Ling Tianba nodded without asking any further questions.

At this moment, Ye Lin looked at Ling Tianba, which puzzled the latter greatly.

Ye Lin said, "Has your daughter not given you an answer yet?"

Ye Lin had no intention of letting Ling Qingyi go. She was as aloof as a white lotus on a snowy mountain. How could such a stunning beauty not move him?

"Dragon King, rest assured, I have been communicating with her and I believe she will give me an answer soon. A man as outstanding as you is rare in this world. There is no one who can compare to you. I believe my daughter knows how to choose. When the time comes, you just need to wait for good news."

"good!"

Hearing Ling Tianba's praise, Ye Lin's smile widened, revealing his signature wicked grin.

Xu Fei, who was standing quietly to the side, twitched his lips. He still hadn't learned to laugh like that, which was so inhuman.

Ling Tianba was right. In this world, who else could compare to him? They didn't even have the right to be compared. He was the Dragon King, the ruler of the entire Dragon King Palace, and the man who would one day trample this world under his feet.

At that time, it wouldn't have been an exaggeration to call him a "god".

Therefore, there is simply no one who can compare to him.

Ling Tianba's words pleased him greatly, and his resentment lessened considerably.

The Dragon King Palace has been damaged quite a bit. Once he makes Ling Qingyi his woman, the Ling family will become his puppets, at his mercy.

Of course, there's also the Han family. Han Yan has made it clear that he will announce his engagement to Han Zhiqing on the day of his birthday banquet.

Ye Lin also couldn't forget Han Zhiqing.

As for what Han Yan was thinking, how could Ye Lin not know? Whether the Han family would still belong to Han Yan at that time was a question.

With both the Ling and Han families under his control, and given the long-established connections between the two families, his power will only grow stronger. The current losses will be insignificant in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin laughed excitedly.

At this moment.

My phone vibrated.

When Ye Lin took it out and looked at it, his face immediately darkened.

"Dragon King, what happened?" Ling Tianba asked.

Ye Lin didn't answer, his face was dark and gloomy, and he crushed the phone screen with his hand. Xu Fei and Ling Tianba were both startled by Ye Lin's actions.

I don't know what happened to make Ye Lin so angry.

"Who is it? Who on earth is it?!"

Ye Lin stood up angrily; his good mood from moments before was gone, and now only anger remained.

"Dragon King?"

"..."

Ye Lin looked at Ling Tianba without speaking and said in an icy tone, "Immediately send your men out to investigate who is behind this."

Ling Tianba looked puzzled. There was nothing wrong with the investigation, but what exactly was he investigating? What was it? Did he really think he was a mind reader?

You can know anything.

Ye Lin regained some composure and realized he hadn't explained clearly, so he said, "Michael sent people to retrieve the 50 billion, but someone else took it. According to the location data, that person is in Ningcheng."

"What!"

Ling Tianba knew about the deaths of Chen Tianhai and his son, and he was also aware of some of their actions. Ye Lin had told him a little about this plan, but Ye Lin hadn't gone into details.

Perhaps because of the presence of a traitor, Ye Lin doesn't really trust the Ling family.

Unexpectedly, the 50 billion was snatched away by someone else right after we got it back.

Who on earth has the audacity to oppose the Dragon King's Palace?

Could it be...?

Could it be that traitor?

Did you hear me?

Seeing that Ling Tianba had not answered for a long time, Ye Lin was very displeased.

"Dragon King, I understand. I will send people to investigate immediately!"

Ye Lin did not respond, and Ling Tianba did not stay any longer. He quickly went out to arrange for people to find out who did it...

The next day.

When Mayor Fang Qishan took office, all the television stations in Ningcheng broadcast the event live.

His arrival did not have much impact on the people at the bottom of society; they just paid attention to him briefly and then continued with their own lives.

Little did they know that yesterday's major earthquake in Ningcheng resulted in the arrest of most of the people involved, but this fact was not made public.

After all, the impact is too great.

With Fang Qishan taking office, the appraisal and auction also began.

At the entrance of the venue, a steady stream of expensive cars would stop at the entrance, and each time one stopped, a well-known celebrity would get out.

Representatives from the four major families arrived.

The same applies to the other families.

The so-called appreciation auction does not involve auctioning antiques or similar items.

For people of their status, while antiques and paintings may have collectible value, they are not worth the trip.

This appraisal and auction is mainly about making independent decisions based on the policies granted by the authorities. It requires using one's own unique perspective to select which project will bring the greatest benefit to oneself. After all, Ningcheng has planned to build the largest economic zone in the future, which will naturally drive other industries. So this is the purpose that attracts them here.

Even if you don't get the lion's share, getting some soup is enough to make you feel good.

Ningcheng is only so big, and the pie is only so small. When a new project finally comes along, it will naturally attract a huge influx of people.

Choose the items you want before bidding.

Zhao Meng'er went alone, representing both the Luo family and the Zhao family. She had already learned about the situation from Luo Chen, so Luo Chen neither needed to nor could come.

If he comes, he'll definitely cause some trouble.

so.

She asked Luo Luo to keep an eye on Luo Chen.

at this time.

Luo Chen was sitting in his office, staring intently at the computer screen. To others, he appeared to be working diligently, especially as he would sometimes frown and sometimes pause, looking thoughtful.

This makes people feel that Luo Chen is considering the future of the group and thinking about how to develop it.

However, he was playing Minesweeper.

He frowns when he accidentally clicks on a mine, and pauses when he doesn't know which tile to click.

Luo Luo, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, frowned deeply!

If it weren't for being able to hear Luo Chen's inner thoughts, one might actually have been fooled by his current appearance.

The dignified young master of the Luo family and president of the Luo Corporation is actually neglecting his duties and playing Minesweeper.

How embarrassing would that be if word got out?

Luo Chen peered through the computer screen, peeking out half his head at Luo Luo sitting on the sofa, feeling utterly puzzled.

[Is this brat so free today? She's just stayed here the whole time and won't let me move around. What's she up to?]

Luo Luo tightened her grip on the book and glanced at her coldly.

Luo Chen quickly shrank back and continued to pretend to be working diligently.

After a while, Luo Chen started to get bored. Usually, he could pass the time by himself with other things, but today, with Luo Luo here, he couldn't do the same as usual.

Time was agonizing.

[I'm so bored. When is that brat leaving? I want to sneak out too. I'm practically turning into mold here.]
