"Li Yang, you dare to lay a hand on me?"
Qin Kun underestimated Li Yang. He endured the pain and got up from the ground, pointing at Li Yang and roaring, "You dog, if I don't beat you to a pulp today, my name isn't Qin."
"Someone come here, all of you, attack him! Teach Li Yang a serious lesson!"
"Yes, Brother Kun."
As soon as the words fell, two of Qin Kun's subordinates rushed over from the stairs. He had brought people today specifically to snatch Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi dared to resist, he would force her into the car and consummate the marriage on the spot.
Once he had Zhou Yi, he wasn't afraid she wouldn't accept his pursuit.
However, he hadn't expected to encounter Li Yang, this obstacle, before he could even get Zhou Yi.
He immediately decided to take down Li Yang first!
*Boom!*
With a deafening explosion of fists, the two subordinates who had reached Li Yang were instantly sent flying!
They landed sprawled on the ground, several of their ribs shattered.
Qin Kun's eyes went blank at the sight!
He stared at Li Yang's fist in disbelief, as if watching a sci-fi movie, completely unable to comprehend how Li Yang had done it.
"Qin Kun, the world is not what you think it is anymore. Also, you mentioned wanting the treasure of my shop earlier? Since you said it, you have to follow through. I have a treasure worth tens of millions in my shop."
"If you pay to buy it today, I'll let you off. Otherwise, I'll settle all our old scores from school, once and for all," Li Yang said, glaring at him with icy eyes.
"You... You dare to threaten me!"
Qin Kun's eyes turned cold as he looked at Li Yang and said, "Let me tell you, I have Master Wei backing me now. Do you know who Master Wei is? He's the number one figure in Jiangcheng's antique circle. A single spit from him could drown you."
"Number one figure? Sounds very impressive."
Li Yang couldn't help but sneer. The entire territory of the first street belonged to Lou Dong.
The Master Wei he mentioned must be one of Boss Lou's subordinates.
This Qin Kun thought he had hitched himself to a big shot, but he didn't realize he was lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
"Scared, aren't you? I advise you, if you know fear, it's not too late to kneel down now, lick my shoes clean, and beg for mercy."
"Otherwise, I won't let you off easily. With just one call from me, you and your shop will be finished," Qin Kun declared confidently.
"You're going to be disappointed again. Even if you bring the person behind you, he'll have to be respectful to me. I, Li Yang, am someone you cannot afford to offend now," Li Yang said dismissively.
"Haha, you brag without blushing. How dare you compare yourself to Master Wei?"
Qin Kun, unwilling to back down from Li Yang's arrogance, took out his phone and called Master Wei.
Li Yang checked the time, thinking that Lou Dong should be arriving soon.
He wasn't worried at all. If Lou Dong arrived later and saw his subordinates acting so brazenly, it would be quite amusing.
"Who dares to offend my brother?"
Five to six minutes later, another man walked into the antique shop. He was Master Wei, the big shot behind Qin Kun.
Li Yang looked back and saw that Master Wei was portly and round, clearly having profited greatly in the past.
As he approached, Qin Kun's face lit up, and he blurted out, "Master Wei, you're finally here! This kid here doesn't respect you at all. When I mentioned you, he actually said you'd have to be respectful to him."
"Hmph, utterly arrogant. There are very few people in Jiangcheng who dare to speak to me so disrespectfully. Don't worry, I'll avenge this for you today."
Yang Wei snorted coldly, stepped forward, and glared at Li Yang, saying, "It's you, kid, who dared to speak disrespectfully to me? Do you know that I, Master Wei, am known for killing people like flies? Are you tired of living?"
"Yang Wei, aren't you afraid your boss will come after you? Didn't Lou Dong tell you to be low-key in the antique world?" Li Yang asked disdainfully.
He knew that Lou Dong was a person who preferred to keep a low profile, and his primary rule for his subordinates would certainly be to remain discreet.
"Kid, you dare to call my boss by his name. You're truly audacious. Today, I'll teach you a good lesson on behalf of Boss Lou."
As soon as Yang Wei finished speaking, he clenched his fists and gestured, signaling his men to charge forward.
Li Yang frowned, ready to unleash his full power and show them his might. However, before he could make a move, a stern voice echoed from a distance: "All of you, stop!"
"Boss?"
Turning around, Yang Wei saw his boss, Lou Dong, walking towards them, which greatly surprised him.
Qin Kun was even more bewildered. What was going on?
Could Li Yang possibly know the boss behind Master Wei? What right did this kid have to have such high status in Jiangcheng?
This must be a misunderstanding!
"Yang Wei, what are you doing here?"
Lou Dong, unaware of what had happened, walked over and asked his subordinate sternly.
"Boss, the person in charge of this antique shop is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and dared to disrespect you. I'm teaching him a lesson on your behalf. In Jiangcheng, I absolutely will not allow anyone to be disrespectful to you," Yang Wei declared confidently.
"The person you're talking about is Mr. Li?" Lou Dong asked with stern eyes.
"Mr. Li?"
Yang Wei looked at Li Yang in confusion. He didn't know Li Yang's name yet and couldn't help but ask Qin Kun, "What's this kid's name?"
"His name is Li Yang!" Qin Kun whispered.
"Holy cow!"
Yang Wei's heart sank, and he instantly had a bad premonition. Could what this kid said be true?
"Boss Lou, you've come at the right time. Your subordinate is causing trouble here. I was just about to call you to hurry over," Li Yang said with a smile as he walked up to Lou Dong.
"Mr. Li, I sincerely apologize. It's all my fault for not managing my subordinates properly. Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly," Lou Dong replied in a panic. He slowly regained his composure, his eyes filled with rage. He walked up to Yang Wei and slapped him across the face on the spot!
Yang Wei was tragically knocked to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Without the slightest hesitation, he got up and knelt before Lou Dong, saying, "Boss, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't know Mr. Li was your friend. Please punish me."
"Hmph, what use is it for me to keep a good-for-nothing like you? Mr. Li is my esteemed guest. You damn fool, how dare you cause trouble for Mr. Li."
"Break both your arms immediately and apologize to Mr. Li," Lou Dong commanded coldly.
"What? Break my own arms? Boss, please spare me. I need these hands for appraising treasures. If I lose my hands, how can I contribute to you in the future?" Yang Wei stammered, terrified, kowtowing repeatedly.
"You offended Mr. Li and still want to stay by my side? You must be dreaming. From now on, you are fired. You are forbidden from entering the antique circle again, or I will turn you into a corpse," Lou Dong said coldly.
