Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

To say that Zhang Shu doesn't feel terrible would definitely be a lie.

After all, that's her man.

But she knows, Su Chen did it to save her.

An hour later, Su Chen was completely out of strength.

Looking at Bloody Maria standing right in front of him, Su Chen actually felt like his heart was willing but his strength was failing.

When did he become so weak?

Wait, Su Chen's face suddenly changed color, and then he lunged fiercely at Bloody Maria.

His hand reached directly for Bloody Maria's face.

Rip.

Bloody Maria's face was torn apart by Su Chen.

No, more precisely, it was a human skin mask that he had torn apart.

And then, a completely different face was revealed under the mask.

This woman, she was not Bloody Maria!

Su Chen's eyes widened in shock.

This was a woman he had seen before.

It was none other than one of the twelve Blood Fiends!

Having her true face revealed, the Blood Fiend smirked with a strange curve to her lips.

Her gaze towards Su Chen was filled with an evil charm.

That kind of gaze was not like that of a woman looking at a man.

It was more like the eyes of a beast.

Filled with bestiality.

Such a glance sent chills down Su Chen's spine, making him dare not provoke her any further.

Seeing Su Chen wisely backing down, the woman continued dressing herself.

If it weren't for the orders she had received to think long-term,

Su Chen, as such a powerful figure, was a rare find in the entire world.

Bloody Maria naturally couldn't bear to waste him all at once.

After all, there were eleven other Blood Fiends who needed to make use of him to enhance their strength.

Su Chen's face was streaming with tears.

He hadn't expected that, despite all his calculations, he would still fall for that woman Bloody Maria's scheme.

Actually allowing a Blood Fiend to impersonate her.

He tried to use his Inner Strength, only to find its flow exceedingly sluggish.

It seems impossible for him to keep this Blood Fiend behind now.

He could only watch helplessly as the Blood Fiend swaggered away.

Stepping out of the room, Su Chen found that Zhang Shu was sitting in the living room.

Her face bore a look of dazedness and desolation.

Her own man, with another woman... while she sat outside; such a feeling, surely wouldn't feel good.

"Zhang... sister..." Su Chen opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words.

Zhang Shu lifted her head, her expression changing several times, and eventually gritted her teeth and said, "Stay with me tonight."

Her tone carried a hint of reproach.

Hearing Zhang Shu's words, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew this matter could be considered over.

But then, a problem arose.

He still needed to meet with Lin Xi, and after the battle with the Blood Fiend, he now...

Yet he didn't want to disappoint Zhang Shu.

So he nodded.

He could only find an excuse to fob Lin Xi off for now.

...

The next day, Su Chen personally escorted Zhang Shu to the auction site.

Originally, he planned to take Zhang Shu directly into the venue, but suddenly, upon seeing a figure, Su Chen was scared out of his wits.

"Umm, sister Zhang, you go ahead, my stomach hurts, I need to use the restroom first," Su Chen quickly found an excuse to escape.

Because the person he saw was no other than his CEO-wife, Lin Xi!

Why did Lin Xi come?

Could it be...

Su Chen did not guess wrong.

Indeed, Lin Xi also had an eye on this plot of land.

After all, in Jiangdu City, undeveloped land was becoming increasingly scarce.

And this plot of land, both in terms of size and location, was quite exceptional.

Yimena's development was extremely rapid, and their products often couldn't meet demand.

Relying only on the original factories for production was somewhat insufficient.

Moreover, Lin Xi had acquired a brand-new dyeing and finishing technology, a technique that could not be immediately put into production; a lot of experimentation was needed beforehand.

The original factories were already struggling to keep up with demand.

Naturally, only by expanding the factories could the issue be resolved.

Seeing Lin Xi confidently walk into the venue with her secretary, Tang Qian, Su Chen could only shake his head in resignation.

He also didn't know where Lin Xi's confidence came from.

If it wasn't for his chance encounter with Zhang Shu, solving many of her troubles,

The piece of land would probably have been Yiyang Group's by now.

Unexpectedly, he had unwittingly done his wife a big favor, and Su Chen felt quite happy about it.

Since Lin Xi was also in the venue, Su Chen naturally didn't dare to go in.

Even though Zhang Shu had reserved a spot for him in the audience.

No joke.

If Lin Xi found him there, how would he explain his presence?

Was he supposed to tell Lin Xi that Zhang Shu was his... so he could come in?

Better not, he'd be annihilated in a minute.

The auction went very smoothly.

Without Yiyang Group's sabotage from behind the scenes, all bidders could only participate in the auction by legitimate means.

The current bid had already exceeded five billion.

However, this was not surprising; the normal transaction price for this piece of land should be around ten billion.

Five billion was still not the ceiling.

Sure enough, the bidding soon reached eight billion.

The price was still climbing, and exceeding ten billion was just a matter of time.

Seeing the price continually rising, Lin Xi felt somewhat nervous.

Because the funds she had prepared this time were only ten billion.

Initially, her capital had been quite sufficient, but then, her family suddenly pulled out ten billion.

Although she had set aside funds in advance for the bid,

She could only afford up to ten billion at most.

If the land went over ten billion, she might lose her chance to acquire it.

Of course, Yiyang Group was even more uncomfortable.

A piece of land that would have cost just over one billion to acquire was now going to cost over ten times as much.

Luckily, in the end, the bid stopped at twelve billion.

And then no one bid any higher.

The final bid of twelve billion was Yiyang Group's offer.

Yimena Group's bid was eleven and a half billion, which was Lin Xi's utmost limit.
