Chapter 500: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"This is the admission ticket. I got it with great difficulty." Director Wang said as he handed over an invitation letter.
Qi Chong frowned and asked, "You guys from the Ninth Bureau haven't been in there yet, right?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Director Wang's face.
Qi Chong seemed to have caught something and shouted, "You are so good, Old Wang! You didn't even go in to check, and then asked me to invite the boss over. You want the boss to play as a striker for you!"
Director Wang said awkwardly, "This treasure appraisal meeting only invites high-ranking dignitaries to attend. I can't get so many tickets at the moment. Besides, if they see someone from the Ninth Bureau appear, there will definitely be trouble. It would be a waste for the demon spirit to escape in the chaos!"
"But don't worry, Master Shen. Our Ninth Bureau's mages have already set up protective formations at all entrances and exits. That demon spirit won't be able to escape."
"We'll guard outside, and leave the inside to Master Shen."
"If you really need support, we can go in then."
Chen Wan sneered and said, “You nine innings caused this trouble, and now you want me to clean up your ass.”
“There is no such thing as a free lunch.”
Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "As long as Master Shen takes this demon soul, how about I give you one million?"
Qi Chong laughed angrily: "One million? Why don't you go out and ask around, how much my boss's appearance fee is."
"One million, to give to a beggar!"
Director Wang held up three fingers and said with a painful look on his face, "Three million should be fine, right?"
Shen Wan smiled but said nothing.
Qi Chong snorted coldly, "That's it?"
Yuan Yuze was not happy, "Three million is not enough? You are asking for too much!"
"Then you nine games can be solved by yourselves!" Qi Chong turned around and was about to leave.
Director Wang seemed to have Shen Wan in his grasp, and said with a confident smile: "Master Shen is a man of high moral character. He would not abandon his relatives and friends for a few material things."
There are many relatives and friends of Shen Wan on the list.
He just didn't believe that she could be so cruel as to not care about it.
"I won't abandon them, but I'm not as saintly as Director Wang says. I can just save the people I want to save. As for the other dignitaries, even if they are eaten by evil spirits, it has nothing to do with me. Their families will only trouble you, the Director of the Ninth Bureau, when the time comes."
Director Wang immediately retracted his big teeth that were just bared.
Looking at Shen Wan's arrogant look, there is no doubt that she is indeed bold in what she says and does.
"Five million, at most five million!" Director Wang said with a painful look on his face: "This is already several times higher than the market price!"
Chen Wan said coldly: "50 million, I won't care about other people's life or death if one cent is missing."
Director Wang was shocked: "What? Fifty million! Why don't you just go and rob it!"
"There are so many powerful people in the treasure appraisal meeting. Isn't their personal safety worth this price?" Chen Wan shrugged, "Forget it, I'll go save Grandpa Li and the others."
Seeing her about to go in, Director Wang hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Fifty million is fifty million!"
Qi Chong was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he took out his bank card and said, "Here's the account number, transfer it now!"
"You kid." Director Wang had no choice but to transfer him over on the spot.
"Boss, you go in first, I will join you later." Qi Chong said proudly.
Shen Wan nodded, walked to the door, verified the invitation letter, and entered the treasure appraisal venue.
Yuan Yuze was jealous, "Director, you just gave 50 million to Chen Wan like that? Aren't our Ninth Bureau's funds very tight? This money was taken from us!"
Director Wang said angrily, "Whoever dug your flesh and blood, I will definitely not let the Ninth Bureau pay for it. When the time comes, just go and ask those people inside for it."
Everyone knows that the wool comes from the sheep.
When Shen Wan stepped into the treasure appraisal venue, he saw that the entire venue was extremely luxurious. The golden carpet covered the entire space, and under the dazzling giant crystal chandelier was a treasure appraisal platform made of natural jade.
The venue was filled with rare treasures including calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, porcelain, jade and even bronze ware, and each collection was covered with bulletproof glass.
Mr. Li was talking happily with Mr. Ye, and as soon as he saw Shen Wan coming in, he immediately left his old friend behind and greeted him with a smile.
"Xiao Wan!"
Ye Lao ran forward happily, "Master Shen!"
Mr. Xiao also saw her and said with joy: "Xiao Wan!!"
Lu Beichen, who was standing by, heard the voice, turned around, and greeted him with surprise: "Master Shen, it's been a long time!"
The people of the Su family also noticed that Shen Wan had arrived, and they crowded around him, "Master Shen, you're here!"
"Hello, Master Shen!"
Some people who didn’t know the truth watched in confusion as these top dignitaries all tried to curry favor with Shen Wan.
Chen Wan originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to be noticed as soon as he entered. He could only greet everyone with a faint smile.
Su Xuan and Shen Qianxue in the corner also noticed that Shen Wan had arrived.
Su Xuan was immediately furious when he saw his grandfather running to Shen Wan, looking servile and fawning.
"My grandpa is such a fool. Why does he keep trying to please Chen Wan?"
Shen Qianxue looked at Shen Wan jealously, and pretended to be calm and indifferent and laughed, "Brother Su, Shen Wan is a master of metaphysics, who can bring the dead back to life. How many people want to curry favor with him!"
Su Xuan sneered, "I never thought of currying favor with her. Didn't she just use some evil magic? I heard that it's better not to touch such things, as they will damage your virtue and shorten your life!"
Shen Jiaojiao on the side was unhappy, "Brother Su Xuan, why do you say that about my sister? She did good things and saved many people, how come she became a crooked person?"
If sister Qianxue hadn't insisted on dragging her to the treasure appraisal meeting, she would not have come.
Su Xuan said with a smile: "Sister Jiaojiao, you are still young, you don't understand..."
"I don't understand, how can you, a layman, understand?" Shen Jiaojiao said to him with an unhappy look: "I think you are just jealous that Sister Wanwan is better than you."
She snorted coldly, turned around and went to find Shen Wan.
Su Xuan's face darkened.
Shen Qianxue said quickly: "Brother Su, my sister didn't mean to belittle you. She was just too deeply influenced by Shen Wan. Now she is like a crazy fan of Shen Wan. Don't bother with her."
Su Xuan smiled and said that he didn't mind, but in fact, the look he gave Shen Wan became sharper.
Ever since the auction, his grandfather had been nagging him every day, saying that he was blind and always comparing him, a top student who had returned from studying abroad, with Shen Wan.
He really couldn't accept it.
Chen Wan was lucky though, as he was able to learn these Taoist techniques from a master.
He is different from her!
Chen Wan doesn't know what he can do!
What qualifications do I have to compare with him?
What a joke.
"Xiao Wan, if I had known that you liked such occasions, grandpa would have asked you to come together." Old Man Xiao smiled amiably.
