Fatty Chen looked at Long Yi's back as he left in a leisurely manner. He took off the disguise of kindness on his face and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, are we just going to watch this kid walk out so arrogantly?" Four tall and strong men with murderous looks walked up to Fatty Chen, and the scarred-faced man in the lead asked.
The four of them, led by Fatty Chen, usually acted arrogantly throughout the Treasure Garden. If Mr. Wan had not been present, they would never have let Long Yi take the money and leave the Treasure Garden so easily.
Fatty Chen said contemptuously, "I've been playing with eagles all my life, and today I'm blinded by a sparrow? The two million that guy took also includes the money for our next purchase. If he really lets it go like this, I, Fatty Chen, will never be able to hold my head up high in the Treasure Garden for the rest of my life!"
Scarface spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "Any dog on the street that meets us will get a few slaps in the face, let alone that brat!"
After he said that, he picked up the Luoyang shovel and the three-edged military bayonet behind the door and wanted to go out to find Long Yi in a threatening manner.
Fatty Chen frowned, his face twitching. "I've told you so many times, but you don't listen. Times have changed. We should use wits instead of force when we can outwit you. And if you spit in my shop again, I'll chop you into pieces!"
Scarface sneered and awkwardly wiped off the phlegm with a piece of paper. "Brother Chen, I was reckless. I still have to listen to your advice at a time like this!"
The four of them lowered their heads and huddled in front of Fatty Chen, secretly plotting something and nodding from time to time to show their approval.
"You can use this thing to scam people later..." Fatty Chen took out some broken jade from under the counter. The scattered emerald green parts put together just formed a celestial palace-style jade ruyi.
Fatty Chen wrapped the broken jade ruyi in a black cloth and said, "I bought it on the black market a few days ago. It wasn't sold through legitimate means. If it were intact, it would probably be worth a lot of money. Now that it's broken into pieces, I can trade it for two million without any loss!"
"Now that we've done it, let's do something big!" Fatty Chen's eyes gleamed with a gleam of brilliance, "Kill people and steal treasures! Afterwards, we'll go out and hide from the limelight!"
Scarface flashed a sinister grin. As the saying goes, killing and setting fires brings gold belts, while repairing bridges and roads leaves no corpses. For these charlatans, living on the edge of their pants, the best option was to pull off a big deal and then live the rest of their lives abroad.
"Brother, after we get rid of that brat, we can sell the 'Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll' overseas. It will be enough to live a carefree life for the rest of our lives!"
After saying that, Scarface put on a black cloth and led his three younger brothers out to look for Long Yi.
Outside the Treasure Garden, Long Yi was almost squeezed into a meat patty by Wan Shuang and Wan Xue. Naturally, the three of them could not walk fast. It took them a long time to get out of the gate of the Treasure Garden.
Wan Shuang's right hand, which had been on Long Yi's waist, slipped into his shirt pocket without him noticing. "Huh? Brother Yi, what's this?"
Under the curious gazes of the two men, she took out two beautifully packaged small umbrellas from Long Yi's pocket. The dark blue packaging had a bold advertisement written on it: "Love boldly."
The air froze instantly!
Long Yi was so embarrassed that he could use his toes to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. How should he explain this to the two sisters?
Long Yi was torn between whether to say that this was the disposable gloves he had received as a gift after eating fried chicken at noon, or to tell the truth that it was the small umbrella that he and Qin Yuqing had not used up in the morning.
It was Wan Xue who broke the silence first, laughing sweetly, "I never thought Brother Yi, who looks like a gentleman, would carry something like this with him. Could it be that he prepared this for us sisters? Brother Yi has a really big appetite!"
Wan Shuang's cheeks were as red as the morning sun. She quickly closed her beautiful eyes and fumbled to put the two small umbrellas in her hands back into Long Yi's pockets, but in a hurry, she accidentally stuffed them into her trouser pockets.
She felt the warmth on her hand, and withdrew her right hand as if she had been electrocuted. She turned around and dared not look directly at Long Yi, her face red to her ears.
In the distance, Scarface and his men quickly caught up. "It took this kid a long time to get here. There are so many people around, so we have to make sure everything is safe."
"I'll trip him from behind, and you'll immediately throw the black cloth to the ground!"
Scarface gave the younger brother a wink, and the younger brother immediately understood and quickened his pace to walk in front of Long Yi.
Long Yi had extraordinary spiritual awareness, so he could see through all these little tricks. He sneered in his heart at Fatty Chen, who had lost the bet and his reputation, and could not afford to play such a trick.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Scarface calmly walked to a meter behind Long Yi, took a step forward, lowered his shoulders, and pushed Long Yi towards the younger brother in front with great force.
He has been doing fitness exercises for many years, and has become as strong as a tiger and a bear. He can usually lift 200 kilograms without any problem. He is confident that a normal person like Long Yi will rush forward involuntarily if he bumps into him unexpectedly.
In the action that seemed foolproof to Scarface, Long Yi suddenly dodged to the right, holding the two girls beside him, his movements smooth and natural.
His natural outcome was that he couldn't stop at a very short distance and crashed uncontrollably into the skinny little brother in front of him.
The skinny monkey was hit by the sudden collision and saw stars. He secretly cursed Long Yi's old sister-in-law for being so strong.
The black cloth fell to the ground, and the crisp sound of jade breaking was heard!
The skinny monkey rolled to his feet, pointed at the person in front of him and started cursing, "Who are you, blind man? You broke the jade ruyi that I bought at a high price like this! This matter is not over today!"
Scarface was furious and slapped Skinny Monkey to wake him up. "Look at who's in front of you, you blind dog?"
The skinny monkey covered his swollen cheek and realized that the person he had just pointed at was the big brother with scar on his face.
Originally, this should have been a seamless cooperation, but who knew that just when Scarface was about to hit Long Yi, he suddenly dodged to the right without any warning.
A strange light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the two Wan sisters who realized it later. Long Yi had actually predicted the scam of Fatty Chen's men in advance and resolved it perfectly.
Long Yi applauded the wonderful performance before him and said sarcastically, "I've been truly astonished by the performances of these award-winning actors. It's a waste of talent to come to this little treasure garden to try to scam people. You might as well go find a job in Hollywood."
The scar-faced men listened to Long Yi's mocking words, and their faces changed for a moment, but the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. The worst that could happen is that they would just rob openly and then hide from the limelight.
"Hmph! Boy, now that you're out of the Treasure Garden, there aren't so many rules and regulations, and Master Wan isn't here to protect you. The knife is about to be placed on your head. It's better to spend money to avoid disaster."
"I don't ask you how much for this empress dowager's jade ruyi. Just give me two million." The scarred man stared at Long Yi sinisterly, fiddling with the three-edged military bayonet in his hand in a domineering manner.
Long Yi found it funny in his heart. Was this a scam and now a robbery?
He used a trace of Xuantian Qi to explore the object under the black cloth, and was shocked.
