Chapter 63: Are You Playing with Me?

Hearing the command, a group of bodyguards immediately surged forward.

Ye Chen showed no fear, but the vendor, afraid of causing trouble, hurriedly stepped forward to block them, pleading, “Oh, Young Master Qin, my good Young Master Qin, is it really worth it over such a trivial matter? You are a person of status; if this really escalates to the police, you won’t have the upper hand…”

Qin Ao Dong frowned slightly.

He knew that he was in the wrong today.

He just wanted to buy a jade pendant for his dog to show off a bit, which is why he tried to snatch the jade pendant from Ye Chen. But unexpectedly, his usually obedient dog ran off the moment he let go.

He was already in the wrong; if he ended up hurting Ye Chen, he would have a hard time explaining himself if he got arrested.

So, he gritted his teeth and said to Ye Chen, “Since this kid is pleading for you, I’ll give you a chance. Kneel down and bow to me three times, and we’ll let this matter go.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “You want to buy my stuff, but I refuse to sell it, and now you want me to bow to you? Well, I want to buy something from you; will you sell it?”

Young Master Qin scoffed, “It’s not that I look down on you, but with your poor appearance, you think you can buy something from me? Can you afford it?”

As he spoke, he revealed a bracelet on his wrist, sneering, “See this? A bloodstone bracelet, bought for over five million. Can you afford to buy it from me?”

Ye Chen glanced at the bloodstone and coldly laughed, “Even if I could afford it, I wouldn’t spend five million on a fake. This piece of junk isn’t worth more than fifty bucks to me.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Young Master Qin shouted angrily. “You’ve never seen good things, so stop talking! You think this is a fake? Who gave you the confidence?!”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up, “That bloodstone is indeed fake.”

“What?” Young Master Qin turned to see an old man speaking and angrily cursed, “Old man, are you blind? Such a good item, and you say it’s fake? What do you know?!”

Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted, “Hey, you better show some respect! This is President Su of the Jinling Jade Association! He is the biggest collector of bloodstones in Jinling. When it comes to identifying bloodstones, no one is more authoritative than him!”

Upon hearing this, many people began to angrily scold Young Master Qin for not recognizing a great figure.

Young Master Qin was instantly rendered speechless.

Only then did he realize that the old man did look somewhat familiar! It was indeed the president of the Jade Association!

President Su, however, was not angry and calmly said, “Everyone, don’t blame this young brother. It’s understandable that he’s emotional after spending five million on such a fake. We should sympathize with him, not blame him…”

“Damn…” Young Master Qin was devastated, holding the bracelet and asking, “Is this really fake?”

President Su nodded, “To be honest, it couldn’t be more fake. That’s dyed after being acid-washed. Didn’t your wrist have an allergic reaction when you first wore it?”

“Shit…” Young Master Qin was at a loss for words, exclaiming, “The bastard who sold it to me said that high-quality bloodstones would react with the skin, turning it red, and that if it doesn’t turn red, it’s fake…”

The onlookers covered their faces.

Who would have thought there could be such a fool in the world?

President Su helplessly said, “Young man, I’ve seen many who were fooled, but you are the first to be fooled so thoroughly. That acid wash is highly corrosive; if you keep wearing it like this, not only will your skin have an allergic reaction, but your body will also absorb too many toxins, which could harm your health…”

Young Master Qin was also in despair; who would have thought he spent five million on garbage that was toxic to his body!

Seeing his expression worse than someone who had eaten shit, Ye Chen couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, you say this junk, even if you offered it to me for five bucks, I wouldn’t want it!”

Young Master Qin was furious but, for the sake of his pride, coldly snorted and said disdainfully, “Everyone makes mistakes when dealing with antiques. It’s just five million; I, Qin Ao Dong, don’t care about it. I’ll just treat this bracelet as a piece of junk.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a wolf tooth tied with a red string from his waistband, proudly declaring, “That doesn’t count. Look at this wolf tooth; it’s the only genuine treasure of its kind in the world, capable of warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune! It can’t possibly be fake!”

Young Master Qin had absolute confidence in this wolf tooth.

He had previously consulted many experts who confirmed that this wolf tooth was indeed an item from the Three Kingdoms period.

Ye Chen, however, laughed heartily, then coldly snorted and said, “You’re facing death and still don’t realize it. You wear such a sinister object, thinking it wards off evil spirits; aren’t you a fool?”

“What the hell are you talking about! Nonsense!”

Young Master Qin roared, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

Ye Chen appeared relaxed, smiling lightly, “You actually wear such a sinister object close to your body, and you’re still alive? That just shows your luck is really good.”

Young Master Qin’s face turned red, but after what had just happened, he didn’t dare to be certain whether Ye Chen was genuinely knowledgeable or just bluffing. He stubbornly asked, “What’s your basis for saying that?”

“Take a good look at your so-called wolf tooth!”

Ye Chen said coldly, “Didn’t you notice that this wolf tooth is a size smaller than a normal wolf tooth?”

Young Master Qin feigned calmness and shouted, “So what if it’s smaller? The essence is in the concentration; maybe this wolf king is just small in stature!”

Seeing Young Master Qin stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, Ye Chen chuckled and mockingly said, “Not only is your wolf tooth smaller than a regular one, but the base of the tooth is also full and rounded. Take another look at yours.”

Young Master Qin scrutinized his wolf tooth with a face full of doubt, and after a moment, he weakly said, “So what? Mine may not be full, but it’s a rare original treasure. The wolves from the Three Kingdoms period were smaller than today’s; that’s what the experts told me!”

Although he had been in the antique business for several years, he had never truly studied antique-related knowledge. He just bought what looked good or what others recommended as worth collecting.

“Hopelessly foolish!”

Ye Chen coldly snorted, “Wolves have rounded roots because they eat meat and gnaw on bones, while humans are omnivores, so their roots aren’t rounded and have less wear. Your so-called ‘wolf tooth’ was actually pried from a dead person’s mouth!”

“What!” Young Master Qin seemed struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief. “Are you kidding me? How could a human’s teeth be this long?!”
