"So fast?"
Ye Chen looked at him, feeling rather surprised.
"I heard that the auction house changed the time at the last minute and moved it forward."
Wang Meng nodded and said, "This time, many wealthy families and big shots are participating, but they are just there to support the event. The real protagonist is the Su Clan. The Su Clan has long released news that they want the Imperial Wind Pavilion, so the others naturally won't compete with them."
At this point, he paused and said hesitantly, "Honorable Lord, are we really going to fight with the Su Family?"
"Of course."
Ye Chen chuckled softly and lifted his head to look at the lights far away. His eyes gleamed like lightning. "Su Tao, the Su family. The game officially begins. Although I have no idea what you're doing, I believe that you won't be able to sit still."
…
At 8: 30 in the evening, Wang Meng drove his Audi A6 to the largest auction house in Yan Jing, Yan Jing Rongbaozhai Auction Company, which was located in the city center and had a very developed location.
Along the way, according to Wang Meng, the former owner of the Imperial Wind Pavilion Garden owed a bank money because of gambling. The bank had no choice but to entrust the Imperial Wind Pavilion to Rong Bao Zhai for auction.
After the car drove into the Rong Bao Zhai's underground parking lot, Ye Chen got Wang Meng to go back as soon as he walked out of the car while carrying his daughter.
Just as he was about to take the elevator to the eighth floor of the auction house, five luxury cars drove in front of him.
As the doors opened, three men and two women walked out of the five cars. They were Li Yuanqing, Han Xu, Su Jian, Wei Nan, and Xue Xuejiao.
The few of them were shocked to see Ye Chen.
Wei Nan frowned as disgust flashed through her eyes. She had the feeling that Ye Chen was like a fly that she would bump into wherever she went. She could not get rid of no matter what.
Su Jian squinted his eyes in shock.
The reason being he had heard from Xue Lei that Ye Chen had hidden himself when the Fast Attack Group destroyed the Qi Medicine Hall. How could he dare to come out in the open now?
Could it be that the destruction of the Fast Attack Group had something to do with him?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Xue Xuejiao. This young lady had never liked to walk with them, so why did she come to participate in this event?
What about Xue Lei?
Li Yuanqing walked over with a smile. "Brother Ye, what a coincidence. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take a look." Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Li Yuanqing did not think much of it. He smiled kindly and said, "We are also here to take a look. Do you want to join us?"
Ye Chen nodded and followed them into the elevator. Han Xu took a good look at him and asked, "Brother Ye, I heard that the Fast Attack Group harassed your store earlier. Are you alright?"
As soon as he said that.
Apart from Xue Xuejiao who knew what was going on, everyone in the elevator could not help but look at Ye Chen.
What was the biggest news in the past few days? It was none other than the Fast Attack Group being destroyed overnight. Furthermore, the culprit did not leave any traces behind. Even the government's attitude was ambiguous.
Ye Chen said calmly as everyone stared at him, "Nothing much. I happened to go out for something that day, but the shop was destroyed."
"It's good that you're fine. You can just renovate the shop if it's destroyed. Fortunately, the Fast Attack Group has been destroyed." Li Yuanqing comforted her and looked at Xue Xuejiao who was next to him.
Everyone present knew that the Fast Attack Group belonged to the Xue family. They wondered how the young mistress of the Xue family felt when she stood with Ye Chen.
However, Xue Xuejiao said nothing as if she did not hear what they said. They were secretly curious.
Han Xu looked at Ye Chen in a profound way again. He had a feeling that things were not as simple as he made them out to be, but he could not pinpoint the details.
Su Jian secretly scoffed.
'You're lucky this time, but do you think Xue Lei will let you go so easily?'
As they were speaking, the elevator arrived on the eighth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw rows of staff in uniforms standing at the entrance. They welcomed them with a bow.
A hall that was over 300 square meters appeared before them as they walked out of the elevator. There was a red carpet on the floor, and there were hundreds of red sofas and round tables near the auction seats.
At the moment, most of the tables were occupied. Li Yuanqing led the group of people over and sat at the round table in the front.
Many people in luxurious clothes walked over to greet Li Yuanqing and the rest. Meanwhile, they ignored Ye Chen directly.
Ye Chen was happy to be free. He looked around with interest while carrying his daughter.
At that moment, Su Jian glanced at the few of them. He had his eyes on Li Yuanqing, Han Xu, Wei Nan, and Xue Xuejiao. He said in his deep voice, "Guys, the Su family is determined to get the Imperial Wind Pavilion garden. I believe everyone knows that."
His mission for the Su family this time was to get the Imperial Wind Pavilion garden no matter what.
"Don't worry. We're just here to look. We won't fight with you," Li Yuanqing said angrily.
Han Xu, Wei Nan, and the rest nodded. It was a rule among the wealthy families. If they were to interfere, the balance would be broken.
Su Jian's expression eased up a little upon seeing that. Meanwhile, he did not bother to ask about Ye Chen. To him, Ye Chen was just here to broaden his horizons. He did not have the guts and wealth to fight with him.
Li Yuanqing said while smiling, "Su Jian, don't get ahead of yourself. Although we won't fight with you, it doesn't mean that others won't dare to."
"Just them?"
Su Jian glanced at the people around coldly. He did not hide the disdain on his face at all.
Li Yuanqing shook his head. "I don't know if it's them or not, but I heard that someone seems to have his eyes on the Imperial Wind Pavilion."
"That's right. I heard that too, but I'm not sure who it is exactly," Han Xu said while nodding. The Han family had heard about that too.
Su Jian said in his deep voice, "Is it someone from the wealthy families?"
"I don't think so," Li Yuanqing said while shaking his head.
Su Jian scoffed immediately upon hearing that it was not someone from the Beijing wealthy families. "I'd like to see who dares to fight my Su family."
Killing intent flashed through his face as he spoke to this point.
Wei Nan, who was standing aside, pursed her lips. "Is this man out of his mind? Can't he see that we've given up? "
What they did not notice was that Xue Xuejiao, who had been quiet, came to a realization after glancing at Ye Chen. She then looked at Su Jian playfully.
'Su Jian, oh, Su Jian.
Do you really think that your Su family can do whatever you want and suppress everyone except for the wealthy families like us?
I'm afraid you have no idea that there's someone who doesn't care about your Su family at all. He's not even afraid of all the wealthy families in Beijing.
Most importantly, this person is sitting next to you. '
Xue Xuejiao wanted to laugh.
After witnessing Ye Chen's technique, she was filled with fear for him. At the same time, she could not wait for the other wealthy families to go against Ye Chen.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked onto the auction stage slowly.
The auction hall fell into silence at that moment.
The middle-aged man took a good look at the entire auction hall and had his eyes focused on Ye Chen's table. Subsequently, he said, "The auction for the Imperial Wind Pavilion will begin now. The starting price is 100 million yuan.
Each increment must be no less than 10 million yuan. "
Su Jian stood up immediately as soon as he was done speaking. He looked at the people with extreme arrogance and said, "Everyone, my Su family is interested in the Imperial Wind Pavilion.
I hope that you'll do me a favor. "
A slightly plump man with an extraordinary aura said immediately, "Don't worry, Young Master Su. We're just here to watch."
"That's right, Young Master Su. I wonder if we can have a meal together after the auction ends?" Another beautiful lady with heavy makeup on her face smiled lightly.
"…"
At that moment, nobody dared to bid against the Su family in the auction hall. Many of them even expressed their goodwill to the Su family.
Su Jian smiled proudly and lifted his head to look at the auction host. "My family is bidding 100 million yuan!"
"The Su family is bidding 100 million yuan. Going once. Is there any higher bid?" the auction host repeated in a robotic manner.
Even he knew that nobody would bid against the Su family. However, he had to go through the process.
Nobody said anything and the place was dead silent. Hundreds of people looked impatient. They were waiting for the auction host to finish calling for the third time and go home to sleep after the deal was done.
"The Su family is bidding 100 million yuan. Going twice. Is there any higher bid?" the auction host asked in a robotic manner again.
Still, nobody responded to him. Some of them even began packing up and were ready to leave.
Su Jian revealed a satisfied smile. He felt that the mission this time was extraordinarily easy.
Wei Nan shook her head lightly. "Let's go."
"The Su family is bidding 100 million yuan. Going thrice …"
Just when the auction host was going to call for the third time …
"200 million!"
A calm voice echoed through the hall.
