A sudden appearance of a group of people caused everyone who was about to disperse to stop in their tracks.
They looked over, and everyone's expression changed.
This was because the one blocking their path was none other than Xie Yuankui.
Now, the crowd was even more reluctant to leave. Everyone knew that this Huang Sanye and Xie Yuankui were at odds, and Xie Yuankui's influence was considerably stronger than Huang Sanye's.
The onlookers all wanted to know how Huang Sanye would choose to respond to Xie Yuankui's pressure.
Seeing the people before him, Huang Sanye's expression also changed slightly.
He frowned and asked, "So it's Boss Xie. This young brother is a friend of my Huang Sanye. I hope Boss Xie can accommodate us."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuankui squinted and smiled, "Boss Huang, are you intending to protect this kid?"
Huang Sanye did not speak, which was an implicit acknowledgment.
"Hahahaha!"
"Boss Huang, I, Xie Yuankui, can give you this face."
Huang Sanye was about to cup his hands in thanks when he heard Xie Yuankui speak again, "However, this kid took something of mine, worth about ten billion. If you want to protect him, it's not impossible. Give me the money, and we'll leave."
Wow!
Ten billion!
The scene immediately erupted in an uproar.
Huang Sanye frowned and asked, "When did Boss Xie get such a good item? How come I didn't know?"
At this moment, Li Yuandao, who was standing behind Xie Yuankui, stepped forward. "This kid tricked me out of the pumpkin pot I was going to give to Boss Xie. This pumpkin pot is a genuine piece by Chen Ziqi, worth at least ten billion. If you don't believe me, Boss Huang can ask the person next to you."
Hearing this, Huang Sanye was startled.
He looked at Chen Mo beside him with surprise.
Chen Mo was calm. The moment he saw Li Yuandao, he knew why they had stopped them.
It was nothing more than coming for that pumpkin pot.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Boss Li, you truly have taken shamelessness to its extreme. In my opinion, from now on, anyone who doesn't understand the chilling meaning of the word 'shameless' just needs to look at your face, and they'll understand."
"You brat, how dare you insult me! I let you slip away last time due to negligence, but today, even if the Jade Emperor himself came, he couldn't save you!" Li Yuandao pointed at Chen Mo fiercely.
Chen Mo said playfully, "I'm telling the truth. You said I could pick anything I wanted from your shop, but now you're saying I stole your item. If this isn't shameless, then what is?"
Li Yuandao looked at Xie Yuankui and said, "Boss Xie, this item was what I intended to offer you. I didn't agree at the time, and this kid snatched it and left. You must uphold justice for me!"
Xie Yuankui nodded, "Don't worry, no one has dared to touch my Xie Yuankui's belongings yet."
Li Yuandao's eyes revealed a cunning glint.
Even if he gave the item to Xie Yuankui, he didn't want Chen Mo to benefit.
After all, Xie Yuankui owed him a favor, and from then on, Li Yuandao would have a smoother path in the black market.
Xie Yuankui turned his gaze back to Huang Sanye. "Boss Huang, are you paying the money or letting us pass?"
Huang Sanye's brows were tightly furrowed.
Xie Yuankui's words were already very clear; this was a threat to Huang Sanye.
He glanced at Chen Mo beside him, and Huang Sanye appeared very hesitant.
After all, Xie Yuankui's influence was not to be underestimated.
Chen Mo stood aside, saying nothing, calmly observing everything unfolding.
Finally, Huang Sanye took a step forward.
Just as everyone thought Huang Sanye would back down, Huang Sanye suddenly said, "Xie Yuankui, what if I choose to do neither?"
In an instant, everyone present was stunned.
None of them had expected Huang Sanye to choose to stand with Chen Mo!
Even the bodyguards following Huang Sanye looked bewildered.
Xie Yuankui narrowed his eyes. "Boss Huang, you have great spirit. However, opposing me for a mere brat is probably not a wise choice, is it?"
This was a final warning.
He had also made his intentions very clear.
Huang Sanye sneered, "We've been rivals for so many years. Do you think you can resolve our animosity over a pumpkin pot?"
Xie Yuankui's expression finally turned grim.
"Boss Huang, you have courage, but I will soon let you know what it means to regret!"
"Let's go."
With that, Xie Yuankui turned to leave.
Li Yuandao, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "Boss Xie, are... are we just leaving like this?"
He had just made a bold statement, and leaving like this would mean losing face.
Xie Yuankui shot Li Yuandao a glare.
Although his influence was greater than Huang Sanye's, making him directly confront Huang Sanye would likely cause the entire black market to suffer.
The other bosses would not agree to such a move.
Dealing with Huang Sanye would naturally have to be a gradual process.
Sensing Xie Yuankui's gaze, Li Yuandao shrank his neck, daring not to speak further.
However, his resentful eyes were fixed on Chen Mo.
"Stop."
But at this moment, Chen Mo's voice suddenly rang out.
Xie Yuankui, who had turned to leave, suddenly stopped.
"Brat? Do you need something?" Xie Yuankui glanced at Chen Mo and asked.
Chen Mo said calmly, "You came here to accuse me, labeled me a swindler, and now you're just leaving? Did you even ask for my opinion?"
Did you even ask for my opinion?!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was dumbfounded!
In the black market, no one had ever dared to speak to Xie Yuankui like this. Even Huang Sanye, after years of rivalry, remained polite when they met.
Everyone's assessment of Chen Mo was singular: this kid was courting death!
Even Huang Sanye, standing beside Chen Mo, frowned slightly, looking at Chen Mo with surprise.
He hadn't expected Chen Mo to say such a thing so suddenly.
A cold glint flashed in Xie Yuankui's eyes. "Brat, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. Do you really think Boss Huang can protect you?"
This was a direct provocation to Xie Yuankui's dignity.
Now, whether he wanted to or not, Xie Yuankui had to act.
"Mr. Chen." Huang Sanye called out with a frown, his expression quite serious.
Previously, he was confident that Xie Yuankui wouldn't dare to make a move, but now, he couldn't guarantee that Xie Yuankui wouldn't tear down the facade in public.
Chen Mo raised his hand to interrupt Huang Sanye. "Boss Huang, thank you for your help, but I've come to understand a principle now."
Huang Sanye looked at him with confusion.
Chen Mo continued, "That is, never give those who threaten you any opportunity."
Huang Sanye was shocked!
"Hahahahaha!"
Xie Yuankui burst into laughter.
"Brat, you have guts. Today, I'll see how you plan to not give me the opportunity to retaliate against you."
What Chen Mo said was nothing more than trying to leverage his status to create a scene, but in Xie Yuankui's eyes, it was simply showing off and courting death!
Chen Mo took a few steps forward, walking towards Xie Yuankui.
The bodyguards standing beside Xie Yuankui glared menacingly at Chen Mo.
