"Hiss——"

In the antique shop, at this moment, a collective gasp filled the air.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the piece of Scrap Jade in Jiang Chen's hands.

Because, from the Scrap Jade, Jiang Chen had actually uncovered a large swath of blood red! The dripping red hue indicated that there was indeed a treasure hidden within the Scrap Jade!

What was going on?

The crowd was shocked!

"Is this, is this Jade within Jade? This Blood Jade, it must be worth tens of millions at least! This young man has made a fortune!" Suddenly, an exclamation erupted.

Everyone turned to look and saw an elderly man squeezing through the crowd, staring in astonishment at the Blood Jade that Jiang Chen had completely exposed.

"It's Professor Lin!"

"He's an expert in Jade Stone!"

"That guy really scraped out some fine jade! Jade within Jade is like a painting within a painting, that Blood Jade is definitely good stuff!"

"It really is fine jade! This kid has such sharp eyes!"

"Impressive! Truly impressive!"

At the door, the crowd's tone changed as they began to praise Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen picked up the Blood Jade from the ground, blew off the jade powder from the surface, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Young man, are you selling this Blood Jade? I'll offer fifty million!" Professor Lin was anxious. Such a large piece of Blood Jade was a treasure, and he really wanted to get his hands on it.

"Fifty million? Holy shit!"

The bystanders were dumbfounded! The item purchased for five hundred thousand had increased a hundredfold in value in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Chen had struck it rich!

But Jiang Chen just shook his head, "Not selling, I have my own use for it."

Saying so, he carefully tucked it into his chest pocket, as this item was worth far more to him than fifty million.

Professor Lin was filled with regret for quite a while, shaking his head continuously.

"Hand it over!" But at that moment, the Jade Stone shop owner, grinding his teeth, looked at Jiang Chen: "You, give me back the Blood Jade!"

Jiang Chen looked at the shop owner indifferently, scoffed, and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone wanting to take back a sold piece of Jade Stone."

"That's right, once it's sold, it's sold!"

"Exactly, antique dealing is an all-or-nothing business. Once somebody else buys it, whether it appreciates or loses value, it's no longer the store's concern!"

"That's just being greedy! Just now he wanted to scam someone, but it backfired and he ended up hitting his own foot with the rock!"

"How can you break the rules like this? Do you still plan to run a shop in Dingjing?"

The crowd at the door refused to accept this, and they all began denouncing the shop owner.

The shop owner's face changed color; he didn't dare ask Jiang Chen for the jade back. Breaking the rules of the business meant he truly could no longer survive in Dingjing's antique world.

The most important thing was, the transaction was complete; he couldn't take it back anyway!

"Smack!"

The infuriated shop owner turned around and fiercely slapped Shen Xiaojiao's face, cursing loudly, "Are you fucking stupid? You try to scam someone without knowing you should use a piece of Scrap Jade for that?"

"Scam?!"

"Haha, the shop owner himself admits to trying to scam someone!"

"This is a dishonest shop!"

"It's not exactly a black shop, in this line of business it's all the same, targeting those who can't see the true value. However, today's shop assistant dug his own grave by scamming others!"

The crowd at the door burst into hearty laughter.

Gong Yue also came to her senses, her eyes shining with fervor as she looked at Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, I was the one who broke the jade, give it back to me!"

"Now you admit that you broke it? What took you so long? Just now when I asked you to buy it, you refused, so I spent the money. Now it belongs to me!" Jiang Chen glanced at Gong Yue with disdain.

Gong Yue clenched her teeth in anger and remorse, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen, her face flushing with fury.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Just then, a chorus of voices came through as Li Weicheng and Liu Yuyao squeezed into the antique shop.

"How come you're here?"

The crestfallen Shen Xiaojiao, surprised to see Liu Yuyao and her companion, immediately perked up upon spotting Li Weicheng and pulled him over, pointing at Jiang Chen, "Mr. Li, you've arrived at the perfect time, help me teach this loser a lesson..."

"Slap!" But before she could finish, Li Weicheng raised his hand and slapped her, "Your whole family are losers, daring to talk about Mr. Jiang like that, get lost!"

Li Weicheng pushed Shen Xiaojiao away, rushed to Jiang Chen's side, and said with a bitter face, "Mr. Jiang, the investment agreement was canceled; Manager Wang didn't approve it!"

"Mr. Li, what did you call him? He really is just a loser!" Still clutching her face, Shen Xiaojiao was confused, unwilling to accept that Li Weicheng had changed his mind.

"You dare say one more word about Mr. Li being a loser, I'll kill you!" Li Weicheng, still hoping for Jiang Chen's help, immediately turned and cursed furiously at Shen Xiaojiao when he heard her badmouthing Jiang Chen.

Shen Xiaojiao was completely dumbstruck by the scolding, staring blankly at Li Weicheng.

Liu Yuyao pulled Shen Xiaojiao aside and quickly explained the situation to her.

"What...he is..."

Shen Xiaojiao was shocked, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

At that moment, Jiang Chen glanced at Shen Xiaojiao and said indifferently, "Heh, fine, I'm the loser, alright? Losers can't get things done!"

Having said that, he grabbed Gong Yue's hand and turned to leave.

"No, no, no!" Li Weicheng was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly to stop Jiang Chen, then turned and glared fiercely at Shen Xiaojiao, "You stupid woman, you provoked Mr. Jiang, now apologize to him!"

Shen Xiaojiao panicked too; Li Weicheng's anger was minor, but the loss of her shares was a major blow.

Hence, she hurriedly ran out from behind the counter, came before Jiang Chen, and pleaded anxiously, "Jiang Chen, I was wrong, I'm the loser, my whole family are losers, you are a magnanimous person, please forgive us."

Jiang Chen gave a cold laugh, "You hate me, don't you? You deliberately set up my friend, and now you want my forgiveness?"

"Thud!"

Shen Xiaojiao dropped to her knees on the ground; the investment from Li Weicheng could bring significant benefits to her family, and besides, judging by the situation, if this deal failed, Li Weicheng and Liu Yuyao's relationship would likely end too. Shen Xiaojiao was completely panicked and begged on her knees, "It's all my fault, entirely my fault, please forgive me, just think of me as your mother's niece and forgive me!"

"Auntie?! That person is that young guy's aunt?!"

"So they are actually relatives? I thought they were just from the same village!"

"Damn, relatives are scamming each other? That's just inhumane!"

"It's not just scamming, she looked down on him all this time, and now that she's in trouble and needs help, she's kneeling down to beg; such relatives are better off disowned!"

"Exactly, what kind of person is she!"

The people at the door understood what was going on and started to curse and condemn Shen Xiaojiao.

Shen Xiaojiao knelt on the ground, her face flushed with shame, looking pitifully at Jiang Chen, not daring to harbor any resentment anymore.

"Mr. Jiang, I..." Li Weicheng started to speak in a strained laugh.

Jiang Chen waved his hand to stop Li Weicheng and turned to look at Shen Xiaojiao, "Considering my mother's reputation, I'll forgive you this time, but let me make this clear: if you dare to make my mother feel aggrieved like you did yesterday, I will not let you off."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare again!" Shen Xiaojiao hurriedly waved her hands.

Jiang Chen turned to Li Weicheng and said flatly, "Bring me the investment agreement to look at."
