Thank you, Brother Period, for your patronage, and thanks for your support!
However, Peng Lianpeng could now only issue some useless threats.
His right leg had been shattered by Li Changlin’s internal strength, so moving his body was extremely difficult for Peng Lianpeng.
Moreover, he knew that even if he rushed over now, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for Lin Ruonan.
Peng Lianpeng refused to believe that the sneak attack he had made just before resulted in his leg being twisted off by himself.
Just why had this guy become so formidable?
To think that just two days ago, he could have handled Lin Ruonan easily with just one hand!
Peng Lianpeng couldn’t figure it out, and naturally, he didn’t know that such a terrifying internal strength technique as the Nine Yang Divine Art existed in this world.
Furthermore, this guy actually had the gall to suspect Lin Ruonan.
"Jiang Xingwei, you really won’t apologize?" Li Changlin didn’t take Peng Lianpeng’s threats seriously at all.
His strength had long since surpassed anything Peng Lianpeng could contend with.
While speaking, Li Changlin proceeded to unlock his smartphone.
"Don’t take photos, don’t! I apologize, I apologize." Seeing Li Changlin was about to take his picture, Jiang Xingwei suddenly became frightened.
He was, after all, the eldest young master of the Jiang Family, and many people in Jincheng knew him.
If a photo of him kneeling were to be uploaded online, he would be truly finished.
He might even be stripped of his right to be the Jiang Family’s next Family Head.
Jiang Xingwei truly didn’t dare to gamble; under these circumstances, he had no choice but to bow his head and compromise.
"Hmph, if only you knew this earlier, why did you have to start anything in the first place." Li Changlin retracted his hand and said coldly, "Well, then hurry up. My time is precious, and I have no interest in continuing this with you."
"I’m sorry, Li Changlin. I shouldn’t have suspected you of stealing the jade pendant from our shop. All of it was my fault, I apologize." Although he felt extremely humiliated, Jiang Xingwei had no choice but to lower his proud head due to the circumstances.
"Fine, I forgive you. I accept your apology." Li Changlin chuckled lightly, put away his phone, and turned to Lin Ruonan, "Ruonan, let’s go. We’ll check out some other shops."
"Ah, ah, sure, okay." Lin Ruonan snapped out of her daze upon hearing Li Changlin’s voice.
She was completely shocked by what had just happened.
Lin Ruonan could never have imagined that Li Changlin would possess such tremendous capabilities. "Could it be, what Changlin gave me to eat that day?"
Her mind wandered as she suddenly remembered what Li Changlin had given her to eat that morning.
Initially, Lin Ruonan even suspected Li Changlin, thinking that he might have had some wicked intentions towards her.
But after she returned to the Capital City, she discovered that she had actually advanced to the level of Dark Energy, which lead her to such speculations.
However, now wasn’t the right time to ask. Lin Ruonan obediently nodded then followed Li Changlin, quickly making their way through the crowd and leaving.
"Let’s go, let’s go, there’s nothing exciting to see anymore."
"What an exciting day, Boss Jiang really made a fool of himself this time."
"Haha, I’ve already recorded the sight of him kneeling, I’m going to post it in my circle of friends."
"Why wait, I’ve already posted it. I’ve got dozens of likes from my friends already."
"Framing a guest for theft, that’s really outrageous."
"Our antiques market is plagued with such nuisances, which is why our reputation has been worsening."
Soon, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed in twos and threes. However, when Jiang Xingwei heard those comments, his resentment towards Li Changlin deepened even more.
At this moment, Peng Lianpeng hopped over on one leg and arrived next to Jiang Xingwei. Manager Zhou and other employees from the Xingwei Antique Shop also hurried over.
"My, my feet are numb... quickly, help me up." Jiang Xingwei struggled several times but felt his legs were powerless. He quickly looked up at Manager Zhou.
"Quick, help Young Master Wei up," Peng Lianpeng’s face changed as he urgently called out.
"Peng Lianpeng, you better get to the hospital and have your leg treated." With Manager Zhou’s assistance, Jiang Xingwei finally managed to stand up slowly. He turned to Peng Lianpeng with a dark expression and said, "This isn’t over, contact your senior brother for me as soon as possible. I will make Li Changlin pay!"
"Understood, Young Master Wei, I won’t let him off." Peng Liangpeng replied through gritted teeth, filled with extreme hatred for Li Changlin.
Although Peng Lianpeng was still unclear why his leg had broken, he was certain that it must be related to Lin Ruonan and Li Changlin.
Peng Lianpeng knew Lin Ruonan had significant backing and that both he and the Jiang Family could not afford to offend her.
Therefore, he directed all his resentment towards Li Changlin, which seemed natural.
Unaware of their scheming, Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan had at that moment arrived at a shop that sold raw gemstones.
Earlier, when they had entered the antiques market, Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan had noticed the commotion here.
After they arrived, they saw that the place was still crowded with many others, and several cutting machines were clacking away, processing the raw stones.
"It’s green, it’s turned green!"
"Haha, I knew it would rise in value. Master, keep cutting, keep cutting."
"tmd, it collapsed again. Damn it, why is my luck so bad!"
"Hey, brother, sell me that piece of raw stone. I’ll offer 150,000."
"Oh, nice! This piece of raw stone is showing green too."
The scene was bustling, and the crowd of onlookers were cheering in waves. Around the five cutting machines, people were constantly speaking out loud; the atmosphere was truly thrilling.
"Changlin, you want to buy a raw stone? This is pretty much like gambling," said Lin Ruonan, standing outside the crowd with a complex expression.
Concerning the events that just occurred, she was still feeling surprised, and her impression of Li Changlin was becoming more and more enigmatic.
"Just trying my luck and seeing how it goes. So many people are having fun here; it looks quite interesting," Li Changlin said with a faint smile. In fact, he had already been prepared for this.
Visiting the raw stone shop wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision for Li Changlin.
Keep in mind that his Divine Tycoon Development System Storage Box currently contained eleven bottles of Clairvoyance Potion.
Li Changlin believed that with the help of the Clairvoyance Potion, he should be able to uncover some great finds.
However, since Li Changlin wasn’t too knowledgeable about the varieties of jade, it was better to search for some relevant information before proceeding.
So as he spoke, he took out his smartphone and quickly opened the browser to start searching for information related to jade stones.
Entering the term jade in the browser immediately brought up information about jade varieties and rankings.
Li Changlin clicked on the first link, and the browser immediately opened a new page.
