789 Too Precious to Show

With the treasures in these three boxes, Ye Feng no longer cared about the other items in the stalls.

When he came, he had already glanced around. The things on those stalls were half real and half fake, and there were few high-quality items in those real ones.

He had already bought the most valuable one. There were others that were worth hundreds of thousands. It was not worth his effort. It was better to leave them for others to drink some soup.

Now he had three boxes. He sorted out those things and hired a few porters to carry the three boxes out.

“Be gentle. Don’t break the things inside.”

Old Sun had absolute trust in Ye Feng’s strength. Seeing how much he valued this box, he naturally paid attention to it and kept reminding the movers.

Just as the people from Maple Leaf Pavilion were busy helping out, they suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind them. “Hehe, you found a new master so quickly?”

Everyone turned around and saw Yao Shunmin leading a group of people from Purple Bamboo Pavilion over. They had also hired a few movers to move things. It could be seen that their gains were not small.

The words he said just now were clearly directed at Liu Zimu.

Liu Zimu followed behind Ye Feng and looked at him coldly. He did not explain anything.

However, Sun Shouyi couldn’t take it and immediately retorted, “Yao Shunmin, watch your mouth.”

Yao Shunmin sneered. “Did I say something wrong? He was working for Purple Bamboo Pavilion just now, but now he betrayed his old master and fled to your Maple Leaf Pavilion. He’s simply an ingrate.”

When the antique dealers nearby saw that there was a commotion here, they all surrounded him and began to point at Liu Zimu.

Lin Qianqian was a little angry when she heard his harsh words. “Yao Shunmin, do you still have any shame? You were the one who despised Mr. Liu for ruining your plans and spoke coldly to him. That was why Mr. Liu left your Purple Bamboo Pavilion in a fit of anger, and now you’re making a countercharge?”

Yao Shunmin snorted coldly. “He carried our Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s bowl and smashed our Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s pot. Can’t I say a few words to him? I even suspect that you guys have colluded long ago to deliberately set a trap for our Purple Bamboo Pavilion.”

There were many local antique dealers in the surroundings. None of them wanted to see Maple Leaf Pavilion successfully enter Yang Cheng, so they began to follow Yao Shunmin’s lead.

“So it was Maple Leaf Pavilion who colluded with Liu Zimu to trick us?”

“I knew it. That kid didn’t even look carefully when he walked to the stall, and he could pick out a teacup worth 5 million? This was too ridiculous. It turned out that the other party had already discussed it beforehand.”

“Sigh, it’s hard to guard against a traitor. How did Purple Bamboo Pavilion produce such a traitor?”

“This Maple Leaf Pavilion is too shameless. In order to enter Yang Cheng, they actually used such despicable methods. We must boycott them.”

“That’s right. We must resolutely boycott these unscrupulous merchants from entering Yang Cheng and ruin the reputation of our antique industry…”

Under the encouragement of this group of people, many people who did not know the truth also joined the condemnation camp.

It had to be said that Yao Shunmin’s move was quite vicious.

Not only did he want to completely ruin Liu Zimu’s reputation, but he also wanted Maple Leaf Pavilion to never be able to enter Yang Cheng.

Liu Zimu was an honest person. He was already trembling with anger. “Yao Shunmin, you’re slandering me. When did I collude with Maple Leaf Pavilion? It was clearly you…”

Yao Shunmin didn’t give him the chance to continue and immediately interrupted him. “The truth is right in front of everyone. You’re hanging out with the people from Maple Leaf Pavilion. What else do you have to quibble about?”

Sun Shouyi was also furious. “You chased Mr. Liu away with your own hands, but you can’t allow others to invite him back? Aren’t you guys too overbearing?”

Yao Shunmin glanced at their boxes and rolled his eyes. “Oh, you mean I’ve wronged him?”

Sun Shouyi nodded. “Of course. You should know better than me what kind of person Mr. Liu is. He definitely wouldn’t do anything to betray us.”

A faint smile appeared on Yao Shunmin’s face. “I really want to believe Mr. Liu, but others might not believe him. There’s only one way to remove the suspicion on him.”

As expected, Sun Shouyi took the bait. “What method?”

Yao Shunmin pointed at Ye Feng, then pointed at the three boxes. “If you want to prove that Liu Zimu did not collude with you, you have to prove that this kid really has that kind of strength. This box is filled with antiques that he had picked out, right? It just so happens that we have also picked a lot of good things. Let’s take them out and compare them. If the items you choose this time can still beat us, then I’ll believe you.”

Sun Shouyi could not make the decision. He could only turn around and look at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng glanced at Yao Shunmin. A cold smile appeared on his face. “I’m sorry, the things in the box are too precious. It is not convenient to show them.”

Yao Shunmin immediately laughed out loud. “I think you’re afraid, right? If you don’t dare to show it, it means that you and Liu Zimu are colluding to deliberately scam our Purple Bamboo Pavilion. You must give us an explanation today.”

Ye Feng looked at him coldly. “What explanation do you want?”

Yao Shunmin looked straight at him and said firmly, “As a punishment, your Maple Leaf Pavilion must promise not to enter Yang Cheng for fifty years.”

As soon as he said this, a burst of exclamations immediately erupted from the scene.

“D*mn, isn’t Boss Yao too ruthless? Can’t enter Yang Cheng for 50 years?”

“Yang Cheng is the largest city in the South Guangdong Province. If they can’t enter Yang Cheng, Maple Leaf Pavilion will be trapped in Zhonghai forever.”

“Serves them right. Who asked Maple Leaf Pavilion to play dirty? This is the punishment for those who did not follow the rules.”

“Boss Yao is ruthless enough to have me like him.”

Sun Shouyi and the others were also anxious. If Maple Leaf Pavilion really promised not to enter Yang Cheng for 50 years, they would have to hide in that small place in Zhonghai forever and slowly walk toward destruction.

Liu Zimu’s face turned pale from Yao Shunmin’s anger. “I, Liu Zimu, have been honest all my life. I have never done anything without a conscience. I’m willing to die to prove my innocence.”

With that, he rushed towards the truck that had just finished unloading and was about to leave.

This change happened too suddenly, so much so that no one could react in time.

When they came back to their senses, Liu Zimu was about to get under the truck.

A tragedy seemed unavoidable.
