Chapter 241: The Precious Sword of Jing Ke’s Assassination Attempt on Qin

Zhang Meng looked in surprise at the dragon cast in gold in the gift box, this dragon if made of pure gold, would weigh at least five kilograms.

A gold dragon weighing five kilos, by market value, would cost at least three million.

Zhang Meng remembered this Long Feiyang, he was the chairman of the Feiyang Real Estate Company, and it was him who had resolved the issues when she bought her house.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at the golden dragon and felt somewhat speechless, this Long Feiyang, was truly a vulgar man, always giving gold as gifts.

"Chairman Long has gone to a lot of trouble."

No matter what one said, the gift Long Feiyang brought was indeed valuable by its price.

Moreover, the gifts that Long Feiyang could think of were probably only those that could show their worth in monetary terms, it seemed that only in this way could he express his sincerity.

"Chairman Long, please have a seat inside, Meng Meng, please get the tea."

Long Feiyang didn’t go in immediately but instead let Long Zaitian out and said, "Mr. Li, this is my son Long Zaitian; there were some conflicts between him and you before."

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "That’s all in the past now. The past is the past, come in and have some tea."

With these words from Li Xiaoyao, Long Feiyang could finally rest easy.

The nervousness that Long Zaitian felt also relaxed.

The second guest to arrive was Zhou Tianhao.

The big shot of Wenhua Lane, one of the earliest big names in Ling City.

Zhou Tianhao came alone, driving an Aston Martin.

His attendants placed a flower basket at the store entrance.

Zhou Tianhao’s gift was not much different from Long Zaitian’s golden dragon, also a common object.

The third person to arrive was Lin Yuanyuan to Li Xiaoyao’s surprise.

He had only sent the invitation the day before and didn’t really expect this woman to come.

Yet not only did she come, but she also arrived third.

Today, Lin Yuanyuan was dressed very elegantly, not speaking, her face wearing a smile, twisting her supple waist as she walked over, truly possessing a beauty that could overthrow states and cities, attracting countless gazes.

Coming over, Lin Yuanyuan presented an exquisitely packaged gift box and said, "Hehe, congratulations on the opening of your store."

Zhang Meng took it over, and Li Xiaoyao said, "Meng Meng, open it and look, the gift from Miss Lin is definitely extraordinary."

Lin Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said, "Money-grubber."

After the wrapping was removed, a hint of surprise instantly flashed in Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes.

What Lin Yuanyuan had given was a Hetian jade sculpture.

Zhang Meng had been spending days learning about antiques and recognized at a glance that this piece of Hetian jade was of superior quality.

If one talked about value, this piece of Hetian jade was certainly no cheaper than Long Zaitian’s golden dragon.

The owners of the surrounding stores had already come out and were standing aside. Seeing the gifts brought by the congratulating guests, each more valuable than the last, they all turned green with envy.

"Who exactly is this young boss?"

"He must be a scion of a major family, didn’t you see? The two in front, one drove a Rolls-Royce, and the other an Aston Martin, both worth several million."

"And this beauty is not ordinary either. Although she drove an Audi Q7, her gift is Hetian jade, and such a big piece, too. Even if you have the money, you can’t buy it."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Please, have a seat inside."

Lin Yuanyuan said, "No, I won’t sit. I’m busy, remember you owe me a meal."

Having said that, Lin Yuanyuan turned and left, her actions full of ease, exuding the air of a strong woman.

In the following half-hour, Zhao Ge, Zhang Jianguo, Zhao Si...

Soon, the store was full of people, and the entrance was filled with flower baskets.

"Although wealthy, that’s pretty much it, most of them are from the business world."

"Hey, you don’t think someone from the political circle would come, do you?"

"Even if there are, they’re probably just district chiefs, or deputy directors,"

No sooner had the voice faded than a black Volkswagen smoothly drove in.

The moment the car appeared, it immediately caused a collective gasp from the surrounding shop owners.

"Damn, that license plate!"

"South A00001!"

"That’s the municipal committee’s number one vehicle!"

"Could it also be here to celebrate the store opening?"

"My God, who exactly is this young man?"

Under the astonished gaze of the shop owners around, the car came to a stop, and Chairman Ji, dressed in simple attire, stepped out of the car with a smile and headed towards Li Xiaoyao, followed closely by an aide carrying a basket of flowers.

"It really is Chairman Ji!"

"This young man must have quite a background!"

If the arrival of the business figures before was enough to astonish the shop owners with the expensive gifts they brought, then at this moment, seeing Chairman Ji appear turned their amazement into shock and awe!

"Mr. Li, congratulations on the opening of your esteemed store!" Chairman Ji smilingly took over a framed calligraphy from his secretary and presented it, saying, "A small token, not worthy of respect."

Li Xiaoyao nodded, accepted the calligraphy, and said, "Chairman Ji has gone to a lot of trouble."

It wasn’t that Li Xiaoyao regarded Chairman Ji so highly, but rather that the calligraphy was too heavy, and he was worried that Zhang Meng wouldn’t be able to carry it.

Li Xiaoyao ushered Chairman Ji inside, casually placed the calligraphy on a table, then walked out to continue waiting.

The appearance of Chairman Ji refreshed Long Feiyang and others’ perception of Li Xiaoyao.

Seeing Chairman Ji, each of them straightened up and greeted him respectfully.

Zhang Meng, standing beside Li Xiaoyao, asked curiously, "Xiaoyao brother, how do you know Chairman Ji?"

Li Xiaoyao replied offhandedly, "I saved him."

A look of surprise instantly rose on Zhang Meng’s face, making her look incredibly adorable.

Following closely was Cheng Dongliang, driving the car of the Military Region Commander, a license plate with white background and red characters, which once again shook everyone to their core.

"Damn, that’s the Grand Marshal of the Military Region!"

"Holy shit, that’s so awesome, what background does this kid have?"

Cheng Dongliang brought a sword as his gift. He handed over the sword and said, "You mentioned needing a Precious Sword to ward off evil spirits for the opening, and it so happens that I have a Precious Sword at home, which is not ordinary at all."

As Li Xiaoyao received the Precious Sword, he immediately felt a strong surge of Spiritual Energy, denser even than that of the Seven Star Ancient Sword.

Indeed, it was extraordinary!

Li Xiaoyao asked, "What sword is this?"

Cheng Dongliang replied in a low voice, "The Precious Sword that Jing Ke used to attempt the assassination of the King of Qin!"

Li Xiaoyao expressed his surprise, "Hasn’t the archaeological community been unable to find that sword?"

Cheng Dongliang smiled and said, "The friend who gave it to me said so, as for whether it’s true or not, I do not know. In any case, it’s no ordinary object."

Most of the guests had arrived, with only a few still on their way.

Li Xiaoyao stood at the door, continuing to wait, when suddenly, he saw a bright red Ferrari approaching.

The car drove fast, skidding to a stop at the entrance. The door opened and Liang Wenshuo’s handsome face appeared before everyone.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Liang Wenshuo and thought to himself, who is this kid? He did not seem to know him.

Perhaps he was a friend of someone else.

Liang Wenshuo looked rather arrogant, spotted Li Xiaoyao immediately, and strode over confidently, saying, "Are you Li Xiaoyao?"
