Chapter 267 God Bless You
Hearing Lu Qian's question, Cheng Yi was slightly stunned.
He raised his head and looked intently at the treasure bag in the auctioneer's hand.
It was a very simple brocade bag, made of vermilion satin with patterns embroidered with silver thread, and the drawstring was also made of simple red satin. Apart from the color, there was nothing eye-catching about the whole brocade bag.
Cheng Yi's gaze lingered on the pattern for a moment, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The two looked at each other and at the same time looked at the jewelry box on the coffee table.
Lu Qian quickly took the jewelry box, opened it, picked up the dragon pendant, and compared it carefully with the brocade bag on the ground.
I found that the pattern on the brocade bag was exactly the same as that on this dragon pendant!
Lu Qian opened his eyes wide and turned to ask Cheng Yi, "Could that anonymous philanthropist be Mr. Luo?!"
Cheng Yi sat up straight for a moment, his eyes moving between the jade pendant and the brocade bag.
"We must take this brocade bag." Cheng Yi said firmly.
Although he was not sure what was in the brocade bag, since Luo had sent it for auction, they had to buy it even if it was empty.
After saying that, he raised his hand to press the bidding bell.
"Hey! Don't press it!"
Lu Qian shouted and stopped Cheng Yi's hand from pressing down.
She twisted Cheng Yi's arm, frowned, and shook her head at him, "You can't bid at this price."
"Isn't Qi Huang leaving the stage? Tell him to go and bid," Lu Qian pondered, waving a finger in front of Cheng Yi, "Tell him to bid no more than 10,000 each time."
Cheng Yi suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. He was a little impatient just now.
The starting price for the Jade Seat is 10 million. If a big fight is made just for such a lucky bag, other forces in the Jade Seat will definitely find out. Once the bidding starts, it will be difficult to predict how the situation will develop.
Moreover, if the situation develops seriously, the auction house has the right to take back the items at any time, and it will be difficult for them to know what is in the treasure bag.
Cheng Yi raised his hand and brushed the dial of his watch, then immediately called Qi Huang, "Take a bid for this brocade bag, and don't bid more than 10,000 each time."
"yes."
Although Qi Huang didn't know what Cheng Yi was planning, he never questioned the boss's words.
"One hundred and one hundred thousand."
Finally, when the auctioneer didn't know what to say to ease the awkward situation, he finally heard a bid.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up. No matter how much it cost, the top priority was to sell the item quickly.
"Are there any other VIPs who would like to bid?"
The auctioneer couldn't wait any longer and had already raised the hammer with his right hand.
"One hundred and one hundred thousand per time."
"One hundred and twenty thousand twice."
"One hundred and ten thousand..."
Just as the deal was about to be finalized, a sharp bid came from the crowd.
"—One hundred and fifty thousand."
The guests were searching for the generous figure in the dim room, and saw a man in a black robe in the corner, his features completely covered by a huge hood, holding up a bidding sign.
Hearing this voice, Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that someone else has also discovered the secret of this treasure bag? This is not good news.
Everyone at the auction venue was shocked when they heard this. How could someone spend 150,000 yuan to buy such a piece of junk?
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
Suddenly, there was another bid.
Lu Qian frowned. This was not Qi Huang's voice, which meant that there were at least three people in the VIP seats fighting for the treasure bag. Why were so many people fighting for this thing?
The auctioneer was a little surprised by the sudden surge of bids. He had thought it was already a good thing that the item was sold at all.
"Seven hundred thousand." After hearing what Cheng Yi said, Qi Huang added ten thousand at a time.
"——Two hundred thousand." It was the voice of the man in black robe again.
When Lu Qian heard this, he felt something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
The bidding off the court continues.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand."
"Two hundred and forty thousand."
…
"Three hundred and ten thousand."
More and more people were bidding, and it seemed as if they were treating the bidding as a game.
Lu Qian heard Qi Huang's bid again and quickly said to Cheng Yi, "Tell Qi Huang not to increase the price anymore."
"Um?"
Cheng Yi asked in surprise.
This inexplicable bidding was definitely not just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Lu Qian was still not sure whether the man in black robe was determined to get this thing or was just acting on impulse.
But if things continue like this, other forces will definitely discover something serious.
Lu Qian frowned and shook his head, "I can't raise the price any further."
"What should we do then?" Cheng Yi's brows drooped. "Should we just give up this brocade bag?"
"Yes."
Lu Qian's voice was filled with deep thought. They absolutely had to have this thing, but she hadn't figured out how to get it yet.
When Cheng Yi heard Lu Qian's affirmative answer, a cold light flashed across his golden-brown eyes.
He immediately informed Qi Huang: "No need to bid any further."
Qi Huang was just about to ask back, don’t you want this thing anymore?
Cheng Yi whispered the rest of the sentence: "Whoever took the brocade bag away must bring it back to me."
The tone was cold and bloodthirsty, clearly expressing murderous intent.
"yes."
When Lu Qian heard the second half of Cheng Yi's words, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
She exhaled slowly and looked at Cheng Yi with an ambiguous expression.
Cheng Yi chuckled, put the watch back into his sleeve, lowered his eyes to look at Lu Qian, and said in a defiant tone: "Have you forgotten what your man does?"
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi, who looked like a smug villain, and burst out laughing.
She really forgot that Cheng Yi was a gang boss, and burning, killing, looting and other things were commonplace for him.
Since there is no way to get what you want directly, you have no choice but to resort to non-violent non-cooperation.
Lu Qian retracted his smile and smacked his lips, "Tsk, I really forgot."
"when!"
Another final decision.
The auctioneer's voice revealed indescribable excitement: "Three hundred and sixty thousand, sold. Congratulations to VIP No. 64."
However, what Lu Qian did not expect was that the person who finally won the brocade bag was not the man in black robe who made the first bid, but the boss of a small gang.
Judging from his expression after receiving the auction item, he didn't seem very happy. He probably just wanted to get involved and bid randomly, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to be taken advantage of.
Lu Qian looked at the gang leader's expression under the spotlight, chuckled and shook his head, "I think it won't be that difficult for us to get this treasure bag back."
Immediately afterwards, the lights in the auction venue suddenly lit up one by one, illuminating the dim venue.
"Dear guests, all three auctions of this year's Hermes Auction have concluded. The items will be delivered to you after payment is received."
"Thank you all for participating and bidding. May God—"
The auctioneer on the stage slowly walked out from behind the crystal auction table, took off his silk gloves, put one hand on his chest, and bowed deeply towards the huge venue.
"Bless you."
