Two thousand?
"Pfft..."
Shi Dafeng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Shi Mingwei was also so enraged that his whole body trembled, his expression contorted.
At this moment, both father and son felt their cheeks burning hot, as if being slapped repeatedly by countless palms.
This was the consequence of their own meddling!
They could have just properly displayed the Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting, but instead, they had to go and provoke Chen Xiaobei.
Provoking Chen Xiaobei was bad enough, but they even dared to mock Lan Mengchen!
This was purely courting death!
If Chen Xiaobei didn't teach them a lesson, who else would he teach?
At this moment, the Shi father and son wished they could pounce on Chen Xiaobei, tear his flesh, and drink his blood!
But they couldn't.
Because this result was Muring Tian's decision.
No matter how angry they were, it was useless.
If they offended Murong Tian, the Shi family's loss wouldn't be just 200 million; they could face total destruction at any moment!
This was the arrogance of the strong!
A single word determines fate!
The weak can only obey, with no way to reverse it!
"Mingwei... let's go..."
Shi Dafeng's mouth was filled with blood, his eyes bloodshot, his expression as ferocious as a ghost.
Undoubtedly, in his heart, an irreconcilable hatred had been forged with Chen Xiaobei!
As soon as they left, the entire mansion became lively.
Such a rare opportunity to appreciate a national treasure up close didn't come often, so everyone carefully examined it and vied to take photos as souvenirs.
"Mr. Chen, forgive my boldness, but do you plan to sell this Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting?"
At this time, Mr. Ma walked over and asked respectfully.
At first, he looked down on Chen Xiaobei, but now he even changed his address to "you".
It was clear that Chen Xiaobei's status in everyone's eyes had risen along with this Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting.
No one would look down on him anymore.
"Sell?"
Chen Xiaobei was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded and said: "I'm willing to sell it. The price is 200 million. If you can pay in cash, you can take the painting away."
In Chen Xiaobei's eyes, antiques were all trivial; soft sister coins (slang for RMB) were the real deal!
"This..."
Mr. Ma swallowed and said: "Can I pay in installments?"
"That's not possible. It has to be a one-time payment. I don't like dragging things out." Chen Xiaobei shrugged, his attitude clear.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma said disappointedly: "Then there's no way... Don't look at my net worth of 1 billion, but most of it is real estate. It's hard to withdraw 200 million in cash in the short term..."
Chen Xiaobei was stunned. He didn't expect this Mr. Ma to have a net worth of 1 billion! If even he couldn't withdraw 200 million in cash, I'm afraid no one present could.
Just as Chen Xiaobei was considering whether to lower the price, Murong Tian walked over.
"Do you mind if I buy this Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting, Mr. Chen?" Murong Tian asked politely.
"Of course not, but..." Chen Xiaobei hesitated.
"Money is not a problem. Give me your account number, and I can transfer the money immediately." Murong Tian said casually.
F*ck!
This is what a real tycoon looks like!
No! This is a god-tier tycoon!
200 million in cash transferred just like that. Compared to Mr. Ma, Murong Tian's net worth was probably over 10 billion!
Simply awesome beyond words!
Chen Xiaobei didn't hesitate and immediately reported his account number.
In just five minutes, 200 million in cash was fully credited to his account.
Looking at that long string of numbers, Chen Xiaobei felt like he was dreaming, so happy it was out of this world!
After receiving the money and leaving the painting behind, Chen Xiaobei left with Lan Mengchen and Uncle Qin.
"Xiaobei, I really can't figure you out more and more... You can tell fortunes, and you can casually take out antiques... Could you be a tomb robber?"
As soon as the car drove out of the manor, Lan Mengchen couldn't wait to ask.
"Hehe! You're really smart!"
Chen Xiaobei grinned mischievously: "That's right! I'm the legendary tomb raider! Girl, are you interested in learning the Dragon-Seeking Technique from me?"
"Stop being silly!" Lan Mengchen pouted and gave him a playful glare.
"Alright, I'm not joking with you. Give me your account number, and I'll return the money to you." Chen Xiaobei said seriously.
"Okay."
Lan Mengchen was an intelligent girl. She knew Chen Xiaobei didn't want to talk about the antique matter, so she didn't ask further.
Chen Xiaobei then completed the transfer.
Just yesterday, he was still worried about this sum of money.
He never expected that today, not only would he pay off the debt, but he would also have 190 million left!
If he returned to Chen Village, this amount would be more than enough to buy the entire village.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei really wanted to go back as soon as possible.
His parents had worked hard to send him to study in the city. This time when he went back, he must make his parents proud.
Hmm, first, find someone to renovate the villa as soon as possible. Once the new home is ready, I'll go pick up my parents immediately!
Chen Xiaobei made up his mind on the spot, really feeling an urge to return home.
Back at school, Lan Mengchen happened to have a class to attend.
Chen Xiaobei also had a task long planned, so he went straight to the outside of the college office building to keep watch.
He had calculated yesterday that Lin Xiang would be in danger tonight, so he specifically waited here.
Tonight, he would follow Lin Xiang, help her resolve the danger, and by the way, find out the ins and outs of the matter.
"Which class are you from? What are you sneaking around here for?"
At this time, a chubby man in his fifties walked over and stared at Chen Xiaobei.
"Hello, Vice Principal Wang. I'm not doing anything. I'll leave right now."
Chen Xiaobei mumbled an excuse, his eyes filled with disgust.
This chubby man was Wang Jianren, the vice principal of Ivy University.
In his fifties, his head was bald like a Mediterranean, his buck teeth were yellow and crooked, and a hundred words meaning "ugly" couldn't describe his appearance.
That was not all.
The key point was that he was a well-known old lecher!
He often took advantage of female teachers through underhanded means, and even slept with many art students. Most shamelessly, he once openly broke into the girls' bathroom under the pretext of inspection!
Because of this, not only Chen Xiaobei, but most students in the school were very disgusted with him.
Chen Xiaobei turned around and left. Even talking to him for one more sentence made him feel nauseous.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei didn't go far. He just found a hidden spot and continued to keep watch.
But just a few minutes later, a scene that made Chen Xiaobei crazy appeared!
The scumbag Wang walked out of the office building with a female teacher.
And that female teacher was exactly Lin Xiang!
How could this be allowed!?
Chen Xiaobei didn't hesitate and immediately followed them.
...
Wang Jianren drove all the way to the Shangri-La Hotel.
This was a five-star hotel integrating catering, entertainment, and accommodation. Having a meal here was fine, but after the meal, getting a room was even more convenient!
It went without saying what Wang Jianren was up to.
However, just as Chen Xiaobei got out of the taxi and was about to follow them in, a dry, thin hand grabbed his shoulder!
