Chapter 93 Stealing the Millennium Gastrodia
"Sixty million." Xia Yue raised her paddle.
"Sixty-one million," Liu Meilan raised the price.
"Sixty-three million."
"Sixty-five million!"
"..."
Many people at the scene wanted to buy this thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata, but they couldn't raise the price as quickly as Liu Meilan and Xia Yue.
One of these two was determined to buy the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata.
Xia Yue, on the other hand, was taking her time, which seemed to be... a deliberate attempt to raise the price.
When the price was raised to 70 million, Liu Meilan's face turned as black as coal.
Xia Jingjing noticed that the person bidding against them was the same one who had just bought the pink diamond, and she felt a deep hatred for Xia Yue.
"Mom, I think this person is deliberately going against us."
"I know even if you don't tell me!" Liu Meilan replied irritably. "I don't think I've ever offended her, no matter who she is."
"So what do we do now? Should we still buy it? What if it exceeds our budget..."
"We have to buy it even if it's more than we should! We'll buy it even if we have to pay for it ourselves. If we don't complete the task assigned by that lord, we can forget about having a good life in the future."
Don't forget, your father's life is still in their hands. We have no choice but to obey.
Liu Meilan spoke with a frustrated expression.
In reality, she didn't care about her lover's life or death; she only cared about whether she could live a good life in the future.
Upon hearing this, Xia Jingjing could only grit her teeth and continue to raise the price.
The price was quickly driven up to 80 million.
This unusual bidding quickly reached Qin Yeting's ears.
The auction was held at the Qin family residence, and as the head of the Qin family, Qin Yeting naturally had to control any special circumstances that might occur during the auction.
"Boss, these two bidders are suspected of malicious bidding. Should we intervene?" Assistant Zhou cautiously probed, worried that something might go wrong at the auction.
Qin Yeting didn't take it seriously. "It's just a central item in the auction. The main item hasn't even been shown yet. Even if these people had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare cause trouble on Qin's territory."
As for those people outside the Qin family, their lives and deaths are no longer our concern.
"Yes," Assistant Zhou replied softly.
"By the way, how's the follow-up investigation going?" Qin Yeting continued to ask about Xia Yue's matter.
The video of that small mountain village has been investigated by Zhou's special assistant three times, but each time no clues have been found.
"There are too few surveillance cameras over there, and most of them are broken... There's been no progress yet," Assistant Zhou replied weakly.
Qin Yeting's face darkened instantly!
Although he believed Xia Yue was still alive, he couldn't let go of his worries since there had been no news of her.
"Never mind, you can continue sending people to investigate."
Qin Yeting knew that getting angry would be useless, so he could only wave his hand and tell Assistant Zhou to leave first.
He sat in VIP box number one, casually looking outside.
His attention was focused on Xia Yue, who was downstairs constantly bidding.
For some reason, he felt that the woman's figure looked familiar, and he couldn't help but think of Xiaoyue'er.
But that face bore no resemblance to Xiaoyue'er.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Yeting's lips.
He must be missing Xia Yue so much right now that he has this illusion.
When will his little Yue'er finally come back?
At this moment, the real Xiaoyue'er sat in the hall, raising her placard one after another, occasionally glancing at Liu Meilan's private room with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
She had no idea that Qin Yeting had noticed her.
After the price of the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata was increased to 90 million, Liu Meilan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Standing by the window, Liu Meilan yelled at Xia Yue on the first floor through the semi-transparent glass, "You brat! Which faction sent you to maliciously inflate prices? Is this how you do business?"
Xia Yue burst into laughter upon hearing Liu Meilan's words.
She used to be led by the nose by Liu Meilan's shamelessness, but she never expected that one day Liu Meilan would be provoked to the point of jumping up and down by her.
Xia Yue deliberately changed her voice and calmly said, "I'll buy mine, you buy yours. If you can't afford it, then don't buy it. What are you yelling about?"
"You—you're saying who can't afford it? One hundred million! I'll offer one hundred million! You're maliciously raising the price, aren't you? If you raise the price again, I won't raise it anymore. I'll give it to you and see if you have one hundred million!"
Liu Meilan made it clear that she felt Xia Yue wasn't genuinely interested in buying it and didn't have that much money.
However, Liu Meilan was wrong.
One hundred million is not a burden for Xia Yue.
Moreover, she does need this thousand-year-old gastrodia elata to make a fake death medicine.
Moreover, there was quite a large quantity of that thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata; she could use the excess to develop other medicines.
When the finished product is sold under the name of "Divine Doctor X", it will definitely make a fortune.
Xia Yue glanced around the room and saw that no one was raising the price anymore.
At that moment, the auctioneer on stage, timing it perfectly, began shouting, "One hundred million once! One hundred million twice!"
"One hundred million and one yuan," Xia Yue raised the price.
It only cost an extra dollar.
Upon hearing the price, Liu Meilan was so angry she nearly vomited blood!
She had just said that if Xia Yue raised the price, she wouldn't want the item.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yue added a dollar!
This is also a price increase!
If she buys this thousand-year-old gastrodia elata again, it will be a slap in the face.
"Mom, don't argue with her. We have a Plan B. We brought a lot of people with us today."
Let her buy it; we'll just snatch it away after she's done, saving us a hundred million!
Xia Jingjing pulled Liu Meilan aside and firmly persuaded her.
Liu Meilan gradually calmed down.
"Yes, let her buy it if she wants. We'll just rob her! We'll also snatch that pink diamond and give it to you. All those treasures are ours!" Liu Meilan's expression was crazed and ferocious.
