The three of them were interrupted by the commotion. When they walked out, they found the atmosphere in the hall was heavy. A few shop assistants were on guard while Old Wei stood in front of a middle-aged man with a red face.
This man was tall, with thick eyebrows and a resolute face. He exuded an aura that made one's heart palpitate.
"Old Wei, I came here because I trusted you. But now that something like this has happened, my wife's life is in danger. Do you think I should tear down your shop?" The man said in a deep voice. His voice was magnetic, but it didn't lose its dignity. There was even a hint of suppressed anger.
Old Wei hesitated for a long time before he said, "I also don't know why this happened. Could it be that your wife fell ill because of some other reason?"
The man snorted and said, "I've invited the best doctors in the country, but they couldn't find a single clue. This means that this isn't a medical problem. It can only be something else. Moreover, she only had a relapse the day after I gave her the blood jade. If it wasn't because of the blood jade, what else could it be?"
"Mr. Qin, the blood jade doesn't have such side effects." Old Wei explained patiently.
"Is that so? But why did I hear that the blood jade is formed by absorbing fresh blood? It's not an auspicious item? Why didn't you tell me this when I bought it? If not, why would I choose a blood jade to give to my wife? "The man said angrily.
"That's all nonsense. The bloody color in the Blood Jade is the result of the iron element, not blood."
"Hmph, that's just your one-sided story. I, Qin Batian, don't like to bully others, but you've caused my wife's life to be in danger. Today, I have no choice but to be the bad guy." Qin Batian's face sank as he was about to make a move.
Old Wei was so frightened that his legs went soft. Although he was famous in the antique industry, he didn't have any chance to retaliate against the person before him.
The antique industry was filled with people from all walks of life. Thus, Old Wei understood the person before him very well. The other party was a true ferocious person.
He came to Beijing alone more than ten years ago. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Beijing, but he relied on his own ability to make a name for himself.
He was a person of the underworld and was a well-known figure in the underworld of the capital. However, he had gradually retired from the underworld in recent years. Instead, he had turned to business and was doing very well.
He was a legend, but there was another thing about him that people loved to talk about, and that was the relationship between him and his wife.
Qin Batian wasn't as fickle as other people in the underworld. On the contrary, he was extremely devoted and was extremely protective of his wife. He was an extremely good man.
This time, his wife's life was actually in danger. One could imagine how intense the anger in his heart was.
"Stop!" Qi Shaowen was enraged when he saw his old friend being threatened. He had always been in the ivory tower and did not know who Qin Batian was, so he stepped forward without fear.
Seeing this, Old Wei hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Qin, a man is responsible for his own actions. This is my friend, please don't make things difficult for him. If you really think that your wife's illness is related to the Blood Jade I sold, then I have nothing to say. I can only let you do whatever you want with me. "
Qi Shaowen bellowed, "Old Wei, have you gone senile? The legends about the Blood Jade were all lies and lies. What era are we in now? Why do people still believe in such nonsense? "
Qin Batian didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he glanced at Qi Shaowen and said, "Old man, there are many things in this world that you don't know. Science can't explain everything. Some things are far more mysterious than you can imagine. You may think that the Blood Jade isn't the cause, but I believe that the Blood Jade is."
"If you dare hurt him, I'll call the police." Qi Shaowen refused to budge.
"Don't call the police." Old Wei hurriedly shouted. "Sigh, Old Qi, you guys should go back first. I'll deal with this myself."
But his face was ashen. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he couldn't deal with this.
Tang Zheng roughly understood the whole story. This shop had sold a piece of Blood Jade to Qin Batian, which had caused his wife's life to be in danger.
Tang Zheng didn't immediately deny Qin Batian's judgment. After all, he was a cultivator and knew very well that there were many mysterious things in this world. Moreover, didn't he just absorb spiritual energy from a few antiques?
Hence, some antiques had unimaginable uses and dangers.
Tang Zheng took a step forward, standing protectively in front of Qi Shaowen and Old Wei. He looked at Qin Batian and said, "Mister, if you have something to say, let's talk it over. It's not right to attack an old man."
Qin Batian's eyes narrowed as he stared at Tang Zheng. He asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"He's my student, my disciple." Qi Shaowen said impatiently.
Qin Batian's eyes flashed like lightning. He saw that Tang Zheng was as calm as an abyss. He didn't show the slightest hint of fear in the face of Qin Batian's imposing aura. On the contrary, the aura Tang Zheng was exuding was not to be underestimated.
"Mister Qin, this matter has nothing to do with Tang Zheng. He's still a student, please don't lower yourself to his level." Old Wei saw that Tang Zheng had stepped forward bravely and hurriedly said. He was both moved and anxious.
"Tang Zheng!" Qin Batian exclaimed. His gaze turned complicated as he asked suspiciously, "You're Tang Zheng from Yenching University?"
Huh?
Tang Zheng was stunned. Qin Batian had actually heard of his name before. Qi Shaowen and Old Wei were also surprised. Could it be that Tang Zheng was very famous? Even this person knew of him.
"That's me." Tang Zheng admitted.
Qin Batian said, "I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. I've heard many things about you. My wife has also mentioned you before. You've even met once. But since you're here, I'll wait for three days. If my wife's condition doesn't improve, I'll really tear down the Imperial Treasury. "
The two old men were shocked. They didn't expect that the murderous Qin Batian would take the initiative to compromise after hearing Tang Zheng's name.
Old Wei looked at Tang Zheng suspiciously. He couldn't see through him anymore. He asked in a low voice, "Old Qi, what's the background of this disciple of yours?"
Qi Shaowen shook his head in confusion. He didn't know much about Tang Zheng. He also didn't know that just his name alone would have such a huge impact.
"Heh, it seems that the disciple I've accepted this time is not simple."
Tang Zheng guessed. He was now infamous in the upper echelons of the Capital. He didn't even give face to the Chu clan. Moreover, he had a mysterious master behind him. He was also the future son-in-law of the Yeh family. No one would dare to underestimate him.
This also showed that Qin Batian wasn't an ordinary person.
However, he was curious about Qin Batian's wife. He didn't know when he had met her, so he asked, "May I know who your wife is?"
"Li Hongqing." Qin Batian said.
"It's her!" Tang Zheng suddenly realized. Wasn't Li Hongqing the private restaurant they had gone to for their dormitory party?
Tang Zheng and Chu Shaofeng had gotten into a conflict there. Li Hongqing had even given them a free meal.
Li Hongqing was an ordinary person, but the person in front of him was definitely not ordinary. He was a true master. A master that even Tang Zheng couldn't see through.
No wonder Li Hongqing dared to embarrass Chu Shaofeng. It turned out that her husband was not simple. Hearing that Li Hongqing's life was in danger and that it was related to antiques, Tang Zheng's interest was piqued. "I don't know if it's possible for me to pay your wife a visit. I know a little about medicine. I'd like to see if I can help."
Qin Batian's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the rumor that the King Of Medicine had once wanted to accept Tang Zheng as his disciple. It was also said that Tang Zheng's master was also a master of medicine. It was very likely that Tang Zheng's medical skills were also very good. Perhaps there really was a chance for Li Hongqing to survive.
Qin Batian thanked him sincerely. "Thank you very much. With your help, perhaps Hongqing really does have a chance."
Qi Shaowen and Old Wei were dumbfounded. Did this kid know medicine as well? He wasn't a medical student. He was an archeologist.
But judging from Qin Batian's attitude, it was obvious that he trusted Tang Zheng's abilities. Old Wei couldn't help but sigh. "Old Qi, this disciple of yours isn't simple. If it weren't for him today, this shop of mine really would have closed down."
Qi Shaowen patted his old friend's shoulder and chuckled. "Now you know that my disciple has made the right choice."
"Then there's no time to lose. Let's go now." Tang Zheng said.
"Tang Zheng, I'll go with you. I also want to see what's going on with that Blood Jade." Old Wei said.
"I'll go too. I've been an archeologist for so many years, but I've never heard of anything like this. I want to see if it's true or not." Qi Shaowen still didn't believe that this was all because of a single Blood Jade.
Li Xiaotian and Tang Zheng naturally didn't leave each other's side. Qin Batian looked at Li Xiaotian thoughtfully and agreed to their request. The group got into a car and sped towards the Qin residence.
As soon as they entered the house, they heard a servant yelling, "Oh no, something happened to Madam. Madam has gone crazy. She wants to kill someone."
Qin Batian's face darkened. He shouted angrily, "What happened to Madam?"
Seeing that the master of the house had returned, the servant said in a daze, "Madam suddenly woke up. Then she seemed to have gone crazy. She scratched and scratched everyone she saw. It was as if she wanted to kill someone."
As she spoke, she raised her arm. Indeed, there were a few scratch marks on it.
Qin Batian's expression changed. He couldn't care less about the guests and rushed into the house. Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian didn't want to be left behind. They quickly chased after him.
A piercing scream rang out. This was Li Hongqing's voice. Tang Zheng found it familiar, but this shrill scream was completely different from the one he saw at the private restaurant.
Bang!
There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Then, a figure rushed out. There was a flash of cold light. She held a kitchen knife in her hand and waved it in front of her face. Intermittent screams came from her mouth.
In addition, her hair was disheveled and her face was strangely red. There was also a blood-red peace buckle hanging on her chest. It must be the Blood Jade.
