"He's dead, isn't he?" Qin Xiaoya said dismissively. "You’ve worked so hard to carry the coffin here; you wouldn’t want to stuff your own body in it, would you?"
Her words were bold and arrogant, yet her demeanor was so nonchalant that it left Cao Yuanfang feeling uncertain.
"Are you still going to stop My Young Master?" Seeing that Cao Yuanfang was intimidated, Qin Xiaoya couldn't help but ask with a hint of pride.
For a moment, Cao Yuanfang found himself in a dilemma, unsure of what to do. Letting Jiang Chen go felt unsatisfactory, but if he continued to hold his ground, he might truly be in danger. A wise man does not stand beneath a dangerous wall; Cao Yuanfang valued his life and ultimately chose to compromise.
He waved his hand, and his four subordinates stepped aside. Before leaving, Jiang Chen glanced at the coffin and with a casual wave, shattered it into pieces.
Then, Jiang Chen strode away, leaving behind a stunned Cao Yuanfang and Jin Jiangming.
"What... what kind of person is Mr. Jiang? What just happened? How could he just wave his hand and the coffin exploded?" Jin Jiangming muttered, increasingly fearful of Jiang Chen.
Cao Yuanfang felt a chill run down his spine. Although Jiang Chen had not spoken a word in the end, the impact of that action was clear.
His legs trembled; no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do now. This Mr. Jiang was someone he could not afford to provoke. Regardless of the connections Mr. Jiang had, his sheer strength was enough to annihilate him.
Inside the courtyard, after a long while, things gradually returned to normal. Jin Jiangming looked at Cao Yuanfang and said helplessly, "You saw it too; it's not that I don't want to give you the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, but right now, even if I wanted to, I can't."
"Then give me that pill in your hand," Cao Yuanfang said in a deep voice.
If earlier Jin Jiangming had doubted the authenticity of Jiang Chen's pill, he now believed it somewhat. Such a pill was something he would never part with; it represented ten years of life.
"This is given to me by Mr. Jiang; I can't just give it to anyone," Jin Jiangming firmly refused.
"Heh, you don't really believe that pill can extend life by ten years, do you?" Cao Yuanfang chuckled.
"Didn't you believe it too? If you didn't believe it, why would you want the pill?" Jin Jiangming replied.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings were supposed to be mine in the first place; therefore, regardless of whether this pill is real or not, it should be given to me," Cao Yuanfang said solemnly.
"I can give you money, but I can't give you this pill," Jin Jiangming insisted.
"Give me the pill and our grievances will be wiped clean. If you refuse, I won't let this go," Cao Yuanfang's gaze turned cold and sinister.
To be honest, neither Cao Yuanfang nor Jin Jiangming fully believed in Jiang Chen's Life-Extending Pill. However, having such a pill offered a glimmer of hope; at the moment of death, it might truly help them survive.
Ten more years of life held immense allure for anyone, especially for the elderly.
Though Jin Jiangming was reluctant, he found himself with no choice. The Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings were hot in his hands; the Life-Extending Pill was equally precarious. After careful consideration, Jin Jiangming ultimately compromised. The Life-Extending Pill was valuable, but if he angered Cao Yuanfang now, he might never get the chance to use it before facing death himself.
"You say that if I give you the Life-Extending Pill our grievances will be settled and from now on we’ll keep our distance," Jin Jiangming said.
