Thank you, "The Remaining Midsummer" brother for your support; thank you, "The Last Tear" brother for your support; thank you, "Buddy" brother for your support; thank you, "CN·Maple" brother for your support; thank you, "Comma Sign" brother for your support; thanks to the brothers for the support!

"Yes, it’s Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan." Peng Lianpeng’s gaze slightly condensed, and he cautiously glanced at Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan before he rapidly ascended the nearby stairs.

Soon, Peng Lianpeng was on the second floor, and he pushed the door and entered a room.

In the room, Jiang Xingwei and the manager of the antique shop were quietly talking about something.

"Young Master Wei, Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan are downstairs in our antique shop." Peng Lianpeng approached Jiang Xingwei and whispered in his ear.

"Li Changlin, Lin Ruonan!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingwei’s face immediately darkened, "In that case, you take Manager Zhou downstairs to identify those two, and then, Manager Zhou, you arrange for someone to slip this jade pendant into Li Changlin’s pocket."

While talking, Jiang Xingwei took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Peng Liangpeng.

"Young Master Wei, rest assured, I know what to do. Manager Zhou, let’s go downstairs!" Peng Lianpeng took the jade pendant and immediately looked up at the middle-aged man sitting opposite Jiang Xingwei.

This middle-aged man was Manager Zhou, the person in charge of the Xingwei Antique Shop.

The Xingwei Antique Shop was owned by the Jiang Family, and Jiang Xingwei had already begun to take over some of the family’s businesses, including the management of this antique shop.

Manager Zhou quickly stood up to respond, then told Jiang Xingwei to wait a moment, and followed Peng Liangpeng out of the room.

Once the two had left, Jiang Xingwei suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table, "Li Changlin, this time I want to see how you die!"

The jade pendant Jiang Xingwei had handed to Peng Lianpeng was worth more than a hundred thousand. As long as Peng Lianpeng successfully arranged for someone to slip the jade pendant into Li Changlin’s pocket, he would definitely have a way to ensure Li Changlin rotted in prison.

Peng Lianpeng led Manager Zhou downstairs. Since both Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan had seen him before, Peng Lianpeng naturally didn’t dare let them see him.

He stood at the corner of the wall and pointed ahead, saying, "Manager Zhou, look, it’s those two who offended Young Master Wei. You’ll need to arrange for someone clever to secretly put this jade pendant into that man’s pocket."

"Don’t worry, Brother Peng, just leave it to me." Taking the jade pendant, Manager Zhou walked out briskly, "Xiao Yang, come over here," he said, waving his hand while walking.

Xiao Yang was a young and beautiful woman, and at that moment, she was introducing a middle-aged couple to the designs and prices of jade pendants. Hearing Manager Zhou’s call, she quickly apologized and then trotted to Manager Zhou’s side, "Manager Zhou, what can I do for you?"

"Xiao Yang, listen to me." Since this was a shady task, Manager Zhou naturally had to be cautious. He sneaked a glance at Li Changlin’s direction and then whispered into Xiao Yang’s ear, "Xiao Yang, later you need to sneak this jade pendant into that young man’s pocket. This task is assigned by Young Master Wei, and if you handle it well, I will promote you to store manager next month."

"Promote me to store manager?" Xiao Yang looked up at Manager Zhou with excitement, thrilled beyond belief.

To know, the treatment of a store manager is much more substantial than that of a mere clerk; not to mention other benefits, just the salary alone could be at least six thousand a month.

If you add in the commission, it might even reach ten thousand a month.

"That’s right." Manager Zhou nodded affirmatively.

"Alright, Manager Zhou, rest assured, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed," Xiao Yang excitedly took the jade pendant that Manager Zhou discreetly passed to her and clenched it tightly in her hand.

"Go on, you don’t have to worry about that middle-aged couple, I’ll take care of them." Manager Zhou smiled and nodded, then walked straight towards the couple.

"That’s great, I’ll be a store manager very soon!" Xiao Yang took a deep breath, and then headed straight towards where Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan were.

"Hello, I apologize for the wait." Upon arriving next to Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan, Xiao Yang said with a smile.

"The quality of the jade pendants here doesn’t seem very impressive!" It was only then that Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan inspected the jade pendants at two counters, noting the highest-priced one was just over six thousand yuan, so the quality was pretty much as expected.

"The jade pendants here are all mid to low-end. If you’re not satisfied, we have higher-end jade pendants over there, but the prices for those start at over a hundred thousand," Xiao Yang said with a smile, though she was quite nervous inside.

Although Xiao Yang didn’t know why Manager Zhou had given her such a task, slipping a jade pendant secretly into someone else’s pocket was clearly no good deed.

But for her future, Xiao Yang didn’t think too much about it.

However, she had never done anything like this before and was naturally very nervous.

"Okay, then please lead the way!" Li Changlin could afford jade pendants worth over a hundred thousand, planning to buy two—one for himself and the other as a gift to Lin Ruonan.

"Of course, all our high-end jade pendants are over there, please follow me." Xiao Yang walked up to Li Changlin’s side and extended her left hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Ruonan, let’s go take a look," Li Changlin turned and said to Lin Ruonan with a smile.

"Great opportunity!" Xiao Yang, who had been watching Li Changlin, saw a flash of excitement in her eyes.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she stretched out her right hand and quickly stuffed the jade pendant into Li Changlin’s pants pocket.

Xiao Yang’s movements were fast and covert; after all, Li Changlin had just turned to look at Lin Ruonan, and Lin Ruonan’s view was blocked by Li Changlin’s body, making it impossible to see Xiao Yang’s actions.

One could say that under such circumstances, almost no one could detect Xiao Yang’s maneuver.

But who is Li Changlin?

If it were a few days earlier, Li Changlin might indeed have failed to notice Xiao Yang’s subtle action.

However, the Li Changlin of today was a master of the Nine Yang Divine Art, his strength far surpassing that of Peng Lianpeng.

So, Xiao Yang’s subtle movement didn’t escape Li Changlin’s senses at all.

"This woman, what has she put in my pocket!" Li Changlin’s eyes flashed coldly, sensing something was not right.

However, he didn’t let it show.

This situation seemed like Xiao Yang was deliberately trying to frame him, and Li Changlin became highly alert.

Although he didn’t know what Xiao Yang had slipped into his pocket at the moment, if he were to take it out now, he might be immediately accused in return.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Li Changlin couldn’t afford to be careless.
