Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Beset by internal and external troubles, if internal troubles were to arise alongside external ones, the Huo family would instantly become a speck of dust in history.

Those that have disappeared from this world.

the next day.

Hei Xiazi entered the Chen family's house.

Zhang Qiling and his group had already arrived in Beijing, but when they heard that the New Moon Hotel was going to hold an auction and that Chen Yan was the initiator, Wu Xie and the others were persuaded to stop by Xie Yuchen.

Listen to what Chen Yan plans to say at the auction before making any decisions.

Zhang Rishan is already almost bald.

He never dreamed that Chen Yan would pull this stunt on him.

That's incredibly bold.

Compared to Chen Pi, Chen Pi wasn't even half as bold as Chen Yan.

For at least all these years, Chenpi has kept this news tightly under wraps and dared not let it out.

But how long has Chen Yan been back? Less than a year, and he dares to be so bold as to kick the table.

Zhang Rishan tried to contact Chen Pi, but could not get through.

He sent people to negotiate with the Chen family, but his men couldn't even get into the Chen family's house.

He went by himself, but still couldn't get into the Chen family's house.

Chen Yan did not see him, but simply told him, "Chairman Zhang, see you at the auction."

Zhang Rishan was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even get into the Chen family's house, let alone find Chen Yan to cover his mouth.

After Hei Xiazi arrived at the Chen family, Chen Yan did not see him.

It was just a matter of arranging for him to rest.

It was finally time for Chen Yan to go to the New Moon Hotel.

Hei Xiazi was led to the door by the waiter and saw Chen Yan, who was dressed in a black suit and still had that dissolute look.

They even seemed quite happy.

After getting into the car, Hei Xiazi glanced at Chen Yan and said, "Little Fourth Master, you've got some nerve."

"Scared?"

Chen Yan looked at Hei Xiazi with a smile, and Hei Xiazi smiled back: "What do I have to be afraid of?"

"If you're not afraid, why are you running away?"

Hei Xiazi chuckled awkwardly and simply said, "This play won't be easy for you to perform today, Little Fourth Master."

"Don't worry, although my old man isn't good at singing, I can."

Chen Yan's nonchalant demeanor puzzled Hei Xiazi. Where did Chen Yan get the confidence to be so sure that nothing would happen?

The car headed towards the Crescent Hotel.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Crescent Hotel, the parking lot was already full.

After getting out of the car, Hei Xiazi raised an eyebrow and said, "Looks like quite a few people have come."

Chen Yan got out of the car and said leisurely, "Of course, after all, immortality is a topic that Chinese people have pursued for thousands of years."

"Let's go."

Chen Yan walked in front, followed by Lao Jiu, Chen Haisheng, and Hei Xiazi.

The tiger didn't come; he guarded the house.

Upon entering the Crescent Moon Hotel, all eyes turned to Chen Yan in the lobby. Chen Yan calmly asked, "Where shall I sit?"

The servant was speechless. "Sir, where else do you want to sit? Why don't you just sit on the auction stage?"

Extending her hand, Tingnu lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Fourth Master, this way please."

The servant led Chen Yan to the Chen family's private room and then withdrew.

Chen Yan got up and went to the front seat, sitting down in the chair. The people downstairs whispered among themselves and occasionally glanced at the Chen family's private room on the second floor.

But Chen Yan pretended not to see it.

Hei Xiazi got up and came to Chen Yan's side, glancing down at him: "Wow, this is certainly lively."

next door.

Xie Yuchen, Wu Xie, Wang Yueban, and Zhang Qiling are all here.

Zhang Rishan was also sitting in a private room on the third floor.

He was prepared to interrupt and refute Chen Yan if he found anything wrong with what he said.

Although it's unclear how effective it will be.

However, this matter is now out of control.

Many members of the Wang family infiltrated the area. Members of the Zhang family were originally scheduled to come, but Zhang Longban forbade any members of the Hong Kong faction from leaving the house.

Therefore, no one from the Zhang family came.

None of the family members showed up.

soon.

The auction has begun.

The servant downstairs said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you all understand that the item we are auctioning today is a message, not an object."

"With each increase in price, the Chen family head would provide a clue."

"So everyone, the rule is that once the bell rings, the price increases by 100,000, with no upper limit, and the transaction is done on the spot."

Wishing you all the best in your auctions.

He then struck the gong in his hand.

The auction officially begins.

In order to record how much each person bid at this auction, Yin Nanfeng dispatched all his servants.

This auction wasn't one where only one person would know the answer after bidding up to the last bid.

Instead, everyone who pays the extra price has to pay.

Therefore, a large number of slaves are needed to remember how many times each person raises the price and how much they should pay.

Chen Yan pulled his chair forward, leaned on the edge of the armrest, looked down, and reached out his hand. Lao Jiu took out a microphone from his pocket and placed a megaphone at the very edge of the balcony.

In this way, Chen Yan wouldn't need to shout; as long as the people below were quiet, they would be able to hear what Chen Yan was saying.

Chen Yan's first question left everyone dumbfounded.

Chen Yan smiled and looked at everyone below, asking, "Ladies and gentlemen, before we discuss the auction details, I have a question for you: Do you believe that someone can infiltrate your life and become your friend, brother, family member, buddy, or anyone you know, and you wouldn't be able to detect it?"

What?

Everyone subconsciously glanced at the people around them.

Zhang Rishan, who was sitting in the private room on the third floor above Chen Yan, narrowed his eyes. He had just stood up to say something when Chen Yan, as if he knew Zhang Rishan was going to cause trouble, immediately raised his voice and said, "This story has to start with Zhang Dafoye of our Nine Gates."

"Chen Yan!"

Chen Yan pretended not to hear and said quickly, "Master Zhang possesses a special bloodline, as everyone should know. Chairman Zhang Rishan was Master Zhang's adjutant in the war back then, yet he is still so young."

"So, Zhang Dafoye can stay young forever."

Seeing Chen Yan's reckless attitude, Zhang Rishan panicked. He used one hand to brace himself, flipped over, and jumped down from the balcony of the third-floor private room, intending to enter Chen Yan's room.

But the moment Zhang Rishan jumped down, Lao Jiu swiftly made a move, pulling a stick from his lower back and swinging it at Zhang Rishan. To dodge, Zhang Rishan twisted his body and tried to grab the handrail next to him.

But Lao Jiu relentlessly pursued and killed him.

Left with no other option, Zhang Rishan turned around and went into the next private room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Qiling staring at him.

"Young clan leader..."

Zhang Rishan called out subconsciously, and then turned to go next door.
