Gu Li cursed "crazy" under his breath, but still couldn’t resist the urge to click on the post.

Because he really wanted to see if this crazy poster even understood the exchange rate between US Dollar and RMB, so after opening the post, he was rubbing his hands, ready to unleash a torrent of criticism at the poster.

However, what left him utterly shocked was that after opening the post and seeing the screenshots within, Gu Li was completely dumbfounded.

"Wealthy tycoon appears in Philadelphia, poster bows in admiration. From last night to this morning, the entire Philadelphia, no, all of America has been abuzz. Someone spent 355 million US Dollars to win two of the twelve zodiac animal heads at the Philadelphia Black Market Auction House. Reporters have already begun undercover investigations and have dug out that this buyer is a Huaxia person. The details are unknown to the poster, but with the capability of American paparazzi, it’s believed that the buyer’s exact information will soon be uncovered. Let’s all wait and see. Enough talk, here are the pictures!"

Beneath this post was a series of English news reports, each one a headline, with bold capital letters, announcing that a suspected Chinese frenzy bidder had appeared in Philadelphia, splurging hundreds of millions overnight to buy two antique zodiac animal heads from Huaxia Country.

On each news screenshot, there was the same number; Gu Li reached out and counted the digits, and his entire body froze.

Earlier, he was calling the poster crazy, but now, he felt like calling himself an idiot.

Damn, it’s actually 355 million, and not in ¥ but in $.

million US dollars, how much is that again?

Gu Li instinctively took out a calculator, quickly tapping on the keys. When he saw the number displayed on the screen, he almost instinctively bit his own finger.

Ouch—that hurts.

Holy crap, Gu Li was utterly shocked.

Who the heck is this rich person who treats money like dirt, spending over 2 billion RMB on just two beast heads? The world of the wealthy is truly beyond our understanding.

Initially, Gu Li planned to troll the post fiercely, but now he couldn’t utter a word and could only type a few characters at the bottom: Bow in admiration!

What Gu Li didn’t expect was, when he just clicked in, the post had no replies, but after he responded with those four words and the system automatically refreshed, in a blink, the post already had over five pages of replies, and it continued to grow at an astounding speed.

Regarding the replies, aside from a few people cursing the poster without reading, and a few calling the bidder crazy, the vast majority held an admiration for the wealthy tycoon. Indeed, everyone felt it was a great thing that the two beast heads could be brought back to the country, and they were all extremely excited and thrilled.

However, after replying, Gu Li couldn’t suppress his curiosity. After thinking it over, he decided to bypass the firewall and visit the overseas network, partly to verify the poster’s credibility, and partly to get the latest firsthand information.

He really wanted to know which Forbes-listed billionaire threw over 2 billion RMB in one night?

Gu Li wasn’t the only one with this thought. Meanwhile, many domestic media outlets, like cats smelling fish, began to stir after learning about this big news from Philadelphia. Many started to take action, some reporters used all their connections to reach America, while some news agencies dispatched reporters overnight to Philadelphia, hoping to unearth more useful and significant news.

One could say, because of this report, a storm was brewing at home as well.

Huo Sining, although unaware that news had already been released domestically, had anticipated that this matter couldn’t be concealed and had already expected the worst possible outcome. Therefore, she didn’t care and even encouraged those with ulterior motives to act.

To make this incident big enough, she had Gu Xu call back home, tipped off Chief Lu and the propaganda department, suggesting they not suppress the story, letting it unfold as big as possible.

Chief Lu was initially worried that this matter would spiral out of control, but after Huo Sining explained the circumstances, he was left speechless. He twitched his mouth and said, "You girl are always full of these unorthodox tricks!"

Huo Sining laughed, "A great person once said, it doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat. What’s wrong with learning unorthodox tricks if they come in handy at critical moments? Besides, I’m actually helping you a lot, aren’t I? Even if we can’t catch all those with ulterior motives, at least it will serve as a warning, don’t you think?"

Chief Lu was at a loss for words; although unwilling to admit it, he indeed felt that way. Once Huo Sining explained the plan, he knew this event might be crucial and could perhaps cleanse those new media under capitalist control.

However, he would never admit this to a child, yet he didn’t expect this Huo girl to see through his intentions at a glance and bluntly point them out.

"Alright, I get it, you don’t need to worry. Bringing the beast heads back to the country is your priority. I will assist you with the rest!"

Chief Lu cleared his throat a few times to cover up his discomfort, brushed off Huo Sining with a few words, and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Huo Sining felt a bit depressed. She wanted to discuss the issue of the beast heads’ ownership with Chief Lu. Although her master had already agreed to her request, without the chief’s direct approval, she felt uneasy, fearing the old man might change his mind and deny it, in which case, her efforts would be in vain.

However, before she could open her mouth, Chief Lu rushed to hang up the phone, as if he were afraid she would bring it up.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but pout.

Things unfolded exactly as Huo Sining anticipated. When she finished lunch and returned to the hotel at noon, her sharp eyes saw several reporters carrying cameras in the hotel lobby, causing her heart to race. She quickly gave Gu Xu a meaningful look.
