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

What should I do? Joining the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is my only chance to turn things around. If I lose this opportunity, I will completely lose my qualification to compete for the position of Jiang family heir.

But Qin Wuchen has been kind to me, and I absolutely cannot betray our agreement.

Jiang Hanzhang was in great pain. Her brows were furrowed like a twisted rope, and her right hand, which was holding the phone, trembled violently.

It's just going back to the southwest to guard the tea plantation... It's not like I'm dead... At worst, I'll just give up my inheritance rights!

After a difficult internal struggle, Jiang Hanzhang finally made up his mind and immediately sent a message to reject Li Linzhou and denounce him as shameless.

But when she looked up, she saw Qin Wuchen smiling, looking down at her phone.

"So that's what this guy was planning..." Qin Wuchen patted her shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, leave it to me. I still have money."

Qin Wuchen reached out and took the bidding paddle from Jiang Hanzhang, then stood up to call out a price, but Jiang Hanzhang immediately stopped him.

"What do you want? This isn't a place for jokes!"

"Don't worry, wife, I know what I'm doing!" Qin Wuchen said confidently, with a calm and unhurried confidence that seemed to indicate that he was certain of success.

Jiang Hanzhang was momentarily dazed, staring blankly... Could this guy really have a way?

While she was still thinking, Qin Wuchen had already raised his sign and shouted, "Seventy-five million!"

The moment he spoke, everyone present was shocked and turned to look at him.

"Hey? Isn't this the Jiang family's son-in-law you were talking about? How dare he raise the price to seventy-five million?"

"I don't know either. This guy probably went crazy while he was in jail and wants to confront Young Master Li head-on."

"What an arrogant brat..."

"Bidder number 32 has bid 75 million! Is there anyone who bid higher?" The woman in the green dress shouted into the microphone on the auction stage.

Upstairs, Li Linzhou stood up angrily and looked down at Qin Wuchen from the railing. Qin Wuchen gave him a faint smile.

"A convict dares to talk back to me? Doesn't he know his own limitations?" Li Linzhou's lips twitched, revealing a smile.

He then held up the sign and shouted, "Eighty million!"

"Eighty million! Young Master Li offered eighty million! As expected of the Li family, they're so generous!"

"Yeah, what a feast for the eyes today!"

A gasp of amazement rose from downstairs; after all, the story of a gentleman spending lavishly to win a beauty's smile has been beloved since ancient times.

"Sigh..." Qin Wuchen sighed indifferently, "What's the point of all this?"

Just as he was about to raise his paddle again to increase the bid, Jiang Hanzhang quickly grabbed him: "Are you crazy? We're out of money! If we can't pay the Kowloon Society, the Jiang family will be blacklisted!"

Qin Wuchen remained calm and composed. He patted Jiang Hanzhang's hand and said gently, "Don't worry, wife. Trust me. I know what I'm doing and will never implicate the Jiang family."

"This isn't about implicating others, you..."

Just as Jiang Hanzhang was about to continue his persuasion, several onlookers downstairs shouted at Qin Wuchen:

"Hey! Jiang family son-in-law, why don't you dare raise the price? Are you out of money?"

"Or is it that your wife isn't giving you enough money?"

"Hahaha... If you don't have the ability, don't come to the Kowloon Society. You've ruined the reputation of your ancestors!"

"Who said I won't raise the price?" Before the crowd finished speaking, Qin Wuchen stepped forward to the fence and then raised his sign.

"I offer...one hundred million!"

what? !

The room fell silent. Everyone was stunned. Li Linzhou upstairs stared wide-eyed at Qin Wuchen in disbelief.

Jiang Hanzhang, standing to the side, was completely at a loss. Her eyes were filled with despair, and she collapsed onto the sofa behind her with a thud.

It's over...it's all over...

Just as she was feeling utterly disheartened, someone finally called out from downstairs:

"Hey! Host, this guy's making ridiculous bids! How could a son-in-law of the Jiang family possibly come up with 100 million?!"

"Get him out of here right now!"

Amidst everyone's doubts, the green-clad female host raised the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. All guests present are entitled to make a bid. If anyone cannot pay, the Kowloon Club will have its own punishment."

"Did you hear that? If you're so capable, why don't you also submit a bid?" Upon hearing this, Qin Wuchen on the second floor smiled slightly and called out to the people downstairs.

He then looked at Li Linzhou on the third floor, a smirk playing on his lips: "Hey? Li Linzhou, do you still have any money? Want me to lend you some?"

Qin Wuchen's face was full of arrogance, and he even couldn't help but yawn.

"If you're going to submit it, hurry up and don't waste everyone's time..."

Li Linzhou, on the third floor, was already furious. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, pounding the railing several times.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Qin Wuchen, you forced me to this...!"

He then gave a disdainful smile, raised his bid number, and shouted again, "I bid... 2 million!"

"oh--!!!"

After he finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations erupted around him, followed shortly by thunderous applause that continued unabated.

"As expected of the Li family, so grand and imposing!"

"A son-in-law who married into the family dares to compare himself to me? That's laughable!"

The applause lasted for about two minutes before it stopped.

Upstairs, Li Linzhou was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat. Two hundred million... At this moment, he had almost emptied his savings; this was his limit.

"You little brat...you dare to mess with me? You're asking for trouble..."

He glanced at Qin Wuchen, wanting to make a sarcastic remark, but before he could even utter a word, his eyes widened in surprise.

He saw Qin Wuchen slowly raise the number plate again.

"How is that possible? How could this guy still have money?"

Before Li Linzhou could figure it out, Qin Wuchen swiftly raised the number plate, a faint smile appearing on his lips:

"I...bid...one billion!"

The loud voice immediately filled the entire venue. Some people thought they were hallucinating or dreaming, and that they had never been to the auction house at all.

But the echo of "one billion" still resounded throughout the venue, and everyone had to believe their ears.

This sounded too absurd to believe, and half a minute later, the room remained completely silent.

Only the female host in the green dress reacted first; her trembling hands nearly dropped the microphone, and she stammered:

"Number 32...bids...one billion..."

"Is there any price higher than this?"

"..."

"One billion at a time!"

"..."

"Ten billion twice!"

"..."

"make a deal!"
