Listening to Lin Hao's words, Han Chen and Song Ming were stunned on the spot.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Han Chen almost punched the table.
Song Ming, seated to Lin Hao's right, also had a very unpleasant expression.
Neither Han Chen nor Song Ming had expected this.
The so-called Yin-Yang Mirror artifact had been disguised and was being used to trick people.
At that moment, Han Chen wanted to go directly to the owner of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion to argue.
If it weren't for trusting their reputation, he wouldn't have agreed in advance to that important figure, promising to bring the artifact back.
For any ordinary auction house, Han Chen would not have dared to make such a decision.
It was precisely because of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion's decades-long reputation that Han Chen dared to guarantee it.
He never expected to be swindled in the end.
As Han Chen pondered these thoughts, he was filled with rage.
He couldn't understand why the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, with its reputation, would do such a thing.
Weren't they afraid of their reputation plummeting?
Han Chen was initially filled with confusion.
But then, he seemed to understand.
He had invited Lin Hao today, which allowed him to cut his losses in time and discover that the so-called Yin-Yang Mirror artifact was a scam.
If Lin Hao hadn't been there today, he definitely wouldn't have discovered that the Yin-Yang Mirror was a trick.
Let alone him, probably everyone present wouldn't have noticed.
The owner of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion must have seized upon this point, which is why they dared to do this.
Moreover, more importantly, this disguised Yin-Yang Mirror wasn't fake.
It was just that its lifespan was about to end.
By then, even if he went to argue with the owner of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, he would only be able to express his displeasure.
After all, the Yin-Yang Mirror was not a fake item, and the Hidden Treasure Pavilion had fulfilled its promise that all auctioned items would be genuine.
Thinking about this, Han Chen's teeth itched with hatred.
At the same time.
The auction of the Yin-Yang Mirror began to continue.
However, after Han Chen had requested an appraisal of the Yin-Yang Mirror, the enthusiasm of the entire auction hall significantly diminished.
Even the bosses who had been bidding became very cautious.
Before this.
They had been bidding in increments of five million and one million, wanting to suppress their opponents with momentum and ultimately win the Yin-Yang Mirror.
But now.
Every time they bid, they only increased the price by the minimum increment of one million.
Everyone seemed to have become extremely cautious.
After bidding for four or five minutes like this.
One of the five original bidders finally couldn't hold back and withdrew.
And it wasn't just one person.
Two people withdrew at once.
The sudden withdrawal of two major players from an item that was previously fiercely contested caused a stir in the venue.
Although everyone believed that the items from the Hidden Treasure Pavilion were definitely not fake.
The direct withdrawal of two major players made everyone in their hearts harbor different thoughts.
Just as people were discussing,
Another major player suddenly withdrew from the bidding.
The withdrawal of this major player caused another uproar in the venue.
At this time, the price of the Yin-Yang Mirror had reached two hundred and fifty million.
However.
Although the price of two hundred and fifty million was high.
Everyone in the venue knew.
If Han Chen hadn't caused this scene today, the price of the Yin-Yang Mirror would probably have already broken three hundred million.
It was even possible it could have headed towards four hundred million.
After all, the major players who bid later were all very wealthy.
And now, the Yin-Yang Mirror had only reached two hundred and fifty million and was at the final stage.
At this moment, almost everyone in the venue turned their gaze to the remaining two major players.
Even Ye Weicai and Tang Hongye cast their eyes on those two.
Ye Weicai was waiting.
After one of these two withdrew, he would launch his decisive move.
And then directly take the Yin-Yang Mirror into his possession.
Time slowly passed.
After those two made three more rounds of bidding, one of them finally couldn't resist and withdrew.
However, the price of the Yin-Yang Mirror did not increase much from before.
It only increased by ten million, reaching two hundred and sixty million.
"Thank you all." The last major player stood up and cupped his fists in thanks to everyone in the venue who had bid against him.
Although he vaguely felt that the Yin-Yang Mirror was a bit off.
But at this point, he had to bid even if he didn't want to.
And he did indeed like the Yin-Yang Mirror quite a bit.
However.
Just as he was cupping his fists in thanks, believing the Yin-Yang Mirror was about to be his.
Ye Weicai spoke.
"I bid three hundred million."
As soon as Ye Weicai said this, the entire venue fell silent.
The next second, the entire venue erupted.
The previously somewhat listless venue instantly became very lively.
Everyone looked at Ye Weicai with astonishment, marveling at his dominance.
Ye Weicai heard the praise and smiled proudly.
At the same time, the boss was completely stunned.
He hadn't expected that at this final moment.
Ye Weicai would make a move.
He looked at Ye Weicai, feeling a bit angry and helpless.
Although he could compete with Ye Weicai.
Doing so might severely damage his finances, while Ye Weicai might not necessarily be affected.
Therefore, after a brief consideration, he shook his head and finally gave up.
"Three hundred million for the first time!"
"Three hundred million for the second time!"
"Three hundred million for the third time!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye!"
As the cheongsam-clad woman's voice fell, the entire venue erupted in applause.
Everyone was celebrating Ye Weicai's acquisition of the Yin-Yang Mirror, today's highlight item.
Ye Weicai smiled slightly and then sat down very discreetly.
Han Chen and Song Ming, who were watching all this,
They were originally furious, but when they saw that the Yin-Yang Mirror, which had been disguised and used to trick people, was bought by Ye Weicai, they couldn't help but laugh.
Although they didn't have any major grudges against Ye Weicai.
There were frequent business frictions between them in their daily lives.
Now, seeing Ye Weicai suffer such a loss, both Han Chen and Song Ming couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Three hundred million.
Even for them.
It was not a small sum.
"Old Han, do you think that idiot Ye Weicai will go crazy when he finds out he spent three hundred million on a piece of junk?" Song Ming asked Han Chen with a laugh.
"With his petty nature, he won't just go crazy, he'll probably want to kill himself," Han Chen replied with a chuckle.
"Haha, indeed."
Just as Han Chen and Song Ming were laughing uncontrollably, Ye Weicai happened to look over.
He had intended to provoke Han Chen, Song Ming, and Lin Hao, as he had secured the Yin-Yang Mirror, today's final auction item.
