Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Overthrown Again
"Fifty thousand?"
Lin Youdong’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached once again, but as he looked at the damaged TV, DVD player, vintage turntable, and purple clay teapot and tea set, he instantly entered a mode of self-comfort: fortunately, luckily, they didn’t claim the purple clay teapot and tea set were antiques too.
Not wanting to outsmart himself, he agreed honestly, "Okay, I’ll compensate, I don’t want the vase fragments anymore, I’ll pay you one hundred and five thousand, I’ll go get the money right now."
He had no intention of actually paying; he planned to take the opportunity to bring in two even more formidable allies to turn defeat into victory.
Lin Youdong, with his crooked ideas, feared Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci wouldn’t let him return, yet neither of them objected.
As he left, Meng Chuyue cautioned, "If you’re not back in one hour, I’m calling the police."
Lin Youdong’s eyes dodged, "It’s night now, it takes time to arrange for more than a million."
"You definitely have gold bars, right? Those will do as well."
"...Okay."
In less than an hour, Lin Youdong returned with two young men of lean and sturdy build.
Each young man carried a small case, looking like servants carrying money for Lin Youdong, but they were actually high-level thugs he had hired for fifty thousand just moments before.
After entering the house, Lin Youdong slammed the door shut and pointed at Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci, "It’s those two."
On hearing this, the men’s expressions turned fierce, and they tossed their cases onto the floor and rushed at Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue with swinging fists and kicking feet.
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue were ready for this and, curling their lips slightly, stepped forward to meet their adversaries.
Meng Jingfen’s family, Zhao Sulan, and Lin Fangwei smiled even wider: Lin Youdong had brought in an expert this time, and Meng Chuyue was done for.
Unfortunately, their smiles barely had time to fully stretch before instantly wilting — after exchanging only a couple of blows, Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue had their aggressors spitting blood and collapsing to the floor.
Meng Chuyue walked up and knocked Lin Youdong to the ground with a kick, then delivered two more harsh kicks, and with a cold face opened the case he had brought, seeing it full of real gold and cash, coldly said, "I’m counting to ten; hurry up and get out, or I’ll call the police right now. Ten, nine, eight..."
The few people, worried about further retaliation from Meng Chuyue, quickly escaped.
After closing the door, Meng Chuyue, looking at the money and gold bars, asked Shen Ci, "This money, I got it for you, what do you plan to do with it?"
Shen Ci gave a bitter smile, "Although I need money, I won’t take ill-gotten gains."
Meng Chuyue bit her lip and smiled, "Then take fifty thousand for property damage, and donate the rest."
"Donate? Okay. But it’s not good to just donate it like that.
There’s a charity auction in a few days, I’ll contribute a hundred-year-old ginseng, then use this million to bid it back."
Meng Chuyue’s thoughts stirred, "A charity auction? Will there be antiques there?" Meng Chuyue, who did not understand antique appraisal, asked this upon suddenly thinking that hoarding antiques was also a great way to make money in this era.
Even if the prices of antiques at the auction were somewhat inflated, it would still be worth it.
Shen Ci, not understanding why, replied dryly, "Of course. Are you interested in antiques?"
"Yes, I’m thinking of buying some for investment, the antiques there are guaranteed to be authentic, right?"
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow, "Of course, authoritative Treasure Appraisers will authenticate them."
"Can anyone attend?"
"Only people from the wealthy circles can. But they can bring friends, do you want to go? Should I ask Fu Ran to take you?"
Shen Ci really wanted to take Meng Chuyue himself, but people from the Shen Family would definitely be at such an event.
He didn’t want to put Meng Chuyue in such danger.
And of his three good friends, Long Yue was lovesick; Su Jinnian was aloof but treated Meng Chuyue quite specially — he didn’t feel safe entrusting her to them.
Fu Ran was easygoing and had a girlfriend, making him the most suitable.
