Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The King’s Return (11)

The black off-road vehicle pulled up, and the tall and muscular bodyguards got out, standing by the car. The driver of the third vehicle got out and opened the door.

A slender figure emerged slowly.

Jiang Ye’s smile faded slightly as he stared intently at the young girl getting out of the car.

She stood among a group of bodyguards, truly appearing very small.

However, when she stood still and looked over in their direction, in that moment, she commanded an aura of her own.

No bodyguard, no matter how tall, could hide the young girl’s elegant and noble temperament.

It was as if even the Night Color was making way for her.

“Master Jiang, this is the one I mentioned to you before.”

The person standing behind Jiang Ye stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.

“Hmm?” Jiang Ye did not catch on: “What are you talking about?”

“It’s the one I encountered when I was being chased last time, the one who took off my shoes, and left herself twenty thousand yuan. I will probably never forget it in my life.”

Jiang Ye remembered hearing about this: “That’s quite interesting.”

“What’s so interesting? Master Jiang, this young girl is weird, and now she shows up here…”

At that time, out in the wilderness, a young girl in a white dress, he thought he’d seen a ghost.

Jiang Ye looked over towards Sheng Ting.

Sheng Ting’s face was somber, and he did not reveal much emotion, leaving Jiang Ye feeling somewhat uninterested.

Chuzheng approached, calling out in a cool voice: “Jiang Ye.”

Jiang Ye was momentarily startled. He hadn’t expected Chuzheng to call out to him first.

The youth immediately lifted his face with a smile, as faint, scattered light played in the depths of his eyes: “Miss Sheng.”

“Are you well now?”

Jiang Ye’s hand in his pocket tightened slightly: “With Miss Sheng’s concern, of course I am well.”

Chuzheng did not elaborate, leaving Sheng Ting and Eric somewhat in the dark.

Eric didn’t mind, but Sheng Ting was surrounded by an air of low pressure at this moment.

She was actually speaking so intimately with Jiang Ye!

When had they become acquainted?

“Zhenzhen, what are you doing here?” Sheng Ting suppressed his anger, his eyes dark and tumultuous, like the eve of a storm.

The prior image of the young girl, like a “Canary”, was nowhere to be found.

The young girl was emanating a sense of coldness and detachment, as if he were an insignificant person whom she did not even deign to consider.

All of this was slipping out of control.

Chuzheng felt that compared to the Good Person Card, Sheng Ting was more like the one who should be blackened.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with Sheng Ting’s confinement of the original host.

Perhaps it was a sort of understanding between like entities.

But while Sheng Ting was confining the original host, he was involved with Zhuang Yi… doing those kinds of things.

That was hard to accept.

How could one eat from the bowl and look into the pot at the same time!

Bastard!

Chuzheng’s cool gaze turned towards Sheng Ting.

“What I do here is none of your business,” she answered.

I come if I want to.

This road isn’t owned by anyone!

And now you’re trying to control me!

“This is not a place for you.”

“Mr. Sheng.” Chuzheng interrupted him: “From the day you left the Sheng Family, you lost any right to meddle in my affairs.”

“I’ll have someone send you away right now,” Sheng Ting said with a bad tone, his words carrying an unmistakable command.

“Going to confine me again?” Chuzheng’s voice was ice cold.

Jiang Ye, hearing this, looked up at Sheng Ting.

His eyes held a hint of coolness.

But he quickly lowered his head and, upon raising his eyes again, a careless smile reappeared.

Eric didn’t give Sheng Ting another chance to speak: “Mr. Sheng, your grievances with Miss Sheng aren’t my concern, let’s not forget why we’re here.”

“Eric has a point,” Jiang Ye chimed in.

Sheng Ting wanted to say more.

But Chuzheng had already turned her gaze away to look at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye gave her a slight smile.

To Sheng Ting, the scene was exceedingly irritating to his eyes.

He clenched his fists, feeling a sense of betrayal in the depths of his heart.

“Since all three of you are clear, I won’t go into detail, let’s just say the one with the highest bid wins, alright?” Eric seemed very easy to talk to, “Each of you will take turns to bid, and the last one remaining wins.”

Sheng Ting, although dissatisfied with Eric,

was at this point left with no choice but to follow Eric’s rules.

A group of people stood by the riverside in the middle of the night, braving the river breeze, starting to bid in a transaction worth tens of millions.

“Eighty million.”

This was the price that Sheng Ting and Eric had agreed upon initially, eighty million.

“Eighty-five million,” the young man said lightly.

The subordinates behind him approached with some concern, “Master Jiang, aren’t you adding too much?”

In such business, of course, the lower the price, the better.

“One hundred million.”

The young girl’s crisp voice startled the subordinate’s worries away.

It was as if she wasn’t quoting one hundred million but one hundred dollars.

Sheng Ting frowned, “Zhenzhen, you can’t come up with that much money.”

He knew the Sheng Family’s situation best.

Perhaps Sheng Min had left her a way out, but it wouldn’t be too much…

Chuzheng looked at Eric.

Eric nodded with a smile, confirming the bid was valid.

“Mr. Eric, I think you are aware of the current state of the Sheng Family. She doesn’t have the capability to pay you that much money.”

Eric asked, “Mr. Sheng, will you raise the bid?”

Sheng Ting’s eyebrows twisted into a frown, “One hundred and ten million.”

Jiang Ye surveyed the circle and said slowly, “One hundred and twenty million.”

Chuzheng calmly raised the bid, “One hundred and twenty million.”

Jiang Ye could hardly conceal a smile, “Miss Sheng, you’re making this difficult for me.”

According to her bidding pattern, it had already surpassed the true value.

Chuzheng said, “I’m willing.” Mind your own business!

Sheng Ting’s dark eyes stared at Chuzheng, gritting his teeth, “One hundred and twenty-two million.”

Jiang Ye was silent for a while but followed, “One hundred and twenty-five million.”

“One hundred and thirty million.”

Sheng Ting didn’t understand where Chuzheng got all that money from, or if she was just here to cause trouble… but if it was troublemaking, would Eric let her bid?

Or perhaps Sheng Min really left her…

After another round, Jiang Ye dropped out.

He came here because he didn’t want Sheng Ting to acquire the merchandise.

Since the Sheng Family’s young miss was now contending with Sheng Ting, he would just stop here and watch the drama unfold.

“Zhenzhen, must you really oppose me?”

Chuzheng said nothing. I don’t want to, I want to finish you off.

But according to the Bastard’s theory, anything he wanted must be fought over, even to the point of ruin.

The Bastard probably wanted to infuriate him to death.

“Zhenzhen, if there is anything, let’s go back and talk about it. I know I didn’t handle things properly before, I apologize to you, let’s not make a scene.”

Sheng Ting softened his tone.

Chuzheng kept an indifferent face, “Are you raising the bid?”

“…”

Nobody could outbid Chuzheng.

Sheng Ting had exceeded his budget and could only give up.

“Congratulations to Miss Sheng.”

Eric’s face beamed with delight.

“Miss Sheng, congratulations,” the young man also offered his felicitation with a smiling face, “The Sheng Family, standing for a century, truly has an impressive foundation.”

Eric’s face beamed with delight.

This was all money earned for nothing.

“Miss Sheng, where would you like the delivery to take place?”

Eric asked this question in front of Sheng Ting and Jiang Ye, possibly with ill intent.

Chuzheng gave him a look and said, “Sink it in the sea.”

Eric was so shocked he forgot his Chinese, “what?”

Under Sheng Ting’s dark and sharp gaze, Chuzheng spoke word by word, “Sink that batch of goods in the sea.”
