Ding dong!
The doorbell of the hotel suite rang.
Lin Shuai Nan jumped out of bed and called out, "Who is it?"
"Me!"
Ling Feng responded concisely.
Lin Shuai Nan quickly opened the door, "Big Brother, you're back. Did you catch that old geezer?"
Ling Feng didn't respond to Lin Shuai Nan's expectant look and brushed past him.
Lin Shuai Nan didn't mind and was about to chase after Yang Fei to ask.
But his gaze immediately landed on Shi Meng Ran beside Yang Fei. His face instantly turned red, and he quickly looked up, covering his nostrils with his hand.
"My heavens, Brother Yang Fei, where did you find such a beauty? This, this is too much!"
Lin Shuai Nan's eyes were about to pop out.
Seeing this, Yang Fei couldn't help but snort, "Hmph, useless!"
On the contrary, Shi Meng Ran found Lin Shuai Nan quite cute. She reached out and playfully lifted Lin Shuai Nan's chin, then glanced at Yang Fei beside her.
"You say that, as if you're very capable."
Yang Fei's mouth twitched. He had also bled from his nose earlier, which was too embarrassing.
Although Lin Shuai Nan was a bit overly excited, he at least didn't have the embarrassing incident of bleeding from his nose.
"No, no, my peach blossom calamity is too strong today. I shouldn't look at what's improper, I shouldn't look at what's improper... Miss, what did you eat to grow so big?"
Lin Shuai Nan put on sunglasses, muttered "I shouldn't look at what's improper," while still staring intently at Shi Meng Ran.
Shi Meng Ran proudly swayed her upper body, and her curves became even more pronounced.
"Oh my god!"
Lin Shuai Nan quickly covered his eyes. Xiu Xiu wasn't here, so Lin Shuai Nan didn't dare to completely let himself go.
He then fled in a panic!
This action also made Shi Meng Ran giggle.
However, soon, Shi Meng Ran saw the two people inside, one was Bai Yun Yan, and the other was Tan Chun.
"It's you? You're all here?"
Shi Meng Ran naturally knew Tan Chun's identity. Before coming to the auction today, she had done some research.
As for Bai Yun Yan, Shi Meng Ran could feel that Bai Yun Yan also had a similar aura, or rather, the aura of the Wu sect, which was related to the witchcraft they practiced.
At the same time, Bai Yun Yan also frowned slightly, staring at Shi Meng Ran, and then looked back at Yang Fei.
"She's that long-bearded old man?"
"What? It's her? How is that possible? How could an old geezer turn into a beautiful woman?"
Lin Shuai Nan was immediately shocked and jumped out in disbelief, staring at Shi Meng Ran from head to toe.
Yang Fei nodded, looking helpless, "It's her."
"Miss Shi, please come in and talk."
Ling Feng's voice echoed from the living room.
At this, despite their curiosity about Shi Meng Ran, the others didn't press further. They all made way and invited Shi Meng Ran in.
Seeing this, Shi Meng Ran became even more certain of one thing.
Ling Feng was the absolute central figure among these people!
There were at least five men present, and Shi Meng Ran, a scantily clad beauty, was like a lamb entering a wolf's den.
However, Shi Meng Ran was also quite spirited.
She comforted herself in her heart, "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it." With that, she strode in.
Then she saw the antique longevity box in front of Ling Feng and her beautiful eyes lit up.
"You really got this item!"
Shi Meng Ran sat down directly, grabbed the item, and began to examine it.
Tan Chun wanted to stop her, but Bai Yun Yan held him back, signaling him to observe the situation.
Ling Feng watched Shi Meng Ran's actions and casually asked, "You were also interested in this item before? Do you know its origin?"
"Of course, I know. This item was a heirloom passed down through our Shi family for generations. However, since no one could open it, no one knows what secrets it holds."
Shi Meng Ran appeared very excited, but soon, her excitement cooled down.
She gave Ling Feng a white look.
"Let's talk. This item is an ancestral heirloom of our Shi family. How much money do you want to let me have it?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng said calmly, "Since it's an item with an owner, it should be returned to its rightful owner! No money is needed!"
Since this item belonged to the Shi family, Ling Feng understood why it appeared at the Wen Xiang auction and was bought back by Tan Chun.
It must have been stolen from the Shi family by Shi Kun. However, these people didn't know how to open it, so they sent it to the Wen Xiang auction to cash it in.
"Ah? You're that generous? Then why were you competing with me before?"
Shi Meng Ran was somewhat surprised and delighted.
Lin Shuai Nan, however, jumped out.
"Hey, Big Brother, you can't be swayed by beauty! I spent five hundred million to buy this item!"
"Five hundred million? Who are you kidding?"
Shi Meng Ran looked at Lin Shuai Nan in surprise. When the bidding became frantic, she knew she wouldn't be able to get the item and didn't want to cause trouble, so she left quickly. Therefore, she had no idea that Lin Shuai Nan had later bid a sky-high price of five hundred million!
"Hey, would I lie to you? My Chinese might not be good, but math is my strong suit. I know how many zeros are in five hundred million, don't I?"
Lin Shuai Nan exclaimed, looking like he really wanted to snatch the item back from Shi Meng Ran!
Ling Feng said coldly, "Five hundred million? Did Mr. Tan not give you the money?"
"Ah... well, he did. But Big Brother, you can't just give things away for free. That's Mr. Tan's after all!"
Lin Shuai Nan looked pained.
Although Shi Meng Ran's beauty was appealing, Lin Shuai Nan could make a better choice when it came to money.
Moreover, Lin Shuai Nan's admiration for Shi Meng Ran's figure was superficial. He only desired Xiu Xiu's body, and that was reserved for their wedding night.
"Mr. Tan, this item is being returned to its owner. All expenses will be covered by me, how about it?"
Ling Feng looked at Tan Chun.
Tan Chun's respect for Ling Feng had already turned into considerable awe.
How could he care about an item worth merely over thirty million?
He readily agreed, "Of course!"
Shi Meng Ran looked at Ling Feng with some surprise. An item worth five hundred million, coming and going, and now it was in her hands?
Ling Feng didn't ask for a single cent?
Free things are sometimes the most expensive.
Shi Meng Ran suspected that Ling Feng was just putting on a facade and might have some ulterior motives towards her.
"Well, you should think carefully. You're giving this to me for free, and you can't make any conditions. Although you're handsome and your figure looks good, I, Shi Meng Ran, am not a casual person."
