“Young man, can I have a word with you?” 

The old man suppressed his anger and looked at Bai Yang.

“I refuse.”

Bai Yang"s words almost had the old man choking on internal injuries, but Bai Yang did not stop there, he continued unleas.h.i.+ng a combo attack as he pointed at the security camera, “If there"s something you want to talk about, say it right here, I"m afraid that you"d scam me if we are not within surveillance…..!”

The old man s.h.i.+vered in anger and he almost lost himself, Why are the youngsters nowadays so rude!

“Young man, my name is Liu Qingshan….”

“What do you want? Do you know that I"m a busy man?” 

Bai Yang interfered again, Whoever you are has nothing to do with me, right?

Liu Qingshan frowned slightly and he took in a deep breath again, “Young man, your name is Bai Yang, yes? I happen to know that there is a kind of wine in your possession…..”

“Wow wow wow, hold up….” Bai Yang interrupted again while waving his hand.

Under Liu Qingshan"s unhappy gaze, Bai Yang squinted and said, word by word, “I don"t know who you are and I don"t give a d.a.m.n about it, what I know right now is that you investigated me?”

Liu Qingshan was caught off guard slightly and that was when he realized that he had made a mistake!

Just like what Bai Yang said, Liu Qingshan had someone to dig out information about Bai Yang, under the influence of certain people"s power, Liu Qingshan traced to the source, which was the wine a.s.similation report, then to Bai Yang"s mother and straight to Bai Yang!

The Hundred Fruit Wine"s report was astonis.h.i.+ng, it was a thousand times better than any health wine. It was something that could really boost health, improve body immune system and quality, making this wine extremely important to Liu Qingshan. He lost his composure upon learning of this wine and had someone investigate Bai Yang, which was actually quite an offensive move.

“Bai Yang, listen to me, investigating you is not my purpose, I only traced to you when I tried to trace the wine….”

Liu Qingshan"s explanation was ignored by Bai Yang, who smiled casually and halted the old man, “So, all you want is just that wine, am I right?”

The old man was already at his doorstep, hiding was no longer a viable option so Bai Yang thought he might as well make it clear.

He was one who dreaded problems but when they occur, he figured that it would be best to solve them right away instead of dragging and cause even more troubles.

Continuing this topic would bring no help at all, as everything traced back to the Hundred Fruit Wine so unnecessary details could be cast aside.

As for Bai Yang"s illogical pattern of speaking, Liu Qingshan couldn"t react in time each time so he nodded, “Yes, this wine is very important to me. To be frank, I"ve been dwelling in martial arts since I was young, but now, my body is feeling weak now as I get older. This wine, however, will be able to replenish my body so to me, it is something that cannot be measured by money alone….!”

Good!

Bai Yang"s eyes lit up, This old man is too straightforward! 

“I don"t care what you are going to do with the wine but if you want it, I have it. I propose a trade, I can"t give it to you for free. There are two conditions. Number one, 1,000,000 dollars for every hundred ml of the wine, non-negotiable. You can"t find it anywhere else so you have to swallow it even if I offer it to you at 100,000,000 dollars. But, I"m a good man so be grateful that I"m offering you a good deal. Second, I do not wish to see anyone approaching me or my family in any way because of this wine. What say you, elder?”

Bai Yang looked into the old man"s eyes and showed two fingers.

Liu Qingshan kept quiet for a while and sighed, “I can realize the second condition, no one will come to look you up for this wine anymore but the first condition is impossible to me, because I have no money.”

“What? Tell me earlier that you have no money! This is a waste of time, you are already at your old age so don"t you know that time is life? Forget it and excuse me, you"re in my way!”

Bai Yang turned right away and when he pa.s.sed the old man, he stopped and said, “Perhaps, you are someone from a huge background, one with connections. You say you are a martial artist so I don"t doubt that you are strong. But the conditions are right there, leave me alone if you can"t realize them….”

Liu Qingshan couldn"t bring himself to do such foul play so he figured that he would find a way after returning home.

The older generation martial artists followed the ancient virtue ways of martial arts; if one was not valiant enough, his heart would not be pure, resulting in a clouded mind that would only lead them into becoming a fallen martial artists that knew no boundaries in decision making. In this current era, anyone who behaved poorly and broke the laws as they wished would be punished heavily at any time….

Breaking the law with what they learned was forbidden, but that was in ancient times. Now, no matter how skilled you are or how powerful, none of it mattered. Hence, though Liu Qingshan was a martial artist, he wouldn"t dare to break the laws as he would have to kneel when he was pointed at by guns, just like everyone else….

Liu Qingshan arrived at the same ma.s.sive villa with a frown to see the old man from back then still making his tea.

“So you met him?” asked the old man making tea without raising his head.

Liu Qingshan sat down, picked up a nice smelling tea and said, “Yeah. Guotao, this time, what we did might have offended Bai Yang to the end.”

The old man making tea"s name was Song Guotao; he often appeared in Zhejiang Province"s television station. After hearing Liu Qingshan"s words, he stopped making tea and smiled, “Oh? Do tell.”

There was nothing Song Guotao never seen, so he was able to maintain his composure against any matters.

Liu Qingshan glanced at Song Guotao and retold what happened.

After hearing Liu Qingshan"s story, Song Guotao pointed at him and burst out laughing.

“What are you laughing at?” asked Liu Qingshan.

“What am I laughing at? Is this not amusing? Look at you, you are already so old but you are still being toyed around by a little young man. Are you sure you are growing older day by day or reverse aging? I"m ashamed for you.” laughed Song Guotao.

Seeing the confusion in Liu Qingshan, Song Guotao explained, “Which means that he knew that you will find him. The first thing coming out of his mouth was that you are a scammer, which also tells you that he remembers you, get it? Then there comes the following question, why are you still showing me? He is not a pretty lady that would attract people, so if he is a person with a working brain, he would know that you showed up for a reason, and with just a few words, he managed to learn of what you wanted….”

“I still don"t understand.”

“I think you"ve trained so hard that your brain is damaged right now! He called you a scammer not because he was trying to accuse you but because he was trying to sniff out your true intentions. He mentions money when he knows that you are in need of the wine urgently so you would bring him money. He auctioned that precious ginseng for money as well so you think he gives a d.a.m.n about that wine? It"s not something that can bring a dead back to life so he wouldn"t hide it. These can all be found out and he would be easily traced if you go ask around, right? The only reason he emphasizes on you investigating him is that he is telling you that there is a clear line between both of you so don"t try to gain the upper hand against him because you are more elderly. Lastly, he is using you as a s.h.i.+eld, a s.h.i.+eld that fends away all unwanted troubles. Get it? Of course, he too, gave you something in return.” explained Song Guotao.

Liu Qingshan on the other hand, was still confused by a little and after reacting in time, he speechlessly said, “You people, are really overreacting. Why are the young ones nowadays as sly as foxes?”

Liu Qingshan got angrier as he said but the shadows in his eyes faded slowly.

“Can"t blame others for your own stupidity,” shrugged Song Guotao.

“And the thing he gave me in return? What thing?”

“You are hopeless, he wants you to help him fend off troubles but that means that he will prioritize you when he is going to sell something good. Is this not good enough?” replied Song Guotao as he pointed at Liu Qingshan"s nose.

“But I don"t have money….” replied a frustrated Liu Qingshan.

“And I have exactly what you need.” smiled the old fox Song Guotao.

“What do you want?” replied an alerted Liu Qingshan as he knew Song Guotao was up to something.

“I want half!”

“Then you can ask him yourself!”

“And he wouldn"t sell me, or sell to you anymore. You promised him to keep troubles away from him.”

“Then why would I split half to you?”

“Because you don"t have money!”

“Okay…. Fine!”

In the rented villa, Bai Yang"s stern expression disappeared right away and he took a bath while humming happily.

Huh? Do you want to say that he"s not angry at being investigated? Don"t be a joke, he"s no superstar so what is he scared off? He did not commit crime as well so what is he worried of? You can ask him straight and he will be as cooperative as he can….

“I wonder when he will send me the money….”

While mumbling, Bai Yang covered himself with his blanket in the air-conditioned room as he went to sleep, rea.s.sured by the old man"s eagerness for the Hundred Fruit Wine….
