"Five thousand! Not expensive! I want this jade pendant! By the way, what kind of jade is this pendant made of?" The man in the big sunglasses picked up the pendant, took a look, and then took out five thousand yuan from the bag under his arm. He suddenly asked.
"Brother! Let me tell you, this is called Emperor Jade, it's very precious! It's said that very few people in the imperial palace are qualified to wear it. If my family wasn't in urgent need of money, I wouldn't sell it for anything!" The middle-aged uncle hurriedly picked up the jade pendant, took out a relatively exquisite small box from the worn schoolbag he was holding, and inside the small box was a piece of yellow silk cloth.
Lu Fan's eyes lit up. With the jade pendant placed in the box, it immediately felt more upscale.
"Emperor Jade!" The man in the sunglasses muttered, casually took out a stack of money, counted out five thousand, and handed it to the middle-aged man. Then he handed the jade pendant to the alluring woman beside him. The two gave Lu Fan a sideways glance, disdainfully moved aside, and left.
"Pa..." The middle-aged man's face was full of joy, and he snapped his fingers.
The sexy woman inside the jade shop behind him suddenly walked out, holding a jade bracelet and handing it to the middle-aged uncle.
The middle-aged uncle took it and placed it on the stall.
"Young man! This is just a useless nouveau riche, with plenty of money! If you wanted one, I'll give you another fifty off. You can pick one for three hundred yuan!" The middle-aged man said with a smile at Lu Fan.
"Uncle! You really have a lot of ancestral items!" Lu Fan chuckled, took out three hundred yuan from his pocket, threw it on the stall, and reached out to pick up the tiger zodiac.
After taking the tiger zodiac, Lu Fan turned and left the antique market. He took out the Spirit Gathering Bottle from his怀, took out the tiger zodiac... swoosh, the tiger zodiac was instantly swallowed by the Spirit Gathering Bottle.
"Hmm! I'll see the effect tomorrow!" Lu Fan happily put away the Spirit Gathering Bottle, went to the bus station, and got on the bus back to town.
Arriving at Fengyuan Town, he found his electric bike.
"Lu Fan!"
Suddenly a voice came over. Lu Fan looked back and saw Shen Xinyi.
"Sister Xinyi! What a coincidence!" Lu Fan's eyes lit up. Shen Xinyi, this great beauty, was not only beautiful but also heroic! They say looking at beautiful women is good for the eyes, and it's true.
"What a coincidence!" Shen Xinyi hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said, "Thank you!"
"Ah? Why thank me?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned and asked with a smile.
"As soon as I arrived in this town, I solved two cases, selling fake medicine and bicycle theft. Although they weren't major cases, they were good omens. So, I want to thank you!" Shen Xinyi said.
"Sister Xinyi! This is what I should do! See injustice and shout, strike when you should strike! Heh heh!" Lu Fan chuckled, and then suddenly said, "Sister Xinyi! How about we add each other on WeChat so we can keep in touch if anything comes up!"
"Okay!" Shen Xinyi immediately took out her phone.
The two added each other on WeChat, chatted casually for a couple of sentences, and then Lu Fan rode his electric bike back. He was in a very good mood all the way, humming a tune, feeling pleased with himself. Suddenly, Lu Fan noticed a black car slowly following him.
"Why is the car driving so slowly? There aren't many cars on the road." Lu Fan was a little puzzled, but it didn't seem to concern him. The electric bike continued to ride steadily.
Vroom... at a corner ahead, Lu Fan suddenly heard the sound of the car's engine behind him. He glanced at the rearview mirror and broke out in a cold sweat. He saw the black car suddenly accelerating towards him.
Lu Fan had a sudden bad premonition. He bent forward, gripping the handlebars with both hands, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.
"Yue..." Lu Fan suddenly exerted force with both legs and arms simultaneously, and his body instantly flipped backward in a somersault.
Bang... The electric bike was instantly knocked flying. Bang... Lu Fan flipped over the car and landed face down on the ground with a thud.
"Ugh...!" Lying flat on the ground, Lu Fan felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, making it difficult to breathe. Damn it! It seems this skill wasn't learned in a day.
Creak... With a sharp braking sound, the black car stopped not far ahead. A man and a woman got out of the car. The man wore big sunglasses, and the woman was dressed alluringly.
Lu Fan, lying on the ground, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Damn it! It was the same two people who bought the jade pendant! Two bastards! It seems they weren't just nouveau riche idiots.
"Brother Hu! Did you hit that bumpkin just now? Why do I feel like he flew off the car?" the alluring woman asked in surprise.
"Yaomei! If I hit him, he'll die; if I don't hit him, he'll die too! Hmph! We can just create another car accident scene." Brother Hu took off his big sunglasses, smiled coldly, and walked over to Lu Fan.
"What the hell! This kid is actually okay!" Seeing Lu Fan grimacing, Brother Hu looked surprised, squatted down, and carefully examined Lu Fan's face again and again. He was puzzled. How could a bumpkin from a mountain village... not be injured at all?
"Brother Hu! How should we kill him?" the alluring Yaomei asked from the side.
"Of course, with this...!" Swish, Brother Hu pulled out a hammer from behind him.
"Wait... wait... wait a minute! Big brother, big sister! Who are you people? I haven't offended you, have I? I didn't say anything even when you cursed me in the city! Why are you trying to kill me?" Lu Fan asked nervously, lying on the ground.
"Hahaha! This is truly a little bumpkin! So rustic that he's practically dirt! He's asking such a childish question." Brother Hu laughed heartily. "However, I don't have time to chat with you. This is on the road. Go to hell!"
Whoosh... Brother Hu swung the hammer towards Lu Fan's head.
Lu Fan quickly dodged his head to the side, then rolled away, and stood up with a whoosh.
Bang... The hammer hit the stones on the ground, splashing a few sparks.
"Bastard! You still want to kill me?" Lu Fan kicked towards Brother Hu.
"My god... I misjudged. This kid is actually quite difficult to deal with!" Brother Hu suddenly retreated, dodging Lu Fan's kick. His expression became cautious.
"Brother Hu! Don't bother with him for now, a car is coming!" Yaomei suddenly shouted from the side.
"Let's go!" Brother Hu was also startled, turned, and ran towards the car.
"Damn! You get back here!" Lu Fan leaped to chase.
Whoosh... Suddenly, the hammer in Brother Hu's hand flew towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan quickly dodged. Whoosh... the hammer flew past Lu Fan's head.
Whoosh... Brother Hu and Yaomei jumped into the car and fled.
"Two bastards! It seems they've been following me since the county town, and I didn't even notice!" Lu Fan stomped his foot hatefully and cursed.
