Shortly after, there was a knock on the door. The woman who had initially invited her upstairs placed the items on a tray. Su Ran handed her card to Su Qingjiu and asked her to pay.
The woman smiled, bowed, and stepped back. Su Ran looked at the items on the tray, which were placed together with the notebook she had initially bought from the vendor.
The thought of the other bidders fueled her growing desire.
Unwrapping the notebook, Su Ran was immediately struck by a series of colorful pictures. She froze, her heart pounding with shock, because these pictures were all—
Color photographs of the NJ massacre.
Su Ran continued reading page after page, her eyes falling upon page after page of their crimes. The man Su Ran was auctioning off was the same man who had been wearing a kimono at the beginning.
Su Ran initially didn't know why the other party was auctioning it off to her, since the notebook was considered useless by others. Now Su Ran knew.
It's highly likely that the Little Days Kingdom discovered that this auction was selling evidence of their crimes.
This group of people came to the auction in order to show their disgusting and friendly side on the international stage.
Su Ran didn't know why they stopped the auction; after all, the privilege of having a private room shouldn't have made them stop the auction.
Su Ran looked at the television and at the man in the kimono sitting there. He had probably received orders from their superior, but he wasn't one of them; he was a businessman.
Businessmen prioritize profit, especially in a small country like China, so there are bound to be instances of unpatriotic behavior.
After all, not everyone is like China, with its five thousand years of history, its people are magnanimous and kind, and it is a true great power!
Su Ran put down her notebook and sealed it away. After all, it was evidence of their crimes, and Su Ran would send them back to China unharmed.
Su Ran wanted to make Xiao Rizi unable to hold her head up in front of the entire world. Su Ran had heard her parents talk about this history when she was very young.
At that time, his parents had not yet died in the car accident, and the four of them were still living happily together. Regarding this period of history...
When her parents talked about this part of history, they would secretly wipe their eyes. Su Ran didn't know why, but she was always shocked and deeply moved every time she heard it.
After all, this was a force of over 300,000 people. Under their brutality, they almost wiped out a city, nearly wiping out all its inhabitants.
Su recalled watching videos before, where air raid sirens sounded in Nanjing, and a teacher asked the students, "Students, those who think they are locals of Nanjing, please stand up."
Almost everyone stood up. The teacher looked at the group of children and continued, "Those whose parents are also from Nanjing can continue standing."
At this point, at least half of the students sat down. The teacher looked at the students who had stood up and continued, "Grandpas and grandmas, or maternal grandparents who are also from Nanjing, please stand up."
This time, not a single student stood up, so the teacher asked, "Class, do you know why?"
The class fell into deep thought. This brief question was more memorable than any patriotic education session.
Su Ran's mind was in turmoil. The auction downstairs was still going on, but she had no time to think about it, as what she had just witnessed was truly unforgettable.
Regarding this period of history, the Chinese people have no right to forgive the crimes committed by their ancestors.
Su Qingjiu sat to one side. He didn't know what was written in the book, but from the young lady's somber expression, he knew that remaining silent was the best answer at this moment.
This was the first time Venus had ever felt such a strong emotional fluctuation in her master, so she didn't dare to make a sound or mention the auction.
Su Ran remained silent for a moment, then gently placed the notebook in her hand aside and looked at the tablet. At this moment, the fourth item was being auctioned.
This auction item is a glazed plate with a smooth, thin glaze and a bright, vivid sky blue color, like the sky after rain.
However, Su Ran was not interested in it, and the people in the hall also started bidding as the host encouraged them.
final.
With the auctioneer's gavel striking, the item was purchased by a middle-aged woman who appeared somewhat wealthy.
The fifth item was then auctioned.
It is a fist-sized piece of old, anti-icy imperial jadeite green.
It was a top-quality jadeite, and was eventually auctioned off to a blonde middle-aged woman.
Su Ran wasn't particularly interested in jade; if she wanted some, she could just buy it directly from northern Myanmar.
It's easier to examine stones using X-ray vision than to auction them at a trade fair.
After the sixth item was successfully auctioned, the tablet in my hand kept refreshing for the next auction item.
It is a sculpture that resembles Venus, but it has two arms and is not the Venus de Milo.
Su Ran pondered for a few seconds, carefully observing the sculpture.
This is Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology, as well as the goddess of sexual desire, and one of the twelve Olympian gods.
Because it originated from the ocean, it is sometimes revered as the patron saint of navigation.
Then the host's voice rang out, and a sculpture of Aphrodite appeared on the big screen.
Venus, who was standing nearby, also saw it, her gaze lingering for a few seconds, quite surprised. "Is that Aphrodite?"
His doubts were explained by the host: "This is the seventh item up for auction, and as you can see, it is a sculpture of Aphrodite."
"The statue has great collectible value. It was put up for auction by a reclusive tycoon. The starting price is US$1.5 million, and each bid must be at least US$500,000 higher."
As soon as the host finished speaking, people started bidding, but Su Ran wasn't interested in the item.
He just forced a smile and listened to others raise their prices.
at last.
The sculpture was sold to someone in the first row for $7.5 million, followed by the eighth item in the auction.
Su Ran looked at the introduction on the tablet with some surprise. Then the host's voice rang out, and the auction items came into view.
A huge painting came into view, and discussions arose in the hall. The host, smiling, began to speak.
"This is Vincent Finch's painting 'The Last Supper,' which was reproduced 1:1 by a mysterious painter. After expert appraisal, this painting is worth tens of millions of US dollars."
The host's voice echoed in the hall, sparking a heated discussion among the crowd.
After all, many people still collect the works of historical masters.
Genuine works are very difficult to preserve, or they are placed in museums. Genuine works are rare, but there are many imitations.
Counterfeit products also have different prices depending on the degree of imitation.
The starting bid for the oil painting is two million US dollars.
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone started bidding, each one higher than the last.
Su Ran watched the people bidding in the hall. If the painting was indeed as appraised, it would certainly be worth a lot of money.
After all, the original painting was "The Last Supper" painted in 1495 on the wall of the Santa Maria del Grazie monastery in Milan.
It belongs to the category of murals, so if someone were to perfectly replicate it 1:1, it would be quite a sensation in the art world.
