"Senior Li, please rest assured, it won't affect your affairs."
Hu Han replied repeatedly. Li Chonglou didn't say much more. As for what had just happened, it was clearly some internal conflict within the Hu family, and as an outsider, it wasn't easy for him to intervene. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of internal conflict for Hu Han, but would be even more disadvantageous to him.
However, what Li Chonglou didn't expect was that while he didn't want to cause trouble, some people were the exact opposite.
Outside the coffee shop, he, who had originally intended to treat his friends, was forced to leave in disarray because of Hu Han's affairs. But after calming down a bit, he was extremely unconvinced.
"This kid is usually so submissive. His behavior today is definitely because of that person from earlier!"
As Xiao Feng was fuming, the woman beside him suddenly spoke, "Exactly, Brother Feng. He definitely wants to show off in front of that person, and he's clearly using you as a tool."
Another man chimed in, "I think so too. I just don't know who that man is, to make him go to this extent."
Xiao Feng was already angry about losing face. Hearing the words of the two at this moment, he could no longer restrain himself.
"How far can someone recognized by a mere runt fly! He wants to act tough in front of this person? I've now dealt with the person he wants to impress. Let's see if he dares to show off in front of me again!"
"Brother Feng, what are you planning to do?"
"You two stay here and keep an eye on him. I'm going to make a call. Damn it, if I don't deal with him today, I won't be able to swallow this!"
After speaking, Xiao Feng took out his phone and left. A man and a woman exchanged glances and could only do as he said, guarding the entrance.
About ten minutes later, another young man returned to the entrance of the coffee shop at Xiao Feng's urging.
"I'm telling you, Brother Feng, this is my most realistic collectible."
"I want it to be realistic! It's fine, how much are these things worth?"
Before Xiao Feng could finish speaking, the man who brought it back was unhappy and retorted directly, "What do you mean how much are these things worth? Even if it's just a replica, it's worth eight hundred thousand yuan on the market, alright."
Xiao Feng's figure suddenly stopped.
"How much?"
"Eight hundred thousand, no funny business."
The man's name was Du Yun. He was a collector, and his hobby was a bit different from others. He liked collecting replicas and wasn't particularly interested in authentic items.
Because in his view, authentic items are unique, and often the product of a combination of timing, location, and human effort – predestined by fate. But replicas are different; they rely purely on personal skill. The more realistic the replica, the more skilled the person. This is entirely determined by people!
Therefore, Du Yun felt that realistic replicas were more romantic and interesting than authentic items.
And Xiao Feng was his client with the widest network, which was why he took out his most expensive jade Buddha collectible after just one phone call.
However, even though he was his biggest client, Du Yun still reminded him, "Brother Feng, you said that if it's damaged, you'll not only compensate me at the original price of the authentic item but also introduce me to better replicas."
Xiao Feng, who had been so confident, was already scared after hearing the price of eight hundred thousand yuan. Hearing the words "compensate at the original price of the authentic item" again, he couldn't help but ask cautiously.
"How much is the original price of this thing?"
"Over three million yuan, and that's last year's price. But for your sake, Brother Feng, let's say three million yuan."
Gulp. Xiao Feng secretly swallowed. Let alone three million, even eight hundred thousand was enough for him to handle. Although he had acknowledged a young master of the Sixteen Masters as his boss, it didn't mean he had a lot of money.
His daily life might look quite extravagant, but that was using his boss's money. To speak of his savings, people like him who enjoyed going to bars probably couldn't even come up with thirty thousand yuan!
However, Xiao Feng quickly reacted.
Damn it, it's not like I have to pay myself. What am I worried about?
Thinking this, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Feng's face as he said, "No, you should compensate according to the highest price! Over three million yuan, right? Then let's round it up to four million!"
Du Yun looked at him hesitantly, "This, are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure. When has Xiao Feng ever lied to you? Give me the thing."
Meanwhile, inside the coffee shop.
After their conversation, Li Chonglou finally gave Wu Ping's information to Hu Han. Without any delay, Hu Han began to use his connections to investigate in front of Li Chonglou.
Although Hu Han was a latecomer to the Hu family, he had accumulated some of his own connections through his own efforts. Moreover, as the saying goes, one should not look at the Buddha's face but at the monk's face. No matter how disreputable his background was, he was at least the publicly acknowledged second young master of the Hu family, so he had some potential.
While Li Chonglou was waiting, he suddenly saw Xiao Feng, who had left earlier, walking back in, heading directly towards them.
Li Chonglou's brows furrowed slightly. Hu Han was currently busy with his affairs, and if this guy came to cause trouble again, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist intervening.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Feng's target this time was not Hu Han, but himself.
As soon as he approached, Xiao Feng spoke to Li Chonglou in a commanding tone.
"You, come out with me!"
Hu Han, who was on the phone, subconsciously turned his head. When he realized what was happening, his expression changed drastically.
"Xiao Feng! Be polite to Senior Li!"
Hu Han stood up abruptly, but Xiao Feng didn't pay him any mind. Instead, he sneered at Li Chonglou.
"Could it be that you don't even have seeds? If your family has remaining seeds, then come out with me, otherwise, forget it."
After speaking, Xiao Feng didn't leave immediately but stared at Li Chonglou with a cold smile. However, he didn't know that because of this sentence, Li Chonglou had already developed a killing intent towards him.
Although his expression was blank, both Hu Han and Xiao Feng present suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop significantly. At this moment, in Li Chonglou's mind, Old An suddenly spoke to remind him.
"Little Li, control yourself a bit. Leaking too much killing intent will also trigger the curse's backlash."
Only then did Li Chonglou retract all his aura and stand up.
He still didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear. A hint of triumph flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, and then he turned and walked towards the entrance of the coffee shop.
"Senior Li!"
Seeing Li Chonglou leaving with Xiao Feng, Hu Han also quickly stood up and followed behind Li Chonglou. No matter how one looked at it, this matter had started because of him, and Hu Han naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Chonglou because of it.
Even though he knew that Li Chonglou's strength was not something he could compare to.
