Chapter 3: Piracy
Although the first few items were successfully auctioned, the auction process was surprisingly intense. There were several buyers bidding for each other, and Ming Qinghua, which was originally worth two million, was forcibly raised to 200 million.
It's a bit crazy, but it's enough to see how solid the buyers who participate in the auction are. Now I hope that this situation will not occur in the kyanite glass box.
Otherwise, I really don't know if Comrade Cao can afford it......
"Don't think about it, the next one is the kyanite glass box. In any case, you have to take it down, and you understand the importance of this box better than anyone else. Ah Cheng on the side saw my panic and tried to stabilize me.
"Of course, after all, it all started with these boxes. With this one more box, maybe everything will be clear. With that, I breathed a sigh of relief and encouraged myself.
"Congratulations to this buyer for obtaining the Tang Sancai dragon pattern glaze bottle. The next lot in the auction is a black glazed box. β
Here it is, kyanite glass box!
"The ink-black glazed bowl box was obtained from a tomb of the Southern Dynasty on the border, the box is printed with a special pattern, and the material that makes up the box is also a rare metal, and this box can even shine naturally in the dark night, like a night pearl......" The host explained while taking out the box.
By projecting it onto the big screen, I confirmed that it was an aquamarine glass box, and I couldn't help but get nervous again.
Looking around again, I saw that many buyers were whispering. I don't know if they have the desire to buy.
"The starting price, two million yuan." The host broke out the price.
I looked around and saw that no one had raised their hand, so I relaxed a little, raised my hand, and shouted, "Two million!" β
"Okay, this buyer paid two million, does anyone else offer it......" The host paused, looked under the stand, and continued, "Two million at a time...... Two million twice ......"
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly and my mood completely improved......
"Five million!"
Just then, a voice behind me suddenly shouted loudly.
I was shocked and looked back, but I couldn't find who shouted.
"Five million, well, someone out of five million. There is nothing more expensive than this. The host paused and said, "If not, five million at a time,...... Five million ......"
"Eight million!" Ah Cheng, who was beside me, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "I'll give eight million!" β
"Are you crazy? Eight million?" I almost screamed.
Not only that, but I heard someone in the back row say contemptuously: "A glass box costs such a high price? Hmph, then I'll join in the fun. β
It was a girl's voice, I looked back and saw Miss Hua and a girl sitting in the back giggling, and then the girl raised her hand and shouted, "I'll give 10 million!" β
"I'll fork your uncle!" I cursed secretly, and my impression of Miss Hua was a little lower.
"What now? It's already over 10 million. I turned my head to Ah Cheng and said.
"Don't worry, even if it's over 100 million, if Comrade Cao can't be trusted, don't rely on him, and I'm not on my side. This box should never be taken away from anyone else. Ah Cheng said lightly, and was about to raise his hand again.
At this time, the voice of the person who had bid before behind sounded again: "Twenty million!" β
I quickly stood up and looked back, and finally found the man. It was a man sitting in a corner with his belly in a black top hat.
The man deliberately lowered the brim of his hat, as if he was deliberately hiding himself. However, the first time I saw him, I immediately remembered the man I had seen in the car before, which looked like a black hole.
It turned out to be him......
Who is he, so desperate to take the box?
"Is there a higher price, then twenty million at a time-"
"Fifty million!" Ah Cheng raised his hand again and shouted.
The audience immediately was in an uproar and looked at us. At this time, I had already sat back as I was, accompanying Ah Cheng to accept so many gazes.
However, Ah Cheng is much calmer than me. He sat there calmly and naturally, ignoring the gaze of others.
"What, 50 million, a glass box is worth 50 million? This person burns a lot of money, or is it on top? Don't play, don't play. β
"You, you shouldn't be involved, hahaha, let's watch the show."
The two girls in the back row finally stopped a little......
"Fifty million once, fifty million twiceβ" the host shouted as he hammered it.
"Fifty million three times! Deal! The host announced loudly, and at the same time, the spotlight also shone on Ah Cheng, "I invite this buyer friend to come up and receive the auction item." β
"I'll help you cushion first, and you can explain it to Comrade Cao." Ah Cheng patted me on the shoulder and walked up.
At the same time as Ah Cheng came to the stage, the host also picked up the kyanite glass box. Just when the host wanted to hand him the kyanite glass box. The lights in the audience suddenly went out.
I was startled and stood up instantly. But this sudden darkness made it impossible for me to see the situation around me for a while.
However, I heard some "rustling" sounds......
After a few seconds, the lights came back on. I ignored the exciting lights and looked at the stage.
I saw that Ah Cheng and the host both fell on the stage, but the kyanite glass box was gone!
"Oops, there's a thief." The host reacted quickly, took out the walkie-talkie on his waist and said, "Block all exits of the night wall, and the auction items have been stolen." Repeat, block all exits, lots stolen, lots stolen. β
"What's going on? Why are there thieves......" I heard Hua Yumo behind me say in surprise, "No, it's over, if this is really stolen, how can I explain it to the seller." β
"Momo, don't cry, the security facilities are so good, you can definitely get it back." Another girl was comforting her.
By the way, the man......
I looked back, and sure enough, he was no longer in his original position. Now, I can probably guess who the thief is.
However, if he has such ability, why did he participate in the auction before?
I subconsciously looked around again, but found him in another corner. The man leaned against the wall, seemingly oblivious to the panic in front of him.
He just leaned there, and suddenly, he looked up.
Green eyes?
I was shocked that his eyes were glowing green......
Is this another night eye?
I vaguely remember that Black Hole said that the phenomenon of the night eye is not only in him, but also in other people. Due to the different ways in which night eyes are obtained, each person has different differences, which may be caused by the different colors of light coming out of the eyes.
So, this guy is also a person with night eyes?
"The box was stolen, and when the lights went out, I could clearly feel that someone was next to me, and in that instant, I was punched by that person." I don't know when, Ah Cheng walked down and whispered in my ear.
"I know, it could be that man, he's the one who just competed with you, and the key thing is, he has a pair of night eyes." I reached out and quietly pointed in the direction where the man was.
"Huh? He has night eyes......" Ah Cheng wondered.
"Yes, green light, did you see two green lights just now?" I asked.
"It doesn't seem to be, it happened so fast. However, I caught the man, and the man seemed to be a woman......" Ah Cheng muttered, "That feeling, not like a man's ......"
"Like this?" My eyes widened.
"I don't know what I caught, it seemed to be an arm, but the other person's arm was really thin. Maybe it's a skinny male. Anyway, I don't think it's the man. Ah Cheng explained.
"Please go back to the first floor, we need to check the site, and the auction needs to be suspended. Thank you for your cooperation. Understand. The host shouted from the stage with a microphone.
"They won't call the police?" I was taken aback for a moment, but thought of why.
Indeed, these auction items are estimated to basically come from the wrong way, even if the Yeqi Hotel wants to, the sellers behind this auction are probably not going to agree, and the Yeqi Hotel naturally does not dare to offend customers.
Ah Cheng and I had to go back to the first floor and wait in the hall with everyone......
While I waited, I searched around for the man with the night eye. But I haven't seen him since I came up. Where will he go?
At this time, Miss Hua actually came over with that best friend, and said: "Yo, this is not Wang Hao, why are you here, oh, I remember, you are the one who just auctioned the glass box." You're really on top, and you actually took 50 million to auction. It's for that Feng Ye, right? By the way, what about others? β
"He didn't come for something." I didn't want to talk to Miss Hua a little, so I simply perfunctory her.
But Miss Hua didn't relent: "You are so obsessed with that box? What is that box for? β
"What do you want to do? I can't buy a box? You don't care what it's for. I said with a hint of malice.
"Do you want to be so fierce? If I hadn't made a move just now, how would I still have your share, hum ......" The best friend on the side laughed contemptuously.
"Yu Xin, don't do this." Miss Hua unexpectedly stopped her best friend. Then, she turned to look at me again, "Actually, I know that this box is the most special of these auction items, and my dad has also told me how important this box is." Originally, we weren't going to shoot ......."
Miss Hua realized that she had slipped her mouth and immediately covered her mouth.
But I understood what she meant, so I asked, "You are the seller of the box?" Who are you? β
"Yumo, don't tell him." Yu Xin on the side stopped.
But Hua Yumo moved her mouth and still wanted to say it......
Just then, a security guard hurriedly ran over and reported: "We have found the thief and have recovered the box." β
"Take me there, who is the thief?" Hua Yumo exclaimed.
"It's a woman, over there, she was just about to climb through the door of the underground garage when we found her subdued." The security guard said, leading Hua Yumo away.
"What are you doing in a daze, let's go up and have a look." Ah Cheng came out of nowhere and kicked me by the way.
I let out an "oh" and followed......
