Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 308: Chapter 307: Helping Whom After All

”In my early years, I received kindness from Old Master Zhou, so the Zhou Family asked me to preside over this auction. I came to Nanluo City in advance because I wanted to familiarize myself with the venue.”

Zhou Wangkun could not help but sigh, ”But I didn’t expect that I would fall into such a big trap here. The person scheming against me from behind is truly no simple character!”

”The person behind the scenes may not necessarily be targeting you...” Su Yang said slowly, ”Or maybe, their goal is the Zhou Family. You said it yourself, the Zhou Family is a piece of fat meat that many have their eyes on. The person behind the scenes may not be interested in a hundred million or two hundred million, but ten billion or twenty billion, well, that’s a different story!”

”Ah?” Zhou Wangkun’s face changed instantly, ”Master Su, are you saying that the person behind the scenes is planning to make a move on this auction?”

”Hehe...” Su Yang chuckled, ”As for what is actually going on, that’s for you to figure out.”

Having said that, Su Yang turned and walked away, hands clasped behind his back. He had no interest in participating in these family feuds.

Left behind, Zhou Wangkun stood there stunned, shaking in fear. If it was really targeting the auction, that would be a major issue.

No sooner had Su Yang left the inner room than Fatty immediately ran over and threw his arm around Su Yang’s shoulder, ”Buddy, what were you two talking about?”

Su Yang felt his skin crawl and pushed Fatty’s fat hand away, his face full of disgust, ”Talk properly, don’t pull and tug, your hobbies are unique, and I’m not like you!”

”Look at you, we’re both men, what’s there to be afraid of!” Fatty glued himself to Su Yang again, his fat face almost pressed against Su Yang’s.

”Stay away from me!” Su Yang quickly dodged, ”Spit it out quickly, if you don’t talk I’m leaving!”

”No, wait!” Fatty hastily waved his hands, ”That, you... can you help Sister Liu Liu out?”

Su Yang glanced at Liu Liu and Lin Duor not far away. Lin Duor had a pale face and was looking at Su Yang with hopeful eyes.

Su Yang instantly understood what was happening, it must be Lin Duor seeking Liu Liu’s help, and Liu Liu had turned to Fatty. Fatty, wanting to show off in front of Lin Duor, had immediately agreed.

”Are you helping Sister Liu Liu or that little beauty? Make it clear!” Su Yang said with a smile.

Fatty’s face turned red unwittingly, ”Ay, no matter who it is, after all, they are our own people.”

”Oh, our own people now? When did you get so close?” Su Yang chuckled.

With her face turning red, Lin Duor, and Fatty’s face was also beet-red as he quickly waved his hands, ”Stop joking around, just tell me if you’ll help or not!”

”Since it’s our own people, of course, I’ll help!” Su Yang smiled, ”Call Ling Zi, tell him to go to the East house on the fifth floor of Building Three in the Beiyuan Residential Area, both the person and the money are inside!”

”What?” Fatty was taken aback, ”What person and money?”

”Aren’t you trying to help the Lin Family recover the money spent on the Magic Artifact?” Su Yang said, ”Go now, and you can get both the person and the money back. If you’re late, it might be too late.”

”Wow, I didn’t even mention it, and you guessed it already, you really know me too well!” Overjoyed, Fatty immediately took out his phone to call Ling Zi.

”You’re the worm in my stomach!” Su Yang retorted irritably, as Fatty had quite a sharp tongue.

Ling Zi had people spread all over Nanluo City. After receiving the call, he quickly dispatched a group from nearby. Soon after, he called back to report success, both the money and the person were recovered.

Overjoyed, Fatty excitedly told Lin Duor, ”Duor, no problem now. The money has been recovered, don’t worry!”

Lin Duor breathed a sigh of relief. Like Lin Jiang, she was also from a branch of the Lin Family. If she lost that money, even though she was not the one who lost it, she probably wouldn’t be comfortable going back. Now that it had been recovered, there was no problem.

”Brother Su, thank you so much!” Lin Duor said gratefully to Su Yang.

”No need to thank me, I’m just helping my brother,” Su Yang said with a smile.

Lin Duor understood Su Yang’s meaning and turned to Fatty, whispering, ”Brother Lü, thank you!”

”Don’t mention it, don’t mention it, we’re friends, of course, I should help you!” Fatty laughed heartily with excitement.

Lin Jiang shrank to the side, and upon hearing that the money had been found, he too was extremely excited. The anger from the beating he had received from Su Yang instantly dissipated.

Compared to this sum of money, what was a beating?

”Alright, let’s go, there’s nothing much to see here,” Su Yang said.

”Let’s go, let’s go eat,” Fatty immediately said: ”Sister Liu Liu, it’s not often you come out, for lunch today, it’s on me!”

Liu Liu glanced at Fatty, then at Lin Duor beside her, and smiled, ”Are you sure you want to treat me to lunch?”

”Of course!” Fatty patted his chest, ”What’s our relationship? I’ve been calling you Sister since we were little, treating you to a meal is totally normal!”

”Alright then, I’ll drop Duor off first, and then come to find you!” Liu Liu said with a smile.

Fatty was immediately dumbfounded. This guy’s mind wasn’t on the meal, it was all on Lin Duor. Now that Liu Liu wanted to send Lin Duor away, wasn’t this just a pitfall for him!

Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh. Liu Liu had seen through Fatty’s little tricks. Dealing with this dead Fatty required tactics like this.

As Fatty’s face almost turned the color of a pig’s liver, Liu Liu finally laughed, ”Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Duor has made a rare trip here, of course, I must have lunch with her. If you want to treat, you have to treat Duor too. How about it?”

”That’s definitely no problem!” Fatty instantly broke into a broad smile.

”Let’s go, Su Yang, join us!” Liu Liu called out.

”Okay!” Su Yang nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned towards Lin Jiang, giving the young man quite a scare.

”I...I won’t dare anymore...” Lin Jiang’s lips trembled.

”Hehe...” Su Yang smiled, and patted Lin Jiang’s shoulder, ”Not hitting you anymore, but next time you see me, remember to behave yourself.”

For such a small character, Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to hold much of a grudge, just making him feel afraid was enough.

Lin Jiang nodded repeatedly, bowing, ”Young Master Su.”

Su Yang smiled faintly, ”Also, here’s a piece of news for you. So many counterfeits being sold in this one shop, don’t you think that’s a problem with the owner? Today’s situation, you’re lucky the money was recovered, huh!”

Lin Jiang’s expression changed dramatically, he fiercely turned to the shop owner, his teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

He had just been worrying about where to vent his anger, and Su Yang’s remark provided him with a target.

Indeed, with so many counterfeits appearing in the same shop, the owner definitely couldn’t escape responsibility. Just as Su Yang said, today they were lucky the money was recovered. If not, those forty-five million could have ruined his career!

Su Yang left with a light smile, but the shop owner was dumbfounded. This incident spelled doom for him, didn’t it?

As Lin Jiang approached with a furious momentum, the shop owner’s lips trembled, and he quickly said, ”You...listen to my explanation, this matter...really has nothing to do with me...”

”Explain to your grandpa!” Lin Jiang roared angrily, and directed several of his men, ”Hold him down for me!”
