Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Attending the Auction

The next day was the time for the Qian Family Underground Auction.

As one of Southern Capital’s Grand Families, the Qian Family’s main business was in the antique trade, and they also ran auctions.

The auctions they held were divided into public charity auctions and underground auctions.

Such underground auctions were only known to those in the wealthy circles.

Those who attended these underground auctions were all rich and influential individuals.

And the invitation to such an event was not easy to come by!

However, for Lin Dong, that was obviously not a problem.

With Bai Zhonglou, the Leader of the Longmen Southern District, a mere invitation was naturally within easy reach.

"Dragon Lord, I shall not accompany you. It would easily expose your identity!"

As Bai Zhonglou handed over the invitation to Lin Dong, he said that.

Lin Dong nodded, "It’ll be fine if I go by myself."

"Dragon Lord, this card contains one billion. Cough cough, in our family, the wife manages the finances. This is just my pocket money, please use it as you need," Bai Zhonglou said with a cough.

Lin Dong: "..."

So, his ’father-in-law’ was under strict ’wife-management’ after all.

But truly, for the rich, their pocket money is a whopping one billion.

Lin Dong laughed and shook his head, "Leader Bai, I have my own money."

He had made tens of millions in business partnerships with Li Qingcheng.

Plus, he had already received a reward of 100 million from Bai Xiaolou, and now he had over a billion in his hand.

"Dragon Lord, please take it!"

However, Bai Zhonglou insisted and stuffed the card into Lin Dong’s embrace.

"The password is 888888."

Upon hearing the password, the corners of Lin Dong’s mouth twitched again.

"Are you serious? A card with a billion yuan and such a simple password?"

Wasn’t he afraid that if the card got lost, someone could easily guess the password?

Bai Zhonglou laughed heartily, "Dragon Lord, money to me is just a string of numbers, not important at all."

Lin Dong wanted to decline further, but Bai Zhonglou had already run off.

Lin Dong held the card with a half-smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Sister Hong was actually going to attend as well!

But the two did not go together.

Because that would also easily reveal his identity.

The identity of Master Lin was something Lin Dong did not want to be widely known and talked about by everyone.

He hailed a taxi and went to the destination very low-key.

Soon he arrived at a quiet manor, next to which stood a large marble stone.

It had four words inscribed on it: "Longhu Manor!"

The Qian Family’s Underground Auction was usually held once a month.

The location was different each time.

It generally auctioned off some dubious-origin herbs and antiques!

Although this type of auction was not necessarily illegal, it was still best not to be exposed under the bright lights.

Take, for example, the ’century-old python’ that Lin Dong was planning to acquire this time!

If such a thing were placed in a charity auction, it would probably cause an uproar throughout the city.

However, Lin Dong naturally did not care about that; he was not particularly interested in antiques.

But Heavenly and Earthly treasures were urgently needed by Lin Dong.

Just as he was about to enter, several fully armed bodyguards standing at the manor entrance extended their hand to stop him.

"This is private property, without an invitation, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"

Lin Dong took out the invitation given to him by Bai Zhonglou.

After examining the invitation, the bodyguard quickly gave Lin Dong a salute.

"So, it turns out to be a distinguished guest, please come in!"

He made an extremely respectful gesture, inviting Lin Dong to enter.

As Lin Dong walked into Longhu Manor, he found the mansion to be very large.

On the lawn of the mansion, Lin Dong saw that a simple venue had been set up with seats arranged.

That was the site for the auction.

The seats were not many, less than a hundred! But one should not underestimate this auction.

Though the number of people was small, the total price of the items auctioned off always far exceeded that of the external charity auctions!

The entire auction would conclude with a turnover of at least fifty billion.

Lin Dong casually found a spot and sat down, quietly waiting for the auction to start.

Meanwhile, within the mansion, there was a small courtyard.

This courtyard was reserved for entertaining VIPs!

At the moment, in the courtyard, the head of the Qian Family from Southern Capital, Qian Fuguo, dressed in a Tang suit, was hosting a group of honored guests with his son Qian Hao.

These people were all big shots.

"Xiao Hao, come over and greet these uncles!"

"This is Ning City Boss Guo Jun, this is Tong City’s Tycoon Wang Liu, this is King Kong, a close associate of the legendary gang leader Liu..."

"Hurry up and greet them!"

Although Qian Fuguo was the head of the grand Qian Family of Southern Capital,

he still seemed somewhat humble in the presence of these big shots.

As for his son Qian Hao, there was even less need to say.

He eagerly greeted each of the big shots with an excited heart.

"Uncle Guo Jun, Uncle Wang Liu, Uncle King Kong... I’ve been hearing about your exploits since I was young. I have great admiration for all of you."

Qian Hao complimented everyone.

Big shots like Guo Jun and Wang Liu simply nodded slightly, as someone of Qian Hao’s junior status hardly warranted a conversation with them.

Naturally, Qian Hao understood this and, after greeting them, obediently left.

After he left, Qian Fuguo, with an anxious heart, said to the others:

"Gentlemen, when Miss Nangong Hong arrives later, I’ll have to trouble you to help introduce me. If there’s anything I can do for you, I will do my best!"

Hearing Qian Fuguo’s words, the others frowned slightly.

Qian Fuguo was well-informed, knowing that Miss Nangong Hong was associated with Master Lin and wanted to make her acquaintance.

"Boss Qian, it’s not a problem for you to want to connect with Miss Nangong Hong. We can introduce you!"

"But don’t be too greedy and try to get to know the person behind her! The less you know about that person’s identity, the safer it is for you!"

Ning City Boss Guo Jun warned.

"Of course, of course!" Qian Fuguo nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

At this moment, Tong City’s Tycoon Wang Liu received a phone call.

He couldn’t help but smile and said:

"Miss Nangong Hong has arrived at the door, let us go to welcome her."

A group of people left the small courtyard and headed for the entrance of the manor to welcome the guest.

As for Lin Dong, he was sitting on a prepared chair at the auction site, playing a game.

He had been obsessed with a frustrating game called ’Sheep Up Sheep’ for the past two days and was struggling to get past the second level.

He was earnestly attempting to pass the level at that moment.

Unexpectedly, at this instant, an extremely surprised voice rang out.

"Eh, Lin Dong, what the hell are you doing here? Is this a place for you?"

Lin Dong looked up and saw the speaker was Qian Hao, who had previously suffered defeats at Lin Dong’s hands.
