"You're really impressive, Brother Dong. But what about Zhu Shao? Will he be okay?"
"I don't know about that. I think until things become clearer, we should keep our distance from Zhu Shao to avoid getting dragged into any trouble," Dong Mingshui replied.
"That's true, that's true." The young masters all nodded in agreement, demonstrating their tendency to scatter like monkeys when a tree falls.
After Zhu Xiangyue and his lawyer were escorted out, they continued to struggle. However, when Shi Hao pulled out his credentials and revealed his identity, Zhu Xiangyue and his lawyer were left dumbfounded.
"Wait, that old man is a general? Does that mean the Jiang kid is actually friends with a general?"
"Even if Mr. Jiang has connections in the military, he can't just hit people. Our chairman has been beaten like this; everyone is equal before the law," the lawyer couldn't help but say.
Shi Hao let out a cold smile.
"By the way, there's something I forgot to mention. The Mr. Jiang you referred to is actually a Major General. If you want to sue him, going through the usual channels won't work; you'll need to submit your lawyer's letter to the General Headquarters. We'll handle it from there," Shi Hao said.
"A Major General? He’s a Major General?" The lawyer was taken aback; he had never dealt with such high-ranking officials before. From Shi Hao's attitude, it was clear that even if they pursued legal action, they had no chance of winning.
"What should we do, Chairman? Should we still file a lawsuit?" The lawyer looked at Zhu Xiangyue.
Although Zhu Xiangyue felt indignant and wanted revenge, he also understood that escalating the situation would not be beneficial for him. Although the Zhu Family was a prominent clan, they lacked some foundational support in Huaxia and could not afford to offend people of higher status.
Zhu Xiangyue shook his head, indicating that it was better to let it go. He decided to take it as a silent loss; after all, a gentleman's revenge is best served ten years later. Temporarily enduring was for the sake of future rise—a form of self-comfort for Zhu Xiangyue.
At the same time, he began to feel wary of Yue Hui, realizing that Yue Hui had such powerful backing and that he needed to be more cautious in the future.
Inside the club, Jiang Chen and Zeng Xianyi walked into the auction venue while chatting. The venue was quite spacious, divided into two levels with ten private rooms on either side of the second floor—only those with significant backgrounds could enter these rooms.
Yue Hui had one private room, and Zeng Xianyi had another.
"Mr. Jiang, why don't you come sit with me? I have something I want to discuss with you," Zeng Xianyi said with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you keep Zeng Lao company? We'll just stay here with Miss Yue," Zhou Rongli suggested wisely.
Jiang Chen nodded and entered Zeng Xianyi's private room.
Zhou Rongli and the others went into Yue Hui's room.
"Zeng Lao, what’s going on?" Jiang Chen asked directly upon entering the room.
"Mr. Jiang, you're just in time. Among Li Huan Guo's collection is an extraordinary landscape painting that captivates anyone who observes it. I've been drawn in several times; however, each time I see a particular Taoist temple in the painting, I'm frightened away by the divine beast outside it. This time you're here, Mr. Jiang; you can surely unravel the mystery of this landscape painting. I'll bid on it and gift it to you," Zeng Xianyi said.
"Zeng Lao, there's no need for you to spend so much. As long as it's truly a good item, I will naturally bid for it," Jiang Chen said with a smile. It seemed that this visit was indeed worthwhile, as Li Huan Guo had collected quite a number of valuable items.
