Chapter 149 - Nether Fire Lotus Platform!

The last item was a lotus platform.

However, the lotus platform looked as if it had been scorched by fire, pitch-black and dull.

“What is this thing?”

Inside the main hall on the first floor, many people showed expressions of confusion.

Generally, the last item in an auction was a treasured object.

But this thing didn’t look like a treasure at all.

“Mr.

Jiang, please give us an introduction.”

“Yes, what exactly is this thing?”

Jiang Rong replied with a smile, “Ladies and gentlemen, this item comes without an introduction, we’re just looking for the person fated to have it.”

Jiang Rong’s words left the crowd stupefied.

What kind of statement was that?

Was there such an operation in an auction?

As the crowd pondered, Jiang Rong already announced the starting price.

“This item, the starting bid is eighty million.”

“For this piece of junk, it’s eighty million?”

“Exactly, what’s the Bamboo Pavilion up to?

Are they playing with us?”

The people on the first floor grumbled amongst themselves.

But at that moment, a voice came from the second floor.

“One hundred million!”

That sentence silenced everyone on the first floor.

The crowd looked up in shock, trying to spot the bidder.

But just then, a string of bids erupted one after another.

“One hundred and fifty million!”

“Two hundred million!”

“Two hundred and thirty million!”

The price of the black lotus platform soared as if it was on a plane, rising rapidly.

All the bidders were from the private rooms on the second floor.

In private room number 8, both Li Shuangshuang and Li De’an were stupefied.

Because the bid of two hundred and thirty million had been called out by Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, have you lost your mind?

Do you even know what this thing is?

You’re bidding so high?”

Zhou Yu was just about to explain when Song Zhongcheng from private room number 4 made his bid.

“Three hundred million!”

He let out a sneer.

“That kid wants this thing; I’ll make sure he doesn’t get his wish,” he muttered.

“I’ll tell you later.”

Zhou Yu didn’t have time to explain as he placed another bid.

“Four hundred million!”

Song Zhongcheng sneered disdainfully, “Five hundred million!”

Zhou Yu and Song Zhongcheng, raising the stakes by hundreds of millions at a time, quickly drove off the other bidders, leaving only the two of them in competition.

Song Zhongcheng sneered.

“You want it?

Then outbid me if you can!

I want to see just how much money you have!”

Zhou Yu was about to raise the bid when Li Shuangshuang hurriedly stopped him.

“Zhou Yu, don’t you see that private room number 4 is doing this on purpose?

It’s because we’ve offended them just now.”

“Let’s give up.”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

“Six hundred million, I’m going to secure this thing.”

Zhou Yu deliberately spoke these words close to the microphone, and his voice was heard throughout the entire auction hall.

After hearing this, Song Zhongcheng sneered.

“You want it?

Dream on!”

“Seven hundred million!”

At this, everyone turned their attention to private room number 8.

However, Zhou Yu suddenly said:

“Only a fool would spend so much money on this piece of junk, I give up.”

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

The next moment, the crowd couldn’t help but sneer.

Inside private room number 4, Song Zhongcheng’s face paused, then turned extremely ugly.

In full view of everyone, he had been played by Zhou Yu.

This was a huge loss of face.

His face was filled with suppressed rage.

“Fine, fine, kid, you dare to play me?

Wait and see, I’m going to make your death very ugly.”

In private room number 8, Li Shuangshuang looked on in shock.

“Zhou Yu, you were bidding like crazy just to screw over that Song Zhongcheng?

Aren’t you too bold?

What if he hadn’t fallen for it?”

Zhou Yu simply smiled.

“Actually, I really wanted that thing.

But with that guy making trouble all the time, I had no choice.”

Li De’an looked puzzled.

“Zhou Yu, what exactly is that thing?”

Zhou Yu replied with some regret, “This item is called the Nether Fire Lotus Platform, an item used for cultivating True Qi.

It’s a good thing; too bad.”

As the Nether Fire Lotus Platform was bought by Song Zhongcheng, the auction came to an end.

At the top floor of the hotel, Jiang Rong entered a luxurious room.

Standing at the bedroom door, Jiang Rong bowed and said:

“Miss, the Nether Fire Lotus Platform has been sold.”

“Oh?

Who bought it?”

“It’s…

Song Zhongcheng!”

“However, he only bought it because he was being played by a youngster with Li De’an and had no choice.”

“Being played?”

Jiang Rong uttered a bitter laugh.

“Yes.”

“However, there were also two other people who bid, but they gave up after two attempts.

We don’t yet know if they are aware of how to use the Nether Fire Lotus Platform.”

After a moment of silence, the voice from the bedroom spoke again.

“Retrieve the Nether Fire Lotus Platform and clear up the backgrounds of those two individuals, determine whether they know how to use the Nether Fire Lotus Platform.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Jiang Rong turned and left.

After the auction had ended, Zhou Yu promptly rode in Li Shuangshuang’s BMW with Li De’an back to Yancheng.

The car swiftly left the city.

But just when they had, four Audi cars raced up from behind Li Shuangshuang’s vehicle, quickly overtaking them.

The four cars then lined up and slammed on the brakes, forcibly stopping Li Shuangshuang’s car.

Li Shuangshuang, with fury on her face, was about to roll down the window and lash out, but then she saw the doors of the Audi in front open and a large group of people getting out.

Li Shuangshuang’s face changed.

“Hai Yuanhang!!!”
