Chapter 21: Does He Play by the Rules or Not?
“Boss, how about I be the auctioneer?”
A younger brother volunteered.
“Sure, let’s see what flowery words you can come up with.”
The younger brother happily walked to the car and, clearing his throat, shouted, “Residents, neighbors, brothers and sisters! Tonight, we have a very special item for auction, this beautiful woman!”
“Uh, what’s her name?”
“Ye Qingyi.”
Someone in the crowd prompted.
“Right, right. Our auction item is Miss Ye Qingyi. How old is she?”
Mao Gang, in the crowd, reminded, “Twenty-five years old, vice president of an advertising company.”
The crowd murmured appreciatively. Such a woman would have been a goddess in the past, someone they could only admire from afar. Now, although they were still admiring from a distance, they could at least see her fair skin.
Ye Qingyi looked at Mao Gang in the crowd, gritting her teeth. Gangzi wasn’t the same Gangzi anymore!
“Miss Ye Qingyi is twenty-five years old this year, vice president of an advertising company, and also the daughter-in-law of a CEO from a Fortune 500 company! Think about it, wouldn’t it be amazing to own the daughter-in-law of a Fortune 500 CEO? Absolutely a bargain!”
“Of course, this is just Miss Ye Qingyi’s background. The key is Miss Ye Qingyi herself. Look at those exquisite features, all natural, no artificial enhancements.”
“Look at that flawless skin, the touch must be a top-tier experience. And of course, the most dazzling part is her internal structure, which the three bosses can enjoy at home. We won’t pry.”
“As the saying goes, the poor enjoy your sweetness, the rich savor your saltiness. The starting bid is one bottle of mineral water, no upper limit!”
“I bid one bottle!”
A younger brother shouted excitedly. His friends were startled. Was he crazy, bidding against the bosses? Wasn’t he afraid of winning the bid but losing his life?
Ding Feng said calmly, “One case.”
“Boss Ding, that’s stingy! Five cases!”
Sun Youqing held up his hand, determined to win.
Feng Jin said casually, “Boss Sun, those five cases, are they your personal stash, or for all your brothers?”
Sun Youqing’s men paused. Yeah, the boss was using their water to bid on a woman, but they wouldn’t get to enjoy her?
Sun Youqing cursed inwardly. Trying to sow discord!
“Of course, it’s my personal stash.”
Sun Youqing said in a deep voice. He couldn’t take his brothers’ water at this time; it was equivalent to taking their lives.
His men were relieved.
“Alright, we’ll use our own supplies to bid.”
Ding Feng continued, “Six cases of water.”
Feng Jin’s expression darkened, but he still shouted, “Seven cases!”
Seven cases of mineral water was a fortune, especially now with supplies so scarce.
“Seven and a half cases.”
Ding Feng gritted his teeth. He could just drink less himself and take some from his men. He could send them out to find more later.
“Eight cases!”
Sun Youqing scoffed.
The crowd was in an uproar. Eight cases of water could save so many lives, yet they were being used to bid on a beautiful woman. Attractive women were always in demand, no matter the circumstances.
But this made many of the other women jealous.
“Ten cases.”
A voice suddenly chuckled.
The three bosses paused, confused, because it wasn’t any of them. They turned to look.
It… It was the delivery guy! He wasn’t dead!
Did the gunman die then?
Indeed, it was Tang Ze. He had just finished a round of “experience farming” at home and came down to see how much they had looted, and if there were any new “quality goods.”
As soon as he arrived, he heard the auction and saw the woman tied to the car roof.
Tang Ze was surprised. He had never seen her in the complex before. She was top-tier, comparable to An Bai and Sun Ting, perhaps even with a stronger aura.
He was in luck today. Supplies had fallen from the sky. Triple experience gain was about to begin.
Ye Qingyi couldn’t help but look up at Tang Ze. Wasn’t this the delivery guy, the ruthless killer?
Tang Ze’s appearance silenced the entire parking garage. Wasn’t he afraid of being surrounded and attacked, appearing alone like this?
Feng Jin was the first to break the silence. “Isn’t this the boss of Building Three? Decided to come downstairs for a stroll?”
“Bored, just watching your auction. Couldn’t resist joining in. Any problem with that?”
Tang Ze glanced at the three bosses, smiling amiably. But this was a smile the three bosses recognized, the smile of a man who killed without blinking. He didn’t seem to have his horse-slaying saber today. Did he have a gun?
Sun Youqing wasn’t afraid of Tang Ze. He said directly, “You come here and want to share the spoils we fought for? That’s not right.”
Bang!
A wisp of smoke rose from the gun barrel, and a bloody hole appeared between Sun Youqing’s eyebrows. Blood trickled down, and he even reached up to wipe it, then collapsed in disbelief.
“Is it right now?”
Tang Ze smiled at Feng Jin and Ding Feng.
Their composure vanished instantly. They looked warily at Tang Ze and the gun in his hand.
They were thinking of ordering their men to attack, but anyone who got close would be killed first.
It was a gamble. This guy had a gun. Should they bet on him being out of bullets?
The surrounding men were terrified by Tang Ze’s ruthlessness. Last time, he had slaughtered Dong Fei’s group with a saber. Today, he had just casually headshotted Sun Youqing, the boss of Building Five.
This delivery guy was terrifying.
Not only were the younger brothers scared, but Ye Qingyi’s face also paled, and she felt something warm on her cheek. Was it blood?
“Of course, it’s right. Boss Ding, what do you think?”
Feng Jin quickly recovered and said with a forced smile.
Ding Feng immediately echoed, “Right, right, perfectly right.”
“I’m a reasonable man. We’ll continue the auction normally. If I don’t win the bid, that’s my problem.”
Hearing Tang Ze’s words, everyone remembered his laughter from that day.
“It’s the apocalypse, who reasons anymore?”
And now he was talking about being reasonable?
So, did he play by the rules or not?
He casually headshotted someone, how was that reasonable?
“Auctioneer, what are you waiting for?”
Tang Ze prompted. Hurry up, I want to go back and grind some experience.
The auctioneer stammered, “Uh, the boss of Building Three has bid ten cases of mineral water. Any higher bids?”
“Eleven cases.”
Feng Jin felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was offering almost everything he had.
However, he heard Tang Ze’s low voice. “You dare to outbid me?”
Ding Feng was secretly delighted, hoping Tang Ze would shoot Feng Jin.
Feng Jin was startled and said with a panicked expression, “You, you said we’d have a normal auction!”
