrings in his hand, increasingly shocked.
Eventually, he even took out a magnifying glass and observed them intently for quite some time, paying no mind to Lin Feng and the grandmother’s words.
After several dozens of seconds had passed, Gu Zhenshan finally turned to the grandmother with a face full of joy, “Big sister, where did these earrings come from?
How could they just be thrown on the floor like this?”
Seeing Gu Zhenshan’s actions, Lin Feng and the grandmother actually felt a bit uneasy.
Gu Zhenshan’s commitment to antiques was not for show; since he had spent so long looking at the earrings, it meant they were probably not that simple.
The grandmother glanced at Lin Feng, who, with a stiff expression, said, “Elder Gu, these earrings are flea market goods that our Lin Family’s worthless son-in-law bought from a street stall.
We’re embarrassed for you to see this!” After a pause, Lin Feng glared fiercely at Chen Tang, “Get lost!”
But Elder Gu, with a smile on his face, held the earrings seriously in his hand and said lightly to Lin Feng, “Flea market goods?
Humph, has the Lin Family’s offspring become so incompetent that they don’t even recognize Chicken Blood Stone?”
The sudden reprimand from Lin Feng to remove someone, although not directed at Elder Gu, had still occurred just as Elder Gu appeared, which mildly displeased him.
So, with an indifferent tone, he contested Lin Feng, “Elder Gu…
this is Chicken Blood Stone, you couldn’t have mistaken it, could you?” Although Lin Feng felt uncomfortable, he didn’t dare to act out against Gu Zhenshan and could only silently endure.
As soon as the words “Chicken Blood Stone” were spoken, there was an immediate uproar among those present.
While not everyone was in the jade industry, they roughly knew the value of a piece of Chicken Blood Stone – worth at least ten million.
Not to mention, if it was crafted into a pair of earrings, its value would double.
Chen Tang actually managed to get his hands on such a treasure?
When Lin Feng questioned Gu Zhenshan, Gu narrowed his eyes at Lin Feng and said, “Are you blind, or am I blind?
Are you questioning my judgment?”
Gu Zhenshan had been in the business for fifty years and had never been wrong.
Throughout the entire Huaya, no one dared to question Gu Zhenshan’s eye for antiques.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that in Huaya, if Gu Zhenshan declared an antique genuine, even if it were fake, it would be believed as real.
Conversely, if something was fake but Gu Zhenshan claimed it to be genuine, then the fake would be taken as genuine.
“Shut up, when your elders are speaking, it’s not your place to interject!” Sensing that something was amiss, Grandma quickly scolded Lin Feng and warmly invited Gu Zhenshan, “Elder Gu, please come inside, my stupid grandson doesn’t know any better, don’t take it to heart!”
Gu Zhenshan took a couple of steps forward and waved his hand dismissively at Grandma, “I’m not that petty!”
Gu Zhenshan stopped in front of Chen Tang and said with a smile, “Young Chen, you are really generous.
This pair of Chicken Blood Stone Earrings is worth at least thirty million.
You say it’s a gift, and you just give it away like that?”
Hiss!
As Gu Zhenshan’s words fell, everyone present couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air!
Thirty million?
Has he gone mad?
Chen Tang indeed lied and deceived!
Earlier, Chen Tang claimed the earrings were worth hundreds of thousands, but now Elder Gu directly said they were worth thirty million.
That’s an increase in value by hundreds of times.
Chen Tang touched his nose and gave Elder Gu a slight smile, “It’s only right for a junior to honor his elders!” In truth, Chen Tang was also surprised; it seemed Liu Tianxiong had still hidden their value.
Lin Chuxue standing beside Chen Tang was also shocked – thirty million!
That’s not thirty thousand, nor just three hundred thousand!
Chen Tang had just arranged for a “classmate” to invest thirty million into the company, and now he produced earrings worth another thirty million.
Lin Chuxue felt she understood Chen Tang less and less.
Elder Gu nodded and shook the earrings in front of him, smiling at Grandma, “Big sister, you have a good grandson-in-law, you’re lucky, eh!” He paused before continuing to Chen Tang, “However, Young Chen, as far as I know, there is only one pair of Chicken Blood Stone Earrings in the Southwest Region, which should belong to Liu Tianxiong of the Liu Family Auction.
How did it end up in your hands?”
As he uttered the last sentence, Gu Zhenshan’s gaze became sharp.
The Chicken Blood Stone Earrings valued at thirty million had caused quite a stir when they were auctioned off at the Huaya Antique Exchange.
Everyone knew the Chicken Blood Stone Earrings belonged to Liu Tianxiong, a bigwig from Yun City!
But now they appeared in Chen Tang’s possession.
This matter had to be clarified.
Otherwise, it would spell big trouble for the Lin Family!
Upon hearing the name Liu Tianxiong, Lin Chuxue’s pupils involuntarily contracted.
Chen Tang had said yesterday that he got the earrings from a friend.
Could it be that Liu Tianxiong was Chen Tang’s friend?
Liu Tianxiong was someone even the Lin Family found difficult to approach, so when did Chen Tang form a connection with Liu Tianxiong?
As soon as Elder Gu finished speaking, Lin Feng quickly caught on.
His expression instantly turned incredibly animated, “I knew it, how could a good-for-nothing deserve such a treasure?
He must have stolen it!
Definitely stolen…
This disaster, it could cause great calamity for the Lin Family…
Grandma, I suggest we immediately expel Chen Tang from the Lin Family…”
