Chapter 32: I haven't read many books, don't you try to lie to me

The location where Ye Bai was currently situated was a hidden blind spot, blocked by a thick curtain.

Even the surveillance cameras could not see this position; taking advantage of his role as a cleaner, he had long since investigated everything in the vicinity clearly.

This included the locations of the cameras, the angles of the cameras, and so on; even his appearance at the auction stage at this time was permitted.

According to the rules established by the Longteng Auction House, when encountering the on-site cutting of an Original Stone, cleaners must be ready at any time to rush onto the auction stage to sweep up the debris from the Original Stone so as not to delay the next auction item.

Faced with this scene of a brawl, the other cleaners all hid far away, and only Ye Bai hid within this curtain to observe.

In this surveillance blind spot, a ripple appeared on Ye Bai's body.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm crawled out from the ripple; it seemed as if it hadn't woken up yet, rubbing its big belly and smacking its lips, seemingly savoring something.

"Thousand-Change Silkworm, time to work. Quickly spit out the transparent insect silk and drag the treasure I mentioned over bit by bit."

Ye Bai's actions were very risky and had to be done quickly; if he were discovered by the people from the Longteng Auction House, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

Treasure?

I'm not sleepy anymore!

In the consciousness of the Thousand-Change Silkworm, treasure was equivalent to several plates of delicious food.

It also wanted to eat delicious food every day like the boxing rabbit.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm looked left and right, but saw no treasure; it looked at Ye Bai with a puzzled expression, as if saying, "I haven't read many books, don't you try to lie to me; where is the treasure?"

"Haha, Thousand-Change Silkworm, those treasures are in those stone fragments."

"You spray out the insect silk in the direction I tell you."

"I'll treat you to something delicious later."

The Thousand-Change Silkworm revealed an expression of "Are you really telling the truth?"

Ye Bai looked at the Thousand-Change Silkworm with a sincere face, that look in his eyes as if saying, "When have I ever lied to you?"

The Thousand-Change Silkworm was defeated by Ye Bai's sincere gaze; it opened its mouth, and a strand of crystal-clear insect silk sprayed out from the Thousand-Change Silkworm's mouth.

Finally, it landed at a place not far from them.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm's insect silk was very tough; Ye Bai had tested it before, and using it to drag things weighing dozens of kilograms was not a problem at all.

As the insect silk pulled continuously, the Original Stone fragments wrapped in gray mist moved over bit by bit.

Thanks to the Four-Armed Mantis cutting the huge Original Stone into countless palm-sized pieces.

And thanks to the chaos caused by the two men fighting each other.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two men, and no one cast their gaze on these worthless Original Stone fragments, which gave Ye Bai the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

When the insect silk was moved to his feet, Ye Bai immediately collected the Original Stone fragments into his Pet Beast Space.

"Very good, well done."

"Thousand-Change Silkworm, there is still that fragment."

The Thousand-Change Silkworm spat out insect silk and tucked the Original Stone fragment into its pocket bit by bit.

It was when dragging the last piece that a slight problem occurred.

The Original Stone fragment hit the ground and made some noise, but the brawl between He Guangda and the appraiser had attracted everyone's attention.

In the end, the Thousand-Change Silkworm still managed to pull this Original Stone fragment emitting gray mist over without any danger.

Before jumping into the space ripple, the Thousand-Change Silkworm even used its tongue to make a hand-rubbing gesture, letting Ye Bai know he must remember its 'hard-earned contribution'.

It wanted delicious food, lots and lots of delicious food.

After a long time, when both men had fought enough, He Guangda and the appraiser were finally pulled apart.

Both were bruised and swollen from the fight; He Guangda's gold-rimmed glasses were knocked crooked, and his entire suit was wrinkled.

At this moment, he was filled with endless regret, his eyes bloodshot, completely lacking his former gentle and refined appearance.

He was now a gambler who had lost his mind, his head filled with thoughts of how he had personally lost three hundred million Alliance Coins.

"Second Master He, do you want these things packed up and taken back? Maybe there are still hidden things inside if you cut them."

This Original Stone was the final auction item, and the host actually had time to appreciate He Guangda's disheveled appearance.

"Do you want me to cut it for you on the spot?" the host asked casually.

"Cut, why wouldn't I cut it?" At this moment, He Guangda was very desperate; now, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would hold onto it tightly.

A look of hope flashed in He Guangda's eyes; if he could cut out some treasure, it would be fine to recoup at least some of his losses.

The Four-Armed Mantis cut continuously, dust flying, but He Guangda became more and more disappointed.

The stone material containing the treasure had long been picked up by Ye Bai, and the remaining stone material could not be cut into anything at all, so in the end, He Guangda sat slumped on the ground like a gambler who had lost his entire fortune.

He pulled his hair hard with both hands, changing from a high-spirited middle-aged man to someone very decadent.

It's over, completely over.

He had just become the acting head of the family when he encountered such a thing; when he returned to the family, he might be immediately removed from his position.

Perhaps they would even make him compensate for this three-hundred-million deficit; his life had become dim and lusterless.

He Guangda sat slumped on the ground and was carried away, while the stone fragments on the ground were swept clean bit by bit by Ye Bai with a broom.

By the time he finished his work, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

He stretched his somewhat sore and numb body, and his joints made a crackling sound.

The wages here were not bad, it was just that the labor intensity was very high.

Ordinary people couldn't handle it, especially when He Guangda insisted on cutting the stone material completely regardless of the cost.

He and the cleaner beside him both appeared quite helpless; the workload had suddenly skyrocketed.

He had watched a farce tonight; presumably, after tonight, He Guangda would no longer have the ability to cause him trouble.

This could be considered clearing an obstacle for himself; I wonder how much useful information there will be after the intelligence refreshes tonight.

Slap, slap.

Steward Wang, who was still guarding the old site of the Fangyuan Breeding House in the middle of the night to swat mosquitoes, knew in his heart that Ye Bai would not appear.

He already knew about what had happened at the Longteng Auction House just now.

The plan targeting Ye Bai had already come to nothing, and now the He Family was caught up in an even bigger matter; if not handled well, the He Family might face a broken capital chain.

What a disaster, a full three hundred million just thrown away like it was worthless.

This news might cause a huge uproar within the He Family, and internal strife would likely become even more intense.

Steward Wang was now considering whether he should find a new job.

To be honest, ever since he entered the He Family, he hadn't had a smile on his face for a long time.

A madman who constantly shouted that he wanted everyone to be buried with him.

A madwoman who would stage a tear-jerker drama about running away from home at the drop of a hat.

And a mad old master who would demand that someone's family business be ruined overnight at the slightest provocation; Steward Wang had had enough.

This time, no one would ever be able to humiliate me again, not even for a lot, lot of money!

It must be a massive, massive amount of money to make me lower my head and bend my waist!

Begging for votes.
