Wu Zhou’s expression changed and he immediately cowered. Everyone in Hucheng City knew that Zhong Yihan was a ruthless person. More importantly, he was not only this way to outsiders, but also to his childhood friends. He had been beaten up many times over the years. Therefore, he could only admit defeat in front of Zhong Yihan. What a pity, he really wanted to cry but had no tears.

Soon, it was 10 o’clock in the evening, and the auction officially began.

At the beginning, the auction items were jade and porcelain ornaments. Jin Xi was not interested in these things, until an exquisite metal box was brought onto the stage.

The auctioneer said in a high-pitched voice, “the item in the box is our final item for today, Soul Pearl. Legend has it that it once belonged to an empress a thousand years ago. It had absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and had the effect of restoring the soul and body, as well as bringing the dead back to life.”

After saying that, the auctioneer took out a key and opened the metal box. In an instant, several rays of light shot out from the box and illuminated the dark bar. Everyone cried out in surprise.

The auction for the Soul Pearl is officially starting. The starting price was 11 million! After the auctioneer finished speaking, the crowd below began to bid wildly.

“12 million.”

“13 million.”

“16 million.”

…

Many people had come for this pearl. Who didn’t want a treasure that could bring the dead back to life?

“Jin Xi.” Zhang Lan wanted to know what she’s thinking.

Jin Xi didn’t say anything, but her fingers silently tapped the milk tea cup twice.

Zhang Lan immediately understood. He raised his card, “30 million!”

The moment the bid was called out, everyone looked at them. Everyone else was bidding a few millions, but they had raised the price to 30 million. Was this monk crazy? But in reality, there were people who were even crazier!

“40 million!” A man’s voice came from the second floor.

Jin Xi looked up and met Zhong Yihan’s burning gaze. He looked noble, like a god. She finally knew whose gaze it was.

“Raise the price!” Jin Xi ordered.

“45 million!” Zhang Lan raised her sign again.

“50 million!” Zhong Yihan replied.

…

The people in the bar were all stunned. These two people must be crazy. Even if they had money, they shouldn’t bid like this!

“80 million!” Zhong Yihan once again raised the bid by a large margin.

Zhang Lan didn’t follow. He knew very well that Jin Xi had donated most of the money she earned to the orphanage. She only had 80 million yuan left.

“Why don’t we just let it go?”

Jin Xi didn’t reply. Instead, she looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

Zhang Lan was shocked, “you’re not thinking of…?”

“Take it,” Jin Xi took off the bracelet and threw it on the table.

“Why are you so stubborn?” Zhang Lan still wanted to dissuade her, but he was stopped by Jin Xi’s gaze. He didn’t dare to say anything more and picked up the bracelet and walked towards the auction stage.

“Sir…” the auctioneer was a little confused, not knowing what the monk was going to do.

Zhang Lan didn’t waste any time and opened his palm, “we didn’t bring enough money today, so we want to use this bracelet to exchange for the Soul Pearl.”

“A bracelet?” The auctioneer glanced at the bracelet and showed a look of disdain. “I’m sorry, sir. You can buy three of these bracelets at 20 yuan on the street. Please don’t joke around.”

“3 for 20 yuan?” Zhang Lan sneered, “since you are holding an auction, you must have an appraiser. Wouldn’t we know if it’s a cheap product or not after we ask the appraiser?”

The auctioneer wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t be too perfunctory in front of everyone, so he could only send someone to get the appraiser from backstage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the appraiser, Mr. Shang Guanyang. I’m sure many of you here know this old man. He’s also the president of the Antique Association in Shanghai.”

Hearing this, many people below the stage nodded, confirming the identity and status of this appraiser.

“You want to use your bracelet to exchange for the Soul Pearl?” Shang Guanyang asked.

Zhang Lan didn’t say much and handed the bracelet over.

He took the bracelet and a magnifying glass to carefully examine it. After a while, his face suddenly changed.

The auctioneer asked, “sir, what do you think? Is it a cheap bracelet?”

Shang Guanyang didn’t respond. He looked straight at Zhang Lan and asked with a trembling voice, “how did you get this bracelet?”

“That’s none of your business,” Zhang Lan said calmly, “you just need to tell me the value of this bracelet.”

He looked at the bracelet in his hand, his eyes shining, “it’s a priceless treasure!”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, especially Wu Zhou on the second floor.
