After serving three years in prison, he swept across the land upon his release.

In an Audi, Jiang Hanzhang sat in the back seat, next to Qin Wuchen, who had just gotten in. She had received a text message from Ding Weimeng half an hour earlier.

She rushed over immediately, and after personally taking Ding Weimeng to the hospital, she turned back to pick up Qin Wuchen.

"You...really went to find Ye San?" In the car, Jiang Hanzhang was still incredulous, unable to believe that Qin Wuchen had actually gone to find Ye San.

Ye San is a martial arts master at the fourth level, and most of his other followers are also martial artists. Not to mention the Jiang family wouldn't dare to touch him, even the Li family, the head of the four major families in Yunhai City, would have to be wary of him.

Nodding, Qin Wuchen said nonchalantly, "Of course, didn't you see? The Canglong Group has already moved out of the construction site."

"Your courage is truly extraordinary..." Jiang Hanzhang instinctively exclaimed in admiration.

"Hmm? Are you praising me? Thanks... wife..." Qin Wuchen smiled and said upon hearing this.

As agreed, Jiang Hanzhang is now indeed his real wife, so Qin Wuchen felt that calling her that was harmless.

Jiang Hanzhang's cheeks flushed, and he closed his eyes, trying to appear calm: "Hmm... don't push your luck. If it weren't for Miss Su from Xinghe Group being there, you wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily."

"what?"

Qin Wuchen's lips trembled slightly... Did Jiang Hanzhang mistakenly think that he got the land back because of Su Ningxue? That won't do. What if she reneges on her promise?

"Wait a minute," Qin Wuchen quickly said, "I took back the land with my own strength, you can't attribute the credit to someone else."

A thousand curses ran through Qin Wuchen's mind. He never expected that by taking the risk of losing control, he would end up benefiting someone else.

Jiang Hanzhang smiled slightly and patted Qin Wuchen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I understand a man's pride, I understand. I'm not breaking my promise."

"Really?!" Qin Wuchen's mouth dropped open in surprise when he heard Jiang Hanzhang mention keeping his promise.

He was also thinking that if that didn't work, he would contact Su Ningxue and ask her to explain for him.

"Of course..." Jiang Hanzhang's cheeks flushed, and he crossed his arms, pretending to be calm and composed. "I, Jiang Hanzhang, am not one to break my promises. However, the kind of thing you mentioned... I need to be mentally prepared and can't agree to it right away."

"It's a deal!" Qin Wuchen immediately agreed.

This was not a delaying tactic by Jiang Hanzhang. In fact, after waking up, she gradually calmed down and thought a lot.

First of all, her feelings for "Xuanjian" were one-sided and didn't count. She couldn't possibly cling to this unrealistic fantasy and spend her whole life alone in her empty room.

Then, in the hours after she regained consciousness, she reinvestigated Qin Wuchen's background, learned the reasons for his imprisonment, and realized that Qin Wuchen was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

Furthermore, after witnessing Qin Wuchen's abilities, he finally made up his mind.

As night fell, the skyscrapers outside the car window lit up one after another, creating a dazzling display of lights, though the scene was somewhat different from when we arrived.

"This isn't the way home," Qin Wuchen asked curiously, looking at the scenery outside the car. "Where are we going?"

Jiang Hanzhang looked at Qin Wuchen and smiled slightly: "Let me show you the world, the number one auction house in China... the Nine Dragons Club..."

"The Nine Dragons Society?" Qin Wuchen pondered. "Is this the Nine Dragons Society that my third master mentioned? I was thinking of contacting them later, but since this is the case, I might as well make the best of it..."

As he pondered, Qin Wuchen reached into his pocket and touched the Kowloon black gold card, its surface smooth and delicate to the touch.

Qin Wuchen's original plan was to first obtain relevant information from Gao Suli and then have the Kowloon Society investigate for him, so he did not contact the Kowloon Society immediately.

The Kowloon Society is the premier auction house in China. It holds auctions in every city at the prefecture level or above in China. This massive organization is also a top-tier intelligence agency.

The Audi drove into the most bustling commercial center of Yunhai City and stopped in front of a high-rise building called "Hongnan Building".

Qin Wuchen and Jiang Hanzhang got out of the car one after the other. Not far in front of them, there was a red carpet laid out towards the entrance of the building, where many reporters were gathered. The auction would be broadcast live.

"When we go inside, stay with me and don't get separated," Jiang Hanzhang whispered in Qin Wuchen's ear.

"certainly......"

Jiang Hanzhang took Qin Wuchen's arm, and the two had changed into presentable clothes beforehand. Jiang Hanzhang wore a white long dress embroidered with sparkling diamonds.

Qin Wuchen paired his outfit with a black suit, which complemented his tall and straight figure perfectly.

However, just as the two were about to enter the venue, a mocking voice came from behind: "Oh? Isn't this Gao's ex-convict? Haven't seen him for years, but he looks quite respectable now that he's dressed."

The one who spoke was a man in a red suit named Li Linzhou. He straightened his collar and walked to Jiang Hanzhang's side.

Behind him were a man and a woman.

"Hanzhang, why didn't you reply to my message? I told you, as long as you divorce this damned convict, I'll marry you right away!" Li Linzhou revealed a drooling expression, his voice soft and seductive.

He was about to touch Jiang Hanzhang's cheek when Jiang Hanzhang slapped him.

"How dare you!" Jiang Hanzhang roared. "Li Linzhou... Qin Wuchen is my husband now. Please show some respect."

Seeing Li Linzhou being beaten, the woman behind him couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward angrily, saying, "Jiang Hanzhang, how dare you hit Young Master Li? Young Master Li is giving you face! Do you really think this ex-convict is a treasure?"

"He's just a son-in-law who married into the family; does he really think he can become a phoenix just by climbing the social ladder?"

The woman looked disdainful, tenderly touching Li Linzhou's slapped hand, then glared fiercely at Jiang Hanzhang and Qin Wuchen.

"Hmph~ Ren Qiaofei, can you please stop projecting your dirty thoughts onto me? What you like, I might not like."

With a smirk, Jiang Hanzhang showed a look of disgust before pulling Qin Wuchen's hand and walking into the venue.

"You!" Ren Qiaofei tried to chase after him, but Li Linzhou grabbed her.

"Don't worry, this little girl will be mine sooner or later..." Li Linzhou looked at his slapped hand, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, sinister and cunning.

"She won't be laughing later..."

Li Linzhou waved to another man behind him, whispered a few words in his ear, and the man then left the scene.

"Young Master Li, what are you doing?" Ren Qiaofei asked curiously.

"Hmph~" Li Linzhou smiled slightly, "It's nothing. Isn't he a convict? I'm just sending him back to his old place."

Inside the venue.

Jiang Hanzhang angrily grabbed Qin Wuchen's hand and walked into the VIP-only passage, muttering to herself:

"That damned lecher! He's a creature who thinks only with his lower body. He didn't come when I was sick, but as soon as I recovered, he came running. Isn't he just after my beauty?"

"What a shameless guy!"

Jiang Hanzhang was still angry, while Qin Wuchen felt as if he had also been attacked, looking embarrassed. After a while, Jiang Hanzhang seemed to realize this and immediately turned around to explain:

"Oh, I wasn't insulting you. I know you're different from that guy surnamed Li. Don't worry, I will never betray our agreement."

"I know you're not insulting me..." Qin Wuchen scratched his head and chuckled dryly twice.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. We have important business to attend to today."

Jiang Hanzhang, arm in arm with Qin Wuchen, sat down in the VIP seats on the second floor of the auction house. Downstairs was a spacious hall with a booth specifically for auctioning various items, as well as many chairs for ordinary customers.

Many reporters were also present, and the entire auction process was broadcast live.

Qin Wuchen glanced around the auction house. It was luxurious and magnificent, truly deserving of the title of China's premier auction house.

The Kowloon Club Auction House is divided into five floors, each representing the status and position of the visitors; the higher the floor, the higher the status of the visitors.

The first floor is the general guest area, where most of the people sitting are onlookers or reporters, who are mostly there to watch the spectacle rather than to participate in the auction.

The second floor is the regular VIP area, where many famous and powerful people in Yunhai City sit.

The third floor is the Golden VIP area, where the four major families of Jiangcheng usually sit. However, in recent years, the Jiang family has declined and can no longer afford the membership fees.

Li Linzhou sat there, looking down at the scene with a smug expression. He slid his thumb across his neck and made a threatening gesture to Qin Wuchen downstairs.

The fourth floor, known as the Platinum VIP area, is completely empty. Generally speaking, only auctions that are significant enough to be recorded in Chinese history will have people here.

Those sitting here are either extremely wealthy and powerful families who can dominate a region, or martial arts masters who have reached the pinnacle of their craft.

The Su family, which owns the Xinghe Group, and the Ba family, which dominates the northern border, will be seated here.

On the fifth floor, there was only a chair carved with dragon patterns. No one knew who had reserved this seat for, because no one had ever seen it.

Therefore, it is called the "empty dragon throne".
