Clever tactics and brute force were all in vain. Lin Han dodged one enemy after another and was always blocked.

It was eight o'clock! The treasure appraisal competition began, but Lin Han was still below the Qingshan Restaurant and could not enter.

Lin Han was breathing heavily and leaning against the pillar.

Even though he was well-versed in kung fu, these security guards did not bother with Lin Han for long. Their only purpose was to prevent Lin Han from entering.

Lin Han was unable to use all his skills and was trapped outside.

"What are you doing making such a fuss here?"

"Don't block my way! If you delay my work, you will suffer the consequences!"

A man dressed in a suit, with shiny hair and carrying a briefcase, dressed like a secretary, walked over.

Seeing his way blocked by these security guards, he, who was already full of rage, could no longer hold back and started shouting angrily.

"Who are you? We are chasing people away."

A security guard looked at the man in front of him and shouted.

"My Mr. Zhou's full-time secretary!"

"Who do you say I am?"

The man in front of me was originally a gentle, well-educated and scholar, but he was angered one after another today.

"Hello, Secretary Liu! Hello, Secretary Liu!"

"Just now, a beggar who didn't know his place and didn't have an invitation card tried to break into Qingshan Restaurant."

"We are just following orders."

Several security guards surrounded Lin Han, and the other security guards sat up straight and explained to the man in front of them.

"Yes, yes, Secretary Liu, just now, a stinky beggar tried to break into Qingshan Restaurant."

"In order to ensure that today's banquet is not affected, we have no choice but to kick him out."

"Please forgive me if I have delayed Secretary Liu. We will solve this matter right away."

"Secretary Liu, take care."

Brother Li smiled apologetically and said respectfully.

"Hurry up and solve it. Don't let it affect today's banquet!"

Secretary Liu said this and walked hurriedly towards Qingshan Restaurant without even glancing at the place.

"Drag him out and beat him up!"

"Don't disrupt the party! Otherwise, you will be the only ones to be held accountable!"

Brother Li said viciously.

He had to apologize to one person again and again. After all, he was a well-known person in the mountain city, so naturally he was a little angry.

"Secretary Liu!"

Just when the security guards were about to take action, Lin Han suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"Who's calling me?"

"Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

Secretary Liu touched his ears, looked around and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. There was no sound just now."

"Maybe you were too anxious and heard it wrong, didn't you?"

Brother Li said with a smile.

"Perhaps."

Secretary Liu looked around and saw no movement again.

"Secretary Liu, don't you remember me, Lin Han?"

Lin Han pushed the security guards away and walked behind Secretary Liu and asked.

"Master Lin, Master Lin, why are you here?"

"I have been looking for you for a long time! I thought something happened to you and that's why you couldn't come to the appointment."

Secretary Liu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and excitedly held Lin Han's hand and said.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go up first. The treasure appraisal competition has already begun."

Lin Han didn't explain the reason.

"well!"

"Mr. Zhou asked me to go to the hotel where you were staying to find you, but I didn't expect you to be waiting here."

"But why didn't you go in? Did they stop you?"

Secretary Liu nodded like a chick pecking at food and said.

"They were just following the rules."

Lin Han said calmly.

Hearing Lin Han's words, Secretary Liu turned around and glanced at Brother Li and the other security guards.

Even without Lin Han's explanation, he understood most of it. The implicit meaning of following the rules was that Lin Han did not have an invitation card.

As for why Lin Han didn't have an invitation card, there was no need to delve into the reason.

However, the most important thing now is not to find out why Lin Han did not receive the invitation card.

Instead, he wanted to take Lin Han to the sky garden of Qingshan Restaurant to help Master Zhou win the treasure appraisal competition.

With the appearance of Liu Mi, no one dared to stop Lin Han anymore.

There is a high-speed elevator in Qingshan Restaurant. In less than three minutes, Lin Han arrived at the sky garden floor where the treasure appraisal and auction was held.

By the time Lin Han arrived, the treasure appraisal competition had already begun for some time.

Of course, before Lin Han arrived, Master Zhou was not stupid. He hurriedly found another prestigious and capable treasure appraiser to take charge for him.

"What's going on?"

Lin Han came to Mr. Zhou’s private room and asked.

"Lin Han, you are finally here!"

"Did something happen to you on the way? Nothing dangerous happened, right?"

Master Zhou asked with concern and some urgency.

"It's okay, there was just a small incident. How far has the treasure appraisal competition progressed now?"

Lin Han asked.

"We have already gone through four-tenths of the process. We have auctioned off four treasures, and are now preparing for the fifth treasure."

"However, the fifth treasure is a heavy one. For safety reasons, we need to be careful. Now, the staff are moving the antique treasure."

When Master Zhou saw Lin Han coming, he was relieved and said.

"What about the four treasures that were auctioned? Who bought them?"

Lin Han asked.

Lin Han already understood the requirements and rules of today's treasure appraisal auction very clearly, which is a best-of-three format.

It is very important to obtain every treasure, and you may lose the normal game just because of the difference of one treasure.

Therefore, even if the four treasures have already been auctioned, Lin Han still needs to ask clearly in advance, otherwise, it is likely to affect the overall situation later.

"The first treasure is a lantern from the Qing Dynasty. It was acquired by Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai offered three million for it, but the floating value on the market is two million."

"According to the compromise calculation, the difference in price that Mr. Bai gets from auctioning this treasure is only 750,000."

"The second treasure is a painting from the Ming Dynasty. I got it and offered 7.5 million. The actual floating value on the market is 5 million to 5.75 million."

"According to the compromise calculation, the difference I got from auctioning this treasure is 2.5 million."

"The third treasure is also from the Ming Dynasty. It is just a small tripod. It was obtained by Mr. Bai and he offered 7 million for it. The floating value on the market is 6 million."

"If you calculate it this way, the value is only 750,000."

"The fourth treasure is a Tang Dynasty tri-colored glazed pottery. I originally thought it would be very valuable. After Master Ye's judgment, it was also proved that the treasure was worth a lot of money."

"I bought it for 10 million, but the actual price was only 5 million. I lost a total of 5 million."
