The smile on Gu Qingcheng's face vanished, replaced by a grave expression!

Although she had a powerful conglomerate backing her, two hundred million was not a small amount for Gu Qingcheng. To come up with that sum of money, she still needed the consent of the group's board.

"Two hundred million for this Sea Mountain Diamond, are you sure it's worth it?" Gu Qingcheng asked in a deep voice.

"You can't buy my happiness with money, but a beautiful woman's smile is priceless! To win a beauty's smile, what harm is there in spending two hundred million?" Lin Fan shrugged, nonchalantly.

"Spending two hundred million for a beauty's smile, Mr. Lin, you are truly extravagant. I admire you, admire you indeed!" Zheng Longyun suddenly said with a sarcastic smile.

"Mind your own business, I like being charitable, is that an issue for you? All this money is donated to the Poverty Area. I like spreading love; can you say the same when you haven't spent a penny? Yet, you dare to lecture me?" Lin Fan had long been displeased with Zheng Longyun, and he rebuked him unceremoniously.

"You..."

Just as Zheng Longyun was about to speak, Lin Fan interrupted, glaring and exasperated, "What you? Oh, you dare stare at me! Come on then! Dare to outbid me again? I'll drown you in cash!"

Zheng Longyun clenched his fist tightly, glaring at Lin Fan with icy eyes, but he was wary of Lin Fan's strength, making him angry but silent!

"Since little brother wants it, I won't snatch it from him! Let's go!"

After a moment of frowning contemplation, Gu Qingcheng smiled and then immediately turned to walk toward the exit, her smile vanishing into a troubled expression.

Though Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Longyun were the stars of the event together, Lin Fan's silent retort entirely shattered their aura!

After such a commotion, the auction lost its original flavor. No valuable items were put up for auction afterwards, and the wealthy guests lost interest, purchasing random items out of charity. Half an hour later, the auction ended.

Lin Fan had Ye Fei'Er pack the diamond and send it to the Yanyu Group, then drove Su Yanyu back to the group.

After getting out of the car, Su Yanyu, seemingly preoccupied, with three furrows on her fair forehead, ignored Lin Fan and hurried into the elevator.

Back in her office, Su Yanyu sat on her wheelchair with a solemn expression, immediately opened her laptop, and typed "Suicide Squad" into Baidu!

The result was a flood of information related to the movies featuring Sylvester Stallone, "The Expendables," but just when Su Yanyu was about to give up, a brief description suddenly caught her beautiful eyes.

Suicide Squad: A combat team tasked with the toughest missions in war, composed of lunatics willing to sacrifice themselves, ready to do anything to achieve their purpose!

For any military force, the last thing they want to encounter is the Suicide Squad, for they are all lunatics, demons from hell!

...

Lin Fan leisurely took a nap at the group, waking up at half-past five, just in time for the end of the workday. His eyes inadvertently glanced towards Nalan Suqin's office, where a beautiful red silhouette stood by the window, looking at Lin Fan with deep emotion.

Upon seeing Lin Fan's gaze, Nalan Suqin displayed a licentious expression. Like a greedy kitten, she licked her luscious red lips, casting a meaningful glance at Lin Fan, as if to say there was no escaping from her grasp tonight.

Lin Fan looked embarrassed, sipping some cold water to soothe his dry throat, when his phone rang in his pocket—it was a call from Qiu Ruohan.

"Why is this girl calling me?"

Lin Fan wondered, but as soon as he answered, Qiu Ruohan's anxious voice immediately came through: "Brother Lin, where... where are you?"

Lin Fan instantly straightened up, hearing the urgency in Qiu Ruohan's voice, and asked in a stern voice, "What's wrong?"

"My... my father's old high-interest loan lender showed up, demanding repayment, but I've already settled that debt. Yet they still claim there's a hundred thousand in interest, forcing me to give them the house for free. Brother Lin, I... I don't know what to do..." Qiu Ruohan said with a hint of sobbing.

Swish~

A flash of cold light instantly appeared in Lin Fan's eyes!

Although Lin Fan hadn't known Qiu Ruohan for long, he already regarded her as a sister. Her frail nature made one want to hold her and protect her with all their strength!

Lin Fan felt the rage in his heart boiling...

"Don't worry, I'm coming over right away. Tell me your address," Lin Fan's tone turned icier.

Qiu Ruohan immediately gave her home address, nervously saying, "Brother Lin, please... hurry..."

"Okay! Until I get there, do not hand over the house title to them!"

Lin Fan instructed briefly, then hung up, grabbing his coat and heading out. Seeing this, Nalan Suqin frowned and quickly came out of her office to block Lin Fan's path: "Where are you going?"

"Sorry, Qin, I have some matters to handle, can't have dinner at your place tonight."

Saying this, Lin Fan stepped past Nalan Suqin, ignoring her shouting from behind, "Lin Fan, you unreliable bastard," and dashed towards the exit of the market department like a gust of wind.

In critical situations, Lin Fan didn't have time to wait for the elevator; he dashed into the stairwell, grabbing the handrail with one hand and leaping from one landing to another without care for the astonished looks around him!

In just two minutes, Lin Fan descended the dozen floors, landing steadily in the first-floor lobby, and flew towards the door, leaped over the five-meter-long steps, swiftly getting into the car.

Vroom vroom~

With the roar of the engine, the car spun in place and shot out like a black shadow.

...

Qiu Ruohan's home was in an old neighborhood slated for demolition. Those with means had long moved out, leaving only a few impoverished families here.

The streets were desolate, with few people around, and some businesses had closed early due to poor sales, giving the place an abandoned feel.

The ground was potholed like rural roads in the countryside, but Lin Fan couldn't care less; he drove straight over the bumps, the car swaying like a swing.

Qiu Ruohan's home was at the end of an alley, and soon Lin Fan saw two vans parked in front of a house.

Seven or eight men were surrounding a mother and daughter, cursing non-stop, while nearby neighbors watched the commotion through cracked doors, not daring to step out to help, a testament to the bleakness of human nature!
