That man scoffed. “You… Ha, I don’t believe you’d dare to do anything to me. So what if you have more men? If you have the guts to throw me out, I’ll make sure you can’t enter and leave M Nation in peace!”
Gu Jingze laughed coldly. “Did you guys hear that?” He said to the bodyguards, “Just like I’ve said, whatever he says can be returned to him.”
The bodyguards heard this and immediately walked towards that man.
At first, the man did not believe him. Now, he was starting to worry.
However, he did not want to show weakness on his face. He only glanced outside as if considering if this man would really dare to do such a thing.
However, he did not know that Gu Jingze had always been a man of his words. With just one look, the bodyguards swiftly walked forward.
The man was scared and stepped backward. He quickly turned to his men. “Come on, hurry up! What are you guys looking at?”
His men wanted to come forward but were completed blocked by Gu Jingze’s men. Even if they weren’t, they also wouldn’t have dared to move as there were too many people.
Especially all these men who did not look simple. They were much stronger.
The man saw this and broke out in cold sweat. He exclaimed, “You… Do you dare to do this to me? You can gloat now but believe it or not, you will suffer tomorrow. You…”
No matter what the man said, he was simply hoisted up and dragged out by Gu Jingze’s men.
The man exclaimed relentlessly until he was outside.
Everyone looked out curiously. He was indeed tossed out onto the ground and beaten up.
Everyone tried to control their laughter. He had been arrogant for so many years in M Nation. He was like a tyrant, causing trouble everywhere. Now, he had been taught a lesson.
However, everyone was still surprised and wondered who exactly was this man who dared to oppose him.
Someone said, “Hey, young man. That was a local snake. It is indeed troublesome now that you’ve really offended him.”
Gu Jingze did not look at the person and only replied plainly, “I, Gu Jingze, am least afraid of trouble.”
“Gu Jingze?”
“He is Gu Jingze?”
“When did Gu Jingze come to M Nation? How did we not get any information about that?”
“Oh my God. He just came to M Nation and already dares to be so proud.”
Those who knew about Gu Jingze continued talking amongst themselves as they looked at him. The man who was often heard of but rarely seen was now right in front of them. He was so different from what they imagined.
Everyone was still in shock while Gu Jingze already sat back down as he asked the host, “Aright, so is the item still ours?”
Si Yi and the organizers were already completely stunned. Seeing Gu Jingze’s focused attention on them, they then remembered that they were still in the midst of the auction.
Si Yi quickly said, “Yes yes yes.” His eyes were filled with admiration for this man.
At first, he was rather neutral, but seeing how dominating Gu Jingze was, he really couldn’t help but admire him. It turned out that such people still existed on earth.
Gu Jingze took the item and handed it to Lin Che. Then, he looked up and spotted Han Chengen among the crowd.
He narrowed his eyes and his lips curved into a smirk.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. Naturally, she was rather puzzled. This was not Gu Jingze’s usual style. However, she believed that he must have had his reasons.
One auction, one incident. This made many people talk, resulting in one story that made its way out beyond the auditorium.
Meanwhile, after the auction, Gu Jingze took Lin Che to the front to eat.
When Yun Luo wanted to find him, she was told that he already left.
Yun Luo stood there angrily. However, she heard some passersby talking about what just happened.
“That Gu Jingze is really arrogant.”
“But I heard that he is practically God in C Nation and nobody knows exactly how rich he is. He keeps a low profile and his abilities are shocking.”
“Ah. No matter what, he was really domineering. And the girl beside him must have been his partner. She must be really pampered. Whatever she wants, he would bid and even fight someone else for it. How lucky.”
Yun Luo heard this and grew frustrated. She clenched her fists silently and thought, What right did Lin Che have… What is she to deserve someone like Gu Jingze…
She was only weak because of her heart disease. She did not dare to step out of her house since she was young. Otherwise, Lin Che would never have the chance.
Meanwhile, Gu Jingze and Lin Che were eating outside. The auction item was beside Lin Che.
She held it up to look at it. This item really became much more expensive now.
She looked at Gu Jingze. “I don’t even dare to take this home because of how you got it.”
Gu Jingze said, “This thing is not worth much, but I absolutely did not waste my money.”
“Why?” Lin Che asked curiously.
Gu Jingze said, “What I did is for someone to see. I’m showing him that I’m not afraid of whatever underhanded moves he might be planning behind my back. He will not underestimate my power either and will think twice about whether it’s worth it and how much he would have to sacrifice to oppose me.”
“Oh…” Lin Che seemed to have understood. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Fine, I get it. I see your reason now.”
She knew that Gu Jingze was never such an arrogant person.
She wiped her mouth. “I’m going to the washroom.”
“Okay, take someone with you,” Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che’s bodyguard followed behind. After she was done washing her hands, she felt a lady enter and stand beside her. Lin Che absentmindedly flung water onto the lady’s arm.
She quickly looked up. “I’m sorry…”
“Ah, it’s okay. It’s okay.” The lady beside her smiled. She seemed harmonious and kind.
And her face…
Lin Che looked at her and suddenly paused.
This person looked familiar. Very familiar.
Feeling Lin Che stare at her, the lady turned to her slightly. She beamed, showing smile lines on her face. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Che immediately snapped back to reality. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just thought you looked really familiar. I wonder if I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
The lady also looked at Lin Che. Her eyes were almost closed as she smiled. “Really?” She took a closer look at Lin Che and also seemed to find her familiar.
“Well, I think you look familiar too…” The lady stared at her and her eyes suddenly lit up. “But I don’t know where I’ve seen you before. What’s your name?”
