After hearing Bald Liu’s words, Tian Bin’s gaze instantly fell upon Qin Chuan.
"It’s not at all like he said."
Dongfang Yiren quickly explained, "The stall holder just didn’t recognize what he had and sold it to my friend for five thousand."
"The deal is done, and even if it’s a treasure, that has nothing to do with the stall holder anymore."
It was only then that Tian Bin noticed Dongfang Yiren, and he couldn’t help but be dazzled by her appearance.
"Pah! I’ve been in the antiques world for more than twenty years; how could I be not as good as some greenhorn kid?"
The stall holder immediately pointed at the broken porcelain bowl he had just smashed, saying to Tian Bin, "These antique fragments are what he bought for five thousand."
Tian Bin looked down at the fragments on the ground and said to Qin Chuan, "Kid, with such conclusive evidence, what else do you have to say?"
"Hand it over to me, and I will give you an opportunity to join the Black Dragon Commerce Association."
Qin Chuan sneered, "Are you sure you want me to hand it over to you?"
Tian Bin frowned, "Do I look like I’m joking with you?"
"I hope you won’t regret it later!"
As Qin Chuan spoke, he threw the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood in his hand over to Tian Bin, who caught it in one grasp.
Looking at the treasure in his hand, Tian Bin’s eyes were filled with greed.
In the depths of Bald Liu’s eyes, there was a look of worry. He hastily gave a meaningful glance to the stall holder.
The stall holder understood immediately, and quickly picked up a creamy white and delicate jade bracelet, handing it over with both hands.
"Brother Tian, I’m very grateful for you helping me get this piece of Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood back. This Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet is for you as a token of my gratitude. Please, accept it!"
The stall holder had a sycophantic smile on his face.
Tian Bin frowned, then directly pocketed the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood.
Bald Liu and the stall holder’s expressions changed dramatically.
Carefully, the stall holder asked, "Brother Tian, what do you mean by this?"
Tian Bin’s gaze turned icy as he coldly said, "With just a broken bracelet, you think you can get rid of me?"
The stall holder was almost in tears, and seeing how vicious Tian Bin looked, he didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, only casting a pleading look at Bald Liu.
Bald Liu hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, this..."
Before he could finish, Tian Bin pierced him with a fierce glare, and he quickly swallowed his words.
"Qin Chuan, that piece of Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood was clearly yours, why did you just hand it over?"
Seeing Tian Bin stash the item, Dongfang Yiren said with dissatisfaction.
Qin Chuan simply smiled, "Don’t worry, what is mine will be mine, no one can take it away."
"Enough, stop worrying, the auction is about to start, we should go."
He was pulling Dongfang Yiren to leave, not even giving Tian Bin a glance, as if he truly didn’t care about that Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood worth fifty million.
The people around them all wore surprised expressions. They were just leaving like that?
Tian Bin watched as the two walked away, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly called out, "Did I say you could leave?"
As his voice fell, the experts from the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association who had come with him all charged forward at once, surrounding Qin Chuan and Dongfang Yiren.
Qin Chuan’s expression gradually darkened as he said in a cold voice, "Do you have another issue?"
Tian Bin slightly narrowed his eyes, fixing them on Qin Chuan as he said, "You hurt my people. If I just let you leave like that, wouldn’t that be a slap in my face?"
Before he arrived, the men brought by Bald Liu had all been left with one arm useless.
"How come your words don’t count? Didn’t you just say, as long as my friend hands over the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood to you, you would let us leave?"
Dongfang Yiren became immediately infuriated and questioned Tian Bin loudly.
Tian Bin said with a smile, "You said it yourself, that was just now! But now, I need to seek justice for my brothers."
Dongfang Yiren angrily said, "What kind of justice do you want?"
Tian Bin replied, "If you spend a night with me, I’ll let your friend go. How about that? It’s a good deal, isn’t it?"
"You..."
Dongfang Yiren was flushed with anger as she said, "You’re shameless! Despicable!"
Then, taking Qin Chuan by the hand, she said, "Qin Chuan, let’s go, don’t bother with this despicable man."
"Think you can leave? It’s too late!"
Tian Bin swung his large hand and ordered, "Cripple this punk for me!"
With his command, sixteen experts from the Black Dragon Commerce Association charged directly at Qin Chuan.
Dongfang Yiren immediately became anxious. Qin Chuan had already shown signs of the poison taking effect when he made his move earlier. If he took action again, the poison would definitely erupt completely.
A strong killing intent flashed in Qin Chuan’s eyes. He had been hesitating to make a move in order to suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison within his body.
But these bastards from the Black Dragon Commerce Association were forcing him to go on a killing spree.
"Boom~"
Just as he was about to take action, the roaring sound of an engine echoed through the entire antique street.
A black Rolls Royce with a license plate bearing the number six thrice rushed forward, suddenly braking to a halt by the roadside.
Tian Bin’s face changed drastically when he saw the car, and he bellowed urgently, "Everyone, stop!"
The sixteen experts of the Black Dragon Commerce Association promptly halted.
Tian Bin hurried over to the precious luxury car, slightly bending his body as he awaited the arrival of the person inside.
At that moment, the secretary sitting in the passenger seat got out first and opened the rear car door.
A beautiful woman dressed in a black ladies’ suit stepped out of the car.
"Hello, President!"
Tian Bin’s face was full of respect as he said with a beaming smile, "As soon as I received your order, I rushed over immediately."
The woman in the black suit was none other than the president of the East Sea Black Dragon Commerce Association, Ye Qingwan!
Ye Qingwan didn’t pay any attention to Tian Bin but instead swept her gaze around and asked in a cold voice, "Who is Bald Liu?"
When Bald Liu heard Ye Qingwan looking for him, he was overjoyed. Being remembered by the respected Zhu Yeqing, whose name resounded throughout East Sea Province, was a huge delight! However, why did that voice sound so familiar? It was as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Ye Qingwan had only assumed the position of the president of the East Sea Province Black Dragon Commerce Association a month ago.
Apart from a few senior executives of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, there weren’t many who had actually seen Ye Qingwan.
"President, I am Bald Liu!"
Bald Liu hurriedly ran up, grovelling like a fawning dog.
Tian Bin’s face took on an unsightly expression; he was unclear about what Ye Qingwan wanted with Bald Liu.
If it was to promote Bald Liu, then he was in big trouble.
After all, he had just forcibly taken possession of the valuable Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood a moment ago.
If Bald Liu became a favored figure by Ye Qingwan’s side, then he would be in danger.
"Slap!"
At that moment, a crisp slap resonated throughout the antique street.
A bright red handprint appeared on Bald Liu’s face, swelling at a visible rate, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Bald Liu stood still, not daring to move an inch, and cautiously asked, "President, did I do something wrong?"
"Slap!"
Ye Qingwan delivered another heavy slap, hitting the exact same spot as before.
Bald Liu stumbled, nearly falling over, his mouth filled with blood as several teeth were knocked out.
Ye Qingwan shook her somewhat sore hand and instructed the bodyguard behind her, "You do it. Keep hitting him until he can no longer speak."
"Yes!"
The burly bodyguard started swinging left and right across Bald Liu’s face.
"Smack smack smack..."
The sharp sound of slaps deeply jarred the hearts of everyone present.
After a few more hits, Bald Liu’s mouth was full of blood.
He was on the verge of crying. What had he done to deserve this torture by Zhu Yeqing?
Ye Qingwan walked straight to Qin Chuan and then, in front of everyone’s shocked gazes, said with an apologetic face, "Mr. Qin, I’m sorry!"
Having said that, she bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.
