Chapter 172 Admitting Mistake



Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Han Fei's expression changed from green to purple, looking even more unpleasant.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Wang Chao, saying in a deep voice, "Wang Chao, that's enough. We had no grudges against each other to begin with. Must you be so aggressive?"

This time, he had indeed lost the bet!

But with so many people watching now, how could he admit defeat?

Moreover, there was a wager between him and Wang Chao. If he voluntarily admitted defeat, he would have to kneel down and apologize to Wang Chao, even calling him grandfather.

He couldn't do something so shameful.

Wang Chao almost laughed out loud upon hearing this, and said coldly, "I'm the aggressive one? Ha! Han, are you crazy?"

"We had no grudges against each other, but it was you who provoked me!"

"You, Han, are a great appraiser, high up and authoritative. Whatever you say carries weight, but anything I say is just nonsense."

"I only said that the rough stone was not good, and your disciple came out to demand an apology from me and even wanted to beat me up. Now, in your eyes, I have become the aggressive one."

"Han Fei, do you have no shame?"

His words were powerful and direct, leaving Han Fei speechless and his face red and ugly.

After some time had passed, Han Fei finally regained his composure and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is not my fault. Everything was caused by Yan Jun. If you want revenge, go look for him. There's no need to be so aggressive towards me and wipe out everything!"

"Ha! Yan Jun came to cause me trouble and you, as his master, stood by and watched silently without a word. Now that you lost, you're pushing all the blame onto your disciple."

Wang Chao laughed and said coldly, "Han Fei, you have a thick skin. This is the first time in my life I've met someone as shameless as you!"

"Han Fei, there's no need to be so harsh. If Yan Jun has offended you, go find him for revenge. I won't stop you," Han Fei said in a low voice.

"Master, you!" Yan Jun's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Shut up!"

Han Fei turned around and glared at Yan Jun fiercely, scolding, "You bastard! This is all your fault, and you have to take responsibility for it!"

"Stand up and apologize to Mr. Wang!"

After speaking, he even gave Yan Jun a signal with his eyes.

Yan Jun saw Han Fei's expression change again and knew exactly what Han Fei was thinking.

He had been with Han Fei for so long and knew his thoughts well.

Han Fei was clearly trying to push him out to take the blame!

"Men should take responsibility for their actions. Yan Jun, the trouble you caused, could it be that you want our master to take the blame for it?"

Han Fei's gaze was cold as he walked up to Yan Jun and whispered, "As long as you help me admit fault, I will teach you all of my techniques in the future."

"Besides, don't you like my daughter very much? If you help me this time, I will agree to let you be with my daughter."

"Really?" Yan Jun's eyes lit up.

"Really!" Han Fei said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jun's expression became even happier. He gritted his teeth and stood up, then knelt in front of Wang Chao with a thud and said loudly, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. Everything was my fault. If you have any grievances, please come at me and don't make things difficult for my master!"

Wang Chao saw this scene and his expression darkened.

He stared at Han Fei, his eyes full of disgust.

This old man really had no sense of responsibility. The bet was clearly written in black and white, but he wanted to push his own disciple to take the blame. It was simply shameless.

"Everyone should take responsibility for their own mistakes. Mr. Wang, everything was my fault. If you want to kill me or beat me up, please come at me!" Yan Jun knelt in front of Wang Chao, repeatedly bowing and admitting fault, acting particularly humble.

Han Fei stood silently on the side.

Anyway, he couldn't admit defeat or let Wang Chao become the winner, otherwise, he would lose face forever.

Wang Chao stared at Han Fei and said, "Mr. Han, do you think you can escape this by doing this?"

"Don't forget, we signed an agreement, with black and white words, and handprints!"

After speaking, he took out the signed document and placed it in front of Han Fei.

The handwriting on it was clear and legible!

Han Fei's expression became even uglier when he saw this.

Wang Chao was determined to hold onto this matter!

"Mr. Han, can you still deny it?" Wang Chao said.

"Wang Chao, don't push me too far!" Han Fei gritted his teeth.

Wang Chao sneered and said, "Push you too far? Heh, Han Fei, let me reiterate, it's not me pushing you too far, it's you who provoked me first!"

"Also, let me ask you, if I lost, would you spare me?"

Han Fei was suddenly at a loss for words.

If he wins, he will definitely make Wang Chao suffer and won't let him off easily, how could he spare Wang Chao?

Wang Chao ignored Han Fei and took out another IOU, placing it in front of Duan Wuya, and said indifferently, "Captain Duan, what about you? I won, should you give me ten million and kneel down to kowtow to me?"

"Duan Wuya, are you sure you want to turn against me?" Duan Wuya's face darkened.

Losing money was not a big deal to him, as he was wealthy enough to afford ten million.

But for Wang Chao to demand that he kneel and kowtow was an insult to him!

Wang Chao sneered, "Haha, I knew you high and mighty people were the most fickle, that's why I made this IOU!"

"Now it's all in black and white, so many people are watching, are you still going to break your word?"

"Or are the words you say and the words you write just like farting, completely devoid of any sense of keeping your promise?"

"Han Fei, Duan Wuya, with your character, how can anyone trust you in the future or dare to cooperate with you?"

His voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "The IOU was signed, the handprints were pressed, and Han Fei is still reneging on his promise. This person cannot be trusted."

"We have to be careful when dealing with Han Fei and his disciples in the future, so as not to be deceived."

"When doing business, there are two words to remember: integrity! Han Fei signed the IOU but still refuses to fulfill his obligation, which shows that he has no integrity."

"Haha, compared to Han Fei, I think the Jade Market is better. Wang Chao has cut so many stones and they didn't make things difficult for him. Han Fei is not a good person."

As Wang Chao spoke, many people at the scene looked at Han Fei with disdain and ridicule.

"This Wang Chao is really cunning."

Gao Jun stood on the high platform, looking at Wang Chao with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Wang Chao was just a piece of paper, but with a few words, he completely destroyed Han Fei's reputation that he had built up over the years.

No matter what Han Fei chose, he would lose everything.

This move was too ruthless, Han Fei was sure to lose no matter what!

"Brother Wang, amazing!" Qin Feng looked at Wang Chao, also admiring him with enthusiasm.

Han Fei listened to the discussions around him, with a gloomy expression almost dripping water.

He didn't expect Wang Chao to use such a move. Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, he regretted it to the extreme.

It turned out that Wang Chao signed the document for this purpose. He should not have signed such a document in the first place. It was like lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot.

"Han Fei, Duan Wuya, now you can kneel down and kowtow," Wang Chao said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to argue too much with these two people. However, they had gone too far, so he naturally wanted to make them pay a price and teach them a lesson.

Han Fei and Duan Wuya's expressions became even uglier when they heard this.

Wang Chao took out the document and placed it in front of everyone. This was clearly putting them on the spot and making it difficult for them to back down.

If they admitted defeat, their face would be lost.

If they denied it, their credibility would be lost.

Caught between a rock and a hard place!

Yan Jun knelt on the ground, his expression even more gloomy.

He stood up to help his master take the blame and marry Han Fei's daughter, but Wang Chao ignored him and continued to attack Han Fei, making his kneeling meaningless.

Han Fei's expression was as ugly as if he had swallowed several frogs. He immediately looked to Lu Hu, Gao Jun, and others for help.

Gao Jun understood what he meant and immediately stood up, walked to Wang Chao, and said, "Mr. Wang, congratulations, you have gained both fame and fortune this time."

"We have an old saying in our country that means to spare people when you can. Mr. Han has completely lost, admitting his defeat and compensating you with 30 million yuan is enough. What do you think?"

Han Fei has a deep cooperative relationship with their jade market. He cannot let Han Fei kneel and apologize, losing face.

Moreover, he is acting as a mediator and can earn a favor from Han Fei while also establishing a good image in public, which is a win-win situation.

While speaking, he whispered to Wang Chao, "Mr. Wang, this Han Fei has a powerful background. If you force him to kneel, no one knows what kind of crazy move he will make."

"So, let's be friends. You give me face, and this matter will be settled. How about that?"

"Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy."

Wang Chao frowned.

He understood the hidden meaning in Gao Jun's words, which was to advise him not to confront Han Fei directly, while also revealing his own stance. Gao Jun told him that if he continued to fight with Han Fei, then Gao Jun would also stand with Han Fei and his supporters.

In other words, if Wang Chao didn't back down, he would be facing three powerful forces: Gao Jun, Han Fei, and the forces behind them, as well as the forces behind Duan Wuya.

Normally, he wouldn't care as he didn't regard them highly.

However, he had already declared war against Cui Hong and it was not advisable to provoke more enemies for now.

When Han Fei heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I did indeed lose, I agree to pay 30 million!"

"I can also give you another 30 million." Duan Wuya said in a deep voice.

They were happy to use money to buy their dignity.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think? They have already surrendered, can it be settled now?" Gao Jun turned around and looked at Wang Chao with a consulting gaze.

"I can accept the money, without making them kneel, but they still need to apologize!" Wang Chao said coldly.

"That's reasonable."

Gao Jun nodded and looked at Han Fei, "Mr. Han, what do you think?"

Han Fei was decisive and immediately bowed to Wang Chao, saying, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I was arrogant before, my skills are not as good as yours, I was wrong."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.

Han Fei was a generation of experts in appraising antiques, proud and arrogant, and had never put others in his eyes. At this moment, he bowed to Wang Chao, a new and unknown person, which was really unbelievable.

Wang Chao remained calm and looked at Han Fei, saying coldly, "Okay, that's enough for an apology. I'll give Mr. Gao some face and won't hold it against you."

"Remember, don't think of yourself as a dish. There are too many people who can crush you. Be more restrained next time, and behave yourself!"

Han Fei was silent, his face dark and ugly.

Wang Chao turned to Duan Wuya and said lightly, "What about you, Captain Duan?"

Duan Wuya struggled with his gaze, and finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "I'm sorry."

After saying this, he felt that his spirit disappeared without a trace in this instant.

As proud as he was, born noble, arrogant, and disdainful of Wang Chao, now bowing to apologize to him was like an invisible hand hitting him in the face, making his face feel hot and painful.

All his pride was gone in an instant!

This feeling made him feel defeated and ashamed, as if someone had hit him hard in the chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Wang Chao saw Duan Wuya's defeated look and also breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and said lightly, "Come on, transfer the money."
