Chapter 6
Lin Lang didn't want to treat himself to a midnight snack, and he suspected that he had come to a shady place. In just ten hours, this funeral home had refreshed his perception several times.
Su Yun was already walking forward, waving his folding fan. For the sake of a few pieces of silver, Lin Lang decided to bend over backwards and followed him.
The auction at Qingyun Villa was kept very secret and was membership-based. This was understandable, after all, if some of the stuff was taken out, there would be a lot of criticism, so confidentiality had to be maintained.
On the way to the auction, Su Yun asked Yan Gui and the others to wait a moment in advance to reserve a seat, as she wanted to bid for something tonight.
Yan Gui called directly and said, "Director, you want that Ding Lan ruler, right?"
"Yes, why didn't you just tell me when you saw it? I would have missed it if I hadn't flipped through it." Su Yun flicked the jade pendant on the folding fan intermittently.
"I'm just afraid that you, the curator, will spend a lot of money. I heard that many people are determined to get the Ding Lan ruler tonight. Those who can enter the villa are destined to be rich and powerful. Even if they can't control themselves, they can put it in the ancestral tomb to guard it. If the Ding Lan ruler is bought at the right time, it will bring prosperity to at least three generations." The ghost muttered in a low voice.
Su Yun blinked her eyes, unable to move, and called for the mobility scooter in the villa to take her and Linlang directly to the auction: "It doesn't matter, let's give it a try. If someone grabs it, then we probably will have business."
It's certainly okay to put ordinary things in the ancestral tomb, but this Ding Lan ruler made of dark wood must be a Feng Shui burial item for royal burials. If you are not destined to be royal, you will be playing with your life if you take it.
Since Su Yun knew what was going on, the sexy ghost didn't say anything. She reported the current location of each ghost. She and the ghost bride had already arrived at the banquet hall outside the auction. Because they had the presidential suite card, they could go in and participate. However, no one could enter the auction without an invitation or membership, unless someone brought them.
As for the two masters and the ghost catcher Ah Xiu, they were not interested in the auction. They went to the antique and gambling stone markets, but did not make any moves. According to their abilities and industry rules, they would not break the rules unless necessary, unless they saw someone cheating.
Su Yun responded and said that it was all over. She still wanted Ding Lanchi tonight. Only if all the ghosts were there could she set up the Five Ghosts Wealth Gathering Formation. This was just in case someone came to snatch it from her. Setting up a wealth-gathering formation could save her money.
Su Yun arrived at the auction before it started. Five ghosts were already waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall. Wherever they stood, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
After getting off the scooter, Su Yun was very satisfied with their situation: "I like that you understand me. Let's go in."
There were six tall men following him, and Su Yun looked very imposing. When he arrived at the entrance of the auction, the manager stopped him slightly and said politely, "Hello, please show me your membership card and invitation letter."
Usually, people who come here will have their secretaries or assistants handing over their cards. The manager could see that the folding fan in Su Yun's hand was a real one, so he spoke to the sexy ghost behind her, who looked like a capable and competent secretary.
People who work at auctions have sharp eyes because they have seen too many genuine items. Even if some items are not good-looking and they themselves don’t know how much they are worth, they definitely know whether they are worth money.
Su Yun seemed to be wearing a Chinese traditional costume with a black background and a gold-thread pattern, and he held a solitary folding fan in his hand. However, based on the manager's many years of experience, this outfit was at least worth a large flat in the city center, and he couldn't afford to offend someone with this wealth.
However, the ghost didn't move at all. Su Yun pulled out the Qiankun bag he was carrying from his belt and looked through several other cards in it.
Just at this time, Su Lin came over with his men. Seeing Su Yun looking for something in a small cloth bag in a shabby manner, he immediately frowned.
Su Yun understood what Su Lin meant at a glance. She thought of the video that was transferred to her in the afternoon. Even though she was so angry that she dug her beautifully trimmed nails into her palms, her face was still gentle. She walked to Su Yun with a smile on her face.
"Su Yun, what a coincidence, you are here to see the auction too? I remember you don't have a membership card, but my brother is here, let me take you in?" Su Yun's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone around to hear.
The two groups of people blocked each other, causing other guests who were about to attend to stop out of curiosity. Gossip is human instinct, and who doesn't like to gossip?
Su Yun glanced at her speechlessly: "Is this your first time here?"
After hearing this, Su Yun was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt sour and angry. She was obviously the real eldest daughter of the Su family, but because a crappy Taoist priest said that she was destined to be calamity, she had to be raised by an ordinary family. It would be best if she had a substitute to deceive God in order to break the calamity.
This resulted in her growing up in a poor family, where her real parents could not even visit her or give her money.
And now, Su Yun, the fake one, dared to show off to her in this tone. Even if it was her first time, so what? She was the youngest daughter of the Su family, and she could come whenever she wanted. She was not like Su Yun, who was shameless and even took advantage of her brother!
Su Yun's eyes were about to bleed. She lifted her hair and said, "Yes, after all, I just came home not long ago. My brother brought me here in person this time and bought me some things to keep me safe."
"Then didn't your dear brother tell you that there are temporary entry rules for the Qingyun Villa auction?" Su Yun asked with a smile.
It was not appropriate for Su Lin to explain this matter personally, so the manager quickly said, "It is like this, Miss Su. Qingyun Villa Auction has a temporary entry rule. As long as the estimated total value of the property exceeds the membership qualification by five times, you can enter temporarily without an invitation and apply for membership."
Hearing this, Su Yun's face turned pale. She looked at Su Yun in shock, then turned back to look at Su Lin, her mouth opening and closing. She suspected that it was Su Lin who gave the money. After all, Su Lin had just asked Su Yun to go back to the Su family in the afternoon. But she didn't dare to question it. After all, she had been away for more than ten years and didn't have much feelings for the Su family, so she didn't dare to make a fuss.
Su Yun naturally knew what she was thinking. He smiled silently, took out a black card from his Qiankun bag and handed it to the manager, asking him to make an estimate.
At this time, Su Lin glanced at the manager who was leaving, and followed him and said, "No wonder you don't want to go back to the Su family... But where did you get so much money?"
"These are the paper money my parents burned for me. After all, I've been dead for so long, right?" Su Yun looked at him with a smile, his eyes dark.
"Su Yun--" Su Lin was really angry this time. He had already said that he would compensate Su Yun, and it was she who did not ask for it. But she was blaming them with such words!
At this time, the manager came back with Su Yun's black card and membership card in his hand, and said to Su Yun respectfully: "Hello, Miss Su, this is your card and membership card. Next, a professional will analyze the items for you. I hope you can buy the items you like."
Su Yun took the two and said directly, "No need."
After saying that, Su Yun didn't go to look at Su Lin and the others, but directly took his ghost employees into the inner box of the auction.
Qingyun Villa is very good at doing business, and the membership system has different levels. Those who have a little money can sit outside the auction venue, and the wealthy and powerful families with high-level membership cards will have private rooms.
After entering the box, the ghosts finally stopped acting so serious and just found a place to sit.
Su Yun sat down in the main seat and inserted her membership card into the card slot next to her hand. After successful recognition, she just had to raise the card to take a picture of anything she wanted.
The ghost sat next to Su Yun. She asked curiously, "Director, don't you always cry about having no money? How come you suddenly have so much money just now?"
Hearing this, Su Yun showed her the membership card: "Look whose name is on it."
"Su Yiling - the old curator?" The sexy ghost was really shocked this time. As soon as she screamed, other ghosts also gathered around.
"What what what? Is it the old curator's card?" The ghost bride squeezed next to the sexy ghost to take a look, and found that it was indeed it.
The two chefs sat back down when they saw the name. The chef said angrily, "We knew that old man was a bad guy. He has been hiding for so many years."
The fire-making master nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the curator is really kind, bringing us in to broaden our horizons."
The ghost Ah Xiu also sat back down and continued to eat his fruit: "Indeed."
Su Yun looked at them strangely: "This card is just an ID card, there is no money in it. But, did my father really never auction anything? When he gave me the family property, he said that he and my mother didn't touch the big money, just to leave it to me."
The cook who has worked the longest in the funeral home said, "I have never seen the old director buy anything."
"That's strange, where did those treasures in the curator's room come from?" The ghost bride arrived last and knew the least about Su Yiling.
“Oh, the old curator usually tries to rob, and if he fails to rob, he tries to cheat, and if he fails to cheat, he tries to dig graves.” The cook said shockingly.
After hearing this, the ghosts inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu, and immediately looked at Su Yun slowly. She looked relieved: "As expected of my father, he is as shameless as me."
