Huang Guangyi was startled and looked towards Private Room Eight!
The people present were directly stunned by the bid from Private Room Eight, as it had five times the price in one go!
This price was beyond their participation, and they could only watch the show.
"Four hundred million!"
Not long after Nalan Mingyue finished speaking, Lu Hao's voice sounded from the adjacent Private Room Nine.
Xu Laifu was startled and quickly asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are you planning to bid for this thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Lu Hao shook his head, a teasing smile playing on his lips, "I'm just making Nalan Mingyue spend more money."
Private Room Eight.
Nalan Mingyue's expression remained unchanged, but Yanzi was furious, "Major General, the next door is the Lu family. Do you want me to go..."
"Five hundred million!" Nalan Mingyue bid for the second time.
After all, her Nalan family was one of the top families in Qingcheng. The dowry they had saved over the years was far more than this.
However, Yanzi felt a pang of heartache.
"It seems Nalan Mingyue has saved a lot of dowry over the years."
Next door, Lu Hao's smile grew wider, "She is bidding for this ginseng simply to cure that old man Nalan Cang's illness. I just won't let her have her way... Six hundred million!"
Yanzi was completely anxious, "Major General, the Lu family is clearly doing this on purpose. Please don't fall into their trap!"
A hint of anger finally appeared on Nalan Mingyue's spirited face. She replied coldly, "For my grandfather, I am determined to get this ginseng... One billion!"
Nalan Mingyue directly went all-in with her dowry. She had to show her resolve and let Lu Hao know her bottom line.
Because she knew very well that the Lu family would never let Lu Hao spend a billion to buy a ginseng!
Low murmurs spread through the auction hall, and they had already guessed that the people from the Lu family and the Nalan family were in these two private rooms.
Huang Guangyi had a broad smile on his face.
The more the auction price increased, the more commission their Chamber of Commerce and auction house would receive, and the more wine he, the vice president, would get.
Private Room Nine.
Xu Laifu felt it was necessary to remind Lu Hao.
"Young Master, we can't continue."
Lu Hao's expression was a little unsightly. He knew this was Nalan Mingyue showing off her power to him, and he also knew it was likely her bottom line.
But Nalan Mingyue, not following the usual pattern, had instead delivered a fatal blow, making him feel stuck and extremely uncomfortable!
"Ten..." Lu Hao began to speak.
"Young Master!" Xu Laifu was startled and quickly interrupted Lu Hao, "Think twice!"
Lu Hao snorted coldly, his face gloomy, and said no more.
"Sold for one billion!"
Huang Guangyi struck the gavel with a decisive blow.
"Major General, one billion is all your dowry. Is it worth it?" Yanzi looked at her Major General helplessly.
"Even if it can make Grandpa better for three days, it's worth it!"
Nalan Mingyue's expression relaxed, and she stood up, saying, "Let's go!"
"Major General, the Lu family ancestral home is being auctioned today. Aren't you going to take a look?" Yanzi asked.
Nalan Mingyue was taken aback and asked back, "You're saying the Lu family ancestral home is being sold?"
"Yes, it's the last item on the auction list. Didn't you see it?" Yanzi pointed to the auction list on the table.
Nalan Mingyue looked at the words 'Lu Family Ancestral Home' and seemed lost in thought.
"Major General? Are you alright?" Seeing Nalan Mingyue lost in thought, Yanzi quickly called out to her.
Nalan Mingyue came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine."
With that, she sat back down.
After the auction of two top jewelry pieces, it was finally time for the highlight of the auction – the Lu family ancestral home.
Huang Guangyi didn't say much and directly announced the starting bid – four billion.
The Lu family ancestral home occupied the best location in Qingcheng. As long as it was planned properly, four billion was not a high price.
However, at such a high price, it was likely that only VIPs in the private rooms had the financial capacity to bid.
"Steward Xu, what do you think the final transaction price will be?" Lu Hao asked Xu Laifu, lounging with his legs crossed.
"At least ten billion," Xu Laifu replied.
Lu Hao glanced at him and smiled, "You old dog certainly knows how to speak."
"Seven billion!" A bid came from Private Room Three.
"Eight billion!" Private Room Six followed closely.
Soon, Private Room Seven and Two also bid, and the price directly reached ten billion!
Huang Guangyi saw that no one was bidding and knew that ten billion was probably the limit. He prepared to strike the gavel.
"One trillion!"
Just then, the bid from Private Room One exploded like a torpedo in everyone's ears.
Huang Guangyi's hand froze in mid-air, thinking he had misheard.
"One... one trillion? My god, did I hear that wrong?"
The scene erupted, and everyone's eyes fell on Private Room One, speculating who was inside!
How could they be so crazy!
Private Room Nine.
The wine glass in Lu Hao's hand trembled violently, spilling wine onto his pants.
"Young... Young Master, did your old servant hear wrong?"
*Crack*—
Lu Hao crushed the wine glass in his hand, his face showing a cold expression, "Someone is trying to cause trouble for the Lu family!!"
Private Room Eight.
Yanzi's face was filled with excitement, "Major General, one trillion... Could the people in Private Room One own a printing press?"
"This person is targeting the Lu family."
Nalan Mingyue naturally didn't believe anyone would bid one trillion for the Lu family ancestral home.
Unless, as Yanzi said, they owned a printing press.
"Targeting the Lu family? Serves them right... Who told the Lu family to be so arrogant just now!" Yanzi said with schadenfreude, "I don't think any of the Lu family are good people!"
On stage, Huang Guangyi's expression was not good.
As the vice president of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally not stupid. He knew that the other party was definitely toying with the Lu family.
He flipped through the guest list in his hand and found that the name of the VIP guest in Private Room One had been erased.
"Who dares to cause trouble at the Cloud Top Auction House?!"
Huang Guangyi roared, "Security, escort them out..."
*Whoosh*—
Before Huang Guangyi could finish speaking, the huge glass wall of Private Room One shattered into countless pieces.
Then, countless ghost money flew out from the private room, fluttering all over the sky.
"Heaven... Heaven and Earth Bank..."
"This... this is... ghost currency..."
Everyone looked at the ghost money falling all over the sky, their faces showing shock and fear, and an inexplicable chill swept through their bodies.
The security guards of the Cloud Top Auction House quickly took action, surrounding Private Room One so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through!
"Courting death!" Lu Hao looked at the endless ghost money, his eyes filled with killing intent, "How dare they curse my Lu family like this? I'll see who is so foolish!"
"Major General, shall we go out and watch the excitement?" Yanzi asked excitedly.
The Lu family was in full swing in Qingcheng. Everyone was curious about who dared to provoke the Lu family at this time.
"Lu Yuansen, you dog! The Lu family's cold case is still unsolved, yet you are auctioning off the ancestral home!"
"Do you really think that all the people from my lineage are dead?!"
Lu Pan stood up, facing the auction hall from his vantage point by the window, his gaze indifferent.
Wherever his gaze fell, everyone's eyes stung, and they subconsciously avoided his gaze.
"Today, I will reclaim everything that belongs to me!"
