"You're not seriously pinning all of these on that broken watch, are you?" Dahai asked, disbelief evident in his tone .

"I don't know where that grandmother is now . What should we do?"

"Do you remember her appearance?"

"It was so dark when she visited the ghost market at . . . wait, no . I remember," I corrected myself as a blurry image of that woman popped in my head .

"Really?"

"I remember customers who have bought my dolls, in fear that they would find and reprimand me for selling fake goods . "

"Draw a portrait when you get the chance," he said .

I nodded and opened the watch . "The needles weren't here when I gave them to Pang Guang . He must've sought a repairman to add them in . I feel like something might happen if I remove them . "

Dahai smiled and raised his electric drill in the air .

"We should get someone else to do it," I suggested .

"Come, I'll drive," Dahai said .

"Where are you bringing me?"

"Do you remember what the second son was into?"

"Antique?"

Dahai nodded . "I suspect that Pang Guang had him fix this . Who else could he have relied on?"

"But isn't the second son dead?"

"People in the shop are alive . "

We got on the road and I couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure they know you?"

"Don't worry about it . Pang family is worth so much money . They're going to be kissing my a.s.s," Dahai said c.o.c.kily .

The car stopped by the shop and we alighted .

About six people immediately crowded over to invite us in .

Dahai gave me a goofy smile . "Told ya . "

"Did you ever think that it's the Land Rover and not you?" I commented doubtfully .

The antique shop was the biggest I've ever seen . It was retro in style and was made of plank pillars and bricks, even the chairs were from high-quality wood .

There were two teapots on the table and a group of people stood behind us, ready to cater to whatever we need .

They were sucking up to Dahai just as he's predicted .

It made sense since Dahai has the rights to all Pang property and a.s.sets .

Who else would they suck up to? As Dahai's best buddy, thankfully, I get to steal a bit of his spotlight as well .

An old man walked over and smiled at us . "What brought you over?"

Dahai leaned in and whispered, "Second son's accountant, Uncle Fu . "

"Do you have your eyes on this place, too?" Uncle Fu frowned .

With a dismissive wave, Dahai responded, "I just need you to take a look at something . "

"What is it?"

"Can you open this up?" Dahai asked, fis.h.i.+ng out the pocket watch .

"Isn't this Pang Guang's? Why do you have it?"

Someone walked over to Uncle Fu's side and whispered in his ear .

"This is too much . How dare you steal his watch, too?" Uncle Fu said indignantly .

"So you're not willing to look at this for me?" Dahai asked urgently .

The atmosphere was getting tensed so I mumbled softly, "You have the a.s.sets and power but it seems that few are willing to obey . "

"Seems like it," he replied just as softly .

"I'll take over from here so follow my pace," I instructed .

"Don't do anything stupid," he warned .

I turned to Uncle Fu and smiled . "Hi, I'm Mr . Pang's lawyer . "

"Does he really deserve that t.i.tle?" Uncle Fu ridiculed, his ears turning red .

"Uncle Fu, you can insult him all you want but as his lawyer, it is my duty to stand in legally . Aren't you afraid of going to court for smearing his reputation?"

"Wh-what?" he spluttered angrily . "He's been disowned by his family so he's not a Pang . I do not acknowledge him . "

"His ancestor only severed their ties verbally . None of it has been legally recorded, as I've checked . The law will not accept your statements blindly . You can ask around if you're in doubt but if you continue slandering my client, you better be ready to receive a letter from the court . "

Uncle Fu glared at me .

Dahai whispered, "You sound legitimate . Who taught you this?"

"TV . " I grinned, almost evoking laughter from Dahai .

"I can acknowledge you but you're not to move my spot," Uncle Fu added .

"We can choose to ignore the amount of company funds you pocket . It's all for money after all . We won't take those away from you . "

"Promise me one thing then, and I'll acknowledge him," Uncle Fu stated .

"What is it?"

"My son and grandson are here, too . You cannot touch them as well . "

"That's not an issue," I rea.s.sured him .

"Since there's no wine, I'll thank you with this tea," Uncle Fu said, gulping down a cup .

Dahai b.u.t.ted in, "You recognize this watch so he must've come to you with it before?"

Uncle Fu nodded . "He did . This thing is kinda evil . "

"What do you mean?" Dahai asked .

"Follow me," Uncle Fu told us before turning around .

"Talk about a 180," Dahai muttered .

"He was just afraid that you'll seize everything," I said to him .

"But there's no way I'm going to let this shop go," Dahai informed me anxiously .

"A verbal agreement doesn't mean anything so don't rush . You'll have a lot of time to deal with him later on," I whispered smilingly .
