Chapter 10 I beat you up in public because you deserved it (1/2)

Shen Xing sat in his office, listening to his special assistant's report.

"According to the information we've gathered, the Ye brothers acted very strangely today. Ye Boxuan suddenly went to the Ye family's old residence and, after saying something, around noon, those old guys all left S City. Their destination is still uncertain."

Ye Jinyan, Ye Tianfei, and Ye Yanling boarded a plane and left S City before 9:00 AM. They were heading to the capital, Mao Country, and the Middle East, respectively.

In addition, around 10:30 AM, shortly after we left Ye's, Mr. Ye and Mr. Wen purchased a large quantity of goods. However, due to limited authority, I cannot ascertain the specifics of what they ordered.

As for Miss Ye, our people didn't have a chance; she stayed with her older brother and President Wen the whole time.

After listening to the report, Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought.

Lin Lan spoke to him at noon, saying that if the Ye family were hoarding supplies, it would prove that Ye Ling had also been reborn and that she had very likely already activated her spatial ability.

If the guess is correct, then they should bring Ye Ling over to become their mobile warehouse.

They could either kill her, or the space could return to their location.

Ye Jingyan's sudden change of mind about not signing a contract with them and his large-scale procurement of supplies is enough to prove that the apocalypse Lin Lan spoke of is indeed coming.

She said that after the earthquake, there were few safe places in the country, but there was one place that was not affected much, and that was the capital.

Ye Jinyan's sudden trip to the capital must have been a pre-planned trip.

He suddenly became serious and said to his assistant, "You can go out now."

After his assistant left, he called Lin Lan: "Where are you?"

It was a bit noisy on Lin Lan's end, so she called out loudly, "I'm on this side of the old street."

"Come to my office right now, I have something to ask you."

Lin Lan looked at the ancient ring in her hand and said, "Then you'll have to wait for me a while; I'm not finished with my business here yet."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Shen Xing's eyes: "What could be more important than the apocalypse? I want to see you in the office before three o'clock."

Without giving Lin Lan a chance to speak, he hung up the phone.

He then started making phone calls to notify people to begin purchasing...

Lin Lan was feeling irritable. It was almost two o'clock, and it would take about an hour to get there. There simply wasn't enough time.

"Boss, I'll take this one."

The ring in Lin Lan's hand was taken away, and Lin Lan quickly reached out to snatch it back: "I saw it first, there's always a first-come, first-served rule."

Wen Mengxia held up the ring in her hand and asked Lin Lan, "You've been standing here for so long without buying anything, and you won't let others buy anything? I've already given you a chance."

She gripped the ring tightly in her hand and said to the person next to her, "Pay up."

The old man originally wanted to ask for an exorbitant price, but since the other party was Miss Wen, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He asked for 10,000 yuan and sold the ring to Wen Mengxia.

Lin Lan was furious: "Boss, I was here first, and you sold it to someone else without even asking me? And you sold it to me for 100,000, but you sold it to her for 10,000. Were you doing this on purpose?"

The old man was speechless: "I can't afford to offend the Wen family. Besides, I asked you several times if you wanted it, and you always said you needed to think about it. How can you blame me for that?"

Lin Lan narrowed her eyes, a murderous intent rising within her towards the old man.

She had a strong feeling that the ring might be a spatial ring. She hesitated just now because the boss was asking for an exorbitant 100,000.

He was just a street vendor, yet he dared to ask for so much money. But then he turned around and sold it to Wen Mengxia for 10,000 yuan.

A flash of murderous intent crossed Wen Mengxia's eyes as she sneered, "Miss Lin, why don't you use your beauty to your advantage? Maybe the boss will just give it to you."
