"Five billion for the third time!"
When the auctioneer called out the highest price, he confirmed that no one else was bidding, but he did not bring the hammer down. Instead, he said, "Well, according to the bidding process, the buyer with the priority bidding right will decide whether to follow up with this price."
As soon as the words fell, the scene that had been bustling with excitement suddenly became quiet, almost silent.
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to know who this round of VIP buyers was.
Young Master Shen accepted a total of five pieces of top-quality jade, which was equivalent to giving five buyers priority bidding rights.
The five VIP buyers were then arranged in order based on the appraisal experts' assessment of the jade's value.
The buyer with priority bidding rights in this round is Huo Mingyu!
After all, the thousand-year-old blood jade pendant he gave was indeed priceless.
"Okay, please ask Mr. Huo Mingyu, the buyer who has the priority bidding right in this round, to decide whether to bid!" the auctioneer reminded.
Huo Mingyu raised his hand without even thinking, indicating that he wanted to bid!
The whole audience was in an uproar!
But this is understandable.
After all, Huo Mingyu had been a sucker once before, so it was normal for him to be one again this time.
Although Huo Mingyu felt that the price he paid was indeed very high, he thought that if he operated the business well, there would always be a chance to make back the money.
But the prerequisite is that the magic water supplied by Shen Yingnian must be genuine!
In fact, many buyers, including him, have doubted whether every bottle of Shen Yingnian’s magic water has such miraculous effects, and whether there is any suspicion of selling inferior products as good ones or even fraud.
But this possibility is not very high.
Because if Shen Yingnian really did such a cruel and stupid thing, not only would the Shen family's reputation be ruined, but Shen Yingnian would also be sent to prison!
At this time, Nie Ruoyun walked onto the stage again to present the certificate to Huo Mingyu.
At this time in the box, Shen Yingnian and Lin Chuyin were also observing the scene attentively.
"When do you think the kidnappers will choose to strike?" Lin Chuyin asked casually.
Shen Yingnian pondered for a moment and said, "There are only two opportunities. The first opportunity is to wait until the auction of the five agency rights is completed. The kidnappers will target these five buyers and kill them all at once. The second opportunity... may be now!"
"Now? Isn't it too early?" Lin Chuyin asked in surprise.
"Our first reaction was that the kidnappers would most likely choose to strike at the end of the auction, but that doesn't mean they won't guess our thoughts." Shen Yingnian sneered, "If I were the kidnapper, I would definitely not follow the routine. I would take advantage of your least preparedness to catch you off guard. Anyway, this bait is fat and tender enough to fill our stomachs."
Lin Chuyin was puzzled, but this possibility was not impossible.
And the reason why she asked for Mr. Shen's opinion was not because she thought Mr. Shen was smart, but because she thought Mr. Shen was despicable enough.
In criminal psychology, investigators need to try to analyze the problem from the perspective of the criminal.
And a despicable and shameless person like Young Master Shen might think the same as the kidnappers!
"Of course, the above are just what I said casually. Any similarities are purely coincidental." Young Master Shen did not forget to clarify.
As soon as I finished speaking, it suddenly became pitch black in front of me!!
All the lights went out in an instant!
"Fuck!"
Seeing this sudden change, Shen Yingnian burst into swearing and wished he could slap himself for his bad mouth.
What this situation means is very clear!
"ah!!!"
"what happened?"
"Such a big hotel has a power outage!"
"Where's my husband? Where are you, husband?"
"What a pervert! Someone is touching my bear!"
A barrage of insults and screams broke out in the banquet hall.
Even Huo Mingyu, who had just stepped onto the stage, was startled.
In an instant, he suddenly suspected that this was done by Bai Xuanxiao!
But it’s different from the plan we had arranged!
Before he could think more, lights began to light up in the banquet hall and everyone took out their cell phones and turned on the lights.
Several beams of light shone onto the stage. Huo Mingyu's vision had just returned when he suddenly saw an evil ghost. He was so scared that he collapsed to the ground!
“There’s a ghost!”
Seeing this evil ghost with a green face and fangs in the darkness, Huo Mingyu was scared to death!
But in fact, this is a mask of an evil ghost!
The man wearing the devil mask didn't even hesitate. He grabbed Huo Mingyu from the ground and rushed towards the hotel window as if he was picking up a chicken!
But before he could get there, a tall and strong male waiter stood in front of the evil ghost!
"I've been waiting for you for so long! Go to hell!"
Tie Niu roared angrily and swung his huge fist to hit the evil ghost in the face!
However, the evil ghost was too agile. It stopped suddenly and turned around to dodge, dragging Huo Mingyu behind a stone pillar and said sinisterly, "It's you flies again. I swatted a few of them last time, but you still haven't learned your lesson."
"You bastards, I'm going to avenge them!" Tie Niu rushed towards the kidnapper wearing a devil mask like a mad bull with red eyes.
A chase broke out in the dark banquet hall.
The screams got louder!
The crowd was in chaos and began to flee in all directions.
These were all anticipated in Lin Chuyin's battle plan, and soon the lighting systems installed throughout the banquet hall were activated, restoring the hall to light again!
But what is frightening is that there are several more "evil ghosts" in the banquet hall at this moment!
And these evil spirits have already caught a guest in their hands!
Moreover, these evil spirits acted in a very coordinated and orderly manner, fleeing in different directions!
"How audacious!"
Lin Chuyin gritted her teeth and rushed out.
They caught an evil ghost who was fighting with Shengnan and surrounded him together.
As soon as the lights were turned off, Nie Ruoyun realized something was wrong and quickly ran off the stage.
At that time, Shen Yingnian ran over to pick her up immediately, and then the two of them followed the crowd and ran outside.
Let Lin Chuyin and the others take on this arduous and great task of catching thieves. It’s best for me to just run away!
During this chaotic time, the air was filled with constant sounds of crashing and breaking.
When the night watchman and the kidnappers were in a stalemate, a green light suddenly came from the window, broke the window, and knocked an evil ghost to the ground!
The next moment, a man in blue stood in the middle of the field with a heroic look.
Zhai Qingyi!
He actually showed up!
"Zhai Qingyi! Aren't you staying in the provincial capital and unable to come back?" The knocked-down evil ghost screamed in fear.
Zhai Qingyi smiled coldly: "The trump card is always saved for the last moment, is it surprising? Is it unexpected?"
