"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Watching the price in the auction soar, Sheng Hong gritted his teeth with a smile on his face and whispered to Xu Ke.
"You guessed right. I did it on purpose. From the beginning, I wanted this piece of land," Xu Ke nodded, speaking candidly.
"What about just now?" Sheng Hong was momentarily stunned by Xu Ke's straightforward admission, but anger quickly replaced his daze, and he even spoke with a grinding intensity.
"I was just joking with you, Sheng. You seemed quite happy just now, didn't you?" Xu Ke said with a smile on his face, "If you're planning to thank me, there's no need. After all, we've known each other for years; it's only right." Xu Ke's kind understanding nearly caused Sheng Hong to vomit blood in rage.
"You're good at this." Sheng Hong forced out each word through gritted teeth.
"I'll get even better," Xu Ke replied nonchalantly.
"Seven billion."
