While she was playing games on Ye Minghan's phone in the bedroom, one of the members of the hacker group sent a message reporting the follow-up to the incident, which she saw.

It's truly astonishing that in just two days, Gong Qingchen has fallen so low that he's practically fighting with beggars for a place to live under a bridge.

Thus, a generation of leading men fell from grace.

As she was lost in her thoughts, a dull thud of leather shoes approached from afar.

Cheng Liang's black leather shoes slowly came to a stop about a meter away from her.

"Hi, hello, I'm Yu Huairan."

Hua Qingyan didn't even need to look up to know that he was the man who had stopped Ye Minghan in the lobby of the Blue Leaf Hotel.

In addition, all his information had already appeared in her mind.

Yu Huairan is extremely lustful and has a foot fetish. He is Ye Minghan's high school classmate and one of the culprits of campus bullying. He is currently studying at University A.

She really is birds of a feather with Han Ruowu!

One guy surnamed Han just left, and now another guy surnamed Yu has arrived!

Do those two handsome men who bully her really think she's a pushover, so easy to talk to?

Both of them were spreading rumors behind Minghan's back that he had a mental illness and a sexually transmitted disease!

This led to him being ostracized by the entire school!

The thought of him living like this for nearly twenty years made her heart ache.

Not only did no one help him, everyone also kicked him while he was down!

Growing up in such an environment, the fact that he didn't become depressed and commit suicide shows that he has a very strong psychological resilience!

Hua Qingyan's eyes were filled with anger. She was about to look up and confront him when a large hand, smelling of mint, pressed her head down, preventing her from raising it.

He quickly stood in front of her, hiding her behind him and shielding her from all of Yu Huairan's lewd gazes.

Ye Minghan's intimidating gaze sent chills down one's spine, like a demon just emerging from hell, making one shiver inexplicably.

Yu Huairan felt this way at that moment, with an intuition that if he stayed any longer, he would die.

The man in front of him, wearing a butterfly mask, looked to be about the same age as him, yet he possessed the ruthless decisiveness that only those in positions of power could have.

And that gaze, like that of someone looking at a dead man, made him inexplicably afraid.

That night at the Blue Leaf Hotel, he even mistook him for Ye Minghan.

How could someone with such an imposing presence be a poor wretch still living in the slums?

He was now feeling a chill run down his spine. Forcing himself to remain calm, he uttered, "I mistook you for someone else," and turned to leave without looking back.

A fierce storm was brewing in Ye Minghan's eyes as he stared ruthlessly at Yu Huairan, who was walking faster and faster.

Even with her father behind bars, she still has the mind to have fun here.

It seems the stimulation wasn't enough.

He wouldn't mind putting in a little more effort.

The next second, the phone appeared in his palm.

He quickly typed a message, sent it, and then put his phone away.

He then turned to look at the girl who was still sitting obediently behind him.

She was looking up at him, her beautiful, shimmering eyes quickly scanning his body for any wounds, and she even sniffed him several times.

Only after confirming that he didn't smell of blood did I put my heart back down.

She opened her arms to him, wanting a hug.

Seeing his beloved Qingyan so obedient, Ye Minghan felt his jealousy lessen somewhat.

He then bent down and pulled her into his arms, then whispered a wicked word in her ear, gently biting her round earlobe.

"Honey, did you look at him just now? Hmm?"

The tone was extremely dangerous.

Hua Qingyan suddenly had the illusion that if she looked at it, she would have to obediently accept "punishment".

But she knew he was jealous!

Her cherry lips, tinged with a smile, parted and closed against his neck.

"No, I'm very picky. I only look at my male lovers at night."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't resist the temptation and kissed his throat.

She even rubbed his earlobes with her little hands until he started breathing heavily.

Only then, as if she had caused trouble, did she obediently bury her face in his shoulder and remind him.

"Hanhan, it's time for the auction to begin."

Ye Minghan kissed her hair before walking towards the bustling auction hall.

As for the five tall men lying in the dark alley, they were no longer breathing, and their bodies were completely intact, except for a knife wound on their necks.

One fatal blow!

Even the most elite assassins in this small world cannot achieve such a level of skill!

If you look closely, you'll find that they've also been sprayed with bone-dissolving powder.

Five minutes later, the alleyway returned to its quiet, eerie state.

As for the five people on the ground?

Under the influence of the bone-dissolving powder, only a pool of blood remained in place.

By tomorrow morning, the blood will evaporate completely with the sunlight.

Hua Qingyan, who had already been carried to a private room on the second floor of the auction house, was unaware of all this. She still thought that her handsome Ye was just going to teach them a lesson.

But at this point, she was unable to think of anything else.

Because in the center of the stage in the lobby on the first floor, what is being auctioned now is a treasure map of a mysterious pirate!

Another treasure map!

The Blue Leaf Hotel was popularized by that fictitious will.

This treasure map will probably attract even more people to fight over it.

She had just heard the host on stage introduce countless gold and silver treasures, too many to count.

It is only because its location is too remote and dangerous that it has remained until now.

Sitting in Ye Minghan's arms, she looked down at the yellowed parchment scroll through the specially designed floor-to-ceiling glass.

Her coldness had said that in the previous life, this small world was destroyed, and many valuable jewels were lost.
