246: Chapter 235 Threat 246: Chapter 235 Threat “Sir, we have received your payment, and we hope you will find interest in the upcoming items,” the server bowed to Song Yun and quickly left; the scene inside this private room was too eerie, with so many national beauties eyeing the blue diamond on his plate.
If they pounced to grab it, he wondered whether he should protect the diamond or take advantage of the situation.
When the blue diamond was placed on the display stand, it was dazzling and no other word could describe its charm, but when it was presented before the ladies, they realized how foolish it was to give up this gem, as its blue radiance was too enticing, making one unable to resist looking at it.
“Come here, let me put it on for you.” Song Yun, a doughboy, came up behind Li Shishi with the necklace, his fingers rubbing incessantly on the soft flesh of her neck, uh, that touch was simply indescribable.
“Hurry up,” Li Shishi shouted with a flushed face, not sure why her body was so sensitive.
She shivered when Song Yun’s fingers just touched her skin.
Song Yun now felt like his back was being watched by many pairs of eyes.
He swallowed and quickly helped Li Shishi put on the necklace, then sat down on the sofa, pretending to be a gentleman.
After taking a sip of wine to calm his nerves, Song Yun turned back to size up Li Shishi.
Only then did he understand why so many women loved jewelry.
The blue diamond, named “Hope,” exuded a sense of elegance and luxury.
Paired with Li Shishi’s fair skin, it elevated her entire presence, taking her to a different level.
If Song Yun had rated Li Shishi a nine before, now with this blue diamond, she was off the charts.
“It looks beautiful,” Song Yun said dumbfoundedly.
“It’s alright,” Li Shishi said with a smile, turning a circle in front of Song Yun.
“Yeah, rounded and perky, like a peak too high for my kind to climb,” Song Yun chuckled, which earned him a beating from Li Shishi.
Even though the diamond was in his hands now, couldn’t he play it cool?
She had just lost so much money, and he couldn’t even comfort her a little, her young spirit.
Really, I don’t know why women these days can’t take a little teasing.
“Brother Yun, you’re such a tycoon.
I had thought you were worth a few tens of millions at most, but who knew you could casually pull out millions like that,” Mao Shan remarked seriously to Song Yun.
“How could that be?
The mercenary group pays me millions every month, not to mention I control the finances.
Moving some money around is nothing to me,” Song Yun boasted proudly.
“Millions?” Mao Shan gaped in shock for a while before saying, “Damn, is making money that easy now?
Brother Yun, if I start a team, could I also rake in millions a month?”
“Hahaha, you better think it through.
This money is earnt at the risk of one’s life.
You think it’s easy to earn?”
Most items sold for a few hundred thousand to a million, and there were no more grand displays of wealth.
Song Yun managed to win some nice items for Qingluan and Xiao Qing to give as gifts.
The auction was nearing its end, with the last item on stage being a pair of earrings, said to have been worn by a foreign queen, starting at fifty thousand, with each bid increase requiring five thousand.
Song Yun noticed Ye Mei’s pierced ears and easily won the earrings for seventy thousand.
“These earrings suit you,” Song Yun said with a smile as he handed the earring box to Xiao Qing.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Song,” Xiao Qing blushed and didn’t refuse, putting them on right there.
“Now our auction is completely over, but there’s a little interlude for the gentlemen, and that’s the company of a few ladies for the night.
Is anyone interested?” The host smiled, clapped his hands, and five or six women wearing various outfits walked up, flirting with the men seated below.
Song Yun was tempted to bid, but then he saw the woman serving their private room and wondered if he was squandering a treasure.
To leave what he had for those women below seemed unwise.
Even so, Song Yun didn’t dare do anything inappropriate.
He had three national beauties in his private room, and he couldn’t afford the consequences if they found out.
After a round of bidding, the auction ended.
Song Yun left with the ladies and upon exiting, he saw a group of people standing outside Room 5.
As they appeared, a man pointed at Song Yun’s back and shouted, “You, kid, come here.”
Song Yun turned around and recognized the familiar face.
“Are you talking to me?” he asked with a smile.
“Who else but you?
I just want to ask if it was you who kept bidding against me for the wine and the necklace?” Tian Qi squinted at Song Yun as if he wanted to skin and swallow him alive.
“Yeah, those were the few items I fancied at the auction,” Song Yun shrugged.
“Didn’t expect to compete directly with you.
What, only you are allowed to bid and not me?”
“Cut the crap.
If you’re smart, hand over those two items, and I might consider giving you some money as compensation,” Tian Qi said boldly, confident that Song Yun wouldn’t dare make a move in such a place.
Even if a fight broke out, his bodyguards, all former special forces from the military, were no pushovers.
“Sorry, the wine’s already consumed, and the necklace was given away,” Song Yun responded with a gleeful smile.
“Tian Qi, oh Tian Qi, you’ve got some nerve.
That shout about your dad being Tian Dongcheng was so loud earlier, don’t you know how Dong Linze ended up?
How much salary can your father, a civil servant, possibly earn in a month?
And there you were, boldly bidding millions in front of so many people.
I must say, you’re an idiot.”
“Whether I’m an idiot or not, I’m not sure, but I know you’ll soon be the idiot,” Tian Qi laughed angrily.
“Beat them fiercely, don’t let any escape, damn it.
You bastards dare compete for what I want?
Do you even know how many eyes Lord Ma has?”
