The Hidden Dragon In-Law-Chapter 58 – Thanks to you!

"Of course! Just say it!"

Mr. Qi sneered and said, "I also want to see how you con artists usually deceive people."

James Ye shrugged and said, "I didn't really want to expose your scam, but since you insist, I can't refuse."

"Scam? Kid, are you saying we all got it wrong?"

Guo Ming, who had been calm and composed, suddenly sneered.

James glanced at him and said coldly, "You're the dumbest one here..."

"Kid, you're courting death!" Guo Ming was instantly furious.

James ignored him and continued, "The jade is real, I'll give you that. At least you scammers have some conscience."

He went on, "But this jade isn't some Blood Silk Jade from the Zhou Dynasty, nor was it nurtured by some enlightened monk. It's just a high-quality yellow jade from Hetian. It's worth something, but at most fifty thousand."

"Rubbish. Can't you see the jade is red?" Mr. Qi retorted angrily.

James continued, "The red color is due to manganese mineral erosion. You don't really think it's soaked in the blood of some monk's corpse, do you?"

"Then what about the warm feeling we sensed?" Qin Gang asked urgently, frowning.

James shook his head and said, "That's even simpler. It's caused by a hallucinogenic effect from the roots of a plant called Glara grass from Africa. Grind the roots into powder, dissolve it in water, and soak the jade in it for about six months. To dispel the effect, just burn the jade with fire."

"Kid! How dare you spout such nonsense!" The fat man slapped the table and stood up.

Edward Li's face darkened as he looked at the fat man and said, "Take the jade and burn it."

The fat man, sweating profusely, said, "What burning? This kid is clearly showing off and deceiving you. Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Qin Gang tapped his fingers on the table and said, "If the effect remains after burning, I'll buy it. But if it doesn't, you know the consequences... The Qin family may be in some trouble recently, but we're not to be trifled with!"

Patricia Song nodded and said, "If Mr. Ye is wrong, burning the jade won't matter. It won't get damaged. But if he's right, you owe us an explanation today!"

The fat man was instantly drenched in sweat.

None of these three families were ones he could afford to offend.

The scam was set up with Mr. Qi's inside help to swindle Patricia Song out of some money and then split the loot with Mr. Qi.

He never expected James Ye to show up and expose everything with a single sentence!

James Ye didn't know much about jade before.

The reason he could see through the jade's problem at a glance was entirely because of the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures."

For some reason, when he saw the jade, the answers appeared in his mind.

It seemed that appraising antique jade was one of the skills in the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures."

Seeing the fat man remain silent, James Ye sneered, "What? Feeling guilty? Afraid to speak?"

The fat man's face turned pale, but he still didn't say whether he was willing to burn the jade.

James Ye then said angrily, "Fatty, do you think staying silent will help? You should know, this is Jinling! The people you've deceived here are all wealthy and powerful. A mere finger snap from them could make you disappear without a trace! I advise you to be sensible and confess quickly, or no one can save you!"

Patricia Song knew James was applying psychological pressure, so she immediately cooperated and said with a stern face, "Our Song family has some standing in Jinling. If someone dares to deceive us, we must teach them a harsh lesson. If we go easy, our family's reputation will suffer!"

The fat man was scared out of his wits!

He knew how powerful the Song family was. If he really angered Patricia Song, he might die in Jinling!

In a panic, he desperately called out to Mr. Qi, "Mr. Qi, save me! This isn't just my problem!"

Mr. Qi's face changed drastically, and he roared, "You... How dare you deceive the Song family and implicate me? I'll kill you!"

With that, Mr. Qi pulled out a dagger from his pocket, his eyes flashing with cold light, and lunged at the fat man.

The fat man, eyes wide with rage, cursed, "Damn it, you turn on me faster than flipping a book! You were the one who said the Song family relies on your word for appraisals. As long as you said it was good, it would sell. You set me up!"

Patricia Song glanced coldly at the two of them, then said to James Ye, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry you had to see this. Thanks to you, let's leave now. Our family will handle these people."

James Ye nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's go."

With that, the two of them got up to leave.

Seeing Patricia Song about to leave, Mr. Qi panicked. He knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Miss Song, please spare me. I've been loyal to the Song family for so many years. Please forgive me this once..."

Before Patricia could speak, Edward Li stood up and sneered, "You old fool, you set up a scam to swindle me and your own master, and for billions at that. Do you think the Song family will spare you?"

Mr. Qi's face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground.

Edward Li continued, "Even if the Song family spares you, I, Edward Li, will not!"

Mr. Qi broke down in tears, completely devastated.

Patricia Song shook her head slightly and said to James Ye, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye. Our Song family made a mistake in employing people. You've seen a joke."

James Ye said calmly, "There are treacherous people everywhere. No need to apologize, Miss Song."

At this moment, Edward Li from Haicheng, along with Guo Ming and Qin Gang from the Qin family in Jinling, all came out.

Seeing James Ye, Edward Li immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying, "Master Ye, thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been deceived by this scoundrel!"

Guo Ming, feeling somewhat ashamed, said, "Master Ye, you truly are a young hero. I didn't see through their jade trick earlier. I'm ashamed!"

Qin Gang also cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ye, thanks to you today, otherwise the three of us would have fought over a fake, suffering heavy losses and becoming a laughingstock!"

James Ye smiled faintly and said, "No need to be so polite. I was invited by Miss Song to appraise the item, so it was my duty."

After some polite exchanges, James Ye and Patricia Song got into the car together.

At this moment, the courtyard behind them was silent.

But James Ye could see that just as they left, several black-clothed men in black suits quickly entered.

It seemed that Mr. Qi and the fat man were doomed!
