Jumping straight from a starting bid of 100,000 to a staggering 50 million!
This crushing bid completely shattered Qin Ziang's last shred of hope.
His companions around him also instantly fell dead silent.
At this point, it was no longer just a simple matter of fighting for face; it was about being completely ground into the dirt by the opponent's absolute power.
At the manager's signal, the auctioneer, as if afraid the bidder would back out, hastily shouted, "Fifty million going once! Fifty million going twice! Fifty million going three times! Sold! Congratulations to this lady!"
The moment the gavel fell, the entire venue erupted in gasps of disbelief.
"Did... did I hear that right? Fifty million? It actually sold?"
"Crazy! Everyone's fucking crazy! Fifty million for a bottle of wine! How many supercars could that buy!"
"Did you guys see the manager's expression during the capital verification just now? He looked like he'd seen a ghost. What exactly is the background of that black card?"
"I have a feeling that beauty in black isn't just rich; her background probably isn't simple either."
"Old Li, you deal with financial institutions all year round. Did you see anything special about that black card?"
"It had a dark gold dragon pattern on the edge. If I remember correctly, that seems to be a 'Dragon' tier no-limit black card. I've only seen a big shot present a similar card at a high-level company gathering the year before last. At the time, even our CEO personally accompanied him, acting extremely respectful."
"Hiss... A 'Dragon' tier no-limit black card. It seems this beauty has quite the background."
"Just keep it to yourself, whatever you do, don't say it out loud. But Qin Ziang, this Emperor of Modu, really kicked an iron plate today. He's completely become a clown."
"Yeah, do you think Young Master Qin will actually go streaking?"
"Not gonna lie, I really want to see if this guy's ass is pale or not." As the customer spoke, he even made a slurping sound.
"???"
"Comrade, are you from CD?"
Qin Ziang and his companions had long lost their previous arrogance; each of their faces was blacker than the bottom of a pot.
"Young Master Qin, you... you aren't really going to streak on the Bund, are you?"
"Do we have a choice? Or should we just call the police? Just say we want to go to jail and drop the soap."
"Get lost!"
"..."
Over at the Yunshan Club's side.
Even though the group was already worth billions, they were still shocked by Liu Yutong's lavish spending. But more than that, they felt a thrilling sense of vindication.
What they wanted was to crush him!
That bastard Qin Ziang always felt he was superior because he was a local of Modu, but now wasn't he being ruthlessly ground into the dirt by outsiders like them?
The manager brought the wine over. Shen Hao excitedly took the bottle worth fifty million, stroked it, and looked at Liu Yutong: "Sister Yutong, this wine..."
Liu Yutong said, "Open it and pour everyone a glass. We have to celebrate our victory."
"Sister Yutong is so generous!"
"Thank you, Sister Yutong!"
"........"
Bai Shi was even more excited: "Sister Yutong, you're amazing! The way Qin Ziang looked just now, haha, I bet he'll have to take a detour whenever he sees you in Modu from now on."
Zhu Silin also pursed her lips and smiled: "Now the Emperor of Modu is really going to be world-famous, just in a different way."
Gu Yebai and Zhou Muchen exchanged a smile, raising their glasses to Liu Yutong.
Everything was understood without being said.
At this moment, someone from a booth who didn't mind making a scene suddenly shouted loudly to stir the pot.
"Young Master Qin, they're already drinking the wine! When is your healthy jog around the Bund going to start? We're all waiting to take pictures!"
"Yeah, admit defeat when you lose a bet! Emperor of Modu, show us your imperial demeanor!"
"Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"
"......."
The jeers grew in number and volume.
Qin Ziang couldn't take it anymore. He fiercely grabbed a wine glass from the table and smashed it hard on the ground!
Crash!
"Fuck! This is going too far!"
"Beat them up for me! If anything happens, I'll take the fall!"
As soon as his voice fell, Qin Ziang led his companions and a few underlings, charging toward the Yunshan Club group.
"Protect Sister Yutong!"
Gu Yebai shouted loudly, standing up simultaneously with Shen Hao and Zhou Muchen to meet them head-on.
The sounds of wine glasses, tables, and chairs being smashed rang out incessantly.
The scene instantly descended into chaos!
Just as Qin Ziang led a few underlings past Gu Yebai and the others toward Liu Yutong, a figure suddenly cut in front of him. Lan Die made her move.
She didn't hold back at all; her strikes were dirty and ruthless.
The three or four underlings who lunged forward from Qin Ziang's side were actually all knocked to the ground in a mere ten seconds.
Everyone was stunned by the woman's terrifying combat skills.
Qin Ziang also watched in disbelief as his underlings fell like they were made of paper.
"Trash! A bunch of trash! You can't even handle one woman!"
Qin Ziang was trembling with anger. In a fit of rage, he actually grabbed a wine bottle himself and charged recklessly toward Liu Yutong.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
"Qin Ziang, don't you dare!" Gu Yebai and the others were both shocked and furious, but it was too late to turn back and stop him.
On the other side, Lan Die didn't try to stop him either.
Just a useless second-generation rich kid; he posed no threat to the eldest miss.
Just as Qin Ziang approached Liu Yutong, she finally moved.
She didn't even stand up completely from the sofa. She merely uncrossed her casually resting legs and gently set them down. Her body swayed like a willow branch brushed by the wind, dodging slightly to the side, causing Qin Ziang's downward smash with the wine bottle to miss completely.
As Qin Ziang rushed forward due to momentum, a hint of bewilderment had just risen in his heart when his wrist suddenly tightened.
Liu Yutong's fingers had somehow locked onto the wrist holding the bottle. The touch carried a slight coolness, but the force was bizarre. Qin Ziang only felt his entire arm instantly go numb and sore, as if hit by an electric current, and his fingers involuntarily let go.
Clatter!
The wine bottle fell onto the carpet, making a muffled sound.
It all happened too fast. In the eyes of the bystanders, they only saw Qin Ziang lunging fiercely, while the woman in black seemed to just tilt her body slightly, reaching out to grab and pull. The aggressive Qin Ziang was like a clumsy puppet being casually manipulated.
Qin Ziang was both shocked and angry. He subconsciously clenched his other hand into a fist and swung it at her.
Liu Yutong immediately used the fingers clamping his wrist to nimbly press down. Borrowing the momentum of Qin Ziang's forward charge, she pulled him to her side and somehow hooked his foot.
Qin Ziang felt the world spin, and then with a loud thud, his body slammed heavily onto the floor below the booth, letting out a miserable shriek.
The entire bar fell into a deathly silence.
If Lan Die's previous moves were fierce and ruthless, making people feel terrified, then Liu Yutong's personal intervention gave off a special sense of beauty. She effortlessly threw such a large man off the platform.
"Hiss~~~~"
Someone gasped, breaking the silence.
"Did you see clearly? How did she do that?"
"I didn't see clearly. It looked like she just touched him twice, and Young Master Qin went flying on his own?"
"What do you mean flying on his own? That's using the opponent's strength against them! This beauty is actually a trained martial artist."
"Oh my god, she's gorgeous, filthy rich, has an unfathomable background, and can fight like a pro? Is she even giving anyone else a chance to survive?"
"That move just now was pretty badass, and her form was actually really graceful."
"Qin Zi'ang really crashed and burned this time. Looks, money, power, and combat skills—he was completely and utterly crushed by a woman in every possible way. It's tragic!"
"I'm actually starting to pity him now, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Gu Yebai, Shen Hao, and the others were also stunned for a moment. They truly hadn't expected her to be hiding such a formidable skill.
Thank goodness they had chosen to befriend her from the start. If they had been any more arrogant back then, their fate probably wouldn't have been much better than Qin Zi'ang's.
Right at that moment, another group of people appeared at the entrance of the bar. Leading the pack was a middle-aged man in a suit. It was none other than Qin Zi'ang's father, the Chairman of Zhenhua Capital—Qin Zhenhua!
