28: Chapter 28 Scheming Against the Qi Family (Part Two)

Suddenly hearing this familiar voice, The Qi Family turned around one after another and saw Qi Yin sitting next to Lu Yanxiu, who had just been bidding against them.

They all shared a unified thought: Qi Yin, how is this wretched girl here?

As for Qi Mingyuan, he was thinking: Sure enough, the thing raised by that dead old woman always likes to go against him.

Lu Yanxiu is, Lu Jinwen is, and now even the usually obedient Qi Yin is too!

"2.6 billion!" Qi Mingyuan followed up without hesitation, his face carrying a cat-and-mouse mockery.

He glared at Qi Yin: "You only have 2.5 billion in your hands at most, you aren't qualified to compete with me."

However, Qi Yin seemed to have lost her head and immediately followed up: "2.7 billion!"

2.7 billion had already exceeded their original budget.

Seeing him hesitate, Wang Hui held Qi Ming's arm and said softly: "Dad, no matter what, we must take down this mine today, otherwise that person will not let us go."

Qi Ming also said: "Yes, Dad, we didn't catch Dr. Chen Jun last time, and they are already very unhappy."

Qi Mingyuan harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that Qi Yin was deliberately causing trouble for him or had received some inside information.

She must not be allowed to succeed. What if this treasure mountain really has value?

Wouldn't they make a fortune?

Therefore, Qi Mingyuan raised his paddle again: "2.8 billion!"

Qi Yin raised her hand, and Lu Yanxiu did not follow.

2.8 billion—even if The Qi Family sold all their assets, it wouldn't be enough. They would inevitably have to borrow more from Wang Hui's family.

And Wang Hui's father was a proper nouveau riche miser; how could he let anyone pluck feathers from him?

Therefore, Qi Mingyuan would definitely sell the shares in his hands.

Now, those uncles and great-uncles would be happy.

Qi Yin's eyes were cold as she took a deep look at where The Qi Family was located.

In five days, the Apocalypse will arrive. Enjoy the taste of having no money, no power, and even less food.

After Qi Mingyuan gave the high price of 2.8 billion, no one continued to bid.

The auctioneer brought down the gavel: "Congratulations, Mr. Qi!"

A "treasure mountain" fell into the hands of The Qi Family.

Qi Mingyuan stood up triumphantly, accepting the real or fake compliments from the people around him, as if he had already seen the huge wealth this treasure mountain would bring him.

Wang Hui and Qi Ming were also full of excitement.

Immediately after, the auctioneer began to introduce the second mine, which was the waste mountain that Si Nian had mentioned, his tone much flatter than before.

The data report was also written very conservatively, with a starting price of 200 million.

The venue was quiet for a while; everyone lacked interest in this mountain that looked like it had no profit.

Qi Yin saw that Qi Mingyuan showed a very smug expression, seemingly thinking that he had victory in his grasp.

Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had caught some handle, immediately began to sneer.

"What? Qi Yin, is your money spent? Only enough to pick up others' scraps? Do you want me to lend you some?"

He deliberately raised his voice, causing people around to look over.

Qi Yin's expression did not change, and she pursed her lips: "Sure, lend me some!"

Qi Ming was choked up, touched his nose, and didn't speak.

The Qi Family's funds were exhausted, and they had no more competitiveness.

Xiao Sinian let Lu Yanxiu easily take it down for a relatively low price of 500 million.

The auction ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Qi Mingyuan held the contract for the mining rights worth 2.8 billion, his face full of suppressed joy.

He walked to Qi Yin, ignored the Xiao Sinian beside her, and feigned regret.

"Yin Yin, it's not that Dad is lecturing you, but you can't act on impulse in business. A good mine, after all, must be taken by someone with the strength to do so."

Qi Yin looked at him with no expression on her face, as if looking at an irrelevant person.

She just said lightly: "Congratulations. I hope the things inside are worth the price you paid."

Qi Mingyuan just thought she was saying sour grapes because she couldn't eat the grapes, laughed, waved the contract, and walked away arrogantly with his son and daughter-in-law.

Wang Hui looked back at Qi Yin, then at the Xiao Sinian beside her, and shook her head.

A Xiao Sinian without the Xiao Conglomerate couldn't amount to much and was not to be feared.

Watching them disappear at the entrance, Lu Yanxiu finally couldn't help but laugh and said to Qi Yin.

"Yin Yin, this move is ruthless. I'm afraid this ingrate Qi Mingyuan has emptied out his coffin money, and maybe even mortgaged quite a few things."

Qi Yin spread her hands and said innocently: "At the very least, along with the shares in their hands, it's all gone."

The corner of Xiao Sinian's mouth under the mask seemed to curve, but he didn't speak.

Qi Yin looked at him, wanting to ask something but hesitating.

Xiao Sinian knew what she wanted to ask.

"In two days, the mining team will enter the site. I will go with you then to get the things you want."

Qi Yin nodded. In this way, the massive raw stone resources needed for the space upgrade would be secured.

As for The Qi Family, what they had exhausted everything to bid for, perhaps even taking on huge debts, was just an empty shell that was about to be completely exhausted.

They had even personally buried the capital they needed to hoard life-saving supplies.

Qi Yin took over Xiao Sinian's wheelchair: "Let's go back."

In the car on the way back, it was still quiet.

But this time, the air seemed to have a bit more tacit, cold amusement.

Qi Yin looked at the rapidly retreating landscape, as if she could already see the scene in a few days.

What kind of crumbling faces would The Qi Family have when facing that empty mine and the approaching Apocalypse?

This feeling made her feel so comfortable.

Inside the mountain villa shelter.

Out of humanitarianism, Qi Yin, under the cover of Jiang Yao, hacked into the internal website of the National Security Bureau.

She posted a seemingly absurd message on it.

"Notice: The end of the world will arrive in five days. Please, citizens, hoard enough survival supplies as soon as possible to resist the Apocalypse together!"

In order to reduce unnecessary panic, the National Security Bureau tried every means to revoke this message, but it was useless.

This statement about the coming of the Apocalypse remained at the top of the list for three full days!

Most people just thought it was someone grandstanding, and only a small number of people, with a half-believing attitude, carried food and water to their homes like tortoises.

Watching the increasingly crowded crowds in major shopping malls, Qi Yin silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, even though the supplies these people hoard are far from enough for them to survive for ten years.

However, they will always live longer than those who do nothing and laugh off the Apocalypse as a joke.

Qi Yin took a look at the hidden surveillance of The Qi Family villa, her eyes extremely cold.

The four members of The Qi Family were sitting at the dining table, eating the big fish and meat carefully prepared by Lu Yingman, talking and laughing, already full of possessiveness about the treasures in the mine.

During this time, someone mentioned the online discussion about the coming of the Apocalypse, and the whole family laughed it off with disdain.

There was not the slightest self-awareness to hoard food.

Only Lu Yingman had a trace of imperceptible worry flash across her face.
