A lady in a cheongsam warmly led Yan Ling and said, "My lord, the access to the third floor has been closed for a long time. Please take the elevator from here."

Word of Power: "You came in too much of a hurry."

Yan Ling caught a glimpse of red in her peripheral vision. She looked toward a room, which happened to be Ruan Qian'an's room.

It was just a very similar figure, and it was wearing red clothes. The boss never wore red clothes. Yan Ling felt that she was being too suspicious.

She shook her head helplessly.

The hostess in a cheongsam held the elevator door open for Yan Ling, waiting for her next move. She didn't even dare to look up, let alone look at them.

The two men in black suits following behind Yan Ling asked in confusion, "What are you looking at, sir?"

Yan Ling: "It's nothing." It's not safe for Chi Xiao, a mere weakling, to be in the room alone. He put on his mask and stepped into the elevator.

The Word Spirit said, "Let's go."

The two people following behind Yan Ling were Zhi Sha, the leader of the Yun Group, and a woman.

One is Feng Xin, the group leader of Elephant Eye, who is male.

The woman in the cheongsam didn't go up with the elevator; instead, she waited until the elevator doors closed completely before leaving.

Fengxin said, "Lord Yanling, who is this person on the third floor? How can he use the cherry blossom-themed room on the third floor?"

Yan Ling glanced at them coldly and said, "All you need to do is protect him. Don't ask questions you shouldn't."

The two replied in unison, "Yes."

After the three of them got off the elevator, they headed towards the only room on the third floor.

Zhi Sha and Feng Xin stood guard outside, while Yan Ling went inside.

This room was clearly much larger than the room where Ruan Qian'an was.

As soon as Ruan Qian'an sat down, a beam of light shone on the circular platform in the center.

Two people dressed in long cheongsams with loose underpants emerged from a hidden doorway.

One of them was holding a small hammer, and the other was holding a microphone.

The woman holding the microphone said, "Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now, the auction begins."

After saying that, she pressed a button and stepped back.

The center of the platform opened, and a transparent glass dome slowly rose from the ground.

The platform gradually rose until it reached almost to the young lady's waist before stopping.

The lights focused on the rising treasure, inside which was a golden, lifelike phoenix. Under the light, it looked like a phoenix rising from the ashes, about to take flight.

There is a large screen next to each room; it's not clearly visible to the naked eye, but you can see it on the screen.

The appearance of the treasure drew many exclamations of amazement; everyone was amazed by its exquisite craftsmanship.

The woman holding the microphone announced, "The bidding will now begin. The starting price is fifty million."

Each house has a light on its roof, and each time it is turned on, it adds 50 million.

The lights in each room were turned on repeatedly for five minutes before the treasure was finally captured on camera.

The woman holding the hammer looked at a screen below, tapped it with the hammer, and said, "Okay, that's it."

"Second floor, unit 10. Bought for 2 million, congratulations."

Qin Runeng clearly heard someone say, "No matter how many times you come here, this Treasure Pavilion can always give you a new surprise."

Qin Ru couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This...this is the most lifelike treasure I have ever seen before."

Qin Ru turned to Ruan Qian'an and said, "It's such a pity you can't see it."

As a result, Ruan Qian'an just frowned and looked up. From their direction, they could see the only room on the third floor.

Qin Ru followed the direction Ruan Qian'an was looking and asked, "Qian'an, what are you looking at?"

Ruan Qian'an said, "It looks like someone is sitting on the third floor."

Qin Ru said, "It seems to be an important person, that he can actually sit on the third floor."

Ruan Qian'an's expression grew increasingly serious: "How could there be someone on the third floor?"

Qin Ru said, "It's probably because there's really no other place, so they had to use the third floor. There are always people more capable than you, and you can't even imagine how powerful the person on the third floor is."

Qin Ru clicked her tongue in amazement.

Ruan Qian'an leaned back in her chair and said, "Impossible."

Chixiao and Yanling stood on the third floor and asked the masked man sitting in the chair, "Have you decided not to look for him anymore after today?"

The man propped his head up with his hand and looked down, saying, "I'm not looking anymore. I want to save this last bit of time for someone important."

He looked exhausted, and his cold brows never relaxed.

The man felt a burning gaze and looked towards a plum blossom-patterned room on the second floor. Through two curtains, he met that burning gaze.

The man curled his fingers slightly and rubbed his temples wearily.

Chi Xiao, seeing the man's expression, said, "Why don't you rest on the bed here for a while before continuing your search?"

The man said, "If I can't find it by today, I'll give up completely."

The Word Spirit said, "Even so, you and the young lady must remain under our surveillance, and what happened before must not happen again."

The man replied casually, "Hmm."

On the other end, Ruan Qian'an opened her eyes, her expression solemn, staring blankly in the direction of the third floor, a happy guess popping into her mind.

Qin Ru tugged at Ruan Qian'an and said, "Stop daydreaming, come out."

Ruan Qian'an came to her senses

A woman in a cheongsam, holding a microphone, paced back and forth: "This time, it's a major treasure, which is..."

"These are the boys and girls we've been waiting for!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two rectangular, transparent platforms rose up. Lying on them were a naked man and a naked woman.

A young woman in a cheongsam holding a microphone said, "Dark City hasn't sold this kind of thing for many years."

She chuckled twice and then said, "These two are custom-made."

“However—” she drawled, “now that we’re here, whether we can buy it or not depends on our own abilities.”

The lady holding the small hammer stepped forward, tapped the table, and said, "Alright, starting bid is one thousand!"

Qin Ru placed her hand on the armrest and said, "Are people really that worthless?!"

"And they called it a bombshell. Damn!"

Ruan Qian'an scoffed, "People aren't worth much. What's important is that An Cheng is saying she's going to do this deal in the future, and everyone is welcome to come and give her money."

The man sitting on the third floor watched this absurd scene, then turned to Chi Xiao and Yan Ling and said, "Is this the business you run?"

Chi Xiao and Yan Ling both looked solemn: "No."

The two men exchanged a glance, and both could see the word "betrayal" in each other's eyes.

Yan Ling's face showed a hint of rage: "How dare they not follow the rules?"

Chi Xiao's expression was gloomy: "I'm afraid the boss has really met with misfortune."

The Word Spirit coldly stared down below.

The man sitting in the chair looked at the child who was tied up below with a fierce expression, and pressed the auction button.

Then he said to Chixiao and Yanling, "Go and stop this farce."

The spirit word silently retreated.

Ruan Qian'an placed one foot on the mahogany railing and said to Qin Ru, "Take them down."
