He took out his phone and called his backer, Shen Yunfeng, to report the bad news from the scene.
When Shen Yunfeng heard about it, his face instantly changed, and he flew into a rage!
"What did you say? You brought so many people, and you still couldn't smash that kid's shop?"
Shen Yunfeng thought today's plan was foolproof, but he never expected it to fail.
His eyes were cold, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I know. Leave the next steps to me. I have my own ways to deal with him!"
"Alright, Young Master Shen. By the way, I was injured by him today and extorted two hundred million. What about this money..." The appraiser's eyes rolled, and he hinted at Shen Yunfeng again.
"What do you mean? The money you lost yourself, what does that have to do with me?"
Shen Yunfeng's face was stern, and he said directly, "It's already considered mercy that I haven't settled the score for your failed mission, yet you dare to ask me for money?"
"Young Master Shen, I was bullied by that kid precisely because I was helping you complete the mission. Even if you don't cover it all, at least cover half of it, right? After all, I've worked for you, and I deserve credit for my efforts." The appraiser continued.
"Get lost, you old fossil! You only helped me appraise a few treasures. Without you, my father could still live. If you don't want to stay with the Shen family, you can leave now. Don't contact me again."
After Shen Yunfeng finished speaking, he hung up the phone on the spot and ignored him further.
He suddenly felt wronged. He was clearly doing a job for someone else, but Shen Yunfeng was so heartless!
He had lost a full two hundred million, money he would never earn back even if he worked until he died.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to return to the provincial capital to find his senior brother and have him avenge him!
As long as he could get revenge on Li Yang, he could get all this money back.
With this thought, he immediately took action, not returning to the Shen family, but driving directly back to the provincial capital.
Before he left, he also persuaded the bodyguards not to follow Shen Yunfeng anymore, saying that following him would eventually cost them their lives without any reward.
"Hello, who is this?"
Li Yang had just returned to his office when he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. He answered curiously and asked.
"Li Yang, you have quite the nerve, actually not having my many dispatched experts destroy your shop."
Shen Yunfeng's voice came from the other end, his tone threatening, "I'll give you ten minutes. Bring the antique shop's transfer agreement and come to the designated location to meet me in person."
"If you're even a minute late, your beloved Fang Xiaoqing will belong to me. She is currently in my hands."
"What did you say?"
Li Yang's heart jolted, and he frowned, asking, "You kidnapped Xiaoqing?"
"Brother Li Yang, hurry and save me. He's captured me and brought me to a secluded place."
Fang Xiaoqing's voice quickly came from the phone. At this moment, Li Yang was certain that Fang Xiaoqing was indeed with Shen Yunfeng.
His anger surged instantly, and he roared at Shen Yunfeng, "Shen Yunfeng, I warn you, you'd better not touch her. If you dare to harm her even a single hair, I will make sure you have no place to be buried!"
"Heh heh, then come and find her. Remember what I said, bring the transfer agreement of your shop, and come here personally to beg me."
Shen Yunfeng hung up after speaking and directly sent Li Yang a location.
After receiving the location, Li Yang didn't hesitate and immediately set off to rescue her.
As he was leaving, he happened to run into Qian Long. Seeing how anxious he was, Qian Long asked curiously, "Master, where are you going? Is there something urgent?"
"A friend of mine is in trouble, and I need to go find him. You're here at the right time, quickly print me a transfer agreement for the antique shop," Li Yang instructed.
"What? A shop transfer agreement? Master, you're not thinking of selling this shop, are you? That's absolutely not allowed!"
Qian Long's eyes widened, and he said to Li Yang, "If you're in any trouble and need money, Master, you can tell me. I'll transfer money to you right away. You absolutely cannot transfer the shop."
"If you transfer the shop, how will I learn my craft here in the future? I won't have the opportunity to become an excellent appraiser."
"Don't worry, I just need you to play a role. I don't need you to print a real transfer agreement. Just a random document to appease the other party. If I go to that person empty-handed, my friend will be lost," Li Yang explained earnestly.
"Master, who exactly is targeting your friend? This person is truly overconfident. If you trust me, Master, you can tell me his identity. I'm confident I can quickly make him apologize to you," Qian Long said seriously.
"It's unlikely to make him apologize. That kind of person deserves a lesson. You can't help me,"
Li Yang explained casually, then urged Qian Long to help him print the document.
A moment later, Li Yang received a document and immediately bid farewell to Qian Long, leaving the antique shop and heading towards the direction indicated on the map.
Qian Long watched Li Yang's receding back, stroking his chin and thinking to himself: Master is leaving in such a hurry, it seems something big has happened.
This is a good opportunity for me to show myself. If I can seize this chance to gain Master's favor, perhaps he will teach me his top-notch appraisal and medical skills without reservation.
With this thought, his face showed a very happy expression.
Without a word, he immediately gathered a group of his subordinates and told them to follow Li Yang behind him.
Ten minutes later.
Li Yang drove and arrived first at a mountain forest on the western outskirts of Jiangcheng. He got out of the car and looked at the lush green trees ahead, a hint of doubt rising in his heart. He wondered if Xiaoqing would be held inside.
He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but after repeatedly comparing the map's location, he found it was indeed in the forest.
He knew that Shen Yunfeng's request for him to come here was definitely not with good intentions, so the forest might be rigged with traps he had prepared in advance.
Out of caution, Li Yang entered the forest very carefully.
With every step he took forward, his gaze would carefully scan the surroundings, and he would simultaneously listen intently to the sounds around him.
If there was anything unusual, he would immediately stop, hide in secret, and investigate the truth before continuing, lest he fall into Shen Yunfeng's trap.
"Where is Li Yang now?"
Shen Yunfeng, sitting in a room, checked the time and felt that Li Yang should have arrived at the forest. He called a subordinate and asked.
"Young Master Shen, Li Yang has arrived at the forest. He is not going in the correct direction, but rather into a dense forest with poisonous formations."
"Our hired experts have already set up ambushes inside, and danger is everywhere. Once he steps into it, he will surely face certain death!" the subordinate reported respectfully.
