“I really know my mistake. Please be magnanimous and forgive me! I’m begging you. I won’t dare to do it again!” The stall owner begged directly. “I’m not trying to teach you a lesson. 1 don’t have time to waste on people like you!” Jian Xing’er whispered to the stall owner, “Find me something that’s hard to tell if it’s real or fake, the kind that even experts can’t tell.” The stall owner looked very hesitant, but in the end, he took out a very exquisite wooden box from the corner. After opening it, he carefully introduced it to Jian Xing’er. “I publicized this ancient painting as Qi Bai’s authentic work. Although it’s not Qi Bai’s, it was imitated by another famous painter in ancient times. As long as he’s not Qi Bai’s biological son, no one can tell if it’s real or fake. The price of this painting wasn’t low when I bought it. It cost a total of 80,000 yuan.”
Jian Xing’er glanced at it and said directly, “Alright, 1’11 take it!” The stall owner handed it to Jian Xing’er reluctantly. This imitation ancient painting was the most valuable thing in his hands. Originally, he had planned to rely on this painting to scam a fool and earn around 18 million yuan. Now, everything had to be made ducks and drakes of. “Alright, swipe your card.” Jian Xing’er handed the bank card to the stall owner. The stall owner waved his hand when he saw this. “Take it away directly. I won’t take your money. 1 just hope that you can pretend that nothing happened today. Don’t report me!” The stall owner knew his priorities. If Jian Xing’er went to the police station to report him and he was sentenced to three to five years, the losses would be far more than 80,000 yuan.
“You have to accept this money. 1 need someone to be my guide. It’s my first time at Kaiyuan, so I’m unfamiliar with many things!” Jian Xing’er continued, “This 80,000 yuan isn’t for free. You have to be my guide. When I’m done with my business, I’ll give you another 200,000 yuan!” Upon hearing this, the stall owner was interested. In their line of work, business was unstable. Who knew if he would be able to earn 200,000 yuan in half a year!”
“Alright! 1’11 listen to your instructions in the future!” The stall owner agreed readily. Then, he began to clean up the stall. He didn’t plan to set up a stall today. Protecting a rich person like Jian Xing’er than setting up a stall was much more profitable. When Jian Xing’er brought the stall owner to the entrance of Sea City’s Antique City, the stall owner’s expression became hesitant. “You’re not here to find trouble with Guo Erlang, are you…”
“Yes!” Jian Xing’er nodded. As soon as she said this, the stall owner was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Almost everyone in the entire Sea City’s antique world knew about Guo Erlang. He was cautious, paranoid, and vicious. Those who had conflicts with him usually wouldn’t have a good ending! Even if she gave the stall owner 500,000 yuan, he wouldn’t have the guts to make enemies with Guo Erlang. “If 1 knew that you were enemies with Guo Erlang, 1 wouldn’t have dared to agree to it no matter what. I still have to earn a living here in the Kaiyuan in the future. How would 1 dare to provoke him? Please spare me!” The stall owner waved his hand repeatedly, his face filled with fear of Guo Erlang. Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “You don’t have to be afraid. He’s not my match.” The stall owner said helplessly, “Although you’re rich, you don’t know what kind of person Guo Erlang is! Just last month, a rich second-generation heir from the capital came to find trouble with Guo Erlang. In the end, that rich second-generation heir was forced to jump into the river and commit suicide. Even his company closed down!”
When Jian Xing’er heard this, she chuckled. It seemed that Guo Erlang was quite capable, but it was useless no matter how capable he was. Since she was here, today was the day he would die. “Firstly, 1 said that you don’t have to be afraid of him with me around. Secondly, you promised to be my guide, but you went back on your word. You should know the consequences if 1 hand your things to the police.” Jian Xing’er’s tone was calm, but her words were threatening. She had to use such a method to make a person like the stall owner obedient. The stall owner’s face was filled with despair. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to follow Jian Xing’er into the hall of the antique city. As soon as he entered, a young female attendant came from afar and greeted the two of them with a smile. Jian Xing’er’s luxury car, which was worth hundreds of millions, was parked at the entrance. The employees here could tell at a glance that Jian Xing’er was a rich person..
