148: Chapter 148 Song Zhongcheng!
At that moment, room number 4 bid 75 million again.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to speak, suddenly, the door to the VIP room was kicked open.
A man with a sinister face walked in.
“You must be Li De’an, I am from Mr.
Song Zhongcheng’s team!”
Never heard of him!” Li De’an shook his head.
“You might not have heard of Mr.
Song, but you cannot possibly be unaware of Governor Liu of the provincial city, can you?”
“Governor Liu?” Li De’an’s expression changed.
This was one of the big shots in the Qinzhou area.
Seeing Li De’an’s reaction, the man looked arrogant.
Song is one of Governor Liu’s men.
Governor Liu is interested in this item.
If you are wise, give up; otherwise, offending Governor Liu will leave you unable to escape the consequences.”
Li De’an’s expression suddenly turned ugly upon hearing this.
Normally, Li De’an would never offend Governor Liu, but today, Zhou Yu needed the Seven-Colored Heart-connecting Grass to save a life.
At that moment, Zhou Yu spoke up.
“I don’t care whose dog you are, get out now!”
The man’s face darkened as he looked at Zhou Yu.
“I said get out, or it’s going to get ugly for you.”
“You’re courting death!”
The man was furiously angry, charging directly at Zhou Yu, slapping him across the face.
Clearly, he didn’t take Zhou Yu seriously and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, and in an instant, he grabbed the man’s wrist.
Before the man could react, Zhou Yu had already broken his wrist.
The man screamed in pain, roaring angrily.
“How dare you touch me!”
“You asked for it by coming here.”
Just as Zhou Yu was about to make a deadly move, Li De’an suddenly spoke up:
“Zhou Yu, let it go, let him go.”
Zhou Yu realized that Li De’an was still very wary of this man, or more accurately, of Governor Liu whom the man mentioned.
He let go of the man’s hand.
Li De’an said coldly, “Now get out!”
With that, the man glared hatefully at them both.
“Li De’an, you’ve got guts!”
With that, he fled in a disheveled state.
After the man had left, Zhou Yu asked, “Elder Li, who exactly is this Governor Liu?”
Li De’an sighed, “Zhou Yu, Governor Liu is one of the few top figures in the provincial capital.
We should avoid making enemies if possible.
We are just bidding fairly, so he probably won’t make things too difficult for us, but if it involves manslaughter, that’s another story.”
A gleam flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
“Alright, I’ll take your advice, Elder Li.”
Meanwhile, in room number 4, Song Zhongcheng saw his subordinate run back disheveled and immediately snapped.
The subordinate, full of resentment, exaggerated the story a bit.
“Li De’an doesn’t take Governor Liu seriously at all.
He publicly insulted Governor Liu, said that he was determined to get the Seven-Colored Heart-connecting Grass, and that even if Governor Liu himself showed up, he would have to leave.”
Song Zhongcheng slammed the table.
“Li De’an has some nerve.”
The subordinate quickly added:
Song, Li De’an relies on his reputation as the Divine Doctor and doesn’t take Governor Liu seriously.
What should we do now?”
Song Zhongcheng said coldly:
“Since Li De’an is seeking death, let’s not disappoint him.
I’ll make sure he can buy it but won’t live to own it.”
Song, that old goat Li De’an has a young guy with him, a martial arts master.
Even I’m no match for him.
It might be difficult for us to do anything to them right now.”
Song Zhongcheng sneered.
“What martial arts master, I’ll have Elder Yang take action, and we’ll see how many lives he has.”
The subordinate said excitedly:
“With Elder Yang stepping in, there’ll be no problem.”
Eventually, the Seven-Colored Heart-connecting Grass was knocked down to Zhou Yu for 78 million.
Zhou Yu paid with the one billion Xu Zongnian had given him.
After paying, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but complain:
“I thought a billion was a lot of money, but it turns out, it’s gone in the blink of an eye!
Money really doesn’t last.”
Hearing Zhou Yu’s muttering, Shuangshuang chuckled.
Want me to lend you some?”
Zhou Yu looked surprised: “Are you rich?”
Shuangshuang crossed her arms, proudly stating: “Naturally, what belongs to my grandfather is mine.”
Zhou Yu gave a bitter smile.
How could Bencao Tang lack money?
As they jokingly conversed, Jiang Rong spoke up from the auction stage:
“Next, we have the final item of this auction, everyone please look.”
As the ceremonial hostess brought the box up, everyone’s gaze instantly converged on it.
Zhou Yu also glanced over, but that one look was enough to make him unable to take his eyes off it.
