Jiang Chen immediately sneered, "Is the Lin Family such a big deal? Today, I will smash this store of yours."

"Good, if you have the guts, then smash it. I won't stop you, but I will make sure you go bankrupt paying for it!" the store owner said with a cold face.

Crack!

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen sneered again and directly threw a one-meter-tall vase beside him to the ground.

"You!" The store owner's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted, "This is a Qing porcelain vase from the Ancient Dynasty worth ten million, you're finished!"

Jiang Chen sneered, then turned to Wang Lianming nearby, "You're the expert, please help us see, what kind of porcelain is this, actually?"

Wang Lianming glanced at Jiang Chen, then at the store owner. He nodded, squatted down, and after a careful look, he spoke, "This is Yunjing Ceramics. Such a large ceramic vase should be worth about a hundred or so!"

"What?"

"This is a fake?!"

Upon hearing Wang Lianming's words, everyone at the entrance of the store exclaimed in shock.

"Thank you, Professor Wang!" Jiang Chen looked at Wang Lianming gratefully, smiled, and nodded his head.

This Professor Wang was not lying; he spoke the truth.

Bang!

After thanking Wang Lianming, Jiang Chen smashed another inkstone desk,

"This is an inkstone desk from Shangjing, worth about a hundred and thirty or so!" Wang Lianming continued to appraise.

Smack!

"This is..."

Chink!

"This one is valued at..."

Clang!

"This..."

Before long, Jiang Chen had smashed eighty percent of the items in the antique store, and each and every one was a fake!

"Are, are, are all these fake? Isn't everything in this store fake?"

"This is a scam store!"

The crowd at the entrance very much trusted Wang Lianming and absolutely believed his appraisals. They all glared angrily and indignantly at the store owner!

"You, you... If you dare, keep smashing!" the store owner yelled at Jiang Chen, pointing his finger.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Do you think I am smashing your storefront? I'm smashing your reputation! The rest of these are indeed genuine, but damned if they're just the cheap stuff you display to fool people, barely worth anything, while these so-called valuables are all fake. Your store's reputation is now thoroughly blackened!"

"You..." the store owner's face changed drastically. He swept his gaze around and suddenly realized that none of the lower quality genuine items meant to serve as a front had been smashed; only the fakes had been destroyed!

Hearing this, Wang Lianming also carefully looked at the remaining items in the store and couldn't help but exclaim, "Young man, you have a good eye. These leftovers are indeed some genuine items, though their quality is not that great!"

"So impressive!"

"This kid has such good judgment!"

"With so many fake items, this shop is nothing but a scam!"

"Such darkness! Over eighty percent are fake, it can't get any darker than this! Damn, they even use some low-quality genuine items to confuse people, really damn cunning!"

A buzz of astonishment and curses rose from the entrance.

Jiang Chen took out his wallet, pulled out a wad of cash, and shook it at the store owner: "This money is to compensate you for these fakes, it should be enough!"

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, and a stack of cash fluttered and scattered on the ground.

With a sneer, Jiang Chen picked up the Blood Finger from the counter and turned to walk out of the antique store.

Nodding in thanks to Wang Lianming, Jiang Chen strode toward his car, with Chen Weicheng following in step behind him.

The signboard of the antique store had been thoroughly smashed by Jiang Chen. From now on, everyone in the antique market would know this was a black shop as crooked as they come.

"Let's go, you've shown your intentions. Come to your martial arts gym, and I'll treat your injury." Reaching his car, Jiang Chen called out to Chen Weicheng, then opened the door and got into the vehicle.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Chen Weicheng, overjoyed, quickly expressed his gratitude and drove ahead to lead the way.

At the martial arts gym, Jiang Chen treated Chen Weicheng with acupuncture, left behind a prescription, and gave him a few instructions. Under Chen Weicheng's profuse thanks, Jiang Chen left the gym.

As soon as he stepped out of the gym, Jiang Chen's expression instantly darkened.

These Four Great Aristocratic Families just won't stop their attempts to ruin me! I've warned them multiple times, yet they still frequently target me!

I must eliminate them!

But... with my current abilities, I'm afraid I can't get rid of the Four Great Aristocratic Families through normal means. I can't just kill them all, can I?

That would add up to hundreds, if not thousands of people!

This isn't something Jiang Chen can do right now.

Finally, after some thought, Jiang Chen dialed Elder Master Jiang's phone.

"Hello, Chen'er, it's rare for you to call grandpa voluntarily!" The moment the call connected, Elder Master Jiang's delighted voice came through.

Jiang Chen cracked a small smile, "Grandpa, how have you been lately?"

"Very well!"

...

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Chen got straight to the point in a grave tone, "Grandpa, about the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Dingjing..."

Having described his current predicament, Jiang Chen softly inquired, "Are these Four Great Aristocratic Families easy to handle?"

"Ha ha..."

Laughter boomed from the earpiece, with Elder Master Jiang responding, "Chen'er, what dogshit Four Great Aristocratic Families. In the eyes of the Jiang Family, they are nothing but chickens and dogs.

If you return to the family, just a slight use of the family's power will make these families disappear like smoke and clouds. Eradicating them is just a matter of minutes.

However... the family's trial for you is not yet over, and the family's power cannot be used for you just yet. That's something to discuss after you return to the family!"

Elder Master Jiang was not incapable of annihilating the Four Great Aristocratic Families; he simply wanted to use them as a means to temper Jiang Chen. On the other hand, he hoped that this would motivate Jiang Chen to return to the family sooner.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded inwardly and chatted with his grandfather for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

"It seems I need to hasten my return to the family! For the sake of my family and to avoid this kind of frustration in the future, I need to return to the Jiang Family sooner and take control of my own rights!"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, got into the car, and drove towards the Lin Family.

"Hello!" While driving, Jiang Chen dialed Xuan Long's phone, "Call Yan Hu and meet at the gate of the Lin Family villa!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the second surge of the Northern Federation Coin was about to start. It was hovering around a hundred Northern Federation Coins now, but in a few days, it could rise to more than 5000 Northern Federation Coins, an increase of over 40 times. Isn't this an opportunity to increase funds?

No sooner had he thought of it than Jiang Chen called Gong Lin.

"Hello, Jiang Chen." The phone was quickly answered, and Gong Lin's somewhat weary voice came through.

Jiang Chen hesitated slightly, then softly asked, "Gong Lin, how much liquid capital can the company still pull out right now?"

"Company liquid capital? There's still over ten billion available that can be taken out without affecting the company's operations!"

"Over ten billion? That's enough!" Jiang Chen exclaimed with delight, "Invest all the funds you can move into BT Coin!"
