Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Qin Jia’s Conspiracy (4)

"How did he get here?" Duan Tang saw this man and was momentarily surprised.

"Who is he?" An Yiqing asked, puzzled.

"The new Family Head of the Canglang Sect, Tan Bing!"

Upon hearing the man’s identity, An Yiqing’s eyes flashed. This was the man who had taken control of the Canglang Sect just a few days after Xiong Tian’s death. It was this same person who had risen from an obscure Hall Master to soaring heights overnight!

If there was no trickery involved with this Tan Bing, she would not believe it even if she were beaten to death!

While she was deep in thought, she saw Tan Bing walking over with a dozen bodyguards towards An Yiqing.

"Miss An, hello." Tan Bing stopped in front of An Yiqing, his ordinary face wore a gentle smile, which lessened the murderous aura he carried considerably.

Among the surprised gazes of everyone in the trading hall, An Yiqing slowly stood up, nodded indifferently, and said, "Family Head Tan, what advice do you have for me?"

Tan Bing smiled slightly, and in a gentle tone, he said, "Miss An was greatly troubled by Sect Master Xiong’s death, and Tan feels deeply apologetic. I had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit your home. Fortunately, thanks to this occasion, I can extend my apologies to Miss An. I hope for your understanding!"

Tan Bing’s speech won an approving nod from An Yiqing internally. Regardless of his intentions, his words indeed left a good impression on everyone. If she were to press him harshly at this moment, she would likely incur a bad reputation.

Her eyes shimmered, and An Yiqing chuckled softly, saying in a tender voice, "Family Head Tan is speaking too formally. I had some disagreements with Sect Master Xiong previously, and it was natural for suspicions to fall on me. Fortunately, no harm came to anyone, which is the best outcome. I have always admired Family Head Tan, who was able to stabilize people’s hearts mere days after Sect Master Xiong’s death, truly a prodigy. It seems that Sect Master Xiong was shortsighted, to have stationed you, Family Head Tan, at a minor hall post previously. It was truly a waste of talent."

An Yiqing’s words were heartfelt and profound. Tan Bing’s face stiffened, and the thoughts of many in the trading hall began to stir.

Everyone present was astute. Tan Bing had been an unknown Hall Master, yet he managed to seize complete control in just a few days after Xiong Tian’s death. On deeper reflection, it was terrifying how convoluted the situations seemed. An Yiqing’s words effectively sounded an alarm about Tan Bing and the Canglang Sect to everyone.

Tan Bing had not expected such an outcome today. Holding a forced smile, he awkwardly said, "Miss An truly overestimates me. I am merely lucky to have had the chance to become Sect Leader, it was an unintentional act. Miss An, I still have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave." With that, Tan Bing turned around with his entourage and left, settling down in a secluded corner.

After Tan Bing left, An Yiqing sat back down. Seeing the curious looks around her, she smiled slightly and leisurely sipped her Longjing tea. She firmly believed that the police wouldn’t have come to take someone away without Tan Bing’s instigation behind Sect Master Xiong’s death. Although she couldn’t clear up the feud between Tan Bing and herself, since they were enemies, she couldn’t let him be at ease!

With Tan Bing seated, the bidding conference officially began. After a brief introduction by the host, the large screen on the auction stage lit up, and a series of numerical codes began to scroll incessantly.

Zhang Yusheng, sitting in front of An Yiqing, widened his eyes and stared fixedly at the large screen, afraid of missing any number.

An Yiqing couldn’t help but find it amusing. She reached out to pat his shoulder and slowly said, "Brother Yusheng, stay calm, it’ll be fine."

Zhang Yusheng nodded and relaxed a bit. It wasn’t that his mentality was poor, but he cared too much about Yuyuanzhai. It was An Yiqing’s business, and he must run it better and better.
