For example, they hired online trolls to spread bad rumors about Dragon and Tiger, but after those two previous incidents, most people online believed in Dragon and Tiger, so the rumors collapsed without any effort.

In reality, things didn't go smoothly either. Someone tried to break into Dragon and Tiger's long-term warehouse in the dead of night. Fortunately, the warehouse was well-guarded, and the intruder was forced to retreat empty-handed.

Although there were many similar incidents, nothing major happened, and everything was handled appropriately.

Ling Zhenfei was satisfied with the result. Now, it was time for the auction, a day of great importance.

If this auction succeeded, Dragon and Tiger would solidify its position as the top auction house in the Provincial City. As long as there were no mishaps, they could easily outshine Zongheng International.

Moreover, Ling Zhenfei's items were sure to fetch high prices. This money could alleviate the urgent crisis facing the estate. According to Ling Zhenfei's estimate, his items could easily bring in over a hundred million. Whether this number could be reached depended on the pre-auction publicity.

It was already afternoon by the time he reached the auction venue. There were still a few hours before the auction started. By then, the auction house was bustling with activity and very lively.

With nothing to do, Ling Zhenfei found a quiet spot to sit and rest. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Si Mayang. Ling Zhenfei answered, and he could hear Si Mayang's anxious voice.

"Mr. Ling Zhenfei, aren't you making things difficult for me? I've heard that a lot of people have their eyes on that Seven-Colored Flower in this auction."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "Of course. Such a precious natural treasure wouldn't have been up for auction in the past. Now that it is, it's naturally attracting a lot of interest."

Si Mayang, sounding a bit angry, said, "Divine Doctor Ling, you must be joking. With so many people competing, what if I can't get it?"

"This is an auction house. As long as you have the money and determination, there's no way you won't win. Let me ask you, do you want to cure your precious one or not?"

"Of course I do. I dream about it," Si Mayang said excitedly.

"If you dream about it, find a way to buy it. Don't worry about the money. The importance of this should be clear without me explaining it," Ling Zhenfei kindly reminded him.

After hearing this, Si Mayang's voice finally calmed down. "Alright, I understand. I will definitely get this spiritual medicine."

After they hung up, Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly. Si Mayang was a meticulous planner, unwilling to bleed even when desperate for a cure. Ling Zhenfei remembered how Si Mayang tried to confront him back in the Capital City. Today, he would make Si Mayang bleed.

With nothing else to do, he thought about his estate. He wondered what changes had occurred over these days and quickly called Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun seemed very happy to hear his voice.

"Zhenfei, when are you coming back? It's been many days."

"Sister-in-law, I'll be back in a few days. I really have something to do this time. How is the estate now?"

Zhou Yun's voice showed concern for Ling Zhenfei. After some warm exchange, she said, "Everything is fine at the estate, especially under President Chen's leadership. The progress is very fast, and the changes are so significant that you might not even recognize it when you return."

"As long as there's no trouble. If there's any issue, call me immediately."

Zhou Yun then worriedly asked, "Zhenfei, you all are expanding so much now. Do we have that much money?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. We won't live like we used to. I'll make sure you live better and better, following the life of our dreams. And remember not to wear yourself out. The good days are ahead."

Zhou Yun happily said, "I'm not tired. I'm very happy every day. By the way, we're selecting a new village head soon, and your name is on the list. Is that your intention?"

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to tell Zhou Yun about Long Hai, which finally reassured her.

Zhou Yun said, "So that's it. If you become the village head, that's good. I trust you, and you can lead the villagers to a better life."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll be back in a few days."

After chatting for a while, Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun ended the call. He knew his sister-in-law cared deeply for him, and his long absence must have caused her much concern.

Holding his phone, Ling Zhenfei contacted Liu Bingying and others, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He genuinely missed them, leading to longer conversations. By the time he finished chatting with everyone, it was already dark.

Bai Ling came to inform him that everything was ready, and the auction could start at any time.

Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling went to a private room on the second floor, specially reserved for him. From there, he had a clear view of the hall below.

By this time, the main hall on the first floor was already packed. Many journalists were there, adjusting their cameras.

Due to the massive online attention, reporters were there to get firsthand information.

There were also many people ready to live stream the event. With the rise of live streaming, this was excellent publicity for the auction, and Ling Zhenfei specifically arranged not to stop them.

All the private rooms on the second floor were occupied by major clients. It was impossible for someone with less money to sit there, so Ling Zhenfei's items were most likely to be bought by the people in the private rooms.

Ling Zhenfei was sure that Si Mayang was in one of those rooms, although he didn't know which one and didn't bother to find out.

The auction house was decorated more delicately than when Ling Zhenfei last saw it. As the time approached, the lights on the auction stage came on, drawing everyone's attention.

Then, they saw Su Xi coming from the backstage to the auction stage, with all the lights directed at him.

Because today was so important, Su Xi's personal appearance showed how much he valued this event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for attending this year's Dragon and Tiger Auction House's autumn auction. I am Su Xi, the host of this auction. Today, I am honored to witness this significant event in auction history, as our auction house has initiated the auction of Spiritual Aura Items for the first time."

"We have many items up for auction today, especially some provided exclusively by Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei. I believe everyone is very eager, and many are here specifically for these items, so let's not waste any more time and get started."
