Everyone present knew that Su Wanning and Murong Lan, two prominent businesswomen, had recently been locked in a fierce battle of wits.

Everyone is speculating what kind of sparks will fly this time.

Just then, the experienced host on stage brought down the gavel.

"Congratulations to Jinglan Company for winning the bid for this item at a price of 180 million."

If it weren't for what happened before, the price of this plot of land, which was worth at most 60 million, would have tripled, causing an uproar in the market.

But the scene was unusually quiet.

Suddenly, Murong Qingyang burst into laughter.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. My Alzheimer's just flared up again. Lanlan, did I do anything strange?"

Murong Lan looked at her third grandfather with a bewildered expression.

"Ah...you just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sha Qiang angrily interrupted, "Old man! You...you're shameless! Stealing other people's food!"

Murong Lan stood up abruptly and tried to push Sha Qiang, but failed and almost fell over herself.

"What kind of skill is it to bully an old person?"

Su Wanning was already in a state of extreme emotional turmoil, and she pushed Murong Lan so hard that he stumbled.

Why are you scaring Qiangzi?

Murong Lan shouted at the bodyguard behind him, "What are you waiting for? Can't you see that my third grandfather and I are being bullied?"

Just as the bodyguards were about to step forward, Murong Qingyang stopped them.

He smiled and bowed respectfully to Su Wanning and Sha Qiang.

"Gentlemen! I had a seizure just now and ate your food. You must compensate me."

Su Wanning never intended to eat that unappetizing-looking food, and naturally never thought about compensation.

Besides, how much could that piece of junk be worth?

We can't possibly make her, the president of a listed company, accept the small amount of money that an old man is paying in front of so many people, can we?

"Compensation? Our Su family certainly can't compare to the Murong family, but we won't covet such a paltry sum."

Murong Lan scoffed, saying, "Sure enough, that's the mindset of a small-minded family. Too narrow-minded. They can't even afford to look down on petty gains, let alone mountains of gold and silver!"

"You keep talking about the Su family? I advise you to cherish the time you can still be called 'CEO' while you still can. Let's see if you'll still be so arrogant when you're so poor you have to work as a hostess to support your family."

Su Wanning's lips twitched slightly, then her red lips trembled, and then the muscles of her entire face began to contort.

Sha Qiang was terrified and, forgetting to ask the old man for anything, rushed over to help Su Wanning.

"Sister-in-law, you...you're scaring me! What will I do if you die?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanning nearly went crazy with anger.

"Get out of my way! Are you and Chu Yang hoping I die? Do you want to inherit my estate?"

Those around were stunned by what they saw, not understanding why Su Wanning was so angry.

"Hiss... I heard that President Su married a former convict. I thought they were a perfect match, but now it seems there's more to the story."

"Hey, what do you know? A few days ago, Mr. Su's childhood sweetheart came back, and I heard that he's been spending every day with the beautiful Ms. Su, whispering sweet nothings to each other."

"Oh, that explains it. Maybe the ex-convict husband turned his love into hatred and decided to seize the family property."

The surrounding chatter made Su Wanning's condition worse and worse, to the point that she could no longer distinguish whether she was in reality or a dream.

Upon seeing this, Murong Qingyang knew that Su Wanning must also have suffered a soul injury, which was why a master had given her a Soul-Gathering Pill.

Strangely, Su Wanning seemed unaware of just how precious the Soul Condensing Pill was.

He tentatively asked, "Young lady, I see you seem interested in that piece of land. How about this, I'll give you the land as compensation, is that alright?"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone quickly scratched their ears, convinced they must be hallucinating.

Even the previously domineering Murong Lan almost fell to the ground.

"Third Grandfather, you...you're not really possessed by something evil, are you?"

Murong Qingyang quickly gave her a wink.

The two had always been in sync, and Murong Lan knew that something must have happened here. Could it be that the dark thing was very valuable?

With that thought, she regained her composure and calmly looked at Su Wanning.

"President Su! I don't know if you are satisfied with this apology?"

Perhaps it was because of her deep obsession with business that the words of the grandfather and grandson pulled Su Wanning back from the brink of collapse.

"make a deal!"

Her answer was resolute, showing no hesitation whatsoever regarding her previous remarks.

The formalities were completed quickly.

The Su Group acquired the land it desired without spending a single penny.

Before the auction ended, Murong Qingyang and his grandson Murong Lan had already left.

After getting into the car, Murong Lan looked at Murong Qingyang, whose face was beaming with joy, but was still full of doubts.

"Third Grandfather, what's going on? You're acting so strangely today. You're eating random things and you even gave the land I was going to use to attack the Su Group to Su Wanning."

Murong Qingyang has just arrived in the East Sea and is currently unaware of the feud between Murong Lan and Chu Yang.

Previously, Murong Lan had kept quiet about it so as not to worry her only kind grandfather.

He only considered Su Wanning to be Murong Lan's business rival.

After he recounted the story of the Soul-Gathering Pill, Murong Lan was so excited she almost jumped for joy.

She had never seen the Soul-Gathering Pill, but she knew that her third grandfather was only one Soul-Gathering Pill away from completely repairing his soul, and from then on he would never have to suffer the scorn of his family again.

Over the years, many people have complained because Murong Qingyang has spent too much of the family's money.

"This is wonderful! A piece of land has actually been exchanged for such a rare treasure! That stupid woman Su Wanning actually thought she had made a great deal. She was so happy she was almost going crazy just now."

Murong Qingyang's expression turned serious.

"That little girl seems to be in bad shape. I wonder who the expert who gave her the Soul-Gathering Pill was. Judging from her appearance, she has no idea how precious this pill is."

Upon hearing this, Murong Lan frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Could it be him?"

"Do you know who it is?" Murong Qingyang's eyes were filled with excitement.

Murong Lan's first thought was Chu Yang, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

"No, it can't be that damned guy! However, as far as I know, Master Hua, the renowned acupuncture master from Shanghai, is currently in Donghai, and his granddaughter, Hua Xiyue, seems to have some connection with Su Wanning's husband."

Murong Qingyang stroked his beard and nodded slightly, saying, "Once I recover my strength tonight, I will go and visit the little girl's husband."

Murong Lan was unwilling, but she couldn't go against her third grandfather's decision.

Murong Qingyang noticed that Murong seemed to have suddenly become unhappy.

"Lanlan, are you... fighting with that little girl for a husband?"

Murong Lan let out an "Ah," her expression turning utterly lifeless.

"Third Grandfather, please stop talking nonsense. I wish I could kill that guy! He...he..."

As Murong Lan spoke, tears of grievance welled up in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Su Wanning was in an extremely good mood. As soon as she left the auction house, she couldn't wait to call Liu Fangfei.

"Feifei! I have good news for you..."

After hearing this, Liu Fangfei excitedly kissed her phone several times.

I love you so much! I knew you were the best!

She has high emotional intelligence and is very good at praising people.

But she quickly calmed down.

"Wait a minute, what exactly did that old man eat that made him willing to compensate with a piece of land? And even a shrewd woman like Murong Lan didn't stop him?"

Su Wanning is now completely controlled by her emotions and is no longer able to make calm and rational analyses and judgments as she used to.

She said smugly, "He was suffering from dementia at the time, and he actually ate some disgusting thing that Chu Yang got from somewhere. Then, like he had lost his mind, he gave us the land as compensation."

"Ah...this..."

Liu Fangfei suddenly felt a buzzing in her head.
