"Here is the King of Dragon Fish." Despite his reluctance, Bao Qirong said with great difficulty, "It is one of the most expensive species in the world and the dream fish for countless Asian tycoons. Its full name is the Super Red-tailed Golden Dragon. The value... I'm sorry, I can't estimate it..."

Silence fell, but the people were pushing forward, trying to get a closer look at the fish they would never have the chance to see in their lifetimes.

"I can give a rough price," Fei Chuntin said, "The Platinum Dragon Fish at that private viewing wasn't as good in color, but the final selling price was 1.2 million US dollars... and that was a friendly price..."

Another round of gasps followed.

1.2 million US dollars, a single dragon fish could sell for such a price.

Lei Huanxi was also stunned.

1.2 million US dollars? The "Silver Dragon" he had thought was worthless had turned into a Super Red-tailed Golden Dragon Fish because of Xiao Pang's presence?

And its value far exceeded his Golden Dragon Fish?

After a long wait for the crowd to calm down a bit, Old Feng glanced at Jiang Bin and saw the young master's face full of anger and frustration. If not for the setting, he would have already lost his temper.

But what could be done? Three experts had all said the same thing.

He cleared his throat and said with a strained voice, "Jiang Bin's Flame Rose Red Dragon, value 1...2 million... Lei Huanxi's Super Red-tailed Golden Dragon, value... 1.2 million US dollars... Lei Huanxi wins..."

"Yay!" Annie jumped up, "We won!"

"We won!" Mo Fazhi and Zhu Jinyan both punched the air.

Won? How could they have won like this? Lei Huanxi thought he was still dreaming.

A "Silver Dragon" he had looked down upon was actually worth at least 1.2 million US dollars.

That's in US dollars!

"Professor," Annie said triumphantly, "We won."

Bao Qirong trembled all over.

He was a respected fish expert and professor, always treated with respect, but today he had been humiliated by this little girl.

But it was in front of everyone.

He gritted his teeth, took off his glasses, smashed them on the ground, and left without looking back.

Annie couldn't stop laughing. She turned and saw Jiang Bin, with Old Feng's help, putting the two dragon fish into his aquarium.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Annie called out, "You said it yourself, the loser gives the winner both dragon fish. Are you cheating? Put them down."

Jiang Bin was embarrassed.

It was fine for his Golden Dragon Fish, but the Red Dragon Fish was his father's treasure. If he really lost it to Lei Huanxi, the financial loss would be secondary; where would he put his face?

He gave Xu Yanyan a look, and she quickly understood. She came to Lei Huanxi, pleading, "Brother Huanxi, let it go, we're classmates... I'll treat you to dinner tonight, okay..."

As she spoke, she even held Lei Huanxi's hand, her fingers lightly tracing his palm.

If not for Zhu Jinyan holding back Annie, she would have erupted on the spot.

Lei Huanxi suddenly smiled, "I'm a toad, remember?"

Xu Yanyan was taken aback, remembering that Lei Huanxi had once pursued her in college, and she had replied:

A toad lusting after a swan.

And at the Xihai Grand Hotel, when Lei Huanxi was still a doorman, she and Jiang Bin had also insulted him with the same words.

Lei Huanxi pulled his hand away from Xu Yanyan's, "The two dragon fish are mine, I won them. What's mine is mine, no one can take it away. You belong to Jiang Bin, not me. Even if you begged me, I wouldn't want you. You're not as valuable as you think."

You're not as valuable as you think.

Annie's heart bloomed with joy, her anger from before vanishing.

Xu Yanyan's face turned pale.

Lei Huanxi was no longer the Lei Huanxi from before, the one who had loved Xu Yanyan in college, or the one who had been a doorman.

You're not as valuable as you think.

That was Lei Huanxi's answer.

Then, Lei Huanxi's eyes fell on the aquarium, "Young Master Jiang, please return the dragon fish I won. What's mine is mine!"

What's mine is mine!

Jiang Bin, who had been humiliated by Lei Huanxi time and again, could no longer bear it.

He was the young master of the Xihai Group, a returnee from the UK, the one everyone fawned over.

But Lei Huanxi? A poor boy from the countryside who had never looked up to him.

Not only that, but he had made him lose face time and again.

How could he swallow this?

It's just money, right? Just a scolding from his father?

What's the big deal?

No way I'm letting you, Lei Huanxi, have your way today!

He had his lackey bring the aquarium to him, took it, and sneered, "You want the fish? I'll give them to you!"

He suddenly lifted the aquarium and smashed it on the ground.

Amid the sound of shattering glass and gasps from the crowd, the aquarium shattered, and the Golden Dragon Fish and Red Dragon Fish were hopping on the ground.

Jiang Bin then stomped on the two dragon fish with all his might.

Two dragon fish worth over 2 million were trampled to death by Jiang Bin.

He's gone mad, this guy is definitely mad.

"Here, take them," Jiang Bin laughed maniacally, "I lost to you, but I never said whether the fish would be alive or dead, right? Take them, you scumbag! It's just a few million, Young Master Jiang can afford it!"

Lei Huanxi's eyes narrowed.

Right, no one said whether the fish would be alive or dead.

Annie looked at Jiang Bin with disdain, "Scumbag!"

These two words further pushed Jiang Bin, who was already in a frenzy, over the edge. He looked at the large aquarium used for the competition, where the two dragon fish were swimming happily.

These two fish had made him lose all his face.

"I'll show you, damn Super Red-tailed Golden Dragon!" Jiang Bin suddenly lifted a chair and swung it at the aquarium.

Amid the gasps, just as the chair was about to hit the aquarium, a kick came flying and hit Jiang Bin's chest squarely.

Lei Huanxi!

Jiang Bin let out a scream and fell to the ground.

"Wei Sen!" Xu Yanyan cried out, rushing to his side.

"You damn woman, get lost!" Jiang Bin, in pain, lashed out at Xu Yanyan, slapping her face, "Lei Huanxi, you damn dare hit me!"

"My fish, mine," Lei Huanxi stood in front of the aquarium, "What's mine, no one can touch without my permission."

Brother Huanxi was angry.

The previous Lei Huanxi had always been smiling, but this time he was really angry.

"Such a man, so manly," Annie's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lei Huanxi in a daze.

Jiang Bin's face was contorted with rage, and he shouted at his lackey, "Kill him, I'll take the blame! Ruin his fish!"

The lackey was at a loss, unsure whether to kill Lei Huanxi or ruin his fish.

Thinking about it, the latter seemed less serious.

But as he touched a chair, Lei Huanxi said coldly, "If you dare, I'll break your hand!"

The lackey looked at Lei Huanxi, then at Jiang Bin, and quietly moved his hand away from the chair.

Jiang Bin, now on his feet, seeing his lackey's uselessness, lost his mind in anger. He rushed to Old Feng's table, grabbed a fruit knife, and lunged at Lei Huanxi.

But his hand was immediately grabbed by Lei Huanxi, who then applied force.

A light crack, followed by a pig-like scream from Jiang Bin.

His wrist was broken.

The lackey sucked in a breath, instinctively looking at his own hand.

Thank goodness, thank goodness. Good thing he didn't act rashly.

"It hurts, help me," Jiang Bin clutched his broken wrist, crying out in pain.

Mo Fazhi's face changed. Unlike Annie and Zhu Jinyan, who saw Lei Huanxi as a hero, he was more concerned.

Jiang Bin was the young master of the Xihai Group, the son of Jiang Shengli. Now his hand was broken. Would Jiang Shengli let this go?

Trouble, Lei Huanxi was really in trouble.

What to do? Mo Fazhi was at a loss.

"What's going on, what's going on?" a voice came from outside.

Then a lean middle-aged man entered with several market security guards.

"Uncle, he hit me!" Jiang Bin cried out, as if he had found a savior, "He broke my wrist."

"Scumbag," Annie snorted.

"Ah, A Bin? Your wrist is broken?" The lean man rushed to Jiang Bin, "Who did this?"

" Him!" Jiang Bin pointed at Lei Huanxi with his good hand.

"Director Wei, it's a misunderstanding," Old Feng panicked, "It's all a misunderstanding."

Someone whispered to Lei Huanxi that the lean man was Jiang Bin's uncle, Wei Guangshun, the head of the Yundong City Flower and Bird Market Management Committee.

Wei Guangshun, furious, came to Lei Huanxi, "Rebellion? Daring to hurt someone in broad daylight? Do you know who you hurt? Come to my office and explain yourself."

"Director Wei," Mo Fazhi stepped forward, maintaining his usual smile, "You need to find out who started it, right? Your nephew also used a knife. Besides, this is a matter for the police, don't you think?"

"Get lost," Wei Guangshun glared, "This is my territory, I make the rules. I'll find out what happened and then hand it over to the police. Do you have a problem with that?"

"What's the market management committee going to do?" Annie called out, "Jin Yan, call our lawyer."

"No need," Lei Huanxi stopped Annie, "I'll go to the office with Director Wei to explain the situation. You guys help me take care of the dragon fish."

With that, he glanced at Jiang Bin, a disdainful smile on his face.

(Things are unpredictable. I was just taking my father to the hospital, but he ended up in the emergency room. I rushed back to update while my sister was taking my place. Don't worry, I may not be a great writer, but I have a sense of professional ethics. I didn't miss an update on my wedding day or the day my son was born. Nothing will make me miss an update. I'll still update at least twice a day with 6,000 words, but the times will be less fixed. I'll update once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I hope for your understanding.

Speaking of my father, it's quite absurd. On the 12th, we caught a rat with a glue trap. My father tried to throw it away, but the rat bit him. He went to the hospital that day and got a shot, but he had to stop taking his diabetes medication for a month. He felt unwell that day, but being a former soldier, he's stubborn and tried to avoid the hospital. He lay in bed until today. Finally, I had to call my brother-in-law, and we practically dragged him to the hospital. His blood pressure was dangerously low, and he was taken to the emergency room. So, never try to tough it out when you're sick.)
