In fact, Lu Chen could have settled the matter easily. But when he heard that Zhang Sanyuan wanted to break his hand, he changed his mind and decided to let others handle it instead.
It was best to let someone of the same caliber deal with these people and problems. That way, he could achieve better results.
Instead of calling Lu Zhong, Lu Chen called the man with the buzzcut-the boss of the underground forces in the Sandy Area.
The man with the buzzcut was named Song Hai, and he had two subordinates. One was Shi Jin, the other was Lin Tong. The three were known as the Three Marquises of the Water Margin. They were the masters of the underground forces in the Sandy Area.
Of course, they were just one of the gray forces that Lu Zhong secretly cultivated in Chongqing in the recent years.
Lu Chen felt that it was best for them to deal with people like Zhang Sanyuan.
"Very well, since you called for your men, I will have fun dealing with you then." Zhang Sanyuan was not the least bit anxious when he saw Lu Chen calling for backup.
There were also many mobsters, who weren't on good terms with him, in the shop today. He could take this opportunity to beat the dog before the lion, and assert his dominance in the Sandy Area of Chongqing.
As for the men Lu Chen called over, he did not even bother to fret over them, because he believed that even Lu Chen's men had to show respect to the big boss no matter who they were.
Perhaps Lu Chen's men were working under the big boss too.
Lu Chen smiled and kept quiet, then he simply walked to a chair and sat down.
Song Hai told him that he would not take long, being only ten minutes away.
"Young man, there's an old saying 'wearing away the rock with water'. If you had just sold me the cup earlier, you
wouldn't be in this situation now. Even if you want to sell it to me now, I no longer want to buy from you because of your ignorant attitude. If I buy it from you now, it will be an insult to Mr. Zhang." Yu Zhengtao shook his head and walked to the side to sit down. He wanted to see how Lu Chen would handle this situation.
The most important thing was that he vowed to get this cup no matter what. He believed that Zhang Sanyuan would certainly sell it to him as long as he was willing to spend a little more.
Everyone else shook their heads and laughed, none of them said another word.
Very soon, ten minutes had passed. Two cars arrived outside the antique shop on time, and seven to eight muscular men then got out of the car.
The first man to come out was a young man in his thirties with a buzzcut and a scar on his face. It was indeed a terrifying sight.
Next to him on both sides were two muscular men with fierce expressions whose age were similar to his.
"Song Hai, Shi Jin, Lin Tong, why are you here?" When Zhang Sanyuan saw the three people, he shuddered and greeted them immediately.
It had never crossed his mind that the men called over by Lu Chen were the leaders of the underground forces in the Sandy Area-the Three Marquises of the Water Margin.
The trio ignored him, and instead looked at Lu Chen who was smoking in a chair. Then, they strode into the shop.
The others had not figured out that Lu Chen had called over the Three Marquises of the Water Margin. They all thought that Zhang Sanyuan was the one who asked the trio to help out.
But when they saw that the three of them ignored Zhang Sanyuan and went straight to Lu Chen, confusion grew within them.
"Young Master Lu."
"Young Master Lu."
"Young Master Lu."
The Three Marquises of the Water Margin walked quickly to Lu Chen and saluted him respectfully in front of everyone.
Y-Young Master Lu?
When did someone like that appear in Chongqing?
There was only one man with the surname Lu-Lu Zhong-which was one of the richest men in the state. Since when did he have a son?
Everyone looked at the Three Marquises of the Water Margin and then at Lu Chen. They were a little confused for awhile.
Meanwhile, Zhang Sanyuan was mind- blown.
His big boss was the Three Marquises of the Water Margin. It had never crossed his mind that his big boss would act so humbly in front of this young man. He was going to hell for provoking such a person.
Lu Chen nodded, then looked at Zhang Sanyuan whose face had turned pale. Then, he said calmly, "He said he wanted to break my arm and make me go to jail. This made me very uncomfortable. You should know what you should do next."
Upon saying that, Lu Chen took the cup and walked out of the antique shop.
He did not want to stay any longer and waste time. He believed that the Three Marquises of the Water Margin was not stupid and would know what to do.
When the trio saw Lu Chen leaving
straight away, their expression changed. Even though Lu Chen did not show his anger, they could feel the fury in his heart.
This was the real Young Master. Their patron, Lu Zhong, was just Lu Chen's steward. If the Young Master felt upset, of course they undoubtedly had to avenge him.
"You actually threatened to break Young Master Lu's hand?" After Lu Chen left, Song Hai suddenly looked at Zhang Sanyuan with a somber face.
"S-Song Hai, who the hell is he?" Zhang Sanyuan was a little flustered, but he did not seem to realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Why would someone as insignificant as you know about Young Master Lu? You only need to know that nobody in Chongqing should provoke him," Lin Tong sneered.
"Lin Tong, don't waste your time explaining. Young Master Lu is already
angry. Don't let Young Master Lu know that this bastard is our underling, otherwise we will be done for," Shi Jin said.
"Shi Jin, you're right. Song Hai, do you know what Young Master Lu wants us to do?" Lin Tong nodded and looked at their boss, Song Hai.
"Idiot! This bastard actually wanted to break Young Master Lu's hand. Since Young Master Lu mentioned that, he must want us to break his hand then," Song Hai explained in a low voice.
"Hehe, you're so smart. You're the big boss after all." Lin Tong chuckled and turned to look at an underling behind him.
"Break one of this bastard's arms."
The gangsters made affirmative sounds, then walked toward Zhang Sanyuan while holding a steel pipe.
"Please..." Zhang Sanyuan's face turned pale. At this moment, he extremely regretted his actions.
But before he could finish his words, he let out a dull groan. The gangsters had hit his arm hard with the steel pipe.
"You should be grateful that I didn't chop off your arm straight away," Song Hai said indifferently as he looked at Zhang Sanyuan who was clutching his arm in pain as his facial muscles convulsed.
"Thank you for showing mercy to me. I've been loyal to you all these years, so please tell me who Young Master Lu really is." Zhang Sanyuan was obviously still a little dissatisfied. He was not reconciled with the fact that the Three Marquises of the Water Margin came and broke his arm as soon as Lu Chen commanded them.
Plus, the ancient cup was also taken away by Lu Chen, so he was even more depressed.
"Nothing good will come out of you knowing so much. Just watch out from now on." Song Hai shook his head and left the antique shop with everyone.
His words made Zhang Sanyuan feel even more resentful in his heart.
"Professor Yu, now that the kid has taken the cup away, it'll be difficult for us to get the cup back. Can you tell me what relic it is?" Zhang Sanyuan looked at Yu Zhengtao while he endured the pain. He had gotten into trouble today because of the cup. If he did not find out the cup's origins, he would feel even more frustrated.
Yu Zhengtao looked at Zhang Sanyuan's limp left arm and sighed. "That's a real chalice from the Song Dynasty. It's worth at least 5 million. If it is soaked in red wine for a few minutes, it will show its true appearance."
A real chalice!
Everyone gasped in their hearts.
A real chalice from the Song Dynasty was sold for 2,000. At the same time, everyone lamented at Zhang Sanyuan's bad luck.
Blood spurted out of Zhang Sanyuan's mouth as dejection overwhelmed him.
"I don't care who you are. Since you dared to snatch away my chalice, I will make you suffer!"
As Zhang Sanyuan vomited blood, malice flashed across his eyes.
Both Lin Yijia and Lin Yijun were at Wang Xue's house at this time. Lin Yijia looked at Lin Yijun and asked, "Sister, is brother-in-law not coming to celebrate dad's birthday this year?"
Lin Yijun was a little worried about Lu Chen. Before she could respond, her mother, Wang Xue, said coldly, "It'd be better if that useless trash didn't show up. You'll just be upset if you see him anyway."
"Mom, Lu Chen is coming. He just went to buy a gift." Lin Yijun smiled bitterly.
After Lu Chen's entrepreneurial failure two years ago, her mother had started to dislike Lu Chen. By now, Lin Yijun had gotten used to it.
"He's a pauper, what gifts can he afford? He'll only embarrass himself," Wang Xue said disdainfully.
"That's right. The only gift that brother- in-law can afford would cost at most a few 100, unlike Hu Hong, who bought dad an antique from the Tang Dynasty," Lin Yijia said proudly. After Hu Hong helped her mother to close the deal with Jun Yue Group the last time, she had officially started dating Hu Hong.
"Actually, my gift only cost around
300,000. It's not worth mentioning." Hu Hong smiled proudly at the side.
Lin Yijun originally wanted to say that Lu Chen also brought an antique worth 150,000, but after hearing Hu Hong's words, she was too embarrassed to say it.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and it was Lu Chen
