Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Do You Dare? (Third Update - Seeking Subscription)

Ye Chen looked at Chen Bin with a playful smile: "By the way, did you just say you’d give me a million if I proved it was fake?"

Chen Bin took a deep breath: "I, Fourth Master Chen, keep my word. The money will be yours."

Even though the blue and white porcelain was broken, I can’t lose face.

In the antique business, credibility is everything, so no matter what, you have to swallow your pride.

Chen Bin took a deep breath again, pretending not to care, cupped his fists to everyone, and said: "I, Chen Bin, made a fool of myself today. Thank you, young brother, for smashing this porcelain for me. I’ll take this as a lesson. Everyone, please disperse!"

The crowd dispersed, and Chen Bin, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, said to Ye Chen: "Young brother, come have a cup of tea at my Tongbao Tower, so I can prepare the money for you."

Ye Chen laughed coldly in his heart, have tea, prepare money? I don’t believe you’d be so kind.

But Ye Chen nodded: "Alright."

"Ye Qian, you go back first. I’ll have some tea and chat with Mr. Chen."

Ye Qian asked worriedly; "Can you manage by yourself?"

"No problem, don’t worry." Ye Chen smiled.

Though worried, Ye Qian had no choice but to leave when she saw Ye Chen’s nonchalant attitude.

Ye Chen entered Tongbao Tower, and the attendant at the door shut the door behind him.

Chen Bin’s smile instantly vanished.

"Kid, you’ve got some nerve to dare smash my 30 million blue and white porcelain."

Ye Chen saw Chen Bin’s face change and suddenly laughed: "What, didn’t you say you’d give me a million as a reward? Thinking of going back on your word?"

"Hmph, kid, you break my porcelain and still want a million, today I’ll take a leg from you as compensation," Chen Bin revealed his true self with a fierce look.

Ye Chen suddenly laughed: "Do you dare?"

Seeing Ye Chen so calm and composed, Chen Bin was taken aback.

This kid is on the verge of death and he can still laugh.

Just then, there was a pounding sound of knocking from outside.

Chen Bin frowned: "Tell the people outside, I’m not seeing anyone today."

But soon, an attendant ran in.

"Fourth Master, the visitor is Li Kun, the property manager of Taobao Street."

"Why is he here?" Chen Bin was taken aback.

Though Chen Bin was strong on Taobao Street, the property manager was not someone he could offend.

"You bunch, watch him."

Saying this, Chen Bin nervously walked outside.

"President Li, why are you here?" Chen Bin greeted with a smile.

"Is President Ye here with you?" Li Kun asked urgently.

"President Ye, which President Ye?" Chen Bin was puzzled for a moment.

"The one who just smashed your vase is President Ye, he’s the second-largest shareholder of our Taobao Street."

"What?" Chen Bin gasped.

If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t care.

But the other party was a major shareholder of Taobao Street.

If he offended Ye Chen, he wouldn’t be able to work on Taobao Street anymore.

Damn it!

Chen Bin was about to go crazy.

How the hell did I offend such a big shot?

"Did you do something to Mr. Ye?" Li Kun sensed something was off and asked.

"No, no, how would I dare?" Chen Bin wiped his sweat.

Damn it, that was close.

If he really had acted on Ye Chen, he’d be dead today.

"Mr. Ye is in the room drinking tea." Chen Bin said awkwardly.

Li Kun glared at Chen Bin and quickly stepped into the inner room.

Indeed, Ye Chen was leisurely drinking tea in his seat.

"President Ye, I’m Li Kun, the property manager of Taobao Street. Chen Bin didn’t give you any trouble, did he?" Li Kun asked while glancing at the few burly men in the room.

"No, we had a nice chat. Chen Bin insisted on taking me as his mentor, and he’s even giving me two million as a mentorship fee."

"Damn!" Chen Bin was about to go mad with anger.

When the hell did I say I wanted to be your disciple?

Chen Bin knew that if Li Kun found out that he intended to harm Ye Chen, he’d be in for a rough time. He quickly said: "Yes, Mr. Ye has an excellent skill in appraisal, I’m thinking of learning from Mr. Ye."

Li Kun nodded: "That’s good. Chen Bin, Mr. Ye is an important partner of our boss, you should know what to do."

Chen Bin gritted his teeth in anger.

He hated Ye Chen to the core, but still couldn’t afford to offend him.

...

Ye Chen left Tongbao Tower carrying two million, respectfully escorted out by Chen Bin.

After Ye Chen left Tongbao Tower, he didn’t leave immediately but rather sat in his car.

As the day darkened, several cars drove out of Tongbao Tower.

Ye Chen’s lips curled up, seems like his gamble paid off.

The cars entered a mountainous area and then stopped in a valley.

Ye Chen hid in the bushes, watching these people carry digging tools into the hollow of the mountain.

Sure enough, these guys were grave robbers.

After confirming they were robbing graves, Ye Chen quietly left.

Late at night, under the dark sky and high wind,

It was already past 3 a.m., the entire city was silent.

A Land Rover drove into an abandoned factory.

The car stopped in the yard, and a few people got out of the car.

"Fourth Master, this time you’re leading the operation."

Chen Bin clenched his teeth.

"Today was a bloody loss, lost a deal worth thirty million, that bastard Ye Chen, I’ll find a chance to kill him."

"Don’t worry, Fourth Master, this time we have huge gains, if we liquidate these goods, it’ll be worth at least a few hundred million."

Chen Bin nodded: "Once this deal is over, we won’t have to live with fear for the rest of our lives."

Just then, a blinding light shone from afar.

"They’re here!" One of the men exclaimed excitedly.

One of the attendants took out a flashlight and waved it towards the sky.

Then, all around it fell silent again.

The car slowly drove into the yard.

Once the car stopped, a skinny young man jumped out.

Then several others got out of the car, opened the trunk, and lifted a large box out.

Excitedly, Chen Bin walked to the box and said: "I’ve been waiting for this batch of goods for a long time, finally I can get my hands on it."

The skinny young man said: "This time we robbed the Han King’s Tomb, any piece inside is worth millions, boss, we’re rich this time."

Chen Bin nodded: "But we have to be careful transporting these goods, if the cops get wind of it, it’ll cost us our heads."

"Alright, verify the goods." Chen Bin said, motioning for someone to open the box.

Inside the box were some ceramics and some ancient blades.

If an archaeological expert saw these, they would be delighted because these treasures have great research value.

Unfortunately, these precious artifacts fell into the hands of these grave robbers.

Chen Bin picked up a piece of porcelain, looked it over, and nodded: "This is a good piece, it can fetch millions overseas."

"This time we dug up a Han King’s Tomb, of course the harvest is great," said the skinny young man with pride.

Chen Bin nodded in satisfaction, then said: "The goods are fine, load them into the car."

An attendant was about to put the box into the Land Rover.

Just then...

Several strong lights turned the whole abandoned factory as bright as day!
