Chen Yuanzhong narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ye Fengwu for a few seconds. He then turned to look at the female clerk beside him and said in a deep voice, "Bring out the receipt."
Upon hearing this, the female clerk was somewhat at a loss. She steeled herself and said, "Mr. Chen...this is...out of thin air..."
Slap!
Before the female clerk could finish speaking, Chen Yuanzhong gave her a fierce slap. The slap made the female clerk fall to the ground. A blood-red palm print instantly appeared on her face which was caked with thick makeup.
"Bring it out," said Chen Yuanzhong's faint voice.
The female clerk no longer dared to say anything. She crawled and rolled to the counter.
In less than a few minutes, the female clerk, with half her face swollen, took out a receipt and went to Qin Qinghan.
"Miss...here is your receipt. I'm sorry," the female clerk said with a trembling body. She did not even dare to raise her eyes to look at Qin Qinghan. Tears as large as beans rolled down her eyes.
Although this kind of woman was not worth any sympathy, Qin Qinghan still felt compassion.
After looking at the receipt, Qin Qinghan raised her eyes and said to Chen Yuanzhong, "I sold the ring for 20,000 yuan. If I were to redeem it back within a month, you would only charge 10% commission. "
As she spoke, Qin Qinghan took out 30,000 yuan in cash from her bag and said, "This is 30,000 yuan. Consider the extra money as compensation for the repairs to your door. Please return the ring to me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengwu's expression immediately darkened.
Qin Qinghan also did not quite believe it and said, "How could this be such a coincidence? It was just a high imitation ring worth 20,000 yuan."
Hearing Qin Qinghan's words, Ye Fengwu frowned at her, then looked towards Chen Yuanzhong and said with disdain, "It seems the ring is indeed not in this shop. Since you have failed to keep your word to a customer, there should be penalties right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhong smiled faintly and said to the female clerk, "Go inside and take 100,000 yuan in cash to this young lady."
The three bodyguards and the female clerk were once again shocked and at a loss. The prestigious boss Chen had actually been blackmailed, and it seemed he was willing to do so.
But the female clerk did not dare hesitate. She hurriedly took 100,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan did not reach for the money. Instead, she turned and looked at Ye Fengwu, biting her red lips and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this."
Ye Fengwu gently smiled and said, "The ring was only worth 20,000 yuan. Now we've earned an extra 100,000 yuan, you should be happy."
As he spoke, Ye Fengwu stuffed the 100,000 yuan into Qin Qinghan's bag.
After Ye Fengwu and Qin Qinghan left, Chen Yuanzhong's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy.
The bodyguard whose palm was pierced suddenly said, "Boss, are we just going to let him leave like this?"
Chen Yuanzhong's gloomy eyes slowly turned to look at that bodyguard. In a deep voice, he said, "What else can we do, let him smash up this shop?"
The bodyguard was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Boss, I was injured because he caught me off guard. If..."
Slap!
A loud slap landed on the bodyguard's face.
Chen Yuanzhong said in a low voice, "Ye Fengwu is not known as the Mad Dog for nothing. With just you three, you are no match for him at all."
Another bodyguard had a very solemn expression and said, "Boss, could he be Ye Fengwu the Mad Dog? I've heard he is an extremely crazy man."
Chen Yuanzhong nodded and said coldly, "When he was still a nobody, he had already caused me quite a bit of trouble. He has no family or anyone to care for. There are no rules in his eyes."
"Therefore, when facing a mad dog like him, it's best to keep your distance until his fangs have been removed."
Having been in the underworld for decades, Chen Yuanzhong was shrewd and calculating.
He knew how to adapt to the circumstances. Today, he only had three bodyguards with him. There was no way they could match Ye Fengwu. Therefore, he lowered his stance and allowed Ye Fengwu to leave first.
This not only protected his small shop but also kept himself out of danger.
Chen Yuanzhong's expression then gradually became solemn as he said, "Now, he has lost some of his craziness but gained more viciousness. At the same time...he has become even more difficult to handle."
Hearing this, the three bodyguards' expressions changed to surprise. They had never seen the boss look so solemn before.
At this time, over a dozen men in black suits rushed into the pawn shop. The one leading them had a burly figure. The bulging temples on his fierce-looking face had clearly visible veins.
His gaze was like a knife, and his brows revealed a ferocious fierceness like a wild beast. This was Cheng Xiong, the top henchman under Xi Hei Feng.
It was rumored that Cheng Xiong had been involved in underground boxing rings. For nearly ten years, no one could match him. Later, he was bought over by Chen Yuanzhong at great expense.
Cheng Xiong had been by Chen Yuanzhong's side for over ten years. Back then, when Ye Fengwu was still an unknown petty crook, he had been taught many lessons by Cheng Xiong.
If Cheng Xiong had been present just now, Chen Yuanzhong would never have let Ye Fengwu leave so easily.
"Brother Chen, was the person who just left Ye Fengwu the Mad Dog?" Cheng Xiong walked over with his ferocious face devoid of any expression.
Chen Yuanzhong nodded, and the corners of his mouth lifted up into a sinister smile. "Yes, it's him. Eight years in prison didn't make him curb himself one bit. But this makes things more interesting."
Cheng Xiong said, "Brother Chen, isn't he the one Qin Guannan asked you to deal with?"
Chen Yuanzhong nodded. Not long ago, Qin Guannan had personally visited him, bringing generous gifts and asking him to teach his son-in-law a lesson.
At that time, Chen Yuanzhong had already sent people to investigate and found out who he was. That was why he had not made a move.
Chen Yuanzhong sneered, "Ye Fengwu has a close relationship with Jiang Hao. The Qin family wants to deal with him? They're really digging their own graves."
Cheng Xiong said again, "The Qin family is now cooperating with Feng Hao Real Estate. It's obvious they want Feng Hao Real Estate to be their backer."
But Chen Yuanzhong just laughed and shook his head. "Old fox Qin Guannan is courting death. He still doesn't realize what kind of madman he has provoked."
"Jiang Hao gave all the suburban construction site projects to the Qin family. With such a huge cake, the Qin Group is finished."
Although Cheng Xiong did not understand the business world, he knew Jiang Hao had set a trap for Qin Guannan. So he said, "Brother Chen, what are your plans?"
Chen Yuanzhong took out a cigar and a bodyguard hurriedly lit it for him before he leisurely said, "To not reciprocate an act of graciousness is uncourteous. If that Mad Dog dares to make a scene at my shop, then... I'll just get ahead of him and acquire the Qin Group."
Only then did Cheng Xiong come to a realization and nodded. But soon after, his expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something. He said, "Brother Chen, Sheng'er was hospitalized yesterday."
"Hmm..." Chen Yuanzhong's expression darkened as he asked with concern, "He just got back from overseas. What trouble did he get into again?"
Cheng Xiong then said, "Yesterday after drinking with friends, he was driving home and got hit by a Ferrari. His car was totaled but Sheng'er only suffered minor injuries."
Only after hearing that his son only had minor injuries did Chen Yuanzhong heave a sigh of relief. His tone then turned gloomy as he asked, "What about the driver who caused the accident?"
Cheng Xiong frowned. "He escaped. I've already found out it was Jiang Hao's silver Ferrari."
"What a Jiang Hao," said Chen Yuanzhong, his expression instantly turning extremely cold. He then coldly said, "Tell Sheng'er to behave these next few days and not go around causing trouble, especially not to provoke Ye Fengwu."
Back then, he had schemed and framed Ye Fengwu. If his son fell into that man's hands, given that man's temperament, his son's life would not be guaranteed. So for now, he had to keep a low profile for a few days and slowly undermine Jiang Hao's influence.
When Ye Fengwu no longer had Chen Yuanzhong to rely on, he would be able to pinch him to death as he wished.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out of the pawn shop office. He nodded heavily towards Chen Yuanzhong and said, "Chairman Chen, the ring has already been collected by the Luohuang Auction House. It can be officially auctioned in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhong nodded slightly and smiled, "Based on your appraisal, can that ring really fetch a sky-high price at auction?"
The bespectacled man nodded firmly and said with certainty, "Chairman Chen, my eye for these things won't be wrong. The bihai gemstone on that ring is extremely rare. There are only two in the world, so the minimum bid should be 100 million dollars."
When Chen Yuanzhong heard this, the smile in his eyes grew even thicker. 100 million dollars would be enough for him to acquire several companies.
...
At this time, Ye Fengwu was driving a black Audi, bringing Qin Qinghan back to her home. However, Ye Fengwu had not looked very happy throughout the drive.
