As the auction became increasingly chaotic, the riot was about to get out of control.
Lu Yuan casually raised his hand, gestured towards a distance, and softly called out, "Tang Qi."
Immediately afterwards.
The young man on the stage and Kong Luanshan only felt a blur before their eyes, and Tang Qi was standing in front of them, holding a man.
The young man felt a chill run down his spine after seeing the man's face clearly.
"What does Mr. Lu mean by this? Are you trying to threaten us now?"
"Why would I need to threaten someone like you?" Lu Yuan chuckled and gestured with his chin toward the man Tang Qi was holding. "You know this guy, right?"
Lu Yuanchao asked the young man a question, but his tone was very confident.
The young man panicked and quickly shook his head, "I don't know him!"
"Really? But he said he knows you, and he even admitted that you were instructed to ruin the reputation of the Divine Beast Auction House!" Tang Qi pressed the man closer and shouted angrily.
"Who told you to say that!"
The young man instinctively rebuked him, but then immediately realized what he had done and covered his mouth.
"You actually bombed me!" He glared at Tang Qi.
Tang Qi scoffed, too lazy to pay him any attention.
It's quite a coincidence.
Just after Lu Yuan instructed him to patrol the auction house and look for suspicious people, he discovered that the man in his hand had sneaked around to the back door and sneaked into the unattended server room.
He immediately reported the matter to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan instructed him to hold back for now, observe what the other side intended to do, and wait for Lu Yuan's instructions before taking action.
As a result, the young man jumped onto the stage and openly accused Lu Yuan of fabricating evidence.
Immediately afterwards, Kong Luanshan went on stage to help corroborate the testimony.
He then realized that the boss was planning to play the long game!
Tang Qi kicked the man who was pretending to be dead at her feet. "Speak! Who sent you to cause trouble?"
The man groaned, but refused to say anything.
See here.
Tang Qi threw him aside and kicked the young man next to her in the back of the knee.
"If he won't tell, you will!"
The young man lost his balance and fell to his knees on the stage with a thud. He grimaced in pain, but still clenched his teeth and refused to say a word.
"Alright."
Lu Yuan waved his hand at Tang Qi, "Take them away first! There's plenty of time, and one day you'll speak up."
As he spoke his last words, Lu Yuan stared at the two men with a half-smile.
The two men were immediately horrified, their skin crawling with goosebumps.
After Tang Qi dragged the two away, Lu Yuan stood up and walked to the front of the stage.
"Everyone!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan speak, the noisy auction hall immediately fell silent.
"The Divine Beast Auction House and Divine Beast Pavilion never engage in fraud. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can have it tested by a specialized agency. If any traces of forgery are found, they can come to me for a refund and compensation!"
Upon hearing this, the people present exchanged glances, still harboring doubts.
“I knew those two were deliberately causing trouble. The cubs that Brother Yuan sells have never had any problems. All the friends I recommended them to say they are good!” Zhao Qianqian was the first to stand up and express her opinion.
“That’s right! I also bought my tamed beast from Brother Lu, and it’s exactly the same as what he said!” Wang Chen followed closely behind.
"I guarantee, on behalf of the Luo family, that there is no problem with the beasts sold by Boss Lu!" After obtaining Luo Lei's consent, Lolis also stepped forward.
“Me too!” Li Lu shouted.
Seeing that the scions of various powerful families had all stood up to speak for Lu Yuan, and even the city lord's daughter had expressed her opinion, most of the doubts in everyone's hearts immediately dissipated.
Compared to strangers with ill intentions, they were more willing to believe the words of the powerful families.
Moreover, Lolis vouched for Lu Yuan on behalf of the Lo family.
That alone is enough to convince people.
"As expected! I knew Boss Lu wouldn't lie!"
"We all witnessed the effects of that drop of phoenix blood yesterday. Since you can even bring out such a rare item, why would Boss Lu bother to cheat you out of a pittance?"
"Come on, you guys! You were the noisiest ones just now!"
"Blame those two brats! They dared to frame us! We must find out who's behind them!"
The crowd was in high spirits, shouting for Lu Yuan to find out who was behind it all.
Lu Yuan raised his hand to quiet the room, and after it quieted down again, he said with a smile, "No need for you to worry, I will properly 'repay' this person behind the scenes. But for now, let the auction continue!"
As he spoke.
He turned to look at Kong Luanshan, who was still standing on the stage, with a half-smile.
"The auction is about to continue. How long does Patriarch Kong intend to stand here?"
Kong Luanshan then came to his senses and slunk off the stage.
Lu Yuan waved to the side, and the maid next to him immediately took tools and went up to the stage to start cleaning.
Security personnel below the stage began to maintain order, arranging for everyone to return to their seats and wait for the auction to continue.
Lu Yuan sat down again and chatted and laughed with the other family heads around him.
The audience.
Pei Yuan angrily slammed his fist on the chair.
"Two useless people! They can't even handle this simple task. What a waste of all the money I gave them!"
He was so angry that his face turned red and he gritted his teeth.
The original plan was to find two hackers to infiltrate the system terminal of the Divine Beast Auction House and replace the Sky Eye system with other fake detection systems.
The result was unexpected.
Not only did they fail to accomplish their goal and get caught red-handed for their misdeeds, they even ended up benefiting Lu Yuan instead!
Now everyone completely trusts Lu Yuan.
It will probably be even more difficult for him to find another opportunity to frame someone!
Damn it!
Pei Yuan grew angrier the more he thought about it.
He was especially pleased to hear the people around him praising Lu Yuan's meticulous and decisive actions.
My heart aches as if it's being gnawed at by ants!
...
The auction staff worked quickly and efficiently, and soon the venue was rearranged.
After quickly touching up her makeup, Mu Ying returned to the stage.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting, the auction will now continue!"
Upon hearing this, the audience fell silent instantly, looking at Mu Ying with expectant eyes.
Despite the minor hiccups, they hadn't forgotten that the highlight of the auction was about to be presented.
Based on what Lu Yuan said at the end of last week's auction, it is very likely the essence of a divine beast.
Enough to evolve a rare-level talent into a supreme-level one!
Mu Ying smiled gently on the stage, and her melodious voice slowly rang out.
"Please welcome the final item to this auction..."
A maid carefully carried a wooden box onto the stage.
See here.
Everyone instinctively slowed their breathing.
Even Luo Yueyi, who was participating for the first time, was caught up in the atmosphere and couldn't help but clench the sign in her hand.
"A drop of the essence blood of the divine beast Xuanwu!"
Mu Ying introduced herself loudly, her tone filled with undisguised excitement.
"Starting bid is 50 million, and each bid must be at least 5 million higher!"
