My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

Manager Zhang of the auction house was hunched over with a forced smile, half of his body leaning in.

His gaze cautiously fell on Ye Xunhuan.

He had witnessed the entire chaotic fight that had just taken place in the hall.

The dozen or so professional assassins from the Hidden Pavilion were all taken down by this guy in less than a minute.

Even the snipers didn't get the better of them.

This isn't an ordinary person, this is a living Yama!

He dared not offend them, so he came here with a stiff upper lip.

"Sir..."

Manager Zhang smiled ingratiatingly and spoke politely, "Regarding the polar ice lotus you just photographed, what do you think of this necklace…?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xunhuan raised his chin without even turning his head and pointed directly at Lu Mingchen, who was cowering on the ground.

"Go find him."

Manager Zhang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lu Mingchen.

Lu Mingchen was also stunned. He clutched his severed hand, looked up, and asked blankly, "Huh—?"

"...Looking for me?"

"Otherwise what?"

Ye Xunhuan rolled his eyes.

"If it weren't for all the mess your Lu family caused, you'd be sleeping with your wife by now."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Lu Mingchen, his tone completely matter-of-fact:

"Feed? Give it to me."

Lu Mingchen was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his forehead. Looking at the outstretched hand, he was completely dumbfounded: "Take...take what, Mr. Ye?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Of course, it's those two rare and precious herbs you photographed before."

Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow. "What, is Young Master Lu going back on his word after taking the money?"

"Those two things, that old man from the Su family can use them."

"Hand it over obediently, and then settle Binglian's account."

"Let's settle half of what happened earlier."

"If you keep dawdling..."

Before he could finish speaking, he casually pressed his palm onto the solid wood armrest beside him.

"Click—"

He crushed the thick, solid wood handrail into pieces.

Lu Mingchen was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost peed himself.

He spent 15 million to buy those two century-old medicinal herbs, originally intending to give them to the president of the provincial chamber of commerce to build a relationship.

Now, let alone medicinal herbs, even our lives are in their hands.

He dared not utter a single word of dissent, nodding frantically as if pounding garlic, his voice cracking with pain:

"Here you go! I'll pay! I'll even pay for Binglian! I'll settle the bill!"

Manager Zhang watched in stunned silence, inwardly exclaiming, "Wow!"

Just moments ago, Young Master Lu was arrogant and domineering at the auction, bidding against others. Now, he's like an obedient grandson.

He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly ran to the backstage to get the two pre-packaged boxes of medicinal herbs, handed them over the POS machine, and respectfully presented them to Lu Mingchen.

Lu Mingchen gritted his teeth and swiped a credit card with his unbroken hand, which was trembling.

The Arctic Ice Lotus competed with Ye Xunhuan for 500 million, and with the two medicinal herbs added, the total came to nearly 600 million.

If he had known he would have to pay this money, he wouldn't have bothered bidding against Ye Xunhuan!

Lu Mingchen was now filled with deep regret.

His heart ached so much that his chest clenched, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face. He had to force a smile and hand over the box of herbs.

Ye Xunhuan casually took it, weighed it in his hand, and stuffed it directly into his coat pocket.

She didn't even glance at him, her tone indifferent: "Fine, you know what's good for you."

Ye Xunhuan stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his pants, and was about to kick Lu's middle leg to give the Lu family a lesson they would never forget.

Just then, his phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating wildly.

buzzing-

The shaking kept going on and on, like a death knell.

Ye Xunhuan frowned, took out his phone and saw that it was a call from a doctor from the provincial expert team.

He raised an eyebrow, answered the phone, and said in a somewhat casual tone, "Hello, who is this?"

On the other end of the phone, the doctor's voice was trembling with emotion, almost cracking with anxiety.

"Mr. Ye! Please come back quickly! Old Master Su... he's suddenly suffered cardiac arrest!"

"We've been trying to resuscitate him for almost ten minutes, but it's no use! Please come quickly! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"

"What?"

The smile on Ye Xunhuan's face vanished instantly.

His fingers tightened slightly around the phone, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes instantly darkened.

He had just personally treated Old Master Su's illness, and he came to the auction hoping to find these rare and precious herbs. Once he had them all, he could completely eradicate the poison from the old man's body.

Logically, they should be able to hold out for at least half a month.

How could my heart suddenly stop?

"Okay, I'll be right there."

He hung up the phone, turned around and walked out, his pace quickening considerably.

As he passed by Lu Mingchen, he paused for a moment and casually tossed out a sentence.

"I'll spare your life for now. I'll settle the score with you slowly after I'm done with this."

The moment he finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the private room, moving so fast that he was just a blur.

On the ground, Lu Mingchen stared at Ye Xunhuan's disappearing figure for a few seconds, then a venomous glint flashed in his eyes.

It would be better if old man Su were dead!

Once Ye Xunhuan arrived at the hospital, he immediately contacted his father, determined to spend whatever it took to bring over the top assassins from Youge!

He refused to believe that Ye Xunhuan, no matter how skilled he was, could defeat dozens or even hundreds of professional assassins.

He must repay today's grudge a hundredfold!

Meanwhile, in the auction hall, Su Qingyuan was anxiously standing on tiptoe, looking up at the second floor, tears still on her cheeks.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan come down the stairs, she quickly ran over and looked him up and down with her little face up.

"How are you? Are you alright? You scared me to death just now."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. With that lousy marksmanship, you think you can hit me?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm fine."

"The assassin was just too weak; I took him down in no time. It wasn't fun at all."

Ye Xunhuan grinned at her, revealing his sharp canine tooth.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, his movements a little clumsy yet tender.

"But..." Su Qingyuan bit her lip, her eyes red, still recovering from the life-or-death ordeal.

"There's no time to talk about that now."

Ye Xunhuan straightened his expression and his tone became more serious.

"The hospital called; your grandfather's heart has stopped. I have to get there right away."

"What?!"

Su Qingyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.

Her grandfather was the closest person to her in the world. If something happened to him, she really didn't know what to do.

"Don't panic."

Ye Xunhuan reached out and firmly supported her arm.

His tone was firm, carrying a reassuring power.

"With me here, the old man won't die."

"Come with me. We can talk on the way. Have you heard any other medications your father has taken recently, or any strangers he has met?"

He already had a vague suspicion in his mind.

He had said before that the poison in Old Master Su's body had been injected by someone over a long period of time.

The sudden outbreak must mean that someone took advantage of his absence to sabotage things again.

It's possible that the Lu family is behind this again.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xunhuan's eyes.

That's really great.

Those who messed with him dared to lay a hand on that old man from the Su family.

He remembered the Lu family, and the secluded pavilion hidden behind them.

The two rushed out of the auction hall. Shen Wenbai had already reacted and drove the van to the door to wait, and even thoughtfully opened the back door.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Su, get in the car quickly! I'll take you to the hospital!"

Ye Xunhuan helped Su Qingyuan into the car. "Drive faster, take a shortcut."

"good!"

Shen Wenbai responded and stepped on the gas, the car instantly shooting off and speeding through the night.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was extremely oppressive.

Su Qingyuan clenched her fingers tightly, her nails digging into her palms, tears streaming down her face, but she bit her lip so hard she refused to cry out.

"Hey? Why are you crying?"

Ye Xunhuan couldn't stand seeing women cry, especially women he found pleasing to the eye.

He patted his pocket, took out the last strawberry-flavored lollipop, and handed it to Su Qingyuan.

"Don't cry, have some candy. It's really sweet, it'll make you feel better."

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the lollipop in his hand, and then looking up at his serious expression, forgetting to shed tears.

What kind of time is this? It's a matter of life and death, and he's still thinking about giving her candy?

But somehow, seeing his nonchalant yet remarkably confident demeanor, her heart, which had been pounding in her throat, slowly began to calm down a little.

It seems that as long as this person is around, there's nothing that can't be solved.

Ye Xunhuan stuffed the candy into her hand, then leaned back in his chair, twirling the plastic candy stick he had been spinning for a while, his eyes slowly turning cold.

The Lu family.

A secluded pavilion.

I just wanted to play around with you guys and have some fun.

Now it seems that you yourselves were courting death.

Once the old man is rescued, he will not be a Ye if he does not turn the Lu family upside down and destroy Youge's hideout in Jiangcheng!

At this time.

In the hospital's emergency room, Grandpa Su's heart monitor had become a flat line.

The doctor took off his mask, shook his head at the nurse next to him, and sighed: "Prepare to notify the family, it's...beyond saving."
