"What!"

Cheng Dongliang was shocked at the news, someone actually wanted to drive Li Xiaoyao away!

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I'll come up right now!" Cheng Dongliang hung up the phone and immediately headed upstairs.

Li Xiaoyao put his phone away and said to Uncle Zhong, who was yelling at him, "Elder Cheng will be up in a moment. He will tell you whether I can stay."

"Elder Cheng?" Uncle Zhong frowned and asked, "Which Elder Cheng? Who is Elder Cheng?"

The rich second-generation officials behind him sneered, "Elder Cheng, huh? You talk as if you know some highly powerful figures."

Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "Cheng Dongliang, Elder Cheng."

"Cheng Dongliang?"

"That name sounds familiar. It seems like I've heard it somewhere."

Uncle Zhong and Zhou Chong also frowned slightly. Suddenly, Uncle Zhong's eyebrows lifted as he said, "The Elder Cheng from Cheng Family of Lu Province!"

"The Cheng Family of Lu Province?"

Everyone was at a loss until someone exclaimed, "Could it be the Cheng Family from the military district of Lu Province?"

"I remember, the current Family Head of the Cheng Family in Lu Province's military district is named Cheng Dongliang!"

There was an uproar among the crowd, but then they looked at Li Xiaoyao with sneers on their faces.

Lian Ping said with disdain, "Are you saying that you know Elder Cheng from the Cheng Family of Lu Province? Haha, Li Xiaoyao, you must have just come out of a mental hospital, right? What wild fantasy. Elder Cheng from the Cheng Family of Lu Province is a big shot, not someone a little minion like you could know."

Another said, "Don't even talk about you, even we might not be able to have any contact with Elder Cheng. Such a person would definitely not bother with an auction like this."

Zhou Chong stood to the side, arms folded, and looked at Li Xiaoyao with a cold laugh, shaking his head disappointedly, he said to Lin Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, it seems like the man you like is just a braggart who is of no use."

Uncle Zhong didn't speak but looked at Li Xiaoyao with some doubt and surprise.

Others might not know, but Uncle Zhong was mainly responsible for the operation and flow of the auction, and he was quite aware of some internal movements and changes.

Just last night, he suddenly received a notice that Cheng Dongliang, the Family Head of the Cheng Family from Lu Province's military district, would be attending today's auction.

As the rich second-generation official just mentioned, Elder Cheng would never bother attending an auction of this class. However, something must have changed last night, leading to Cheng Dongliang's sudden decision to join.

This news was only known to a few people within the auction, and Uncle Zhong was one of them.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong's gaze towards Li Xiaoyao had somewhat changed.

Could it be that this young man actually knew Elder Cheng?

But he was just a driver, how could he possibly have any connection with Elder Cheng?

As he thought this, Uncle Zhong regained his sense of reason.

Yes, he was just a driver. Although he didn't know where he had gotten Elder Cheng's name, it was impossible for him to know Elder Cheng personally.

He really was getting more cowardly with age, to be frightened by a few words casually spoken by a mere driver.

"Sir, please leave now or I will have the security throw you out. However, I think none of us would like to see that happen, so you had better leave on your own," Uncle Zhong said sternly.

If before, Li Xiaoyao felt that arguing with these people would demean him, then after his mention of Cheng Dongliang's name and their continued attitude, a flicker of anger stirred within him.

"You can try to have the security throw me out, but trust me, if you do, no one will be able to save you!" Li Xiaoyao said coldly.

"Hmph!" Uncle Zhong snorted angrily and ordered, "Security, throw this troublemaker out."

Four or five security guards immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab Li Xiaoyao.

Lin Yuanyuan stepped in front of Li Xiaoyao and said angrily, "Who dares to touch him?"

Zhou Chong saw Lin Yuanyuan defending Li Xiaoyao like this and his expression involuntarily turned cold. With anger in his voice, he said, "Kid, do you only dare to hide behind a woman?"

Li Xiaoyao slightly lifted his gaze and said, "People who only know how to use petty tricks aren't worth a second glance from me."

Zhou Chong immediately flared up, took two steps forward, his voice low and angry, and said, "Kid, repeat what you just said!"

"Truly a driver with a death wish."

"He actually dares to speak to Brother Chong like that, doesn't he know that Brother Chong in the military never gets bullied but always bullies others?"

"Sitting and waiting for this driver to be turned into a pig's head by Brother Chong!"

Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "What gives you the right to make me repeat myself?"

Zhou Chong's eyes narrowed, and his fists clenched together, making a series of crackling sounds.

"Kid, you really are arrogant!" Zhou Chong pulled Lin Yuanyuan aside, clenched his right fist, carrying the force of ten thousand pounds, and aimed for Li Xiaoyao's face.

"Stop!"

Just then, an angry roar came from the entrance of the venue.

Uncle Zhong saw Cheng Dongliang walking over, furious, and his legs went weak instantly as he trembled, "Cheng... Old Master Cheng!"

"What?" Zhou Chong, about to strike Li Xiaoyao, heard Uncle Zhong's words and his whole body trembled. At the last moment, he hurriedly pulled back and then turned to look towards the source of the voice.

The old man in the suit, with white hair and a white beard, and an enraged expression, was indeed Cheng Dongliang!

The crowd heard Uncle Zhong's voice and, looking at this elderly man, they were puzzled, whispering, "Is this Old Master Cheng?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Old Master Cheng really has an extraordinary presence!"

"Seeing Old Master Cheng so angry, could something have happened?"

"Do you remember? Just now, that driver said he knew Old Master Cheng..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately fell silent.

Li Xiaoyao said he knew Old Master Cheng, and they thought it was just hot air, but now seeing Old Master Cheng appearing here, they suddenly felt that what Li Xiaoyao said might actually be true.

"Old Master Cheng, why have you come?" Zhou Chong put on a smile, a stark contrast to the cold demon he was just moments before, showing just how noble Old Master Cheng's status really was.

"Hmph!" Old Master Cheng glared at him angrily and said, "If I hadn't come, there might have been a death!"

Zhou Chong awkwardly smiled and stepped back. He thought Old Master Cheng was worried that he might kill Li Xiaoyao, not knowing that Old Master Cheng's worry was that Li Xiaoyao might kill him in a fit of rage.

Old Master Cheng turned to face Li Xiaoyao, with an apologetic look, and said, "Mr. Li, I apologize for my tardiness."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Then he turned to look at Uncle Zhong, who was trembling, and asked, "May I inquire, is the invitation still needed?"

Old Master Cheng was momentarily stunned, then frowned and glared at Uncle Zhong, interrogating, "What invitation?"

Uncle Zhong, with a trembling voice, went through the earlier events, though he downplayed most of it.

After listening, Old Master Cheng angrily said, "It's an honor for Jiangdu Industry to have Mr. Li attend the auction. How dare you demand an invitation from Mr. Li? And to even consider expelling Mr. Li without an invitation? You've got some nerve!"

The many youths witnessing this sudden turn of events were stunned; they couldn't comprehend what kind of person Li Xiaoyao really was to receive such protection even from the family head of the Cheng Family of Lu Province.
