The boy's meaningful words were as bright as the afternoon sun, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

But it inexplicably made the atmosphere in the room tense, and the middle-aged man's heart was filled with dark clouds, as if he was living with the god of death.

He didn't dare to answer, not even to breathe loudly.

"go out."

Suddenly, the young man's scolding voice sounded, like an amnesty order, which scared the middle-aged man so much that he fled the room in a panic without even thinking.

The young man looked at the middle-aged man's disappearing back, and a sinister smile flashed in his originally pure eyes.

He sighed, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the phone was connected and a cold female voice sounded, like an emotionless machine.

"Useless trash, he has no right to live in this world, let him go where he belongs!"

"clear."

After the phone call ended, the boy opened the window with his white fingers.

The hand holding the phone reached out, and a warm breeze blew.

His hand loosened, and the phone, without support, fell freely from the sixth floor.

With a "click".

to pieces.

The room fell silent again.

…

The next day.

Today is the day of the auction.

Thursday, June 15, 1989.

The weather was exceptionally clear and sunny, and the temperature outside reached a terrifying 40 degrees Celsius, scorching the earth so much that people felt like they were about to be fried.

Although it was not the weekend and the weather was hot, the streets of Zhouhai were still bustling with people.

Especially at the venue of the auction, the Zhouhai International Convention and Exhibition Center, there was a huge crowd of people.

Not only were there people attending the auction, but there were also quite a few journalists and people who came to watch the fun.

After all, this is a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of a business giant.

Even many celebrities will be invited to participate, which makes their fans very excited.

When Gong Yu and Li Shujie followed Zuo Jiangtao to the auction site, they couldn't help but look at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Is this still an auction?

Are you sure this isn't a celebrity fan meeting?

Or a press conference on a financial channel?

Otherwise, it should be a bidding meeting of a certain company, right?

The Zhouhai Auction is held once a year, and wealthy businessmen and famous celebrities from all over the country are invited to participate.

But the scale of previous years was far less than this time.

Therefore, not only Gong Yu and Li Shujie felt confused, but even Zuo Jiangtao was also confused.

Zuo Jiangtao gave the invitation to the auction staff. After verifying their identities, each person received a list of today's auction items.

The lots will be sorted in order of quality.

The lowest price comes first.

Often, the further back it is, the more precious it is.

The last item to be auctioned is often the highlight of the auction.

Everyone who gets the list of items to be auctioned will immediately look at the last item, wanting to see if they can afford to buy the finale item.

However, when Zuo Jiangtao saw the name of the item at the end, he rubbed his eyes in surprise, thinking he had seen it wrong.

Before Zuo Jiangtao could react, the person who followed in behind him suddenly shouted in shock, bringing him back to his senses.

"What did you say? The last lot is a ten-thousand-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Ten thousand years? Ten thousand years? Ten thousand years..."

"This Ganoderma is older than my ancestors!"
