The Baonai Auction House was not part of the Lan Clan's business. Lan Sinian had no idea what the other party was trying to buy from the auction house, and was worried about alerting the enemy. So, after they arrived at the auction house, they simply said they were interested in a classic training mecha for their young children. The auction house manager immediately knew it was a gift for the young prince and didn't think much of it.

"Your Majesty really loves your son dearly. Many celebrities used this limited edition mecha to awaken their bloodline back then. It's a pity that it has been discontinued. If Your Majesty can buy this one for the little prince to use, I believe the little prince will become a remarkable figure in the future." The person in charge of the auction house recognized Lan Sinian and spoke flattering words without even thinking.

Lan Sinian nodded coldly, and then confirmed the various data of the mecha with him before being led by the waiter to a VIP box.

"Do you really want to take a picture of that mecha?" Qin Changqing asked curiously after seeing Lan Sinian send the waiter away.

"Yes, I should have bought it a long time ago, but I just couldn't find the right one." Lan Sinian was very concerned about Qin Xu's situation. "Although the item being auctioned isn't brand new, this one is indeed the most suitable for training cubs that awaken late. The chance of accidents is very low, and it has an excellent reputation."

Qin Changqing wanted to ask more, but because they arrived a little late and the auction had already started, he stopped talking and concentrated on listening to the information about various products.

A total of 13 items will be sold in this round. The 13th item, which is also the final item, is exactly what is written on the "Snake Skin". The beauties are required to buy it no matter how much it costs and try to take it back. Qin Changqing is also very curious about what it is.

Lan Sinian was quite calm. Besides the training mecha, he had also managed to buy several other luxury items, purely decorative items with no practical application. He adorned his queen with them, then rested his chin on his hand to admire them. His queen looked beautiful in everything she wore! Qin Changqing felt a headache—the world of the wealthy was truly incomprehensible.

After more than ten rounds, it was finally the turn of item No. 13.

The host smiled and said on the stage in the middle: "Product No. 13 is an undeveloped mineral vein in the Imperial Star Region..."

Lan Sinian frowned and stood up from his chair. Qin Changqing asked in surprise, "Isn't that right?" The mineral vein was obviously something that couldn't be taken away.

Lan Sinian's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "The item has been replaced."

Qin Changqing was startled and quickly stood up, then was pulled out of the box by Lan Sinian.

The two of them strode away from the waiter who followed them and quickly walked out of the VIP channel. As they walked out, they saw a fat man walking out of the side door of the auction house they had just been in, holding something in his hand. In the distance, they could vaguely see the number 13 on the plate.

The fat man had stuffed the things into his clothes when he walked out of the door, and then he quickly went around to another special passage at a speed that was inconsistent with his fat body, and soon disappeared.

When Lan Sinian pulled Qin Changqing and ran over, they were still a step too late. The special passage slowly closed in front of them, and they had no way to go!

"Tsk, it was taken away by that fat guy!" Lan Sinian looked a little impatient. He turned on the communicator and asked Shenhai to check the bottom of the Baonai Auction House.

The Snake Clan's actions, the sudden replacement of the auction item, and Blood Rose's hint seemed to make everything confusing. Neither of them knew if these events were truly connected. If so, how did they relate to the Dragon Fish Clan?

Lan Sinian's face was very solemn. He turned around and saw Qin Changqing's thoughtful expression. He asked in surprise, "Did you remember something?"

Qin Changqing thought for a while before saying, "Maybe I know this fat guy."

"Huh?" Lan Sinian looked at him in surprise.

Qin Changqing said: "I'll contact someone first."

Qin Changqing then got confirmation from Xitu that this person was the fat rich businessman Warren whom he had met when he went to the police station with Xitu.

Although Warren lives on the Imperial Star, he is not a member of the Lan clan. However, as long as he is on the Imperial Star, Lan Sinian will naturally be able to find him.

Because of the lesson of Shaman being killed under his nose, Lan Sinian did not wait this time. After finding out his identity, he directly ordered the arrest of the fat rich businessman.

After leaving the auction house, the fat rich businessman went straight to the star port, but when he was undergoing identity verification, he was stopped and then taken away by the soldiers waiting there.

"What are you going to do to me?!" The fat rich businessman was very dissatisfied and wanted to use his superpowers to shake off the soldiers, but the soldiers arranged this time were all royal special guards. Warren, who had neglected training in superpowers, was no match for them at all and was quickly subdued and brought back to the palace.

Warren was very surprised when he saw Lansnian. He had seen the photo of the Emperor, but he and his family only traveled on the trade route and did not think they would have much intersection with the almighty Emperor.

"What did you take away from the Baonai Auction House?" Lan Sinian asked straight to the point.

"What? I don't understand what you are saying." Warren's eyes, squinted by the squeeze, rolled around, and it was obvious that he didn't tell the truth.

Lan Sinian sneered, asked once and didn't ask any more questions, and directly threw the man into the deep sea.

Warren was searched when he was brought to the palace, but they did not find auction item No. 13 on him, and no one knew where he had hidden it.

Qin Changqing thought of what he'd seen on Warren's shoulder: a tiny, pale parasite called a "black monkey." Unlike the parasites he'd seen on other manic patients, with their mouthparts inserted into their heads, it lay clinging to Warren's fat head, gazing at him with lustful eyes, unsure of what was going on. A little worried, he recounted his vision to Lan Sinian.

"I suspect that Warren has actually been infected with mania for a long time, or someone has infected him with mania, but it's not yet time for the other party to want him to go crazy." Qin Changqing guessed.

Lan Sinian narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up.

He called Shao and ordered, "Go and bring his family here."

"yes."

Shao Ou took the order and left. Qin Changqing frowned and asked, "What did you think of?"

Lan Sinian was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Honey, what do you think we should do with the garbage after we use it?"

"Throw it away, get rid of it, ah, you mean that some people are using Warren to do things, and after he finishes this matter, let him die of mania?!" Qin Changqing was shocked. This method was simply perfect and extremely cold-blooded.

Lan Sinian smiled and nodded. "They might have a way to control mania, and even use it to get rid of useless people without anyone noticing. It's a pity that even with their meticulous planning, they still managed to overlook my dear's abilities." He turned around and gave Her Majesty the Queen a big kiss on the cheek, smiling, "My dear, you really are my lucky star!"

Qin Changqing slapped the person away in disdain, "Just talk nicely, why are you kissing me?"

"My dear, you are so beautiful and delicious, I can't help it." His Majesty the Emperor was serious for a while, but quickly became frivolous again.

"Get out of the way. You have no shame, but I still have some."

"No……"

The two were entangled when Shaou, who had just gone to Warren's house, sent a message.

"Your Majesty, the Warrens are all crazy!"

Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian looked at each other, and without caring about the quarrel, they hurried to Warren's house.

Although Warren was not a nobleman, his family was very large. At this moment, all of them were infected with mania and started fighting with each other, and the whole house was in chaos.

Qin Changqing didn't have time to give each of them acupuncture treatment, so he quickly had his men cordon off his house with red thread, then slashed the monsters one by one with a knife, quickly solving the problem. Of course, in order to hide Qin Changqing's secret, all of this was done in person with Lan Sinian personally accompanying him after he had sent the men away, with no one else present.

Meanwhile, Warren, who had been thrown into the deep sea by Lan Sinian, still hadn't spoken a word about the whereabouts of his belongings. Qin Changqing hadn't expected that this man, who looked so fat and so afraid of death, could still be so prudent.

"He's probably worried that he'll die if he confesses everything." Lan Sinian snorted coldly at the people in the interrogation room and walked straight in.

In the interrogation room, Warren was sweating profusely from the pain, and collapsed on the ground like a dead pig. He squinted his eyes as Lan Sinian walked in, gasping for breath and saying, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you want me to confess. I'm just an honest businessman..."

Lan Sinian, wearing military boots and with his hands behind his back, stepped on the ground not far from his head, slowly circling. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "You're still so talkative. It seems you can still hold out for another round."

Warren: “…”

Lan Sinian then signaled Shen Hai to continue to torture him until he was completely exhausted and unable to argue anymore. Then he slowly said, "Something big happened in your family today."

When Warren heard the name of his family, his body trembled.

Lan Sinian seemed satisfied with his reaction and continued, "It seems that you care about your family very much. Guess what happened in your family?"

Warren really had no strength left this time. He struggled and said, "Your Majesty... your crime... your family is not as guilty..."

"You're right." Lan Sinian nodded, gave him a meaningful look, and then said slowly, "However, as the emperor, I always abide by the law, but the people you're relying on don't seem to be..."

Warren's eyes, which had been narrowed due to obesity, suddenly widened as Lan Sinian continued, "For some unknown reason, your family members were all infected with mania. They all went crazy when the soldiers rushed over, and you have also been infected with mania..."

"What?!!!" Warren squeezed out two words from his throat with difficulty, and because he was too frightened, his shrill voice almost turned into a scream.

…

When Warren was finally released, he was still in a state of panic. He was afraid of nothing in his life except mania. He had witnessed a manic mutant brutally dismembering their friends and family without regard for their relatives... The thought of his entire family being infected with this disease made his entire body itch and ache, and he wished that this thing would completely disappear from the world.

"Is it done?" asked Qin Changqing who was waiting outside, and Lan Sinian nodded.

Hearing this slightly familiar voice, Warren looked up with great effort, and recognized Qin Changqing at a glance! He still remembered that this man had given him a cinnabar jade yesterday, which was said to have a protective effect against mania. Suddenly realizing that he had also contracted mania but had not gone crazy, it was probably because of this thing. He was like seeing a family member, and almost rushed over to hug him and burst into tears, expressing his gratitude.

Lan Sinian kicked the person aside in disgust to prevent any dirty things from touching his beloved queen.

"... Benefactor, benefactor!" Warren, who had been kicked aside, didn't care at all. He rushed over and hugged Qin Changqing's thighs. At this moment, Qin Changqing looked like a Buddha statue that could ward off evil spirits, and like an angel bathed in holy light! Who else should he hug if not him?

He rolled on the ground like a fat worm. Not only Lan Sinian, but also Qin Changqing was disgusted. He glanced at the cinnabar jade still on his wrist, cleared his throat and said, "You don't need to say anything. Just give me the money. There are 86 people in your family. One cinnabar jade for each person, 200,000 each, a total of 17.2 million. No discount. Do you want to pay by bank transfer or cash?"

Warren's crying stopped immediately. Didn't they say yesterday that it was only worth 100,000 yuan each? How come the price has increased so quickly?
