Chapter 456: Chapter 0456: Incident at the Venue
Ye Xunhuan did not know what He Luo looked like, as he had never seen it before. He only knew that this object was fully named the Luo Shu River Chart and was a mysterious pattern passed down from ancient Huaxia. After simplifying it, they all referred to it as He Luo!
In "Shan Hai Jing," it states, "Fu Xi obtained the Luo Shu River Chart, which was used by the people of Huaxia, called ’Lianshan’."
Moreover, it was said that Fu Xi’s Eight Trigrams originated from the Luo Shu River Chart!
Legend had it that whoever could obtain the Luo Shu River Chart would have a chance to see through Huaxia’s Qimen Dunjia and the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams, becoming a master of the mysterious arts in one generation!
In brief, the legends were incredible!
Moreover, many records in various books made the Luo Shu River Chart unbelievably significant. Upon close observation, it was evident that all the rumors and records were intricately linked to Huaxia’s Yin Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams!
Of course, some scholars concocted lies that He Luo was a branch of mathematics, usually calling it a magic square or Rubik’s cube to deceive people.
But Ye Xunhuan knew that different levels of understanding allowed different perspectives, leading to different insights and values derived!
Faced with such deceit, Ye Xunhuan felt nothing, as after all, many things in this world cannot be clearly explained; revealing the truth might cause chaos. Thus, they chose to use some lies to deceive the people.
Just then, Ye Xunhuan distinctly felt several chilling auras emanate, causing him to slightly furrow his brows, indicating that some people were already becoming restless.
Sitting next to Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi could clearly feel the change in Ye Xunhuan and couldn’t help but ask, "Do you know about this thing?"
"I don’t know, it’s my first time seeing it!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head, "But this thing looks really strange!"
Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan suspiciously, her feminine intuition telling her that Ye Xunhuan was not telling her the truth.
At that moment, the auctioneer slowly began, "Ladies and gentlemen, this item is provided by a Huaxia expatriate. Its era is uncertain, its value is uncertain, and its name is even more unclear, so this time we need you to gamble..." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Everyone was stunned. How can you auction something when you don’t even know what it is? Do you think this is a stone gamble?
"Due to the uncertain era, uncertain value, and other factors, this item does not have a starting price. Esteemed guests may start bidding!"
As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, Qi Jieyu, who was sitting on Ye Xunhuan, suddenly said, "I bid five million!"
"I bid ten million!" Dongfang Shu also spoke at this time!
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, clenched his fist, thinking, "Could these two women know what this is? Why else would they bid so frantically?"
Other guests were momentarily stunned at this time. What kind of situation was this, an object that looked black and had some patterns, and yet, people were directly bidding up to five and ten million!
Moreover, the bidders were Qi Jieyu and Dongfang Shu, these two women.
Had these two women gone mad or taken the wrong medicine, to bid such high prices for something whose nature and even name were uncertain?
"Twenty million!" A rich, magnetic voice suddenly cried out!
Following the voice, Ye Xunhuan immediately saw Xu Mingzhe.
"Fifty million!"
Everyone went dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before them, thinking, what on earth was this thing that its bid had suddenly soared to fifty million?
Had the Huaxia currency depreciated, or had money become worthless?
The crowd couldn’t help thinking to themselves.
And Ye Xunhuan was completely bewildered, as the one who bid fifty million was none other than Yan Qingdi!
Could it be he knew as well?
"Eighty million!" Qi Jieyu suddenly raised the price by thirty million!
Hearing this price, everyone inevitably gasped in shock.
Eighty million for something unknown, Qi Jieyu must have gone mad, absolutely!
The auctioneer hadn’t expected the item to skyrocket to eighty million either and was also shocked. Initially, he did not want to auction this item at all, after all, what good was auctioning something when you know nothing about it, who would want it!
But who would have thought this item would become tonight’s grand finale, becoming the highest bid item.
Ye Xunhuan slightly furrowed his brows, why did Qi Jieyu bid so fiercely?
Was it because she knew what the item was or was there another reason?
No matter the reason, Ye Xunhuan was more convinced of the former; Qi Jieyu knew what this item was and understood its value.
But if Qi Jieyu knew what this item was, then wouldn’t she also be aware that it was a hot potato that even she couldn’t keep safe once obtained?
Once eighty million was offered, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, shock written all over everyone’s faces as they all turned their eyes toward Qi Jieyu!
Could this item really be that valuable?
Otherwise, why would Qi Jieyu bid so wildly?
No one present was a fool, and seeing Qi Jieyu’s frenzied bidding, their hearts suddenly became active.
But no one else made a bid!
Because they weren’t sure, they didn’t dare to gamble or take the risk, especially now that the bidding had reached the high price of eighty million!
What if the item itself wasn’t actually that valuable?
Wouldn’t that mean huge losses?
It’s known that businessmen chase profit, and even if the item’s inherent value might be high, the risk they would bear was also immense, so they didn’t dare to shout recklessly!
The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, just about to say something, but suddenly everything changed when the hotel’s electrical circuits were destroyed. The venue, previously bright as day, plunged into darkness in an instant. The alarm sounded at this moment, and red warning lights abruptly started flashing across the venue, clearly because the backup power supply had been triggered!
What’s happening?
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes narrowed immediately. Had someone already started to make their move?
At the same time, Xie Mingjiang received a phone call!
Before Xie Mingjiang could open his mouth, a frantic voice immediately came through the receiver: "Mr. Xie, it’s bad. The storeroom has been broken into by force. All infrared devices have been destroyed, and countless of our men are dead or injured..."
"What?"
Xie Mingjiang’s face changed dramatically, and at that moment, he smelled the scent of a conspiracy!
Meanwhile, several figures, like ghosts, silently slipped out of the venue.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at Qiu Ruoxi next to him and whispered to her, "I’m going to check out the situation. Stay here and don’t go out. I’ll come back for you later!"
Qiu Ruoxi was slightly startled, completely clueless about what situation Ye Xunhuan needed to check out. What could possibly be happening outside?
By the time she wanted to speak up, Ye Xunhuan had already disappeared quietly like a phantom in front of Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes.
At this moment, the resort hotel’s electrical circuit was completely destroyed, making immediate repairs impossible. The outside was filled with chaotic crowds.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan also sniffed a hint of blood in the air.
Suddenly, not far ahead of Ye Xunhuan, a black streak flashed by like black lightning, swooshing away and vanishing without a trace.
Although it was pitch black all around, causing significant visual impairment for ordinary people, this meant nothing to Ye Xunhuan, so he saw the black shadow!
Subsequently, several more black streaks whooshed by not far in front of Ye Xunhuan one after another.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then followed.
