Chapter: 2489

So, Walter's plan was to absorb Wang Dongxue's income and then digest the confidential information she possessed about the Empire Group.

Next, he would take targeted steps to drain the Empire Group, and finally seize control of the entire Jinling market.

At this moment, Walter looked at the phone with a playful face, his mouth murmuring the words: "Wang Dongxue, this time I will definitely completely, thoroughly conquer you!"

The next day, Ye Chen went out to buy some cinnabar wood trinket boxes to prepare for sending medicine to everyone in the evening.

After all, it was a lifesaving god's medicine, and one had to match it with a decent packaging.

After buying the trinket box, Ye Chen received a phone call from Chen Zekai on his way back home.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Zekai became very excited and said: "Young master! The case of the old mansion's illegal fundraising has been ruled today morning!"

"Oh?" Ye Chen asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

"Chen Zekai said hastily: 'It's like this, person X has been sentenced to a life term without parole and had all their assets seized to settle the debt owed by the defendant. So, as of now, all the assets under his name will be put into the judicial auction process, including the old mansion you've been paying attention to.'"

"'Great!' Ye Chen immediately instructed: 'Old Chen, help me register my name, I want to participate!'"

"Chen Zekai said: 'Don't worry, young master. I've already registered under my driver's license name. That suite is after all the place where you and your parents used to live. If your name appears again on the bidding list, I'm afraid someone might figure out your identity, so I took the liberty of doing it, please don't blame me!'"

"Ye Chen sighed: 'I didn't think that one through, then let's participate in the auction under my driver's license name. No matter what, we have to get that suite.'"

"Chen Zekai smiled: 'Don't worry, young master. That old mansion has already been listed as a protected building area under the scope of preservation and demolition restrictions. It hardly has any commercial value, so the starting price is only RMB 880,000. I estimate it won't be bid by anyone else, even if there are bids. When the price goes up to RMB 2-3 million, I think we can still get it.'"

"Good." Ye Chen let his guard down and asked: 'What time does the auction start?'"

"Chen Zekai replied: 'The tentative schedule is next Monday at 10 am.'"

"Ye Chen asked again: 'Will we be going to the courthouse or participating online then?'"

"Chen Zekai explained: 'Judicial auctions are now basically conducted online, openly and transparently. I've already registered for it and paid the bidding deposit. From next Monday at 10 am, you can start bidding on the judicial auction website.'"

"'Good!' Ye Chen smiled slightly and praised: 'Old Chen, this matter is handled very well, thank you for your trouble.'"

"Chen Zekai hurriedly said: 'Young master, you're too polite about these small matters. They're just a matter of stretching out your hand.'"

"Ye Chen sighed and said: 'For you, it's just a matter of stretching out your hand, but for me, the significance is too great.'"

"After that, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but be overcome with a wave of melancholy."

"Honestly speaking, my parents have passed away nearly 20 years ago, yet every time I think about it, I still feel a deep pain in my heart."

..."and at the same time, there was Du's family mansion."

"Du Haiqing had been paying close attention to Ye Longxiang's old mansion and learned from the old butler that the house would be auctioned off soon."

"She immediately became excited and said to the old butler: 'Uncle Wang, please help me register my name. I want to participate in this auction!'" JrNovels.com
