Chapter 71: Making Wedding Dresses for Others

After the Auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the audience immediately became noisy, with a flurry of discussions.

“I know about the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community. The location is excellent, perfect for building a villa area. Guan Dongping has already invested over a billion chinese yuan there. To start the auction at 100 million chinese yuan is simply too cheap…”

“Cheapness certainly has its reasons. Do you dare to buy it? You only see the cheapness, but do you know that place is very evil now? Many people have died there consecutively…”

“Yes, that place is too terrifying now. Even if you buy it, you can’t sell a single house. What’s the use of it being cheap then? Are you going to live in it yourself?”

“You’re thinking too much. I heard that place is so evil now that even construction workers don’t dare to go in. It can’t be completed, and you probably wouldn’t dare to live there yourself…”

Everyone discussed heatedly, but no one came forward to bid, not even the reserve price.

When Ye Bufan first saw the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community being auctioned, he didn't have any thoughts because he didn't have that much money then.

But now he has over 300 million chinese yuan in his pocket, so it’s naturally different from before. As long as he buys this community, it will immediately yield a profit of more than ten times.

Of course, he wouldn't let go of such a good deal. Whether it's developing Chinese medicine or his future Cultivation, it all needs money as support.

However, he didn't rush to bid. He was waiting for the first person to make a bid.

It was clear that someone was playing tricks with the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community, and the person who steps out to take over is likely the one behind the tricks. Once he takes over this community, he must find out who that person is.

After waiting for a long time, not a single person participated in the bidding. The Auctioneer became a bit anxious. After all, this was an auction for a large commodity worth over 100 million chinese yuan, and she didn't want it to go unsold.

She said, “Dear friends, what are you still hesitating about? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For 100 million chinese yuan, you can own a super luxury community. This is absolutely a profitable business with huge returns. Opportunity knocks but once, and if missed, it will not come again…”

But no matter how she promoted and encouraged, the people in the audience remained unmoved. After all, in high society, the matter of the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community had already spread far and wide.

Many people were tempted, but not a single one had the courage to take over.

At this moment, a Middle-aged Man stood up, cupped his hands to the audience, and said, “Dear friends, I am Guan Dongping. The Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community was built by me.

I, Guan, can pat my chest and guarantee to everyone (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) that the construction quality of this community has no problems whatsoever. Moreover, the initial investment has already cost over a billion chinese yuan. No matter who buys it, it will only be a profit, not a loss.

If it weren’t for the current capital chain breaking, making it impossible to sustain, I wouldn’t be willing to put it up for auction. No matter who among you buys the community, it will be helping me, Guan, a great favor. I am extremely grateful!”

Ye Bufan sized up Guan Dongping. He was a Middle-aged Man in his forties, without the arrogance and ostentation of other wealthy individuals. On the contrary, he had a sincere face.

His words at this moment were earnest, and his expression was anxious, clearly indicating he was eager to sell this community.

Although many people sympathized with Guan Dongping, sympathy is one thing in business, and profit is another. That community would be a dead loss if bought, so no one would make a move.

Just when everyone thought no one would buy it, and the Auctioneer was about to announce that it had gone unsold, a voice suddenly said, “Since Boss Guan has encountered difficulties, then my Luo family will help out.

After all, everyone encounters difficulties, and more friends mean more opportunities.”

The speaker was Luo Wentao. He raised his bidding paddle and called out, “I bid 100 million chinese yuan.”

“Luo Da Shao is such a good person! At the critical moment, he still stepped forward to help…”

“Righteous! Luo Young Master is truly righteous in his actions. If he didn’t step forward, Guan Dongping definitely wouldn’t be able to sell it…”

“What do you know? The Luo family has Great Master Xuanji backing them. He has the strength to help. I also want to help, but do I have that courage…”

Seeing that someone finally participated in the bidding, Guan Dongping said gratefully, “Luo Da Shao, I, Guan, thank you here!”

Luo Wentao waved his hand and said, “Everyone is in the same circle, helping out with a small favor is nothing.”

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. He had long suspected that the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community was related to Great Master Xuanji. Now that Luo Wentao had stepped forward to take over, this speculation was basically confirmed.

Connecting the dots of the entire situation, it was easy to see the underlying scheme.

First, Great Master Xuanji threatened Guan Dongping when he took over the community. Then, when the other party had almost finished building and invested almost all their money, they set up a Profound Yin Killing Array there.

Making the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community a dead zone that no one dared to enter, so they could openly swoop in and take advantage.

The subsequent events are easy to guess. Great Master Xuanji would definitely use his influence to eliminate the negative effects and restore the sales of the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page).

By then, the Luo family would only invest a small amount of money but would make a huge profit. All of Guan Dongping's previous investments and efforts would be for their benefit.

It's just a pity that only he could see through all of this. At this moment, Guan Dongping was still weeping with gratitude.

Seeing that someone finally stepped forward to take over, the Auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, raised her auction hammer, and called out, “Mr. Luo bids 100 million chinese yuan! Is there anyone else who wants to bid…?”

While she said this, she had already determined in her heart that no one else would bid. Apart from the Luo family, who else would dare to take over this utterly evil community?

Others also thought the same. Luo Wentao made a move because he had Great Master Xuanji backing him. They, however, had no powerful backing.

“100 million chinese yuan, going once! 100 million chinese yuan, going twice…!”

Just as the Auctioneer was about to strike the hammer to finalize the deal, a barely perceptible smirk appeared on Luo Wentao’s lips. And at that moment, Ye Bufan raised his paddle: “I bid 150 million!”

Qin Chuchu sat beside him, secretly calculating how to persuade Ye Bufan to give that small bottle to Great Master Xuanji later.

At this moment, seeing him bidding for this property again, she said in surprise, “Xiao Fan, what are you doing? This property is very evil. Why are you bidding for it?”

Everyone else was also quite surprised, not expecting anyone to dare to bid against Luo Da Shao for this property. When they saw it was Ye Bufan, the venue immediately became lively again.

“Who exactly is this Young man? He’s repeatedly going against Luo Da Shao. What does he want to do?”

“Is he trying to pick a fight? But there’s no such way to pick a fight. He’s bidding 150 million chinese yuan right off the bat. Even if you have money, you can’t spend it like that.”

Luo Wentao’s expression instantly darkened. This guy just snatched away something Great Master Xuanji wanted, and now he’s bidding for this property. It seems he’s determined to fight him to the end.

He turned to look at Ye Bufan and said, “What exactly do you want to do?”

Ye Bufan said with a relaxed expression, “This is an auction. Of course, I’m participating in the bidding. Are you saying Luo Da Shao doesn’t allow others to bid?”

Luo Wentao suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, “Do you know what’s going on with the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community? Do you think anyone can take over this property?

I’ll give you a chance. Withdraw your last bid, otherwise, it’ll be useless even if you win it. By then, our Luo family won’t be kind enough to step in and take over.”
