Chapter 338 - 215: Making You Age Slower (Part 2)

Gulfstream private jets are a given, the top choice for big shots in every industry.

But the name "Voice of the Dark Night" was a bit unfamiliar.

’A new car?’

"Choose Treasure!"

[Treasure Selection Successful: Reward: Bugatti Voice of the Dark Night x1]

[A special car purchase fund of 126 million has been deposited into your account. Please proceed to the Zhonghai International Auto Show to make the purchase.]

"A 126 million car?"

Even Lin Jiang was a little surprised to hear that number.

Even in the supercar circle, a price tag of 126 million was astronomical.

In all his years, he’d never heard of any supercar brand with a launch price that high.

Lin Jiang rubbed his hands together, his palms already starting to itch with anticipation.

He called Qin Youyou. After a few minutes, he saw her walking out wearing a floral print dress and high heels.

"Brother Jiang, do you think I look good in this?" Qin Youyou asked after getting in the car.

"It’s great. Ten out of ten."

"Hehe, let’s go!"

Lin Jiang drove to the Zhonghai International Convention and Exhibition Center, where the auto show was being held.

The parking lot was filled with all sorts of cars. You could see everything from ordinary family sedans worth tens of thousands to supercars worth tens of millions.

By comparison, his Maybach wasn’t so conspicuous here. It wasn’t as eye-catching as the supercars.

Lin Jiang found an empty spot and parked the car.

After getting out of the car, Qin Youyou grabbed Lin Jiang’s arm.

"Brother Jiang, let’s go to Entrance C. My friends are all waiting there."

"Friends?"

"People from my club," Qin Youyou said. "The PRC Super Car Club."

"Let’s go."

Along the way, Lin Jiang saw several supercars. In front of each one, there were groups of people taking pictures. They didn’t leave after they were done, seemingly waiting for the owners to return so they could strike up a conversation.

He also saw a few social media influencers filming videos.

For influencers in the car scene, an event like this was not to be missed.

After a few minutes’ walk, the two of them arrived at Entrance C.

Standing conspicuously by the entrance were four people—three men and one woman.

Qin Youyou stood on her tiptoes and waved at the group.

Lin Jiang looked over as well. The group’s attire was very ordinary.

The men were mostly in shorts and short-sleeved shirts. Aside from some accessories, you couldn’t see any trendy fashion elements on them.

But in reality, every single item they wore was expensive.

A seemingly simple short-sleeved shirt could easily cost several thousand yuan.

"You finally brought your boyfriend out."

’Those sharp shoulders... isn’t his physique a little too good?’

’I bet he can go for a while. Youyou’s a lucky girl.’

Seeing Qin Youyou, the only woman in the group walked over.

She was wearing tight jean shorts and a form-fitting brown tank top. She had short hair that just reached her shoulders and wore a baseball cap. From her exquisite accessories, you could tell she was worth a fortune.

"Bringing your boyfriend out really changes you. You’re even dressed like a lady now, haha..." said one of the guys, who had granny-gray hair.

Qin Youyou chuckled and didn’t argue back. She looked at a guy with a textured crop haircut and said:

"Brother Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Lu Chongyi, the president of our club."

"Hello." Lu Chongyi extended his hand.

’This guy is pretty good-looking, even more handsome than me.’

Lin Jiang: ???

’He looks cool, but he’s got a lot going on in his head.’

"Hello."

The two shook hands, a simple greeting.

Afterward, Qin Youyou introduced the others: Liang Chaoyun, Xu Pingchuan, and Qian Yiwen.

After exchanging greetings, the group was more or less acquainted and entered the exhibition hall together.

The scene inside could be described as a sea of people; far more had come to the auto show than he had imagined.

All the brands on display here were foreign supercars. This area also had the largest concentration of young people, all busy taking photos.

Some were taking pictures of the cars, and others were taking pictures of legs.

"Brother Lu, have they announced the price yet? How much is that limited-edition Bugatti selling for?" Qin Youyou asked.

"I don’t know. They’ve kept it under extremely tight wraps. I’ve prepared 80 million, and I’m not even sure if that’ll be enough," Lu Chongyi said.

’Being able to put up 80 million for a car is seriously impressive, whether he ends up buying it or not.’

However, Lin Jiang had a slight suspicion.

’Tongzi gave me 126 million to buy the Bugatti Voice of the Dark Night.’

’So...’

’Could the car they’re after be that very same Voice of the Dark Night?’

’If so, 80 million definitely won’t be enough.’

"Do you guys think it might have been pre-ordered by someone else?"

"That’s impossible, I’ve already looked into it," Lu Chongyi said. "Now it just depends on how many competitors there are."

"I asked around. Zheng Jianghai from CTC is thinking of buying it too," Liang Chaoyun said.

"With so many people here, there are definitely others who want this car. As for how many, who knows."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Jiang felt that this whole situation had probably been gamified by Tongzi.

Although 126 million was an astronomical price, there was no shortage of wealthy big shots who could afford it.

And with their powerful connections, the car might have been bought before it even left the factory.

But now, selling it on-site like this went against all common sense. It was highly likely that Tongzi had arranged it.

This event had been turned into a game, too.

"Speak of the devil," Qian Yiwen said, her gaze shifting to a rest area not far away.

The others followed her gaze.

’They’re here too?’

In the rest area, eight people were sitting around a table. Five of them were familiar faces.

Li Wuyang, Zhou Jin, Zhou Sui, Liu Renming, and Feng Qi!

Seeing Zhou Jin and Zhou Sui sitting together, Lin Jiang suddenly realized why Zhou Sui had looked so familiar the first time he met him—it was because he looked a lot like Zhou Jin.

’Considering their names, they might even be brothers.’

"Why are they here too?" Qin Youyou muttered. "What a downer."

"I remember that Li Wuyang and Zhou Jin’s family companies are shareholders in your family’s company, right?" Lu Chongyi said.

Qin Youyou nodded. "They teamed up to oppose my dad before. If Brother Jiang hadn’t stepped in, they would have gotten their way."

"Whoa! That happened?!"

Qian Yiwen’s gossip-loving enthusiasm flared up. "How did your Brother Jiang help out?"

"He acquired 10% of the shares. With our two families’ holdings combined, we had more shares than them, so we shut them down."

The group turned in unison to look at Lin Jiang.

They were well aware of Desheng Properties’ situation. Its market value was over 10 billion.

A 10% stake was worth more than a billion!

’This man’s financial power was anything but ordinary.’

’Where did this rich guy pop up from? How have I never heard of him before?’

As if sensing they were being watched, Li Wuyang and his group looked over in Lin Jiang’s direction.

"He actually came!" Li Wuyang said, his expression grim.

"Brother Li, you know him?" Zhou Sui asked.

"A competitor. The Mu Xing I mentioned earlier was bought by him. They’re gaining momentum now and have snatched away our market share."

Feng Qi sat beside them, her heart pounding with excitement as she listened.

’She knew Lin Jiang was impressive, but she never thought he was *this* impressive.’

’Li Wuyang is a famous second-generation heir in their circle, yet he was no match for Brother Jiang. He’s so much better than Zhou Sui.’

Zhou Jin, sitting next to him, looked at his younger brother.

"From the sound of it, you know him?"

"His girlfriend is Qiqi’s best friend. I ran into him when we were out hanging out once. I don’t have a very good impression of him either."

"This guy is pretty interesting. Seems like he’s offended every single one of you."

The one who spoke was sitting in the main seat, legs crossed, with slicked-back hair. His gaze drifted over everyone lightly, as if he looked down on the whole world.

The man’s name was Zheng Jianghai, the president of the CTC Super Car Club.

The two clubs had always been at odds. For a long time, each had wanted to crush the other and become the biggest supercar club in Zhonghai.

But for all these years, they’d been locked in a stalemate, with neither able to get the upper hand.

And this time, it was another clash between the two major supercar clubs.

Whoever could buy this one-of-a-kind limited-edition supercar would gain greater fame and clout.

Whether it was Zheng Jianghai or Lu Chongyi, both were determined to win this time!

"Brother Hai, he’s probably with Qin Youyou, so he has the Qin Family’s backing. I looked into him—Berkeley Mall is also under his company. He’s got some real power. I can’t do anything about him right now. Can you think of a way for me?" Li Wuyang said.

Zheng Jianghai looked at Lin Jiang in the distance.

"To put it bluntly, he’s just got a few billion in assets. That’s nothing. After I buy this car, I’ll help you take care of him!"
