The next day, Liu Xiaoyuan had just finished breakfast and was preparing to go to the airport when Min Dongqing called.
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that the call was from Min Dongqing, he knew it must be about the jade flute. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to answer, but then he thought that if he didn't answer, he would seem a little guilty.
Liu Xiaoyuan guessed that Min Dongqing called him to try and get information from him, since the jade flute had disappeared after he saw it yesterday, and Min Dongqing would definitely suspect him.
Liu Xiaoyuan answered the phone and asked with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Min, what's up?"
A frantic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Liu, I've lost my jade flute. Can you help me find it? I know you're incredibly resourceful, Mr. Liu, please help me."
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "I stole this jade flute. You want me to find it for you? That would be a huge joke."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Min, I'm not good at catching thieves. You should find someone else, or call the police. Besides, I'm already on my way to the airport."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Min Dongqing sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, if that's the case, then let's just forget about it."
Upon arriving at the airport, Liu Xiaoyuan bought a ticket back to the provincial capital and sat in the waiting hall to wait for his flight.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan closed his eyes to rest, several burly men approached him, their expressions suggesting ill intent.
These burly men were all at the late stage of Ming Jin cultivation; in the eyes of ordinary people, they were definitely formidable fighters.
"You must be Liu Xiaoyuan?" the burly man in the lead asked as Liu Xiaoyuan opened his eyes.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I am Liu Xiaoyuan. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"Please come with us, we need to talk to you about something." As the burly man spoke, the others immediately surrounded Liu Xiaoyuan, as if to prevent him from escaping.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and glanced at the burly men. In other people's eyes, they might be experts, but in Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes, they were trash and no match for him.
"What do you want from me? I'm about to board the plane, so just say it here," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin, completely disregarding the burly men.
As for who sent these burly men, Liu Xiaoyuan had a pretty good idea of who it was. It should be Min Dongqing, because it seemed that only Min Dongqing knew about his trip to the airport.
As for the purpose of Min Dongqing sending these burly men over, it was very clear: to see if they had a jade flute on them.
Min Dongqing didn't show up in person because he didn't dare to truly break ties with Liu Xiaoyuan. If Liu Xiaoyuan didn't steal the jade flute, there would still be room for maneuver. He could deny it to the death. Min Dongqing had a good plan.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, I advise you to obediently come with us. It won't take you long," said the burly man at the head of the group.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the other party and asked, "What if I don't go with you? Are you trying to forcibly take me away?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the other party nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, if you don't cooperate, this is the only way we can do it. So please cooperate and don't make things awkward later!"
"Sorry, but I'm the kind of person who likes to be forced into a corner. I'd like to see what you're capable of using force against me," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan was not cooperating, the burly men exchanged glances, nodded, and began to act. Two of them immediately reached out their thick hands to grab Liu Xiaoyuan's arms, attempting to drag him away.
When people in the waiting hall saw this, they immediately became interested in watching the commotion, and the security personnel came over right away!
"This is none of your business. This is our young master. He refuses to stay home and manage the company; he just wants to go abroad for fun. So, our master wants us to bring him back." One of the security guards said, making up a story as he approached.
Many people actually believe this lie because there are many rich kids like this these days; they only want to have fun and have no interest in managing a business.
Moreover, the burly men were dressed like bodyguards, so everyone basically believed them when they said it.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't refute it, which made everyone believe it even more.
Because in everyone's eyes, if the burly men were lying and Liu Xiaoyuan was not their young master, then Liu Xiaoyuan would definitely shout that he was not their young master and that they would harm him. But Liu Xiaoyuan did not say that.
Even the most upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. The security personnel, witnessing this scene, looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do.
In the end, they actually started watching the spectacle just like the general public.
"Young master, let's go. The master is still waiting for you at home!" The burly men were very pleased with themselves when they saw this. They were so clever to come up with such a good idea.
"What if I don't go back?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile, glancing at the group.
“Young master, this is not up to you. You have to come back with us whether you want to or not,” said the burly man at the head of the group.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"
After he finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan grabbed the right hand of one of the burly men who was on his shoulder and flung it to the side.
To outsiders, Liu Xiaoyuan's move was absurd. With a burly man like that, you think you can just throw him away? You must be dreaming.
However, to everyone's astonishment, Liu Xiaoyuan actually managed to throw the burly man away.
Now the other burly men realized that Liu Xiaoyuan was no ordinary man. The leader of the group said, "Let's go together," and then led the charge towards the burly man.
Upon witnessing this scene, some onlookers even took out their phones to record this exciting moment, because it was such a rare sight.
The burly men were indeed masters of the late stage of Ming Jin (a martial arts technique); each punch they threw carried a powerful wind, displaying formidable strength.
However, this kind of trick might make ordinary people think he's very capable, but for Liu Xiaoyuan, it's just child's play.
In no time at all, Liu Xiaoyuan had taken down all the burly men.
The onlookers were stunned by this scene; in their eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan was a grandmaster!
Several burly men lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in agony.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "You guys go back and tell your boss that I know who he is, and ask him not to cause me any more trouble, otherwise I won't be as polite as I am today!"
