"What's his background?" Li Yang asked curiously.
Qin Yuliang chuckled coldly a few times before replying, "The Vice Chairman of Tang Group, the Descending Tiger, Tang Hucheng!"
"He's a tough one!"
"Oh," Li Yang paused for a moment, then his face broke into a bright smile as he said, "So it's him. We're on very good terms, he definitely won't shut down my shop."
"You're on good terms? Haha, that's hilarious! You, worthy of that?" Qin Yuliang said dismissively, not believing him at all.
Li Yang replied, "We're really close. If you don't believe me, I'll introduce you later."
"Alright, let's see how close you are then." Qin Yuliang sneered. Kid, boast all you want now. When that fierce tiger arrives, he'll surely devour all your boasts!
In a teahouse not far away, Lin Lan and her daughter Su Qianqian were leaning by the window, observing Li Yang's situation.
Suddenly, they saw several Hongqi sports cars drive over. Su Qianqian immediately smiled, "They're finally here. This Li Yang is going to have terrible luck."
"It would be best if they beat him to death. That way, it would be a way to vent our frustration after days of fruitless searching!" Lin Lan said coldly, her eyes fixed on the Hongqi sports cars.
Seeing the cars arrive, Qin Yuliang's face lit up with joy. He had suffered a crushing defeat in his encounters with Li Yang these past two days, and today he would finally see Li Yang suffer!
"Welcome, Vice Chairman of Tang Group, Chairman Tang!"
"Who are you?" Tang Hucheng got out of the car and glanced at him suspiciously.
Qin Yuliang immediately said, "I am..."
"Enough, it doesn't matter who you are. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"I, I have nothing."
"Then why are you shouting?" Tang Hucheng glared at him sternly.
Qin Yuliang's face immediately turned pale. He never imagined his flattery would fall flat. He took a few steps back, nodding, "Yes, yes."
Then he turned to look at Li Yang. Kid, it's your turn to suffer!
Lin Lan and her daughter on the second floor also became excited. Su Qianqian had even prepared a high-definition camera specifically for today's event, pointing it at Li Yang.
To their surprise, Li Yang showed no panic. Instead, he walked confidently to Tang Hucheng, extended a hand, and smiled, "Uncle Two, hello."
Uncle Two?
Has this kid gone mad!
One surnamed Li, the other surnamed Tang. It's not the Tang Dynasty, and these two surnames are completely unrelated now. How dare he claim kinship so casually?
Hahaha!
You kid are really asking for death!
Qin Yuliang almost burst out laughing.
But in the next moment, he was so scared he almost knelt on the ground.
Tang Hucheng, who had a stern expression, was all smiles when facing Li Yang. He shook his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "Why are you here, kid?"
"To be honest, Uncle Two, this shop is owned by my family," Li Yang said, pointing to the Li Hao Antique Shop behind him.
Tang Hucheng asked in surprise, "What? Your family's shop? Do you know two women, one named Lin Lan and the other named Su Qianqian?"
"Uncle Two, this is exactly what I'm about to explain. This Su Qianqian is my ex-wife whom I chose unwisely. She played dirty tricks behind my back and occupied my family's shop a while ago. I only got it back a few days ago," Li Yang explained, glancing at Qin Yuliang. "Look, if it weren't for this fellow coming here today to gloat, wanting to see me beaten to death by you, Uncle Two, and talking about the Imperial Jade, I wouldn't even know what happened before."
"I see. Since it's your shop, Uncle Two won't touch a single brick, nor will he let anyone else touch it," Tang Hucheng nodded, his gaze shifting to Qin Yuliang.
"Are you here to mock my nephew-in-law?"
"Ah, no, no, Chairman Tang. I didn't know you were related. Otherwise, I would never have dared." Qin Yuliang's face turned ashen, his mind completely blank.
How could this be!
Tang Hucheng said coldly, "I don't care what misunderstanding you had. Wanting to harm my nephew-in-law is a proven fact."
"Either you slap yourself a hundred times, or I'll have my men do it for you."
"Hmph." Several burly bodyguards stepped forward, staring at him coldly.
Qin Yuliang immediately knelt on the ground, "I'll slap myself, I'll do it myself."
"Then hurry up and slap yourself!"
"Yes, I'll slap myself now!"
Qin Yuliang raised his hand and slapped his own mournful face, the sound echoing. He dared not slack off in the slightest, fearing that Tang Hucheng wouldn't even give him the chance to slap himself.
Seeing this, Su Qianqian and Lin Lan's faces changed drastically.
"What's going on? Did this kid Li Yang know Tang Hucheng before?"
"That's impossible, Mom. I knew who Li Yang associated with all these years. It's absolutely impossible for a big shot like Tang Hucheng to be familiar with him!" Su Qianqian said nervously. "Otherwise, Mom, think about it, could we have taken over the Li family's business?"
"When something happened, wouldn't Li Yang have sought his help to deal with us?"
"Then tell me, why is Tang Hucheng helping him discipline Qin Yuliang?" Lin Lan said with some fear.
If Tang Hucheng could help him discipline Qin Yuliang, he could also help him discipline them, the mother and daughter.
Su Qianqian grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, don't panic. It must be that Li Yang just told Tang Hucheng that he'd give him the Imperial Jade and not even settle the remaining payment, which is why Tang Hucheng is helping him."
"Yes, yes, yes, how did I not think of that?" Lin Lan realized with sudden clarity.
Su Qianqian sneered, "Mom, let's keep a close eye on Li Yang now. It's best to find some people to snatch the Imperial Jade on the way. That way, Li Yang won't be able to account for it, and Tang Hucheng will surely make him pay."
"And then we'll take the Imperial Jade and leave Jiangcheng to live a better life as rich ladies."
"Hahaha, it's my daughter who has the ideas. Let's keep an eye on him." Lin Lan nodded joyfully.
However, when the two vicious mother and daughter turned their heads, they saw Li Yang pointing at them and talking to Tang Hucheng.
"Uncle Two, those two women are hiding over there. They're probably here to watch my misfortune," Li Yang said with a smile. "They definitely won't be able to produce the Imperial Jade."
"Since that's the case, then I'll go settle the score with them." Tang Hucheng said with a cold face, instructing a few bodyguards, "You go over and bring those two women here."
"Yes." Several bodyguards immediately ran towards the teahouse.
Seeing this, Lin Lan and Su Qianqian's faces changed drastically, and they were both terrified.
Lin Lan cried out, "This is bad, they saw us. Let's escape through the back door quickly."
"Damn Li Yang, for framing us like this, I'll make him pay tenfold in the future!" Su Qianqian gritted her teeth and said.
