    Kyle Shen also said coldly, "Mister Tang, do you want to go back on your word?"     The owner of the antique shop was stunned and then woke up from his madness. He gritted his teeth and glared at Jacob Ye. Then he wrote a cheque and threw it at Jacob Ye.     Jacob Ye took it calmly and then put away the painting. Jacob Ye nodded to Kyle Shen and left.     Kyle Shen stepped forward and exclaimed, "Please hold on, Young man..."     Jacob Ye turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Shen?"     Kyle Shen took one reluctant look at the painting in Jacob Ye's hand and said, "This is my business card. If you want to sell this painting, you can contact me. The price can still be discussed."     Jacob Ye nodded and then left.     The people of the antique shop gradually dispersed. Mister Tang sat behind the counter with a gloomy face.     The day’s events spread throughout the whole antiques street in less than half an hour. Now that the antiques community had matured, news like that of today had become hard to hear of, and such a big breakthrough was really rare.     But Mister Tang was so arrogant that he made a big mistake. He would become the laughing stock of the antique street.     A bald man with a malicious face walked into the store. The bald man's face was dark, and a long scar on the right side of his face made him look extremely ferocious.     The bald man said to Mister Tang, "Boss, what can I do for you?"     Mister Tang said viciously, "Take a few brothers and follow that guy. You must take the painting back from him."     The bald man nodded and said, "Boss, please be rest assured. I'll handle it."     Mister Tang nodded, and his face became more and more gloomy.     Out of the antiques street, Jacob Ye felt as if he were in a dream. He held the 100,000 cheque in his hands, and the painting with him was a treasure worth 500 to 600 thousand yuan. Jacob Ye thought about how he was still worrying about money for the last few days.     With this money, his mother would not have to work so hard. Thinking of his mother who worked alone, tirelessly over the years, his nose twitched and he almost shed tears.     Suddenly, Jacob Ye looked behind him thoughtfully.     He had already felt that someone was following him, and it seemed that the people were up to no good. However, he did not know who was behind him.     On second thought, Mister Tang's gloomy face seemed to indicate something.     But again, no matter who you were, you would surely be in a bad mood after losing thousands of yuan.     But now Jacob Ye was no longer the old Jacob Ye. How could he be afraid of the three people behind him?     The antiques street had its own unique order. Although there were people of various trades everywhere, no one really dared stir up a fight in the street.     But the people who followed Jacob Ye were obviously not friendly. Jacob Ye wandered around the antique street and looked at the stalls on both sides from time to time, trying to find the next big break.     But now it was hard to spot good antiques. Everyone who collected antiques is clever. How could there be such a big break like those said in novels?     Walking around for half a day, he realized that they were all ordinary goods. The anima energy in the things he saw was very little, not as abundant as the anima energy in the painting he had bought. However, the three people behind him were still following him. Jacob Ye could even feel the fierceness in their eyes.     Jacob Ye had already finished wandering around the street. The ends of the street seemed to be very remote.     Jacob Ye didn't want to waste time with the three behind him. He turned around and came to a dead end.     When the three of them followed closely behind him, they saw Jacob Ye standing at the entrance of the alley with a sneer on his face. Jacob Ye said coldly, "My three friends, what's your purpose of following me for so long?"     The three of them were stunned. It turned out that Jacob Ye had already known that the three of them were following him. Their leader showed his anger and said in a low voice, "Hand over that thing and get out of the antique street. Don't show up here in the future. Maybe then I can let you live."     Jacob Ye sneered and said, "Tell me who sent you here. I will consider not letting you suffer too much."     The three of them were stunned at the same time, and there was a hint of malice on their faces. Another man with a crew cut said in a low voice, "Boss, don't talk nonsense with this kid. Anyway, we have killed many people, adding one more to our list won’t matter."     Jacob Ye's heart froze. The bald man and the crew-cut man looked vicious and bloodthirsty. Obviously, their hands had been stained by blood before. Looking at the bald man's face, he suddenly remembered something. Wasn't this a serious criminal who had been wanted by the Public Security Bureau a few days ago?     Each of the three people had a glinting dagger on their hands. The bald man said viciously, "The ancient painting is on him. Boy, since you don't appreciate favors, then don’t blame us."     The bald head rushed forward and stabbed at Jacob Ye's lower abdomen with the dagger in his hand. The remaining two people took the opportunity to surround Jacob Ye to prevent him from escaping.     Jacob Ye felt that there was no need for him to hold back. He suddenly pounced forward and buckled under the bald man's wrist. With a slight c***k, Jacob Ye kicked him with his foot and the bald man screamed.     "Boom!" With a loud sound, the strong body of the bald man hit the wall heavily, and then bounced back. He lay on the ground and seemed to have lost consciousness.     Before the other two men could react, Jacob Ye jumped up and made a beautiful rotation in the air, hitting the right side of the crew-cut head.     With a grunt, the man flew up high and fell to the ground. Wisps of blood came out of his mouth and nose. It seemed that he had lost consciousness.     Jacob Ye had knocked down his two companions in an instant, and the last one standing trembled and broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, they are facing a tough one today.     He knew the origins of his two companions. Both of them were ruthless people who killed without blinking an eye. Since they had been knocked down easily by Jacob Ye in a face-to-face encounter, Jacob Ye was certainly not just a college student.     The remaining thug was in a cold sweat. He nervously held the dagger in his hand and could feel that his palm was full of cold sweat.     Jacob Ye shouted and pretended to jump. The remaining thug jumped and retreated. He slipped and fell to the ground.     Jacob Ye shook his head, sneering, "How dare you become a gangster with such little courage?"     Jacob Ye stopped talking and stepped forward. He gently touched the back of the thug’s head, and the thug immediately fell asleep.     Jacob Ye glanced at the three people on the ground and saw that the bald man and the other man were shining in blood. It was obvious that the bald man's hands were stained with blood.     Jacob Ye was startled. He took out his old mobile phone and was about to call the police, but after thinking about it, he put down the phone.     If he called the police on his mobile phone, it would inevitably lead to a series of questions later. A college student who could easily knock down several serious criminals who looked so vicious? Would you think it's normal?     Someone would notice them eventually and call the police.     Mister Tang, who was sitting steadily by the counter in the Tang Antique Store, was very excited. The bald man had gone out for so long, and there should be news soon.
