Chapter 130: Chapter 130

When the car stopped, Little Bun, seated in the back, had already covered her eyes and her legs were trembling like leaves. Flaunting his fearlessness, the Golden Lion King opened the car door and leaned on the car, deliberately waiting a few minutes for Little Bun to recover. Once she seemed better, he coolly said, "All set? Get out then."

Little Bun shakily opened the car door and got out, taking a while to regain her composure. But as she did, she got another shock, "Xing Sister, how did you get here? If your father finds out, he will definitely..."

"Shut up. If you don’t say anything and I don’t, who would know!"

Little Bun must have been frantic as she looked around helplessly before noticing Ye Tian standing off to the side. She hastily approached him, "Young man, please, you’ve got to persuade our Miss. This is not the place for her."

"Sister, where is this? I’ve never been here before."

Little Bun was taken aback, then realized it was the security guard who had mocked her at the entrance. She stood with hands on her hips, her face twisted in a grimace, "I was wondering who you were. Just a watchdog, no wonder you don’t know about Ghost City, you’re just a toad thinking he’s a Leopard!"

Ghost City? This is Ghost City?

Ye Tian looked around at the desolation resembling an oasis in the desert, except it was an oasis without any water.

Next to the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, there was an open space surrounded by power plants and the like, and some dismantled old brick kilns due to environmental regulations. Amid these ruins, there was a dilapidated wall with an equally worn gate at its center. The wall was made of hollow bricks stacked up without even using cement.

"Hey, you, the security guard, what’s your name?"

"Ye Tian."

Miss Chen gave him a glance, "Why would you have that name? It sounds so bad. Listen, Ye Tian, don’t tell anyone about my visit here today, including that idiot at the gate and the old hooligan with the parted hair. You look pretty normal, so how come the friends you make are so abnormal? Either they’re fools or they’re thugs, it’s like the Three Stooges at Fengyue Lake..."

Ye Tian’s forehead was lined with annoyance. What did they ever do to you? What a sharp tongue.

As they were talking, the door over there opened, and some people came out, looking like they were there to greet guests.

"Miss Chen, and this is..."

"He’s a client I brought here, a big client. You all better treat him nicely."

"Ah?" The several suit-clad individuals looked at each other with awkward expressions.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Miss Chen getting a bit angry, the leading man explained, "Miss Chen, this isn’t quite according to the rules."

"What rules? I’ve seen lots of people bringing family or friends in with them. What, so when it’s my turn it’s against the rules? Call Cheng Ming out for me!"

As she was calling out, a person came running out at just the right moment. It seemed like businesspeople, especially those at the boss level, all end up quite portly. The boss named Cheng Ming before them was also a big-bellied man.

"Miss Chen, come right in, this way please. Both of you too, please," he welcomed us with a smile, but turned around with a cold face, "Scram, blind fools! From now on, anyone brought by Miss Chen is our VIP, and not just any VIP, but top-level VIP! This way please, all three of you."

Seeing Cheng Ming’s attitude improved Chen Xing’s mood considerably. She casually flung the keys out, and those few people scrambled to catch them. "Be careful with it. If you damage my car, Beware that Boss Cheng might ’damage’ you. Hmph!"

The feeling of releasing that anger was marvelous. Chen Xing tiptoed her way in with a swaying walk, Little Bun followed behind her, and Ye Tian was last, staring at those denim-shorted buttocks swinging back and forth, a tingly sensation ran through him.

However, that mood lasted only a few seconds. As he stepped through the gate, a whole new visual shock hit him square in the face.

Is this... the antiques market?

Ye Tian saw the large courtyard surrounded by hollow bricks, filled with stalls of all sizes, pots and jars, jewelry and jade, gold, silver, copper, and iron, it had everything. With a closer look, he even found someone squatting there, selling comic books like "Vajra Calabash Brother" and "Black Cat Chief."

Whoa, talk about an eye-opener; so this is Ghost City. I thought it was some creepy place. Looking at the "junk" filling up the yard and thinking back to the expressions on those two guys when we entered, Ye Tian realized that this place really wasn’t quite suitable for women.

"Mr. Ye, come here for a sec."

Seeing Chen Xing beckoning him over from ahead, with an overtly affectionate look that didn’t seem quite natural, and even her form of address had changed, Ye Tian knew there was something up.

Ye Tian coughed twice and walked over, feeling a bit nervous himself. Who knew what this girl was thinking; she even dared to call her own father ’Dad-in-law’, no easy character to deal with.

"Ye Tian, I called you here this time to give you an opportunity. If you do this well, I’ll pay you more than you’d make in a lifetime as a security guard."

"What task?"

"Why the shivering?"

Seeing Ye Tian’s shoulders and legs beginning to shiver, Chen Xing impatiently slapped him on the shoulder. She had wanted to hit the back of his head but couldn’t reach, even on tiptoes, so she gave up and released all her strength on his shoulder instead.

"I...I’m just nervous!"

"Nervous my ass! We’re not here to do anything bad!" The little miss got so excited, her yellow curly hair shook erratically. If you took a close look, you’d realize she’s actually quite attractive.

"What are you staring at! Haven’t seen a beauty before?" Crossing her arms, Chen Xing looked annoyed, "Really misjudged you. Had I known you were this daft, I would’ve brought that big dope from the start."

Seeing that the little play-acting did its job, and people around started to notice them, Ye Tian leaned in and said, "Miss, what exactly do you want me to do? Let’s just get it started and over with quickly!"

Chen Xing was taken aback and then gritted her teeth speaking with suppressed anger, "What do you mean by ’get it started and over with quickly’? What are you thinking about! You look clean-cut, but your mind is dirtier than dung!"

After enduring a ten-minute long critique and ideological education from Chen Xing, he finally got to know the high-risk, high-reward task at hand.

"When I see something I like later on, you’re going to pay for it. Remember, you’re my client, someone who likes to collect antiques, and I’m just taking you here for fun. Just so you know, all the good stuff is in that little cabin; you’ll follow me in there later. Why that look on your face?"
