Chapter 35: The mysterious man
Chapter 35:
The auction of the mysterious man is tonight. Without further ado, Shen Chutang is thinking about how to find an excuse to sneak out without being discovered by Lu Beiqin.
After all, her current identity is just the eldest lady of the Shen family. If she rashly goes to the black market to auction items, she will definitely be suspected.
Unexpectedly, Lu Beiqin sent a message saying that his boss was coming back from a business trip tonight and he needed to be at the airport to pick him up, so he was not sure about his return.
Shen Chutang replied to the message, saying that he understood, and then came to the place mentioned on the phone.
This is a black market auction, and there is a mixed crowd here. Many things that cannot be auctioned on the open market can often be seen here.
It is precisely because of this that there is a rule for the auction here. Everyone who comes here will wear a black cloak and a mask to hide their identity.
Shen Chutang pulled down the black hood of his hat a little, revealing only a section of his delicate white chin.
She randomly found a seat in a corner and waited silently for the auction to begin.
Shen Chutang was not interested in many of the items auctioned on the black market, and some were even fished out of ancient tombs. However, Shen Chutang had not cared about these antiques since he was a child.
Finally, the hibiscus secret fruit was served.
The so-called hibiscus secret fruit is actually not a fruit, but a herb that grows in an extremely hot place under the right time and place. After it withered, it happened to be stained with resin, and finally petrified into something similar to amber.
This herb itself is rare, and it must be dyed with resin. These conditions are very harsh, so it is generally difficult to find.
The starting bid for this thing was 300,000. Shen Chutang raised the sign in his hand without hesitation, "500,000."
"1 million."
"1.2 million."
"1.5 million! "
The price of the Hibiscus Secret Fruit has quickly gone up. For the rich, this thing may be just a decoration, but Shen Chutang wants to use it to save people, and he can't care about that much at this time. "Two million!"
"Three million."
Suddenly, a cold voice spoke and shouted a high price.
Shen Chutang instantly felt sorry for his wallet, "Three and a half million!"
"Five million."
For a moment, everyone present looked at the man behind him.
But the other party was also wearing a black cloak and a mask, so it was impossible to tell who the other party was.
After Shen Chutang came down from the mountain, she didn't have much money with her. After buying a villa in Xishan, she became poor. Now Lu Beiqin's income was less than 10,000 yuan a month, and her brother-in-law was still living in the hospital, so she had to save money.
Sure enough, she became poor after getting married, and now she doesn't have that much cash on hand to squander.
"Five million once! Five million twice! Five million three times, deal!"
Seeing the hibiscus secret fruit being photographed away, Shen Chutang kept staring at the other party, and after the man got the photographed thing , got up and left directly, seemingly not interested in other things at all.
Shen Chutang hurriedly chased after her, lowering her voice deliberately, "Sir, how about I buy your secret hibiscus fruit for five million?"
But the man strode away without even looking at her.
Then don't blame her for turning against others!
Lu Yuebai is still waiting for the hibiscus secret fruit to save his life!
Shen Chutang stretched out his hand directly towards the Lotus Secret Fruit, making it clear that he wanted to grab it, but the man was very fast and dodged sideways.
Shen Chutang stepped forward again, with a smile in his voice, "Handsome man, don't be so merciless. I really need this life-saving thing. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait."
The man's voice was still as cold as ice, "No."
The other party was also a trained man with great strength. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder and pressed it directly against the wall. "I won't be polite if you come again."
Shen Chutang raised his foot and struck towards his face. , taking advantage of the opponent to retreat, he raised his hand and gave another uppercut. The man ducked sideways and grabbed her shoulder again. Shen Chutang quickly broke away, but the black robe was torn off.
The man turned sideways and raised his hand quickly. Shen Chutang felt a gust of wind flash past her face, and the mask on her face was blown away. She took two steps back unsteadily, and there were steps behind her. She was about to fall down with her head. .
