NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 45 – You’re not worthy to compete with Young Master Tang
Qin Kexin masked her emotions well as she took the amulet and spoke softly.
"Alright, thank you. I'll wear it."
"We're all friends here, no need to be so polite."
Ye Chen grinned smugly.
He knew that as long as Qin Kexin took the amulet home, the malevolent energy in her house wouldn't harm her.
Once it worked, she would definitely seek him out to solve the Qin Family's problems.
With that, his plan to subdue the Qin Family would be successful.
Then, he could deal with that brat Qin Ming, and the Qin Family would be his to command.
This time, he finally felt that everything was going to go smoothly!
Longya! It won't be long before you and I can enjoy burgers together again!
Qin Kexin nodded and carefully put away the amulet.
After wandering around the antique shop for a while, she left.
Ye Chen quickly followed her out.
Once they were gone, Tang Yu emerged from behind the counter.
He walked around and stopped in front of a display case, his eyes falling on a jade talisman.
The talisman was carved into the shape of a yin-yang fish, looking lifelike and undoubtedly a masterpiece.
The price tag on the yin-yang fish talisman was 880,000 yuan.
According to the original plot, Ye Chen would come to the shop soon and buy this yin-yang fish talisman.
Because it was a crucial prop for him to show off, it could absorb all the malevolent energy.
Looking at the yin-yang fish talisman, Tang Yu hesitated but decided not to take it away.
After all, he wasn't Fortune's Chosen.
He didn't start with all sorts of skills, and even if he had it, he wouldn't know how to use it.
According to the novel's original setting, the Dragon King was omnipotent.
Feng shui, medicine, gambling—he was proficient in all.
So this thing could only be used by him to solve problems.
But just watching Ye Chen easily take over the Qin Family, Tang Yu felt quite displeased.
He couldn't just stand by and watch his brother's family be taken over and ruined by this bastard.
Even the life of a villain matters!
After thinking for a moment, he decided to make a decision that went against his principles.
"Uncle Zhao, come here for a moment."
Tang Yu waved at Zhao Gaoshen, who was sitting behind the counter eating sunflower seeds.
Zhao Gaoshen quickly put down the seeds and ran over, looking at Tang Yu.
"What's up, Young Master Tang?"
"Keep an eye on this yin-yang fish talisman for me. Don't sell it to anyone except a customer named Ye Chen, got it?"
Tang Yu instructed.
This crucial prop had to end up in Ye Chen's hands to resolve the Qin Family's crisis, so there couldn't be any mistakes. This damn plot always falls apart, and he had to put in some effort.
Zhao Gaoshen nodded, feeling that the name Tang Yu mentioned sounded familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized.
Ye Chen, wasn't that the guy President Wang mentioned in the group chat recently?
He heard that this bastard dared to compete with Young Master Tang for a woman.
After President Wang gave him a hard time, he got promoted and sent abroad as a manager.
Could it be that heaven was giving him a chance?
He smiled knowingly, understanding the deeper meaning in Tang Yu's words.
"So, you want to set a trap for this guy, right?"
"And mark up the price, make it 30 million."
Tang Yu added.
Ye Chen had to get this prop, but it shouldn't come cheap.
Taking some money from this bastard for charity wasn't a bad idea either.
"Don't worry, Young Master Tang, I got it."
Zhao Gaoshen patted his chest hard, knowing this was his chance to shine.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."
Tang Yu gave Zhao Gaoshen a thumbs-up.
The Qin Family's plot had to proceed smoothly.
Once Ye Chen resolved the Qin Family's troubles, Tang Yu would find a way to expose this bastard's true colors from behind the scenes.
He couldn't face him head-on!
But he could still strike from the shadows!
After Tang Yu left the shop, Zhao Gaoshen immediately took out the yin-yang fish talisman from the display case.
This thing was something he personally acquired from outside; there were two in total, representing yin and yang.
Having worked in the shop for so many years, he was quite knowledgeable about these things.
He knew the true purpose of the yin-yang fish talisman.
"So that guy named Ye Chen wants to buy this to deal with malevolent energy?"
Zhao Gaoshen muttered to himself, then chuckled and fetched a box.
Inside the box was an identical talisman, the yin talisman of the yin-yang fish pair.
The yang talisman was used to eliminate malevolent energy!
The yin talisman, on the other hand, was used to nurture malevolent energy!
If placed in a place with heavy malevolent energy...
Hehehe!
After swapping the two, he put the yin talisman in the display case and adjusted the price to 30 million.
Satisfied with his work, he returned to the counter.
Quietly waiting to see the bastard who dared to compete with Young Master Tang fall into the trap!
After about half an hour, Ye Chen indeed walked in from outside.
He walked around the shop and stopped in front of the yin-yang fish talisman display case.
When he came in with Qin Kexin earlier, he had noticed this item and knew it was a great treasure for dealing with malevolent energy!
Originally, he didn't need such props to solve the Qin Family's problem; he could handle it himself.
But he didn't expect the feng shui of the Qin Family's old house to be so good.
The feng shui pattern of gathering wind and storing water had caused the malevolent energy to accumulate at an exaggerated rate after he tampered with it.
In this situation, he had to rely on external objects to solve it!
But when he saw the price, his face changed slightly, and he slapped the glass hard, shouting.
"Are you guys robbing people? This thing is priced at 30 million? Did you add two extra zeros by mistake?"
Zhao Gaoshen, who was eating sunflower seeds, walked over with a smile.
"Boss, we're not ripping you off. This is something we acquired last month."
"This is a treasure from the tomb of a prince from the Song Dynasty. The price is already very reasonable."
"Don't give me that. I know more about these things than you do. One word, 500,000, take it or leave it?"
Ye Chen said coldly.
One of the things he hated most in life was being ripped off!
"Friend, don't joke around. Yesterday, a feng shui master from Hong Kong said this was a great treasure and would come to buy it tomorrow."
"If you want it, take it. If not, forget it. I can sell it to anyone."
Zhao Gaoshen waved his hand and started to walk back to the counter.
Hearing that someone else wanted this item, Ye Chen's face changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and took out the money, slapping it on the table.
"Alright, alright, wrap it up for me."
This thing was expensive, but compared to conquering the Qin Family, it was nothing!
Once he took over the Qin Family, billions of assets would be his.
Zhao Gaoshen immediately smiled and ran over to pack the item for Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen left the shop, Zhao Gaoshen's smile turned cold.
He snorted, spat on the ground, and said disdainfully.
"(￣▽￣)／With this kind of trash, you think you can compete with our Young Master Tang? You're asking for death!"
