Chapter 120
Charles Wu hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as he turned to Fade Chen, and said toCaesar Du, "Caesar, my level is just a seasoned hobbyist, not a real master! Speaking of masters,Fade is good at both medicine and martial arts, he would definitely be familiar with the thing. Why don'tyou let Fade go with you?"
"Yes! With Brother Fade's skills, he should have good eyes for inspection as well." Caesar Duexclaimed with excitement. He looked at Fade Chen with pleading eyes and said, "Brother Fade, youmust help me this time. Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by grandfather when I go home."
Fade Chen was speechless. But since he had just asked Caesar's help to find the rare herbs, he didn'tmind helping him on trivial matter.
So, Fade Chen said, "If you want my help, tell me what's the matter first."
"Brother Fade, it's like this..."
Caesar Du told Fade Chen the whole story, and Fade Chen was quick to comprehend the whole event.
It turned out that Caesar Du's grandfather, Mr. Du shared the same hobby as Charles Wu. Both liked tocollect old things, which were not limited to just antiques, but also things with legends and magicalpower.
For example, a futon left behind by a Taoist monk, a jade pendant blessed by a master, the holy grail inthe Vatican, and angel wings to name a few.
They believed that these things had miraculous powers and had the ability to maintain health and giveprotection, so they had been searching everywhere in the world. But of course, for so many years,
most of the things they had found were antiques with no special effects, some were even fake.Fortunately, the two families were very wealthy. and money was not a problem for them, thus, theirquests continued.
This time, Mr. Du heard news in Long City that someone had dug out an old item at Bay City. Rumourhas it that this amazing item possessed special power for wound healing. Therefore, Mr. Duimmediately asked Caesar Du to come to Long City in order to bid for this treasure.
Over the years, Mr. Du had heard of many magical effects from items. But no one could guarantee theauthenticity of the item, so he needed someone to help him identify it.
Caesar Du came in a hurry this time, Master Qiao and others who had confirmed to help identify whenthey were in Long City, couldn't make it. So when Caesar Du learned that Charles Wu was in Bay City,he came to ask Charles Wu for advice. Although Charles Wu's ability was not as good as theprofessional Master Qiao, but he would certainly be better than young Caesar Du.
Now that Charles Wu had refused to do it, Fade Chen seemed like the ideal candidate.
Hearing that, Fade Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't expect for a well-known Chinese medicine doctor like Mr. Du, and an outstandingentrepreneur like Charles Wu, would believe in these things even though Fade Chen knew that somethings did have special effects.
However, these things were most certainly created by the top masters. If these things really didsurface, it would be the fight amongst the masters, while ordinary people would not have the chance toeven try their luck.
However, judging from their looks, it was probably not the time to persuade them to give up. The so-called treasure this time was likely to be fake as well. Fade Chen decided to help Caesar Du in case he
got scammed. "Like this, I'll go with you!"
"Brother Fade, you've agreed. That's great!" Caesar Du leaped with excitement, as if he could rushover to hug and kiss Fade Chen.
"Well, it's getting late. Let's go now and come back early," Fade Chen said.
"Yes, go early and come back early!" Caesar Du cheered. Then, the three of them walked out of thebedroom together.
Outside the room, Mindy Wu and Quin Lin had been worried. Then they saw the three coming outsmiling, contrary from earlier on when Caesar Du and Fade Chen were quarreling. At this moment,they were chatting and laughing, as if they had been friends for many years.
For a moment, the two women looked at each other in confusion and shock.
Caesar Du smirked, "Ms. Wu, President Lin, I was too arrogant and ignorant at the competition justnow. I was wrong. Now, I am Brother Fade's avid follower."
Fade Chen also explained to Quin Lin about Caesar Du's request for help.
Later, the two got into Caesar Du's car and sped off.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a two-storey building. Caesar Du and Fade Chen got off thecar and walked inside.
There were two strong-looking young men guarding at the door and were looking at them warily.Caesar Du made a phone call to confirm his identity. Then, the two young men immediately steppedaside to let them through the door.
When they entered the building, Fade Chen could see two rows of wooden chairs on both sides of themain hall at a glance. In front of them was a casual landscape painting that looked dated.
Presently, most of the seats from the two rows were already occupied with people.
When Caesar Du walked in, a man in a suit, who looked around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years oldon the left, suddenly beamed, "Three Needles Junior, you are here!"
Caesar Du took a look at the man, with a look of surprise, he said, "Donny Liang, why are you here?Hey, if you call me Three Needles Junior again, I will reap your mouth to pieces!" Caesar Du retaliatedwithout hesitation.
"Caesar Du, since you have been here, why can't I be here?" Donny Liang snorted, but he did not callhim Three Needles Junior anymore.
Caesar Du ushered Fade Chen to sit down before he sat down himself. Then, he turned to Fade andexplained in a low voice.
"This fella's name is Donny Liang, from Long City. His grandfather is the president of Long City'santique association. He and my grandfather frequently compete with each other on antique, resulting incountless conflicts.
"This time the news came so quickly that it hasn't been spread around in Long City. I didn't expectDonny Liang to get the news too and see him here."
Fade Chen nodded and glanced over at Donny Liang. He studied the guy from top to bottom and foundnothing special about him, just an arrogant chap from a rich family.
However, beside Donny Liang sat an old man in a Chinese Tang costume. His hair already turned silverand he had a white beard.
The old man's eyes were half-closed as he leaned against the chair impassively. He exuded thetemperament of a master.novelbin
"This man is a formidable martial artist, Fade Chen made a quick judgment of this old man.
Then, he blinked at Caesar and asked, "Who's that?"
Only then Caesar Du noticed the old man next to Donny Liang. He was slightly surprised but continuedto explain, "I haven't seen him before, but I am guessing he is Donny Liang's temporary inspector. Afterall, we were all in a hurry to come here."
Donny Liang spotted Caesar Du staring at the old man, he smirked. "Caesar Du, what are you lookingat? Are you jealous that I managed to get an inspector?"
"Oh, by the way, I didn't see your inspector with you when you came in?" Donny Liang deliberatelyprovoked him. His eyes swept over Fade Chen, and then he pretended to be surprised andpronounced sheepishly, "Caesar Du, don't tell me this kid is your inspector?"
