Liu Pingping came from a better family than Chen Shuifeng, and she was much more beautiful, with a figure that rivaled that of a model. It was hard for Chen Shuifeng not to feel jealous.
Xiong Sumei smiled and said, "Let's handle things here first, and we can talk about it when we return to Tianfu City."
"The current situation is difficult to manage. Kid, you might as well apologize to Boss Jin; you can't afford to offend him," Qian Wenwu sneered.
Jiang Chen ignored Qian Wenwu and simply cast a calm gaze at Jin Shengkai.
Jin Shengkai hurried over and, upon reaching Jiang Chen, unexpectedly knelt down.
"Mr. Jiang, I failed to recognize your greatness. Please forgive my ignorance and don’t hold it against me. This ten million and the Tang Dynasty Golden Buddha are my humble offerings; I hope you will accept them," Jin Shengkai stammered, his hands trembling as his subordinates opened a box containing ten million in cash along with the Tang Dynasty Golden Buddha.
Jiang Chen was not surprised by Jin Shengkai's actions. Although he had been out of the spotlight for two years, his name still held considerable weight in Huaxia's Underground World.
"I will accept the Golden Buddha, but as for this money, Boss Jin, I believe your ill-gotten gains should be used to build some good karma. Otherwise, if you were to die suddenly and find yourself in the underworld facing judgment, you might discover that your sins could lead you to a fate worse than death," Jiang Chen said with a smile. To him, ten million was insignificant; however, the Golden Buddha was indeed an antique that radiated a faint aura of Buddhism—keeping it as a decoration at home would be quite nice.
"Mr. Jiang is right; I will turn over a new leaf," Jin Shengkai quickly replied. Despite the cold weather, sweat beaded on his forehead. Fortunately, Jiang Chen accepted the Golden Buddha; as long as he did so, Jin Shengkai could escape this calamity.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No, nothing else," Jin Shengkai stuttered.
"Then step aside," Jiang Chen said coolly.
"Uh, okay," Jin Shengkai exclaimed in relief as he quickly stood up and respectfully moved aside.
"Let's go," Jiang Chen said to Xiong Sumei while playing with the Golden Buddha as he walked toward her car.
Xiong Sumei snapped back to reality and hurriedly caught up with him.
Qian Wenwu and his group were left dumbfounded; this situation seemed off. Wasn't Jin Shengkai supposed to come looking for trouble? Why was he apologizing to Jiang Chen instead? It was truly strange.
"Boss Jin, who is that kid? Why are you so afraid of him?" Qian Wenwu couldn't help but ask.
"You'd better be polite to Mr. Jiang; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude," Jin Shengkai's expression darkened, his face filled with frost.
Qian Wenwu was startled and dared not ask further questions; he quickly walked away.
However, this unexpected scene left Qian Wenwu and the others feeling uneasy. They had hoped that today Jin Shengkai would teach Jiang Chen a lesson but were shocked to find that Jiang Chen was even more formidable than they had imagined—a reality they struggled to accept.
"What on earth is going on? Did Jin Shengkai take some wrong medicine?" Qian Wenwu murmured.
"Jin Shengkai kept calling that kid Mr. Jiang. Could it be that he really has some significant background?" Li Chengdu speculated.
"Hmph! Just look at him—his clothing and taste scream loser. If someone like him had any real power, it would be unbelievable. Maybe Jin Shengkai mistook him for someone else?" Chen Shuifeng said skeptically.
