Zhou Hanyu and Cai'Er went upstairs, while Yang Yan found a seat by the bar downstairs.

"Yang, you're here! What would you like to drink?"

The waiter, who was joking around with someone earlier, asked enthusiastically.

She was the senior waiter Yang Yan met the first time he came here.

She and her brother have been working part-time in this place.

Her name, Yang Yan remembered now, was Li Hongyu.

Her nickname seemed to be Xiaoping.

Even though they had only met twice, Yang Yan still had a good impression of this girl.

Sincere, not pretentious.

Girls like her are already rare in this materialistic, luxury-driven era.

Especially in a place like a bar, it is even more valuable.

"Whatever! Bring out a bottle of Fatty's rare collection, I haven't had a good drink in a long time."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"I bet Fatty is going to cry again later."

Li Hongyu said this with her words, but her hands didn't slow down.

Under the bar, there was a hidden compartment containing a lot of good wine.

At first, Li Hongyu didn't know the value of these wines, but as she worked here for longer, she gradually realized...

More precisely, it was from seeing Fatty's hobby a lot, she became more knowledgeable about wine.

Isn't it exactly the reason why Yang Yan thought this girl was nice?

She even spent quite a lot of time specifically researching wine.

She might not know what these wines taste like, but she knows if they were sold outside, each bottle would fetch a sky-high price, easily sold at major auctions.

These wines, the boss himself couldn't bear to drink; it's usually only Wushuang the Unrivaled Sister and the real big boss in front of her who drink them.

Oh!

Almost forgot, there's Dou Dou too.

Dou Dou also seems to fancy the collection here.

Whenever there's a chance, he makes Fatty mourn and wail endlessly.

"Wow! Looks like I'm in for a treat again."

The young man sitting beside him suddenly said with a smile.

"Cut it out, this wine is for Yang to drink. If you drank it, it would be a miracle if the boss didn't kill you."

Li Hongyu sneered.

"Oh, come on! I'll just have a small cup, and who'd know if you don't tell and I don't tell? Besides, if it really doesn't work, we'll just make a bet with him. Trust your Brother Li, I won't lose."

The young man said with a flattering expression.

"Tch! Do you even need to say? No one loses when betting with the boss."

Li Hongyu said disdainfully.

Then, she poured a glass of wine for Yang Yan.

With Yang Yan's permission, she also poured a glass for this young man named Li Shuai.

"Tsk tsk! This Fatty's wine is indeed strong! Even my dad's so-called collection is no match!"

Li Shuai lamented.

He was indeed speaking the truth.

Both Fatty and Yang Yan have a hobby of collecting wine.

Fatty collects regardless of origin, as long as it's good wine.

While Yang Yan only collects antique wine from Huaxia.

Just as Yang Yan and Li Shuai were enjoying drink after drink, Fatty unknowingly stood by their side.

With a resentful look at Yang Yan, he poured himself a glass of wine, mumbling under his breath:

"Even if I'm reluctant, I have to drink it, or else at this rate, everything will be gone."

Just as Fatty lifted his wine glass, his lips didn't even touch it when a jade hand reached over.

Fatty felt a sudden emptiness in his hand; the wine glass was snatched away and downed in one gulp.

Fatty was about to erupt in anger, but when he saw the person who drank his wine was Zhuge Wushuang, he instantly deflated.

He managed a forced smile, sat down, and poured himself another glass.

Just as he was about to drink again, another jade hand took it away.

This time, Fatty was truly furious.

This was insufferable.

Fatty was about to explode but took one look at the other person and backed down once more.

It was Mu Qingcheng!

Absolutely can't afford to provoke her!

"You all are here? Where's Xiaocao?"

Yang Yan finished his drink, then turned around and asked.

"Xiaocao first escorted Ruyi upstairs and is bringing the auction list for you to review."

Mu Qingcheng licked her lips, savoring the taste.

Yang Yan nodded.

Then, he felt something off behind him and turned to find Fatty glaring at him with a resentful look.

Meanwhile, Li Shuai, who also drank the wine, had already been kicked away by him.

Li Shuai didn't mind, rubbing his butt and smiling, he walked away quietly.

After all, this kick was worth it; having drunk Fatty's wine, he could brag about it to his buddies for a year.

"Boss, can't you stop drinking my wine every time you come? It's not like you don't have your own hidden stash, and yours is more and better; can't you drink your own?"

Fatty said with a face full of grievances.

"You also know mine is better than yours? If drinking yours makes you heartache, wouldn't drinking mine make me feel even worse?"

Yang Yan shamelessly remarked.

"So you drink mine? And you two!"

Fatty looked at Zhuge Wushuang and Mu Qingcheng, saying with a tear-stained face:

"Don't your consciences hurt treating me this way?"

"Not at all, not at all."

The three said in unison.

Fatty's eyes grew even more resentful.

Xiaocao came downstairs.

She stood behind Yang Yan like a diligent maid.

Yang Yan had told her many times not to do this, as it made him feel awkward.

However, Xiaocao always had a stubborn persistence in this regard.

Yang Yan could only let her be.

"Boss, here's the auction list for this time. Do you plan to bid on those two knives?"

Xiaocao asked softly.

"No."

Yang Yan shook his head and then coldly said:

"This time, I'm just going to observe; I won't bid myself. I want to see who buys them and understand the real intentions of those who put them up."

Mu Qingcheng furrowed her delicate brows and said indifferently:

"Well, that's fine too! Each of these ten daggers has its peculiarities. One or two occasionally appearing might be okay, but revealing so many at once implies something significant."

Zhuge Wushuang scoffed:

"Isn't that obvious? Anyone could tell there's a catch. But now we have the newly acquired Spirit Wings, Viper, and Black Gold Slaughter City daggers, along with Fatty's E Steel and Fire Meteor, making it five out of the ten with confirmed whereabouts."

"Since Vengeance has been privately bought, we might as well investigate and see what the real story is behind it."

Fatty, although not daring to get involved in the open and hidden battles between these two women, still spoke seriously since it was business:

"Each of these ten knives is a sinister object. Counting Vengeance, six have surfaced. Gan Jiang and Mo Ye are with Wushuang's family, making it seven!"

"Including the Blood Amber and Sarahville sure to appear at tomorrow's auction, only Ghost Hand remains."
