CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460: THE JADE RING IS FAKE

"I, I want to go home."

"Okay, I’ll take you home right now, and also, make a call to the hospital and tell them that you won’t be going in the next couple of days, just rest quietly at home. After I drop you off, I need to go to the hotel, and then, return the Jade Ring to its rightful owner."

As he said this, he touched his chest, for in fact, the Jade Ring was hidden there.

This was the main event for him today, and fortunately, his efforts hadn’t been in vain; he had the item in his hands.

If that’s the case, he believed that this should sufficiently settle matters with Guo Hongyu.

"I can’t go alone, I’m too scared on my own."

"It’s okay, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Don’t you realize what situation they are in now? Rest assured, after I deliver the Jade Ring back to the hotel, I will rush over to meet up with you, got it?"

"Okay, I got it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaru nodded; she was feeling indescribably exhausted at the moment.

Her body wasn’t originally this weary, but after the fright, Lin Yaru felt as though her energy had been completely drained.

If Lin Yaru were to keep enduring this, she truly wouldn’t have the strength to continue.

Later, a car arrived, taking Lin Yaru directly home. After comforting her there, he then set out towards Jiangzhou Hotel, using the address previously provided by Li Fu.

It was as if someone had been waiting for him; as soon as Ye Chen entered the hotel lobby, two men approached him out of the blue.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Ye Chen?"

They spoke to him calmly, and then Ye Chen looked up and confirmed that he had never seen these two men before.

"Yes, I’m Ye Chen. Who might you be?"

"Oh, the young master has instructed us to wait for you here and said to bring you over as soon as Mr. Ye Chen arrives. Please, this way, Mr. Ye Chen."

The two men were very polite, which made Ye Chen feel a bit odd. How could they have known all this?

Never mind, he couldn’t worry about that now. Perhaps they had their own influence and therefore waited personally here; maybe the people he had encountered last time were just one of their bodyguards.

Once out of the elevator, Ye Chen could see that this entire floor seemed to have been booked by them.

At the elevator entrance were a few men in black suits, who stepped aside upon seeing them, clearing a path.

Moving forward, Ye Chen saw a pair of large, antique-looking doors ahead, indicating that the place was indeed of high class.

After a light knock at the door, the two men retreated.

This truly surprised Ye Chen.

Before, he only knew of a very ordinary young man, but had never imagined that his way of doing things would be so low-key.

To command such a presence here and bring only two bodyguards to the auction, along with the clothes he wore, it somewhat seemed inconsistent with his current status.

But no matter, Ye Chen fancied this person, and whatever situation this person was in, it really wasn’t Ye Chen’s concern.

Then, the doors opened and he saw Guo Hongyu inside, waiting for him.

"Brother Ye Chen, I knew you would come today. Brother Ye Chen, please, come in."

As soon as he entered, Guo Hongyu quickly walked up and took Ye Chen’s hand, leading him into the sitting room.

Ye Chen sat on the sofa and just looked up at him.

"Brother Ye Chen, how are things going? Did you find out where the Jade Ring is? Also, who took it?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve brought the Jade Ring back to you. Check it first, is this the item?"

While speaking, Ye Chen took out the Jade Ring from his inner jacket pocket.

When Guo Hongyu saw the box, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, and he quickly took the Jade Ring in his hands.

He didn’t open it in haste, but just held it in his hands, caressing it over and over.

"Yes, it must be it, it must be, that’s great, really great."

As he said this, Guo Hongyu then opened the box and took out the Jade Ring. However, after briefly looking at it, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Brother Ye Chen, are you sure, is this really the Jade Ring?"

"What, isn’t it?"

At this moment, Ye Chen started to feel that something might be seriously wrong.

"If I’m not mistaken, this item has been swapped; it’s a fake, a replica."

"A replica? Are you sure?"

Ye Chen hadn’t expected Yang Wenyu to dare deceive him at this point; he felt the man was perhaps too audacious.

"Yes, I’m certain, it’s a hundred percent a replica. I noticed at a glance, there should be a character engraved on the inside of the original Jade Ring, but look, this one has nothing. Besides that point, the other aspects do look quite similar."

"Damn it, to think I’ve been fooled. Don’t worry, I’ll go back to him right now."

With those words, Ye Chen took the Jade Ring in his hands once more and stood up, ready to leave.

"Brother Ye Chen, tell me, who did this?"

"It was a man named Yang Wenyu. I’ve already taught them a lesson for you. Just, I was a little careless this time, not expecting he would use a fake like this to deceive me. But don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this. Stay here and wait; I should be able to come back before daybreak."
