Chapter 39 Better a Piece of Jade Than a Complete tile

If the ancient painting was taken by Qiao Liu, one million yuan would be lost. Gao Dakui showed a smile uglier than crying. "It's just a very common painting. It's not worth more than ten yuan. It's not worth Mr. Qiao's attention."

Cai Kun's eyes widened as he pointed at Chen Yu. "Bullshit! You clamored that painting was worth one million, it's in that man's hands!"

Chen Yu knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He took out the Lotus Pond Painting and said stubbornly, "This is mine. You're not qualified to see it!"

"You dare to act arrogant in front of Mr. Qiao? You're courting death! You're looking down on Mr. Qiao!" Cai Kun cursed.

Qiao Liu didn't seem to be angry. He sneered playfully and said, "You're brave, but you use your bravery in the wrong place. In front of me, even dogs have to be humble! How dare you hurt my bro? Hand over the painting as compensation, and you'll suffer less."

Old Master Song was going to celebrate his birthday. In order to consolidate their relationship, Qiao Liu had to give something in return. However, he was unwilling to spend a lot of money. Besides, Old Master Song didn't like cheap things.

It just so happened that a painting worth one million had solved this problem for him. Although he wasn't sure if the painting was real or not, he could get his hands on it first.

Chen Yu retorted, "You only have a few dogs with their tails between their legs. How can I compensate you when the dogs bite first?"

Qiao Liu's subordinates were all scolded by his words. The gangsters present were all angry. They rolled up their sleeves, waiting for Qiao Liu's order to cripple this reckless young man.

Gao Dakui pulled Chen Yu's sleeve silently, indicating that Chen Yu should watch his words because a wise man knows when to retreat.

"It has been a long time since a small character dared to talk to me like this. Boy, you have a sharp tongue. If you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, you will die horribly! Hand over the ancient painting, kneel down and beg for mercy, and I will spare your life!"

Qiao Liu didn't take Chen Yu seriously at all. He felt that bringing so many people here to deal with a reckless young man was demeaning.

Cai Kun took advantage of the situation and yelled, "You son of a bitch! Kneel down and apologize! Hand over the painting and I'll spare your lives!"

When he saw a few tens of people rubbing their hands and were about to take action, Gao Dakui was extremely anxious and persuaded in a low voice. "Bro, a great man knows when to retreat. Life is the most important, so let's admit defeat!"

"I never thought of admitting defeat since I dared to stay here!" Chen Yu wasn't a boorish fellow, and this scene had already been predicted, so he intended to capture the leader first.

His biggest reliance was still his wise eyes, which could see through ordinary people's actions. He was confident that he could control Qiao Liu before these gangsters took action.

However, the cause of this trouble was the ancient painting, which had attracted Cai Kun. So if this problem wasn't resolved, there might be more trouble in the future.

"To tell you the truth, this painting was from Ren Bonian, a painter at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It's really worth a million yuan..."

Chen Yu's words caused the scene to be in an uproar. A million yuan was sufficient for 10 years, and they wished for nothing more than to charge forward right away and seize it.

"But all of you bastards don't have the qualifications to touch it at all!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu didn't wait for the gangsters to fight before making a move that exceeded everyone's expectations.

With a 'kacha' sound, Chen Yu forcefully tore the 'Lotus Pond Painting' into two and threw it onto the ground.

Dozens of people present, including Gao Dakui and Qiao Liu, cried out that it was a pity.

This was a famous paintings. Why could be torn apart just like that? If the painting was damaged, its price would be greatly reduced. It would be worthless if it was broken into two pieces.

In order to prevent others from snatching the painting, he actually tore it up. What a ruthless boy!

Chen Yu continued coldly, "I'd rather break a piece of jade than live as a clay tile. I'll tear it apart and not give it to you!"

Qiao Liuxin's eyes twitched. Even for him, a million yuan was not a small amount, but this guy could be so decisive!

Chen Yu's actions were no different than slapping Qiao Liu's face in public, and it caused him to burst into rage. He waved his hand and instructed. "Attack together and kill him!"

More than twenty people rubbed their palms together and cursed. There were even some who looked around for suitable fellows.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Chen Yu picked up an iron rod on the tricycle and prepared to take the initiative to control Qiao Liu.

"Yu, you go first. I'll risk my life to drag them out!" Gao Dakui grabbed him right when Chen Yu was about to charge out.

Although Gao Dakui was afraid of Qiao Liu and others, he was close friends with Chen Yu and knew that today's matter could not be settled peacefully. So he made up his mind and risked his life.

Moreover, the source of the trouble was Gao Dakui, which had exposed the value of the ancient painting. He felt guilty and couldn't let Chen Yu get hurt.

Chen Yu cursed inwardly. The opportunity was fleeting because Gao Dakui had seized him, causing him to lose the best opportunity to capture Qiao Liu.

But he wouldn't blame Gao Dakui, and he was moved. "Bro, I naturally have a way to escape. You leave first!"

"I'm not leaving. II'll fight to the death!" Gao Dakui had completely thrown caution to the wind and grabbed two iron rods.

Just as a battle was about to break out, a clear voice rang out from the periphery of the crowd, "Stop!"

The voice was euphemistic and pleasant, like a lark, but it was mixed with strong anger.

Chen Yu heard the voice and looked up. A beautiful figure appeared in his sight. It was Song Yan.

She wore a white dress, had shoulder-length hair, exquisite and flawless facial features, and a graceful figure, causing her to seem like a celestial maiden.

The group of gangsters also turned their heads subconsciously and found that it was a great beauty who was as beautiful as a flower and better than a star. They all laughed wretchedly.

"Stop. Get out of my way!"

After all, Qiao Liu was working for the Song family. Knowing Song Yan, he stepped forward in a hurry and greeted her respectfully, "Miss Song, why are you here?"

Hearing that it was the young lady of the Song family, the surrounding gangsters hurriedly converged their gazes, smiled, nodded, and bowed. Even their boss Qiao Liu had to act according to the mood of the Song family, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Song Yan ignored Qiao Liu and went straight through the crowd to Chen Yu. When she saw that Chen Yu was unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She felt guilty for not being able to help Chen Yu fulfill the condition of protecting the orphanage. Thinking that today was the last day of the relocation, she specially came to see the situation of the orphanage and asked if she needed any help.

When she arrived, she found that the Happy House orphanage was empty, and Chen Yu did not answer her call. When she asked passers-by, she heard that Qiao Liu was leading people to fight.

Song Yan knew that Qiao Liu was her cousin's henchman and did not want him to ruin the Song family's reputation, so she rushed over to stop him. Unexpectedly, the person who was besieged was Chen Yu.

"Don't you feel ashamed to bully two people with so many of you?" Song Yan questioned angrily. Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise, a bleeding incident was likely to happen.
