"Are you threatening me?" Li You Ran didn't think she had no ability to resist.

  "No! I'm just stating a fact! An auction, first you need to prove it belongs to you! And in the process, the people at the auction house have countless ways to make you disappear. Even if the auction house people follow the rules, but you should know! In this world, there are always some people who can ignore the rules, and behind every auction house, there are such people backing them up. Those ordinary auction items they won't touch, even if they're valuable, but this blue gemstone is an exception, do you know why?"

  Li You Ran licked her dry lips and asked: "Why!"

  "Because it's currently the largest blue sapphire I've ever seen! It's almost as big as the Star of Africa! Do you know what the Star of Africa is?"

  Li You Ran shook his head! He didn't care about jewelry and that sort of thing before. Even if he did, it wouldn't have mattered. He couldn't afford it anyway.

  "The sceptre of the Queen of England is right here! Do you understand? It's so precious, even if I bought it, I wouldn't dare to take it out like this! I would cut it into small pieces and make a set of jewelry to auction off! So I can only give you 400 million, if you're not willing, then forget it! But I advise you, don't leak it out, or else you'll be in big trouble!"

  Li You Ran fell into a struggle! He found out that it's not that you can turn good things into money, but rather sometimes when you don't have the ability to protect these things, they become your burden. That's what "carrying jade and committing a crime" means.

  After struggling, Li You Ran chose to trade, he handed the sapphire over to Yuan Li Fei, the pain in his eyes made Yuan Li Fei almost unbearable.

  "Don't mind it! The thing is, this stuff is too hot to handle. I can say for sure that in any other place, people would think of snatching it first rather than buying or selling! After all, such wealth is too tempting, and you're obviously a nobody with no power or influence! I don't know where you got this from, and I don't want to know! But what I'm doing here is saving you!"

  Li You Ran sneered and said: "Is that so? Then shouldn't I thank you instead?"

  Yuan Lifeng didn't take Li You Ran's attitude to heart, and instead said with a matter-of-fact expression: "You should be thanking me, because I'm at least someone with a bottom line, not taking advantage of you. Give me your account number! I'll transfer the money to you right away!"

  Li You Ran read out the card number in a wooden tone, and then saw Yuan Li Fei operate on the computer for a while. On Li You Ran's phone, he received a successful transfer message, looking at those consecutive zeros! However, Li You Ran didn't show any excitement at all, feeling suffocated to the extreme today.

  "Don't think too much! At least you're already a multimillionaire, and many people won't be able to reach this level in their lifetime. Work hard! If you're successful enough, things like this won't happen again. Actually, there's a saying from the West that's quite right: being weak is a sin." Yuan Lihui finished speaking and walked out, having obtained the treasure, she didn't dare stay by his side, and had to immediately return to the capital city.

  Li You Ran walked on the street, her mind full of what Yuan Li Fei said today, especially that one sentence: being weak is a sin. Ah, she was indeed too weak. Even with the existence of the temple, it could only provide her with money, but not the ability to protect that money. Fortunately, she met someone who was reasonable today. If it were a strong-arm tactic, Yuan Li Fei would have said something like "this is man-made" and thrown 100 or 200 yuan at her, or even directly kicked her out. She had no power to retaliate.

  Thinking of this, Li You Ran broke out in a cold sweat! She had been reckless! She hadn't thought that this sudden wealth would bring her such disaster. If she had developed gradually, things wouldn't have turned out like this today. But it seemed as though she had lost herself, and under the enticement of money, she almost fell into an irredeemable abyss.

  "Power! Influence! That's right, I need a power that can protect myself, a complete power of my own. Only in this way can I protect my property from being invaded." Li You Ran finally figured it out! Being slightly rich is not realistic.

  Even if no one finds out, can you be content with a life of humble and timid existence? Having some money but not daring to show it off, and being easily bullied by anyone with a bit of power?

  Others may not have a way, but I do! I have my own temple! It can help me and bring me enormous wealth, and then I can develop my own power on earth. In that case, can't I protect myself? Look at those rich men and big financial groups in the United States! Who dares to move them?

  If he had that kind of power, would he have lost so much money today? Even with a little less power, it wouldn't be like this. Yuan Lifen was right, without real strength, you can't even hold on to yourself.

  Li You Ran set a goal in her own heart! Establish her own power! And all of this depends on the Temple now!

  Li You Ran touched the card on his chest, this was his capital, when he developed it, he would take back that blue sapphire personally!

  Li You Ran has walked out of his loss, after all, he didn't gain nothing, at least Yuan Li Fei left him 40 million, which comforted his heart a little, thinking that he was indeed greedy. When he had 2 million, he was shocked for a long time, but when he got 40 million, he became greedy and wanted everything because he knew it was worth over 100 million.

  Since there is no power! Then create a power for yourself, Li You Ran thought, and even took out a small notebook to write and draw on it. What is the easiest power to establish? Hmm! Right, a company! If you create your own company, it's best to be a security company! Just like Blackwater in the United States, it can even develop into mercenaries! No! Mercenaries won't do, the national situation isn't suitable!

  Li You Ran struck out the mercenary option and focused on the security company, thinking to herself that with her wealth, she could find a few brave and capable individuals among the many idle people in society. At least it sounded better than some gang or something, and wouldn't attract unwanted government attention.

  At least this procedure has nothing to do with me! It seems that money is the only way to open the door now! Alas, I don't know if 400 million is enough. Li You Ran was anxious and scratched his head, then suddenly realized he wasn't good at management after all! That means he still needs to find a manager, and in order not to arouse suspicion about the source of his money, he also needs to find a way to make more money! At least he can't let people think that his money came out of thin air!

  "I'm going, it's such a hassle! It didn't seem like much when I was watching, but now that it's happened to me, everything is coming out!" Li You Ran sighed.

  Look at their home! The protagonist crossed over and was doing all sorts of business, booming with success. But when he made his first big deal, he lost nearly 100 million. If it wasn't for meeting a kind-hearted person, he might have even lost his life. For others who cross over, building momentum is incredibly easy, heroes from all walks of life make way, and tigers come to surrender! But for him, even starting a company requires him to plan everything himself.

  Li You Ran is indeed not the material for making plans! In the end, he threw down his pen: "How annoying! Can't do it anymore! No big deal, I'll just spend money to hire bodyguards! If one isn't enough, I'll hire a bunch of them, that should be fine, right?"

  It suddenly dawned on Li You Ran, "Right! Why bother to start a company yourself? Just hire bodyguards! As long as the secret isn't exposed, you're safe! There are so many rich people, but have you seen any of them start their own security companies just for safety?"

  Li You Ran patted his own head! Stupid enough! He has a temple, and there are people to deal with him who can run away at any time! As long as he protects his parents well, that's all! That's right! Try to see if the temple can take people through later! If it works, then nothing will go wrong!

  Having figured out his own advantages, Li You Ran calmly entered the dream! This day was exhausting, and he didn't even have time to rest. By the time he had thought things through, it was already midnight. His parents hadn't come to his room to call him, and he didn't know if they knew he was back.

  The next day, Li You Ran came out of his room early and happened to see his old dad coming out of the kitchen, saying "Good morning, Dad!"

  "Huh? Didn't you say you were going out to do business for a few days? How come you're back after just two days?" Dad felt very strange, was he not planning on doing business again?

  "Oh! You're talking about that? I've already made a fortune from it! Didn't you just come back yesterday? As soon as I got home, I went to my room and slept like a log. It really exhausted me." Lying came easily to him, a skill he had honed since childhood, but now it was only to keep his parents from worrying about him.

  "When you're tired, take a good rest and let your mom cook two dishes to comfort you. Actually, there's no need to work so hard outside, with those two million it's almost enough! Our family of three doesn't use much money anyway." Li father said with a smile, his son being successful is more delightful than anything else, this time he went out and earned how much again he didn't care, as long as his own son is safe that's all that matters.

  "En en! Must let mom make a few more dishes, right? This time we earned a bit more! Let's go see the house tomorrow!" Li You Ran said.

  "Looking for a house? This one is good enough, why bother looking for another house?! If you want to buy a house, wait until you get married!"

  "Dad! Don't you feel cramped living in this 80-square-meter house? Now that your son is making a lot of money, isn't it good for me to buy you a villa?" Li You Ran said with one arm around his father's shoulder.

  "Get out! Don't talk to me like that! I think this house is just fine! It's what I've been saving up for year after year! What's wrong with you? You're looking down on it, and I'll tell you something, you grew up in this very house!"

  "Yes! I grew up here! It's even bigger than me! I know, but the villa has a parking lot and a swimming pool! And I'm going to buy a car too! How about it? Are you going or not?"
