Seeing Mr. Situ's attitude, Wei Ying furrowed his brows even deeper.

This matter won't be easy to handle today!

No matter what, respect must be given to this old man in front of me.

At least we can't fall out with him.

Otherwise, the matter today will surely be investigated from above, and then I won't be able to explain myself.

"Alright, you all should talk about what happened! The Jade Exhibition is hosted by Hongmen, and certainly no one is allowed to break the rules on Hongmen's turf."

Wei Ying quickly weighed this in his heart, then turned his head to coldly address Yang Yan.

"I've got nothing to say."

Yang Yan sneered coldly:

"This stone was rightfully obtained through my bidding, and there are witnesses to this."

"As for why this guy claims I forcibly bought it, I'm not sure."

"In fact, there were many witnesses then, you can just investigate casually, and you'll find out."

The jade merchant at the side also knew that today's matter couldn't be easily resolved, and hurriedly argued:

"I originally didn't want to sell this stone. But you insisted on buying it, and no matter how much I disagreed, you still took the stone away in the end."

Now he's caught in a bind with no way out, so he can only grit his teeth and stubbornly hold on.

"Nonsense!"

Hearing the jade merchant's upside-down words, Mr. Situ exploded on the spot.

He sternly questioned:

"At that time, the highest bid for your stone was only a little over two million, and this kid jumped it to five million directly."

"Later, someone came to bid against this kid and raised it to six million, but who would have thought this young man would directly raise it to five million US Dollars."

"Finally, he successfully bought the stone. I, the old man, was there from start to finish!"

"Uh..."

The jade merchant subconsciously glanced at Wei Ying, obviously hoping for some aid.

But unfortunately, at this moment, how could Wei Ying possibly help him speak?

Seeing this merchant being rebutted speechless by the old man, he immediately said in a low tone:

"Wait here for a moment, I have some affairs to attend to outside, and I'll be right back."

Leaving those words, he turned and walked off.

A minute later, he appeared in another room, and said to Wang Hao, who was there daydreaming:

"What's going on here? How did that old fox Situ Wen get involved?"

"Situ Wen? What! That old man is Situ Wen?"

Upon hearing Wei Ying's words, Wang Hao stood up in shock.

After all, Situ Wen's reputation in Chinatown is immense.

He was a revered elder during the toughest times of these overseas Chinese.

It's said he's of the same lineage as Mr. Situ Meitang, a top boss of the San Francisco Hongmen.

It's precisely because of such veteran figures that these overseas Chinese could establish themselves in foreign lands and find a means to live.

It's no exaggeration that many of the big bosses in Hongmen are close friends with him as well.

Moreover, Situ Wen is also the former president of the Chinese Jade Association in the United States.

His prestige in the entire Chinese world far surpasses those Hongmen bosses, wielding considerable influence.

This can be seen from Wei Ying's attitude towards Situ Wen.

In short, this old man's status is very unusual.

Now, with such an extraordinary boss-level figure suddenly involved in this affair, it leaves Wei Ying and Wang Hao in a bind.

If mishandled, it's not just about whether they can get the Emperor's Blood Jade.

The question becomes whether both of them can get away safely.

If Situ Wen escalates this matter to the top, perhaps even my position as Hall Master could be revoked.

As for Wang Hao...

Haha!

He should try staying alive first!

In Hongmen, what they detest most is using power for personal gain.

The penalty for that is three blades and six holes."

"Uncle Wei, what should we do then? If people up top find out about this, we're in big trouble."

Knowing that Situ Wen had involved himself, Wang Hao was also thrown into a panic.

Right now he no longer cares about winning hearts, he just wants to solve this predicament.

"What else can we do? If those upstairs find out, whether I can keep my Hall Master's position is uncertain. But your life would definitely be forfeit."

Wei Ying said with a somber face.

"Uncle Wei, you have to think of something!"

Hearing Wei Ying's words, Wang Hao's complexion changed suddenly. He immediately pleaded with a mournful face.

"Hmph! At this point, there's no turning back."

Upon saying this, the aura around Wei Ying shifted, charged with murderous intent.

"But Uncle Wei, if we act here, we'll have no way to justify ourselves."

Hearing Wei Ying's implied intent to eliminate Situ Wen, Wang Hao was also frightened by his ruthlessness.

You have to understand, that is Situ Wen!

A paramount figure like a monument among the Chinese in the United States.

"Nonsense! Do you take me for a fool? Acting here?"

Wei Ying cut his eyes sharply, cursing impatiently:

"Listen up, I'm warning you one thing; absolutely no one can know about this."

"I'll repeat, not even your dad! Or else, I might lose the Hall Master position, but at least I can keep my life."

"As for you... haha! I don't need to spell it out; you should know your end. Even three blades and six holes would be merciful!"

When Wei Ying said this, he stared fixedly at Wang Hao, emanating a chilling aura of intimidation.

"Rest assured, Uncle Wei, I won't tell anyone about this, not even my father."

Wang Hao stated solemnly.

This matter is truly life-threatening; he wouldn't dare take it lightly.

Most importantly, he already sensed intense killing intent from Wei Ying.

He had every reason to believe that if he slipped up, the man he called uncle would indeed finish him off.

"Good! That's the best outcome. I'll make arrangements now; hopefully, we'll let that old geezer Situ Wen die in an accident. By that time, even those big shots in Hongmen won't have anything to say."

Wei Ying said venomously.

Hearing Wei Ying's words, Wang Hao couldn't help but shudder.

He had never seen such a ruthless side of Wei Ying.

Wei Ying, who always appeared before him with a gentle and refined demeanor.

Even though Wang Hao knew a bit about his methods, he'd never felt what he was feeling now.

"Young brother, rest assured, this old man will stand up for you."

"These kids have really gone too far! Even daring to play such tricks in front of this old man, simply outrageous!"

Situ Wen said sternly.

"Thank you, Mr. Situ."

Yang Yan said with a smile.
