Chapter 201 Just because the tiger isn't roaring doesn't mean it's a pushover.
"Where is Professor Wang? Is he injured?"
"Professor Wang went back to Beijing a long time ago. He's not even here, so how could he be injured?"
Chen Peng: ...
"What blew up the car?"
"firecracker!"
Chen Peng was taken aback, then gritted his teeth: "Lin Sicheng, can you stop breathing so heavily during the New Year?"
Lin Sicheng glanced at the group of young men who were getting closer and closer:
"Uncle Chen, I'm not kidding you, it was really dangerous: seven or eight young men in their late teens or early twenties with blond hair, they used Lei Wang to blow up the car and stopped it... Then they said they wanted to borrow some money from me and wanted to take my brother-in-law's two younger sisters back to play with them..."
Chen Peng was skeptical: robbery in broad daylight, and even the attempt to abduct a woman... that seems unlikely, doesn't it?
But things could easily escalate: around twenty years old, they're at a naive and clueless age, with no concept of consequences whatsoever. They might start a commotion, and a fight could break out at the slightest provocation.
That place is so chaotic, and you never know which bastard might be carrying a knife. Getting hurt would be a side effect, and it's not impossible that someone could die.
Thinking of this, Chen Peng's heart tightened: "You idiot, run..."
"How am I supposed to run away when there are two girls?"
Chen Peng was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the landline and started dialing a number while cursing, "Why did you run off to that lousy, cowardly place instead of staying in the city!"
"Uncle Chen, my hometown is in Dongqujiangchi!"
Chen Peng was completely exasperated: You're such an unlucky guy.
"Lin Sicheng, listen to me: porcelain doesn't clash with tiles. When you need to back down, just admit it. If things get tough, just run away. Taking a few hits won't hurt. We can settle the score later. Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to be there in three minutes at most. Even if you run away, your two relatives won't be in any trouble..."
He explained it to him like he was coaxing a child, then picked up the landline receiver and started yelling, "Hu Chenguang, how did you manage your patrol... Did you know there were people robbing people on the road in Dongsanxiao Village?"
I don't know how the other person responded, but Chen Peng roared again, his voice filled with profanity.
While he was still on the phone, seven or eight young men had already arrived at the car.
Chen Wenchang forced himself to remain calm, shielding the two girls behind him, and held up his phone: "What do you want? I'm calling the police..."
"Go ahead and report your mother!"
While cursing, a young man slapped the phone across the face, sending it flying seven or eight meters with a loud "smack".
"You...why did you hit me?"
Chen Wenchang instinctively turned around to pick up his phone. But before he could turn around, he was slapped across the face again.
His glasses flew off, and several finger marks appeared on his face.
Feeling a burning pain, Chen Fangchang was stunned and stammered, "We...we are from Dongqujiangchi..."
The young man paused for a moment, then glanced sideways and said, "I'm going to beat up the people at Dongqujiangchi..."
The two girls were quite fierce. Although their faces were pale, they immediately started fighting when they saw their brother being beaten.
Lin Sicheng sighed: "Uncle Chen, they've already started fighting..."
Before Chen Peng could say anything, he quickly hung up the phone and rushed over: "Jiayu, Jiayi, you two get in the car first!"
"Go to hell... you're also from Dongqujiangchi, right?"
The young man cursed and slapped Lin Sicheng across the face again.
If we hadn't mentioned Dongqujiangchi, things would have been fine, but as soon as the others heard about it, they got excited too: the two villages used to fight over water, and they would often start brawls.
Suddenly, two more people rushed up from the side and grabbed Chen Jiayu and Chen Jiayi's arms.
Lin Sicheng took a step back, dodging the slap. He then shoved the two young men who were grabbing him away with two quick movements.
He was very strong and gripped tightly; with a "rip," half of Chen Jiayu's down jacket sleeve was torn open. The young man stumbled and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, another burst of laughter erupted.
This kid was reckless, or maybe he felt embarrassed in front of his brothers. The young man got up, cursed "Fuck your mother," and then reached into his pocket.
With a "click," the blade popped out.
Lin Sicheng was stunned.
Whether he genuinely intended to stab him or was just trying to scare him, the young man actually grabbed the knife and charged at him.
Chen Peng just told us to run if things got too bad, but the problem is, how do we run?
Behind him were two girls...
Lin Sicheng's eyes turned cold, and he yanked open the car door and slammed it shut.
The knife fell to the ground, and the young man bent down to pick it up. But just as he reached for it, a foot reached out and kicked the knife under the car.
Then, my hair felt tight, as if a pair of pliers were twisting around on my head. Then my neck felt heavy, and my head involuntarily drooped down as a knee struck me squarely.
"Click~"
He just bumped into it once, and then Lin Sicheng casually let go.
The young man immediately covered his face and squatted down.
At first I was a little dazed, then suddenly everything went black, my head spun, and it felt like a thousand bees were buzzing into my ears...
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through me...
"Ah~ Ah~... My face, my nose... I... I can't see..."
They scream like pigs being slaughtered.
Too fast, so fast it caught everyone off guard: one second, a group of young men were laughing and joking, watching their companions swagger around. But in the blink of an eye, they were squatting on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, she was covering her face with both hands, blood dripping continuously from between her fingers, and her screams were so piercing they could shatter eardrums.
Suddenly, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest:
"Your mother's..."
"Kill him..."
"Fuck your mother..."
They were swearing and charging forward with clenched fists; one of them even picked up a brick.
Lin Sicheng kicked him hard, and it's no exaggeration: the strong young man in his early twenties was kicked so hard that his feet left the ground, and he also knocked down the person following behind him.
One of the men on the right raised a brick to smash it, but Lin Sicheng raised his hand, the hand holding the brick, and raised it into the air. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Sicheng twisted his waist and hips, delivering a punch to the ribs.
Another click!
With a scream, another one rushed up from the left. Lin Sicheng turned slightly and swung his elbow.
"Thump~"
It felt like a hammer had struck him; a dent appeared in his cheek, and the young man cried out "Ah!" before falling backward.
It was even faster than before; in less than a minute, four of the eight young men had fallen.
The one who took a knee to the face was about to faint, while the one who took a kick to the stomach was sitting on the ground groaning.
He clutched his waist, pale-faced, with large beads of sweat dripping down his face after taking a punch to the ribs.
Another one squatted on the ground, clutching his cheek, and spat out a "poof," with two teeth mixed in with the blood.
The remaining four dared not rush forward.
Although the event was brief, it caused quite a stir. Many more people rushed out of the card room next to the store and the houses on both sides.
What's wrong?
"The village children were beaten by people from Dongqujiang!"
"Damn Russian bastards...grab your weapons..."
"Make him pay up... if he doesn't pay hundreds of thousands, kill him..."
Another burst of shouting erupted, even more chaotic than before. Suddenly, more than a dozen people surrounded them.
Almost everyone was carrying tools: shovels, carrying poles, hoes, broom handles... some even had a pig-slaughtering knife in their hands.
Lin Sicheng abruptly pulled open the car door, first pulling out a screwdriver from under the glove compartment on the side of the door. Then he reached under the steering wheel and pulled out a briefcase.
Holding the screwdriver in his hand, he unzipped the bag with a "squeak".
Suddenly, bright red banknotes were revealed.
He tore open a stack of bills and casually scattered them, the banknotes flying everywhere like snowflakes.
Why wouldn't you accept money that's practically handed to you?
Some people reached out to grab it, while others jumped up to grab it. Some bent down, and some even chased after the money.
Suddenly, the group of people who were just filled with righteous indignation and united against the enemy were thrown into chaos.
Lin Sicheng threw the bag forward again, scattering nine stacks of banknotes on the ground.
He pointed to the money on the ground, then to Chen Jiayu and Chen Jiayi behind him: "Robbing money is fine! But trying to rob people?"
After a slight pause, Lin Sicheng chuckled and casually flicked a screwdriver: "Come on, try and snatch one!"
With a "hiss," a hole appeared in the side window of the Grand Cherokee, and then, like a rag, the entire pane of glass drooped down softly.
Not everyone is a petty thug who hasn't read many books and only knows how to cause trouble and be aggressive.
Not everyone is greedy and disregards their own life. They also know the true nature of these cowardly fools who got beaten up.
Not everyone had a grudge against the people of Dongqujiangchi Village. In fact, a few of them had been standing at the entrance from the very beginning and had seen the entire village from start to finish.
Just as I was wondering whether I should try to stop them, a fight suddenly broke out. Then, in no time at all, everyone was lying on the ground. Money was scattered everywhere.
Then, a hole appeared in the car window, and the kid across the street said something about robbing people and stealing their money...
Someone's expression immediately changed, and they shouted angrily, "Don't pick it up, put the money down..."
But how could anyone dissuade them?
The four remaining young men among the eight were the most aggressive in their grabbing. Being the closest, they managed to steal nine stacks of cash and a leather bag in the blink of an eye.
The group of people who had been standing at the store entrance watching from beginning to end looked at each other in bewilderment.
A car worth five or six hundred thousand?
Shaanxi A·66666?
Can someone casually pull out 100,000 yuan and just throw it away as they please?
And just like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, in the blink of an eye, half of the eight people were lying down...
Could this be an ordinary person?
Several people's eyelids twitched, they exchanged glances, and then a man in military uniform stepped forward.
He's still a two-bar, one-star player.
He glanced at the screwdriver in Lin Sicheng's hand, and his eyelid twitched again.
If he had just arrived, he might have been suspicious. But he watched from beginning to end: this cowardly kid not only had training, but he was also incredibly ruthless.
If anyone dares to charge forward, that screwdriver in his hand could really kill them.
Thinking it over, he forced a smile: "A few fools were just joking, why did you take it seriously?"
"joke?"
Lin Sicheng chuckled and pointed to the windshield. "Trying to stop a car with a cannon, and the windows shattered. Is that a joke?"
"Eight people surrounded me, wanting to borrow some money from me. Is that a joke?"
"Is it a joke to arrest my two relatives and take them back for a bit of fun?"
Lin Sicheng lifted Chen Jiayu's hand, pointed to her bruised wrist, and then to the torn sleeve of her down jacket. "Is this a joke?"
"If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been stabbed seven or eight times already!" Lin Sicheng pointed to the switchblade under the car. "Is this a joke?"
"After that, I was surrounded by more than a dozen people, armed with knives and sticks, who demanded hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation from me. They threatened to kill me if I didn't pay. Is this some kind of joke?"
After a slight pause, Lin Sicheng sighed: "Stopping a car in the street, robbing someone at knifepoint, attempted murder, premeditated rape... Can you calculate how many years they could get?"
With each word he spoke, the officer's face darkened further, and the veins on his forehead throbbed uncontrollably: This coward is ruthless in his hands and even more ruthless in his heart.
He threw money not only to get out of trouble, but also to get those few melon rinds in.
The remaining four blond-haired men hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and were wondering whether they should pocket the money and sneak away.
One of the slightly smarter ones thought about whether to retrieve the knife from under the car.
Just as I was pondering this, there was a "squeak".
With a screeching sound of brakes, as if appearing out of nowhere, the three cars came to a stop on the side of the road.
Two police cars and one riot control vehicle.
Then, with a series of thuds, seven or eight peaked caps and more than a dozen armed police officers jumped off the vehicle. Some took out guns, some took out batons, and some took out shields.
Someone recognized him and called out "Chief Hu," and was about to go to him when the armed police rushed over.
"Squat down... Everyone squat down..."
He shouted as he raised the stick.
Lin Sicheng reacted quickly, pulling Chen Jiayu and Chen Jiayi down to squat. Chen Wenchang was a little slower and took two blows.
A blond-haired man tried to run away, but the armed policeman raised his hand and fired a shot. The rubber bullet hit him in the lower back, and he screamed in pain before collapsing to the ground.
In an instant, it was like a swarm of wasps. The group of people who had just run out to watch the show, not even having figured out what was going on, turned around and ran home.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and within a 30-meter radius of the shop, not a single person could be seen.
Only the group in the middle, regardless of good or bad, squatted in a circle, numbering at least twenty or so.
It wasn't until then that Director Hu and several police officers came over.
Upon seeing Lin Sicheng, he paused for a moment: No wonder Director Chen started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth?
When Lin Sicheng was searching for Zhang Anshi's tomb in the Qujiang area, he had seen him before. Why was Director Chen so attentive and concerned?
When he participated in the arrest, he was one of the main forces and knew very well how those people were forced into it and how much effort Lin Sicheng had put in.
Afterwards, an internal notice was issued, stating that all section chiefs and above attended the meeting. Hu Chenguang knew perfectly well the extent of Lin Sicheng's role in the entire case.
He had even heard a little about the fact that the former bureau chief had given him a military medal...
But Hu Chenguang didn't say anything, letting Lin Sicheng squat down while he arranged for the armed police to handcuff and escort him.
Then, he looked around again and paused in surprise.
The windshield was shattered like a spider web, and there were traces of large firecrackers exploding on it.
There was a hole in the side window, and a screwdriver was stuck in it.
Armed police found several wads of cash and a briefcase in the arms of several blond-haired men. There were also some banknotes left to be stolen on both sides of the road.
One girl's down jacket had a tear on one sleeve, and both girls had bruises on their wrists.
The key figures are the four who were either lying down or squatting: two had broken bones, one had two teeth knocked out, and the other may have injured his spleen...
When his colleague picked up a switchblade from under the car, Director Hu could no longer remain calm, and his eyelids twitched rapidly.
Director Chen said that someone in Sanxiao Village had stopped cars and robbed people, which he didn't quite believe. But now that he saw it: this was more than just stopping cars, this was armed with knives!
What the hell did I do to deserve this during the Chinese New Year?
He subtly gave Lin Sicheng a look, signaling him to relax. Hu Chenguang then took out his phone and ran to the side to report to Chen Peng.
Upon hearing this, Chen Peng immediately froze: "Hu Chenguang, you said there were several people who stopped the car?"
"We conducted a surprise interrogation; there were at least eight people involved, four of whom were lying on the ground, all seriously injured... Only Teacher Lin made the first move, but the other side struck first with a knife, so he's not seriously injured..."
Chen Peng retorted: Is this a question of who makes the first move or not?
Openly stopping cars and robbing people at knifepoint means you can retaliate indefinitely as long as the other party doesn't stop.
He was shocked to learn that his words had come true; those few idiots had actually brought knives.
In an instant, Chen Peng was both shocked and furious, wishing he could rush over and kick Lin Sicheng: What did I tell you on the phone? If you can't handle it, just run. Taking a few hits won't hurt; we'll settle the score later.
You fucking reckless, just blindly rushing in... what if you get stabbed in the back?
Putting aside what Wang Qizhi will do to him, Master will definitely skin him alive first...
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, yelling at Hu Chenguang, "Don't take this to the police station, take it to the branch office, I'm coming over right now..."
He slammed down the microphone, grabbed his peaked cap, and stormed out of the office, cursing under his breath…
There were too few cars and too many people, so I made two trips back and forth.
After getting into a car alone and closing the door, Hu Chenguang politely greeted him and returned the phone to him.
Lin Sicheng first called his father.
It's the Lunar New Year, and it's still quite tragic. The question is, who could have imagined this?
Heading north, past Furong Garden and Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we drove into the Yanta Branch of the Public Security Bureau, opposite the Shaanxi History Museum.
Chen Peng stood on the steps with his hands behind his back.
As Lin Sicheng got out of the car, he sneered, "Lin Sicheng, what's the point of having two long legs? Do you think you're so tough? Should I call Pi Xingchang (the commander of the Armed Police detachment) and have him spar with you?"
Lin Sicheng was stunned by the scolding, and after a long while, he sighed: "Director Chen, things happened too fast, it really caught me off guard... At the time, it wasn't that I didn't want to run, but if I ran, the knife would stab the two girls..."
Chen Peng paused for a moment, then snorted.
No matter how selfish he was, or how disappointed he was in Lin Sicheng's lack of ambition, he simply couldn't bring himself to say something like asking Lin Sicheng to abandon a woman to take the fall.
He glared at Lin Sicheng again: "You shouldn't have stopped the car in the first place, and you definitely shouldn't have gotten out!"
Lin Sicheng was utterly speechless: "Director Chen, if I had known something bad was going to happen, I wouldn't have even left the house today, believe it or not?"
Chen Peng was speechless: "You can't buy foresight. Who knew something like this would happen?"
Seeing that no one was around, he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you plan to do about this?"
Lin Sicheng looked bewildered: "I don't know either!"
"You don't know anything? You don't know anything? If you don't know, would you dare to throw 100,000 yuan around like that?"
Lin Sicheng pretended not to understand and kept his head down without saying a word.
Despite his criticism, Chen Peng secretly wanted to applaud Lin Sicheng.
The two villages are sworn enemies: they used to fight each other frequently over water, and people have been killed in the process.
If Lin Sicheng had been a fraction slower in spending his money the moment he was surrounded, if he hadn't chosen to die rather than surrender, he would be the one lying in the intensive care unit right now.
No wonder he suits Master's taste so well: With this personality and this ability to make quick decisions, why didn't you join the army and become a policeman? What kind of research are you doing?
Just as they were feeling a little regretful, several cars drove into the yard and came to a stop. Several people jumped out.
Lin Changqing, Lin Chengzhi, Jiang Yanfei... and many other relatives.
Lin Sicheng sighed again: What bad luck during the New Year?
Before he could even say hello, Lin Sicheng was led inside.
With everyone watching, Chen Peng couldn't possibly let them greet him.
Then, just as Chen Peng was thinking about going upstairs to send someone to call Lin Changqing to his office to give him a briefing, the people from Sanyao Village chased after him to the branch office.
They didn't recognize Lin Changqing and Lin Chengzhi, but they knew the eldest and second uncles, and Chunmei's family. The two sides argued for quite a while in the hall, and it took more than a dozen police officers to separate them.
The other party only said what was advantageous to them, so the Lin family had no idea about stopping the car, robbing money, harassing, or carrying a knife.
All that is known is that Lin Sicheng beat four young men from Sanyao Village into the hospital: one had two teeth knocked out, and the remaining three all suffered broken bones.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried: Lin Sicheng had injured four people. Putting everything else aside, those two teeth alone would warrant a six-month sentence.
Even if you can pay compensation and avoid jail time, will you still have a criminal record or even be detained?
How will I continue my studies? How will I continue running this studio?
But Jiang Yanfei was a thousand times skeptical: "How could Lin Sicheng hit someone for no reason?"
Lin Changqing and Lin Chengzhi didn't believe it either.
Over the past six months, the changes in Lin Sicheng have been evident to both father and son. To be honest, Lin Sicheng's current personality is more composed than Lin Chengzhi's.
How could he possibly commit violence or injure someone, let alone use a knife?
Subconsciously, Lin Changqing recalled the scene when those people from Tongchuan chased Lin Sicheng to Xijing and coaxed him to the teahouse: calm, reasonable, and neither humble nor arrogant.
And, on the day the center was unveiled, all the friends and leaders who came. Among them was Director Chen, who had quietly given him a wink from the steps just as he arrived at the entrance.
Upon meeting Lin Sicheng, he introduced himself as "uncle," and the two put their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing and joking...
With such a mind, such responsiveness, and such friends and relationships, how could Lin Sicheng have stooped so low as to risk his life with a bunch of scum?
Therefore, the other party definitely didn't tell the truth.
Lin Changqing was both surprised and suspicious. Just as he was wondering whether to call Wang Qizhi, the two girls were released first.
Upon seeing Chunmei, Chen Jiayu pouted and burst into tears: "Sister-in-law, Auntie (Chen Wenchang's mother-in-law), they stopped the car, brandished knives, and tried to rob us of our money. They even tried to drag Jiayi and me away and rape us..."
Lin Sicheng tried to stop them, but he almost got stabbed several times before he started fighting with them... Look, Jiayi and I have bruises on our wrists..."
How many times should I stab him?
Lin Sicheng was almost stabbed several times?
Looking at the two girls' bruised wrists, Jiang Yanfei's mind went blank: These damned bastards, his son almost died...
She was about to rush up and argue, or even fight, when Lin Chengzhi stopped her.
The father and son were also shaken. They cursed Lin Sicheng in their hearts, then exchanged a glance: According to this, Lin Sicheng acted in self-defense.
Just as they were about to find a quiet place to question him carefully, Chen Wenchang was also released.
They were pulled into a corner and questioned for a while, leaving the group completely stunned.
It's true that the other party stopped the car, that they came over to grab the two girls, and that they used a knife.
But Lin Sicheng took on eight opponents, one move from each, and sent four of them to the hospital... No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit surreal.
But that's not the point. What's more important is that he was surrounded afterwards, Lin Sicheng threw money in the street, and then he grabbed a screwdriver and fought desperately.
Even just hearing Chen Wenchang talk about it, or just imagining it, makes one's scalp tingle: if Lin Sicheng's reaction were even slightly slower, he would be crippled even if he wasn't killed.
Thankfully, it was a close call...
...
Everything was done according to procedure; those who needed treatment received it, and those who needed to be examined were examined, including those sent to hospitals.
In less than two hours, the police had figured out the whole story.
A few thugs, after having a few drinks, gathered in front of a store and set off firecrackers to scare people. After a while, they felt that blowing up people wasn't enough, so they started blowing up cars instead.
Before encountering Lin Sicheng, several cars had already been blown up. After one car was blown to a stop, as soon as the window was rolled down, a Thunder King was thrown directly into the car.
The driver cursed, and was immediately surrounded and slapped several times. After driving past, the driver called the police, but by the time the police car arrived, the group of blond-haired men had vanished.
As soon as the police left, they gathered together again. Instead of calming down, they became even more arrogant and audacious.
Then, Lin Sicheng was blown up...
In terms of its nature, it cannot be said to be anything but serious: the key point is that surgery was involved, so the previous clamors about "borrowing some money to spend" and "taking these two women back to have some fun" could not possibly be a joke.
Chen Peng suggested that the matter be dealt with severely, and Li Chunnan also instructed that it be dealt with severely.
Since the case is to be dealt with severely, key figures certainly can't be let go so quickly...
In the evening, we ate dinner in the branch office. It was four dishes and a soup, including mutton and chive dumplings, which were incredibly delicious.
Lin Sicheng held a plate, eating while watching the Spring Festival Gala. The Anhui flower drum lantern dance was really well done.
Chen Peng opened a bottle of wine, half jokingly and half probing: "Look, if you were a policeman, and you encountered something like this again, wouldn't you just be 'protecting the lives and property of the people'? Why bother fighting? Just show your badge, and see if he makes a move!"
Lin Sicheng looked completely bewildered... This time he was genuinely bewildered: Chen Pengming knew perfectly well that he couldn't possibly become a policeman.
What does that mean?
Chen Peng smiled mysteriously: "How about this, Uncle Chen, I'll pull some strings for you and get you an advisor's certificate, the kind with a police badge... Do you want it?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Sicheng let out a "hiss" and looked disgusted: Director Chen, who are you trying to fool?
If I wanted to be an advisor, Guan Xingmin… oh no, he's been promoted now. He should be a city advisor; everyone from top to bottom would welcome him with open arms. Why would I need to pull strings with Director Chen?
You're really something, always trying to set me up whenever you get the chance...
He put down his chopsticks and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
He was then pushed aside, and Li Chunnan walked in, wearing a police-style cotton coat with bottle caps sticking out of the pockets; he was clearly an old Xifeng brand.
Chen Peng and Lin Sicheng both stood up and greeted him.
Li Chunfeng placed the wine on the table and smiled again: "Calm, decisive, and efficient, not bad!"
Chen Peng twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself: Master, you're not only not scolding him, but you're also praising him?
Although, this kid is indeed quite decisive...
Then, Chen Peng asked the kitchen to cook two more dishes. The three of them ate and chatted, finished two bottles of wine, and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
It's quite a rare occasion: this is the first time in two lifetimes that I've spent the Lunar New Year at the Public Security Bureau.
Lin Sicheng sighed inwardly.
He was unaware that the injured family members, along with others, had stormed into the old house...
...
The old man was getting on in years and didn't dare stay up too late. Around three o'clock, the whole family sat down at the table.
More than twenty people, young and old, were enjoying themselves immensely.
After a few rounds of drinks, Wang Qizhi started boasting. He couldn't stop talking about Lin Sicheng, and he kept talking about what treasures he had appraised and what bargains he had found.
Just as he was getting into the swing of things and was about to take out the agarwood beads and medicinal wine, the phone buzzed.
He answered the call casually, and after only a couple of sentences, Wang Qizhi's face darkened.
Then, it got darker and darker.
The family was taken aback, as they rarely saw Wang Qizhi like this.
After a long while, Wang Qizhi hung up the phone, his face dark and his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"
