On a hill on the outskirts of Hong Kong, there was an extremely beautiful and luxurious manor.
Although Hong Kong was economically developed, it was only a small island. It was not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land here was worth its weight in gold. It was already very extravagant to be able to own a house here, but the owner of this manor occupied the top of a small hill, which showed how rich he was.
The person who lived here was none other than Mei Zhanlong, who was known as the number one magician in Hong Kong.
In front of the manor, there was a huge parking lot. At this time, it was full of all kinds of luxury cars. These people had come specially to visit Mei Zhanlong.
In the living room of the manor, an old man in his 60s was talking to a middle-aged man in his 30s or 40s with a smile on his face.
The old man was also a well-known rich man in Hong Kong. Although he was not a top rich man, his net worth was more than 10 billion yuan.
Even with such an identity, the middle-aged man opposite him still looked impatient. For no other reason than that his master was Mei Zhanlong and he was the steward of this manor.
The steward said impatiently, "Mr. Zhang, I've already told you that Master Mei is in seclusion these days and has no time to receive you."
The old man said, "Young man, can you make an exception? I do have some urgent matters and I need Master Mei's guidance. How about I increase the fee by 10 times? How about 10 million yuan?
"10 million yuan?" The steward smiled disdainfully and said with pursed lips, "Do you think Master Mei cares about your little money? The reason why Master Mei charges for guiding you is that he is afraid that there will be too many people coming. It's just a formality."
The old man nodded repeatedly and said with a face full of smiles, "Yes … Yes … Yes … I also know this. Master is an otherworldly master. How could he care about money? However, I really have an urgent matter to discuss with Master today. Please make an exception for me, little brother."
The steward raised his hand and pointed to the door. He said impatiently, "There are so many people who want to see Master Mei every day. How can I make an exception? Just wait normally. I think it will be your turn in two months."
"Well …"
The old man was very helpless, but he did not dare to say anything. This was Master Mei's mansion. Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.
He turned around and left. The steward smiled contemptuously, his eyes filled with disdain.
There were countless people who came to see Master Mei every day. This old man claimed that he had an urgent matter, but he didn't know how to be flexible. He didn't even give her a red packet. How could she let him see Master Mei?
At this moment, a servant ran over and said to the steward, "Sir, the Li family just sent Master Zha's body back. They said that he died of a sudden illness. What should we do?"
"What? Master Zha is dead?"
The steward was shocked and stood up. Mei Zhanlong had no children in his life. He only had two disciples. His eldest disciple was Yi Chenzi, and his second disciple was Master Zha, Zha Liang.
Generally speaking, Mei Zhanlong and Yi Chenzi rarely went out. It was Zha Liang who made friends with the rich people in Hong Kong. With Mei Zhanlong's power, no one in Hong Kong dared to provoke Master Zha. Moreover, Master Zha himself was amazing. How could he die so easily?
The servant said, "Yes, he's dead. Now his body is placed in the back hall. There are no wounds on the surface of his body. It does seem that he died of illness."
The steward thought for a moment and said, "This matter is very important. We can't make the decision. Master is cultivating in seclusion. Please go and ask Senior Brother Yi Chenzi to come here."
The servant said, "Senior Brother Yi Chenzi just went out to attend an auction. He never takes his mobile phone with him when he goes out. I think he will come back at night."
The steward thought for a moment and said, "Master can't be disturbed when he is cultivating in seclusion. Let's put the body away first and wait for Senior Brother Yi Chenzi to come back."
Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang went to the auction house together. This was the property of the Li family and it was a high-end business. Those who could attend the auction here were all successful people in Hong Kong and were rich.
Moreover, it was a business for members. Every time there was an auction, they would send invitations to members. No one could enter without an invitation.
They came here temporarily, so they naturally didn't have an invitation. When they came to the door, Qin Haodong saw that he couldn't enter, so he called Tian Ye, the person in charge of the auction house.
Tian Ye had already received Li Meiyu's arrangement in advance. When he heard that Qin Haodong was coming, he immediately said politely, "Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. I'll go out to pick you up now."
After hanging up the phone, he hurried to the door. The female secretary next to him was stunned.
This was a high-end auction house and Tian Ye met the rich people in Hong Kong every day. She had never seen him lose his composure like this.
Of course, the female secretary didn't know what was on Tian Ye's mind. He had been the person in charge of the auction house for a long time. There were not many guests personally arranged by Li Dongguo. It was absolutely unique that Mr. Qin could get unlimited funds to bid for the auction.
Although he didn't know where Mr. Qin came from, it could be seen how noble his identity was. The Li family attached great importance to him, so he didn't dare to neglect him.
After making the phone call, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang stood at the door and waited. A handsome man and a beautiful woman stood there, naturally attracting countless people's attention.
At this moment, a young man dressed in luxury brands came over. Apart from other things, his outfit alone was worth millions of yuan. He was also wearing a limited edition Patek Philippe gold watch on his wrist. It was obvious that he came from a rich family.
There was a beautiful woman in the young man's arm. Qin Haodong glanced at her and felt that she was a little familiar. Later, he remembered that the woman was a female star in a certain advertisement.
"Mr. Bao, you're here …"
Many people stopped to greet the young man, but the young man looked arrogant.
He was Bao Mingyu, the young master of the Bao family. He had enough capital to be proud. He was in charge of the most famous entertainment company in Hong Kong and had countless stars under his management. The woman beside him was a small star he had just fallen in love with.
With other identities and statuses, no matter which woman he liked in Hong Kong, he would take the initiative to throw himself at her.
Bao Mingyu came to the door and showed his invitation. When he was about to enter, he saw Nalan Wushuang standing next to him. He was suddenly stunned and the feeling of amazement made his brain short-circuit.
He had seen countless beautiful women over the years, and he had even slept with countless beauties. But he had never seen such a beautiful and elegant woman. She was simply a goddess in his heart.
When he came to his senses, he got rid of the small star beside him and quickly walked to Nalan Wushuang. His eyes were shining and he said, "Hello, beautiful lady."
As for Qin Haodong, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, he directly ignored him.
Nalan Wushuang looked at Bao Mingyu in surprise and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Bao Mingyu, the president of Hong Kong Entertainment Company. This is my business card."
Bao Mingyu handed a gilded business card to Nalan Wushuang as he spoke.
In his opinion, the woman in front of him would definitely change her attitude after receiving his business card. Nowadays, every woman dreamed of being a star, and the more beautiful the woman was, the more she wanted to be a star.
Moreover, Hong Kong Entertainment Company was very famous in Hong Kong and even in Huaxia. It was enough to make this woman fall for him and even throw herself at him.
However, he was disappointed. Nalan Wushuang frowned and took the business card politely. After glancing at it, her expression didn't change at all.
She just held the business card casually in her hand and didn't intend to put it away. It seemed that if he was not by her side, she would probably throw it into the trash can behind her.
"What's going on?"
Things were a little different from what he had expected. Could it be that this woman didn't know what his identity represented?
He pretended to smile like a gentleman and continued, "Beautiful lady, can you tell me your name?"
Nalan Wushuang took Qin Haodong's arm and smiled politely, "Sorry, my boyfriend doesn't like me to tell strangers my name."
Although she said it in a euphemistic way, the meaning of her refusal was very clear.
Bao Mingyu's expression changed slightly. It was the first time for a woman to refuse him directly. But the more she refused, the more he wanted to conquer her.
He continued, "Lady, in fact, I want to tell you one thing. You are so beautiful and have a good temperament. It's a waste that you don't become a star.
"If you are willing to join my Hong Kong Entertainment Company, I promise I will make you famous in half a year or three months. You will become a star in Huaxia and even a Best Actress in the world.
"At that time, the red carpet in Cannes, the Oscars, countless flowers and applause, and countless fans will all be yours …"
He talked incessantly and the little star next to him was full of jealousy. The reason why she had tried so hard to stay with Bao Mingyu was because of all this.
But it was obvious that this playboy was going to fall in love with someone else and promised all this to the woman in front of him.
Nalan Wushuang slightly frowned and interrupted Bao Mingyu, "Mr. Bao, I'm really sorry. I'm not interested in being a female star. I prefer my current life."
"Uh …"
Bao Mingyu's face turned red like a rooster whose neck had been choked, and he couldn't say a word. In the past, whenever he said these words to any woman, the woman's eyes would immediately light up and she would like to take off his clothes and have sex with him.
But the woman in front of him completely subverted his understanding. His dream of becoming a star could not tempt her at all.
He was angry. "Since you don't like being a star, you must like money. No woman in the world can resist the temptation of money."
Thinking of this, he took out a Rolls-Royce key from his pocket and gave it to Nalan Wushuang, saying, "This is a new car I bought a week ago. It's worth five million yuan. As long as you tell me your name and become friends with me, this car is yours."
Seeing all this, the jealousy in the starlet's eyes intensified. She wanted nothing more than to rush up and snatch the key for herself.
