Chapter 22: Chance Encounter Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

More than ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in his 50s or 60s entered the hall with dozens of guards in tow under the eager gaze of the gawking crowd.

The whole retinue of people appeared very impressive.

The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing a black traditional tunic suit and manipulating two walnut balls made of jade in his hand out of habit. His menacing eyes revealed a rare shrewdness and wisdom.

When Young Master Chen saw the group of people, he immediately called out, “Uncle Qin, quickly tie these two people up. They dared to act with impunity on my territory. I must kill them…”

Before he could finish, Lu Chengsheng had already landed a slap on Young Master Chen’s face. “If you don’t want to die, then shut up!”

Qin Yin first looked at the wretched-looking Chen Wei, and then his eyes swept over Ye Si. He had spent decades traversing between the underworld and the world where the law ruled. He had encountered so many kinds of characters that nothing surprised him anymore.

However, the girl in front of him dared to beat up Chen Wei in public and still remained so calm under his intimidation. Such a display of courage was sufficient to prove that she was not an ordinary person.

Qin Yin’s dark eyes glinted, and his voice was indistinct. He asked tentatively, “Do you know what this place is? How dare you hurt people?”

Ye Si raised her eyes to look straight at him and answered, “Since you asked, I’ll tell you the truth. On the surface, it’s the most authoritative auction venue in Herlesburg, but in reality, it’s your underground market, the Holy Land of money laundering. Every year, there are at least 8,000, if not 10,000 relics that flow from here to all parts of the country and even abroad.”

Qin Yin’s expression was already extremely unpleasant when Ye Si said this.

Ye Si gave a scornful snort and said outright, “Of course, only 40% of the relics are authentic.”

As soon as she said that, the big shots in the surroundings started to whisper and discuss heatedly among themselves.

“Shut up! Who gave you the guts to speak such nonsense here?” Qin Yin was downright furious. He shouted and clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles made cracking sounds.

Ye Si appeared unperturbed. She said with a scornful laugh, “Do you know you’re going to be buried soon? Do you think that Mo Zhixuan can help you defy the heavens and change your fate when you do him a favor? This is so laughable.”

Qin Yin was shocked when he heard her. How did she know all this?

Could it be that she was the person that Elder Mo had been painstakingly planning and waiting for?

Almost instantly, Qin Yin’s furious expression turned warm and gentle like a spring breeze. He said politely, “Young lady, it was a misunderstanding just now. If you want to beat up this evil young master, then so be it. It’s no big deal. By the way, the auction is about to begin. I’ll take you there via the exclusive VIP passage.”

“Lead the way.”

Ye Si didn’t refuse. It would be a waste not to take this free ride.

When Chen Wei heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

This Qin Yin must be out of his mind!

Just as Chen Wei was about to speak, Ye Si turned back and shot him a look that frightened him so much that he quickly shut his mouth.

Forget it. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

After she exited Qin Yin’s territory, she would see how he would deal with her!

This time, Ye Si and Lu Chengsheng were not required to put on blindfolds. Qin Yin brought them to a very luxurious office. He pulled open a bookcase and revealed a dark room.

To the left of the dark room was a high-performance intelligent elevator that could seat four people.

After pressing the button, Qin Yin said hesitantly while they were waiting, “Young lady, in your opinion, is there any chance to change my fate?”

Lu Chengsheng burst out laughing. “You can’t be serious! Do you really think that taking our leader on an elevator ride can save your miserable life?”

Qin Yin stood rooted to the ground awkwardly, but he did not dare to act rashly.

If this girl was really the person that Elder Mo was waiting for, then wouldn’t she be more capable than Elder Mo?

As a real man, he knew when to yield and when to stand firm. He could not offend her!

Qin Yin smiled apologetically. “Then, what can I do to neutralize the karma?”

Ye Si looked at him and said solemnly, “No matter what you do, it won’t work. You have committed too many evil deeds that hampered the accumulation of hidden merits in your youth. There’s a saying that rings true. It is not that one will not receive one’s due retribution, but the time hasn’t come. Why is your body deteriorating without any illness? It was just a matter of reaping what you sowed. If it wasn’t for the fact that you have the good-fortune ancient jade that contains the Buddha’s ashes, do you think you could have lived until now?”

When Qin Yin heard this, the jade walnut balls in his hand suddenly stopped moving.

That piece of ancient jade with Buddha’s ashes was something Qin Yin had obtained from a large tomb in his early years, and it almost cost him his life. In order to prevent other people from coveting this item, he had asked a powerful master to encase it in fine mutton fat white jade, which he then carried on him every day to nurture his body.

Qin Yin didn’t expect this girl to see through his secret at a glance.

It was really brilliant!

Qin Yin looked at Ye Si with even more respect all of a sudden. He bowed deeply and said, “Miss, I beg you to save my life.”

Ye Si said slowly, “I told you. You can’t be saved.”

Before she could finish her sentence, the elevator door suddenly opened. A man with a demonic mask sat elegantly on the soft couch.

Under the mask, a pair of eagle eyes focused on the young girl, the expression in the depths of his eyes unfathomable.

Xi Zhimo’s heart trembled slightly.

Why was she here?
