Ye Chen looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man walking over arrogantly from two meters away.
The young man had a handsome face, but he did not look well. He wore an Armani casual T-shirt with a pear yellow bead bracelet hanging on his left wrist. There was a dark green jade ring on his thumb.
The most eye-catching thing about him was the big, long, gold chain on his chest.
There was a golden longevity lock at the end of the big gold chain.
Meanwhile, there were three to five lackeys following behind the young man. They looked submissive and were in cahoots with each other. From afar, they looked like thugs going on patrol.
"Oh my, isn't this Master Gu? It's been a few days since I've seen you. "Chen Houzi was elated. He jogged to greet him immediately, smiling so widely that his face looked like a chrysanthemum.
Young Master Gu grunted and said impatiently, "Chen Houzi, don't play dumb with me. Hurry up and give me that thing. I want it."
"But …"
Chen Houzi looked at Ye Chen next to him and said with a troubled expression, "Master Gu, I've sold … sold that thing to this brother."
Chen Houzi knew the person in front of him very well. Not only was he rich, but he also liked to collect trinkets, especially those strange things that others could not name.
Master Gu only looked at Ye Chen then. After taking a good look at him, he then looked at the plastic bag in Chen Houzi's hand. He said in slight disdain, "You haven't given me the thing, have you? How much did you sell it for? " “
He observed the black lump through the transparent plastic bag as he spoke. He said while squinting, "What's this? It's dry and numb. It's not round at all. I really want to eat it! "
"200 yuan. I risked my life to get this from the Mount Tai wonder …" Chen Houzi wanted to repeat what he said earlier by instinct.
Slap!
He was slapped on the face before he was done speaking. "Speak like a human!"
Chen Houzi's expression froze, and he was completely honest now. He said to Ye Chen, "Master Gu, to be honest, I found this in the village a few days ago. I've no idea what it is. Even the manager of the Precious Treasure Pavilion can't recognize it."
He glanced at Ye Chen next to him guiltily after saying that. However, Ye Chen remained expressionless as if he did not hear anything.
"Not bad, not bad. I like things that experts like you can't even recognize. How about this? I'll take the 1,000 yuan. I'll study it when I get back," Master Gu said while rubbing his chin. He did not take Ye Chen seriously at all.
Chen Houzi's eyes turned green. He turned his head and said to Ye Chen while grinning, "Brother, I'm sorry. Master Gu is more of a pervert, so hehe …"
One thousand yuan?
It was five times more than the previous price, which was equivalent to half a month's income.
Ye Chen said expressionlessly, "Boss Chen, are you saying that you can go back on your word and sell what belongs to me to him because he's paying more than me?"
"Hehe, I'm really sorry …" Chen Houzi rubbed his palms and smiled awkwardly.
In reality, there was something that he did not say. Ye Chen looked like someone without a powerful background, but any smart person would not offend Master Gu for him.
Master Gu, who was standing aside, was getting impatient. "Chen Houzi, what the f * ck are you waiting for? Give it to me now."
Chen Houzi nodded and was going to pass the bag to Master Gu.
"Wait!"
An emotionless voice came. Chen Houzi turned his head to look by instinct. However, he saw Ye Chen grinning at him. "Chen Houzi, do you still want to follow the rules?"
Ye Chen's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it gave Chen Houzi an invisible mental deterrent. He gulped and looked at Master Gu with a troubled expression. "Master Gu, what do you think about this?"
The smile on Master Gu's face froze as he glared coldly at Ye Chen.
"Country bumpkin, do you want to go against me, Gu Shaokun? I'm not afraid to tell you that you're nothing to me. I'm richer than you, more powerful than you, and I have more people than you do!
My words are the rules. Scram now if you know what's good for you! "
The onlookers had a change of expression when they heard that.
When the onlookers heard this, their expressions changed.
The wealthy family of Tiannan City!
The wealthy family of Tiannan City!
Ye Chen looked into his eyes fearlessly and enunciated word for word, "Nobody can take what I want away from me!"
Gu Shaokun walked to Ye Chen and stared at him from a close distance. He said with a scoff, "What a coincidence. Nobody dares to say no to what I want. I'm taking it today!"
"You can't take it away!" Ye Chen said coldly.
Gu Shaokun chuckled. "Try me!"
Ye Chen looked straight at him. "Try me!"
"Chen Houzi, give it to me now! I have money. I'll give you 5,000! "
Gu Shaokun smiled instead of being mad.
Chen Houzi was over the moon. He walked over and handed the bag to Ye Chen with excitement written all over his face.
Ye Chen grinned. "Chen Houzi, I'll ask you one last time. Do you still want the rules?"
Chen Houzi stopped walking and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying on his face.
"There's a rule in the antique world. After the buyer and the seller come to an agreement, the other buyer can't interfere. The seller can't break the agreement unless the original buyer backs out!
I've already given you the money earlier!
However, you didn't give me the item. Everyone around here can see it! "
A ferocious aura exploded from Ye Chen's body. "So, Chen Houzi, are you trying to break the rules?"
The antique world was equivalent to the market in the cultivation world. There was such a rule in the market too. Otherwise, how could the business be run if everyone broke the rules with their power?
Chen Houzi fell to the ground with a thud, his face extremely pale.
Ye Chen was right. There was indeed such an unwritten rule in the antique world.
In layman's terms, it was first come, first served.
Indeed, the item was in his hands. He could ignore what Ye Chen said and sell it to Gu Shaokun directly. However, that would mean that he, Chen Houzi, was a man of his word. His reputation would be ruined, and he would not be able to survive in the antique world in the future.
Chen Houzi's expression changed a few times. He said after taking a deep breath in, "Brother, I'll give you the item. I, Chen Houzi, admit defeat!"
Gu Shaokun, who was standing aside, was enraged. "Chen Houzi, you …"
"Gu Shaokun, are you trying to break the rules too?" Ye Chen took a step forward and looked at him in a threatening manner. The aura on his body was unshakable like a mountain.
"You …" Gu Shaokun panicked.
"You piece of trash!"
Ye Chen interrupted him first. "Apart from bullying the weak with your family background, what else can you do? In this world, no matter how much power and wealth the Gu Family had, so what? Can you suppress everyone here? Rules are rules!
Of course, if you insist on breaking the rules, then I won't have to either!
Because nobody can take away what I, Ye Chen, have set my eyes on! "
At that moment, a ferocious gleam flashed through Ye Chen's eyes. He was extremely domineering, shocking the people around. One must know that Gu Shaokun was the young master of the Gu family.
Gu Shaokun glared deadly at Ye Chen as his face turned pale. He was breathing heavily through his nose. That went on for approximately ten seconds. He suddenly laughed out loud and scoffed. "Bumpkin, I know the rules better than you do. It's yours now!
I can't believe that I fought a bumpkin like you over a piece of trash. Now that I think about it, it's really beneath me.
Only a bumpkin like you would spend 200 yuan to buy a piece of trash that nobody would want even if I gave it to you for free. A bumpkin is a bumpkin. "
Gu Shaokun took off the pear yellow bracelet from his left hand as he spoke to this point. He said as if he was showing off, "Do you know what this is? This is an old item that belonged to a third-rank minister during the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty. You won't be able to buy a single bead on it even if you spend your entire life. "
Chen Houzi's eyes turned green. He went forward to look at the bracelet carefully and said in disbelief, "Gu … Young Master Gu … Could this be … Could this be the one that was sold for 1.8 million at the auction a while ago …"
Exclamations came from the crowd as soon as he was done speaking.
"You're smart, brat!"
Gu Shaokun responded in an extremely arrogant manner. He looked coldly at Ye Chen, trying to see something on his face such as shock, envy, and regret.
"Oh!"
However, Ye Chen merely responded expressionlessly, "Oh."
The smile on Gu Shaokun's face froze. He took off the thumb ring on his hand in rage and said, "This was worn by He Chen during the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Do you know how much it's worth? 4.3 million yuan! "
The crowd gasped again. Chen Houzi's eyes were green like a wolf that had been starving for a few days.
"Oh!"
"…"
Gu Shaokun was going crazy facing Ye Chen's coldness. He felt like he had punched the air.
He tore the big gold necklace on his chest while his eyes were red. He kissed the longevity lock and said, "Bumpkin, I'll show you my most valuable item. This is the longevity lock that the Ming Guangzong Emperor, Zhu Changluo, ordered the craftsman to make for the Third Prince, Zhu Youji. The Third Prince was given the title of Prince Qi Si after his death …"
"Oh!" Ye Chen responded again.
Gu Shaokun shouted, "You …"
"You're courting death!"
