After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 27 Ragged
As soon as Yan Yu uttered those words, the millions of viewers in the live stream lost their minds.

[Yes, yes, yes! I'll buy it no matter how expensive it is!]

[What kind of monster is this streamer?! She actually managed to subdue Yan Yu, even making him obediently take off his pajamas...]

[I don't care! Just because the streamer can talk to Yan Yu's husband, I'm going to become a fan! Waaaaah, Yan Yu's husband's intimate pajamas, I can't even imagine it! I'm getting a nosebleed!]

[Shut up, you wolves! Our divine little brother won't turn eighteen for another two months! Admire him from afar, but don't dare to desecrate him!]

[This was the first time I'd ever seen Yan Yu's husband smile so radiantly. The impact on a single, middle-aged woman like me was like being in the deepest hell—it'll crush me for life!]

……

Yan Yu left behind a remark that caused a huge uproar and then irresponsibly hung up the phone.

Jiang Shu stared at the fervor that had erupted on the screen because of a single nightgown, and expressionlessly silenced everyone.

imperial capital.

The night was not pleasant. A torrential downpour shrouded the entire city in a misty haze, and looking at it for too long could make one's mood gloomy.

Outside, torrential rain pounded against the glass, but inside the French windows, the boy's warm-colored attire dispelled the dampness of the room.

He hung up the call, looked down to unlock his phone, and his soft, slightly wavy hair obscured the light in his eyes.

The boy opened a private WeChat chat window, brought the phone close to his lips, and sent a voice message with a smile:
"Suddenly I remembered that I also have a pair of pajamas that I just changed out of. I can give them to my sister as an apology to make up for not being able to take a photo with 'unrelated bystanders' or have dinner with them..."

After speaking, the boy put away his phone and then asked his manager curiously:

"If it were my unwashed pajamas, could I sell them for more than Li Yubai's?"

The agent replied with a forced smile, "At least a third of your millions of fans will snatch it away and do unspeakable things—are you sure you want to sell it?"

The boy, whose thoughts were still relatively pure, rarely showed such a dark expression...

Country M.

In the villa garden, FY's young master wasted several beautiful roses at his feet.

Then, he looked at the old butler standing guard to the side and said, "I want to go out."

The old butler smiled indulgently: "Master said that as long as you don't leave the villa area, you can do whatever you want—the main problem is that you and that Li guy from China have been fighting so fiercely that many unscrupulous people have been affected. Master is using the pretext of confinement to protect you."

FY's heir lowered his head and remained silent, only turning his phone, which was still live-streaming, around in circles, his mood noticeably somber.

The old butler started coaxing again: "Young master, if you're really bored, have the bodyguards accompany you to stroll around the shallow waters around the villa, or climb the mountains and forests in the villa area. I'll also arrange for someone to build a commercial street for you, which will be almost the same as going out..."

In the live stream on the phone, Yan Yu's sticky comment came on: "I also have a set of pajamas I just changed out of..."

FY's young master beckoned to the butler: "Go and prepare a hundred sets of pajamas for me—each one must be more expensive and lighter than Li Yubai's."

The old butler was a little confused: "Why do you need so many pajamas?"

The young master of FY naturally had no need to have a heart-to-heart talk with a butler.

Only after the old butler personally took charge of the arrangements did he slightly close his peach blossom eyes, muttering to himself almost through gritted teeth:

"I want her to take off my clothes, piece by piece, herself..."

Puppet Man Livestream Room.

Once the controversy surrounding Yan Yu's pajamas had subsided, Jiang Shu finally had her staff upload the ticket link:

"Babies, after a few minutes of calming down, let's get down to business—Yan Yu's concert tickets, prime seats—even the cheapest seats on the market cost 300,000, but I'm pricing them at 500,000. Not expensive, right? And the twelve most collectible Yan Yu background images, unique and unavailable anywhere else! Someone just said they couldn't even buy them for 300,000! My price is 500,000, is that expensive or not?!"

Not expensive! Not expensive!

[Although I think it's expensive, Yan Yu is my destiny! I'd risk my life for her, let alone a little extra money! Please, streamer, stop dawdling and just send the link!]

Jiang Shu cleared her throat: "Assistant Yang! Tell me loudly, what's the market price for the song that Yan Yu personally wrote?"

Assistant Yang readily agreed: "Produced by Yan Yu, eight million for one song!" "Eight million!" Jiang Shu slammed her hand on the table! "Did you hear that, babies! Eight million! Eight million for a song personally written by Yan Yu, eight million to keep you on the charts for life, enjoying the envious gaze of millions! It could even be your stepping stone into the entertainment industry! Babies! Are you excited?"

Stop talking! I'm so smitten!

[Quickly tell us the price! We, the Little Feathers, have been sharpening our knives for ages! As die-hard fans of Yan Yu, we absolutely have to support them this time!]

Jiang Shu paused for two seconds, considering the price in her mind:
"Babies! A concert ticket is 500,000! A set of autographed commemorative photos is 150,000! One song! 8 million! How much is that in total? Yes, 8,650,000!"

[Wow—that's expensive!]

[I don't think it's expensive, I just don't have that much money, sob sob!]

“Some people say it’s expensive.” Jiang Shu tapped the table. “Expensive? Is it expensive? You could spend eight million outside and ask Yan Yu to write a song and he’d even glance at you? Can you buy a prime seat ticket outside? As far as I know, prime seats are reserved for big shots and aren’t sold to the public at all! Now, does anyone still say it’s expensive?”

Assistant Yang chimed in, "Yan Yu has only ever signed one commemorative photo album since his debut, a total of 80 sets, and nobody's willing to put them up for sale. The set you have here is the one Yan Yu himself collected—something imbued with Yan Yu's aura. At a mere 150,000, you're offering it at a rock-bottom price! As for songwriting… Yan Yu stopped writing songs for anyone a year ago! Even the major record companies couldn't persuade him! Today, you're not selling songs for 8 million, you're offering a super-sized benefit that millions of people would kill for!"

Jiang Shu gave Assistant Yang an approving look.

Then, with a hint of sarcasm, he asked, "Now, does anyone still say that my price of 8.65 million is too high?"

Assistant Yang chimed in from the sidelines: "It's not expensive. If you had continued with the auction format, it would have been more expensive than the boss's shirt! You're so considerate of your fans, setting the lowest price right away..."

Jiang Shu was very satisfied with Assistant Yang's ability to play the straight man: "My darlings, if I don't spoil them, who will? The auction is an opportunity for the top heiresses, while the regular bidding mode is a perk for the other darlings... When it comes to spoiling fans, you have to treat everyone equally!"

[What the hell?! You're so mean, streamer!]

I initially thought it was expensive! But after my assistant said that… I actually think it's cheap!

[We are Xingteng Brokerage Company! Host, please release the link quickly! Hundreds of our employees are waiting in the live stream to grab a spot; we refuse to believe we won't!]

[So expensive! But I really want one, what should I do!]

Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Shu clapped her hands: "Staff, put up the link! 8.65 million, it's time to test your speed! Come on, get ready! Let's see which lucky person is today!"

The link connects instantly.

Instant gray.

"Alright! Congratulations to the lucky winner who got the ticket! A staff member will contact you shortly. You can tell them your song request, and your exclusive song will be released within three months!"

Jiang Shu finished speaking in one breath, then turned to Assistant Yang and said, "Next item, let's go!"

Assistant Yang skillfully drew another box randomly.

To his relief, this time the object inside was something he didn't recognize, a broken and tattered thing.

Jiang wouldn't feel a shred of heart if he sold this for 9.9 yuan.

Jiang Shu took out the old trinkets from the box and examined them for a while: "This looks like... a cup?"

It was a rather dirty cup, its original color unrecognizable, with many dents and pits covered in dried black mud. Jiang Shu wanted to say something complimentary, but didn't know how.

Jiang Shu silently complained about the unkempt cat, arranged the tattered trinkets in the high-definition position of the camera, and cleared her throat:

"Hey everyone! This thing in the streamer's hand may look worthless, but it's definitely not low-end! You all know FY, right? The world's number one conglomerate, you've all heard of their famous heir, right? This inconspicuous little gadget in front of you is something he played with when he was a kid!"

[...The streamer is really bold, even trying to ride on that person's popularity.]

[Host, is it really okay for you to say that? I still want you to be alive and well, selling Yan Yu's private collection of items...]

I really want to say something, but I don't dare, haha!

……

Jiang Shu slightly bent her fingers, pondered for a moment, and tapped the table twice:

"Babies! The things that FY's young master can play with are definitely not ordinary! Everyone knows that young master only wants the best, so what exactly are these things worth today? I'm just as curious as you all! Come on, let's invite the appraisal team!"
