Chapter 861
During these four years, the Dragon Corps was in chaos and collapsed, and the situation in China was complicated by the disputes between the Gu and Lu families.
His path must have been harder and more dangerous to follow.
So if it’s there, and nothing else, at least sometimes it’s a real guarantee that he’s safe.
Bella Qiao’s mind was whirling, and at that moment, the warm palm reached out again and held her hand silently in the dark.
As if by heart, they both turned their heads and looked at each other again.
All saw emotion and affection in each other’s eyes.
Bella Qiao was startled.
I don’t know why, but there was a sudden warmth in my heart at that moment.
A different kind of emotion grew from her heart, making her panic a little.
Panicking, I pulled away from his grip and whispered, “Don’t do anything stupid, it’s public!”
The woman’s dodge and shyness made the man’s lips quirk up in pleasure.
And no more reluctance, but the hand was never withdrawn, and it was just idly resting there, which she could touch with a slight lean.
Bella Qiao’s mind was a bit confused, not daring to look at him anymore and turned towards the stage.
The next few items that come out later are either ancient implements used by emperors and prime ministers, or precious jade and stones worn by one of the concubines and queens.
Neither Kuskan nor Bella Qiao was interested, and thus, neither made a move.
Instead, Lin Song, ended up licking his face and shooting a set of the finest red coral jewellery for Jing Jing.
Due to the large number of lots today, in the blink of an eye, it was already two hours past.
The host announces a twenty-minute intermission, and then the second half begins.
The crowd dispersed and began to head out to the outside hall to move around and rest.
Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian also went outside together.
The actual actual time you’ll be able to get a good deal more than just a few of these, you’ll be able to get a great deal more than just a few of these.
The four of them went out into the hall together, and soon someone came over to socialize with Gu Siqian.
The other party was a somewhat balding middle-aged man with a big beer belly, who came over with a glass of champagne and smiled: “Congratulations, Gu Shao, on your happy ending today, I’ll drink to you.”
Gu Si Qian faintly held his lips, picked up his cup and clinked it with him.
Only after finishing the wine did the other party smile and say, “I wonder if Gu Shao has heard that there is another exceptional treasure that will appear as an auction item today.”
Gu Si Qian raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t hide it, “Know.”
“Is that why young Gu is here too?”
Gu Si Qian’s gaze played with his eyes and smiled, “The vast majority of people who came over today are only here for this, I’m afraid.”
I thought that the other side would be quite agreeable.
Unexpectedly, he just sighed, shook his head, and then, looking mysterious, leaned in and said, “Truth be told, I don’t really believe in the legend of bringing the dead back to life, and it’s hard to tell if it’s useful or not, but it’s no longer a lucky thing to see everyone trying to snatch it up like crazy.”
Gu Si Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Only half a dozen times did he faintly say, “Good insight, Chi.”
The middle-aged man known as Mr. Qi smiled shyly, “I’m only here today to take a look at what this legendary treasure that has caused a furore in the rivers and lakes actually looks like, to be honest, although I’ve seen its pictures online.
But it’s curious about it itself.”
Gu Si Qian nodded faintly.
The man may have realized that he was talking too much, and that the other man had no intention of having a deep conversation with him.
So I said a few more words and then left.
He was there just now, so Lin Song took Jing Jing to the other side to enjoy the paintings.
After all, this hotel, being owned by Lin, the samples hanging inside were all genuine, and although he was a frequent visitor, Jing Jing had never been here before, so he took her around.
And this time, seeing that he had left, Lin Song came over with his cup.
“Siken, what did this old bald ass just say to you?”
Gu Si Qian faintly looked at him and said, “Told me that the Book of Heaven and Jade was not a good thing, and that he came over just out of curiosity and had no desire to fight for the treasure.”
Lin Song smiled coldly at the words.
Watching the other man’s back as he left, he said coldly, “If he doesn’t want it, the sun will have to come out of the west.”
Bella Qiao was surprised.
From his resentful tone, he seemed to have a grudge against this man.
Around the time he noticed her confused gaze, Lin Song explained, “This person is a relative on my mother’s side, and earlier on, when he knew that someone had booked our venue to hold this auction, he had been asking around to find out the whereabouts of this treasure, and even tried to lend us a hand to get the item for him.”
“Heh, now that I see that Si Qian is here, he’s probably feeling hopeless about taking the treasure, so he came over to show his loyalty, it’s just disgusting.”
Bella Qiao listened to his explanation, which dawned on him, and laughed again, “It’s pretty disgusting.”
It is inevitable and not shameful that everyone is greedy.
Shame on the unscrupulousness and hypocrisy, like the wind blowing on both sides of a wall, that makes it hard to say.
As soon as he said that, Lin Song seemed to be interested in gossiping, and looked around to make sure that no one was passing this way before he whispered, “Let me ask you guys a question, do you know who the organizer of this auction is?”
Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian were both stunned and raised their eyebrows, “I don’t know.”
It is reasonable to say that in the past, the organizer of whatever auction was held had to be clear.
But all this was left out of all the invitations, just the venue and time, and the photos of the shoot.
And everyone’s attention is only on those who will be auctioned off on rare treasures, actually all the time did not pay attention to the existence of the organizers.
Lin Song laughed, “Not only you guys don’t know, I reckon that all 99% of the people who came over today don’t know.”
Gu Si Qian’s face was cold and he said in a deep voice, “Don’t sell out.”
Bella Qiao also pursed her lips, agreeing with Gu Si Qian’s words.
Lin Song saw that it was hard for him to pretend to be profound and inscrutable, but he was ruthlessly broken by Gu Siqian, and he couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved.
With a grudging look at him, that’s when he said, “Well, I’ll tell you, it’s the Nannies.”
“What?”
“What?”
The two of them shouted in unison, and Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian looked at each other, both seeing incredulity in each other’s eyes.
After all, outsiders don’t know, but they two do.
When the Dragon Corps and the Vermilion Bird Society started a battle for a piece of heavenly jade scroll, both sides ended up losing, but this piece of heavenly jade scroll was stolen in the chaos and has never been found again.
Chapter 862
Now it’s actually being taken out by the Nannies?
How is this…possible?
Both of them were in shock.
After all, in that strife back then, there was no sign of the Nan Clan at all, so no one had ever thought that the item would end up in their hands.
Did it look like the strife back then was started by traitors within the Vermilion Bird Society, but in reality they were the ones who started it?
No, it can’t be!
Gu Siqian and Nan Muyong of the Nan Clan had always been close, and at that time there was no competition in business, so the relationship was even closer.
If it was really the Nan Clan that had interfered, there was no way Gu Siqian hadn’t noticed.
Then, if they really hadn’t interfered back then, and the piece hadn’t fallen into their hands, could it be that there was a second piece of heavenly jade in this world?
Bella Qiao suddenly thought of a possibility that sent chills down her spine.
Turning his head, he looked at Gu Si Qian, but saw that the other party was similarly gloomy and unpleasant.
Lin Song also noticed that something was wrong with the two of them and asked, “What’s wrong with you guys?What’s with the reaction?”
Georgie shook her head, “Nothing.”
And then, after a pause, “You go on.”
“Oh.”
Lin Song didn’t know what the two of them were thinking, so he could only look at them in confusion and continue.
“When he first approached us and wanted to borrow the space, he had offered not to disclose their identity, our family is a business, we just don’t care if he pays or not, as far as identity and all that, so we agreed.”
“But then I thought about this, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, you guys said, but whenever someone holds an auction, it’s a symbol of that family’s strength and prestige, so why won’t the Nan Clan disclose their identity?Is there something fishy going on in this auction?Or do they hold this auction, which appears to be for sharing some treasures, but actually has an ulterior motive?”
It had to be said that although Lin Song didn’t know the truth of the matter, this analysis made a lot of sense.
It’s probably called a random punch to the old master.
Yet Bella Qiao and Gu Siqian understood that the reason why the other party was reluctant to disclose it was not because there was anything fishy about it.
Rather, it was because they didn’t want people to know that they had taken this piece of heavenly jade out.
As we all know, the heavenly book of jade has the function of reviving the dead, although do not know whether it is true or not, but Chuan Li has been illustrated, almost this function will be the coffin of the conclusion.
Ordinary people, even if they had some doubts about the veracity of this rumor, were born and who wouldn’t want to live forever?Who wouldn’t want to own a treasure that can bring back the dead?
This temptation was too great, and throughout the ages, even a noble emperor would not be able to escape this temptation, let alone a mortal.
So, even though there were doubts about the veracity of this rumor, it still couldn’t stop people from flocking together.
Even more so, everyone wants to compete for it, even if it only has a one in a million chance of taking it home and trying it out to see if it’s as magically effective as it’s said to be.
I have to say that the other side played a good game of chess.
It’s almost like picking on the weakest weakness in human nature and raising a hand to stir up a storm.
Georgie’s mood sank.
Gu Siqian was no better, his eyebrows remained locked, but his heart was pondering the intentions of the Nan Clan in doing so.
By all accounts, the family had kept a low profile for so many years, it wasn’t meant to be a fan of flamboyant s*xuality.
Because they are already at the pinnacle of power themselves, much less out to play such a big game of chess for fame and fortune.
So what are they after?
The same confusion lingered in Georgie’s mind.
What good is it for the other side to go to such lengths just to mess up all the situations?
It’s like, back then, when the dragon group and the Vermilion Bird Society were at odds, and the dragon group was split up, if it was really in their hands, but in the end, the Nan Clan didn’t see any of the Vermilion Bird Society’s or the dragon group’s territory encroached upon, let alone share the benefits.
Why is that, exactly?
The two men were baffled.
Lin Song, however, didn’t think about it that much, he wasn’t from this circle, and although the Lin family was extremely powerful locally, it was limited to business.
So looking at the two locked eyebrows, they even joked, “You’re not scared of me, are you?Hahahaha, don’t be silly, I’m just saying, there’s no such thing as conspiracy theories.It might just be that people like to keep a low profile, I don’t know.”
Anna also noticed the abnormality of these two, but girls, by nature, have to be more delicate-minded than boys.
So concerned, he asked, “Is there something wrong with young Gu and Sister Bella Qiaoao?”
Georgie looked up, looked at her, and shook her head.
“It’s fine, it’s just like Linzon said, we really thought there was a conspiracy and thought it was strange.”
This matter, in the end, is not their business in that circle.
It’s better not to let them know if it’s not necessary.
After all, if this game of chess is really their game, then this opponent will be very scary, Lin has been in business, has always refused to get involved in this circle of half dirt, so it is best not to drag them into the water.
Gu Si Qian was about to think of going with her and just change the subject.
“I heard that uncle put you in the position of Lin’s president the other day?”
At the mention of this, Lin Song nodded his head in succession, “Yes, originally those brothers of the Lin family’s side branches were not happy, thinking that I, the youngest one, was occupying the power of the company by being my father’s own son, all unconvinced, and as a result, they were up there with three fires all to be convinced.”
Gu Si Qian smiled and clinked his glass with him, “Congratulations.”
Lin Song was also a little proud, after all, although the chairman of the Lin family was his father, but the entire company, but everyone together to fight down.
He had always known that the cousins of the side branch were disgruntled with themselves and felt that they were incapable of doing anything but cast well so they had the inheritance of the company.
But he’s also worked really, really hard and is nothing like the dude they thought he was, so of course he’s happy to have such a nice turnaround this time.
So Lin Song and Gu Siqian clinked their glasses and they both finished their drinks.
At this time, the staff came over and took Gu Si Qian to sign the bill.
Because the gold silk soft hedgehog armor he had auctioned off in the first half was now wrapped up for him, and all that was needed was a signature, and they could take the item away by transferring the money from the account that Gu Siqian had submitted over earlier in the morning.
After Gu Siqian signed the papers, the other party quickly sent the items over.
Gu Si Qian wasn’t worried about these people tampering with anything and had them hand things directly to Qin Yue who was guarding the outside.
Those men took their orders and went.
Chapter 863
The four of them just stood in the hall talking for a while longer, and soon the second half started, and that’s when the group entered the field again.
Still in the same spot, this was announced only after everyone was seated.
The second half of the lot is naturally much more precious and valuable than the first half of the lot.
There are paintings by ancient masters, jade seals that have been lost for thousands of years, and scepters that were once used by European royalty.
In short, there was a constant stream of all kinds of treasures.
But Koh was getting closer and closer to the last rare treasure, and at this point, everyone was much more cautious instead.
All of them no longer focused their attention on the preceding items, and all of them held their breath, quietly waiting for the last piece of treasure to appear.
Lin Song, of course, had heard about this last treasure, and about the time he felt that Bella Qiao and Gu Siqian were also equal to his thoughts, he even spat a few words with them.
Immediately after, and then turned back to Jingjing said: “I feel the resurrection of the dead, immortality and so on is a lie, to really immortal live for thousands of years, that is not an old monster?”
Anna looked at him with a smile like a smile, “If being an old monster makes you immortal, it doesn’t matter, the point is to not be old, don’t you want that?”
The smile on Lin Song’s face stiffened.
Followed by a series of head shakes.
“I don’t want to.”
Anna showed a look of disbelief.
But Lin Song looked very serious and said, “After all, there is only one copy of this treasure, and it can only guarantee immortality for one person, if I really use it, what’s the point if everyone I know is dead and I’m the only one left alive?And most importantly…”
He paused, and suddenly said incomparably serious and earnest, “I don’t want to live without you, give me another ten thousand years.”
Anna’s thanatology froze there.
It was as if the whole man was stunned.
Looking at him, neither of them spoke, in such dimness, yet it was as if they could see a thousand words in each other’s eyes.
Finally, she looked a little uncomfortable and turned away, saying, “Don’t say it.”
Besides, she was about to be moved to say yes to him.
Lin Song didn’t know what she was thinking, he only thought that what he had just said was too menglang and abrupt to others, he even whispered, “I’m sorry.”
After a pause, in the end, I didn’t give up and added, “But I mean it.”
Afterwards, this was silenced and no more words were spoken.
Anna didn’t say another word.
And by this time, the front of the lot was nearly finished.
Finally, it was the last item, the Heavenly Book of Jade, which had been awaited with great attention by everyone, was about to appear.
Bella Qiao could feel that ever since the host began to introduce the last lot, the audience seemed to have suddenly gone quiet, so quiet that even a pin dropped on the ground could be heard.
Almost everyone, holding their breath, was waiting for it to happen.
Finally, after the host had finished his brief preliminaries, he announced, “Please welcome our last lot, the Heavenly Book of Jade, which is regarded as a rare treasure and can bring the dead back to life!”
As her voice trailed off, the curtain on the side of the stage was pulled open and two heavily armed crew members, pushing a glass display case, came up.
The glass display case is only one and a half meters high, the height just to people sitting in the line of sight position, for people to view.
Only in the middle of that glass display case, there was a crystal clear jade stone.
The jade is white, and the whole appears in a crystalline hue, the length being of a band with a slight
The curved rectangle is only about three or four millimeters thick.
A small piece of something that was just lying there quietly, but made everyone look straight at it.
The host began to introduce its history and effects, but Bella Qiao and Gu Siqian immediately recognized the piece of jade, the one that caused the war between the dragon group and the Vermilion Bird Society.
She’ll never admit she’s wrong!
Because in the beginning, the two organizations, it was such a small piece of something that caused a war and eventually got to the point where it got out of hand.
Bella Qiao’s eyes deepened, Gu Si Qian’s face sank, and they both held up their signs in unison.
“Eighty million!”
The first bid was the highest of the night.
But even so, as soon as the words dropped, someone immediately followed with a price increase.
“Eighty-five million!”
“Ninety million!”
“Ninety-five million!”
Because of the regulations, this treasure is very rare, and because of its unique effects, it is a treasure that almost everyone wants to take.
So the increase is also higher, at least $5 million at a time.
Not a low number, not to mention a lot when placed in the homes of ordinary people, even the more affluent families.
But in the eyes of these people here today, it’s nothing.
As a result, the bidding is getting hotter and hotter.
But Bella Qiao and Gu Siqian, since the first bid once, didn’t even open their mouths afterwards.
Lin Song was able to see that the two of them wanted this treasure very badly and was a bit anxious when they didn’t open their mouths anymore.
Encouraged from the sidelines, “Why don’t you scream?These old guys are so black-hearted and ruthless that they’ll really be shot by someone later?”
Seeing the two ignore him, they both just looked serious and stared at the stage, while on the other side, the price had been increased to over $300 million, and at that price, a lot of people had already started to back out.
After all, the rumor was that it would live forever and bring back the dead.
But most of the people present were smart people, so how could they not know that the thing about immortality and rising from the dead was sometimes a figment of one’s imagination.
In fact, how can it be true that the cells in the human body age gradually as they get older?
So, at first, we were all a bit tempted to leap into the valley of arrears and take a gamble.
But as the price got higher and higher, and by the end it had even increased to $500 million, a lot of people started to back away.
After all, it’s okay to try and gamble for a precious treasure.
But if the stakes are too high and the stuff really doesn’t work that well, spending half a billion dollars on a piece of jade is somewhat of a joke.
So, at the end of the day, the price had reached $800 million, and there were only two people left in the room to bid.
One was the Qi who had come to greet Gu Siqian earlier, and the other, a blonde haired and blue eyed foreigner.
Lin Song was so anxious when he saw that Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao hadn’t made a move.
He was afraid that it would end up in the hands of Mr. Qi, so that the other party would have the capital to come and fool around in front of him again, so he said urgently: “Si Qian, are you short of money?Not enough to talk to me, I’ll lend you, as much as you want, and fu*k this grandson down!”
Gu Si Qian gave him a faint glance, his eyes showing the light of caring intellectuals.
Lin Song: “……..”
Anna couldn’t help it in the end, pulled his sleeve and said, “These two are still fighting, what are you so anxious about? When they’ve fought it out, Gu Shao will naturally take action.”
