Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 207 The Auction

Hiss!

The atmosphere in the room fell into a dead silence due to Zhang Erye's complete breakdown.

This Zhang Erye, who had previously boasted about landing his fist the size of a sandbag on Ye Longlin's head, watched as his face turned pale at a visible rate.

His body trembled visibly, accompanied by a strong sense of paralysis, as if he could faint at any moment.

Dragon Ring.

His surname was Ye.

Coupled with the fact that he was constantly accompanied by two Three-Star General Venerables and exuded an air of transcendence, the answer was self-evident.

"You... you...."

Zhang Erye's eyes widened, wanting to look up, but that intense feeling grew stronger, making him afraid to meet Ye Longlin's gaze directly.

How could this be?

Such a semi-god-like existence should not have appeared here so easily, nor should there have been a situation of direct confrontation.

But now.....

Zhang Erye, with his back to Zhang Sanye, did not notice Zhang Erye's emotional shift.

"The Zhang family is a prominent clan in Southern Province, and we cannot allow you to act recklessly. Even if you have a military identity, so what? The Governor of Southern Province has a very good relationship with me. Don't presume you can do as you please just because you have a military identity."

Zhang Sanye's words jolted Zhang Erye back to reality. He broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes showing a hint of fear.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Erye roared, then tidied his clothes, walked forward, and knelt on the ground.

"The Zhang family is willing to operate on your behalf. Whatever your requirements, the Zhang family will fulfill them unconditionally."

Zhang Erye's words left everyone present with their mouths agape, filled with disbelief. Their gazes were all filled with incredulity.

Not a single person could believe that these words came from Zhang Erye.

In the Zhang family, although the patriarch was the highest, there were two pillars of strength: the Second Master and the Third Master.

Therefore, on certain matters, even the patriarch had to listen to the Second and Third Masters.

Xuan Niao placed a document in front of them without a word, but the meaning was crystal clear.

Erye signaled for Zhang Jiabao to sign, and Zhang Jiabao could only sign with a cold face.

"Since that's the case, we won't disturb you any further."

Ye Longlin chuckled, stood up, and left.

Zhang Sanye frowned as he watched their departing figures. He cast a deep glance before turning his attention to Erye: "Second Brother, what do you mean by kneeling before him? You are trampling on the dignity of our Zhang family!"

Zhang Erye took a deep breath and let out two wry smiles. "When such a semi-god-like existence personally comes to our door, let alone us two one-star generals, even a four-star general would be at a disadvantage."

Zhang Sanye instinctively asked, "What do you mean?"

"Wearing a Dragon Ring on your hand, with the surname Ye, and accompanied by two Three-Star General Venerables, what does that remind you of?"

Zhang Sanye's body stiffened. His pupils contracted and expanded in an instant. Finally, he could only swallow hard and let out a long sigh.

"What about those two people at the hotel? That existence didn't even ask any questions."

......

After leaving the Zhang family, the purpose of their trip to Southern Province had been fulfilled.

As for the handling of the Dragon Surveillance Bureau, someone else would investigate; he didn't need to worry about it.

That evening, the Electrodynamics Bureau issued a notice, followed by similar notices from many relevant departments, to rectify the chaos in the entertainment industry. All involved individuals would be blacklisted.

The Weibo platform even posted a graphic, blacklisting the mentioned celebrity accounts and initiating various interests.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Ye Longlin.

The next day, Ye Longlin and his entourage returned to Star City and went directly to Yuanzhan Capital.

"Wow, you old man finally decided to come back. If you hadn't returned soon, I would have prepared to go to Southern Province to find you."

Mu Hanqi said sarcastically when she saw Ye Longlin in her office.

Ye Longlin rolled his eyes and reminded her unceremoniously, "You are just an assistant."

The implication was that as an assistant, she had no right to interfere in his affairs; he was the boss.

Mu Hanqi pouted disdainfully. "So what? If you put it that way, the relationship between bosses and assistants is more than just that. Do you think the saying 'have a secretary for business, and a secretary for when there's nothing to do' is false? If you have a temper, come at me."

Look at this disgusting talk.

Ye Longlin was defeated by her and sat down on the sofa helplessly. "What is it? Tell me."

"In the past two days, Meihua Group launched a full-scale offensive, but bizarrely, after raising the prices, they quickly lowered them again. This strange stock market fluctuation has made Tianai and our people feel uneasy. Then... we tried to take them over today, but they completely ignored it and continued to invest heavily. Our account now holds fifty billion, all of which is from Meihua Group's money."

This was also what puzzled them; they had no idea what was going on.

However, Ye Longlin didn't find it strange. After Ye Weizhu appeared in Star City, he already knew what Ye Weizhu intended to do.

"You don't need to tell me about these minor matters. Hurry up and take them over. I'll give you three days. Within three days, complete the takeover of Meihua Group. After three days, I will personally acquire Meihua Group."

Ye Longlin said nonchalantly. Mu Hanqi also thought of Ye Weizhu's words and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You actually guessed it long ago, which is why you let them make their move, right?"

Mu Hanqi smiled and didn't say more. She took out a gold-leaf invitation from a folder and handed it over.

"Wang Xu sent another invitation. He said that a painting will be auctioned tonight that you might be interested in. Additionally, among the items auctioned tonight, there should be an S-class war criminal. He said it's a gift for you."

Mu Hanqi said with a serious expression, as Wang family's young master, no one could ignore the Wang family he represented.

Ye Longlin asked curiously, "A painting that would interest me?"

Mu Hanqi nodded. "He said it's called 'Shanhe Tu' (Map of Mountains and Rivers), I'm not sure. It's just that..."

Before she could finish speaking, a powerful killing intent erupted from Ye Longlin. Under this immense killing intent, Mu Hanqi felt a trace of fear.

"Ye Longlin you....."

Mu Hanqi's words pulled him back to reality. Ye Longlin took a deep breath.

"Come with me to see this auction tonight."

Shanhe Tu.

He remembered that this painting was hung in the office of Ye Guohui in Mobei Prison. Logically, it should not have been circulated, and it should have disappeared during that great battle. It should not have appeared at all, but why did it appear?

That painting was unique in the country, and there were no replicas.

And the presence of an S-class war criminal!

What exactly were they auctioning?
