"This guy actually knows how to take action!"

Mingyue watched Ye Luo make his move and let out a slight breath of relief. Although she was quite dissatisfied with this guy, she had to admit that his strength was indeed formidable.

While a fierce battle unfolded inside the auction hall, outside the business building, the police and security personnel had no idea that enemies had infiltrated the hall. Hindered by the sniper, they remained in hiding, waiting for police reinforcement.

"Emissary, they haven’t come out yet. They must have encountered trouble inside."

Across from the building, a figure in a black robe stood, the Emissary of the Maple Leaf Organization. A man dressed in black quickly approached him and reported.

For a moment, the Emissary’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, ready to head towards the opposite side, when suddenly the sound of sirens blared, and police cars arrived. Following them, a wave of special forces armed with shields and submachine guns burst out, surrounding the business building.

"Have them retreat!"

The black-robed Emissary commanded, then left the scene at once.

"Captain, you’ve arrived!"

The sighting of Yang Bingning brought out the police who had been hiding.

"What’s the situation?"

Yang Bingning asked in a deep voice.

"There’s a sniper nearby; we didn’t dare to act rashly."

"How’s the situation inside?"

"It’s unclear; I’ll ask now."

The deputy captain said, taking out his walkie-talkie and asking, "How’s your situation there?"

However, there was no response from the walkie-talkie, causing the deputy captain’s expression to change.

Yang Bingning’s expression darkened as she ordered, "Follow me inside."

With that, the group charged into the building and headed straight for the auction hall.

Inside the auction hall, the one-armed man in black suddenly received an instruction through his wireless earpiece. He promptly announced, "Everyone, retreat."

Immediately, the group rushed outside, and the people present let out sighs of relief.

Quickly after that, Yang Bingning led her team inside and, upon witnessing the scene, her expression changed. Then her gaze fell on Ye Luo, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes.

"I’m the Chief of the Criminal Police at the Zhonghai Police Bureau. What’s the situation here?"

Yang Bingning asked directly, her face stern.

"Captain Yang, hello."

At that moment, Chen Baoshan slowly walked over.

"Mr. Chen!"

Seeing Chen Baoshan, Yang Bingning called out with a note of respect.

"Just now, a group of people broke in, trying to kidnap Miss Shi. Fortunately, Mr. Ye stopped them, and they have just escaped," Chen Baoshan stated calmly.

"Immediately, start a search of the entire building. We must find that group of people."

Yang Bingning’s face grew stern, her eyes flashing with determination as she ordered her subordinates. At once, the team began searching the building with their weapons at the ready.

"Miss Shi, are you alright? It’s our failure to protect you."

Yang Bingning looked at Shi Yanran and expressed her concern.

"It’s okay, I’m fine, but I owe my thanks to this gentleman," Shi Yanran replied with a calm demeanor, smiling faintly and turning her attention to Ye Luo.

"It seems you’ve done a good thing."

Yang Bingning looked at Ye Luo and pursed her lips, saying,

"How come you say it’s like I did one good deed? I often do good deeds."

Ye Luo couldn’t help but defend himself.

"Alright, everyone, that concludes today’s auction. For any alarm caused, Chen expresses his apologies. At tonight’s banquet, I will properly apologize to everyone."

Chen Baoshan said to those present.

Afterward, everyone at the scene, shielded by the police, started leaving one after another, still shocked by the day’s auction.

"Mr. Ye, please come with me to collect the items you’ve won."

Chen Baoshan said to Ye Luo.

"Mr. Chen, you’re too kind."

Ye Luo smiled slightly and then followed Chen Baoshan.

"Big brother, I see you again."

At that moment, Chen Baoshan’s granddaughter darted in front of Ye Luo, her fair and delicate face wearing a faint smile. Although she was only about fifteen or sixteen, she was already showing the charm of a beautiful woman.

"Yes, little sister, I still don’t know your name?"

Ye Luo asked the girl curiously.

"Big brother, my name is Chen Qianqian, you can just call me Qianqian."

Chen Qianqian said to Ye Luo with a smiling face.

"Big brother, your martial arts are really amazing!"

Chen Qianqian looked at Ye Luo with eyes full of admiration.

"Haha, Qianqian, please don’t bother Mr. Ye anymore."

At that moment, Chen Baoshan intervened, as the middle-aged man beside him was already coming over with the Lover’s Heart and the Star of God.

"Mr. Chen, in the future you can just call me Ye Luo, there’s no need to be so formal. Also, I want to mention that the price of these two items has already exceeded one billion, and I currently still have..."

Ye Luo said straightforwardly to Chen Baoshan, his thick-skinned demeanor bearing no sign of embarrassment.

"I understand, Ye Luo. You can just take these two items."

Chen Baoshan said with a smile.

"This doesn’t seem quite right!"

Upon hearing Chen Baoshan’s offer, Ye Luo felt a bit embarrassed, considering the combined value of the two items had already exceeded one billion.

"No worries, Mingzhu Group can handle this expense. Besides, you cured my heart disease, and that’s something money can’t replace."

"Then, thank you, Mr. Chen."

Without any further courtesy, Ye Luo accepted the two items, especially feeling a rush of pure Spiritual Energy entering his body from the Star of God, stimulating his Nine Yang True Qi to circulate.

Indeed it was a Spirit Stone, and judging by its appearance, it was a top-quality one at that. The Spiritual Energy inside was enough to help Ye Luo break through to the Innate Realm.

After securing these items, Ye Luo took out a yellow elixir from his bosom and handed it to Chen Baoshan.

"Mr. Chen, I may be thick-faced, but you have helped me quite a lot, so I can’t owe you too much. This elixir is called Blood Pill. After taking it, it can nourish your body, making it free from illness and prolonging your life by decades. It’s one of my treasured elixirs, something ordinary people definitely can’t get."

Ye Luo said with a look of regret, as this elixir was created after a sizeable effort in the mountains, and he would normally be loath to give it away. If it weren’t for Mr. Chen’s kindness towards him, he would not have readily parted with it.

Hearing Ye Luo’s words, Chen Baoshan looked at the elixir in his hand, his face revealing a delighted expression.

Having witnessed Ye Luo’s miraculous medical skills, Chen Baoshan had no doubts about the efficacy of the elixir presented to him.
