Chapter 59

"Little Master is from the capital city."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so after the young man responded, he suddenly became angry again and started cursing: "What kind of lousy place is this? I get robbed just by walking down the street. And you, this shop assistant, do you never brush your teeth? Why is your breath so foul?"

"Young man, don't be angry, it's my shop assistant who was wrong..."

Nie Tianbao followed the young man's words and continued: "Young man, you didn't get hurt. How about this, I'll give you a thousand yuan as compensation for your clothes, and we'll consider this matter settled. What do you think?"

Nie Tianbao had already figured out that this young man's behavior was that of a spoiled child, with a worse temper than his own son.

However, a family that could raise such a child was certainly not an ordinary one. Even if Nie Tianbao didn't want to befriend such people, he definitely didn't want to offend them, so he proposed a solution to settle the matter.

"Uncle Nie, so... he gets away with hitting me for free?" Hearing Nie Tianbao's words, Zhou Bing was almost in tears, the marks of two slaps still visible on his face.

"Shut up! If it weren't for your mother, I'd fire you right now!" Nie Tianbao glared, scaring Zhou Bing into silence.

"Filthy mouth, deserved to be hit!"

The young man waved his fist at Zhou Bing, but his eyes were on Nie Tianbao. He mumbled indistinctly: "Give me the money, I'm short on cash. The old man at home is so stingy."

Seeing the thousand yuan that Nie Tianbao handed over, the young man grabbed it without counting and stuffed it into his pocket, saying: "As long as nothing happened to Little Master's things, this matter is settled."

"What things?"

Nie Tianbao and Shopkeeper Zhao exchanged glances and looked at the yellow silk cloth in the young man's hand. From the moment he entered, the young man had been holding the square-shaped silk cloth tightly.

"Is it any of your business?" Although he had just taken the money, the young man didn't seem grateful. He rolled his eyes and carefully opened the yellow silk cloth.

"Fortunately, it didn't break, or Little Master would have smashed your shop!"

The young man didn't fully open the silk cloth, just lifted a corner to check, then quickly stuffed it back into his pocket, took off the torn clothes, and said: "You're lucky. This matter is over. Little Master is leaving. Damn, I still have to go to the police station to report the thief. I'll skin him alive when I catch him..."

The young man, being quite carefree, threw the torn clothes and walked out of the shop leisurely. "One, two, three, damn, why hasn't anyone stopped me?"

"Hey, young man, can you wait a moment?"

Just as the young man was about to step out, Nie Tianbao's voice came from inside the shop. However, Nie Tianbao didn't notice that the young man, who was facing away from him, let out a long sigh of relief.

No need to say more, everyone would have guessed that this young man was Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had made some minor changes to his appearance, making himself look a few years older and more rebellious. Even Nie Yuanlong, who had met Qin Feng before, would probably not recognize his former cellmate.

The two thieves earlier were none other than Li Tianyuan and Xie Xuan in disguise. The whole elaborate setup was to reveal the pair of earrings!

From the first day he entered the antique street, Qin Feng had been planning a scheme. As he gradually learned more about the antique market in Shishi, the plan became clearer in his mind.

The casual chat with Old Master Ge on the last day made Qin Feng's plan more complete.

Qin Feng subtly extracted information about the current state of the jade market in Shishi from Old Master Ge, even learning that Nie Tianbao was short on goods and had gone to Myanmar.

Qin Feng hadn't expected to run into Nie Tianbao today, but he didn't expect that the talkative shop assistant would do him a big favor by directly bringing the main person out.

"What do you want?"

Qin Feng stopped and turned around, his face showing a defiant look. "This piece of clothing cost me almost two thousand yuan. What, do you think a thousand yuan is too much?"

Qin Feng positioned himself today as a spoiled young man from the capital city. His performance was undoubtedly successful, making Nie Dabao's face full of embarrassment.

"Young man, it's not too much, it's too little, too little."

Nie Tianbao coughed and took another thousand yuan from his wallet, smiling: "Since you say two thousand, it's two thousand."

"Would you give me ten thousand if I said so?"

Qin Feng retorted at Nie Tianbao, making the latter's smile freeze. What kind of kid is this? How can he be so unreasonable and impolite? If it were his son, he would definitely beat him up.

"Hey, young man, don't be in such a hurry to leave..."

Seeing the young man take the money and try to leave, Nie Tianbao quickly pulled him back, forcing a smile: "Young man, meeting is a form of destiny. Why not stay for a cup of tea before you go?"

However, Nie Tianbao's politeness only earned him a roll of the eyes from Qin Feng. Impatiently waving his hand, Qin Feng said: "Tea? Uncle, your wallet was stolen, and you still have the mood to drink tea?"

"Cough, young man, reporting to the police might not be effective!" Nie Tianbao patted his chest and said: "If you trust me, Old Nie, I'll find someone to ask around and get your wallet back intact!"

Nie Tianbao knew that the pickpockets on the antique street were under the control of a gangster from the east side of the city. With his influence, even that gangster would give him some face. This wasn't just empty talk.

"What? The thieves listen to you? Are you some kind of king of thieves?"

Hearing Nie Dabao's words, Qin Feng's eyes widened, but he was inwardly laughing. They would probably be on the train before you even start asking around.

"What king of thieves? Just a matter of people giving me face in the underworld." Nie Tianbao's face was full of bitter smiles. Talking to this young man was a torture. In comparison, his own son was a well-behaved baby.

"Alright, what do you want to say quickly? I have other things to do."

"Young man, may I ask your name?" Nie Tianbao held his temper and tried to build a rapport with Qin Feng.

"Surname Ma. Hey, are you done yet? I really need to go."

Qin Feng stood up, cursing: "Damn, that taxi driver lied to me, saying there's a pawn shop here. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it."

"Pawn shop?" Nie Tianbao and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Qin Feng's pocket simultaneously, their eyes lighting up.

"It's none of your business. I really need to go." Qin Feng subconsciously protected his pocket with his right hand and turned to leave.

"Young man, don't be in such a hurry."

Nie Tianbao grabbed Qin Feng, this time getting straight to the point: "Young man, what was in that cloth you just opened? Was it a piece of jade?"

Although Qin Feng's action of opening the yellow silk cloth was quick and secretive, the deep green color didn't escape the eyes of Nie Tianbao and Shopkeeper Zhao.
