Chapter 6: Competition at the Auction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Mang leaned back against the sofa as she played a game.
Her head was cocked to the side as she sat cross-legged. She looked like a big shot with her indolent and careless posture.
A random person would guess that she was an ignorant and incompetent wayward young woman if they cast a glance at her. No one would believe that this irreverent young woman was the world’s best hacker. Looking at her, Lin Shuang was so jealous that her eyes reddened!
She was only seventeen, but was also extremely capable in the medical field. The workings of her mind were beyond those of any human.
Additionally, Gu Si had tracelessly hacked into her computer. Her, an international hacker! How did these siblings’ brains develop?!
“Next up is the last item that we’ll be auctioning tonight, the Sleeping Jade!” The auctioneer’s voice could be heard through the entire bar.
When Gu Mang lifted her head. Her game character jumped into a river and drowned, ending the game.
She put her phone away and stared at the jade that was being brought forward by the master of ceremonies. Her cool black eyes narrowed.
The auctioneer smiled as he announced, “I believe everyone has heard many things about this jade, so I won’t be introducing it. Sleeping Jade, the last item on our auctioni today, starting at 1 million.”
“1.1 million!”
“1.5 million!”
“2 million!”
Those who could enter Tian Que were extremely wealthy.
The legends surrounding the Sleeping Jade were so mysteriously bizarre that the competition to acquire it was extremely stiff.
“4.3 million!”
“10 million.”
A cool and languid voice sounded from the second floor.
The crowd fell silent.
Everyone turned towards the second floor.
It was only a piece of jade.
The organizer at Tian Que had estimated that the highest bid for the Sleeping Jade would probably be 5 million.
And yet here was someone bidding 10 million!
The auctioneer raised his gavel to confirm the sale.
“15 million.” Lin Shuang raised her sign and smiled charmingly.
Gu Mang’s brow twitched as her lips curled into a non-smile.
The auctioneer was so shocked that it took him a moment to snap back to reality. Composing himself, he said, “15 million. Anyone have a higher bid? Going once for 15 million!”
“20 million.” The voice from the second floor rang out again.
Lin Shuang raised her sign. “30 million,” she said calmly.
The auctioneer was speechless.
People bid in increments of 100 thousand but increments of ten million were unheard of.
“40 million,” said the young master on the second floor.
Lin Shuang and Gu Mang exchanged glances and smiled even more charmingly. “50 million.”
Qin Fang’s interest was piqued. “Who is so unafraid of death that they’re trying to snatch Brother Cheng’s thing away?”
He put his glass down, stood up, and walked towards the railing.
Upon seeing that it was the mother and son from earlier, the interest in his gaze grew.
He Yidu walked over as well and placed his arms on the railing. His gaze fell onto Gu Mang and he smirked. “That’s interesting.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a deep, magnetic voice, “60 million.”
The auctioneer was speechless. What kind of big shots were at the auction today?
