The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

209: Chapter 209 Mr. Tian must dieLiu Jing and Shi Xiaoya each gave a reason, and they sounded quite convincing.

Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and scolded softly, ”Xiao Yun, watch your tongue. Is this a place for you to joke around?”

With one sentence, he characterized Xu Jingyun’s words as a joke.

Han Jingyang glanced at Xu Jingyun.

He sighed inwardly.

Just as the saying goes, ”If I bloom, the butterflies will come.”

Since he’d gained his ”cheat,” his luck with women had improved countless times over. Not to mention Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya, there was Zhou Yuanyuan over there, and now Xu Jingyun had popped up.

He clearly hadn’t done anything, yet they just liked him.

Especially this Xu Jingyun; they’d barely met a few times, but because he’d saved her father twice, she wanted to offer herself to him in marriage.

However, Xu Jingyun’s figure and looks were beyond reproach, she had a good personality, decent martial arts skills, and a generous nature. She was truly a rare find for a virtuous wife.

It was a pity he already had Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya by his side.

Looking at the two sisters’ reactions just now, it was clear that there was no room for another woman to step in.

Sigh.

Han Jingyang sighed. ”Let’s get back to the previous topic. Everyone, share your thoughts.”

Xu Xin nodded repeatedly. ”Right, right, back to the topic. Brother, I’m all ears this time. Whatever you say, we’ll do.”

”Really?”

”Yeah, I’ve figured it out. My ability to make friends is just average. While I can make good friends like you and Old Wang, I also easily fall in with the wrong crowd. My judgment is poor, I’m not clear-headed, and I’m too stubborn—not the type for strategic thinking. So, I’ll just follow your lead, Brother. Whatever you say, we’ll do.”

Han Jingyang took a deep breath. ”Kill that Mr. Tian.”

”Huh?”

”Boss, you’re not joking?”

”Don’t be reckless, Boss.”

Xu Xin, Liu Jing, and Shi Xiaoya were shocked and immediately tried to talk him out of it.

Han Jingyang pressed his hands down to signal everyone to calm down. ”Don’t panic. I know what you’re afraid of.”

Liu Jing nodded. ”Boss, you said it yourself—none of us are a match for him. You also said you didn’t want to meddle in others’ business.”

Han Jingyang nodded, then shook his head. Amidst their confused looks, he said, ”I don’t care about the Three Liu Brothers’ mess because they brought that on themselves. But Mr. Tian is different; he’s a public menace. If he’s allowed to live, the tragedy that befell the Three Liu Brothers will happen to others.”

At this point, he looked directly at Xu Xin. ”Most importantly, we are now enemies with Mr. Tian. We have irreconcilable differences. The next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death—no quarter given.”

He paused before continuing, ”Not only do we face Mr. Tian’s threat, but our relatives and friends could also become targets for his revenge. We have some ability to protect ourselves, but they don’t. If they’re targeted by such a vicious person, they’ll be completely defenseless.”

Finally, his gaze slowly swept over their faces as he said each word emphatically: ”Therefore, Mr. Tian must die!”

Mr. Tian must die.

Both Xu Xin and his daughter, as well as Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya, had to admit this was true.

This Mr. Tian was not only powerful but also naturally cruel, acting without humanity or moral boundaries.

For both public and private reasons, this man had to be eliminated.

But with Mr. Tian being so strong, how could they even start?

Xu Xin sighed. ”The worst part is that we know nothing about Mr. Tian. We only know his surname is Tian. We have no idea where to even begin.”

This was indeed a problem.

Whether in war, business, or martial arts conflicts, the biggest taboo is not knowing your enemy.

Without knowing the enemy’s background, even the strongest person could fail.

Moreover, they weren’t even stronger than Mr. Tian.

How were they supposed to fight this battle?

Han Jingyang thought for a moment. ”How about this: I’ll find a way to gather information. Maybe there will be some pleasant surprises.”

The next day.

Quancheng Detention Center.

In the meeting room.

Han Jingyang, Shen Yuhai, and Liu Ming sat across from each other through the window.

Han Jingyang stared at the much-haggard Liu Ming and smiled. ”Liu Ming, this is our third time meeting, isn’t it?”

Liu Ming lowered his head and gave a soft ”Mm.”

”Then do you know why I’m here to see you?”

”I know.”

”Then tell me.”

”I can’t say.”

”Oh? Saying that won’t do you any favors.”

”This isn’t a formal interrogation, and there’s no record being taken. The court won’t accept it as evidence.”

”You’re quite knowledgeable.”

”Yeah.”

Han Jingyang smiled. ”Unfortunately, I only came here to ask about something that has nothing to do with the Three Liu Brothers.”

Liu Ming looked up. ”What?”

”Mr. Tian. I want to know everything about Mr. Tian.”

”That...”

”You can’t say?”

”I can’t.”

”Liu Ming, I’m giving you a chance. Don’t throw it away.”

Liu Ming sighed but shook his head, refusing to say more.

Han Jingyang said to Shen Yuhai, ”If he won’t talk, let’s switch to Huo Qian. He’s not related to Liu Ming, so he should talk.”

Shen Yuhai nodded.

Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, ”Are you planning to deal with Mr. Tian?”

”Yes, so I hope you can cooperate.”

”Who’s leading it?”

”Me.”

”You?” Liu Ming stared at Han Jingyang for a few seconds. ”I don’t know how strong you really are, but I know Mr. Tian is incredibly powerful. He could kill ordinary people like me and Huo Qian with a single finger. Smashing bricks and stones with his fists is as easy as eating or drinking for him. A single shout from him could deafen someone, and a slap could knock out a full-grown ox. He’s also a master of various Feng Shui and Yin-Yang arts. He’s extremely difficult to deal with.”

Han Jingyang nodded slightly. ”But I’m not weak either, and I won’t be alone. I’ll gather other experts to act with me.”

”But you still lack confidence, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here to talk so politely to a nobody like me.”

”Exactly. We know very little about Mr. Tian. Aside from the Three Liu Brothers, you and Huo Qian are the ones who know him best, so I wanted to talk to you.” Han Jingyang stared into Liu Ming’s eyes. ”You know what kind of person Mr. Tian is, and you know how dangerous someone like him is to society. I won’t lecture you. I’ll just ask one thing: have you ever considered that while Mr. Tian is victimizing the Three Liu Brothers, he might eventually seize you or your relatives to use as sacrifices?”

Liu Ming’s expression changed slightly. ”What do you mean?”

Han Jingyang said calmly, ”Liu Qing’s mother is dead.”

”Impossible. The old lady was in good health.”

”True, but Mr. Tian needed her to be, so she died. And I can tell you clearly that Mr. Tian’s Feng Shui formation requires another person. He captured a friend of mine before, whom I only rescued last night. Now I’m worried they’ll grab someone else to face the calamity—maybe the old man, maybe the brothers Liu Jian and Liu Xin, or maybe just anyone from the village.”

Liu Ming stood up abruptly. ”What do you mean?”
