My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 953: Proving Something
The credibility of Hua Lunxi’s words was uncertain to him, but he chose to believe them, because he couldn’t accept the consequences if anything happened to Ye Lu.
Third Young Master Jun’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he scanned anxiously over the crowd below, attempting to find any face that resembled Ye Lu’s.
"What happened?" Su Feiman, ever vigilant, quickly noticed his unusual behavior.
"Nothing," Third Young Master Jun replied with a slight smile, his face feigning indifference while his eyes remained cold, "I just feel that the auction of these two items, will inevitably cause some disturbance." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
He didn’t know why Ye Lu was here, why Hua Lunxi knew about it and came to him for help, but various oddities indicated that this matter was extraordinary.
He absolutely mustn’t let the godfather find out!
Soon, the price was wildly inflated, reaching two billion, leaving many in the audience dumbstruck. What exactly are these two items, and are they truly worth that much?
Many shifted from excitement to spectating, eager to see the outcome of this frenzied bidding.
Ye Lu, hidden among the crowd, heard the terrifying figure of two billion without a hint of panic in her eyes, calm and unnoticed.
But her heart sank. Such a bidding method clearly indicated that the opponent was taking her on directly, not planning to let her win the auction. So even if the bidding continued, the other party would be relentless.
Her eyes, cold as ice, swept lightly over the private boxes on the third floor, observing the proud and self-assured faces of Yiren and her father.
Putting items up for auction only to buy them back -- what did that mean? It seemed that Ivan and his daughter’s intent was not to sell their family’s items after all.
Full of doubts, she wondered what the significance of bringing these two items to auction was if not to sell them. What were they trying to prove?
Ye Lu’s expression suddenly changed, a bad premonition brewing within her.
It couldn’t possibly be what she suspected, could it?
She gasped in a cold breath as her gaze sharpened and her pupils contracted. No matter what, she had to strike first!
She lowered her head to check her watch.
At the auction, the man who had been steadily raising his bid suddenly made an even more astonishing statement, "Continuing this bidding like this is pointless. Here’s the deal, whoever bids, I’ll add one billion on top of their offer, how about it?"
At his words, the room erupted in shock. Such boldness was no longer a matter of throwing a fortune but throwing a billion.
What in the world were those two items, that this man would spare no expense to buy them?
Ivan and his daughter frowned; they had thought that as the price soared, the man would give up, but he had gone as far as to make such an outrageous claim.
An underling quietly approached.
Yiren’s brows tensed as she asked, "What, have you found who this man is secretly in contact with?"
Their men were stationed in multiple corners across the three floors, ten people monitoring the man, not missing any of his glances.
The subordinate was dejected, "He does look around before bidding, but his gaze covers too wide an area and doesn’t linger on any one spot, so we couldn’t detect any eye contact with anyone."
"You’re useless," Yiren snapped, delivering a harsh slap to his face, and the man didn’t dare to breathe.
Ivanov frowned, "It seems this woman is extremely cautious. Despite so many people watching, we still can’t find her; she’s indeed quite the character!"
In Yiren’s misty, beautiful eyes, frustration was apparent.
