Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

After completing the formalities, Young Master No. 999 searched around backstage and then around the lounge, but still couldn't find Ye Chen.

"Damn, you're pretty fast. Let's see where you can run to!"

Young Master No. 999 took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, did anyone just leave the venue?"

"Young Master Lin, someone has indeed left, dragging a suitcase and carrying a handbag!" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Where is he? Stop him!" Young Master No. 999 said coldly.

"We'll follow them as soon as they leave!"

"Damn it, you have to stop him! A bunch of good-for-nothings!" The young master, called Young Master Lin, cursed angrily and hung up the phone.

A burly man with a buzz cut and dressed in black looked at the disconnected call with a speechless expression: "Why the hell didn't you say so sooner?!"

"Boss, what did Young Master Lin say?" a dark-skinned man asked, leaning closer.

The burly man curled his lip: "Which direction did that guy who just left go? Take two of your men and stop him right now!"

"They went that way!" The dark-skinned man pointed in a direction.

"Okay, hurry up and go!" The burly man with the buzz cut waved his hand.

The dark-skinned man immediately called to the two men and quickly ran out.

The dark-skinned man led his men through two blocks, frowning and hands on his hips: "Damn it, where did he go? Was he a rabbit? I clearly saw him coming this way, and it was only a blink of an eye!"

The dark-skinned man took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, boss, the person... the person is missing!"

"Gone? How could they be gone? Didn't they just leave?" the burly man with the buzz cut asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, we've looked all over but haven't seen him!" The dark-skinned man spat and looked around again.

"Damn it, keep looking, damn it—" the burly man with the buzz cut cursed and hung up the phone.

How am I going to explain losing them to Young Master Lin?

The burly man with the buzz cut was annoyed, so he kicked the stone lion next to him, making the stone lion tremble.

That leg strength is clearly the result of training.

If that kick had landed on someone, it would probably have caused them to be kicked for at least three years.

A moment later, another person came out of the venue, carrying the same backpack as Ye Chen.

The burly man with the buzz cut glanced at it and hurriedly went to meet it.

The person who came out was none other than Young Master Lin, number 999.

"Young Master Lin!" The burly man with the buzz cut stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Take him to my car. I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Lin Shao said coldly.

"Uh, we're still looking for him. That guy ran pretty fast, and the brothers couldn't keep up!" The burly man with the buzz cut said, bowing.

"So the person ran away?" Lin Shao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The burly man with the buzz cut had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead; he looked quite nervous.

"We will do everything in our power to find them!"

"Trash!" Lin Shao cursed, and suddenly swept a whip kick across the burly man's body.

The burly man with the buzz cut was actually swept away.

That's right, it was swept away.

The burly man with the buzz cut was swept more than three meters away and crashed heavily to the ground. For a moment, he was unable to make a sound, only struggling in pain.

After a long while, the burly man with the buzz cut finally groaned and struggled to sit up sideways, his eyes filled with deep fear.

The power of that kick was unlike anything a rich young master like him could unleash.

Even professional boxers probably couldn't do that.

"I must find that person, no matter what it takes, do you understand?" Lin Shao said coldly.

"I understand, I understand!" the burly man with the buzz cut said through the pain.

"There's an old man with white hair, probably in his seventies, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Keep a close eye on him after he comes out. If you lose him too, you'll all be feeding the fish in the sea!"

Lin Shao spoke lightly, but the content of his words sent a chill down one's spine.

The burly man with the buzz cut swallowed hard. "I...I understand!"

He had no doubt that Young Master Lin would do such a thing; since he had said it, he would definitely do it.

This isn't just watching people; it's practically watching their own lives!

One wrong move and you could be buried with them!

"Everyone, pay close attention! Don't let a single fly escape!"

The burly man with the buzz cut called out to his brothers.

Lin Shao glanced at the exit of the venue and left directly.

People gradually walked out of the venue, after all, not everyone likes private leisure activities.

Of course, it's also possible that the project has ended.

The burly man with the buzz cut kept watch in secret; he really didn't trust anyone else with his fate.

A few minutes later, an elderly man with white hair walked out of the venue, but he stood at the door and showed no intention of leaving.

The old man took out his phone and made a call, then stood at the exit for a few more minutes, as if he was waiting for someone!

About two minutes later, three black cars drove up and stopped some distance away!

Because this is a pedestrian walkway, vehicles cannot enter.

The parking lot is a bit far away, so picking someone up requires walking there.

Seven or eight people got out of the car and ran quickly toward the exit of the auction.

The whole thing was quite a grand affair.

After all, he was carrying 12 billion worth of goods, so it's understandable that he was being cautious. Besides, he wasn't the only one who called for bodyguards or drivers.

As for why the Spirit Milk isn't taken directly? Who knows? Perhaps we need to study how to consume it properly, or maybe it requires a ritual.

Just like Ye Chen didn't directly take out the century-old wild ginseng and eat it.

Soon, the group surrounded the white-haired old man and led him away.

The burly man with the buzz cut in the shadows dialed Lin Shao's number to report the situation, and then quietly followed them with his men.

Just as the white-haired old man and his group of bodyguards were about to get into the car, a young man strolled over and blocked their way.

It was Lin Shao who stopped them.

He was alone, but his presence was more imposing than that of a group of bodyguards.

"Who are you? Get out of the way!" a bodyguard shouted.

Lin Shao didn't answer the bodyguard's question. Instead, he looked at the white-haired old man indifferently, as if looking at an ant: "Old man, interested in a chat?"

"Who are you?" The white-haired old man looked at Lin Shao with a deep gaze.

"You don't need to know who I am. Knowing won't do you any good!" Lin Shao chuckled.

The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke: "You're number 999?!"

Instead of answering directly, Lin Shao continued, "Hand over the thing. That stuff is useless to ordinary people like you. Keeping it will only bring trouble. I'm doing this for your own good!"

The white-haired old man took a deep breath and stared directly at Lin Shao: "An ordinary person? Are you trying to say how extraordinary you are? You wouldn't dare to rob someone in broad daylight, would you?"

Lin Shao shook his head. "You're joking. I'm a law-abiding citizen and I certainly wouldn't do such a thing, but others are another story."

"Others? You mean those who followed behind? Young man, you're still young, don't make a mistake. If you insist on going in there for a few years, I can grant your wish!"

The white-haired old man chuckled softly.
