Chapter 625 You'll Come With Me
The younger generation of both families felt quite helpless because of what Old Master Du said. They turned to look at Ye Wanxi, only to find her staring at the trembling ball of yin energy in her hand with a solemn expression.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they asked cautiously, "Miss Ye, is something wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. It's just..."
"only?"
"But what those salespeople were saying was right, that jade might actually be... an antique."
"What?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Wanxi held up the dark, spirit-infused object and said, "This thing is tainted with blood energy. This blood energy replenishes its consciousness, allowing it to absorb what it wants through the medium of jade. Such blood energy usually only exists on burial objects in large tombs, and it takes hundreds or even thousands of years to be formed."
Everyone quickly realized what she meant.
That dark, murky thing was attached to the jade and was harmful, but it was stained with blood, so this blood was most likely from the jade itself.
A piece of jade that has been around for hundreds or thousands of years must be an antique, right?
“Your two tea pets are exquisitely carved, incorporating some modern techniques. I guess the jade used for these two tea pets was originally whole, but was intentionally made into tea pets.” And when Mr. Du entered the shop, it was deliberately placed in the most conspicuous place to attract him to buy it.
Everything seemed accidental, but it was very likely a meticulously planned scheme to lure the enemy into a trap.
Li Weiming, being young and already having a bit of a temper, couldn't help but swear upon hearing this: "This is clearly someone who knows exactly what my dad and Uncle Du like, tailoring their approach to them and deliberately luring them into this trap. How long must they have been studying our two families to be able to set such a precise trap? Damn it, who is it?"
The others also looked grim. No one would be happy to be treated like a fool and manipulated like a puppet.
Ye Wanxi didn't think so much about it. This little trick seemed very clever to Li Weiming and the others, but it was just child's play to people like them.
All you need to do is find out their preferences beforehand, put out the items, use a trick to distract them, or give them a little psychological suggestion, and everything that happens afterward will fall into place naturally.
"I went to R City three or four months ago. It's been so long, I don't even know if that shop is still there."
Even now, Grandpa Du wouldn't dare let his family take any risks.
The people who targeted them almost ruined their family with just this little gadget. If they really went to find them, they'd probably only end up as cannon fodder.
After a moment's consideration, Mr. Du tentatively asked, "I wonder if Miss Ye could help... make a trip?"
As soon as Mr. Du said this, everyone in the room focused their attention on Ye Wanxi.
The Li family members were also on edge, because this matter not only concerned the Du family, but also their own family!
"Of course you can."
Quite by chance, the variety show she was preparing to participate in with her senior brother had its first stop in R City.
Furthermore, she herself was also somewhat interested in this matter and planned to ask Zhang Xiaoxiao tomorrow if her family's antique painting was also related to this shop.
Mr. Du's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Money is not a problem. Please feel free to make any requests you have, as long as we can do it."
Mr. Li also quickly stated, "Old Du is right, what he means is what our family means."
Ye Wanxi nodded, but did not make a promise: "I happen to have a job in a couple of days, and I will be going to R City. I can stop by and take a look. However, Mr. Du also said that so much time has passed, and now both tea pets are... The person who set up this scheme has probably already realized it, so I may not be able to gain anything by going."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing that they had all expressed their opinions, Ye Wanxi did not continue to dwell on the topic.
Both tea pets have been identified and destroyed. Regardless of whether the two families will be targeted again in the future, they should be able to behave themselves for a while.
However, after this incident, both families were terrified, and their predicament remained unresolved until the mastermind behind it was brought to justice.
Therefore, upon learning that they could buy amulets from Ye Wanxi for protection, they all rushed to pay for five amulets from her for their own use.
Even the little one, who was still fast asleep at Du Sining's house and completely unaware of the great calamity that had befallen the family, was not left out and occupied a spot by himself.
Ye Wanxi made a lot of money selling talismans in one night, and in addition, she received big red envelopes from two other companies. It can be said that she made a fortune in one night.
Before leaving the hospital, Ye Wanxi hesitated for a moment, then reminded the Du siblings, "Although Mr. Du has barely survived this ordeal, his lifespan may still be slightly affected."
Ye Wanxi spoke subtly, but everyone understood immediately.
Du Sining finally couldn't hold back her tears: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't kept persuading Dad to stay home and go out less, maybe things wouldn't have happened..."
It's true that Mr. Du likes drinking tea, but he's also a free spirit. Besides tea, he enjoys fishing, playing chess, swimming, and even joining the elderly folks in the neighborhood for square dancing.
But this "cold" made Du Sining worried that he would go out and run around, which would worsen his condition, and she was even more worried that he would run into trouble if no one took care of him while he was away.
The old man was simply thinking about the recent pandemic and worried that going out and running around would cause trouble for his children and friends.
The father and daughter were surprisingly on the same page. Du Si Ning's persuasion completely dissuaded the old man from going out. With nothing to do at home, he would just spend his days idly brewing and drinking tea.
Unfortunately, this good intention backfired.
Given the old man's previous physique, he should have lived to at least eighty years old. Now, after this ordeal, his vitality has been severely damaged, and whether he can live to eighty is now a question.
The Li family members felt a pang of sadness, but at the same time, they were grateful for their son's good fortune. If their son hadn't met a benefactor, there would probably be several more people lying in hospital beds right now.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li hugged her husband's arm tightly, still feeling lingering fear. She couldn't imagine how she would cope if she encountered a situation like the Du family's.
After resolving the issues between the two families, Ye Wanxi went back and told Feng Tianyu about it, and also mentioned her plan to visit that shop.
Feng Tianyu didn't object after hearing this, and just smiled and said, "I'll go with you."
Ye Wanxi readily agreed: "Okay, we'll go together then."
Feng Tianyu smiled slightly and added, "I'll go to that shop with you, and you'll come with me to the banquet."
Ye Wanxi: "???" Something doesn't sound right?
Ye Wanxi: You got all the emotional benefits!
