"Are you three planning to stay here and watch the show? This is a private matter between me and Master Jin. I advise you not to get involved," Cao Yuanfang said coldly.
Since Jin Jiangming was not afraid of this military bigwig, he had no reason to be afraid either.
"We naturally have no interest in your affairs, but old sir, you just mentioned that Old Jin has a pair of bracelets. Coincidentally, my Young Master is also interested in those bracelets. It seems we all have the same purpose for being here," Qin Xiaoya said with a faint smile.
At this point, Cao Yuanfang's expression grew more serious. It turned out that someone else was also interested in the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, which complicated matters.
"Master Jin has collected at least eight pairs of bracelets; what we are interested in must be different," Cao Yuanfang said subtly.
"Qin Xiaoya, bring out the photo. We're not pretending to be confused here. Now that we've eaten, it's time to get down to business. I believe Old Jin is a smart man; some things are like a hot potato—holding onto them won't do any good and might even cost you your life," Jiang Chen said casually.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Qin Xiaoya quickly took out the photo of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings from her bag.
"This is what my Young Master is looking for; you should have seen it before, right?" Qin Xiaoya said, holding up the photo.
Seeing the picture in Qin Xiaoya's hand, both Jin Jiangming and Cao Yuanfang felt their hearts race. Although they tried to maintain their composure, their expressions were anything but natural.
"They actually have a clear photo of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings? That’s impossible! I've had them for decades without any photos leaking out. Where did they get this picture?" Jin Jiangming thought in shock, unable to believe that someone possessed a photo of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
Cao Yuanfang was more concerned and angry; an unexpected complication had disrupted his plans. It seemed he would need to deal with these three before he could obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
"I'm sorry, those bracelets are exquisite, but I've never seen them before. You three must have mistaken the person," Jin Jiangming said.
At this point, Cao Yuanfang refrained from mocking Jin Jiangming for pretending ignorance; he naturally hoped that Jiang Chen and his companions would simply leave.
However, when Cao Yuanfang fell silent, Jiang Chen looked at him and asked, "Is this the type of bracelet you're looking for?"
Cao Yuanfang was immediately put on the spot. After hesitating for a moment, he decided against complicating matters further and shook his head lightly. "No, you might really have made a mistake. Since Master Jin says he hasn't seen this pair of bracelets, you can leave now."
"Then it seems that the bracelet we are looking for is indeed not the same item," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Cao Yuanfang felt something was off as he observed Jiang Chen's nonchalant demeanor. He had an unsettling feeling that he had fallen into a pit—one that was deep enough that he wouldn't be able to climb out.
Jin Jiangming also felt uncomfortable; Jiang Chen's attitude and tone made him inexplicably anxious, as if Jiang Chen could see right through him. In front of Jiang Chen, he felt there were no secrets left to hide.
And indeed, that was the case.
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze to Jin Jiangming. As he looked at him with a slight smile in his eyes, Jin Jiangming felt an unexplainable tension rise within him.
"Although you all excel at pretending ignorance, it’s best not to do so in front of me. I want the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings," Jiang Chen stated plainly, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.
