CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 456: REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE

"Ye Chen, I’ve already told you, the matter of the Jade Ring has nothing to do with you, so I don’t want you to interfere."

"Heh, then I have to tell you, I am determined to handle this matter today, and moreover, if I don’t see that Jade Ring today, I definitely won’t be leaving this place."

"If you insist on doing this, it really makes no sense. That Jade Ring, it’s not about you at all."

"I don’t care who it’s about, in any case, I’ve decided to take charge of these matters, so you must bring out that Jade Ring to me."

Seeing his firm stance at this time, Yang Wenyu could basically feel that if they continued talking this way, there would be no chance of easing the situation.

He was worried that, before his reinforcements arrived, he would completely infuriate Ye Chen, and then, Ye Chen might give him a taste of asphyxiation that his body might not endure a second time.

"Fine, if that’s the case, then let me see the condition of your Yuan blue and white porcelain. You just lifted the lid and barely glanced at it. At least let me appreciate it up close, right?"

"If I can’t see the Jade Ring, you won’t get to see that item either. Go fetch me that Jade Ring now."

"What if I refuse to take it now?"

"If you refuse, you know the consequences."

As he spoke, Ye Chen stood up, and a terrifying light shone in his eyes.

At that moment, Yang Wenyu immediately felt his body shiver; he thought this was really unnecessary.

If his reinforcements could arrive later, he could still snatch the Jade Ring back again.

"Alright, just give me a moment, I’ll go up and fetch it for you."

While saying this, he slowly made his way to the second floor.

Watching his retreating figure, Ye Chen was very clear that he was waiting for reinforcements.

Ye Chen had already factored in the Scorpion Gang; he intended to settle the score with them thoroughly today.

Otherwise, he really had no idea what troubles they might cause him in the future.

Moreover, he could tell Yang Wenyu was deliberately stalling for time; as long as Ye Chen achieved his goal today, all other matters could be put aside temporarily.

After about five or six minutes, Yang Wenyu finally came downstairs, holding an exquisite box in his hand. Ye Chen immediately recognized it as the one that had contained the Jade Ring.

"So, you’re finally willing to bring it down, huh?"

"Although it’s my prized possession, since you have intervened and are determined to see this through, I have no other option. Here’s the item, but you should at least let me take a glimpse at that Yuan blue and white porcelain."

Ye Chen didn’t say a word; instead, he swiftly turned around with incredible speed and grabbed the Jade Ring in his hand.

At that moment, Yang Wenyu was just dumbfounded, not even reacting before everything had already vanished before his eyes.

However, this was all well and good because Ye Chen couldn’t leave just yet since Lin Yaru hadn’t arrived. If Lin Yaru was in his hands, it would be a significant security.

As long as neither the person nor the ring left the premises, he felt some matters were still within his control.

He saw Ye Chen, couldn’t wait to open the box, and then kept inspecting the Jade Ring.

Then, Yang Wenyu stepped forward, took the Yuan blue and white porcelain in his arms, and briefly opened it to look inside.

But just from that glimpse, his brows furrowed deeply. After that, he lifted the vase into mid-air, carefully examining it for a long while before slowly setting it down again.

"Heh, Ye Chen, if you act like this, it really lacks any sense."

He said this while looking up at Ye Chen.

After all, as an antique collector, Yang Wenyu could usually tell at a glance whether something was authentic or counterfeit.

Unexpectedly, he was right; Ye Chen had no intention of returning the item, so all he could do was temporarily set these matters aside.

"So, you’ve found out the vase is fake, huh? Heh, let me tell you, I never intended to return the item to you, so don’t bother thinking too much about it."

"If you act this way, it really shows Ye Chen, you don’t have any sincerity at all."

"No sincerity, what can you do about it? Anyway, I’m taking both the Jade Ring and the person away today, so leaving anything behind is out of the question."

"Ye Chen, if that’s what you’re saying, then I really can’t let you leave so easily."

As he spoke, Yang Wenyu suddenly clapped his hands twice with force.

Because just a moment ago, Yang Wenyu had received a message that his men had arrived at the villa and were now waiting outside for his command.

With just one word from Yang Wenyu, all of them could rush into the hall.

Right after the clapping, the door was pushed open, and then over a dozen burly men stormed in. They looked fierce and menacing, each holding a sharp weapon.

Ye Chen knew he would inevitably face this situation sooner or later; thus, he calmly put the Jade Ring in his hand and then tucked it into his jacket.

"Heh, I didn’t expect your Scorpion Gang to move so quickly. Since they’re here, where are the others? Where is Lin Yaru now?"

"Do you think you’re still in a position to negotiate terms with me? Besides, you just demanded this and that from me here. Let me tell you, no one in Jiangzhou City dares to be so presumptuous in front of me. Brothers, let’s teach him a lesson."

As he spoke, Yang Wenyu took a step back.
