"What are you looking at?" Jiang Hanzhang asked Qin Wuchen, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Qin Wuchen stared at the "Void Dragon Throne" for a while, then glanced at Li Linzhou sitting on the fourth floor, and smiled slightly: "Hanzhang, would you like to go to the third or fourth floor?"

Jiang Hanzhang waved his hand, taking it as Qin Wuchen bragging: "Those seats are for VIPs. Originally, our Jiang family should have been seated on the third floor, but unfortunately we don't have the money. If you want to sit there, I'll try to take you next year."

"But I really can take you there!" Qin Wuchen said seriously, holding the black gold card in his pocket.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging to me. The auction is about to start, and we're here to do something important." Jiang Hanzhang sighed, still treating Qin Wuchen as if he were joking and ignoring him.

Click!Click!

At that moment, the lights in the venue dimmed instantly, and a male host in a suit walked to the front of the stage and announced the official start of the auction.

Qin Wuchen then picked up the list of items to be auctioned and began to look at it.

This auction is a medium-sized auction held in Yunhai City every three months. The Kowloon Society's auctions are divided into four levels: small, medium, large, and mega.

Mega auctions are the most prestigious and rarest type of auctions, occurring perhaps only once every ten years.

Looking at the dazzling array of items, Qin Wuchen quickly found a few that satisfied him.

A piece of resin from a 300-year-old oak tree, an essential oil extracted from a non-freezing herb grown in the extremely cold environment of the North, and refined over 20 years...

"These are all materials for making amulets and the 'Mystic Light Body Protection Array.' With the fifty million from Mom and the one hundred million from Miss Su, it's more than enough to buy all these things..."

Looking at the items up for auction, Qin Wuchen seemed to be deep in thought. He had offended the Xiao family, and in order to avoid bringing trouble upon his family, he had to make preparations as soon as possible.

In addition, there will be three "mystery items" at this auction, which is a consistent feature of the Kowloon Club auctions and is always the highlight of the auction.

Qin Wuchen was curious about what products Jiang Hanzhang wanted to buy this time. He asked him, but Jiang Hanzhang didn't tell him and just told him to wait and see.

On the other side, Li Linzhou sat upright on the third floor of the auction building, sometimes staring at the auction items downstairs, and sometimes glancing towards the second floor.

"Hmph~ Jiang Hanzhang, don't think I don't know why you're here." He rubbed his fingers together and smiled coldly.

Ren Qiaofei, who was beside him, had her arm around his, her red dress revealing a deep cleavage: "Young Master Li, you're only looking at Jiang Hanzhang and ignoring her..."

"Don't worry, once I marry her, you can be the concubine. I won't make you feel wronged." Li Linzhou patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Then Young Master Li, you'd better keep your word!"

"certainly......"

The auction went very smoothly, and Qin Wuchen successfully bid on the items he wanted, shrugging with satisfaction.

"Why did you buy these unwanted things?" Jiang Hanzhang asked curiously.

"It's a secret~" Qin Wuchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, putting his index finger to his lips in a gesture that said it was a secret.

"Heh, I don't want to know either." Jiang Hanzhang turned his head away, pretending to be uninterested.

As soon as the words were spoken, there were two more clicks, the lights dimmed and then slowly came back on, and a woman in a green dress with a curvaceous figure walked onto the auction stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said the curvaceous woman, "the next three items are the three most mysterious items in this Kowloon auction."

"First, let me introduce the first item up for auction..."

With a few clattering sounds, a small cart pushed by three people slowly drove in, attracting attention under the spotlight.

"The construction contract for... the Sihai Chamber of Commerce's 'Dica' amusement park! Starting bid: 30 million!"

The moment he said that, the room erupted in uproar.

It sounds unbelievable that the contract to build an amusement park project would be auctioned off for at least 30 million.

Building an amusement park is one thing, but having to pay for the contracting rights is another. Isn't that just a complete scam?

However, the people present did not think so.

"I'll offer 32 million!"

"I'll offer thirty-three million!"

"..."

Bidding poured in, because everyone understood that what appeared to be a contract for the amusement park was actually an entry ticket into the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in China, generates hundreds of billions in profits annually. Joining the chamber means gaining countless opportunities and wealth, making it a paradise that almost every businessperson dreams of.

Seeing this, Qin Wuchen understood and whispered in Jiang Hanzhang's ear, "You want to auction off the contracting rights for Dika Amusement Park, right?"

"You're quite smart..." Jiang Hanzhang nodded in agreement.

She then slowly raised her paddle, and when the bidding reached forty million, she bluntly shouted, "Fifty million!"

Everyone turned to look, and several people who were about to raise their signs to increase the price silently lowered them, causing a stir in the room.

"So extravagant? Who is this woman? I've never seen her before?"

"You don't know her? She's Jiang Hanzhang, who was known as 'Yunhai City's Number One Beauty' two years ago. I heard she just woke up today..."

"Really? She's really beautiful. Wait, who's that guy next to her? He looks so shabby."

"Him... he was the adopted son of the Gao family who was imprisoned three years ago. He was a useless person. He only got married into the Jiang family because he got a good deal. Otherwise, he would never have had a chance in this life."

"He's incredibly lucky. If he can marry her, why can't I?"

The discussion was lively. After a few seconds, the auctioneer waited and, seeing that no one was bidding, struck the gavel with a loud thud.

"Fifty million once!"

A few more seconds passed.

"Fifty million twice!"

Just when everyone thought Jiang Hanzhang was certain to win, on the third floor of the auction house, a numbered paddle was quietly raised, and a loud voice rang out:

"Sixty million!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area fell silent.

"A bid of 60 million? Who on earth is this person?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Linzhou with his legs crossed, glancing down at Jiang Hanzhang.

"Is this the young master of the Li family?! But didn't the Li family already join the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? What's the reason for this?" Several people in the crowd were very curious.

"Heh, you don't know this, do you? The young master of the Li family was famous for pursuing the young lady of the Jiang family two years ago. I suppose that's why you're here today..."

This guy really is here to cause trouble.

Looking at Li Linzhou upstairs, Jiang Hanzhang frowned slightly. Although she was a little surprised, it was still within her control.

"Sixty-one million!" Jiang Hanzhang raised the sign again.

But just a few seconds later, Li Linzhou upstairs raised his sign again: "Sixty-five million!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted into another uproar.

Jiang Hanzhang broke out in a cold sweat. She knew Li Linzhou was there to cause trouble, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Clenching his teeth, Jiang Hanzhang held up the sign again and said, "Sixty-six million!"

But a few seconds later, a loud sound came from upstairs again.

"Seventy million!"

The uproar turned into agitation. Many people around thought that the young master of the Li family had gone mad. Only a fool would spend 70 million to buy a pre-existing qualification of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

However, many people were amazed by Li Linzhou's generosity.

"He's gone mad! He's really gone mad! Is this young master of the Li family on drugs?"

"Seventy million, all for a beauty; after tonight, it'll probably become another legendary tale in Cloudsea City..."

Jiang Hanzhang was completely at a loss. She slumped onto the sofa behind her, her expression blank.

This is all the available funds the Jiang family has raised so far. There's no point in her adding any more, because even if she buys the contract, she won't have any extra funds to build the amusement park.

Just then, Jiang Hanzhang's phone rang.

Jiang Hanzhang curiously opened his phone and saw a message from Li Linzhou:

"I know the second branch of the Jiang family needs the qualifications of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to compete with the first branch of the Jiang family, which is about to form an alliance with the Xinghe Group. Now I'm only giving you one choice: divorce Qin Wuchen and marry me."

"So? You can only choose one: the Jiang family or Qin Wuchen..."

Li Linzhou, who was upstairs, stood up and revealed a wicked smile.
