Outside the outskirts of Yanjing City, in a seemingly unremarkable market, was the auction house's home.

It could only be said that the so-called Ming De Auction House had spent a lot of time and effort to conceal this from Ye Xiao.

"Master Ye, you're finally here. The old man has some urgent matters to take care of. I'll accompany you to this auction."

The moment the car stopped, Su Peng hurriedly opened the car door and went up to welcome them.

He was Elder Su's second son, and had been doing business all year round, so he could be considered to have a market capitalization of nearly ten billion. In the business world of Yanjing, he could be considered an outstanding person, with quite a bit of reputation.

However, his courteous treatment today caused the surrounding people to look at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"Ye Chen, long time no see."

Beside Su Peng, Su Xue’er, who had long been bored from waiting, jumped out happily, playfully stuck out her small tongue, and greeted Ye Chen.

This time, knowing that Su Peng went out to see Ye Chen, he seemed to be alive. The young girl had spent a lot of time and effort to act like a spoiled child before her grandfather, which was why she was allowed to come out.

"Xue'er, don't be rude."

Seeing that his niece not only addressed him by his full name, but also directly tugged at the corner of Ye Chen's shirt, Su Peng could not help but berate her.

After all, Ye Chen's current position within the Su Family was definitely second only to the old man.

"No worries, just let her be like this. Also, tell me about the situation here."

Ye Chen caressed the black hair on Su Xue’er's forehead. The other person also leaned towards him. Ye Chen had a good impression of this simple, cute girl who had a bit of a temper.

However, the youth could not help but furrow his brows when he felt the looks and doubting gazes that surrounded him.

"Isn't this CEO Su? "How rare, I actually bumped into you here today."

Just as the two of them were about to enter your building, a rather sinister voice was transmitted over.

Looking back, he saw a pot-bellied fatty holding a fiery hot lady beside him with one hand and calling out to him with the other.

From his arrogant and arrogant attitude, Ye Chen understood that this fatty's status was even higher than Su Peng.

"Boss Lin of the New Source Corporation, I didn't expect him to come as well?"

"The 100 billion dollar business magnate that recently went public in Hong Kong? I heard that they even received quite a bit of funding from the government departments, with quite a bit of history behind them! "

"Their Lin Family can be said to be filled with talents. They are truly worthy of being one of the large clans in Yanjing City …"

The exclamations from the surroundings allowed Ye Chen to understand the origin of this pot-bellied fatty even more clearly.

However, he immediately recalled the incident with Chu Yuling from before.

Towards this bullying and incomparably arrogant Lin Family, he didn't have the slightest bit of good impression.

"CEO Su, how is your consideration of the matter of purchasing Imperial Origin Pavilion? That group of villas, did we already offer the highest price? "

"This …"

When this matter was brought up, Su Peng's expression changed drastically.

Fortunately, he noticed that the youth beside him did not have much of a reaction. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Their Su Family could not offend whatever kind of Lin Family, and even more so, they could not offend Master Ye.

"The villa has already been gifted to you. Boss Lin, please understand. I'm afraid it's not likely that you'll be able to purchase it."

"Gift? Who would be worthy of such a generous gift from your Su Family? "

Boss Lin's reply was filled with anger. How could he just simply watch as the villa he had obtained flew away?

The location of Imperial Origin Pavilion could be said to be the golden spot for the development of Yanjing City, and was also the reason why their Lin Family were so coveted.

"Since CEO Su is so bold, then I won't say anymore. Next time, when I have time, I will personally pay a visit to see who exactly is the sage who dared to snatch something from me, Lin Yutian! "Let's go!"

Boss Lin snorted coldly and glared fiercely at Liu Tie. As for Ye Chen, he completely ignored him and rushed into the market.

Looking at the scene of the ten bodyguards in black starting the fight, no one dared to approach them.

"Master Ye, let's go in as well. Just now, that Boss Lin from Lin Family can be considered to be an old rival from our Su Family. There are some words that you shouldn't take to heart."

Su Peng smiled apologetically at Ye Chen. Having been in the mall for a long time, he naturally had some self-control and a normal expression. However, Ye Chen was keenly aware of the faint helplessness and sorrow in his tone.

"That big fatty is really despicable, he even came to cause trouble for our Su Family and grandfather before, if there's a chance, you have to help us vent our anger!"

Beside Ye Chen, Su Xue’er was clenching her delicate fists tightly and looking extremely angry. It seemed that she did not have a good impression of this Boss Lin.

"Don't worry, Xue'er. If he dares to come, I'll definitely deal with him."

Ye Chen smiled. However, what Su Peng thought of him as a joke made Su Xue’er smile like a flower.

After all, Ye Chen seemed a bit distant when compared to Boss Lin, who had the upper hand in the business world.

When Ye Chen and Ye Chen arrived at the auction house, it was already packed full.

The two floors of the auction house, which was big enough to accommodate a thousand people, was bustling with noise and excitement.

After Su Peng showed his exclusive VIP card, Ye Chen and the other person were led to a private room on the second floor by the female servants.

Not only was he able to see far and wide, he was also able to look down at a much better environment than the crowded floor.

"Master Ye, I heard that the Sky Mountain Qi Snow Lotus will appear in this auction. Please verify whether it is real or fake. Also, if master has anything else he likes, our Su Family will also be auctioned."

Su Peng personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Chen as he explained.

Ye Chen nodded slightly. Without saying anything else, he turned his head to look at the center of the auction ground.

Since he promised Elder Su, Ye Chen must have this snow lotus.

Su Xue’er was also extremely obedient. She quietly sat beside Ye Chen and observed the surroundings with great interest. Everything here seemed to be able to arouse her interest.

Soon, the grand auction that was being held by the Ming De Auction House started. One item after another was brought up, and the beautiful host under the stage passionately introduced the items that were being auctioned.

"This auction item was left behind from the ruins of a previous dynasty, it is called the Dragon-Breaking Blade, and was created by the craftsman master from the previous dynasty, Li Jian. Even today, it is as sharp as mud, and used as a collection item or as a weapon, it is still a great treasure …"

The host was holding a purple and black sandalwood box in his hands. His tempting voice spread throughout the entire venue.

It was unknown whether the burning gazes of the crowd were on the treasured blade in the wooden box or the perfect figure in the fiery-red cheongsam. It must be said that with this proud figure and mature lady's demeanor, she was indeed able to attract a great amount of attention.

"The starting price is 100,000, begin the bidding!"

"I bid two hundred thousand!"

"Raise the bid by three hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"..."

The sounds of bidding and bidding rose one after another, causing the previous treasured blade that she spoke of to be raised to the value of a million.

"Master Ye, we …"

Seeing Ye Chen's gaze sweeping across the stage, Su Peng, who was at the side, thought that he had his eyes on something.

After all, Elder Su had met this young Master Ye at the antique street. This also showed Ye Chen's fondness for antiques.

"It's just a pile of junk. Just looking at it is enough."

Ye Chen casually waved his hand. However, just as he was about to look away, his eyes fell on an unremarkable piece of unpolished jade on the stage. Even from a few dozen meters away, Ye Chen could still see it clearly.

This jade was not even the size of a fist and it looked very bumpy. If an ordinary person were to look at it from a close distance, the impurities on the jade were very obvious. Aside from the faint purple color on the tip, there was nothing special about it.

"Take that piece of jade and I'll use it."

A hint of happiness flashed through the youth's eyes as he instructed …
