48: Chapter 47, About Face!

The bidding conference officially began.

Actually, to call it a bidding conference was a bit of a misnomer; it was more like a grand auction.

This time around, the event was not initiated by the government to lease out land but rather by a wealthy businessman looking to sell property.

This businessman was a big shot, a name Fang Yi had faintly heard mentioned earlier—the tycoon was one of the three richest businessmen from Moon City.

Fang Yi naturally had no interest in buying land; he wasn’t into business, nor was he looking to make a fortune.

Besides, even if he wanted to, he’d have to pry the money out of the old man’s hands first, considering all the cash he had snagged over the years was under the old man’s control.

“Hey, I want to discuss something with you,” Fang Yi said.

“What is it?” Shen Binan didn’t even turn around.

“Uh…

that…

can I borrow some money?” Fang Yi asked.

Shen Binan silently turned to face him and said, “Weren’t you bragging about being tall, rich, and handsome with lots of money?

Why do you need to borrow from me?”

“Well…” Fang Yi felt especially frustrated at that moment and cursed the old man silently in his heart a hundred times over.

But for the sake of the Dragon Blood Ginseng, he was ready to go all out.

“I am rich, but all that money is controlled by a damned old man.

Just lend me some, don’t be so stingy.

After all, I am your personal bodyguard, throw me a bone here,” Fang Yi urged.

A flicker of surprise appeared in Shen Binan’s eternally unchanged eyes.

“How much do you want to borrow?”

Fang Yi immediately took out the brochure, flipped to the Dragon Blood Ginseng’s photo, and smiled, “Not much, just enough to win this at the auction.”

“Ginseng?” The flicker of surprise in Shen Binan’s eyes deepened.

“Yes, just this.”

“What do you need it for?” Shen Binan asked, puzzled.

With a secretive air, Fang Yi replied, “I won’t hide it from you, I’ll tell you the truth—I’m sick.”

Shen Binan said without expression, “I can see that, you definitely are sick, and quite severely at that.”
