785 You“re in Bigger Trouble

“The thing is, I read from a book that antiques which are taken out from ancient graves are always covered in Yin. Once a human being touches it, he or she can be affected by the Yin. Sometimes, the person might have nightmares and can’t sleep well. When it gets worse, the person’s life could be in danger. Have you heard of it before?” Gu Ning asked.

Hearing that, the middle-aged man and the old man put on a serious face. “I’ve heard of it before, but I haven’t seen it in person yet, so I don’t know whether it’s real or not.”

“Do you feel cold when you touch this bronze tripod?” Gu Ning asked again, but it was with certainty.

Hearing that, they stiffened a little, and showed frightened expressions. They did feel cold when they touched this bronze tripod, but how could she know?

Is it true?

Thinking of what Gu Ning had just told them, they trembled in fear.

The middle-aged man put the bronze tripod on the table and moved his hands away without hesitation. He didn’t want to believe it, but he was really scared.

“Do you mean that this bronze tripod could be covered in Yin?” the old man asked.

“Yes,” Gu Ning said seriously.

“What?” Both of them were shocked.

“How do you know?” the middle-aged man asked.

“I have a bronze with me right now, and you can compare it with this one,” Gu Ning said, and went to fetch her suitcase.

She put her suitcase on the table and opened it. The middle-aged man and the old man weren’t surprised to see so many antiques, because they didn’t know or think that they were all real.

Gu Ning took out a bronze and handed it to the old man. “Please feel it and have a look.”

The old man took it, but didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, then he began to appraise it.

After a long while, the result was out; the bronze was real, which amazed the old man.

“Please put this one down, and feel the bronze you just bought,” Gu Ning said.

The old man listened to her, and touched the bronze tripod he had just bought.

The second his hand touched the bronze tripod, he felt uncomfortable coldness, and drew his hand back in an instant.

“Well…” The old man was struck dumb for a second. He couldn’t believe that antiques covered in Yin were real.

“H-how did you get to know about it?” the old man asked Gu Ning.

“Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t tell you many details.” Gu Ning, of course, wouldn’t tell them the reason. “I stopped you because I knew that this bronze tripod will harm you.”

Since Gu Ning wasn’t willing to tell them, they wouldn’t insist.

“What should we do now? Should we dump it?” the middle-aged man asked.

“You don’t need to do that. If you trust me, you can leave it with me, and I can remove the Yin from this bronze tripod. You can come and get it back tomorrow. If you don’t trust me, you can pick one from the real antiques in my suitcase as an exchange,” Gu Ning said.

“I trust you,” the old man said with alacrity.

The old man had felt it himself, so he knew that this bronze tripod wasn’t right. If Gu Ning was really a liar, he wouldn’t mind losing thirty thousand yuan. Of course, he would also lose several million yuan as well. However, compared with money, he cared more about his life.

The middle-aged man had doubts, but he didn’t say anything since his master agreed. This bronze was his master’s, not his.

“Since you trust me, I should set your mind at rest. Why don’t you take this bronze with you? These two bronzes have the same value.” Gu Ning pointed at the bronze on the table which the old man had just appraised.

“No need. I trust you.” The old man rejected it.

The old man understood that Gu Ning was being kind to him. She had saved his life, and he owed her a big favor, so he was even willing to send her this bronze tripod as a gift.

Gu Ning smiled, and didn’t say another word.

“Oh, may I know your name?” the old man asked.

“My name’s Gu Ning,” Gu Ning said.

“I think I can call you Girl Gu. My surname is Xiao. If you don’t mind, you can call me Grandpa Xiao,” Master Xiao said with a gentle smile.

“Sure, Grandpa Xiao,” Gu Ning called him.

“This is my apprentice. His name is Chang, but you can call him Uncle Chang,” Master Xiao said.

“Nice to meet you, Uncle Chang,” Gu Ning called the middle-aged man.

At this moment, they heard many noises outside. Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and saw several hoodlums intruding in.

She guessed that it might have something to do with Du Laifeng’s step-mother. In case they damaged the goods, Gu Ning excused herself, and walked out of the office.

“Du Laifeng, how dare you purchase goods and run this store again?” the leader of those hoodlums, Niu Ge, said with arrogance.

“What do you want to do?” Du Laifeng asked, but he wasn’t afraid this time because Gu Ning was here today.

“What do we want to do? Damage your store!” Niu Ge said. “Do it now!” He gave an order to his sidekicks.

The other four hoodlums ran to damage the goods at once.

“Stop it right now!” A cold female voice sounded at this time.

Hearing it, they all stopped and looked at Gu Ning. When their sights fell on Gu Ning’s body, they were stunned and leered at her.

“Du Laifeng, I didn’t expect you to hide such a beauty in your store.” Niu Ge walked to Gu Ning. “Hey, beauty, why don’t you be our girl? Du Laifeng is in big trouble now.”

“I think that you’re in bigger trouble,” Gu Ning said in a cold tone. Without hesitation, she caught Niu Ge’s arm and threw him over her shoulder to the ground. She also dislocated his arm the second before he fell. Niu Ge screamed in pain and his face turned pale.

It happened too fast, and everyone was struck dumb by the scene.
