The auctioneer knew that Wu Shan could not immediately pay the 2 billion yuan auction fee for the Chicken Blood King, so he had no choice but to return to his stage.
"Next, here's the final item for auction at today's charity gala. It's a fragmentary book of ancient medical prescriptions, which contains some recipes for making Chinese herbal medicines. The starting price is 10 million, and each bid will increase by 1 million. Please place your bid."
Everyone knew that Huo Qiqi would definitely make a bid, because if she didn't make a move, she would be laughed at.
"10 million" Shen Lan made the bid at Huo Qiqi's instruction.
"20 million" Wu Shan was unwilling to accept it, he wanted Huo Qiqi to spend more money.
"50 million" Shen Lan bid again.
Wu Shan, who wanted to bid again to cause trouble, was stopped by Zhou Shanren. Wu Shan knew that Zhou Shanren was afraid that he would be cheated again and would not pay the auction company.
Naturally, no one else would offend Huo Qiqi, so Huo Qiqi successfully bought the last item, a torn book recording ancient medical prescriptions. She decided to take some time to show it to Old Huang and Yang Ning.
The auctioneer was very happy that the charity auction was finally over.
Next, they had to wait for Wu Shan to pay the fee for the Chicken Blood King. Wu Shan was also a man of courage. After Huo Qiqi paid 50 million to get the incomplete book, Wu Shan's assistant also arrived. He brought all the proof of Wu Shan's assets, which could be transferred at any time.
The auction company arranged for someone to assess Wu Shan’s assets, which were conservatively estimated to be at least 2 billion.
Wu Shan felt heartbroken as he saw that the property he had worked so hard for for many years was about to be transferred to others. He really didn't want to transfer it, but there was no way. Although the charity auction was organized by Zou Chuang, the auction company was very strong and had great influence worldwide. He really couldn't afford to offend them.
When Wu Shan reached out and touched the Chicken Blood King beside him, tears started to flow. He had bought it for 2 billion yuan, and within 5 minutes of getting it, he had to sell it to someone else at a bargain price of 800 million yuan. He lost 1.2 billion yuan in one night and was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Moreover, he felt that once he returned to his family, he would definitely be in trouble. He had a premonition that tomorrow all the newspapers in Hong Kong, big and small, would report about him. He was really unlucky today.
Suddenly, everyone in the venue saw darkness. The venue, which was originally brightly lit, fell into darkness. There was a power outage.
All of a sudden, the venue became chaotic. Most of the people attending the charity dinner were well-known figures, and many of them had experienced assassination and kidnapping. No one knew whether the power outage was intentional to harm them, so many people in the venue fell into panic and hysteria.
"Don't panic, just stand where you are and don't move. Someone has already started the backup power supply," Zou Chuang said. Before he could finish his words, the lights in the venue came on again. The two minutes of darkness made many people in the venue feel as if they were in darkness. It was terrifying.
"Ah, damn little thief, who is it, who is it? Security, security, lock the door, don't let anyone escape." Wu Shan's roar attracted everyone's attention. The Chicken Blood King, who was beside Wu Shan before the power outage, disappeared.
2 minutes, who has the ability to take away such a big chicken blood king?
"Master Zou, as the organizer of the charity gala, you are responsible for the disappearance of my Chicken Blood King." Wu Shan grabbed Zou Chuang's sleeve like a madman.
With a snap, Wu Shan stood there in a daze.
Zou Chuang's slap woke Wu Shan up completely.
Wu Shan actually went so far as to question the head of Hong Kong's No. 1 family. Was he truly mad? But was his two billion completely wasted?
He suspected Huo Qiqi, but the Chicken Blood King was so big that Huo Qiqi and the others couldn't hide that thing.
Before the power outage, I was about to hand over the Chicken Blood King to Zhou Shanren, but unexpectedly the power outage occurred. In just 2 minutes, such a big Chicken Blood King disappeared.
Although Zou Chuang was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to be wrongly accused for no reason, so he arranged for someone to call the police. When the police arrived at the scene, they were shocked.
They knew about the charity dinner held by Zou Chuang, so when Zou Chuang called the police, they immediately went out.
Looking at the mess in the venue and the expressions of the people, I knew that it must be a serious matter.
After questioning everyone at the scene, the police sent more people to search the hotel inside and out, but they still couldn't find the Chicken Blood King.
The police had no choice but to let everyone disperse. Huo Qiqi was very happy when she walked out of the hotel, because she had stored the Top Grade Chicken Blood King into the system space. Now Wu Shan and Zhou Shanren had completely miscalculated.
After everyone left, Wu Shan grabbed Zhou Shanren and asked him why he wanted to bid for the Chicken Blood King. How could Zhou Shanren tell Wu Shan that he was threatened by Zou Chuang? He had to make a phone call and send more people to transfer the goods from Shuiwan Pier 18, and he had to do it before Zou Chuang took action.
The empty hall was filled with only a dejected Wu Shan. He was completely finished. What chance of recovery was there? He didn't dare go home. He would undoubtedly be investigated and taken away by the police. He didn't want to ask his eldest brother for help, as it would be useless.
By the way, that person said that if I get rid of Huo Qiqi, he would give me 1 billion. This is my last chance. With these 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, I can go abroad and live a carefree life, and never come back to Hong Kong.
After Wu Shan whispered a few words to a bodyguard outside the door, more than 10 cars without license plates chased in the direction Huo Qiqi left.
Wei Hong checked the content of her cell phone pager and said to Huo Qiqi, "Boss, there are more than 10 cars without license plates following us."
Huo Qiqi nodded and asked nonchalantly, "Wei Hong, have the people we've arranged enter the agreed-upon location and set up an ambush. This time, we need to capture all of these people."
"Chen Lan, let's act as bait. Keep the speed up. Don't get away from them, but don't let them catch up with you either."
"Okay, boss."
"Brother Xiao, Wu Shan spent so much money this time to get rid of a woman, but I don't know who she is. Is it worth spending so much money?" Xiao Liu, who was driving, asked puzzledly.
"Xiao Liu, you have just joined our gang and there are many things you don't understand. You call me brother, but I will tell you today that you must remember this kind of business we do. The less you know, the longer you live." As the person in charge of this operation, Lao Xiao naturally knew who the target person was. He also didn't want Xiao Liu, a kid, to say something he shouldn't say and get into big trouble.
Huo Qiqi's car finally stopped in an open space, and everyone saw Huo Qiqi and others running towards the path from afar.
The road ahead was very narrow and the car couldn't pass through, so everyone got out of the car and went to look for Huo Qiqi.
After 5 minutes, a dense forest appeared in front of them and everyone entered the forest one after another.
"Brother Xiao, it's bad, we are surrounded." A younger brother ran to Lao Xiao in a panic.
Lao Xiao, before you even realize what's going on?
I found that all of the 40 or so people on my side were surrounded.
"Old Xiao, long time no see, you are still so rude"
