Chapter 226: A Greater Conspiracy

Let's go!

A hammer falls.

The audience applauded and applauded.

Today's auction was supposed to be just an invitation from some of the powerful and wealthy people in the upper class of Beijing, but for some reason the number of people who attended was far beyond expectations, and the venue was full of people, and even people were standing in the aisles.

On the stage just now, the young male auctioneer could feel the shock of this scene as soon as he made the final decision.

In addition to a few precious and rare jewels on the table, the most important protagonist is the necklace of rubies.

A total of 22 oval diamonds, precisely sized and circumstantial, are framed by a pear-shaped ruby, adding to the sparkle of this already luxurious creation, which can be seen from every angle.

"Distinguished guests, next, we are about to enter the most exciting part of today's auction, and our organizer will personally auction this necklace for us on behalf of Wei Lao. The auctioneer made an inviting gesture and greeted the elderly man who was sitting in the center of the first row of the guest seats.

Ahem.

The old man looks to be seventy or eighty years old, with a black dress, silver and white sequins on both sides of the neckline, and his silver hair is neatly combed, although he looks old but in good spirits, he is fat, has a big belly, and his narrow eyes are full of fine light.

"Thank you for joining us today. ”

As soon as he spoke, he was full of energy, his voice was like a bell, and the aftermath echoed around the ceiling above, and his momentum and posture could simply compete with a young man in the prime of life.

Below, a few women dressed in noble women's breath discussed in private.

"This old man Wei is good enough, he will be eighty this year, right?

"People just raised a little girl, I heard that it was only a few years after graduation, and he was taken down when she entered the company, and there are flowers all day long, and cow dung can be fattened for a few more days!"

The women covered their mouths and stole fun.

Then, a man next to them, as if dissatisfied, interrupted their whispering.

"It's going to be a race soon

Shoot, stop gossiping!"

The man, who was thirty or forty years old, stared at the ruby necklace on the stage with a pair of eyes, as if the blood-red light was reflected in his eyes, and half of his body involuntarily leaned forward, and every movement revealed his longing.

Ye Dingxi mingled in this group of guests, quietly looking at the state of the people around him.

It's quirky indeed.

From the moment the guests at the auction entered, he noticed that something was wrong.

Everyone, young and old, will involuntarily stare at the ruby necklace on the stage, not so much admiration, but rather a kind of naked desire and coveting.

That necklace, when it was displayed just now, Ye Dingxi had already observed it carefully.

The ruby composition inside is almost the same texture as the gem on the brooch sent by Yin Qiaoqiao, and there is also a cloudy mist hidden in the middle, although it is not as simple as the tracking technique that can be seen through at a glance, but this is more indicative of ...... There's something hidden in the ruby.

On the stage, Wei Lao had personally introduced the composition and characteristics of the ruby necklace.

As time passed, the appearance of those people in the audience became more and more obvious, as if they couldn't help but be attracted by the necklace, their eyes were burning and obsessed, and a few of them were more like they were hooked, and they couldn't help but squeeze others to the front.

Seeing such a situation, Ye Dingxi seemed to have some understanding that in today's auction, wanting to catch the female ghost who appeared next to Zhu Yan was only secondary.

The real purpose of the Wei family and the Meng family...... There is an even bigger conspiracy hidden!

"Alright, everyone, don't be impatient!"

Wei Lao gave an order, and the noise of the audience faded down, and he motioned for Wei Luomi to take out the ruby necklace himself, and stood in the middle of the stage with the dark red velvet backing.

Because it is out of the glass case, the ruby necklace is completely exposed in front of everyone, and the enchanting brilliance and texture, the intertwined color of diamonds and gemstones, almost steals everyone's breath.

Everyone, looking at the necklace in a daze, was stupid and drunk.

Only Ye Dingxi stood in place and calmly examined everything on and off the field.

He wasn't unaffected in the slightest, the moment the ruby necklace came out of the chest, light

There was a strange air flow that covered the entire venue, and he was not spared, enveloped by the aura.

Immediately afterward, there is an uncontrollable craving.

The kind of fighting spirit that seems to be inspired from the bones, even if he wants to die, wants to take the necklace in his hands, and under his forcible restraint, he does not completely dominate his mind.

As for the others, they had basically fallen, gathered under the stage, one squeezing one closer to the past, and even some people were dumbfounded, slowly reaching out their hands to reach the necklace on the stage, eager to touch it.

The Wei family turned a blind eye to all this.

Whether it was Wei Lao, who was presiding over the auction, or Wei Luomi, or even the other Wei family members who were standing still in the audience, they seemed to be used to the scene in front of them.

Even, Ye Dingxi saw a trace of cold and strange arc at the corner of Wei Lao's mouth.

"I want it, this chain! 50 million, no, 80 million! I want it!"

Before Wei Lao announced the start of the auction, someone was already impatient to shout.

Immediately afterwards, several people were afraid of falling behind, and immediately asked for the price.

"One hundred million!"

"I'll give 150 million!"

"Dollars, I'll use dollars! 30 million dollars!"

“......”

Those people, as if they were stunned, one voice pressed the other, constantly offering higher prices, and even some, Ye Dingxi knew that they didn't have such a family background at all, if they really took this necklace, it would not be an exaggeration to go bankrupt.

For the sake of a necklace, do not hesitate to go bankrupt?

Ye Dingxi's originally sharp gaze was suddenly shocked, and at this moment, he really understood what the hell the Wei family was doing!

Meanwhile.

The door to the auction hall was forcibly slammed open.

The moment Zhu Yan and I stood at the door, we were instantly frightened by the scene in front of us.

The audience was crowded like crazy, shouting, or pushing and crowding, and even worse, their faces were red, and a wisp of pale red blood gushed out from the top of everyone's head, and sucked it into the ruby necklace on the stage!
