Chapter 18 The Ancestor Was Actually Hijacked
Just one yuan more?
The auctioneer's smile froze for a moment.
This was the first time she had ever seen a price increase of only one yuan!
"One hundred and ten million!" Yue Jinsheng chuckled and continued to raise the price. "Let's see who dares to compete with me!"
Before Wu Zhao could speak, Gu Chen said, "If you want to buy it, then bid."
Wu Zhao had no intention of letting Yue Jinsheng win the bid, so with a wicked grin, he interrupted the auctioneer when he was about to confirm for the third time: "One hundred and ten million, and one yuan."
That's infuriating! Wu Xingyun secretly gave a thumbs up.
In VIP room number five, Yue Jinsheng had victory in his grasp, but unexpectedly, he was stopped at the last moment.
He jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the bidding device, and roared, "Who dares to try and steal my people from the Gu family?! Are they looking for death?!"
"One hundred and twenty million!"
Wu Zhao sneered, "So what if I snatched it?"
She was about to grab the bidding device when Gu Chen got it before she could. He said, "Add another dollar."
"Yue Jinsheng, shall we continue bidding?"
"No matter how much you ask for, I'll always have one more than you."
His voice came out of the machine with a slight distortion, but Yue Jinsheng was all too familiar with that voice.
It's so familiar that hearing it in my dreams would wake me up in a fright.
Gu Chen! Yue Jinsheng gritted his teeth.
How could he possibly compete with him for the photos of two women!
Isn't this bastard always indifferent to women?
Damn!
"Mr. Yue, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!" Shen Jiaojiao reminded him from the side.
Yue Jinsheng remained silent for a while before giving up the bidding.
Naturally, no one else had to compete with them.
The twins were successfully photographed by Wu Zhao and his team.
Watching the iron cage being pushed down, Gu Chen said to Qing Yao, "Go and check it out. If there are no problems, take the person away."
"Yes, master."
Gu Chen turned to Wu Zhao: "You can film whatever you like."
He didn't ask why, but calmly took out a black and gold card and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
Wu Zhao said with a smile, "My purpose is to annoy the people you hate."
After all, keeping the Emperor Star in a good mood is essential for her to harness the auspicious energy!
Looking at the quiet purple aura emanating from him, Wu Zhao thought silently.
Hearing her words, Gu Chen paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I see."
The auction downstairs is still ongoing.
Surprisingly, in addition to the pair of sisters who were just auctioned, there were also several male items in the auction.
There were even children!
Looking at the crowd frantically bidding, a chill crept into Wu Zhao's eyes.
Her gaze was lowered, and a faint cold light surged in her eyes.
The gemstone on the ring flowed with a blood-red light, and the thin golden line was so tightly contracted that it was almost invisible.
Wu Xingyun suddenly felt very cold.
The cold seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow, a chilling cold that defied description.
He hissed, "What's wrong... is the cooling system broken?"
Gu Chen maneuvered his wheelchair to Wu Zhao's side, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
"Have some water." He raised his hand and placed the teacup in her hand.
Warm fingers brushed against her cold fingertips.
A faint purple aura obediently seeped from her fingertips into her body.
Wu Zhao felt the murderous intent that he couldn't suppress suddenly being soothed by some emotion.
She looked at the tea in her cup and felt a warmth in her heart.
While studying the refrigeration system, Wu Xingyun heard Wu Zhao say softly, "The greedy will be punished."
Ok?
He turned his head and saw that Wu Zhao had sat back down on the sofa and was drinking tea with his head down.
Gu Chen's wheelchair was right next to her, and the two of them looked remarkably harmonious from behind.
Wu Xingyun was a little confused when he suddenly felt no cold again.
"strangeness……"
He muttered.
The auction downstairs is already halfway through.
Some expensive artifacts began to appear on the auction stage.
Gu Chen symbolically bid on a few items before stopping the bidding.
After waiting a while, the auctioneer suddenly said, "The next item will be auctioned privately."
Not for public release?
Upon seeing the enormous raw stone that had been pushed up, Wu Zhao's eyes lit up.
"What pure spiritual energy!"
A small wisp of spiritual energy lay quietly dormant inside the massive raw stone.
“It’s that top-quality imperial green jadeite rough,” Gu Chen said.
Wu Zhao pressed down on his arm: "You absolutely must bid on this stone!"
Looking down at the slender, white fingers resting on his arm, Gu Chen nodded: "Okay."
The auctioneer continued, "The meaning of non-public bidding is that you can write down your desired price on a piece of paper, and someone will come to collect it later."
"The boss will sell the item to whoever offers a satisfactory price!"
"Please rest assured, everyone, the final winner will not be revealed at the auction."
Wu Zhao found it amusing: "It seems that Earl of the Night has a lot of ideas; he probably doesn't just want money."
Just then, Earl of the Night, who had been backstage, suddenly came out.
Under the bright lights, Wu Zhao noticed that Earl of the Night's face was somewhat dark, and the shadows of three women were wrapped around him.
"Huh?" She looked closely and was somewhat surprised: "This Earl of the Night has all five poisons. No wonder he's called the Earl of the Night... He's so black you can't even see his lifeline."
It's likely that the life-saving abilities he possessed have been worn away, otherwise Wu Zhao wouldn't have been able to see his face so clearly.
Although Count Black Night was smiling, his expression still betrayed a hint of panic and anger, and he tried his best to maintain his composure.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will check all the notes here on the spot. There will absolutely be no underhanded dealings!"
Upon hearing his promise, many people began to write down their thoughts, and soon a number of slips of paper were presented to Earl of the Night.
“I know what stakes to write down,” Wu Zhao said, picking up a pen and paper from the table and writing two lines.
She folded the paper and handed it to Wu Xingyun: "Take this out and give it to them."
"Is this really going to work?" Wu Xingyun asked with some concern after glancing at what she had written.
Her note contained only four words.
Buried with the deceased.
Extend life.
Wu Xingyun couldn't understand it, so he was worried that Earl of the Night wouldn't understand it either.
"Don't worry, he understands."
Wu Zhao twirled the ring. "It's a matter of life and death; he'll definitely understand."
"He knew his life was hanging by a thread, that he had stolen the burial goods and was now entangled with them. In a few more days, his life force would be drained away."
When Earl of the Night saw the servant deliver Wu Xingyun's note, his expression changed drastically.
He first looked up at the location of VIP room number 01, and then immediately crumpled the note in his hand into a ball and held it tightly.
However, Earl of the Night did not take immediate action, but continued to read the remaining notes.
“Interesting.” Wu Zhao observed his face and noticed that his features were constantly changing.
From being on the verge of death to suddenly dying and then passing away peacefully at old age, it all ended up being half heaven and half hell!
He was weighing two different rewards! Wu Zhao immediately discovered the reason for the uncertainty in his fate.
It seems someone else has placed the same bet as her.
Which one is it?
Corpse transporter or sorcerer?
While Wu Zhao was still guessing, Gu Chen suddenly spoke up: "If we can't get it, let's think of another way."
how come?
Wu Zhao looked up and saw that Earl of the Night's face had changed to that of someone who had died of old age.
He did indeed choose someone else's chips!
Someone stole her thunder!
