[Rat cat] Mirror City

"400 million!" As soon as Ding Yuehua finished speaking, Pang Yan pressed the bidding button before everyone else recovered, raising the price by 50.

As soon as Pang Yan made a move, the people around him discussed in low voices again.This is indeed a good piece of jade, they all admit.It's just that Pang Yan would make a move in the first place, which made them all feel surprised.

Although Pang Yan's experience in the antique industry is still young, every decision he makes is commendable.It seemed strange to them that Pang Yan would be so enthusiastic about one of the auction items.

But then, there was another thing that surprised them even more.Bai Yutang, who had been silent since he participated in the auction, followed closely and pressed the bid button, "450 million!"

One of these two is a rookie in the antique world, and the other suddenly made an effort at the end of the auction just to bid for the same auction item?Everyone looked at this piece of white jade, and the doubts and bewilderment in their eyes deepened.

Ding Yuehua was also dumbfounded, and Pang Yan and Bai Yutang went back and forth, forcing the price of this piece of white jade up by 100 million.Will the two of them bid like this?

Ignoring the astonishment of the people around, Pang Yan and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and continued to bid one after the other without hesitation.

For the last auction item, the two of them could compete like this, and everyone around them became curious. Occasionally, a few people would participate in the bidding, but in the end it still became the main battleground between Bai Yutang and Pang Yan.

No matter if it was the other people present or Ding Yuehua who heard that kind of quotation, everyone was terrified.The two people who took the initiative to attack didn't care at all, they just stared at the opposite person calmly.

"I didn't expect that. I thought Mr. Bai that you planned not to make a move for the whole game." Pang Yan looked at Bai Yutang probingly, and he became more and more sure that Ding Yuehua must have wanted to sell this piece of white jade to Bai Yutang.

I just don't know if Bai Yutang's reason for wanting to get this piece of white jade is the same as his own.Bai Yutang didn't answer him for a long time.

It was also at the same time that Bai Yutang and Pang Yan were facing each other, Zhan Zhao and Song Qianxun also retreated from the upsurge of discussions at the auction, and looked at each other calmly.

Behind each of them, two men were bidding, and the tense feeling surrounded the four of them, while Zhan Zhao and Song Qianxun looked at each other calmly, which added to the tense atmosphere. A trace of unpredictability.

"What a pity..." Song Qianxun said regretfully, "I didn't expect you to be interested in this."

"There are so many unexpected things in this world." Zhan Zhao replied.

"Yes, but at least this proves that we both have the same interests." The corners of Song Qianxun's lips curled up, making people feel that he was happy.His back was facing Pang Yan, only Zhan Zhao could see his expression clearly.

Zhan Zhao fell silent, and the two of them did not speak any more, they both quietly listened to the bidding of the man behind them.In just a moment, the price of this piece of white jade broke through 900 million, but neither of them showed any signs of stopping.

At some point in time, only the voices of Bai Yutang and Pang Yan were left bidding in the entire auction.From the beginning to the end, Bai Yutang did not say anything other than the quotation.

Seeing that Pang Yan raised the price to 900 million, Bai Yutang lost the joy of continuing to increase the price by hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands. He pressed the bidding button again, "1000 million."

There was a sound of breathing in the venue, and they never expected that Bai Yutang would quote this price without changing his face.Now, even Pang Yan hesitated a little.

When he came out this time, he didn't expect that Bai Yutang would bid with him, so he didn't prepare much money.Although he has made some progress in the antique industry, he didn't have that much money in the initial stage, and he couldn't take it with his family...

Moreover, he won several antiques before, which made Pang Yan's bid no room to rise.Pang Yan nervously calculated his possible initial additional space in his mind, at most 500 million, and at most 500 million Bai Yutang had already reached his limit of price increase.

"Eleven million." But Pang Yan didn't want to back down yet.

"Two million for 1000." Bai Yutang pressed the price increase button again, refusing to give in at all.

Pang Yan stared at Bai Yutang, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hide the difficulty in his tone, "Mr. Bai is determined to argue with me about this?"

Bai Yutang raised the corners of his lips confidently, and looked down at Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao likes it." So I decided.Even without saying the second half of the sentence, Pang Yan could still feel the meaning.

"300 million!" Pang Yan gritted his teeth.

"400 million." Bai Yutang said calmly.

"..." Although Pang Yan's finger had already pressed the bidding button, he couldn't move it no matter what.This time, if he raises the price again, all his hole cards will be used up. This is a difficult decision, once the next step is made, it will be a dead hand.

If there was a bid, then Pang Yan would have no way out, but Bai Yutang... Pang Yan looked up at Bai Yutang, but he still looked like he was free.Pang Yan knew right away that Bai Yutang could easily pass the dead end in front of him.

Even if he lost all the cards in his hand, Bai Yutang might not back down.So...does he still need to increase the price?Facing the very likely failure, Pang Yan hesitated.

Every time the bidding is close to the end of the transaction, Ding Yuehua will always give the customer a little more time to hesitate and think.This time, Ding Yuehua gave Pang Yan only one minute.

Bai Yutang looked at Pang Yan, who was waiting.In his opinion, Pang Yan's failure is a foregone conclusion. The only difference is whether the price is 400 million or 600 million, but it doesn't matter to him.

As for Pang Yan, no matter whether he gave up now or continued to bid for 100 million yuan, the result would be the same. The piece of white jade belonged to Zhan Zhaohe himself.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Pang Yan could feel that not only Bai Yutang was looking at him, not only Zhan Zhao was looking at him, but also Ding Yuehua on the auction stage, and everyone present were watching. Except for Song Qianxun, who had always turned her back to her.

Pang Yan hesitated, looking down at Song Qianxun, hoping to get some advice from him.While Pang Yan lowered his head, Song Qianxun also turned to look at him, and Pang Yan met Song Qianxun's calm eyes.

From there, Pang Yan could only see unchanging firmness.Just looking at it like this, Pang Yan felt that he should press it.Under such eyes, Pang Yan even felt that his momentary hesitation was a mistake.

Ding Yuehua's countdown to two to one sounded in his ears. Without the previous hesitation, Pang Yan resolutely pressed the bid button, "500 million." This is the last time. If you can't get it now, think about it later. The method, whether it is stealing or robbing, does not matter.

"..." Seeing Pang Yan's determination to do this, Bai Yutang also admired his determination, but this time, this piece of white jade really belonged to him.

Bai Yutang was about to press the bid button, but Zhan Zhao quietly stretched his hand from behind to stop him.How is this going?Bai Yutang wanted to ask Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao kept his back to him, and did nothing but prevent him from continuing to bid.

Why doesn't he turn around?Why did he just quietly pass his hands behind his back to stop himself?Bai Yutang could only think that it was to avoid being discovered by Song Qianxun on the opposite side, because Song Qianxun had been paying attention to their actions all the time.

Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao's hand calmly and told him that he knew, and Zhan Zhao let go of his hand.Bai Yutang didn't make any more bids until the countdown ended.

Ding Yuehua was also unexpected, what's the matter, before Bai Yutang made it clear that he would never give up this piece of white jade, and Pang Yan seemed to be at the end of his battle, how could Bai Yutang suddenly give up?Could it be that the bidding button is broken?

She couldn't ask Bai Yutang abruptly, should she say "Does Mr. Bai need to continue bidding?" She was crazy to say that.

While struggling, Ding Yuehua received Zhan Zhao's signal gaze, he was silently motioning her to finalize the ownership of this piece of white jade.Zhan Zhao's gaze was really suggestive, and Ding Yuehua subconsciously followed up, "500 million, this piece of white jade belongs to Mr. Pang Yanpang!"

The moment Ding Yuehua made the announcement, applause roared from all around, congratulating Pang Yan for winning this piece of jade.Only Pang Yan still had no real sense of this matter.

He looked at Bai Yutang suspiciously, knowing that Yutang had enough chances to defeat him just now, why did he stop?Naturally, Bai Yutang would not give him an answer, he just turned his head away, pretending to be calm on the surface.

The auction of the last auction item also came to an end, and this auction, which Ding Yuehua defined as "hasty", also came to a complete conclusion.

"Then, all guests, please leave in an orderly manner. Drinks and food have been prepared for you in the restaurant. Please go to eat. Everyone who has won the auction, please go to the trading room to check out the goods. Tonight's auction is really rushed. Yuehua is here I will compensate everyone here." Ding Yuehua thoughtfully provided after-service for the guests.

Pang Yan was still feeling incredible that he got the piece of white jade with all his hole cards. He wanted to ask Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to find out what happened, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had disappeared as soon as the auction ended.

Before Pang Yan knew the situation, Bai Yutang had already dragged Zhan Zhao to the entrance of the passage.Before the others left the auction house, Bai Yutang dragged Zhan Zhao into one of the lounges.

Slamming the door directly without even turning on the lights, Bai Yutang asked, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing. I just saw that you and Pang Yan bid too much. The price has far exceeded the value of the jade itself. You don't have to spend so much money on that jade." His eyes have not yet adapted to the sudden darkness. , Zhan Zhao couldn't see the location of Bai Yutang clearly, so he could only face the general direction of Bai Yutang by relying on the source of the sound.

"What about that blueprint? You didn't finish drawing it at all." The paper under Zhan Zhao's face was blank, and when Bai Yutang saw that, he knew that what Zhan Zhao said to forcefully draw it was simply trying to be brave.

So the most intuitive way is for him to buy that piece of white jade here.

"But it's not worth it..." Zhan Zhao's voice gradually dropped, as if he had no confidence.

Hearing what he said, Bai Yutang only felt his head rush, "What do you mean it's not worth it? That piece of jade is what you want, if it's given to you, then it's worth it."

Thinking that Zhan Zhao stopped his bidding for such a boring question, Bai Yutang was really annoyed and funny.It's too late to raise the price now.Bai Yutang turned around and planned softly, "It's better to go directly to the Pang family to make a deal..."

After much deliberation, there was only one way, Bai Yutang was going to contact the old man of the Pang family.Just as he was about to take out his phone, Bai Yutang caught a glimpse behind him, Zhan Zhao's body seemed to be shaking.

what happened?Somewhat worried about Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang pulled him away.Zhan Zhao was immediately pulled in front of Bai Yutang, and now his eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, so Bai Yutang could clearly see Zhan Zhao's body trembling.

After being pulled over by Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao quickly stretched out his hand to put it on Bai Yutang's chest, and finally couldn't help but bury it on Bai Yutang's shoulder, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

Heideng couldn't see clearly what was wrong with Zhan Zhao, so Bai Yutang reached out to turn on the light.As soon as his hand touched the wall, Bai Yutang heard Zhan Zhao's voice.

Although the voice was really soft, as if it accidentally leaked out of the corner of his mouth, Bai Yutang did hear it, and it was Zhan Zhao laughing there.laugh?

Bai Yutang felt as if he understood something, he quickly held Zhan Zhao's face, "What are you laughing at? Look up."

In the end, Zhan Zhao looked as if he was in a confrontation with him, his head was lowered desperately, and his neck was stuck, but he refused to let Bai Yutang see his face.

Now Bai Yutang is more sure that Zhan Zhao has a ghost.Zhan Zhao desperately lowered his head, and Bai Yutang simply held Zhan Zhao's face with both hands, not only preventing Zhan Zhao from escaping but also making Zhan Zhao raise his head.

The moment Zhan Zhao was forced to look up, Bai Yutang completely took in the unconcealable smile on Zhan Zhao's face.Seeing Zhan Zhao's smile, Bai Yutang felt his whole body go stiff.

When Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang's instantly stiff expression, he couldn't hide his smile at all, and the suppressed laughter broke out completely.

While laughing out loud, Zhan Zhao seemed to run away.It's a pity that Bai Yutang brought him back as soon as this plan had a slight start.

Unable to escape, Zhan Zhao immediately changed his attitude and begged for mercy, "Yutang, fifth master, fifth master Bai, I admit my mistake. Can you confess and be lenient?"

"Not the death penalty, but the death penalty with reprieve." Bai Yutang was not so easy to fool, and directly gave Zhan Zhao a choice.Want to be frank and lenient?There are no doors.

Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth, but he also knew that he couldn't bargain with Bai Yutang.He had no choice but to feel in his pocket, took out a folded handkerchief, and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang accepted it puzzled, and found that the folded handkerchief was heavy.Under Zhan Zhao's signal, Bai Yutang lifted the handkerchief.In the darkness, he seemed to see something lying on his palm through a handkerchief.

Zhan Zhao turned on the light switch, and the originally dark lounge suddenly brightened up.Bai Yutang finally saw the appearance of the object in his palm.

Bai Yutang looked at the thin piece of jade in his hand, with vertical and horizontal lines connected on it, this thickness, this color, Bai Yutang could only think of the jade piece inside the piece of white jade that was auctioned tonight.

"You took it out?" "How is it possible?" The four big words jumped in Bai Yutang's mind, and he looked at Zhan Zhao, "How did you take it out? Didn't it mean that it would take a lot of money?" Is it your kung fu?"

"Yutang, calm down." This piece of jade is frighteningly thin, and Bai Yutang is agitated right now, Zhan Zhao was afraid that Bai Yutang's hand would shake and crush the piece of jade, so he hurried forward to take the handkerchief from Bai Yutang's hand come over.

"Tell me, when did you take it out?" Bai Yutang didn't have the time to chatter with Zhan Zhao.

"Eh..." Zhan Zhao silently weighed how to answer in his heart. He always felt that Bai Yutang would not let him go, but under the pressure of Bai Yutang's gaze, Zhan Zhao decided to confess:

"Before we came out of Ding Yuehua's tomb, she secretly told me. The piece of jade itself was made of three pieces of jade. The craftsman's hand was very skillful, and a very inconspicuous mechanism was used, so it was difficult to check. But as long as you pull the mechanism, you can easily take out the jade piece." Thinking that I just lightly buckled it, and the whole piece of jade was divided into three pieces.

Zhan Zhao has to admire the wisdom of the ancients!

"Then why didn't you say it before?" Bai Yutang thought it was funny when he thought of the unyielding relationship between himself and Pang Yan at the auction just now. He got what he wanted most, Zhan Zhao, so he was still there with Pang Yan. Bid on what?

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to participate in an auction, so why should I interrupt you..." As soon as the words came out, the chill around him intensified, Zhan Zhao quickly bit his tongue, and stopped talking.

"When I bid with Pang Yan, you were watching from the sidelines?" Bai Yutang looked at him coldly, "I was still wondering why you were so quiet, so you were suppressing a smile."

"Pfft..." Unable to hold back, Zhan Zhao laughed again. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Bai Yutang as if facing an enemy, fearing that Bai Yutang would do something to him, "I swear, I will finally Those who stop you will never let you spend this unjustly money."

"Then why didn't you tell me in the first place?" After all, Bai Yutang still cared about Zhan Zhao keeping things from him.

"I told you, you won't bid with Pang Yan." Zhan Zhao smiled as soon as he remembered the final transaction price, "You bid with him, and the price of this piece of jade was raised several times, as a donation to society Welfare."

"..." Why does this sound like the truth about the auction bidding that I told Zhan Zhao before?After thinking about it, Bai Yutang thought of another thing, "Then what have you been doing all afternoon?" Didn't you fall asleep from exhaustion?

"I took out this piece of jade. I wanted to draw the map first, but I fell asleep because the sun was so comfortable." Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes enjoying himself.

"..."

Bai Yutang sighed, forgiving him for seeing the ending but not being able to guess the process, Bai Yutang really felt sorry for Zhan Zhao.
