"Boss Yue, from now on you’ll be one of my bosses, so there’s no need for such formality," Yang Yu said with a smile. "By the way, I can cleanse this Ancient Jade Buddha of its Evil Energy, turning it into a truly auspicious object, but the price is a bit steep—ten million. If the buyer is interested, feel free to contact me anytime."
Yang Yu’s demand was not excessive at all; after all, the Jade Buddha had been auctioned for a billion, so his fee of ten million was not much in comparison.
Yang Yu gave his mobile number to Yue Zhongren and then prepared to leave with Mrs. Shen.
Just as they were about to walk to the hall, a man caught up with them: "Excuse me, madam, please wait a moment."
"Are you calling me?" Mrs. Shen looked the man up and down with a puzzled expression, "What is it?"
The man was in his fifties, but his figure was exceptionally well-maintained, lacking any sign of plumpness, and he appeared very refreshed overall.
"Allow me to introduce myself; I am Sun Chen from the Sun Family on Xiang Island," Sun Chen said with impeccable manners that displayed the demeanor of someone from a great family. "To be honest with you, I fell in love with you at first sight. Would you accept my gift?"
As he spoke, Sun Chen brought out a box—it was the Golden Phoenix Crown from the previous auction!
If it had been another woman, she would have been overjoyed, but Mrs. Shen’s face showed disgust, "What? You want to start an extramarital twilight romance with me? Get lost!"
"Mrs. Shen, please don’t misunderstand," Sun Chen hurriedly explained, "I have never been married and am still single. I’ve had someone look into you and I know that you have been a widow for over ten years. If you are willing to date, it is not inconceivable that we could end up getting married."
"Not interested!" Mrs. Shen refused without hesitation, "Yang Yu, let’s go."
"Okay," Yang Yu followed Mrs. Shen and they left together, while Sun Chen did not persist further, his face showing resolute determination: "One day, I will personally place this phoenix crown on your head at our wedding!"
Once in the car, Mrs. Shen spoke indignantly, "Do I look like I can’t live without a man?"
"Not at all," Yang Yu smiled slightly while driving, "But it’s not that he meant anything else, he just genuinely likes you, that’s all."
"I don’t care for it," Mrs. Shen said arrogantly, "The wealth my late husband left me is more than enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime. I don’t need to find another man to annoy me."
Yang Yu just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
His skill in physiognomy was very accurate, and Mrs. Shen’s romance luck had just shown up, hadn’t it?
There was no helping it; who would have thought his future mother-in-law would be so beautiful? Sigh!
An hour later, Yang Yu parked the car near Shen’s House, "You can get out here, madam."
"Isn’t there still a stretch of several dozen meters to go?" Mrs. Shen grumbled, "Drive the car over there, otherwise what if I encounter danger on the way?"
"I’m skilled in fortune-telling; you won’t run into any more danger today," Yang Yu said, "Please get out, I have an urgent matter to attend to."
Yang Yu wasn’t lying; Yu Li had just sent him a message to come to the police station, so he had to hurry over.
"Hmph, I’m not going," Mrs. Shen sat in the back seat, crossing her legs with defiance, "Either drive the car there, or carry me over, it’s your call!"
"At your age, why are you more troublesome than the young girls?" Yang Yu was really annoyed, but he obediently drove the car up to the doorstep of Shen’s House.
Mrs. Shen finally got out of the car with satisfaction and turned back to her house.
"Yo, big sister, did you just get yourself a young and strong pretty boy?" A middle-aged woman with high cheekbones, thin lips, and a face full of sarcasm came out from inside, "And you even got him a Cayenne, that’s truly losing face for our Shen Family. Big sister, you should at least get your pretty boy a Cullinan!"
Yang Yu really didn’t want to get involved in the Shen Family’s domestic dispute and was about to leave when a car suddenly rammed into his from behind.
Yang Yu’s Cayenne was rear-ended, and the car lurched forward several meters.
Just as Yang Yu was about to get out, another car drove up from the front and rammed directly into the front of Yang Yu’s car.
With another "bang," the front of Yang Yu’s car was smashed into flying pieces.
Yang Yu got out of the car and before he could lose his temper, a man jumped out from each of the two cars, both charging at Yang Yu aggressively from front and back: "Which dog’s crap car is this parked at the Shen’s house? Looking for death!"
Without any dialogue, they swung their fists straight toward Yang Yu’s face.
"Want to fight? Heh, heh." Yang Yu sneered and kicked them in their stomachs.
With two "bangs," both men flew several meters backward, landing on all fours like frogs, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood: "Puh—"
"Si Rui, Si Chong!" The mean-spirited woman’s face changed drastically, and she screamed, "Someone help! The pretty boy kept by the big sister is committing violence at the gate of Shen’s house!"
At the woman’s cry, a large group of people ran out from inside.
An old woman led the way, followed by a group of filial sons and grandsons and a dozen bodyguards.
Seeing the old woman coming, the mean-spirited woman immediately rushed over and knelt on the ground, wailing loudly: "Mother, the big sister has gone too far! She brought a wild man to our Shen’s house, it’s a slap in the face for our Shen Family! Si Rui and Si Chong wanted to teach that wild man a lesson, but he beat them until they vomited blood. Mother, you must stand up for us!"
"You despicable woman, you killed my eldest son, refused to leave after taking the money, and pretended to abide by your womanly virtues, clinging to our Shen Family. Now you’ve finally revealed your true colors, haven’t you?" The old woman’s deep-set eyes emanated malice, "Someone! Break this wild man’s limbs for me and throw him in the trash heap!"
Mrs. Shen hurriedly stepped in front of Yang Yu, shouting, "Mother-in-law, he’s just a driver Xiao Lin found for me, not what you think!"
With Mrs. Shen blocking the way, the bodyguards stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward, which enraged the old woman even more, and she bellowed, "Get out of the way! Or I’ll beat you too!"
"Mrs. Shen, you don’t need to explain, they know I would bring you back, they were clearly waiting for you!" Yang Yu chuckled, pulling Mrs. Shen aside, "I’m not a Shen, you don’t have to block for me, I’ll solve my own problems. They smashed my car and didn’t pay, I wasn’t planning to let them off!"
Seeing Yang Yu daring to face more than a dozen of the Shen Family’s bodyguards alone, a sly triumphant smile flickered across the mean-spirited woman’s face.
"What are you still standing there for?" The old woman roared, "He dared to hit my precious grandsons, I’m going to make sure he can’t move his arms and legs for the rest of his life!"
More than a dozen bodyguards rushed up and attacked Yang Yu.
They were brutal, targeting the throat, head, heart, and ribs.
From the looks of it, they weren’t just trying to cripple Yang Yu; they had murderous intent!
