Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Smash It

This artifact, identified as a genuine piece by everyone, the only one of its kind in the world, with an auction price of over ninety thousand Yuan, was casually thrown onto the ground by Xiao Yifei, shattering it to pieces.

The clear sound of the porcelain shattering rose, and then, there was no longer a single noise in the room, filled with a deathly silence!

A group of people stared wide-eyed at the Yuan blue-and-white Guiguzi Descends the Mountain unique vase that had been shattered by Xiao Yifei, their minds a complete blank!

This thing, this object of incalculable value that anyone would preserve as a treasured possession, was now, even while being appraised, deliberately thrown and broken by Xiao Yifei!

And the matter didn’t stop there. Xiao Yifei, as if dissatisfied with the degree to which the fragments of the Yuan blue-and-white vase were broken, took long strides over, squatted beside a piece of debris, casually picked up a shard, and then snapped that fragment into two with a ’snap’.

Everyone in the room stared dumbfounded at the composed and indifferent Xiao Yifei. They didn’t have time to wonder why the porcelain, under Xiao Yifei’s hands, was as fragile as foam. Seeing Xiao Yifei’s action, their hearts quivered violently. Could it be that Xiao Yifei truly had lost his mind? Wasn’t this enough already?

Even Mile, who always followed Cao Heming and had an ever-present half-smile on his face, suddenly froze at this scene.

Despite the fact that everyone in the room, aside from Xiao Yifei, belonged to families with vast businesses and assets counting in the hundreds of millions, never had they seen anyone act so recklessly!

"Fuck... fuck... fuck..."

Even Tan Zhenting, a man known for his steady demeanor and bold character, found himself at a loss for words upon witnessing Xiao Yifei’s sudden actions; he could only express his complex emotions with three consecutive ’fucks’.

"Alright, now we can make things crystal clear."

Xiao Yifei dusted his hands, casually holding a shard of Yuan blue-and-white pottery as he stood up, saying indifferently with a slight smile on his face, "There’s no need to say much more now, as saying too much is useless. According to what you’ve said, there is now only one unique Yuan blue-and-white Guiguzi Descends the Mountain piece left in the world."

Xiao Yifei stretched out his hand to point at the Yuan blue-and-white vase on the table that belonged to Tan Zhenting, unscathed, and said lightly, "That one there, so there’s no need for any more talk, that one is the genuine piece!"

Xiao Yifei’s arrogant, presumptuous, and illogical words left everyone in the room even more astonished.

"My god, Xiao Yifei brother is so domineering! I’ve never seen him like this before."

Tan Yunjing stared with her beautiful eyes, intently watching Xiao Yifei.

"Mr. Xiao has resolved the issue in a way, but it’s somewhat unreasonable and won’t convince the public, and furthermore..."

Tan Zhenting gave Xiao Yifei a glance, then, without finishing his sentence, turned his head towards Cao Heming and Jia Dong, who were standing by.

Just then, a piercing scream tore through the silence of the room.

"You little bastard! Little son of a bitch! Do you have any idea what you’ve done!"

Following the shout was a figure that pounced directly towards Xiao Yifei.

Jia Dong, incredulous, screamed as he lunged straight at Xiao Yifei. His eyes trembled, his expression maniacal.

"Do you fucking know what you’ve done? Do you have any idea how much this genuine piece is worth? You’re fucking asking for death!"

Jia Dong’s expression was manic, his hair disheveled!

"Professor Jia!"

As Jia Dong, with arms and legs flailing, charged at Xiao Yifei and crazily swung his fists, Tan Zhenting suddenly bellowed angrily. He moved slightly underfoot, and his figure shot out instantly, appearing in front of Xiao Yifei in a blink. He stretched out a hand and stopped Jia Dong, who was charging at Xiao Yifei, dead in his tracks.

Xiao Yifei narrowed his eyes sharply at the sight of Tan Zhenting’s swift movements in that brief instant. Despite having seen through all of Tan Zhenting’s moves in that split second, he couldn’t help but praise Tan Zhenting’s actions inwardly—he truly was a practitioner of the martial arts, and his kung fu was deep!

"Professor Jia, let’s talk things through. If there’s an issue, let’s discuss it. There’s no need to be so impulsive. Besides, you’re not young anymore, try to avoid such drastic movements."

Standing in front of Xiao Yifei, Tan Zhenting spoke to Jia Dong in a deep voice.

Jia Dong, after all, was just an old man with no strength to truss a chicken, and he couldn’t break through Tan Zhenting’s physique. Stopped by Tan Zhenting and hearing his words, Jia Dong halted, standing still, his gaze fixed deadly on Xiao Yifei, as if the fury in his eyes could burn Xiao Yifei to ashes.

And just as Tan Zhenting moved, Mile, who had been standing by the side, also almost sprang into action in an instant. His feet slid, a vicious light flashing suddenly in his eyes as he was about to charge at Tan Zhenting.

But at the very moment Mile intended to launch his sinister attack, an arm unexpectedly appeared in front of him and blocked his path.

While Jia Dong had become impulsively uncomposed after seeing Xiao Yifei’s behavior, Cao Heming, the Yuan blue-and-white vase director, had shown no other movement and even stopped Mile, who wanted to strike, in his tracks.

Mile turned his head, puzzled as he looked at Cao Heming, wondering why Cao Heming could endure such an incident and had even persuaded him to stand down. Xiao Yifei’s act was a blatant challenge to Cao Heming!

Cao Heming turned his head, subtly shook it at Mile, and whispered, "Don’t act rashly, after all, we are on the Tan Family’s turf."

After saying this to Mile, Cao Heming’s eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous aura like a snake, and he slowly advanced toward Tan Zhenting.

To say that Cao Heming wasn’t angry would be impossible. When he saw Xiao Yifei’s act, he almost choked on a breath of air, instantly wanting to strike out and kill this young man who never considered the consequences of his actions. However, when he saw Tan Zhenting protecting Xiao Yifei like that, he immediately calmed down. Although he came today with Mile and Jia Dong to cause trouble for the Tan Family, creating a disturbance wasn’t their goal, especially since any conflict would still be on the Tan Family’s territory.

"Family Head Tan! With this brat acting like this, do you still intend to protect him?"

Jia Dong glared at Xiao Yifei and said to Tan Zhenting with a stern voice.

Tan Zhenting turned to glance at Xiao Yifei, then back to Jia Dong, and said in a deep voice, "Whatever Mr. Xiao has done, whether it’s right or wrong, since he is our guest at the Tan Family, we will take responsibility for his actions."

Hearing Tan Zhenting’s words, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but turn his head, looking at Tan Zhenting with a hint of surprise and silently commending him. No wonder the Tan Family prospered under Tan Zhenting’s lead; he indeed had a charismatic personality. Xiao Yifei was moved that Tan Zhenting was willing to take responsibility for his rash behavior.

Although he was Tan Yunjing’s lifesaver, Xiao Yifei still held Tan Zhenting in higher regard because of his actions.
