As soon as Lao Qin finished speaking, gasps of surprise erupted in the auction hall.
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, discussing the matter incessantly.
"Wow, it's almost $100,000!"
Is it worth it?
"Just for this broken rock?"
"A chaotic three-way war!"
"Damn, the price has increased dozens of times... If we don't get anything good from this, we'll lose everything!"
Actually, when Shang Yanfei saw the price reach over $90,000, she felt a little hesitant. The most crucial point was that this broken rock wasn't worth that much money at all.
In other words, once you're stuck with a bad investment, whatever you've invested now is the amount you're destined to lose.
But he persisted and asked for another raise. If the other party raised the price again, he would stop.
Let them succeed this once. Let them buy it. Anyway, it's already way over the bottom price. Even if they get the stone cut open, they're destined to lose a fortune.
So, Shang Yanfei gritted her teeth and bid again: "100,000 US dollars."
Then, he wore a mocking expression and waited for Lao Qin to make an offer.
What he saw, however, was Old Qin looking at the rough stone with a pained expression, then turning to him and saying in a feigned calm tone, "Young man, you win..."
After saying that, he shook his head and let out a long sigh: "The younger generation surpasses the older! I admire you, I truly admire you—"
Chen Dong also smiled and gave Shang Yanfei a thumbs-up.
Then, he spread his hands and gestured towards the auction stage, meaning: Okay, we can't beat you. We concede, this stone is yours!!!
Shang Yanfei's smile froze instantly.
His complexion gradually changed from red to black, turning into a liver color.
He stood there frozen for a long time, feeling an urge to vomit blood.
Why?
The other party isn't bidding anymore?
He had heard Ouyang Ming say that this guy named Chen Dong was rich; a mere $100,000 was nothing to him.
Damn it, he got played?
But I don't want this stone...
The auctioneer on stage was still calling out, "100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, any more bids?"
Supervisor Li Rongfa, who had been sitting to the side drinking tea, glanced meaningfully at Lao Qin and Chen Dong, then at Shang Yanfei, and shook his head inwardly.
Shang Yanfei turned around to look behind her.
He wanted to find the person who had raised the price midway through the bidding process, to see if they would make another offer.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
No one answered.
"Alright, congratulations to Mr. No. 588, you have won this item!"
Bang!
For some reason, Shang Yanfei suddenly fell to the ground.
During the process, he also knocked over Ouyang Ming's chair.
The two rolled around in a disheveled mess.
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
By this time, some clever people had already figured out what was going on.
Those who were a little slower to react also understood amidst the laughter.
Shang Yanfei was helped up by a quick-thinking bodyguard.
Even so, his face was full of embarrassment.
The bursts of laughter made him realize that he had been tricked by Lao Qin.
The poor guy thought he was so great, putting his opponent in a very difficult position.
Instead, they fell into the other party's trap.
This is truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
No, being too clever for one's own good can backfire.
Completely unaware of the situation, they repeatedly engaged in price wars with the other party.
Whenever I want to give up, the other party will definitely do something to tempt me to keep arguing with them.
"What are you laughing at? Shut up and don't laugh!" Shang Yanfei turned around abruptly and shouted at the crowd, her expression agitated.
The laughter from the crowd only grew louder.
"Hmph!" Shang Yanfei's face showed no joy, only extreme helplessness and indignation.
He glared fiercely at Lao Qin and Chen Dong.
Suddenly, he turned his head towards Lao Qin.
"You old fool, it's all your fault! You're the one who's causing all this trouble!"
As he spoke, he strode forward and rushed towards Chen Dong and the others.
His face was contorted in a ferocious expression.
"Young Master, no!" Ouyang Ming followed behind him, trying to grab him.
This is not a place to cause trouble!
Those soldiers all had real guns, and the guns were loaded with bullets.
If I get shot dead here, who can I complain to?
So he shouted anxiously, trying to stop him.
However, as a middle-aged man, I am not as physically strong as him and cannot keep up with him.
Of course, even if you catch up, you can't hold onto it.
At this point, all they could do was follow behind and call out.
The bodyguards were also terrified, shouting and running over in a chaotic frenzy.
However, there were too many people here, and Ouyang Ming blocked them all behind him, so he couldn't go around them.
They were frantic, but there was nothing they could do to stop Shang Yanfei.
Other participants in the auction, seeing this, quickly got up and moved aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
The scene descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, on Chen Dong's side, Wolong, Tiger, and Fox immediately stood up and stood in front of him and Lao Qin to protect them.
As soon as they stood up, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
A magnificent figure!
Imposing presence!
Master!
In the blink of an eye, Shang Yanfei had arrived at Chen Dong's side.
But before he could do anything, Wolong, who was closest to him, reached out, grabbed his arm, squeezed it gently, and then casually punched him in the stomach.
Shang Yanfei was forced to retreat repeatedly, falling to the ground and crashing into the raw fabric lying there, the pain making his eyes roll back.
