After Feng Cai'er left, Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi started discussing the bid for Qingquan Stone's upspring.

After Su Yinxue and Yang Fei returned to Lanting Hotel, without a word, she transferred six million yuan to Yang Fei.

For Su Yinxue, thanks to Yang Fei, she could amazingly secure Xu Zhiqing to be the spokesperson for Yalan International.

Not to mention six million, even ten million would be worth it.

The six million transferred by Su Yinxue, plus Yang Fei's own three million.

And Sister Xueyi scraped together, managing to come up with one million.

Thus, the two of them had pooled together a full ten million, now having the qualifications to bid in the auction.

Lin Xueyi was somewhat worried, letting out a deep sigh.

"Our money just reaches ten million, I wonder if that's enough?"

"This morning I asked someone to check, and the number of people who registered to bid in the auction, there were quite seven or eight firms."

Yang Fei snickered twice, his expression unspeakably cunning.

He pulled out a check and waved it in front of Lin Xueyi.

"Sister Xueyi, look what this is?"

Lin Xueyi's eyes suddenly widened.

She saw clearly, it was actually a two-million-yuan check!

"You little bastard, where did you get two million?"

Lin Xueyi's eyes shone as she snatched the check from Yang Fei's hand, holding it close to her heart.

With this two million, the chance of success in the auction increased a lot.

Yang Fei recounted the events of the morning, spilling every detail.

Lin Xueyi's mouth fell open: "I've worked so hard running the hotel for so many years, yet I couldn't even scrape together one million."

"You make a bet with someone and earn two million? This is way too unfair."

Yang Fei strutted proudly, puffing his chest and sucking in his belly.

"Making money also depends on ability, oh, you haven't looked at what kind of class I have, what kind of demeanor, what charm..."

Lin Xueyi spat in disdain, then her brows lifted and eyes brightened as she leaned in and kissed Yang Fei on the cheek.

She giggled coquettishly, "Although you're a scoundrel, being able to come up with two million at this crucial moment deserves a reward from your sister."

Yang Fei patted his face, looking lecherously at Lin Xueyi.

"Sister Xueyi, isn't this reward a bit too light?"

"How about we go to your room, dig deeper? Get a bit more comprehensive?"

"Scram!"

Lin Xueyi spat at Yang Fei with a smile, but then she was once again immersed in thought.

"Now we have twelve million, with this amount of money, it should be enough, right?"

Yang Fei chuckled, a glint of sharp intent fleeting through his eyes.

He said lightly, "Sister Xueyi, don't worry, according to the actual assets of Qingquan Stone's upspring, the brand's value is definitely more than ten million."

"But I can guarantee, the closing price in the end will not exceed ten million."

"And, the most important point."

"Out of these seven or eight bidders, the ones who can actually participate in the auction won't exceed two or three, believe it or not?"

"Why?"

Lin Xueyi was somewhat astonished, her elegant and gentle face filled with a sense of bewilderment.

Yang Fei smiled mysteriously, lazily stretching his body.

"I won't tell you for now, just watch slowly, this auction is going to be very exciting."

"I guarantee that you'll be in for quite the eye-opener, and as long as you follow my plan, Qingquan Stone's upspring will definitely be ours."

Lin Xueyi looked at Yang Fei's sly expression, resembling a yellow weasel that had just stolen a chicken.

She suddenly laughed bitterly.

"That's right, when it comes to being cunning and shameless, who could compare to you? I better not worry unnecessarily."

Yang Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sister Xueyi, is this you praising me, or scolding me?"

"Scolding you!"

…

In the afternoon, Yang Fei and Sister Xueyi went to the Ginza Building auction house to sign the auction agreement and also paid a two million yuan deposit.

This also meant that Lanting Hotel was qualified to enter the auction site to participate in the bidding for Qingquan Stone's upspring.

The staff who received Yang Fei and Sister Xueyi

was a bespectacled, round-faced girl with a faint beauty mark on the corner of her left mouth.

She watched Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi's retreating figures, lost in thought with an ever-changing expression.

The round-faced girl glanced left and right, noticing that no one was paying attention to her.

She then took out her cell phone.

She took a photo of the auction agreement signed by Lin Xueyi and sent it out via WeChat.

Just as Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi stepped out of the Ginza Building, a shadow followed them nonchalantly.

Yang Fei looked back and sneered.

He took two steps back and positioned himself behind Lin Xueyi.

It was rare for Lin Xueyi to leave the hotel, and she was excitedly looking forward to going shopping.

Yang Fei leaned close to her ear and whispered a sentence.

Lin Xueyi immediately jumped with a start, "Really?"

Yang Fei nodded.

"This is the exciting plot I mentioned. We just prepared for the auction and got someone watching us already," he said.

"Hehe, I wonder if the person behind us is from Kong Erhu or Li Shun?"

Lin Xueyi turned pale with fear, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"You're still laughing. What do we do now? Should we call the police right away?"

Yang Fei shook his head and took Lin Xueyi's hand.

"We've already abided by the rules of the Mortal World," he said.

"Next, we need to follow the Law of the Underworld."

Lin Xueyi gripped Yang Fei's warm and broad palm.

For some reason, her wildly beating heart suddenly calmed down.

This damned kid always managed to reassure her at critical moments.

She asked earnestly, "What is the Underworld? What are the rules of the Underworld?"

Yang Fei glanced back at the persistent shadow behind them and smiled.

He said with a detached air, "A coin has two sides, a head and a tail."

"Similarly, this world is divided into the Mortal World and the Underworld," he explained.

"The Mortal World is the one familiar to ordinary people, where the law punishes the guilty, debtors pay their debts, and a good public order prevails."

"But the Underworld, it's filled with violence and illegality, where the Law of the Jungle, the survival of the fittest, prevails."

He gave a meaningful glance at the figure persistently following them.

"This Underworld that I'm talking about had a popular name in the past, called Jianghu," Yang Fei said.

"Jianghu?" Lin Xueyi murmured, her mind a whirl of emotions.

Yang Fei kept an eye on the person following them.

While talking, he took Lin Xueyi's hand and suddenly turned a corner into a narrow alley.

The alleyway was deep, with low walls on both sides made of red bricks.

The walls were covered with dense ivy.

Yang Fei's steps grew slower and slower.

The man behind seemed to understand Yang Fei's intentions and no longer hid his presence.

He brazenly followed behind Yang Fei.

After a few hundred meters, the noise of the city was almost inaudible.

The alley became gradually silent.

The man behind Yang Fei suddenly whistled sharply.

The piercing whistle echoed far and wide.

From the other end of the alley, someone else whistled back.

Then, from the other end of the alley, a person slowly approached.

He was like a towering iron tower, blocking the way forward.

The man blocking the way back had a face as stern as wrought iron and cold eyes.

He looked at Yang Fei and Su Yinxue with an indifferent expression.

"Buddy, you walk without watching where you're going and blocked someone's way. Someone asked me to relay a message," he said.

"Now you have two choices, the first one is you recognize your bad luck and withdraw from the Qingquan Stone auction."

"If you don't listen, then you'll be given a second choice," he continued.

"Withdraw from the auction just the same, but leave behind a leg, and in your next life, spend it in a wheelchair."

"Which will you choose?" he asked.
