Chapter 23: A Great Deal

ou're dead today."Although Hong Biao was covered in blood, his face remained incredibly ferocious.Because he was sure that as long as his backers arrived, Luo Chen would be doomed.Luochin is indeed ve...One million, I'll take it.

As soon as these words were spoken, although no one knew who was inside the private room, the entire auction hall fell silent.

Wow, someone actually wants this

Does anyone really fear death so little

To know that it had already claimed the lives of three developers!

All present are prominent figures, each with their own strength and influence. None would back down in a test of will or capability. Yet, even this group of Tongzhou's elite dare not touch this hot potato.

Not even the Ye family would dare to do this.

But now, someone actually took it

However, everyone only dared to mock inwardly, because those who could afford to sit in the private room here were undoubtedly of high status and standing. At least on the surface, no one dared to say anything out of line.

But in another private room, a young woman spoke up with a smile.

"Heh heh, that's interesting. If he hadn't died, I would have definitely wanted to get to know him."

While Luo Chen was inside the private room, Ye Shuangshuang on his side looked at him with an unbelievable expression.

Everyone knew at the time that pork belly was a highly profitable business, but even her grandfather dared not venture into it!

"Teacher But that's..."

"It's fine, I'll take it." Luo Chen waved his hand, not afraid at all.

Others may not dare to take it, but Luo Chen is not afraid.

There must be some evil spirits there. For other people, that place is unapproachable and they dare not touch it.

But for the illustrious Immortal Venerable Luochin, what are a few ghosts to fear

Acquiring the Tongzhou land for a mere one million, which was once worth hundreds of millions, is an incredible bargain for Luo Chen.

And those buildings are practically finished, just some finishing touches left. It wouldn't take much more investment at all. Once we deal with the ghosts, a little hype and promotion, the amount of money that place could make would be beyond anything an ordinary person could imagine.

Of course, Luochen chose that place not because of the money, but for other reasons.

However, this comes with its own value, and it's definitely a big pie!

But Ye Zhengtian looked at Luo Chen, feeling that he was becoming more and more unfathomable.

After successfully acquiring the land, the handover process still takes a few days. Ye Family assigned someone to handle these matters for Luo Chen.

Of course, the one million was paid by Lu Chen himself.

When he left the county town, his father had taken out loans and borrowed from everyone to help him get by.

This money was originally intended to be given to Luochin so that he could use it as the initial capital.

In her past life, this money was swindled away by Zhang Xiaoman's mother. This time around, such a thing naturally couldn't happen again.

And next up is the auction of some rough stones.

or calling it "gambling for jade" would be more accurate.

However, while the Taiping Classic can sense the year something was created, it cannot determine if there is good jade inside a stone.

Ye Zhengtian turned his gaze to Lu Chen, inquiring about Lu Chen's intentions.

"Not yet."

Hearing this, Ye Zhengtian and Ye Shuangshuang's eyes widened suddenly.

They thought Luochin would simply shake his head, but they were surprised when he said "not yet." This was quite unexpected.

You know, that's jade.

"Could it be, Teacher, that you still possess the ability of clairvoyance" Ye Shuangshuang couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out.

"Perhaps in a few days, we can then join in the excitement." Luo Chen looked down at the ore auction below, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation.

Back at the hotel, Luo Chen saw that it wasn't too late. He took light steps and headed towards Panlong Bay in the back mountains.

He wants to see what kind of monsters are lurking here!

Having climbed over the wall, Luo Chen easily arrived at this neighborhood in Panlong Bay. However, even before entering, Luo Chen sensed something was amiss.

There is a heavy sense of evil here, not just an eerie feeling, but true malevolent energy!

Panlong Bay, as its name suggests, has mountains that resemble a coiled dragon. This residential area is built right on the head of the dragon.

Luochen values this place greatly because it can be used to set up a large gathering spirit array based on the terrain!

"That's interesting," Luo Chen flipped it open and glanced at it casually. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. If an ordinary person encountered this kind of thing, they would have been scared out of their wits, but Luo Chen found it rather interesting.

In front of the residential complex are rows of high-rise buildings, while behind it are rows of villas.

Night had fallen, devoid of any glimmer, not even a single star was visible. And this was the highest point in all of Tongzhou, you'd think one could see the lights from afar down below, but here it was pitch black.

Luo Chen walked towards the villa area, but after walking around, he actually ended up back where he started.

"Boy, who let you in here" A middle-aged man wearing a security guard uniform and smoking a cigarette suddenly walked over.

"You young people shouldn't be running around here at night, let me tell you, this place is not clean at night. Let's go out together." The security guard didn't know if it was because he had a kind heart or for some other reason.

Luo Chen didn't respond, but followed the security guard behind him. However, something was amiss. Logically, they should go out through the main gate, but the security guard led Luo Chen deeper inside.

"No way! This road!"

"The main gate is locked now, we can only go through the back door. Don't talk too much, follow me closely. Whatever you see, don't look back. This place is really haunted, several of my brothers died here." The security guard reminded kindly.

Pass by the apartment buildings, and at the back are the villas.

Now, fire is actually lighting up.

An old woman in front muttered to herself, constantly saying "eat more, eat more" while throwing paper into the fire.

"Oh my god, you old hag! What are you doing burning paper at this hour Put it out right now!"

The security guard saw someone burning paper, of course they had to stop them, what if it started a fire

But the old woman acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing to burn paper with her head bowed, muttering over and over, "Eat more, eat more."

"Forget it, probably his son is working here and gave him a heads up," The security guard scolded a few words, seeing the old woman rambling, he didn't continue to scold her, probably afraid of trouble.

Just as he passed by the old woman, she suddenly stood up and spoke to Luo Chen.

"Young man, where are you going"

"Hey boy, don't leave, don't leave, he's a ghost!" the old woman suddenly grinned, revealing her yellow teeth.

"Dead old woman, what nonsense are you talking about" the security guard frowned and said.

And Luo Chen looked at the security guard, then glanced at the old woman.

Actually, there's no doubt that the old woman is a ghost. And not only that, but this security guard is also a ghost.

When a ghost walks, its heels don't touch the ground. Luo Chen had just seen it.

Just as Luo Chen was about to expose the two ghosts, suddenly two powerful bolts of lightning struck.

Raise your hands!

In the flash of lightning, the old woman burning paper had vanished, leaving only the security guard and Luo Chen.

It was as if the old woman had never appeared at all.

And facing them came three people in police uniforms.

One of them was tall and thin, with a hint of coldness on his face.

The other was a woman, even under the cover of night, it seemed impossible to conceal the beauty and spirit on her face. Her fair skin had an air of noble and cold elegance.

What amused Luo Chen the most was the last one. He was a policeman with a pale face and a gloomy expression, but Luo Chen couldn't help but smirk because the last policeman also had his heels raised.

Luo Chen looked at this lineup, things were getting more and more interesting. just an ordinary office worker, and that his life wouldn't amount to much. But nowIt's Luo Chen who is out of her league, not the other way around.Zhang Xiaoman's eyes were filled with tears. This ma...
