Zhang Liang was visibly shaken and immediately said in panic:

“Mr. Li, it was my mistake. Thirty-five million is fine, just thirty million—whatever price that person quoted, Mr. Li, you can have it!”

At that moment, he was filled with regret, wondering what had gotten into him!

How could he have been so foolish?

How many of these wealthy young men are actually fools?

It was clearly him who was the fool!

The situation earlier clearly showed that Li Ze and Zhang Fu, the chief steward of the Liu family, were at odds, and the price had been deliberately inflated to one hundred million to mess with the other party.

And he...

Actually rushed to demand that one hundred million from Li Ze?

He had even been pleased with himself, thinking he had struck a great deal.

What a complete idiot!

Zhang Liang felt his back drenched in cold sweat. If he insisted on that one hundred million, he was sure Li Ze would give it to him.

But after getting that one hundred million, he’d probably not live long enough to spend it.

He might even end up dead on the street tonight!

Thinking about it made Zhang Liang even more anxious.

Seeing his assistant still standing there, stunned and motionless, he angrily roared, “Are you deaf? Hurry up and transfer five million back to Mr. Li!”

“Ah, yes.”

Under Zhang Liang’s murderous gaze, the assistant finally reacted, hurriedly transferring five million back to Li Ze.

Li Ze gave Zhang Liang a deep, penetrating look.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Though the guy had seemed a bit foolish earlier, he was now showing some sense.

Did Ye Tian think he would spend seventy million just to put him in his place? That was clearly overestimating things.

“Alright.” Li Ze waved his hand. “You can go now.”

Since the other party was showing some understanding, Li Ze didn’t bother with him further.

Zhang Liang, feeling as if he had been granted a reprieve, left with his assistant, relieved to have escaped.

Li Ze stood up and said calmly, "Let's go."

Guo Han quickly followed, and the two of them exited the auction house’s private box. Li Ze planned to visit the recently acquired Villa No. 1 at Bishi Riverside to inspect the opportunity that was originally meant for the protagonist, Ye Tian!

Strolling leisurely, Li Ze arrived at Villa No. 1 at Bishi Riverside.

He walked straight in, surveyed the surroundings, and, based on his memory, went to the study on the second floor, stopping in front of a bookshelf on the right side.

For aesthetic reasons, the bookshelf was already filled with various books, which could be replaced according to the owner’s preferences after moving in.

“Found it!”

Li Ze’s gaze swept over the collection of books until his eyes lit up, and he pulled out one of the books.

With a rustling sound, he flipped through the book, quickly finding a yellowed parchment in the middle.

“Hehe, this is it—the opportunity that Ye Tian was supposed to obtain after buying this villa.”

Li Ze’s eyes were deep and contemplative.

The parchment was covered with a chaotic jumble of text, but it contained hidden patterns. Successfully deciphering it would reveal a location.

In the original show, Ye Tian found a hidden stone house there, where he discovered a jade disc. This disc contained a unique energy, similar to the special inner energy refined by Ye Tian’s unique medical techniques.

Ye Tian’s medical skills were already at the pinnacle of mastery, just a step away from perfection. The absorption of this unique energy allowed him to break through a long-standing barrier.

This energy also had the effect of enhancing his strength.

Li Ze had been coveting this opportunity for a long time and was finally able to get his hands on it at today’s auction!

After all, if he had investigated the book in advance, it could have led to changes in certain small details, and the parchment might not have appeared in this villa or in the show.

However, the show didn’t provide a specific description of the location revealed by the decoding, only showing Ye Tian finding the stone chamber as the scene shifted.

The show did describe the method for decoding the parchment, though.

Recalling from memory, Li Ze quickly deciphered the location of the opportunity and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, the location is within Linzhou, in a valley near Bian City. It’s not too far from Haicheng, so a round trip won’t cause much delay.”

He said, then hurried downstairs and instructed Guo Han, who was waiting in the lobby, “Prepare a helicopter. I need to head to Bian City immediately!”

“Understood.”

Guo Han received the order and quickly made the arrangements.

Soon, a helicopter landed with a roar at the Bishi Riverside community, and Li Ze boarded it, speeding off toward Bian City.
