The auction site was suspended because three of the four private rooms on the third floor were hung with white lanterns because they were waiting.

All kinds of eyes converged to look at me uncomfortable, and I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but I didn't.

Xiyang didn't have the heart to eat any more, looked downstairs with a worried expression, and then retracted back to the sofa and looked at me, "Otherwise, I'll give Bai Yun a call." ”

I nodded, "This can be there." ”

Xiyang slipped behind the screen in the private room, and after a few minutes, he walked out with a smile and said, "Baiyun doesn't answer the phone." ”

"Your uncle, you can still laugh when he doesn't answer the phone."

Xiyang took down the white lantern from the lampstand, glanced at the lantern himself, and then handed it to me with both hands, and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger, hang it up, it's not so easy to get out if you come in anyway." ”

I looked at my watch, it was 11:50, and it would be 12 in 10 minutes, and I was hesitating, when suddenly the phone rang, and the caller ID was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Pick it up?" I asked Xiyang.

Xiyang looked at me in confusion, "You ask me, this kind of thing is usually decided by yourself, you ask me now, Ah Guan, are you okay?" ”

I ignored him, walked to the sofa in the private room with the phone, and pressed the answer button to hear the first thing I heard was the familiar voice.

Zhang Xiyue's voice came from the phone, "Mr. Guan, our boss has something to tell you." ”

Before I could answer, Jiang Yuan's voice came from the other side, and his voice was a little immature.

"Mr. Guan?"

"Well, who are you?" I guess I asked knowingly.

The other party paused, "I'm Jiang Yuan of Hanhai Company." Dongyuan has never been involved in all business transactions at sea, and today Mr. Guan is here. Is it warning Hanhai that Dongyuan is going to meddle in the maritime industry? ”

I immediately explained, "No. I'm just curious about what happened at sea this time, and I don't plan to spend a penny, let alone bid with you. ”

"That's best, but since Mr. Guan has no intention of bidding, can you put down the white lantern in your hand?"

I already looked at the white lantern I was carrying in my hand, and said that this kid has been so good in his eyes since he was a child, and he can see it when he hides here.

"I'll put it down too, but you can see the situation on the scene. If I don't hang out, then where is my face in Dongyuan? ”

Jiang Yuan suddenly hung up the phone, and when I was wondering what was going on, the door opened, and Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xiyue suddenly appeared in front of me, but what made me gasp was that on the bidding table opposite the box, on the white leather sofa, Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xiyue were still there. Jiang Yuan on the sofa was still calmly looking at his phone.

I was shocked and didn't know what to say, my mind went blank, and Xiyang immediately rushed over to stand beside me, and he was obviously taken aback. In shock, I looked back at the private room opposite, and then looked at Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xiyue standing in front of us, blinking and looking at me. "Hallucinations?" he asked. ”

"How is that possible?" I stretched out my hand and politely wanted to shake Jiang Yuan's hand.

Jiang Yuan also reached over politely. I felt his hands were soft, as if they were boneless. And the hand temperature is very low, obviously just came in from outside, and has not yet warmed up.

"Don't stand at the door, come in and sit." I leaned sideways to let them in.

"No need." Jiang Yuan handed over a check and said, "In this field, as long as Dongyuan moves, there will be an uproar tomorrow, how many pairs of eyes are staring, Mr. Guan, you should know the consequences of hanging out this lamp." ”

I didn't take the check, I just glanced at the amount on the check, blank, which means that as long as I leave now, then the amount on this check is filled in casually.

But I can't go, I go, it's tantamount to losing, and it's not just my personal face that I'm losing, but the entire Dongyuan, although I don't know what kind of huge system Dongyuan is, but I understand a truth, the higher the status, the more hateful eyes around, the more careful we have to act, take a wrong step, it will cause an irreparable tragedy.

"Mr. Jiang is asking me to take the money and leave, but have you ever thought about what will happen to me after I leave now?"

Jiang Yuan obviously didn't expect this, "What do you mean?" ”

I took the white lantern and walked to the bidding table and said: "From the moment I came in, those forces behind me have been eyeing me, if I leave quietly like this, everyone will know tomorrow that the people of Dongyuan are as timid as rats, afraid of you Hanhai, this reputation Dongyuan can't afford it, so ah, I can only stand to the end today." ”

When I finished speaking, the lamp was hung up, and suddenly there was a burst of applause downstairs, and Madame Bai also cast an intriguing glance at me, and the corners of her mouth raised an arc like a smile.

At this time, the auction fell for the third time, because the four hanging lights, according to the rules here, this piece of Ming ware was temporarily sealed, and after all the items were auctioned, the second bid was only for the four of us.

Jiang Yuan saw that I had hung up the white light, and the expression on his face was still very calm, and he couldn't see what it meant.

After he left, I noticed that the bead curtain suddenly fell in the private room opposite, and it was reopened a few minutes later, this time it was really Jiang Yuan sitting on the sofa, and the imposter just now didn't know where to go.

Jiang Yuan had an extra stack of materials in his hand, and I saw that he turned a few pages and then his face was extremely heavy, frowning on one of the pieces of paper and not knowing what was written, and then handed the things to Liang Jun on the side.

After the intermission, there were only three auction items left, and I focused on the rightmost box, which was made of rosewood and covered with intricate patterns, but it was very shallow, and someone must have deliberately worn some of it off.

The three pieces in the collection are the Kowloon Imperial Cup, the Huaxia Shang Jade Vase and the White Shrimp.

The waiters began to hand out a roster of these three auction items to us, and I turned straight to the last page, white shrimp.

White shrimp, as its name suggests, is carved from the flawless snow jade of the white jade mountain, and the form is lifelike.

Xiyang looked at the roster in my hand, pointed to the picture of the white shrimp, and said, "White shrimp, is that legend true?" ”

I was a little curious and asked, "What legend?" ”

Xiyang looked at me, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Ah Guan, do you have amnesia, and that legend still tells me?" ”

I said in my heart, I didn't have amnesia, I inexplicably returned to six years ago, and I didn't know everything about Guan Yue.

Although I thought so in my heart, what I said was: "What did I tell you, now I want to hear you say, do you not know, or have you forgotten my words as wind in your ears." ”

I was even frightened and really frightened Xiyang, he blinked his eyes and said, "Who forgot, I am the one who listens and does not forget." ”

Then, he simply told me about the legend of white shrimp, although what he said was not logical, but I still understood, combined with what I had heard others say before, it can be regarded as being able to spell out the outline of the whole incident. (To be continued.) )
