Even in his own villa, Lin Shiyou felt as though he was half a step away from prison.
At that moment, Lin Shiyou’s phone rang.
“Shiyou, I heard about the peregrine falcon. I’m on my way!”
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Hailin’s anxious voice came through.
Wang Hailin was the one who found the ornithology expert, so he naturally received news about Lin Shiyou’s peregrine falcon collection.
When he first heard, Wang Hailin was equally astonished.
Lin Shiyou had been raising birds for so many years, and this was the first time something like this had happened.
And Ye Yun had actually deduced it!
The bird was only recently acquired, and he figured it out on the same day?
“Uncle Wang, hurry over! When you get here, we’ll go straight to the urban village in the south of the city!”
“Alright!”
The call ended.
A gust of wind blew, and Lin Shiyou, a rich second-generation who feared nothing, felt his legs turn to jelly.
“First he predicted that Wang Wenwen would have an accident, then that Wang Meiling would have an accident, and later he pointed out that Uncle Wang would have an accident, and now it’s my turn, and he’s even predicted the peregrine falcon matter…”
“Ye Yun, Mr. Ye, who exactly is he? Is he a god?”
“This time, I owe him a huge favor!”
…
An hour later, the urban village in the south of the city.
“Didn’t you say you were coming at noon?”
Ye Yun looked curiously at Wang Hailin and Lin Shiyou at the door.
He was still unaware that Lin Shiyou had just skirted the edge of prison because of the peregrine falcon incident.
“Mr. Ye, thank you for your great kindness!”
“It turns out that one of the birds I collected is a national second-class protected animal, a peregrine falcon!”
“If you hadn’t reminded me, I, Lin Shiyou, would have probably spent at least ten years in detention, and my life would have been ruined!”
“There’s five million here. The password is six eights. It’s a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Mr. Ye!”
As soon as they entered, Lin Shiyou expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Ye Yun, and while speaking, he pressed a card into his hand.
As the naive son of a rich family, he was naturally grateful to Ye Yun to the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, Wang Hailin had also told him about Ye Yun’s situation on the way.
Three to five million wasn’t much for Lin Shiyou.
But for Ye Yun, it might be a significant sum.
Even though Ye Yun had just made eighty million from the Xiong’an County pedestrian street.
However.
Lin Shiyou simply wanted to express his gratitude, and Ye Yun understood this clearly.
But he wouldn’t accept the man’s money.
Accepting it would mean owing him a favor!
It was the same reason he didn’t accept the one hundred million from Wang Wenwen and the others, opting for eighty million instead.
What was a great act of saving him from prison for Lin Shiyou was merely a casual piece of advice for him.
He didn’t want to owe favors, and certainly wouldn’t!
The biggest favors he owed were to Meng Yao and Keke in his previous life, and paying them back in this life was the most important thing.
Furthermore, although five million wasn’t a small sum, he was currently short of money.
But with his clairvoyance for the next forty years, coupled with the development of the licorice medicine, would he care about a mere five million?
Ye Yun shook his head slightly and pushed the card back.
“Mr. Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept this money!”
“This is a big deal for you, but for me, it’s just a matter of opening my mouth.”
“To be frank, if I take your five million, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
“Mr. Ye, you must accept it.” The naive son of a rich family was quite stubborn.
“In our fortune-telling profession, we fear karma the most. You helped me resolve the matter of Meng Hai before, and our karma has been cleared. If I take five million now, we’ll incur new karma. I hope Mr. Lin doesn’t hinder my cultivation.”
Seeing Lin Shiyou’s strong attitude, Ye Yun had no choice but to attribute everything to fortune-telling.
The scapegoat nature of metaphysics was truly useful.
This…
Instantly, Lin Shiyou felt helpless.
He wanted to push the card into Ye Yun’s hand again, but at this moment, it felt inappropriate.
After all, Ye Yun had said so.
Such a highly cultivated master, whatever he said, would naturally be correct.
Even Wang Hailin, standing nearby, muttered to himself, wishing he could call out the person who gathered intelligence on Ye Yun and give them a good beating.
A metaphysical master who valued karma so much.
Would he be an irresponsible, drunken, gambling scoundrel?
What a load of nonsense!
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three of them first took Lin Shiyou’s car to eat.
Because Wang Hailin was with them today, Lin Shiyou didn’t drive his beloved “girl-charming” Lamborghini. Instead, he drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The three of them had a simple meal.
Of course, given Lin Shiyou’s status, even this so-called simple meal would cost a common person’s monthly salary.
Afterward, they drove directly to the antique auction house in the west of the city.
“Mr. Ye, when it comes to antiques, what dynasty do you have the most knowledge of?”
Lin Shiyou asked while steering the car.
“Who says I know about antiques? The Heavenly Blessed Treasures incident was just a hunch.” Ye Yun replied.
To be honest, he did know a little about antiques.
But in front of true connoisseurs, it was just superficial knowledge.
In the past, when he went to antique streets looking for bargains, he had indeed bought a few items, but that was basically paying for his own ignorance.
As for antiques worth millions or even hundreds of millions, he had never touched them.
Later in his life, after he became wealthy, the loss of his wife and daughter stimulated him greatly, causing him to become engrossed in his work and seek high-stimulation outlets.
He really didn’t have the mindset for things like antiques.
“Then why did you agree to come along?” Lin Shiyou asked instinctively.
Wang Hailin, standing beside him, also perked up his ears.
Such masters usually did things in mysterious ways; who knew if he already knew something!
Seeing their reactions, Ye Yun chuckled inwardly.
It seemed he couldn’t shake off his charlatan persona.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’ve studied antiques before, and I just wanted to broaden my horizons.”
However, upon hearing Ye Yun’s words.
Lin Shiyou and Wang Hailin, who should have been disappointed, exchanged glances.
They both saw two words in each other’s eyes.
Disbelief!
They both felt that if Ye Yun was willing to come, it must be more than just talk; he was here to make money!
In fact, the two of them were even a little excited.
They wanted to see what other miracles Ye Yun could create!
Although the roads in Jinling were quite congested, the auction house in the west of the city was not far from where Ye Yun was.
An hour later, they arrived.
It was a four-story, somewhat old building. The original white tiles on the exterior had turned grayish-white due to the erosion of time.
Above the entrance hung five large characters.
Jinling Auction House.
Although the building wasn’t impressive, even a bit run-down.
But after entering the parking lot, Ye Yun felt that the place was quite upscale.
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maybachs – cars that ordinary people rarely saw were everywhere.
Although there were also cars worth tens of thousands of yuan, they were likely the staff’s vehicles.
The Phantom stopped.
Lin Shiyou, who was already familiar with the place, led Ye Yun and Wang Hailin inside.
“Oh, Mr. Lin is here!”
“Mr. Lin, what have you got your eye on today?”
“Mr. Lin, you really spent a fortune last time, buying a fake for twenty million. You’re truly generous!”
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Wang? What brings you here?”
As soon as they entered, Ye Yun felt that the way others looked at Lin Shiyou was not right.
This…
Was he looking at a gullible fool?
