Chen Yufei was running a rat warehouse in Ji Qingtang, and in a bid to secure his position, he sought to distance himself from Zhou Liangyun. This move clearly illustrated his prioritization of personal interests.


    Ultimately, what he desperately wanted to retain was a job that paid him hundreds of thousands annually, allowing him the chance to make significant money on the side.


    However, he was blindsided by the realization that in his quest to maintain this job, he had overlooked a staggering opportunity worth 20 million yuan. This shocking revtion hit him like a thunderbolt, leaving him feeling more devastated than if he had faced death itself.


    To make matters worse, he discovered that the missed 20 million had ended up benefiting Zhou Liangyun, which felt like a crushing blow.


    In a fit of frustration, he abruptly ended the call with the vendor and dialed Zhang Ermao (Cade) without hesitation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Knowing that Zhang Ermao (Cade) had set his WeChat to Do Not Disturb, Chen opted for a direct phone call.


    At that moment, Zhang Ermao (Cade) was sound asleep when his phone buzzed, jolting him awake.


    He groggily answered, irritation evident in his voice: “Didn’t I tell you to message me on WeChat if something came up? I’ll look at it when I wake up. Why are you calling me again?”


    Chen Yufei, frantic and restless, eximed, “Brother Ermao! Something huge just happened!”


    “What is it?” Zhang Ermao (Cade) asked dismissively. “Did Zhou Liangyun get caught selling fakes? Or did he report himself to the police for being scammed?”


    At this point, Chen Yufei was thoroughly irritated by Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s overconfident demeanor. The admiration he once felt had evaporated, reced by sheer frustration. He nearly shouted, “Fake! Fake! Fake! Damn it! The so-called ‘fake’ you had for him sold for a whopping 20 million! How could you sell me the same thing?! I waspletely fooled by you, recorded a video, and shared it. If people find out the piece I discarded was worth 20 million, I’ll be humiliated! I won’t be able to show my face in the antique market again. Zhang Ermao (Cade), you’re ruining me!”<fncfb1> Follow current nov?ls on </fncfb1>


    Zhang Ermao (Cade), taken aback by Chen Yufei’s outburst, was momentarily silent. Although he had heard simrints before, no one had dared to speak to him like that since he began working with Hong Wu.


    Just as he was about to retaliate, he recalled Chen Yufei’s shocking im and gasped, “What did you just say? That thing sold for 20 million by Zhou Liangyun?!”


    “Yes!” Chen Yufei gritted his teeth and replied. “The random guy at the stall in Nantou witnessed the whole transaction! A collector from Yanjing handed Zhou Liangyun 20 million right then and there!”


    Fueled by rage, Chen Yufei continued, “Oh, and by the way! That imitation of the Ming Dynasty bronze Buddha you were so proud of? It’s really from the Northern Song Dynasty! You do know about gilt bronze from the Northern Song Dynasty, right? What were you thinking? You can’t even recognize it without the giltyer! I thought I was the biggest fraud in the antique market, but you’re even worse! If this news gets out, I’m finished!”


    “Damn…” Zhang Ermao (Cade) was taken aback. Infuriated by Chen Yufei’s incessant swearing, he felt a cold sweat break out.


    However, Zhang Ermao (Cade) was more astute than Chen Yufei. After piecing together the details, he suddenly recognized the real danger looming over him.


    That danger was Jacob!


    Whether the item was worth 20,000 or not was bing increasingly irrelevant to him.
