A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Wei Ning's pupils shrank sharply. Although he was arrogant, he was not completely ignorant of value.

This jade bracelet... is definitely no ordinary one!

Ye Heng withdrew his hand and looked at the shop owner: "Thirty thousand, I'll pay now."

Before the shop owner could recover from the strange phenomenon, Wei Ning shouted urgently, "I'll offer 100,000! I'm taking this bracelet!"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed the bracelet.

Just as they were about to touch it, a strong hand grabbed them, and they were unable to move.

Turning my head, I saw Ye Heng's expressionless face.

"How dare you lay a hand on me! You're asking for death!" he roared. "Yuan Ge, attack! I'll take responsibility for any casualties!"

As soon as the order was given, Yuan Ge sneered and took a step forward, looking at Ye Heng with an arrogant gaze: "Boy, kneel down and kowtow three times now, and then respectfully hand over the bracelet, and you might be spared physical pain."

Wei Ning arrogantly retorted, "That's right, Yuan Ge is a bodyguard handpicked by my Tianhai Group from the military. Calling him a king of soldiers wouldn't be an exaggeration. You'd better kneel down and apologize!"

Ye Heng chuckled and said, "That's a good suggestion. If you kneel down and apologize later, I'll consider letting you off the hook."

"You won't learn your lesson until you're faced with the truth! I think you've lost your mind! Yuan Ge, do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ge's figure suddenly rushed forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, his right fist bringing a whooshing sound as it struck Ye Heng's face—he only used seven-tenths of his strength in this punch, but it was enough to break an ordinary person's nose.

However, the next moment, Yuan Ge's smile froze on his face.

His fist froze in mid-air, held firmly by a hand.

Ye Heng didn't even move a step.

"What—" He hadn't finished speaking.

Click!

The crisp sound of bones cracking echoed through the quiet shop.

Before Yuan Ge could even cry out in pain, he was flung away like a rag doll and crashed into the display case with a thud, shattering the glass on the floor.

He was curled up on the ground, his right hand bent at an odd angle, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Ye Heng.

The store was deathly silent.

The shop owner was dumbfounded.

The smugness on Wei Ning's face had not yet faded, but had turned deathly pale. His lips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Ye Heng's gaze returned to the jade bracelet, and he said to the shopkeeper:

"Can we trade now?"

The shop owner jumped in surprise and nodded frantically, "Y-yes! Right away! I'll wrap it up for you right away!"

Wei Ning stood there, his throat dry, wanting to say something, but unable to utter a single word.

How could this be? With Yuan Ge's strength, he was defeated so easily.

Could it be that he went to get his feet washed every day, and those women softened his bones?

Ye Heng's gaze fell on Wei Ning's face, and the invisible pressure emanating from that calm made the air in the entire shop freeze.

"You..." Wei Ning still wanted to hold on, but when his gaze swept over Yuan Ge, who was groaning in pain on the ground and whose right hand was crippled, all the words of bravado stuck in his throat.

He finally realized that this seemingly ordinary young man was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

With his legs giving way, Wei Ning collapsed to his knees with a thud, his face drained of color, and his previous arrogance vanished completely.

"It's...it's my fault for being blind and offending you." His voice trembled, and he lowered his head deeply, not daring to meet Ye Heng's gaze.

"This bracelet... is yours, of course it's yours."

"Get out!"

Ye Heng stopped looking at him and instead turned his gaze to the shop owner, who was still in a daze.

The shop owner hurriedly and carefully packed the lustrous jade bracelet into a brocade box, then respectfully presented it with both hands: "Sir, here is your bracelet."

Ye Heng took the brocade box, confirmed that everything was correct, and then completed the payment transaction decisively.

Wei Ning and Yuan Ge had already slunk away.

Ye Heng put away the brocade box and walked out of the shop with Gong Yichu.

He said, "It's getting late. Thank you for accompanying me to choose antiques today."

Gong Yichu's face showed a hint of worry as he lowered his voice and said, "Ye Heng... Wei Ning is a vengeful man with a complicated background. He suffered such a great loss today, I'm afraid he won't let it go easily. You must be very careful."

Upon hearing this, Ye Heng smiled, surprised that Gong Yichu would specifically remind him.

"It's okay. Even if he dares to cause me trouble, I'm not afraid of him."

His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an unspoken confidence and indifference, as if Wei Ning's possible retaliation was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Seeing his attitude, Gong Yichu stopped trying to persuade him. Grandpa said that Ye Heng was introduced by Su Changhong.

Compared to his close relationship with the Su family, he was indeed not afraid of Wei Ning.

She then brought up another matter, her tone becoming more formal: "Next week, a high-profile private auction will be held at 'Jizhen Pavilion' on this antique street, where some rare and valuable items will be on display."

She paused, her eyes conveying a sincere invitation, "Would you be interested in participating? Perhaps you'll find something that catches your eye."

Inviting Ye Heng to the auction was something she came up with on a whim.

There was no particular reason; she just seemed to want to see Ye Heng again as soon as possible.

Ye Heng nodded and said, "Of course I'm interested."

He also hoped to strike it rich at the auction, perhaps even finding some magical artifacts from ancient cultivators.

Seeing this, Gong Yichu took out her phone and smiled, "Then let's add each other's contact information. I'll send you the specific time of the auction later."

Ye Heng then took out his phone, and the two quickly exchanged contact information.

He then turned and left the shop, disappearing outside the door.

……

Inside a high-end villa.

Wei Ning lay on the sofa, holding a beautiful woman with red lipstick in his arms, his face gloomy.

Wei Ning, the young master of the prestigious Tianhai Group, actually knelt down to a mere kid!

I have never been so humiliated in my life.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously increased the pressure on his hands, leaving several red marks on the thigh of the beauty in his arms. She groaned in pain, but dared not struggle.

He stared at the darkening sky outside the window, the cold touch of the tiles from when he knelt still lingering on his knees, and every breath he took tugged at the fire in his chest.

At that moment, his subordinate pushed open the door and entered.

"Young Master Wei, we've found out. This Ye Heng works at the Su Group and seems to have a close relationship with Su Changhong."

"Su Changhong's men?" Wei Ning released the beautiful woman, his suit trousers taut as he stood up. "That semi-retired old fox has actually extended his reach into Tianhai's territory."

The subordinate lowered his voice: "Ye Heng suddenly started working in the strategic investment department of Su's a few days ago. He has no academic qualifications or certificates, which does not meet Su's recruitment standards. The informant said that it was Mr. Su who let him into the company."

"hehe."

Wei Ning suddenly smiled, took out an ice bucket from the liquor cabinet, and grabbed a handful of ice cubes in his palm.

The stinging sensation brought him back to his senses: "I remember, my Tianhai Group has a project that the Su family and the Chu family are competing for."

"Yes, the Chu family has a very comprehensive product system, while the new lotion and cream launched by the Su family are even more effective. Our group is wavering between these two groups and has not yet made a decision."

"Hahaha, this Ye Heng is such an idiot! The Su family is competing for our project, and he actually dares to offend me? Does he think the Su family is living too comfortably?"

Wei Ning laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"I'll talk to my dad about it later and get the Su family kicked out!"

He was now extremely smug, having already figured out how to make Ye Heng kneel before him for the 500 million yuan order, while cruelly driving him to despair.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked his subordinate.

"Has Lord Liu accepted my invitation?"

When Wei Ning asked that question, the subordinate looked embarrassed and hesitated to answer.

"Young master, Lord Liu has refused."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ning kicked his subordinate to the ground.

"What a useless piece of trash! He can't even handle this simple task!"

This Lord Liu is a figure even my father has to respect. He controls one-third of the underground world in Jinling and has a great influence throughout the province.

If he wants to stand out among his many brothers and take over the Haitian Group.

The most important step was to gain the approval of that Lord Liu.

However, Wei Ning had invited him nearly ten times, but the other party had not agreed even once.

This infuriated him, and he concluded that his subordinates had failed in their duties.
