Chapter 81: Unexpected
Ye Yu stared at the bracelet inlaid with blood rubies on the big screen in amazement, and suddenly recalled the item that Xu Yanwei showed to him at the beginning. — basket. Hue. Book. Bar. LanseshuBa.
That style, that gemstone, that color...... It's too similar to what Xu Yanwei was in his hands at that time! Although the villa was only a glimpse at that time, it really impressed Ye Yu, and the bracelet in front of him now was surprisingly similar to the one he saw at the beginning!
But is this really the Bloodkey Bracelet? I remember it was already ...... at that time
Ye Yu was shocked and suspicious, and was speechless for a while. Seeing Ye Yu so stunned, Xiaohua couldn't help but be a little curious: "Do you recognize this bracelet?" ”
"Hmm......" Ye Yu nodded. I had seen this thing in the Zheng family villa before, it seemed to be Zheng Qiu's relics, I originally thought it had been burned in that fire, but I didn't expect it...... It actually appeared on the black market. ”
"Wait, that means someone brought this bracelet out of that villa fire?" Xiaohua's eyes widened. "If that's the case, it could only be the other survivors, could it be the feng shui master surnamed Liang you mentioned earlier?"
"It shouldn't be possible, he and I were already near the exit before I passed out, and with the tragic explosion at the time, he didn't have time to go back and get the bracelet......"
"This is strange, could it be that there were other survivors of that fire besides you?" Xiaohua lowered her head and muttered, and Ye Yu was also full of doubts in her heart, if it was really like what Xiaohua said, then who was this extra "survivor"? The number of people is not right......
"Having said that, since this bracelet is placed in the finale, it should be worth a lot, do you know where it came from?" Xiaohua asked curiously.
"Uh...... What ...... this" Ye Yu responded vaguely, and was about to think about how to explain to Xiaohua in his heart, but he heard the male host on the stage speak again.
"This bracelet was unearthed in an ancient tomb in the Western Regions more than 1,700 years ago, and this ancient tomb is the tomb of the nobles of the ancient kingdom of Loulan that was accidentally discovered more than ten years ago and caused a sensation!"
The scene was in an uproar, and the guests in the venue exchanged heads and ears, and the voices of discussion came and went.
"I think you must have known before that the scale of the noble tomb of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and the exquisiteness of the burial goods are the highest among the ancient tombs of the Western Regions found so far, and there are many rare treasures that are difficult to estimate, and they are of great archaeological value." The male host glanced at the crowd of people at the scene and continued to smile and introduce it.
"It's a pity that the ancient tomb was once destroyed by tomb thieves, and a large number of treasures inside were lost and missing, not only the official, but all walks of life are also doing their best to collect the lost cultural relics, and the few scattered cultural relics in the tomb on the market in the past few years have also been speculated to sky-high prices, it can be said that this thing is really priceless!"
The voices of the people at the scene were even more vibrant, and the people present seemed to be shocked by such a rare and exotic treasure, and the most shocking of them was undoubtedly Ye Yu.
Ten years ago...... Ancient tombs of more than 1,700 years...... Grave robbers...... This information is completely consistent with the origin of the blood keystone that Lou Yue said in his mouth! Coupled with the style of the ruby on the bracelet, it is also said that the bracelet on the stage is likely to be one of the remaining three Blood Keystones that the Special Investigation Bureau is desperately looking for!
"Of course, this lot is not of the same grade as the remnants of the cultural relics auctioned on the market in previous years." The male host was obviously not satisfied with the current atmosphere at the scene, and began to add more and more fuel and vinegar. "Although it is a thousand years ago, it is still well preserved today, and its condition and workmanship are not the same as ordinary cultural relics, and it is definitely a treasure among the treasures!"
The host's incendiary words whetted everyone's appetite, and many people were already eager to try it, and at this moment, a loud question suddenly came out of the guest seat.
"Are you sure this thing is real?"
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of the surrounding people "swooped" to a box directly opposite the stage. I saw a tall man in a tuxedo slowly stand up, his face hidden behind a mask, just like the other guests at the scene.
"Hehe, you can rest assured, although according to the rules can not disclose the seller's information, our lot has been reviewed by experts, and with the credibility of our auction house, this thing is definitely not a fake." The male host looked at the man and said categorically.
The tuxedo man sat down thoughtfully and did not speak again.
"If you have no further questions, our auction is about to begin." The male host withdrew his gaze and smiled again. "Since this lot is priceless, we will not set a starting price, and you are free to start bidding......"
"Three hundred million!"
Before the host finished speaking, someone in the guest seat hurriedly shouted out an offer, which was 60 million higher than the transaction price of the last lot, and it was only the starting price, which made the scene suddenly burst into an exclamation again.
"Six hundred million!"
Without waiting for the exclamation to subside, another voice shouted a new offer, and the span was directly doubled, and even the host was a little overjoyed.
"The No. 5 guest quoted 600 million, is there anyone who offers a higher price......
"650 million!
"Seven Memories!"
……
The bidding sound came and went, and the guests at the scene bid frantically as if they were obsessed, and the bidding price rose accordingly.
"Holy, they're crazy, aren't they? This price has long gone beyond the scope of the auction of cultural relics! Xiaohua listened to these sky-high prices and opened her mouth.
"If this thing is from the tomb, as the man said, then what about the price." Ye Yu's face was solemn. "No matter how expensive this priceless treasure is, someone will buy it, and as long as it is in hand, the resale price will more than double, not to mention ...... I don't think anyone would be willing to resell it. ”
"Why?" Seeing that Ye Yu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Xiaohua asked anxiously.
"Well...... All I can say is that this thing is very special and must not go into the hands of people with bad intentions. Ye Yu said casually, he would never dare to say the secret of the Blood Key Stone, and Xiaohua saw that Ye Yu didn't look like he wanted to explain, so he didn't ask anymore, turned his head and continued to look at the excited crowd at the scene silently.
With the passage of time, the bidding price has reached the level of more than one billion, such a sky-high price has discouraged most people, and there are only two guests left in the scene who are fighting dragons and tigers, one of them is a delicate lady wearing a mask, and the other is the tuxedo man who previously questioned the bracelet.
"1.5 billion! Guest No. 1 bids 1.5 billion! Anyone else bidding higher? The host pointed at the tuxedo man and shouted excitedly.
"Two billion." The pretty lady unhurriedly quoted the new price, and at the same time looked up at the man who was competing not far away, and no one could see her expression under the mask.
"Two billion, guest No. 59 bid two billion! The price was increased by a full 500 million at once, and the No. 59 guest was really generous! ”
Ye Yu looked at the two people who kept bidding, and quickly thought about what he should do next. To be honest, no matter which side this bracelet is photographed, he can foresee the bloody storm that will follow. Besides, this bracelet is something that the Special Investigation Bureau is desperately looking for, and if it is taken away by an unknown guest here, it may be difficult to find it again.
After hearing the new offer, the tuxedo man was silent, he turned his head and looked at the delicate lady, and the other party also looked back unceremoniously, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
After a few moments, the tuxedo man finally withdrew his gaze, and then slowly held up the sign.
"Three billion."
Such a heavy bidding price couldn't help but silence the scene, and even the host was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
"Three billion!! The No. 1 guest actually reported three billion! The host finally reacted and yelled at the tuxedo man. This price is probably unparalleled in the history of today's auctions! Ms. 59, are you still planning to increase the price? ”
And this time, the delicate lady didn't immediately chase the price, she looked at the tuxedo man and smiled coldly, then decisively put down the offer card and made a gesture in the direction of the stage.
"Guest No. 59 has given up the bid!" The host keenly caught the lady's movements and began to look around at the other guests. "Is there anyone else on the scene who can offer a price of more than three billion!"
"I guess this No. 1 was pitted by No. 59." Xiaohua looked down at the tuxedo man sympathetically, not having to guess what kind of twitching expression was under the man's mask. "That woman was obviously raising the price before, although this thing is a thousand-year-old cultural relic, but it's too exaggerated to exchange three billion for a bracelet, right?"
Ye Yu had also noticed this question before, because he knew the hidden value of the bracelet, so he was not surprised by the offer of three billion, but if the two people in front of him still offered such a high price without knowing the secret of the blood keystone, it would be a bit unbelievable. However, Ye Yu didn't plan to speculate much in this regard now, what he was anxiously thinking about now was how to prevent the Blood Key Bracelet from being taken away.
"Three billion once!" The host on the stage started the countdown, and at this time, Ye Yu suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he immediately turned around and ran towards the utility room next door.
"Where are you going?" Before Xiaohua could catch up, Ye Yu rushed out of the utility room again, with a mask on his face and a sign in his hand.
"Three billion two!" There doesn't seem to be anyone chasing the price anymore.
"Hey, I said Reporter Ye, what do you want to do?" Xiaohua stared at Ye Yu's actions with wide eyes, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"You go out of the way and don't let anyone else see you." Saying that, Ye Yu drove Xiaohua into the shadows on the side, and kept calling up a number on the sign in his hand.
"It seems that the auction of this Loulan ancient bracelet is about to settle." The moderator smiled. "Last confirmation, three billion three ......"
"Five billion!"
The sudden shout echoed over the venue with an astonishing number, and not only the host, but the eyes of the audience suddenly focused on the young man dressed as a waiter on the top floor of the venue.
"I'll give five billion." Ye Yu held the sign and said calmly. "I'm going to make this bracelet!" ~Search the basket color * book bar, you can read the following chapters in full
