Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

"I said at the auction that one must know one's limits. I can let today's matter go, but we haven't settled the score for the Zhao family's secret resale of high-quality counterfeit antiques and disruption of the antique appraisal circle."

Then he turned to the head of the Zhao family.

She gestured for Jiang Yan to produce a stack of evidence: "This is a list and transaction records of your Zhao family's resale of high-quality counterfeit antiques over the past three years, involving tens of millions of yuan, with victims all over the country. If I hand this evidence over to the Cultural Bureau and the police, the Zhao family will probably have no place left in Kyoto's antique appraisal circle."

The Zhao family patriarch was shocked. After taking the evidence, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. The evidence was extremely well-hidden, and even he thought it was perfectly concealed. He never expected that Jiang Wenxi would have it all.

He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Miss Jiang, please have mercy! My Zhao family will never dare to do it again. We are willing to hand over all illegal gains and compensate the victims for their losses. We only beg you to spare the Zhao family's life!"

Jiang Wenxi looked at his humble appearance, her eyes devoid of any emotion: "I gave you a chance, but the Zhao family didn't know how to cherish it. You have three days to resolve all outstanding issues, issue a public apology and provide compensation. Otherwise, I don't mind making the Zhao family disappear completely from the Kyoto treasure-hunting circle."

"Yes! Yes! I will definitely do as you say!"

The head of the Zhao family repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude, then dragged the terrified Zhao Manqi away from the Xishan Villa in a disheveled state.

Silence returned to the hall, and everyone looked at Jiang Wenxi with nothing but awe.

Su Zhenbang stroked his beard and exclaimed, "Miss Jiang's strategic planning is truly admirable; she not only resolved the difficulties but also punished the unhealthy practices!"

Lin Zhenhong chimed in, "Miss Jiang is not only powerful, but also courageous and decisive. With you by her side, the Kyoto treasure appraisal circle will surely be able to quell the chaos in the future."

Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly and sat down again: "It's just punishing petty thieves."

She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, glanced at everyone, and spoke calmly.

"Thank you all for witnessing today's events. From now on in Kyoto, I wish to treat everyone with sincerity and work together to protect cultural relics. As for those with ill intentions, I will show no mercy."

Lu Chengyu raised his glass first: "Miss Jiang is absolutely right! My Lu family is willing to join hands with Miss Jiang to safeguard the order of the treasure appraisal circle. If needed, the Lu family will provide full assistance!"

Su Zhenbang, Gu Jingchen, and others also raised their glasses in response. The private banquet turned into a stage for Jiang Wenxi to establish her authority, which allowed her to firmly establish herself in the elite circles of Kyoto, and no one dared to underestimate her anymore.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines through the window onto Jiang Wenxi's cheongsam, the silver orchid pattern shimmering with a soft luster, yet unable to conceal the sharpness and determination in her eyes.

After the private banquet ended, Jiang Yan escorted Jiang Wenxi back to Jingyuan, reporting on the way: "Lu Chengyu has frozen the resources of the collateral branches and expelled Lu Mingyuan."

Jiang Wenxi nodded.

Three days later, the Zhao family's commitment to fulfilling their obligations was posted on the core bulletin board of the Kyoto aristocratic circle as scheduled, and was simultaneously released on the official platform—all illegal gains related to antique transactions were handed over in full, all economic losses of the victimized collectors were fully compensated, all industries and subsidiaries related to antiques and cultural relics under their control were completely deregistered, and they would never get involved in this field again.

Old Master Zhao, along with core members of the Zhao family, published an apology in the newspaper, stating that he would henceforth cultivate himself and reflect on his actions, and would no longer concern himself with family affairs.

Zhao Manqi, the previously arrogant and domineering daughter of the Zhao family, quietly left the country on the day the announcement was made. It is said that she was sent overseas by the Zhao family to avoid trouble and there is no possibility of her returning to China in the short term.

The news swept through the entire Kyoto aristocratic circle like a thunderbolt. Those families that had previously held a wait-and-see attitude and dared not easily take sides instantly saw the situation clearly. They all lowered their stance and used various connections to extend olive branches, or even pay a visit, just hoping to establish a relationship with Jiang Wenxi.

Faced with a flood of well-wishes, Jiang Wenxi did not rush to respond, but instead made a charitable donation of one billion yuan.

The funds were strictly supervised by a third-party auditing agency throughout the process and were precisely invested in public welfare projects such as cultural relic restoration, ancient book protection, and intangible cultural heritage preservation across the country. The Cultural Promotion Association immediately disclosed the details of fund usage, and every expenditure was clear, transparent, and without any irregularities.

It was precisely because of this courage and sincerity that the invitation to become the public welfare ambassador for the protection of cultural relics in Shanghai arrived as scheduled. After a little thought, Jiang Wenxi readily agreed. For her, this identity was not about fame or fortune, but it would make it easier for her to do what she wanted to do.

At this moment, Jiang Wenxi was sitting on a private jet on her way back to Shanghai, her eyes gently closed, leaning back in her comfortable seat to rest.

Although there was a hint of fatigue between his brows, he still couldn't hide his calm and composed aura.

These past few days in Kyoto have been filled with hard work, from confronting the Zhao family and collecting evidence to pushing for the resolution of the case and negotiating donations. Even though she is full of energy, she is inevitably a little tired.

The day after she arrived home, Fu Siya and her friends came to visit.

The three of them were already waiting outside the door early in the morning, their faces full of undisguised excitement and curiosity.

As soon as she entered, Ma Yun couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with amazement: "Wenxi, you're so famous! Your actions in Kyoto were absolutely earth-shattering! Not only have the scions of Kyoto's elite families spread the word, but even the circles in Shanghai and bigwigs from other provinces and cities all know your name now!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxi remained expressionless. She slowly walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and spoke in a flat tone as if she were talking about someone else: "Yes, I know."

Ma Yun quickly stepped forward, gave Jiang Wenxi a thumbs-up, and said with admiration, "I have to say, you're amazing! Every time you attend a banquet, you make a big splash. You never do anything unless you're absolutely sure of something, and when you do, you shock everyone. Even an old and powerful family like the Zhao family is completely under your thumb!"

Jiang Wenxi put down her coffee cup, glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "If they hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered to break ties with them."

"That's incredibly bold!" Ma Yun immediately flattered him. "Indeed, when it comes to going head-to-head, you're second to none!"

Jiang Xunye then spoke, his tone tinged with amusement: "But speaking of which, your actions have essentially given your company a free GG."

"Your name and your company's name have been at the top of the trending search list for several days now. We've even saved on advertising costs, and the company's brand awareness has skyrocketed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxi smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "That's perfect, it saves us a lot of money on advertising."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yun, Jiang Xunye, and Fu Siya exchanged bewildered glances, speechless.

Ma Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Who's talking to you about this! Only you could come up with such an outrageous way of advertising. It's truly a unique approach; others couldn't even copy it!"
