Listening to the continually escalating prices, Zhu Hong, Yi Haisheng, and Seland all wore smiles on their faces. Especially Zhu Hong and Seland, their eyes met, revealing a trace of excitement.

Since Zhu Hong collaborated with Yingtai Group, their output definitely wouldn’t be just this hundred bottles of potion. However, only with a limited quantity can they achieve higher prices. Not only that, it can indirectly boost Yingtai Group’s influence.

No matter who the final winner is later, Seland believes that as long as he walks out of this venue, his phone will surely be blown up with calls. Thinking about the future of Yingtai Group, Seland was instantly filled with confidence. With these enhancement potions, perhaps Yingtai Group truly has a chance to monopolize the entire industry.

Unlike Seland’s aspirations for the future, Zhu Hong was excited because he could finally make a big move. The success of the enhancement potion allowed him to establish a firm foothold at Yingtai Group. From now on, Yingtai Group would certainly value his presence. With the chips he holds, they are enough to exchange for more benefits. Maybe... Zhu Hong glanced at Seland with the corner of his eye, and secretly smirked, maybe he even has a chance to take Seland’s place and become the Sect Leader of Yingtai Group. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Quickly, the price of that batch of potion had already raised to two billion US Dollars. At this price, the bidders became fewer and fewer. Although no one present lacked money, their confidence in this type of potion wasn’t very strong yet. They just wanted to buy it back to try it out and see how effective it was. If the price was too high and the effect was average, then it would be somewhat not worth it.

"Mr. Ling, aren’t we going to make a move?" Beison stared at the stage and asked in a low voice.

"Don’t rush." Ling Chen looking at the camera, still pondering a strategy in his mind. He needed to send a signal to Liu Dongsheng, but the phone signal was already blocked, and there were guards at the venue’s doors, no one could leave until the seminar ended. Observing the surroundings, Ling Chen said, "You two stay here, I’ll go to the restroom."

The restroom was right next to the venue and could only be accessed via a dedicated passage from the venue, and it was impossible to go to other parts of the group building. Upon arrival, Ling Chen looked around, estimating that everyone’s attention was captivated by the enhancement potion, the restroom was surprisingly empty.

Finding a stall, Ling Chen shut the door, looked at the ceiling, and saw a vent opening approximately thirty centimeters wide.

Seizing the moment while no one came in, Ling Chen opened the vent cover and then slowly climbed up. Crawling along the ventilation duct for more than ten meters, Ling Chen suddenly stopped. In front of him in the ventilation duct, Ling Chen discovered a motion sensor.

Whether dismantling the motion sensor or passing through it would trigger an alarm. Ling Chen shook his head helplessly. He hadn’t expected Yingtai Group’s security to be this meticulous, placing security systems even inside the ventilation ducts. If there were professional tools, there would be a chance to dismantle it.

Having no choice, Ling Chen returned the way he came.

Leaving the restroom, Ling Chen returned to Beison and Zhu Qing’s side. Facing their questioning looks, Ling Chen shook his head and continued to look at the stage of the venue.

By now, the price of that batch of potion had been raised to 2.3 billion US Dollars. At this price, every bidder began hesitating.

"Isn’t anyone bidding?" Seland looked at the audience with a smile, saying, "Please consider carefully, this is the first batch."

A few minutes passed, but still, no one placed a bid. Seeing this, Seland went to the center of the stage and said, "Since no one has bid, let’s congratulate the winner of the first batch of potion."

Selling the first batch of potion successfully also signified the end of this seminar. Some members of the audience stood up and began to leave the venue. As each person walked out, the security personnel at the door would verify their identity and then allow them to leave.

Seeing Zhu Hong and Yi Haisheng following Seland into the backstage, Ling Chen suddenly had an impulse to rush over and take down Zhu Hong. Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen suppressed his impulse, signaled to Beison with a look, and the three of them packed up their equipment and headed straight for the exit.

Exiting through the venue’s main doors, Ling Chen looked at the corridors on both sides. Every ten meters, there was a security guard escorting guests out. Under these circumstances, it was utterly impossible to sneak away unnoticed.

As the main entrance drew nearer, Ling Chen felt a bit anxious. It was barely possible to get inside, so are we just going out like this? Wouldn’t all the time and effort they’ve put in be wasted?

No! They must find a way to get back in.

"Beison, you two go out first, and contact Uncle Liu immediately once you’re outside and have him take action."

After speaking, without waiting for Beison and Zhu Qing to respond, Ling Chen suddenly bent over, clutching his stomach, saying, "I can’t take it anymore, I need to find a restroom quickly." Saying this, Ling Chen swiftly moved towards the nearest security personnel and urgently said, "Excuse me, where’s your restroom?"

"Sir, there is a restroom outside, you can go out there."

"I can’t hold it anymore, there’s no time to go outside. Quick, lead me to the nearest restroom."

The security personnel had no choice, promptly called for a colleague, and had him lead Ling Chen to the restroom. Before long, the two arrived outside the restroom, and the security personnel said politely, "Sir, please be quick, I’ll be waiting for you outside."

"Alright, thank you!" With that, Ling Chen hurriedly pushed open the door and quickly walked in.

Sitting on the toilet, Ling Chen took out his phone, finding the surrounding signal still hadn’t recovered. Looking at the ceiling vent, Ling Chen dared not act rashly, as this was a shared restroom within the group, and someone could come in at any moment. So, to be safe, it was best not to act impetuously for now.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and ’knock, knock, knock,’ the sound of knocking came from outside the restroom door: "Sir, are you not done yet?"

"Sorry, please wait a little longer, it will be done soon." Ling Chen said with a smile. It had been ten minutes already, hadn’t Beison and Zhu Qing gotten the message out yet?

Another five minutes passed, and the security personnel waiting outside seemed to be growing impatient, as he directly walked in from outside.

"Sir! Sir!"

"Coming," Ling Chen opened the stall door, pulling up his pants with an apologetic smile, "Sorry for taking your time."

"It’s alright, the passage outside is about to close, please come with me."

"Okay." Ling Chen nodded, sighed silently, and followed the person walking straight outside.
