Lu Tang walked in with her bag. She was wearing a black halter dress and a black coat, showing her elegance.

Her face was very pale after having her blood drawn. In order to make herself look less haggard, she put on heavy makeup today.

A touch of rosy red lips is the finishing touch, and the whole person looks like a noble red rose.

After entering and taking his seat, Lu Tang scanned the entire audience.

All the people at the auction today came for this house. They are either rich or noble.

Suddenly, Lu Tang felt panicked, and even though he had 40 million, he still felt unsure.

The lights in the hall dimmed and the host took the stage with the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone. You've all come here for this villa. I'm sure you've all heard about it in advance, so I don't need to introduce it in detail."

"Then I won't waste any more time. Let me introduce the bidding model this time. The starting price is 30 million, and the increment starts at 500,000."

Suddenly, there was a sigh in the venue.

Even Lu Tang was shocked.

This is just a small villa of less than 200 square meters, and it is not worth 30 million at all.

Even the host looked a little panicked. It would be embarrassing if no one bid.

But facts told him that he was worrying too much.

Everything tonight is under Lu Cheng's control.

"I declare that this auction officially begins!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone holding up a sign.

Lu Tang was about to raise the sign in her hand, but the woman sitting in front of her raised it before her.

"Thirty-one million."

That’s right, it was Liu Ruo. Liu Ruo’s seat was right in front of her.

Lu Tang followed closely behind: "Thirty-two million."

Before she dropped the sign in her hand, Liu Ruo turned her head and met her eyes.

Liu Ruo's eyes were complicated, filled with confusion, bewilderment, and a hint of unspeakable pain.

Her hand was ready to raise the price, but when she saw Lu Tang, she dropped it instantly.

Lu Tang frowned, not understanding what she meant.

"Thirty-five million."

"Thirty-six million."

"Thirty-nine million..."

Gradually, several voices were raised. Lu Tang didn't want to give them a chance, so he directly raised the price to 45 million.

Although it has exceeded the budget, she is willing to do so if the five million can allow her to decisively buy the house.

"Forty-five million, that's crazy! You could buy several houses in the Third Ring Road with that much money."

"Even rich people wouldn't dare spend money like this."

Lu Tang lowered his eyes, his attention always focused on the hammer in the hands of the host on the stage.

"Forty-five million at a time!"

"Forty-five million twice!"

Just as she was about to buy the house, a voice came from the corner.

"Forty-five and a half million."

The man's voice was so soft that if he hadn't been holding a sign, the host wouldn't have noticed someone raising the price.

A feeling of panic surged from the bottom of his heart, and Lu Tang's palms were covered with cold sweat.

She quickly followed up with the price: "Forty-six million."

Before she even put down her sign, the man followed her and said, "Forty-six and a half million."

The man chased Lu Tang to raise the price, but it wasn't much, just 500,000.

After raising the price several times, not only Lu Tang but others also realized that the man did it on purpose.

Lu Tang's heart was already in a mess, because it was not worth losing this house for a mere 500,000 yuan.

But the pile of half a million was no longer under Lu Tang's control.

She had worked hard to scrape together the 40 million, not to mention the extra money.

"Ms. Lu, would you like to increase the price?"

The man stood up from his seat and asked in front of everyone.

Lu Tang turned around and looked back, meeting the man's provocative gaze.

Suddenly, the temperature in the hall was lowered by the two of them. Even the host on the stage held his breath and moved the microphone aside.

Now that it had come to this, she didn't hide it anymore: "What's your expected price?"

The man smiled and said, "My expected price is 70 million."

The hall was instantly boiling.

"Seventy million! That's crazy! Two houses like that aren't worth seventy million!"

"You're asking for too much! Isn't that just malicious bidding? Can you come up with 70 million yourself?"

"Aren't you clearly bullying the little girl? That's enough, let's be merciful!"

Lu Tang's expression was serious. She was certain that this person was sent by Lu Cheng.

As Lu Cheng's daughter, she knows him best.

70 million, Lu Cheng is betting that she will never let go.

Of course, he won the bet.

"it is good."

Lu Tang raised the sign in his hand: "70 million."

As for the other 30 million, she had it, but she saved this money to return to Ji Shengzhou.

But she has to choose between the house and escaping from Ji Shengzhou.

"Seventy million once!"

"Seventy million twice!"

"Seventy million three times!"

"make a deal!"

With the final word, Lu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Her body slumped in the seat, and her eyes met with Liu Ruo, who had turned her head and was looking at her.

Ever since Lu Tang stood up, Liu Ruo's eyes have been on her.

Her eyes were full of heartache and pity, and she even wanted to reach out and help Lu Tang.

After the auction ended, the staff called Lu Tang away directly.

They have to go through procedures, pay taxes, and sign contracts.

In the backstage office, Lu Cheng sat on the sofa with a smug look on his face. Li Qin sat next to him, holding his arm.

"I told you, how could our Xiaotang be without money? If you squeeze a sponge, water will always come out. Xiaotang can always squeeze out some money too." Lu Cheng smiled with his mouth full of yellow teeth.

Lu Tang's eyes were cold, and he didn't want to even glance at him.

She quickly signed her name on the contract, and the moment she put pen to paper, her heart finally settled down.

Whether it was the Lu company or the Lu family, she relied on her own strength to get it back.

If her mother knew this, she would definitely be happy for her.

Being ignored like this, Lu Cheng must be embarrassed.

Seeing that Lu Tang was about to leave after signing, he walked to the door in two or three steps and locked it directly.

"What are you doing?" Lu Tang took a few steps back cautiously, keeping a distance from him.

Lu Cheng crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Nothing to do. I'm going to Europe soon, and it's time for us to have a good talk as father and daughter."

Lu Tang had his back to him, his eyes full of disgust for him: "There's nothing to say between you and me."

"I did. Remember that room I didn't let you into?"

Before Lu Cheng could finish his words, Lu Tang turned around and became excited: "What's wrong with that room? What's in it?"

Seeing her reaction, Lu Cheng curled his lips into a playful smile.

"Do you know why I didn't go looking for your mother after she disappeared?"

"Do you want to know everything about your mother's whereabouts before she disappeared?"

"Do you want to know all the clues about your mother now?"

"It's all in that room."

Every word he said was like a fishhook, hooking Lu Tang's heart and not letting go.

Every sentence is the answer Lu Tang wants to find.

She stood in front of the door and wanted to go out, but Lu Cheng still blocked her way.

"Let me out." Lu Tang didn't want to wait any longer.

Lu Cheng looked down at the time, and his smile with a dagger in his eyes made Lu Tang's heart tremble: "It's not time yet, wait another ten minutes."
