"That Xiao Chen is a real scumbag. Song Zhigang saved his life, and he betrayed him right away," Li Ziyu said with a look of disdain.
She was now glad she hadn't snatched the prize from Xiao Chen. If she had lived with such a despicable person, she didn't know what her future would have been like.
"What exactly happened, Sister Ziyu? I'm completely confused."
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin. Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan were both innocent and naive, and Su Lin had obviously not told them about these things, so she didn't know whether she should tell them or not.
Su Lin said calmly, "They will face these things sooner or later, Ziyu, just tell them."
So Li Ziyu began to recount her cooperation with Su Lin in its entirety.
The women were stunned, especially Zhao Yanyan and Xia Shiyu.
They never imagined that Su Lin's life in Donghai would be so dramatic and exciting.
Lin Xiaowan, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

Upon hearing that Su Lin had actually killed someone, Zhao Yanyan and Xia Shiyu both covered their mouths, looking incredulous.
Xia Shiyu, in particular, was just a high school graduate about to enter university. Although she had been exposed to martial arts, she still felt deep down that students should focus on their studies. Little did she know that the society Su Lin and the others were exposed to would be so terrifying.
Lin Xiaowan said apologetically, "Su Lin, I'm sorry. I thought you were having a good time in Donghai. I didn't expect so many things to have happened."
Su Lin rubbed Lin Xiaowan's head and laughed, "What's there to apologize for? In the end, it's all because Xiao Chen was too arrogant. If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Lin Xiaowan nodded; "Su Lin, if you can't handle it, be sure to tell me, I can help you."
Su Lin smiled. He knew that Lin Xiaowan's background was not simple, but he did not want Lin Xiaowan's family in the capital to get involved.
As for Xiao Chen, he can handle it all by himself. The reason he hasn't made a move yet is simply because he feels the timing isn't right.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry, I can handle this little thing myself."
"Mmm~!!"
As they were talking, Qin Gong brought his collection to the auction stage. He had changed into a Tang suit and stood on the stage to give a speech.
"It's starting, it's starting."
"Su Lin, I have an auction list here. Would you like to take a look?"
Su Lin nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then we must take a look. Sister Xiaoyue, why didn't you bring out such a good thing sooner?"
Qin Jiuyue smiled and said, "These are all confidential, what do you think? But I can go and get them to take a look, hehe. You guys wait for me."
Seeing Qin Jiuyue run out, Zhao Yanyan sighed, "I didn't expect Qin Jiuyue to always be so energetic. She's different from the rumors."
Upon hearing this, Li Ziyu said, "That's because Su Lin is here. If Su Lin weren't here, she would be a completely different person."
"Speaking of which, I'm very curious. Su Lin, what exactly happened between you and Xiao Yue Liang that made her so clingy to you?"
Upon hearing Li Ziyu's question, the girls all looked at Su Lin, waiting for him to provide an answer.
Su Lin scratched his head and said, "What could it be? Maybe it's because I'm too handsome."
Li Ziyu looked incredulous.
Seeing this, Su Lin smiled and didn't continue speaking.
He couldn't very well say that the two of them went out to ride a roller coaster in the middle of the night, especially the kind without any safety equipment.
If this were to get out, Lin Xiaowan would definitely be the first to jump out and criticize herself.
"Our first item for auction is the 'Brilliant Heart' necklace, the crown jewel of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery. This necklace is set with 365 small diamonds and one pink diamond. It is the best choice to give as a gift to your wife, girlfriend, or lover. The starting price is 300 million yuan, and each bid must be at least 5 million yuan higher. Bidding will begin now."
As soon as Qin Gong finished speaking, people started raising the price.
Nobody here is stupid. That one pink diamond alone is worth more than 300 million. Whether they want to buy it or not, they'll just put down an offer first.
Su Lin looked at the girls and asked, "Do any of you want one?"
"If you want it, just bid it on for us. The starting bid for this necklace is 300 million. Do you have that much money?" Zhao Yanyan said with a suspicious look.
"Yan Yan, you don't know, do you? Su Lin shorted my Li family's stock this time, and then went long, making a profit of over 30 billion. It's just a necklace; he has plenty of money." Li Ziyu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanyan stared wide-eyed at Su Lin; "Three hundred billion? Not three million?"
"Haha, of course it's 30 billion. It's a pity I don't have enough capital, otherwise I could earn more."
Li Ziyu rolled her eyes at Su Lin and said, "You still think you're not making enough? I've worked diligently at the company for a year and still can't make the company this profitable. But you, you've made so much money just by trading stocks, and you're still not satisfied."
Su Lin laughed and said, "That's because you were put in solitary confinement. Otherwise, I think you would definitely have a share in the stock market."
"So, Yan Yan, do you want this necklace?"
As he spoke, Su Lin raised a sign and shouted, "Three hundred and thirty million."
Zhao Yanyan tried to stop Su Lin, but it was too late: "Are you stupid? I was just saying. Who wants this kind of necklace? It's completely useless. I'm afraid someone will rob it if I wear it out."
"Yan Yan, if you really like it, just take it if Su Lin gives it to you."
"Xiao Wan, I really don't want it. I was just teasing Su Lin. Who knew he would actually buy it?"
"It's alright, we've already called, and the money's just sitting in the bank anyway, might as well buy something," Su Lin said with a smile.
Just then, a familiar voice called out a price.
"Three hundred and fifty million."
Upon hearing Song Juncheng's voice, Su Lin's face darkened; it seemed this second-generation rich kid was going to challenge him.
Do you have the ability to compete with me, Su Lin?
"Four hundred million!!!"
As soon as Su Lin spoke, Zhao Yanyan became anxious.
"Su Lin, I already said I don't want it, why are you asking for such a high price? Do you have too much money to burn?"
Su Lin nodded; "That's right, they just have a lot of money."
As they were talking, the door opened. Qin Jiuyue walked in with a list, which she handed directly to Su Lin, saying, "This is all the items from today's auction. Take a look and see if there's anything you want. If so, I can help you snag it."
Su Lin picked up the notebook and started flipping through it.
"Four hundred and fifty million!!!" Song Juncheng's voice rang out again.
Su Lin did not bid again, but instead took the notebook and looked at it carefully.
Each of the Qin family's playing cards has a picture, as well as its origin and description.
Jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and more are all available.
Su Lin's gaze was quickly drawn to a dark red dragon core.
[The elixir of a dragon that failed to transform: can improve eyesight, enhance internal strength, be used in medicine, and has aphrodisiac properties.]
Su Lin almost burst out laughing when he saw the description of the luminous pearl.
This isn't a luminous pearl; it's an inner elixir!
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Xiao Chen's extraordinary encounter today.
Xiao Chen should have been able to get the third needle of the Taiyi Divine Needle today, but Su Lin intercepted it.
So he wanted to see if Xiao Chen would have any other adventures today, but he never expected to encounter a dragon core.
This is really good stuff.
I don't need the aphrodisiac Su Lin anymore; all my girlfriends have said they can't take it anymore, and if he gets any stronger, we won't be able to play together.
However, enhancing their internal strength was exactly what the women desperately needed.
Seeing Su Lin's gaze linger on the dragon core, Qin Jiuyue asked, "Su Lin, do you like this luminous pearl?"
"What's so great about this luminous pearl? Although it's quite big, it's not bright enough and can't compare to other luminous pearls at all."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin looked at Qin Jiuyue and said, "Sister Xiaoyue, could you intercept this luminous pearl? I want it."
Qin Jiuyue was puzzled when she heard this, wondering why Su Lin wanted this inferior luminous pearl.
However, she will definitely find a way to keep what Su Lin wants.
"I'll call the back office right away and have them send it over so we can upload a new one."
Su Lin nodded: "Okay! Ask your grandfather how much this luminous pearl costs, and I'll give him the money."
"Okay!!"
After responding, Qin Jiuyue made a phone call to the backstage area.
At this moment, Qin Gong on the auction stage shouted, "Five hundred and ten million, sold! Congratulations to Young Master Song for winning the first item."
In a private room not far away, Song Juncheng said with a disdainful look, "I thought he had some strength, but he didn't dare to go for more after reaching 500 million. With such a small amount of strength, he dares to come out and pick up girls, and top-quality girls at that. He really doesn't know what he's talking about."
"Brother Cheng, this necklace is really nice. I'll give it to your wife later; she'll be very happy."
Song Juncheng laughed awkwardly and said, "What sister-in-law? Your brother is still all alone and doesn't have a wife."
"If you don't have a wife, you must have a girlfriend."
Song Juncheng scratched his head; "I have too many girlfriends, but it's too wasteful to give them such expensive necklaces. They don't deserve it."
Xiao Chen said, somewhat speechless, "Then why did you take a picture of this necklace? Are you going to wear it yourself?"
"Why would a grown man like me wear a necklace? I just don't like Xiao Chen. He probably wanted to buy this necklace to give to one of those women. Now that I've bought it, he can't give it to her anymore. Do you think he'll look really upset right now?"
