    Chapter 182: You Brought It On Yourself!

    “Fine, twelve thousand is twelve thousand! I’ll buy it, do you have your card number? Just transfer it directly!”

    The 500,000 had instantly been reduced to 120,000, and Shen Fei knew exactly why.

    It was all because of the appearance of Huang Jing and the others.

    However, Shen Fei didn’t mind. No matter how much the other party demanded, in front of this Tuluo Sutra, it was not worth mentioning.

    Of course, if it weren’t for Huang Jing and the others, this antique dealer would have attempted to scam him.

    Therefore, Shen Fei had no intention of giving the antique dealer more money out of kindness.

    “Huh? Okay! I… I have it!”

    The antique dealer was stunned when he heard this.

    He really hadn’t expected the other party to agree so readily to his offer.

    But being able to sell the dirty object in his hand made him very happy.

    He quickly took out a piece of paper with the bank card number written on it and handed it to Shen Fei.

    Shen Fei took it, signed the transaction paper, and transferred the 120,000 to the antique dealer.

    The whole process was smooth and quick.

    “Tch, impressive! Mr. Huang, your eye for things isn’t that great, huh? Not to mention that this thing isn’t even a real Tuluo Sutra, but just a rag that looks like a shroud! And you let your lackey spend 120,000 on it! Not even ashamed! What a fool!”

    Seeing Shen Fei spend 120,000 on a piece of rag, Liu Rulie was shocked at first, but quickly regained his composure and sneered in disdain.

    Huang Jing’s expression was also displeased.

    However, because of the other party’s status, he didn’t dare to retaliate easily.

    But he did agree with Liu Rulie’s words. This cloth did indeed look like a shroud.

    But wasn’t the Tuluo Sutra also known as the “Shroud of Rebirth”?

    The scriptures on it were related to life and death, after all.

    Such an item, anyone who collected it would think it could affect their luck!

    “What did you have for breakfast today? Just spouting nonsense all over?”

    Seeing this person call him a lackey, Shen Fei could no longer tolerate it. With a cold face, he retorted.

    Now, he was certain that this person was at odds with Vanke Group.

    But no matter how much they were at odds, it was unacceptable to mock the other person by belittling him!

    He was here to help, not to be insulted!

    “You!”

    Liu Rulie was caught off guard by Shen Fei’s response.

    He hadn’t expected Shen Fei to fire back at him.

    “What ‘you’?! Even if I’m bad, I’m still better than a scum like you!” Shen Fei snapped back.

    “You… you… you…”

    These words made Liu Rulie so angry he scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to find a harsher retort.

    Unable to think of a good comeback, he grew even angrier and reached for Shen Fei’s face.

    “Damn, who do you think you are?”

    If the other person was a powerful figure in Shenzhen, he would have accepted it.

    But the other party was just a lackey of Huang Jing, and he dared to be so arrogant?

    This was unbearable!

    However, before Liu Rulie’s slap could land even 5 centimeters from Shen Fei’s face, Shen Fei kicked him out.

    Liu Rulie was unprepared and was kicked back, gritting his teeth in pain and stumbling backward, holding his stomach.

    “Young Master Liu!”

    The lively hall immediately fell silent.

    Only the security guards could be heard shouting in panic.

    But it wasn’t like in those dramatic novels, where a group of people would swarm. The security guards just surrounded Liu Rulie.

    “You brought it on yourself!” Shen Fei coldly looked at Liu Rulie, who was sitting on the ground.

    “Good, good! You really are a man!”

    Liu Rulie, who was helped up, gasped in pain, glaring fiercely at Shen Fei.

    In front of so many people, how could he swallow this humiliation?

    But with everyone watching, he couldn’t just attack Shen Fei anymore!

    If it got out that the young heir of the Liu family attacked a commoner at an antique exhibition, it would definitely not have a positive effect on the Liu family!

    “Young Master Liu, do you want to pick a fight with him now and kick him out?” One of the security guards whispered.

    “Hmph! No need! Just leave him here!” Liu Rulie rubbed his sore stomach and frowned.

    “Young Master Liu, this antique fair was organized by your Liu Group, and we from Vanke Group were invited by you! Is this how you treat us? If you didn’t want us here, you could have just said it, no need for this!” Huang Jing also couldn’t stand it and spoke out loudly.

    “Mr. Huang, you’re joking. Our Liu Group is very welcoming to Vanke Group!” Liu Rulie smiled coldly, his expression insincere.

    “Alright! Since Young Master Liu has said so, let’s not waste any more time. Take us to the official auction!” Huang Jing said.

    “…Fine! Mr. Huang, please follow me!” Liu Rulie said.

    Afterward, when no one was paying attention, Liu Rulie made a throat-cutting gesture.

    Shen Fei merely smirked, not concerned.

    Under Liu Rulie’s sullen leadership, everyone followed him to a more secluded part of the hall.

    Liu Rulie pushed open a red wooden door, and inside, the space was a different world.

    Not only was the environment inside incredibly elegant, but the antiques were also thousands of times more valuable than those outside!

    Clearly, those who could enter this area to view the antiques were of much higher status than those outside.

    Inside, there were many top-notch appraisers from China as well as high-ranking officials and tycoons from Shenzhen.

    Upon seeing this, Huang Jing’s expression darkened.

    Now, he realized that Liu Rulie’s actions earlier were just toying with them!

    “Hmm? Little Shen, you’re here too?”

    A calm voice rang out, and Shen Fei felt someone pat his shoulder lightly.

    It was Jiang Tiancheng’s father, the chairman of Shengxing Real Estate, Jiang Shengcai!

    “Hello, Uncle Jiang!” Shen Fei was a bit surprised to see Jiang Shengcai.

    “Good, good, good!” Jiang Shengcai greeted, but when he saw the people from Vanke Group behind Shen Fei, he was startled.

    “What’s going on here?”

    Before Shen Fei could speak, Liu Rulie asked suspiciously, “Uncle Jiang, do you know him?”

    “Yeah, he’s a good friend of my foolish son. Even my old man likes this kid!” Jiang Shengcai laughed heartily.

    Upon hearing this, Liu Rulie was stunned.

    He was sure that the “old man” Jiang Shengcai mentioned was Jiang Anbang.

    But he had just…
