This is many times harder than breaking or snapping it.
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Li Yang smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Stop! If you dare touch our Boss Liu, you'll never leave Pingzhou alive!" The four men behind panicked. Damn it, their boss had fallen into the enemy's hands just like that. They were now too afraid to act, and they couldn't even use their strength.
I'm so anxious.
"Is that so? I can't get out? Then you can all lie down today!" Li Yang sneered, narrowing his eyes.
With a slight increase in pressure, Liu He gasped for breath, and sweat poured down his face; this time, he was almost entirely covered in sweat.
Damn, this kid is incredibly strong, is he even human?
"Brother, spread the word on that road." Liu He's eyes darted around as he began to think of a way out. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, does he?
"You don't know who I am?" Li Yang had long suspected that these things were orchestrated by those bastards from Brilliant Years to target him and Song Tian'er.
They're not afraid of messing with themselves, nor can they outmaneuver themselves. But when it comes to messing with people they care about, they do it with ease, forcing themselves into a corner and ultimately compromising.
That's their goal.
"Of course I don't know who you are. Damn it, if I knew who you were, would this have happened?" Liu He was still sweating profusely because Li Yang did not reduce his strength because of his words.
This shocked Liu He even more, completely killing any chance of turning the tide. Normally, people hold their breath to exert great effort.
While he was talking, he could so easily pinch his own arm until it almost broke. Damn, is he even human?
"I don't want to make things difficult for you. Just tell me if you're allowed in today or not!" Li Yang didn't want to completely offend Liu He. After all, this wasn't his stronghold. It was easy to deal with Liu He, but if he completely angered these people, their counterattack would be extremely fierce, and who knew what else might happen.
The saying "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake" illustrates this point.
"Go in. Of course I'll go in. But I'll leave my name behind, brother. I'd really like to get to know someone like you!" Liu He has one good point: he knows when to advance and when to retreat. He's tough when he needs to be tough, and soft when he needs to be soft. He also tries to win over people he can't control. He'll do anything that benefits him.
Of course, this guy's favorite thing to do is gamble!
Li Yang smiled faintly, released his hand, and said with a smirk, "Thank you for your kind words, but I am just a nobody. I don't deserve Boss Liu's favor!"
Li Yang didn't want to reveal his identity. Or perhaps Liu He was just putting on an act; wouldn't Wu Yong and his gang of scoundrels tell him his information? But it was hard to say.
Liu He kept swinging his wrist, leaving clear five-finger marks on it, as clear as steel stamps.
The purple marks couldn't be rubbed off, and he didn't dare to rub them because they burned with pain; even the slightest touch made him tremble.
"Alright, let them in. You guys keep blocking the entrance!" Liu He's eyes flashed as he impatiently waved at the thugs.
He then strode away from the scene and got into his car.
The four burly young men gave Li Yang a cold stare and nodded at him, signaling him to be careful, as they would be back for revenge. Then, they followed Liu He into the car, which sped off and disappeared from the scene.
"Why didn't you just strangle that bastard!" Song Tian'er gradually felt that things were a bit strange. The troubles she had encountered along the way were truly bizarre. If it wasn't someone deliberately causing this, then she was just too unlucky!
“Crushing that bastard is easy, but there are just too many Mafas! Besides, that idiot has a pistol! I bet their gang has more than one pistol! It's best not to provoke them too much!” Li Yang explained. Even if they have guns, unless he lets his guard down or is extremely tired, they basically can't hurt him. After all, he can sense if someone is staring at him with a sharp gaze.
This is the benefit of reaching the level of internal strength in martial arts.
Although he himself was not afraid, Xue Tao and Song Tian'er were just ordinary people. If any of them got hurt, even if he killed them, it wouldn't help, would it?
“Li Yang is right. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. We should try our best not to offend them! Let's go in and take a look!” Xue Tao nodded slightly, affirming Li Yang's approach, and took the lead into the area. The thugs automatically parted, and none of them dared to cause any more trouble.
Others who tried to sneak in were dragged out and brutally beaten, as a way of venting their anger.
As for the fat pig that had been beaten so badly, it became the most pitiful classmate, ignored by everyone. It lay on the ground like a dead pig, like pork on a chopping board!
Li Yang followed Xue Tao and the others into the venue.
The venue was deserted, with hardly any sellers in sight. The doorways were either empty or locked.
A desolate and calm atmosphere prevailed.
"What's going on? Something's not right!" Li Yang said, looking at the deserted trading area.
“Something’s not right. It’s always so lively here, the place is packed with people even before the trading officially starts. What’s going on? Is it because of all these people at the entrance?” Xue Tao’s secretary said, quite surprised.
Chapter 285: Get Out
"Don't be confused, this year's jade gambling convention won't be lively," a young man said calmly as he walked out of a doorway.
However, he looked somewhat depressed.
"What's going on?" the secretary asked.
"What happened? It's simple. Someone bought them all a long time ago. Almost all the rough stones have been bought by one company. Without any rough stones, who would stay here?" the young man said dejectedly.
Li Yang looked around and saw that it was indeed the case; only a few dozen houses had their doors open, and only a few dozen houses had open-air shops.
The trading venue, which originally occupied a huge area, was large enough to accommodate thousands of businesses operating at the same time, with each transaction involving thousands of tons of raw stones.
It seems that at most a hundred or so households are listlessly operating. If this is the case for the weak, how much money must the guy who bought it alone have?
Damn! He's hogging all the profits! He's breaking industry rules!
"Then what's the deal with these shops that are still open? Don't you have any jadeite rough stones?" Li Yang asked with a burning gaze.
Yes, so many raw materials have been sold; those that haven't been sold are obviously what people have abandoned.
That means these people's rough stones didn't contain any jade at all.
"Who said that! Those people are just blind." The young man said immediately, dissatisfied.
