It was called an auction house, but it was actually just a wooden shed built in the woods, covered with asbestos tiles on top and surrounded by three-color paper, looking very simple.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the auction scene in front of her and was really surprised. Such a place was far from what she had imagined!

  However, here, Cheng Zihan also saw other people who came to participate in the auction, a group of people gathered together, some familiar ones even whispered to each other, speaking softly.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at them lightly, searching for familiar faces among these people.

  Ying Yan came here and bid farewell to Cheng Zihan to entertain the guests, Cheng Zihan was too lazy to go over, she didn't know anyone here, if she went over and chatted, it would be easy to reveal her flaws, at that time being recognized as a small matter, but if someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of her, that would be troublesome.

  Those who can come here are not simple goods, and Cheng Zihan dare not be careless.

  She still comes with Qin Kexiu's face, according to Cheng Zihan's inference, eighteen years ago, Qin Kexiu should have been fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance should have already opened up. At that time, there may be people who know him here, and if they see him, they will raise suspicions.

  However, Cheng Zihang did not take the initiative to provoke others, but rather someone took the initiative to provoke her.

  She stood quietly by a tree, even when someone walked up to her and looked at her coldly.

  Cheng Zihan shifted his gaze to the girl in front of him, who looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her development was already quite good, looking older than her actual age. At this time, she was staring at him with ill intentions, and there was a hint of anger in those bright eyes.

  Cheng Zihan sensed danger and sure enough, the girl immediately spoke up, "You little savage, why aren't you staying at home? What are you doing here?"

  The girl opened her mouth and directly stunned Cheng Zihan with a shocking statement.

  What's going on?

  Is that Ono? And wouldn't she know Qin Kexiu and have some sort of relationship with him too?

  Cheng Zihan wanted to use mind-reading skills to see what the other person was thinking, but found that the other person didn't have any thoughts at all, and simply came over to humiliate her.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as the girl's words fell, everyone's eyes all turned to Cheng Zihan at once.

  Cheng Zihan felt as if N black lines had slid down her forehead, what was going on she really couldn't quite grasp.

  Qin Ke Xiu has never revealed his identity, only saying that he is an MBA in business administration, seems to be a pretty awesome person, and nothing else was said.

  He seems to be very disdainful of his own identity and never mentions it.

  However, Cheng Zihan looked at the girl in front of him and vaguely felt that she seemed a bit familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember for a while.

  "Xiao Jing, don't be rude." Just as Cheng Zihan was puzzled, a thick and low voice came over.

  Cheng Zihan subconsciously looked towards the person speaking, and with one glance, she was done for!

  The person in front of her is absolutely not a stranger!

  Because he is Qin Jing's father! He was the one who killed her family and Yi Tong, and it was his doing!

  Cheng Zihan finally understood why he felt that the girl in front of him was somewhat familiar! It turned out she was Qin Jing!

  They say that girls change a lot after they turn eighteen, and it's really true! If the person in front of her was Qin Jing, then she should be eleven years old this year, not even twelve yet, so her facial features are still very different from those in the future. Cheng Zihan couldn't recognize this enemy for a moment!

  What a coincidence! I actually ran into the father and daughter here!

  Qin Hongwei is now the Secretary of the Municipal Committee of Nan City, and his identity and status will not be lower than that.

  He would appear here, Cheng Zihan had thought about it, but didn't expect him to bring Qin Jing along.

  Cheng Zihan always felt that there was something wrong with Qin Jing's body, but for a while, she couldn't see what it was.

  Qin Jing heard her father's words and hurriedly ran back, leaned into Qin Hongwei's ear and whispered a few sentences.

  Qin Hongwei looked over in surprise, his eyes fixed intently on Cheng Zihan. Cheng Zihan's gaze was calm and unruffled as he met Qin's stare, without a hint of fear.

  Unexpectedly, the world is so small, and she ran into her arch-nemesis so quickly!

  Even if I can't kill them with my own hands now, Cheng Zihang secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let them have a good time!

  It seems that this auction is going to be a big blow to them!

  Qin Hongwei, Qin Jing! You owed me in our past lives, this life you will pay back everything!

  Although her heart was already turbulent, Cheng Zihans face remained calm and waveless. She gave Qin Hongwei a cold glance before continuing to lean against the big tree, seemingly oblivious to the gazes of others, and began to meditate with her eyes closed.

  After almost all the people who came to attend the auction had arrived, the auction venue was officially opened.

  The auction lasted for two days, the first day was basically a free trade, and the guests who came to participate in the auction had brought some precious items with them. They would naturally exchange with each other during this time, but the truly precious things were only sold by the organizer on the last day, so the first day was just a small-scale activity.

  In addition to this, the organizer also prepared various small items in the greenhouse. Some of these things are treasures, while others are just worthless imitations. This is where everyone's discerning eye comes into play. Those who can spot good stuff will naturally be able to buy valuable things, but those who don't know their stuff may end up buying some useless junk.

  After entering the greenhouse, you can see small long tables, each with some goods on them, available for people to choose and buy at will.

  Behind each long table stood a lovely young girl, dressed in sexy attire, constantly flirting.

  Most of the guests who came were gentlemen, with only a few ladies, and most of them were first-rate figures.

  After entering the auction venue, everyone dispersed and went their separate ways. Some went to check out the goods on the long tables, hoping to find some treasures, while more people went to the private rooms specially set up by the organizers, where those who wanted to barter directly exchanged goods.

  Cheng Zihan saw Qin Hongwei go into the private room first, while Qin Jing stayed behind, looking at her with an unkind gaze.

  Cheng Zihan curled her lips in a cold smile and ignored Qin Jing, going on her own to look at the various goods.

  Since entering the mountain, Qin Kexiu has been very quiet and hasn't made a sound.

  Cheng Zihan looked around for a while, but didn't see anything that caught her eye. However, she noticed that Qin Jing had been following her the whole time, and whenever Cheng's gaze lingered on something for more than a minute, Qin would buy it all up.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but smile coldly at the sight, this woman was really an idiot!

  But anyway, the Qin family has a lot of money, so it's okay for him to bleed some first.

  After discovering Qin Jing's actions, Cheng Zihan often took a product to carefully examine it from top to bottom and left to right for no reason. However, what she picked up was basically trash, mostly counterfeit goods. Sometimes when she was in a good mood, she would ask about the price. Every time she was about to ask about the price, Qin Jing would come over with a generous attitude and loudly say to the beautiful woman behind the long table: "I'll take this!"

  At this time, Cheng Zihan would usually look at her with a silly expression and then walk away directly.

  After tossing around for more than two hours, Cheng Zihan didn't like anything, but Qin Jing had already spent a lot of money buying many things.

  After buying it, she was nervous herself, probably afraid that Qin Hongwei would scold her, so she didn't dare to continue chasing after Cheng Zihuan and ran back to Qin Hongwei's side with a sullen face.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but laugh at the sight. At this time, Qin Jing was still a little girl, how could she possibly compete with this old sly one?

  Just as I was about to continue shopping, I turned around and bumped into a soft and fluffy wall. It felt so comfortable that Cheng Zihang looked up to see Xinyan smiling ambiguously at him, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.

  "How did you suddenly appear behind me?" Cheng Zihan patted her chest and looked at Silver Swallow with some confusion.

  "I've been watching you for a long time, and it's always been you who's too focused on teasing the Qin family's young lady, without noticing me." Yinyan teased, looking at Cheng Zihan with an eye that seemed to have discovered some interesting secret.

  Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes: "I didn't tease her, don't randomly wrong me."

  It's obvious that Qin Jing herself wanted to compete with her father, but she didn't do anything well.

  "Yes, you haven't. You've been in here for so long, how come you didn't buy anything?" Yanyan pointed at Cheng Zihans empty hands and asked.

  "No way, I'm in charge of watching, they're in charge of buying, it's a harmonious division of labor, and I'm also very helpless." Cheng Zihan spread out his hands, with a look of having no choice.

  Yin Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh upon hearing this.

  "Alright, Master Qin, do you want to continue shopping here? Or can I help you with something?" Yinyan said, habitually wrapping her arm around Cheng Zihan's, and the meat bun on her chest rubbed against Cheng Zihan's body again.

  Sister, I know you're turbulent, but can't you stop teasing me like this? Cheng Zihan burst into tears in her heart.

  "These peripheral things are basically not worth looking at, because they're not good stuff. However, inside, there will occasionally be some good stuff, it just depends on whether your eyes are sharp enough." Yanyan explained to Cheng Zihan as she walked.

  Cheng Zihan suppressed the excitement in her heart, looking left and right at the long tables on both sides. As Yinyan had said, most of the things here were not worth much, nothing valuable. These things might only be able to sell for a few yuan or even just a few cents.

  After walking through the outer circle, they finally arrived at the place where Silver Swallow said they could dig up treasures. Cheng Zihan took a rough look and found that there were indeed fewer stalls here than in the outer circle. Behind each table stood an elderly man who looked like he was past his prime, sitting with his eyes closed, seemingly dozing off.

  "Alright, you take a look yourself and pick out what you like. I'll have someone wrap up three items for you as a gift. If you want more than three, you're on your own, okay, little cutie?" Yanyan said with a sudden "smack" as she planted a big kiss on Cheng Zihan's face.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, is this the rhythm of being eaten tofu?

  Cheng Zihan cleared up the messy thoughts in his mind and began to look at each stall one by one, starting from the first one.

  There are only about fifty or sixty stalls here, with five to six hundred items on each stall, big and small, most of them just thrown together randomly.

  "Cheng Zihan, nine o'clock direction, third stall, hurry over." Just as Cheng Zihan was struggling to find something valuable among the hundreds of items at the first stall, Qin Kexiu's voice suddenly rang out.

  Cheng Zihan let out a sound, didn't dare hesitate, and hastily followed Qin Kexiu's instructions to walk in the direction he said.

  Qin Ke Xiu: "......"

  Cheng Zihan walked to the location Qin Kexiu mentioned, picked up an object and examined it carefully. Qin Kexiu's voice whispered in her ear again, "Young Miss, I said 9 o'clock direction, what are you doing here?"

  Cheng Zihan was somewhat stunned. Isn't this the direction of nine o'clock? She stretched out her hand in front of her and drew a circle, then silently made a silly face.

  It seems it's not 9 o'clock direction, it should be 3 o'clock direction instead.

  Knowing she had gone in the wrong direction, before Qin Ke Xiu could remind her, Cheng Zi Han hastily ran off in a cloud of smoke.

  She finally arrived at the stall Qin Kesou told her about and looked through each item one by one.

  But she didn't know why Qin Ke Xi had her come here.

  When her hand touched a piece of black, ordinary-looking stone, Qin Ke Xiu, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up, "It's this thing, Cheng Zi Han, don't rush to take it, go look at the other things first, then come back and ask about this one, don't let others notice your movements, be natural."

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, removed her hand from the black stone, and then touched some other things. Finally, she shook her head and looked at the old man behind the stall, "Sir, don't you have anything valuable in this stall?"

  The old man didn't even bother to lift his eyelids and said faintly: "Whether it's a weed or a treasure, people with discerning eyes will naturally discover it."

  After hearing this sentence, Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, then casually picked up a fist-sized jade stone and asked: "That, how much is this thing worth?"

  Anyway, Yanyan was going to send her three things, and it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to knock on the door.

  The old man finally opened his eyes at this time, but those narrow little eyes were basically the same whether they were open or not.

  "Eighty." The old man quoted a price after taking a glance at what Cheng Zihang was holding.

  Cheng Zihan put down the jade and picked up a rusty copper piece, "What about this one?"

  The old man took another look at what Cheng Zihans was holding and snorted, saying: "Thirty."

  Cheng Zihan asked about a dozen or so things in a row, but didn't seem to have any intention of buying.

  But she didn't ask for anything expensive.

  She finally returned to the front of that black stone again, picked it up and asked: "What about this one?"

  The old man saw what Cheng Zihang was holding in his hand, and his small eyes finally widened a bit. He said coldly: "This is 800."

  Cheng Zihan almost wanted to spit him to death.

  All the ones I just asked were several tens of dollars, the most expensive one was only three hundred and eighty, this one suddenly wants eight hundred? Isn't this a rip-off?

  "How expensive? Why is this broken stone so expensive?" Cheng Zihan couldn't help but say.

  The old man glared at Cheng Zihang and said in a bad temper, "A fixed price, 800. If you want it, take it away. If not, get out."

  Cheng Zihan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and unexpectedly ran into a foul-tempered old man.

  But is this thing worth 800 bucks?

  Cheng Zihan touched it again and was about to put it down when Qin Kexiu's voice came out, "Buy."

  Cheng Zihan sighed, picked up the stone and said, "Okay, okay, 800 is 800. This broken stone, I don't know why it's worth so much money." Cheng Zihan muttered as he prepared to go get the money.

  Before she could give him the money, something unexpected happened.

  "Wait a minute, I want this stone, I'll give you 1,000." That crisp, that annoying, that damned voice, who else could it be but Qin Jing?

  Cheng Zihan really wanted to pounce over and bite her, but now he was a man after all, and couldn't stoop to the level of a little kid.

  Cheng Zihan clenched the stone in her hand, casting a cold glance at Qin Jing, "Does Miss Qin also like this broken stone? Sorry, I've already bought it."

  After she finished speaking, she put a stack of money in front of the old man.

  The old man directly took the money and didn't even glance at it before putting it in his pocket. He didn't even give Qin Jing a proper look.

  Cheng Zihan was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly read the old man's mind, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt, almost going back to spray that dead old man with a big slap in the face.

  If it weren't for Qin Ke's reminder, letting Cheng Zihan know that this broken stone wasn't simple, if Cheng Zihan had secretly listened to the old man's inner words, I estimate she would have really thought this was just a broken stone with no use at all.

  She glanced at the old man and ignored him, then went to other stalls to take a look around.

  However, it seems that good things have come to an end, as Qin Kesu never made a sound again.

  Cheng Zihan picked out a few things she liked, and after a round of shopping, she spent several thousand yuan. Money really is invisible when it's being spent.

  Cheng Zihan very unceremoniously asked Yin Yan to reimburse her for the three most expensive items, and she got back over 2,000 yuan.

  But in this way, half a day has passed.

  Cheng Zihan also doesn't plan to continue with Taobao anymore.

  At noon, all guests were arranged by the organizer to have lunch on the mountain.

  Cheng Zihan didn't realize until now that there was actually another cave heaven on top of the mountain.

  A castle-like building sits atop a mountain, looking like it's been around for some years.

  Unfortunately, I had dinner with Qin Hongwei and Qin Jing at the same table, and Cheng Zihan didn't have much appetite either.

  Qin Hongwei kept staring at Cheng Zihuan with a very strange gaze, as if he wanted to see through her.

  Cheng Zihan ate on her own, she didn't want to have anything to do with this father-daughter pair, after all, she would be dealing with them later.

  "I wonder which family's young master this little brother is?" However, the fact is often not so beautiful. Because Cheng Zihang has a mind to draw a clear boundary with this father and daughter, but the other party is step by step pressing in. Now, Qin Hongwei, this old fox, immediately comes to investigate Cheng Zihang's background.

  Cheng Zihan had just stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and upon hearing Qin Hongwei's words, he slowly and elegantly swallowed the meat in his mouth before responding with elegance: "My name is Qin Kexiu."

  Cheng Zihan said the name while teasingly looking at Qin Hongwei in front of her, and indeed saw his face change suddenly after hearing the name, he slapped the table and stood up, "Nonsense!"

  Everyone else present changed color and left their seats, afraid of being innocently affected. Only Yanyan remained calmly seated next to Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Hongwei and sneered, "What makes Secretary Qin say that?"

  "What's your name? Who are you? Why are you impersonating my son Xiuzi and deceiving people here?! Speak quickly, or I'll shoot you with one bullet!" Qin Hongwei was enraged, directly pulling out the pistol from his waist and pointing it at Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan only slightly raised an eyebrow, without any signs of panic. Things were indeed not far off from what she had guessed. This Qin Kexiu was indeed related to Qin Hongwei - his son? Why did that sound so awkward?

  Looking at the muzzle of the gun pointing at her, Cheng Zihuan smiled again, "What? Can't others in this world be called by this name? Is this name a trademark registered by your Qin family? Can only your family have it?"

  Ying Yan just sat quietly on one side and didn't help Cheng Zi Han speak out, she seemed to be watching a play instead.

  As usual, it is not allowed to bring weapons up the mountain. Everyone had already handed over their weapons to the organizers for safekeeping at the foot of the mountain. However, Qin Hongwei not only secretly brought a weapon up but also openly took it out and pointed it at his guests. As the organizer, how can they just sit back and do nothing?

  The only possibility is that Silver Swallow also wants to probe into Cheng Ziheng.

  Cheng Zihan's expression didn't change, and she continued to devour the meat in big mouthfuls. After all, she was certain that Silver Swallow wouldn't let anything happen to her. If someone really did have an accident here, it would be a disaster for this underground trading venue - who would dare come again in the future?

  Qin Hongwei looked at Cheng Zihan's calm expression and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  Upon closer inspection, Qin Kexiu and Qin Hongwei do share a few similarities in their facial features, especially their eyes, which are particularly alike. However, Qin Hongwei's eyes have a more sinister and ruthless glint, while Qin Kexiu's are more warm and courteous.

  It seems that Qin Kexiu is very likely to be the son of this Qin Hongwei.

  He was the son of an enemy, yet he was killed for saving himself. Was it an accident or a conspiracy? Cheng Zihuan hated Qin Hongwei and even hated all members of the Qin family. If possible, she would have liked to kill them all.

  But grievances have a source and debts have an owner. She wasn't that kind of ruthless person, so she naturally couldn't bring innocent people into this.

  "You're quite bold! Since you said your name is Qin Kexiu, then tell me, which Qin family are you from?" Qin Hongwei glanced at Yin Yan sitting next to Qin Kexiu. He noticed that Yin Yan had a good relationship with Cheng Zihan, but now she didn't say a word even though he was pointing a gun at her, and he couldn't figure out what kind of trick she was playing.

  "This is really strange, Secretary Qin. The organizers wouldn't normally investigate the identity of their guests on their own initiative. I don't know what identity you are using to interrogate me? If you want to know my identity, Secretary Qin, aren't you capable enough to investigate yourself?" Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and said coldly as he glanced at Qin Hongwei.

  "You!" Qin Hongwei was choked with rage and just as he was about to speak, he heard the quiet Silver Swallow from next door suddenly speak up.

  "Secretary Qin, you have already broken the rules here by bringing a gun with you. Do you want to hurt my guest? Should I ask you to leave?" Silver Swallow had been helping out since she was twelve years old and had seen countless people of all shapes and sizes. She naturally had a good eye for judging people. Cheng Zihuan showed no fear in the face of Qin Hongwei's identity, or even his gun, this composure was not something ordinary people would have. It was likely that he had a simple background, but she couldn't afford to offend him casually, otherwise there might be endless trouble later on.

  So she finally spoke up after keeping silent all along.

  Cheng Zihan cast a sideways glance at Yin Yan, only to coldly smile and continue eating.

  The mountain delicacies here are rarely available, and the chef's craftsmanship is not bad. Others can't eat much of it, but she has a good appetite now.

  Qin Hongwei heard Yin Yan speak up, and knew he couldn't continue to make things difficult for Cheng Zihan. He could only cup his hands in apology towards Yin Yan and say: "Yin Yan, I'm sorry, it was my mistake."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Hongwei handed over the gun he was carrying to Yin Yan for disposal, and then continued to sit down and eat.

  But where can he eat now? From time to time, he glanced at Cheng Zihan, muttering in his heart, where did this kid come from? It's actually the same name as his own son, but it's clear that she is absolutely not his son Qin Kexiu.

  Cheng Zihan finished eating and drinking, then put down her chopsticks. "Yin Yan sister, I'm full. Do you have a place for guests to rest?"

  "Of course, I'll take you there." Yin Yan smiled and got up, leading Qin Kexiu upstairs.

  Yin Yan had arranged a room for Cheng Zihan, but when she saw Cheng Zihan, it seemed like he was still angry about what happened earlier and wasn't very willing to talk to her. Yin Yan originally wanted to say something, but Cheng Zihan didn't give her the chance, only lightly saying: "Sister Yin Yan, I'm tired."

  Yingyan understood that Cheng Zihan was giving her a dismissal order.

  After Yin Yan left, Cheng Zihan's face sank and he coldly said, "Qin Kexiu, come out."

  Qin Ke came out of Cheng Zihan's body at this time, sat aside and looked at Cheng Zihan with a bitter smile.

  "Tell me, what's going on? Don't tell me you don't know!" Cheng Zihan was really angry, Qin Kesou actually kept such an important thing from her!

  If she knew about Qin Kexiu and Qin Hongwei's relationship, she wouldn't have used his name, let alone his appearance to show off.

  It's already so early and I've gotten into a conflict with Qin Hongwei, who knows what other things will happen later.

  "Sorry, I've been keeping it from you." Qin Kexiu looked up at Cheng Zihuan with a bitter smile.

  "What's going on?" Seeing Qin Kexiu like this, Cheng Zihan couldn't bear to continue blaming him and sat down beside him, slowly saying.

  Qin Kesou sighed, "My mother was actually the wife of Qin Hongwei's younger brother, but that beast Qin Hongwei took a liking to my mother's beauty and actually raped her! My father found out about this and got very angry, went to reason with him, didn't expect to be brutally murdered instead. After that, my mother was locked up by him, he threatened her with the lives of our whole family, forcing her to have an affair with him.

  Not long after, my mother discovered she was pregnant. However, she didn't plan to tell Qin Hongwei, but unexpectedly he found out anyway. He thought the child in her womb was his, and naturally he was delighted. Later on, I was born. After giving birth to me, my mother's health which wasn't good to begin with deteriorated further. When I was three years old, she passed away. Before she died, she told me everything and also told me that my biological father was not Qin Hongwei but his younger brother.

  I never acknowledged that beast's relationship with me! He is just the murderer who killed my parents! I didn't tell you about this, because I never cared about this identity, and I didn't expect it would harm you because of this.

  Qin Kesou smiled bitterly.

  Looking at Qin Kexiu's appearance, Cheng Zihan only felt a pain in her heart. This Qin Hongwei was indeed a beast! He even brutally killed his own younger brother and occupied his sister-in-law, it was simply worse than a beast!

  Cheng Zihan could even feel that Qin Kexiu had been living in pain for many years, and in order to avenge himself, he made great efforts and finally stood at the top.

  Why did I suddenly appear at the scene of my own murder and then be brutally killed?

  Originally, Cheng Zihan thought it was an accident, but now that she thinks about it, she's afraid it was also a deliberate arrangement by someone. However, the past is already gone, and she can't go back to see what really happened at the time.

  But old and new grievances, whether hers or Qin Kexiu's, she would take them out on Qin Hongwei one by one!

  Taking a deep breath, she looked at Qin Kexiu with determination in her eyes, "Qin Kexiu, rest assured, I will definitely avenge this grudge for you."

  Qin Kexiu glanced at Cheng Zihan and suddenly smiled, "My enemy, I will take care of it myself. You're so stupid, you should take care of yourself first. Now that you've fallen out with Qin Hongwei, he might deliberately target you. I knew about this auction a long time ago, Qin Hongwei never kept secrets from me, so I let you come. Later, find Xinyan and hand over some things to her for processing. These people are very greedy, the Lingzhi mushroom can probably sell for a good price. As for other things, it's uncertain, but we can try."

  Cheng Zihan nodded, then started rummaging through the storage ring for a while before taking out the lingzhi. He also took out some more valuable items: a jade bangle, jade earrings, and a jade necklace. These were all old, high-quality jade from ancient mines that Cheng Zihan had secretly taken from an ancient tomb. Judging by their color, they seemed to be of exceptional quality. There was also a purple jade bangle that Cheng Zihan hadn't been able to bear to sell.

  "Qin Kexiu, is this enough?" Cheng Zihan asked uncertainly, weighing the things in her hand.

  She's never been to a place like this before and doesn't know how things are priced here. Can she sell her stuff for the price she wants?

  "Bring out that red jade bangle too." Qin Kexiu casually swept a glance over before saying indifferently.

  Cheng Zihan turned over for a while and took out the red jade bangle that Qin Kexiu had said.

  Blood jade is a rare gemstone, and jade has the effect of warding off evil spirits. The people who come here are all dignitaries, and it's possible that they buy these to give as gifts to flatter their wives.

  Cheng Zihan knew that there was another fierce battle to be fought in the afternoon, and she didn't plan to continue shopping on Taobao in the afternoon, but instead wanted to take out some things to exchange with others.

  Accidentally touched the black stone he had bought before, Cheng Zihan took it out and played with it for a while. "Qin Kexiu, what is this stone thing?"

  Qin Kesou took a glance at the stone in Cheng Zihan's hand, took it over, and shone it against the sunlight. The sunlight actually refracted through the stone, casting a kaleidoscope of colors that illuminated the entire room, so beautiful it was breathtaking.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes widened in surprise. "It's so beautiful, but isn't this stone black? How can it refract sunlight?" Cheng Zihan found it somewhat unbelievable.

  Qin Kesou smiled and returned the stone to Cheng Zihan, "I don't know what this is either, probably have to wait for Mangcang to come back and ask him. But I sensed that this thing isn't simple. Mangcang taught me how to appraise treasures, as long as it's a treasure, I can sense it out, so you just keep it, and when the time comes, ask Mangcang about it."

  Cheng Zihan nodded and quickly put away the stone.

  She had a good nap and when Cheng Zihan came out, it was already three o'clock. The others were exchanging things in the room, and Cheng Zihan first went to find Yin Yan and handed over the things she wanted to auction off.

  "So many?" Looking at the things that Cheng Zihan gave to herself, each one was a top-notch good thing, and Yin Yan's eyes were about to pop out.

  Her guess was correct, Qin Kexiu was indeed not simple.

  "Ah, Silver Swallow sister, how much do you think these things are worth?" Cheng Zihan asked with some unease.

  "At least one million!" Yin Yan said with a determined tone.

  As long as nothing unexpected happens, selling these things for one million will absolutely be no problem. Just that Blood Spirit Mushroom alone is worth a lot of money.

  More than a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum is very rare, and Ganoderma lucidum has always had anti-cancer health effects, long-term use can make people delay aging, naturally the market is not bad, especially for those who are in high positions, they are most afraid of death, so they must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy.

  "You go ahead and take a walk around, I'll hurry up and help you with the arrangements." Yanyan said as she quickly walked away.

  In the auction city, after the guests get the auctioned goods, they will give the organizer at least a 10% commission. Who wouldn't want to earn an extra $180,000 for nothing?

  The higher the selling price, the better it is, so generally the organizer will specially arrange someone to bid up the price.

  After Yin Yan left, Cheng Zihan directly entered the private room.

  As soon as I entered, I felt two sinister gazes falling on me.

  Cheng Zihan also ignored him and found a seat to sit down.

  He was so thoroughly ignored that Qin Hongwei's mouth twitched, but he didn't erupt. In the morning, Yin Yan had already warned him; although he was the secretary of the municipal party committee of Nan City, compared to this, the family background behind Yin Yan was even more powerful, otherwise it would not have been possible to hold such a large-scale underground auction here.

  Others didn't have any hostility towards Cheng Zihan, when they saw her coming in, they all nodded and greeted her, they naturally all saw that Cheng Zihan's identity wasn't simple anymore.

  After Kang Zihan sat down, the others took out the things they wanted to trade again. Many of these items were uncertain in value and did not meet the conditions for consigning them to Silver Swallow Auctions, so they were traded privately here.

  Cheng Zihan casually swept a glance, most of them were antiques, she wasn't interested in these things, buying them back would be useless too, so after looking through, she felt uninterested and didn't ask anything.

  Qin Hongwei did buy a lot, his eyes were sharp and the things he chose must not be simple. Here, his status should be considered extremely high, so many times he took out some valuable things to exchange, and others didn't dare to have an opinion.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Hongwei and just wanted to sneer. This man was indeed disgusting.

  An afternoon's transaction, Cheng Zihan didn't get anything good, and it was indeed impossible to expect these people to come up with something that would satisfy her.

  Just as he was about to leave, Qin Ke Xiu suddenly spoke up, "Cheng Zi Han, don't go, sit down."

  Cheng Zihan just honestly continued sitting there.

  At this time, an old man took out a blood-red bead from his bosom. As soon as the bead appeared, Qin Hongwei and Cheng Zihans eyes lit up simultaneously.

  "This thing of mine can be taken to auction, but I only want one thing, not money. If you can bring out something that satisfies me, I will give this pearl to you." The old man's voice was hoarse and sent chills down one's spine as he spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping past only Chen Zihan and Qin Hongwei.

  Cheng Zihan's heart skipped a beat as he realized that this old man was definitely not ordinary.

  "What does the old gentleman want? If I can bring it out, I will certainly not shirk." Cheng Zihan said with a bow to the old man.

  "Mr. Duan, I believe only I can bring out something that will satisfy you." Qin Hongwei coldly swept a glance at Cheng Zihang and hastily said to the old man.

  Duàn Lǎo gave Qin Hongwei a faint glance, ignoring him and only looking at Cheng Zihán with a smile: "I don't have anyone or anything I care about, the only thing I care about is my granddaughter. However, not long ago, a fire destroyed her appearance. If any of you can restore her looks, I will give this pearl to that person."

  Duan Lao's words were directed at everyone present, but his gaze remained fixed on Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed his brow upon hearing this, it was clear that this Old Duan seemed to know that he definitely had something on him that could restore his granddaughter's appearance, but what exactly was going on?

  As soon as Bu Keqian opened his mouth, Qin Hongwei burst out laughing and said loudly: "I thought it was something else, Mr. Duan, you can rest assured that I will take care of this matter, I will definitely ask the best doctor to treat your granddaughter, and she will definitely recover her former beauty."

  Duan Lao heard the words and looked at Qin Hongwei with a silly look, "Secretary Qin, are you trying to make fun of me? I, Duan Hengshan, may not be as powerful as your Qin family, but it's not like I couldn't afford to hire doctors. If those doctors can cure my precious granddaughter, why would I need to come here?"

  After listening to Duandao's blunt sarcasm, Qin Hongwei's face looked a bit ugly, but although Duandao couldn't compare with the powerful Qin family, he wasn't someone to be underestimated either.

  Cheng Zihan watched Qin Hongwei eating and her good impression of this old man increased a bit more.

  "Perhaps I can help you. Mr., please keep this for now, and after the transaction is over, I'll accompany you home to see your granddaughter." Cheng Zihan said with a faint smile and a firm tone.

  She had the Celestial Silkworm Liquid in her hand, even if she was burned to only leave bones behind, as long as she didn't die, it could let her recover to her previous appearance.

  Moreover, Cheng Zihan found the old man in front of her very kind and gentle, she didn't reject him at all.

  "Good, good, good." Duan Lao said three "good"s in a row, with tears streaming down his face.

  Qin Hongwei looked at Cheng Zihan with suspicion, and couldn't help but coldly sneer: "Hmph, what can you do with your little ability? Are you even stronger than internationally renowned famous doctors? When doctors have no way to cure something, what can you do?"

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin Hongwei, "This doesn't require Secretary Qin to worry about it, as long as I can cure Old Master Duan's granddaughter in the end."

  Duan Hengshan also glared at Qin Hongwei, "Secretary Qin, I don't like hearing this kind of talk from you. There are countless extraordinary people in the world, how do you know he's not one of them? Don't think everyone is like you, a mediocre talent."

  Duan Hengshan is a very protective old man, Cheng Zihan has a kind heart to help him, and he is also his only hope.

  He had already calculated that before coming here, this line would meet a noble person, and he was sure to cure his precious granddaughter. Although the calculation was a little girl, but now in front of him is a young man, however, he still believed that he wouldn't be wrong, the man in front of him must be able to help him.

  The beads in his hand are not simple, the beads were found in a ruin, it is said that it was where Yuanmou people used to live, there were only some stone tools used by Yuanmou people excavated, and only one bead.

  Pearls have some use that is unknown, but they shocked the whole nation.

  The Duan family was originally a small and unknown family, but after obtaining this pearl, their business has been booming day by day, and now they have developed into one of the top families in Nanshi. It can be seen that this pearl is the key.

  Qin Hongwei's eyes naturally turned red.

  Now seeing Cheng Zihan is about to get this pearl, he naturally hates it in his heart.

  He gritted his teeth, having made up his mind. Anyway, Qin Kexiu didn't know what kind of person he was, and as soon as he came down the mountain, he would arrange for someone to intercept and kill him! He must get that Chi Xue Pearl back!

  The Red Blood Pearl was just Qin Hongwei's own name for the pearl.

  The matter was soon passed over and others naturally did not dare to covet this blood pearl.

  In the evening, Yin Yan arranged dinner, presumably because of what happened at noon, so she didn't arrange a table for Cheng Zihan and Qin Hongwei.

  After dinner, Cheng Zihan went back to her own room directly.

  "You'd better be careful, that Qin Hongwei is not a good person, I'm afraid he will make a move on you." Just as soon as she entered the room, Qin Ke Xiu floated out to remind her.

  "The pearl is no longer in my hands, what can he do to me?" Cheng Zihan sneered.

  "It's still better to be careful." Qin Ke Xu reminded again with concern.

  At this moment, a knock at the door suddenly rang out. Cheng Zihan looked coldly towards the door and called out vigilantly: "Who?"

  "It's me." A hoarse and unfamiliar voice came from the doorway, but Cheng Zihang was not unfamiliar with this voice, it was Duan Hengshan's voice.

  Cheng Zihan hastily went over to open the door, looked around left and right, made sure there was no one peeking from the surroundings before welcoming Duan Hengshan in.

  "What brings Mr. Duan here so late?" Cheng Zihan asked with a puzzled expression after inviting Duan Hengshan to sit down.

  "Are you sure you can cure my granddaughter's face?" Duan Hengshan asked urgently, looking at Cheng Zihang.

  Cheng Zihan's heart moved slightly, and it turned out that this old man was worried about his own granddaughter, afraid that she wouldn't sleep well, so he came over to find himself again to confirm.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "Of course, I'm absolutely confident that I can cure her."

  "That's good, that's good." Duan Hengshan muttered unconsciously, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Cheng Zihang again. "Ah, but it has implicated you, I'm afraid when we go down the mountain, Qin Hongwei will take action against you, so be careful yourself."

  Hearing Duan Hengshan's reminder, Cheng Zihan smiled, "After leaving the mountain, can he still find me?"

  Cheng Zihan had thought of this long ago. After going down the mountain, she would go back to the hotel directly. She estimated that after returning, it wouldn't be long before she returned to her original appearance. At that time, not to mention Qin Hongwei, even Duan Hengshan wouldn't recognize her. How could he find her then?

  "It's my family's good fortune to have met you, what a blessing! You take care of yourself, I'll head back first." Duan Hengshan said as he prepared to leave.

  However, Cheng Zihan was shocked beyond measure by his words.

  Is it Yitong? Is it Yitong?

  It turns out that Duan Hengshan, she hadn't thought of it before, but Yutong's grandfather is indeed called Duan Hengshan!

  However, Cheng Zihan met Yi Tong after Duan Hengshan had passed away, so she didn't think of it immediately.

  "You, you, what was your granddaughter's name again?" Cheng Zihan said, looking at Duan Hengshan's back, her voice trembling. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking.

  Duan Hengshan turned his head and looked at Cheng Zihan with some confusion, "My granddaughter is called Yi Tong, Duan Yi Tong."

  "Yi Tong, it's really Yi Tong. Once the transaction is over tomorrow, we'll leave, immediately!" Cheng Zihan had been back for so long, and finally there was news of Yi Tong, she was naturally excited, she couldn't wait to see Yi Tong and see how she was doing now.

  "Do you know my granddaughter?" This time, Duan Hengshan was puzzled. With Tong being only eight years old and in the second grade, she rarely went out, so how could she know Cheng Zihan?

  "When the time comes, Mr. Lao will know." Cheng Zihan smiled mysteriously.

  After sending off Duan Hengshan, Cheng Zihan was extremely excited and finally could see Yitong again and protect her!

  This time, she won't let this good friend suffer a bit of harm again!

  The auction will be held at 9:00 am on the second day.

  Early in the morning, Cheng Zihan and others were taken to the deepest part of the greenhouse.

  This is different from the previous one. In the middle is a circular table with a square small table on it, which should be the auction table.

  Zhou Wei saw quite a few people hiding around him, with black holes in their guns pointing at everyone below.

  In front of the round platform were rows and rows of chairs, with comfortable small sofas in the front, each one a separate seat, while those in the back only had a single chair, apparently indicating that guests here were also divided into different classes.

  Cheng Zihan naturally sat in the front row under the leadership of Yin Yan.

  Duan Hengshan sat beside her, and Qin Hongwei actually sat next to her as well.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at Qin Hongwei with a faint gaze, ignoring his malicious stare.

  Qin Jing was also sitting beside Qin Hongwei at this time, and her eyes looking at Cheng Zihan were full of resentment.

  This uninteresting gaze, Cheng Zihan naturally wouldn't pay attention to it.

  The auction is about to begin, and the host is none other than Silver Swallow.

  "Everyone here today is for the auction, so I won't waste any more words. Let's start bidding on the first item of the day right away." Yin Yan spoke briefly and to the point, and immediately afterwards, someone from the backstage brought out a tray covered with red cloth, on which was placed a white jade ruyi scepter.

  "This is a jade Ruyi made by Andada Yu, but because it's slightly damaged, it's being auctioned off as the first item. The starting price is 1,000, and each bid increase is 50, with no upper limit." Xinyan briefly introduced it before starting the bidding.

  As for this jade ruyi, everyone's interest seems to be not very high. The front row basically didn't have anyone bidding, and the quality of this jade ruyi can be seen at a glance that it is not particularly good. It is estimated that this was brought out by the organizer as a showpiece.

  The jade pendant was finally bought by a woman in her fifties sitting at the back row for 3,800 yuan.

  The things auctioned off later did not interest Cheng Zihan much, and Qin Hongwei and others also didn't seem to make a move.

  After auctioning off around twenty items, it was finally time for the jade accessories that Cheng Zihuan had brought out. Yin Yan really did have some ideas, pairing the jade necklace, jade pendant, and jade earrings into a set to sell, with a starting price of eight thousand.

  Because of its excellent color, it's obvious that it's not an ordinary product at first glance. It's a great gift to give away, so many people are bidding on it.

  Cheng Zihan just looked at him calmly and listened as the price had already reached 50,000 yuan. She raised her hand only once, "60,000."

  One voice shouted up to ten thousand, and everyone else was stunned, subconsciously looking in the direction of Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan's words had just fallen when Qin Hongwei, sitting next to her, made a move. "Seven hundred thousand."

  "Eighty thousand." Cheng Zihan provocatively glanced at Qin Hongwei and continued to haggle with him.

  The silver swallow above couldn't help but secretly laugh, this time Qin Hongwei was probably going to fall into the hands of Cheng Zihan.

  "Nine hundred thousand." The price is still within an acceptable range, and the value of the jadeite is indeed worth this price. Just now, Silver Swallow introduced that this piece of jadeite has been tested and confirmed to be a high-quality old-pit jadeite from 500 years ago. Its color is deep but not dull, its luster is bright, the green is extremely pure, and its transparency is also very good, making it a top-quality glass-type jadeite.

  Plus this is a four-piece set, 900,000 yuan is really a good deal.

  Cheng Zihan was just about to speak when a pale-faced young man sitting not far from Qin Hongwei suddenly spoke up, "One million five hundred thousand."

  He had been silent from the beginning of the auction until now, this is his first time speaking up.

  Cheng Zihan's attention was also shifted to him, the young man looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, pale face, seemed to be in poor physical condition, seeing Cheng Zihan looking at him, he turned his head and gave a faint smile.

  Cheng Zihan also smiled back at him, but saw that Qin Hongwei's face had turned green with rage.

  This young man had never been seen before, and it was unclear if he had just entered.

  Cheng Zihan was also curious about his identity, it could be seen that Qin Hongwei was very angry with him for competing with himself, but he dared not to speak out, was this young man's identity not simple?

  After the young man called out a price, Qin Hongwei gave up bidding.

  Cheng Zihan thought for a moment. She had originally wanted to swindle Qin Hongwei, but now that he wasn't even asking for the price, she didn't see the point in continuing either.

  The last emerald suit was sold to the young man for 150,000 yuan.

  The next item up for auction is also something brought by Cheng Zihan, a light green jade bangle.

  "This is top-grade nephrite, I believe connoisseurs can tell at a glance, so I won't say more. The starting price is 30,000 yuan, and each bid increase is 1,000 yuan." Silver Swallow briefly introduced it and began the auction again.

  Jade is not unfamiliar to everyone. Compared with some antiques that they cannot distinguish, the actual value of this thing is greater.

  No sooner had Silver Swallow's words fallen than many people started bidding enthusiastically.

  Cheng Zihan knew that Qin Hongwei had just raised the price with himself, so he wouldn't be fooled again. He only occasionally reported a price, and in the end, this jade bangle still fell into Qin Hongwei's pocket, selling for a high price of 280,000 yuan each.

  At this time, Cheng Zihan also had almost all the money he needed. In the back, there was only a blood jade bracelet and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum left.

  Then some good things came out, and Cheng Zihan also followed suit. Originally, a deal that could have been made for 100,000 yuan was driven up to over 200,000 yuan due to her meddling.

  Fortunately, everyone here is a big shot, with plenty of money in their pockets, and they don't care about those few hundred thousand.

  "In the end, there were only three items left. The first one was a top-grade blood jade that had been passed down from ancient times." As soon as Silver Swallow finished speaking, someone immediately came up with an exquisite silver tray, on which was placed a piece of fine white silk, setting off the blood-colored jade ring in the middle even more crystal clear and translucent. From a distance, under the light, it seemed as if there really was blood flowing inside.

  Seeing this thing, Qin Hongwei suddenly stood up, his excited hands were trembling.

  Blood jade! It's actually top-grade blood jade! This thing is a treasure!

  He gazed intensely at the blood-colored jade bangle, and many people in front of him stood up one after another.

  Yin Yan didn't hesitate, and had someone bring the blood jade bangle to the front, letting everyone in the front row see it clearly.

  "This blood jade, after our appraisal, is initially identified to have a history of over a thousand years, with excellent quality. The starting price is one million, and each bid increase is five thousand, with no upper limit." Silver Swallow gave a brief introduction, and she could see that everyone was getting anxious.

  "Two million!" Qin Hongwei was the first to excitedly report the price.

  "Three hundred thousand." Qin Hongwei's words had just fallen when the young man who had been bidding with him earlier immediately followed up with a quote.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, these people were really ruthless, couldn't they be less extravagant? Although the money ultimately ended up in her pocket, she still felt a pang of guilt.

  Qin Hongwei's mouth twitched violently, but he was determined to get the blood jade bangle and didn't care about the young man's identity anymore. He continued to bid: "Three million five hundred thousand!"

  "Four hundred thousand."

  "Five hundred thousand!" Finally, Qin Hongwei bluntly spat it out.

  The young man glanced at Qin Hongwei with a faint gaze, his mouth just opened, and Qin Hongwei stood up again, "Six hundred thousand!"

  The young man, however, smiled faintly and then his bright red lips opened and closed, his voice floating gently into Qin Hongwei's ear: "If Secretary Qin likes it so much, I'll just give it to you."

  "Pffft." Qin Hongwei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, he was so angry.

  Six hundred thousand bought this blood jade bangle, which has already exceeded his budget.

  This time he came for the last treasure, but now he's afraid that there won't be enough money.

  "Congratulations, Secretary Qin, you've successfully bid on it. This blood jade bangle worth 600,000 is yours now." Yanyan smiled sweetly at Hongwei and said.

  Qin Hongwei's heart was bleeding at this time, the white-clothed young man just now wasn't trying to haggle over the price, but rather wanted to give him the item, he had unnecessarily spent an extra 100,000, and even if he were richer, it would still be a painful loss.

  He took a deep breath, his mouth twitching at the corners, and Qin Hongwei nodded heavily.

  "The next second item is a three-thousand-year-old eighteen-head Ganoderma lucidum." Yinyan dropped another bombshell at the moment when everyone was still reeling from the shock of the blood jade.

  As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone erupted into a commotion.

  At this time, a girl wearing a bikini came up with a tray, on which was placed a white silk of exceptionally good quality, and in front of it was a perfectly intact lingzhi mushroom.

  Qin Hongwei's eyes lit up again.

  The thousand-year-old lingzhi is already rare, and it's actually a three-thousand-year-old blood lingzhi. The best one found so far has only nine heads, but this one has eighteen!

  "To put everyone at ease, we specially invited eighteen experts to appraise it together. Here is the appraisal certificate, please take a look." After all, eighteen Lingzhi are extremely rare, so Yinyan had specially prepared everything.

  Everyone's hands held a certificate of authentication, with signatures from renowned medical experts, confirming that this lingzhi mushroom is not only extremely old but also of exceptional quality and highly effective.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the appraisal book in her hand and smiled faintly. It seemed that she was going to make a big profit again this time.

  Thinking about it, Cheng Zihan subconsciously took a glance at Qin Hongwei, but it seemed like she was going to take advantage of him again, hopefully his heart could withstand it.

  After everyone had read the appraisal report, Yin Yan smiled and said: "If no one has any questions, I'll announce that the bidding is starting now. Since the value of Blood Lingzhi is immeasurable, there's no floor price. The ceiling price is 10 million."

  Digression
