The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

92: Chapter 92 Capture AliveJinding No. 1 Villa District.

Inside Villa No. 8.

Shi Xiaoya held a glass of red wine, gazing from a distance at Xue Xinming on the sofa: ”Mr. Xue, I truly have no way to help. I haven’t even seen Lord Kun myself for several days, let alone you.”

Xue Xinming looked very rustic, but his deep-set eyes scanned Shi Xiaoya back and forth like a wolf: ”Not a single way?”

”There is absolutely no opportunity. Both the municipal and provincial governments are taking this incident very seriously. There are people on duty at the hospital room door twenty-four hours a day. Apart from doctors and nurses, no one is allowed in or out. I myself am also on the official watch list; as long as I get close to He Dingkun, I will definitely be suspected.”

”You arrange for me to get in.”

”I don’t have that kind of influence,” Shi Xiaoya shook her head: ”Mr. Xue, before Lord Kun had his accident, others would give me some face, but that was Lord Kun’s face. Now that Lord Kun has had an accident, the eldest and his wife have been in a car accident, the second and his wife are locked up, and the third doesn’t care about anything. Dingshen Group is like a dragon without a head. Who would still care about a small assistant like me?”

”Does this mean... you’re useless?”

Shi Xiaoya paused for a moment, tightened her small blazer, nodded slightly, and frankly admitted: ”Yes.”

Xue Xinming laughed: ”That’s perfect. Follow me, and you’ll have the same good food and drink. I can even teach you my inheritance. In the future, the two of us can be together—isn’t that better than following that old man He Dingkun?”

”Mr. Xue, I’m not interested.”

”Is that so?”

”Mm.”

”You look down on me.”

”Yes, and so what?” Shi Xiaoya sneered: ”Although Lord Kun isn’t a good person either, he is someone who does big things, has courage, and charm; he can even be considered half an overlord. But what kind of thing are you? A rat in the gutter? Besides hiding in the dark and plotting against others, what skills do you have? Inheritance? You have the nerve to call that thing an inheritance? If I want to learn metaphysics, can’t I find a proper master? And be together with you? Pfft, are you even worthy?”

Xue Xinming jumped up with a ”whoosh,” pointing at Shi Xiaoya with a flushed face: ”A thing like a bitch dares to scold me?”

”You’re not even as good as a bitch!”

”You’re looking for death!”

”You old coffin-filler, tired of living, and you have the nerve to covet your great-grandmother’s body? Have you never seen a woman in your whole life? If you’re crazy about women, go back and find your own mother; don’t come here spreading your lechery!”

Xue Xinming was so angry that his hands trembled. After a moment, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the bat-headed cane beside him, and pointed it fiercely at Shi Xiaoya.

At the same time, he said through gritted teeth: ”You asked for this. In a moment, I’ll make you kneel and beg me!”

As his voice fell, his lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out. He was actually chanting a spell silently.

The cane didn’t move at all.

Yet Shi Xiaoya staggered back two steps as if she had been shot, her face deathly pale.

Seeing this, Xue Xinming revealed a triumphant smile: ”You’ve been hit by my Ten Thousand Insect Heart-Devouring Curse. You’ll never escape my control in this lifetime. Be good, kneel down and lick my thighs, and I’ll let you suffer a little less. Otherwise, hehehe...”

As he spoke, he walked toward Shi Xiaoya.

Shi Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, but then she revealed a sweet smile and started chuckling: ”Xue, I told you before that there is always someone better than you. You just didn’t believe it. Mm, I didn’t quite believe it either, but now I can be sure: you’ve met your nemesis.”

Xue Xinming stopped in his tracks, looking at Shi Xiaoya with suspicion: ”You weren’t hit?”

”No,” Shi Xiaoya pulled a red string from her neck, with a large copper coin dangling and swaying gently from it: ”This is your nemesis.”

”A protective amulet?”

”Haha, call it whatever you want. Anyway, with this treasure on me, you can’t do anything to me.”

”Impossible, even the strongest protective amulet has its limits,” Xue Xinming hurriedly retreated, while waving his cane to point at Shi Xiaoya again, chanting rapidly in a dialect that was obscure and difficult to understand.

Shi Xiaoya, however, was completely fearless. Feeling the intense reaction coming from the copper coin, she lunged at Xue Xinming.

Xue Xinming hurriedly retreated.

But Shi Xiaoya’s movements were faster. With two quick steps, she rushed in front of Xue Xinming and flew into a kick, striking him directly in the abdomen.

With that one kick, Xue Xinming was sent flying, overturning the coffee table before crashing heavily onto the Chinese-style rosewood sofa.

Shi Xiaoya stepped forward again, kicked the cane away, bent down, and delivered several slaps: ”Pa, pa, pa!”

Ten minutes later.

Xue Xinming was hog-tied and thrown in the corner, his head swollen like a pig’s, and his mouth was tightly wrapped with tape.

Shi Xiaoya fiddled with Xue Xinming’s cane and called Han Jingyang: ”Boss, come to Jinding No. 1. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

Han Jingyang received the call, looked at the number, confirmed it wasn’t a wrong number, and then asked: ”What’s the situation?”

”You’ll know when you get here. Bring your shop assistant.”

A surprise?

What kind of surprise could this woman prepare?

Did she find that bronze tripod that He Dingkun used to extend his life?

That would truly be a surprise.

He had thought it would take some time.

Such high efficiency.

She is truly an extraordinary woman who dared to infiltrate the enemy’s side all alone to seek revenge.

She has courage and insight, and her execution is super strong.

This subordinate was worth taking in.

Half an hour later.

Han Jingyang looked at the hog-tied little old man, stunned: ”What does this mean?”

Shi Xiaoya proudly raised her neck: ”Xue Xinming. I captured him alive. Boss, whatever you want to know, just ask him directly.”

”Xue Xinming?”

”The genuine article.”

”By yourself?”

”Yes. This old guy is a bit powerful, but that’s about it. With the protective amulet you gave me, the old guy’s attacks were like scratching an itch. I knocked him down with one flying kick, held him down, and gave him a beating. Hehe, the old guy’s magic might be powerful, but his physical skills are not even as good as an ordinary person’s. I could kill this old guy without even using my hands.”

Han Jingyang beckoned: ”Let me see that copper coin.”

Shi Xiaoya quickly pulled out the copper coin and handed it to Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang reached out to take it, but first felt the warmth coming from the copper coin.

Hiss—

It even smelled fragrant.

No, must hold it together, can’t make a fool of myself.

Han Jingyang steadied his mind and carefully observed the copper coin.

Seeing that the white aura inside the copper coin was almost depleted, he felt a bit of lingering fear: ”Be careful in the future. If you had taken one more hit, the one hog-tied would be you.”

Shi Xiaoya’s expression changed: ”I, I thought...”

”This copper coin is a very low-level dharma instrument, its defensive capability is average, and the limit of attacks it can withstand is very limited. You were lucky this time.”

”Thank you, Boss. I will definitely be more careful in the future.”

Han Jingyang returned the copper coin to Shi Xiaoya: ”Wear it for now; we’ll replace it when there’s something better.”

Then he looked at Xue Xinming for a moment: ”Did you search him?”

”Yes, the things found are all on the coffee table. I also took the opportunity to interrogate him and found out quite a few things.”

”Let me look at the things you searched out first.”

Han Jingyang turned to the coffee table and glanced at it; there were quite a few items.

Besides things like a mobile phone, a lighter, and condoms, the rest looked rather sinister: a bat-headed cane, a crystal skull pendant, a snake-shaped wooden plaque, a miniature mourning stick, a small tombstone, etc.

However, as long as it was something that could be appraised, it was a legitimate item.

Han Jingyang picked up the cane directly.

”Ding: Appraisable item discovered. Appraise?”

”Yes/No.”
