The howl of the security guard shocked everyone.
Having no choice, the auction was paused and everyone set their eyes on him.
âIn this matter, I can prove that he definitely doesnât have the money. In short, we are defending the reputation of the Ming Family. The honor of the Ming Family should be protected at all costs!â said the middle-aged man named Su Da, who was beside Li Yali.
His flattery caused all the Ming Family members in the hall to look at him with appreciation.
However.
Smack!
A loud noise pierced the air.
Su Daâs face had been slapped.
At once, the left side of Su Daâs face became swollen. Even a few of his teeth were broken.
The one who slapped him was the security guard.
âWhy did you slap me?â Su Da covered his face and asked in grievance.
The security guard was also in stupefaction. âI-I donât know!â
Smack!
Another slap landed on Su Daâs face. He was slapped by the security guard again.
The right side of Su Daâs face was swollen now.
âOh God! President Su!â Li Yali gasped in concern.
âWild Wolf, what are you doing?â Ming Zhu stood up from her VIP seat and asked coldly.
The next second, Wild Wolf turned abruptly and walked toward Ming Zhu.
âMiss, please listen to my explanation!â Wild Wolf pleaded helplessly.
âEnough! I donât want⦠W-What are you trying to do?â
Suddenly, both of Wild Wolfâs hands were raised.
In a swift action, he grabbed Ming Zhuâs breasts.
âAh!â Ming Zhu screamed in horror. âGet your hands off me! Bastard!â
Only then did a few security guards tear Wild Wolf away.
Wild Wolf burst into tears out of shock and kneeled down. âMiss, I didnât mean it!â
His body was indeed not under his control now.
When Ming Zhu was blushing in embarrassment and was about to teach him a lesson, Wild Wolf, who was kneeling now, suddenly grabbed Ming Zhuâs skirt and pulled it off curtly.
Her bottom was exposed completely.
âAh!!â Ming Zhu screamed frantically.
Many of the men in the hall also howled while thinking, Damn, that really is prettyâ¦
âBastard! Beat him to death!â Ming Zhu shouted.
After that, a bodyguard brought a shirt and wrapped it around her. Humiliated, they left.
On the other side, Chen Hao gave a faint smile.
After this scene, the hall was quieter than before.
âAlright, letâs see if anyone recognizes the next medicinal materialâFive Tastes Herb!â
The auction was back in motion.
âThey really have this herb here!â Chen Hao cut off his thoughts and gasped in astonishment.
âI told you, Mr. Chen. You can find all types of medicinal material in this auction. You name it, they have it!â Yang Wei felt at ease and smiled as he replied.
âDue to its speciality, this medicinal material will have a starting price of 20 million!â the emcee announced.
The remaining Ming Family members in the auction looked at each other.
Then, they shouted, â20 million!â
After that, they looked around to see if anyone would raise the price.
It was clear that the Ming Family was aiming for the Five Tastes Herb.
Is it possible that they knew the magical effects of this Five Tastes Herb? Chen Hao could not help but suspect.
â30 million!â Chen Hao raised the price.
Immediately, he received a warning from the Ming Family.
â50 million!â the Ming Family added again.
âWow. Another 50 million!â
The crowd was simmering with excitement again.
Li Yali looked at Chen Hao and shook her head. You will probably find yourself in a bad situation later.
Thatâs such a large amount of money. If you canât pay, not only will the Ming Family come after you, the organizer will not let you off as well.
â10 million!â Chen Hao said.
âPfft!â
âIs this young man crazy? How can someone decrease the price?â
The crowd roared with laughter.
Li Yali felt even more speechless.
âSir, you canât decrease the price!â Yang Wei reminded him out of kindness.
âI havenât finished my sentence. What I meant was, I will add on another 10 million no matter how much the price is raised!â
âDamn!â
Everyone was shocked, especially Li Yali. Her mouth widened in surprise.
Following that, the Ming Family stopped raising the price.
They could raise the price to 10 billion, but what if this guy did not keep his word? Wouldnât they lose their money then?
At this moment, a security guard walked to the Ming Family and whispered something into their ears.
After that, the Ming Family glared coldly and Chen Hao and sat down.
In the end, the medicinal material was bought with a price of 50 million.
Chen Haoâs total expenditure on the precious medicinal materials today amounted to a total of 1.5 billion, which was equivalent to his sisterâs daily pocket money.
Besides, money had lost all meaning to Chen Hao now. To him, it was only a dull string of numbers.
âChen Hao, Iâm looking forward to seeing how you clean up your mess!â
Li Yali had been staring at Chen Hao all this while.
The staff brought the packaged medicinal material along with the payment terminal to him.
Chen Hao took out his card and entered the password.
The next second, the staff nodded. âThank you, Sir. This medicinal material is yours!â
âWhat?!â
Li Yali was stupefied. Her eyes widened and she felt like she was dreaming.
âCongratulations, Sir. Youâve got all the medicinal materials you needed. Iâve asked my people to prepare dinner for you as a welcoming meal!â Yang Wei laughed heartily.
After that, Chen Hao stood up and nodded slightly at Li Yali before leaving with the medicinal materialsâ¦
âSir, this way!â
When they were out, Yang Wei invited Chen Hao into the car.
Suddenly, a team of bodyguards gathered in front of them. There were more than 20 bodyguards, and they were all glaring coldly at Chen Hao.
âWhat do you guys want?â Yang Wei shouted in a stern voice.
âCanât you see? Iâm afraid that I wonât be able to enjoy your welcoming meal tonight!â Chen Hao replied with a faint smile.
At this moment, the bodyguards stepped aside to create a path.
Ming Zhu, who had changed her clothes, walked down the path.
âItâs good that you understand the situation. If you give me the medicinal materials you bid today, perhaps I will allow you to survive!â Ming Zhu threatened in a cold voice.
âI spent money to buy these medicinal materials. I can give you the medicinal materials, but itâs only fair if you compensate me with something.â
Chen Hao planned to borrow the route map to the tomb that was used by the Ming Family to steal the jade charms previously.
âCompensation? Brat, allowing you to live is your compensation. Other than giving the medicinal materials to us, inform your family to bring us 2 billion as your ransom!â a bodyguard replied.
âYou guys are so unreasonable!â Chen Hao said as he smiled. âBut I like to deal with people like you!â
âIt so happens that I need to make a deal with the Ming Family. I can give the medicinal materials to you with the additional 2 billion, but I will take something from the Ming Family. If you donât have any objections, we can close the deal now!â Chen Hao was still smiling.
âAlright, I approve this deal. Give us the medicinal materials and 2 billion, and you can take whatever you want!â Ming Zhu crossed her arms and laughed.
âAre you not going to ask what I want?â Chen Hao asked.
âI said, give all of these to us and you can take whatever you want!â
âA verbal statement cannot be taken as proof. Yang Wei, bring me a paper and a pen!â Chen Hao instructed.
Yang Wei intended to stop Chen Hao but he had no idea how to, so he could only listen to Chen Haoâs instruction and bring him a paper and a pen.
Ming Zhu did not even read it and signed on it directly.
âGood. Iâll leave the thing that I want with you for now. Soon, I will come and retrieve it!â Chen Hao smiled.
âYouâre lucky that youâre tactful!â
âSir, youâve acted recklessly! Once these things are in the hands of the Ming Family, you will never get it back. On top of that, I know that you are extremely skillful, but the Ming Family has lots of experts as well. Previously, the Ming Family had asked me to prepare some medicinal materials for them and offered me an empty cheque. They said that the amount was up to me to fill in. However, they did not acknowledge it when the day came!â Yang Wei stamped his foot anxiously.
âThereâs nothing to worry about. Trust me!â Chen Hao patted Yang Weiâs shoulder.
