The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

39: Chapter 39 Ruthless CharacterHan Jingyang and Shen Yuhai chatted for a long time, especially about Sun Xiaoliang’s affair.

Shen Yuhai was simply reciprocating the favor, thanking Han Jingyang for giving him a heads-up in advance, which prevented Shen Lele from being dragged into this matter.

Of course, he only spoke about what could be said. As for what couldn’t be said, Shen Yuhai didn’t reveal a single word.

Actually, there wasn’t really anything that couldn’t be said. Han Jingyang was the party involved and would sooner or later know the relevant case details. The case itself wasn’t complicated; it was just that Sun Xiaoliang, having been scammed until he was penniless, developed murderous intent and wanted to retaliate against Han Jingyang. It just so happened that he had encountered such people before, so he took out his remaining savings to find a killer.

However, the crime didn’t actually happen. The target, Han Jingyang, was safe and sound. Instead, the repair of the overpass required a lot of money, but for someone with Sun Xiaoliang’s net worth, that wasn’t an issue.

What? Sun Xiaoliang’s family was ruined?

When Sun Xiaoliang was arrested, he wasn’t divorced yet. The villa, cars, houses, shops, and remaining savings were still under Sun Xiaoliang’s name. Before the compensation was paid, that scammer wife of his, Zhao Xiaoying, couldn’t take a single cent.

Furthermore, Zhao Xiaoying had revealed her true colors, so how could she dare to stay? She had run away long ago.

The police had just issued online and offline arrest warrants.

In summary, Sun Xiaoliang would definitely spend a few years in the slammer, Zhao Xiaoying had become a fugitive, and although Han Jingyang had successfully taken his revenge, he had also been targeted by the police.

Being targeted by the police wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn’t good either; one could only say that this was the price to pay for exposing his abilities.

He had been mentally prepared for this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made no effort to conceal anything.

It was just a bit too early. He had only just gained a tiny bit of fame.

Finally, Shen Yuhai said in a joking tone: ”Sun Xiaoliang is unlucky for provoking you. Of all people to provoke, he just had to pick you. You really are a ruthless character; you don’t act unless necessary, but once you do, you cast him completely into the abyss.”

Han Jingyang understood what Shen Yuhai meant; he was telling him not to be so aggressive, that this kind of thing was too ruthless and should be done sparingly.

However, he wasn’t going to listen. But he didn’t explain too much, just smiled and said: ”I gave him a chance.”

Then he directly changed the subject: ”How do you plan to use the batch of goods you got from me?”

”I plan to set them up at home.”

”When is it convenient for me to go and set them up?”

”Now?”

”Sure.”

Han Jingyang called Liu Jing back, and then he and the father-daughter duo, Shen Yuhai and Shen Lele, returned to Shen Yuhai’s home.

It was a very ordinary apartment building, over 140 square meters. Of course, the location was excellent; ordinary people couldn’t afford to live there.

Han Jingyang spent over ten minutes setting up all the props Shen Yuhai had bought; there was no difficulty at all.

Along the way, he also checked the Feng Shui of the room for Shen Yuhai and made some minor adjustments to some of the furniture and decorations.

After everything was finished, Shen Yuhai closed his eyes, appearing to sense the changes. A moment later, he nodded with satisfaction: ”It really is a bit different.”

Han Jingyang smiled: ”This is how I make my living.”

”You are a person with real ability, a true master of residential environmental studies. In the future, even if you do nothing else and only do residential environment research, you can make a fortune.”

”Hey, that’s a path, and it’s open and aboveboard, leaving no handle for others to hold against me.”

”Haha, if the craftsmanship is up to par, it doesn’t matter how you set up your signboard. Those who know, know. After all, you are taking the high-end route and aiming for a word-of-mouth model.”

”It’s a viable approach, but some things really can’t be covered up by residential environment studies, for example, your old lady.”

”As long as the target customer group is clear about it themselves, that’s enough.”

Han Jingyang thought about it, and what Shen Yuhai said actually made a lot of sense. Regardless of what banner he used to do things, as long as his customers knew what he could accomplish, that was enough.

Even if he said he was just a dealer of antiques, it wouldn’t stop people like Shen Yuhai, Sun Fuchang, and Zhou Yucheng from continuing to spend high prices to purchase those worthless antiques from him.

Packaging himself as a master of residential environmental studies was the same principle. Moreover, setting up a signboard like that was indeed less glaring.

Even the metaphysics masters in Hong Kong and Taiwan had given themselves titles like research scholars or experts. There was no change in essence, but it matched the current social environment much better.

So, he gave Mr. Shen a thumbs up: ”As expected of Mr. Shen, brilliant.”

”Just a little insignificant life experience, it’s nothing. If you want to talk about brilliance, it has to be experts like you; that is true brilliance,” Shen Yuhai said while refilling Han Jingyang’s tea, smiling: ”Come to think of it, when I was a community police officer, I arrested quite a few charlatans—big ones, small ones, men, women, local ones, traveling ones, all sorts. I even had contact with the direct disciples of famous orthodox sects. I’ve seen all kinds, but I’ve never seen anyone like you.”

”Oh?”

”Those people almost entirely relied on glib talk, at most adding some street tricks or unorthodox medical arts. Some were just performing magic tricks. Even those from famous orthodox sects just had a few more seemingly high-end rituals and theories. Calling them scammers wouldn’t be an exaggeration. But you are the exact opposite: no high-end packaging, your theories are simple, clear, and direct, but your skills are truly solid.”

”You flatter me.”

”I’m telling the truth. Before this, I didn’t believe in these things at all because I had seen too many. But now...”

Shen Yuhai didn’t finish his sentence. Due to his position, some things couldn’t be said, and some things couldn’t be done. But the meaning was very clear.

Dinner was eaten at Shen Yuhai’s home. Shen Yuhai’s wife cooked personally, and Shen Lele was also dragged to the dining table to apologize to Han Jingyang once again.

After they were full and satisfied, Shen Yuhai hesitated for a moment and said: ”Brother, is your shop still hiring?”

Han Jingyang turned his head to look at Shen Lele, who was bowing her head and shoveling rice into her mouth: ”Yes, a handyman, just for cleaning, serving tea, and pouring water.”

”What do you think about Lele...”

”If she has no objections, she can go and try it out. Experiencing life is also good.”

Shen Yuhai stared at his daughter and asked: ”Do you have any objections?”

Shen Lele shook her head.

Shen Yuhai tilted his chin at Han Jingyang: ”She has no objections. Brother, feel free to discipline her when the time comes. This girl just needs a good lesson. Don’t be polite; if she needs to be hit, hit her; if she needs to be scolded, scold her. Please, absolutely do not give me any face.”

”Certainly, certainly.”

”Let her go over tomorrow, what do you think?”

”Fine.”

With a few words, the matter was settled, and Han Jingyang stood up to take his leave.

Shen Yuhai walked him all the way to the parking lot. Only after he got into the car did Shen Yuhai lean over to the car window and whisper: ”Do not get too deeply involved in Zhou Yucheng’s matter. It involves Dingshen Group, and it is very dangerous.”

Han Jingyang nodded slightly and slowly started the car to leave.

But his heart became alert.

Dingshen Group could be said to be known by everyone in Quancheng. The group’s president, He Dingkun, started his business forty years ago by trading small electronic products. His style of doing things was bold and aggressive; as long as it could make money, he would stop at nothing. Now, Dingshen Group’s total assets exceeded three billion, and its influence in Quancheng was very strong.

Furthermore, rumors said that He Dingkun’s rise to power was not clean, and he had many lives on his hands. Dingshen Group kept a group of thugs who could fight and were daring, and its relationship with certain organizations was also quite deep.

Although Dingshen Group had been much more low-key in recent years, and He Dingkun had even retreated to the second line and handed the group over to his second son, He Zhifei.

Yet no one dared to underestimate this long-established private enterprise. He didn’t want to be targeted by such a behemoth.
