After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you really think I'm a three-year-old who can be scared by a few easy words?"

"You've certainly mastered the art of pretense, but why haven't you proven your abilities?"

Rong Chengtian laughed instead of getting angry, "If you're so capable, then put up a bidding war for me. What kind of skill is it to just talk big?"

"If you can't even pull out a single penny later, I'll see who's more embarrassed!"

"His face is so swollen, he doesn't even care if he slurs his words." Chen Yun shook his head with a click of his tongue, then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he slowly raised his bidding paddle, "I bid three billion!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

"What? The Cheng family actually still has money? That's impossible. They took out 4 billion first, and then another 3 billion. The Cheng family's cash flow couldn't possibly be that much!" Yang Tiancheng exclaimed.

Zhang Bao nodded: "I agree with what you said... We are all old-timers in Jiangnan City, and we know a little about the Cheng family—after all, they are a wealthy family that has only risen in recent years. In terms of foundation and accumulation, they are far from reaching this level, and they could not possibly come up with so much money."

He Wen'an sat beside him, not saying a word, just listening quietly.

What just happened taught him a lesson, and he's made up his mind not to say another word.

The others sitting there shared the same thoughts as Zhang Bao and his group.

Everyone knows the true strength of the Cheng family in Jiangnan City. A total of seven billion yuan in liquid assets is simply too terrifying, and they certainly don't believe it.

"Did you hear what everyone said? Mr. Chen, stop putting on airs!" Rong Chengtian sneered. "Host, I demand a re-examination of their funds. I don't believe the Cheng family can come up with another 3 billion!"

"Mr. Chen, do you agree to our verification of your account funds? You can choose to agree or refuse."

The host didn't immediately agree to Rong Chengtian's request. Instead, he smiled and looked at Chen Yun, saying, "However, according to the auction rules, if we find that your account funds are insufficient to cover the purchase price of the items after the auction, all the items you bid on will be frozen, and you will need to pay 20% of the corresponding bid price free of charge."

"In addition, we can make an exception and allow you to withdraw this offer."

Auction houses naturally have their own rules, especially since this is a land auction held in the municipal center.

If Chen Yun cannot come up with such a sum of money, the land he previously acquired will be reclaimed, and he will have to pay a 20% handling fee on the total amount of the two bids as a warning.

With seven billion added together, the transaction fees amount to a full fourteen billion!

This punishment is quite severe.

Of course, the auction house did not want to see this happen, so it gave Chen Yun an exception.

"Chen Yun, let's cancel it. Didn't you check our company account? There really isn't that much money left," Cheng Qingyue advised softly, her eyes full of worry.

It must be said that the other business owners in Jiangnan City underestimated the Cheng family.

If they were to sell everything they owned, the Cheng family could indeed come up with another 3 billion yuan.

But the problem is, you can't just buy land and not build houses, right?

Subsequent house design, zoning, blueprint construction, raw materials, construction team... all of these will be a huge investment. All the money is used to buy land. Are we going to sell air afterwards?

Besides, the land in Changhong Bay isn't worth that much money at all.

They already spent 4 billion, which was already an astronomical sum. If they keep throwing money into it, even a god couldn't break even!

For the sake of Chen Yun's reputation, Cheng Qingyue did not stop him for the first time.

But this is the second time... We can't keep messing around like this!

"Who told you I was going to use the company account's money?" Chen Yun turned his head, glanced at Cheng Qingyue indifferently, and then said loudly, "I agree to check the account funds."

"Okay, Mr. Chen." The host nodded immediately and then said a few words through the headset.

While waiting, everyone in the audience held a playful attitude, eagerly anticipating the next show.

"They really won't give up until they're completely defeated!" Rong Chengtian sneered.

A few minutes later, the host slowly turned off the headset, a serious look appearing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Rong Chengtian's smile grew even more rampant: "How's it going? Could it be that this guy doesn't have any money in his account at all? Could it be that he can't even come up with the previous forty billion??"

Immediately afterwards, everyone watched in astonishment as the host walked to the auction platform, bowed deeply to Chen Yun with utmost respect, and then solemnly said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. It was my oversight that I was unaware that you had updated your account funds. Please punish me."

"What... what does this mean?"

Everyone looked bewildered, none of them understanding why simply checking an account could cause the host to change so drastically!

"Ignorance is no excuse." Chen Yun waved his hand. "Can you tell them the results now?"

The host nodded repeatedly and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, after verification, Mr. Chen's account has ample funds, more than enough to cover the bidding price!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

Cheng Qingyue's mouth is very big, as if it could fit a whole salted duck egg.

"Chen Yun, did you... did you find some help?" Cheng Qingyue asked anxiously.

No one knows better than her how much money is in the account... When exactly did Chen Yun get this new money?

"Looking for help... If that's how you see it, then it's fine." Chen Yun smiled.

That's right, just as the first auction ended, Chen Yun received news that Sparrow Phoenix had transferred the prepared 50 billion yuan into his account!

Chen Yun has more than a dozen similar accounts around the world!

To him, money is just a bunch of numbers!

"I'll bid four billion!" Before anyone could react, Chen Yun calmly raised his bid paddle.

You're bidding against yourself!

"You, you..." Rong Chengtian felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, and blood rushed up to the top of his head!

Chen Yun is clearly rich, so why not just throw money at him? Why make him pay 700 million?

There's only one answer: Chen Yun was deliberately humiliating him!

Chen Yun wanted to see Rong Chengtian end up shooting himself in the foot!

In the process, he even earned seven slaps and a "father" for no reason!

"thump!"

Enraged, Rong Chengtian completely fainted, collapsing to the ground and convulsing intermittently!

A group of security guards rushed forward and carried Rong Chengtian out.

The whole audience was silent.

Only Chen Yun smiled faintly, his expression carrying a hint of regret, "My newly adopted grandson doesn't seem to be in good health."
