"This, how is this possible?!" Wu Guangxiao stared at the scene before him in shock.
If it were one or two people, Chen Mo orchestrating it himself might be a strong possibility. But with so many people stepping forward, and the bidding price reaching a hundred million yuan! Even he might not be able to come up with it all at once.
Therefore, Wu Guangxiao knew that the people bidding were definitely not people Chen Mo could have found.
However, he also couldn't believe that what he was seeing was real!
A piece of paper worth a hundred million yuan, how on earth was that possible!
Chen Mo nodded at Wu Zongcheng, then his gaze fell back on Wu Guangxiao: "Old man, don't forget what you just said. If someone buys my calligraphy, you will donate a hundred million. At your age, if you go back on your word, you'll be cursed to have no descendants."
"You scoundrel! How dare you insult me!" Wu Guangxiao's face suddenly turned cold.
Chen Mo shrugged: "I didn't insult you. I'm saying, if you go back on your word, do you really want to have no descendants, old man?"
Wu Guangxiao had already noticed that all eyes in the venue were on him.
In those gazes, there was disdain and amusement.
Wu Guangxiao had never suffered such humiliation. His face was terrifyingly grim as he pointed at Wu Zongcheng beside him and said, "Who knows if he's a stooge you hired? If you have the guts, make him pay the hundred million on the spot. If he can produce it, I'll donate the hundred million!"
How could the old fox, Wu Zongcheng, not see the conflict between Wu Guangxiao and Chen Mo?
A smile curved his lips as he beckoned to a staff member.
Soon, a staff member hurried over.
Wu Zongcheng took a check from his pocket, wrote a sum of one hundred million yuan on it, and handed it to the other person: "This is a one-hundred-million-yuan cashiers check. You can contact the bank to confirm it now."
"Yes, Mr. Wu, we'll confirm it right away." The staff member nodded quickly.
After only a few minutes, the staff member hung up the phone and bowed respectfully to Wu Zongcheng: "Mr. Wu, thank you for your kindness to disabled children. This check is valid."
Valid?!
Wu Guangxiao's face was indescribably unpleasant.
It was worse than eating ten pounds of rat droppings.
He had saved some money over the years, but it was impossible for him to come up with a hundred million yuan at once.
Wu Guangxiao glared at Chen Mo: "Kid, you're playing me!"
How could he not see that Chen Mo had bet with him earlier, certain that he would lose!
Chen Mo smiled: "Old fellow, what are you talking about? You were the one who was disrespectful, the one who wanted to show off in front of my woman, the one who wanted to belittle me in front of my woman, and the one who wanted to make the bet in the end. Now you're saying I'm playing you? Old geezer, are you out of your mind?"
Wu Guangxiao's face turned green.
Especially the strange looks from the people around him, who almost treated him like a lunatic!
"If you admit you're an idiot trash, or say you're mentally ill, then we won't pursue this hundred million. After all, there's no need for us to argue with an old man who's mentally unwell, is there?"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Pan Xiong gave Chen Mo a thumbs-up: "Mr. Chen is truly magnanimous, not bickering with such a petty person."
Ge Hua frowned slightly and glanced at Pan Xiong, feeling that the latter was even better at flattery than himself.
Unwilling to be outdone, he chimed in: "Mr. Chen's heart is filled with great love; he is a model for our generation."
Wu Guangxiao, hearing this, was almost spitting blood from anger!
As a dignified martial artist and a guest of the Long family, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!
"I'll give the hundred million!" Wu Guangxiao said through gritted teeth.
A stir!
The venue erupted in another uproar.
Everyone stared at Wu Guangxiao, dumbfounded, and many were speculating about Wu Guangxiao's identity.
After all, not many people in the entire Jiangbei could casually donate a hundred million yuan.
Chen Mo smiled: "Alright, on behalf of those disabled children, I thank you for your generous assistance, sir."
Wu Guangxiao's face was somber. He glared deeply at Chen Mo, as if trying to imprint Chen Mo's image in his mind.
"Kid, don't celebrate too early. You'll regret what happened today sooner or later!"
Facing Wu Guangxiao's threat, Chen Mo acted as if he hadn't heard it. Instead, he turned to the staff member: "This gentleman is donating a hundred million, why aren't you quickly collecting the money?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The staff member nodded quickly and hurried to Wu Guangxiao's side.
Wu Guangxiao's old face flushed: "Uh, I'll give it to you after the auction ends."
After all, he didn't have that much cash on him right now.
Moreover, he planned to use his Long family status to suppress them after the event, so he wouldn't have to pay the hundred million.
This way, he would save face and not have to pay, a win-win situation.
However, Chen Mo would never give him such an opportunity.
Chen Mo smiled mockingly: "Sir, are you perhaps unable to produce it, or do you intend to renege on your debt? Or perhaps, you know some influential person and want to use their status to suppress the charity foundation and then not pay this money?"
Wu Guangxiao's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Chen Mo to know what he was thinking!
Seeing the change in Wu Guangxiao's expression, Chen Mo's lips curved upwards.
After all, he knew Wu Guangxiao's identity, so he could guess what the other party was thinking.
Chen Mo said: "Therefore, sir, I advise you not to have that idea. Either admit that you are mentally ill and a lunatic, and get out of here quickly, or produce the money."
Wu Guangxiao's fists were clenched tightly.
Chen Mo was also waiting, waiting for the other party to make a move.
Given his anger and the other party's underestimation, Chen Mo was confident that as soon as the other party attacked, he could end their life with a single move!
However, Wu Guangxiao did not attack. He took a deep breath, calming himself down.
He understood that his purpose in coming to Jiangbei Longhua this time was to help Long Zecheng accomplish something important.
At this moment, he definitely could not act in front of everyone. If it caused trouble, it would surely attract the attention of Long Zecheng's rivals.
Wu Guangxiao said, almost through gritted teeth: "I am mentally ill, I have a problem with my brain, alright!"
"You don't have money? Why are you acting like a big shot if you don't have money?! Really, delaying everyone's time!"
"Exactly, showing off without money, what a lunatic!"
"Didn't you hear him? He already said he's a lunatic."
For a moment, sarcastic whispers and discussions filled the air.
Wu Guangxiao's old face turned extremely dark.
Not intending to stay there any longer, Wu Guangxiao turned and walked towards the exit.
"Alright, everyone, let's continue. Don't let this shameless lunatic spoil everyone's mood for bidding," Chen Mo said.
As Wu Guangxiao reached the doorway, he heard Chen Mo's voice and clenched his fist.
