Gu Momo quickly drove to the auction. When she left the Li family villa, Li Zhanting was working on the balcony with his laptop.

A hint of suspicion flashed in his dark eyes. It was almost dark. What was Gu Momo doing out there?

His slender fingers deftly pulled out his phone and called Mo Feng, saying, "Get the car ready, I'm going out."

The auction in the capital was dazzling and filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence.

The Imperial Capital Auction is world-renowned, attracting countless wealthy tycoons from the capital every time.

Legend has it that the auction house is backed by a mysterious figure whose status and position far surpass those of the bigwigs in the capital. Perhaps only the Li and Rong families would have the audacity to cause trouble at the auction house in the capital!

Gu Momo, dressed in an elegant light gauze dress, gracefully walked into the auction venue.

She wore custom-made high heels, her slender waist accentuated by a belt, making her appear otherworldly and ethereal, as fresh and elegant as a fairy descended to earth, her beauty incomparable.

As soon as she entered the door, Director Chen saw her from afar. His eyes lit up and he quickly ran over to greet Gu Momo. "President Gu, you've finally arrived! The Li family and the Rong family have already raised the price of the Divine Pearl Grass to 5 billion! If it weren't for your reputation, these two families would probably have turned the auction upside down!"

"Mm." Gu Momo nodded lightly, and after Director Chen gestured for her to enter, she went in unhurriedly.

She specifically chose a window seat on the top floor, where the view was excellent and she could witness the entire auction.

Sitting here signifies the highest status of the person behind the auction.

Director Chen respectfully helped her draw back the curtains, and the commotion from the auction immediately filled the room, along with a sharp, arrogant voice:

"Old Master Rong! You old codger, you just want to go against me, don't you!"

Li Mingyue stood up from the VIP seats on the south side, slammed the teacup on the table, and glared at the old man on the VIP seats on the north side with a furrowed brow.

The Divine Pearl Grass is a new type of medicine specially developed by the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor using genetic modification. It is the only new drug in the world that can drive away cancer cells. There is only one plant available on the market, and many people are waiting to snap it up!

She finally found out the whereabouts of the Divine Pearl Grass, but unexpectedly encountered the Rong family!

In the VIP section on the north side, Old Master Rong held a teacup with a smile, his deep eyes narrowed with a shrewd and calculating light, his face full of composure yet exuding authority.

"You spending 5 billion to buy the Divine Pearl Grass is buying it, and I raising the price to 6 billion is also buying it. Am I going against you? I'm competing fairly with you. Little girl, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, or you'll just look like an idiot!"

"You!" Li Mingyue gritted her teeth in anger.

"When I first bid two billion, no one dared to compete with me anymore. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, this Divine Pearl Grass would have been mine long ago! Isn't this deliberately going against me?"

Old Master Rong's aged eyes gleamed with a smile. He chuckled, his eyes filled with an air of self-satisfaction and certainty. "I've already bid six billion. Tell me, are you going to bid again? If you don't, this Divine Pearl Grass will belong to the Rong family!"

Li Mingyue was furious. She had gone to great lengths to buy the Divine Pearl Grass just to please Old Master Li.

The cancer cells in Old Master Li's body have spread, and now the entire Li family is stirring. If his health deteriorates even slightly, the entire Li family will surely descend into chaos.

If she could obtain the Divine Pearl Grass to alleviate Old Master Li's illness, it would be much easier for her to help her youngest son secure the position of Li family heir in the future!

If she's unwilling to spend the money now, she'll be ruining her son's future!

She had been driven to the brink by Old Master Rong, but she still gritted her teeth and raised the sign:

"Seven billion! I want this Divine Pearl Grass!"

Old Master Rong's eyelids twitched. Although surprised, he didn't hesitate:

Eight billion!

Eight billion?! Li Mingyue was completely stunned.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Li family, the assets she can inherit are limited. Several billion had already driven her to the brink of despair. Unexpectedly, Old Master Rong took out eight billion without even blinking an eye!

Her heart was breaking, but her hands still trembled as she held up the sign:

Nine billion!

Forget it, if she could get the Divine Pearl Grass, her reward would be far more than just a few billion...

Without a second thought, Grandpa Rong followed suit:

"Ten billion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous gasps:

"Holy crap! Is this what it's like to be part of a wealthy family? They don't even blink an eye at a hundred billion?"

"Li Mingyue was clearly driven to a dead end, but Old Master Rong didn't even hesitate for a moment. It's simply overwhelming, isn't it?"

"Of course! Old Master Rong bought it specifically for Old Madam Rong. Old Master Rong and Old Madam Rong were a perfect couple when they were young. Back then, who in the entire capital hadn't heard their legend? Although they are both older now, Old Master Rong is still willing to spend money like dirt for Old Madam Rong. Their affection is truly unmatched..."

"If you ask me, the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor is truly amazing! If this Divine Pearl Grass could be cultivated on a large scale, it would benefit all of humanity..."

"..."

The scene was filled with gasps from the audience.

Director Chen was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead. He wiped the sweat away and cautiously asked Gu Momo, "President Gu, what should we do now?"

The Li and Rong families are both renowned and powerful families, so Gu Momo is naturally not afraid. However, Director Chen does not have the same power and background as Gu Momo, and he is still intimidated by the challenge from the two families.

But what puzzled him was how President Gu could remain so calm...

Gu Momo casually blew on her coffee, took a sip without haste, and smiled calmly. "The Rong family doesn't need to pay a single penny to get things from my auction."

Director Chen: Huh?

Did he hear that right? What did President Gu just say?

The Rong family is buying this for free?

This is a priceless medicinal herb worth billions! You can't necessarily buy it even if you have the money. And President Gu just said he'd give it away like that?!

Mr. Gu! You're really that rich, could you please give me your money?!

Gu Momo raised an eyebrow with a sly smile, then slowly looked at Director Chen. "What, do you have a problem with what I said?"

Her clear eyes held a deep smile, carrying an invisible but powerful pressure. Director Chen felt his scalp tingle under her gaze and immediately understood Gu Momo's meaning!

Director Chen quickly went to the window, turned on the microphone, and his loud, clear voice resonated throughout the room:

"Everyone! There's no need to argue anymore! Our auction house owner has already said that the Divine Pearl Grass auctioned this time will be given to Mr. Rong for free! Also, our master has said that she has a special connection with Mr. Rong. If the Rong family wants anything from the auction, they don't need to participate in the auction; they can just ask us for it!"

"And we promise, anything the Rong family asks for, we'll give it all—for free!!!"
