Supernatural Insight Eyes

The Dugu family tree was bought by Huo’s father, and Ye Qiu no longer worried about it being bought by others.

The piece on his mind was now his own jade stone rough.

The appearance of this top-quality rough jade attracted many in the auction room to rise from their seats, as such colored jade was extremely rare, especially in such a large piece.

The host described the characteristics of the jade rough in detail, captivating the attention of everyone present.

As the finale item, the starting bid was far higher than the previous items, starting at thirty million!

Moreover, this rough also came with an expert appraisal certificate, which attested to its high quality beyond any doubt.

Thirty million did not deter many people, and as soon as the auction started, someone raised their bid.

Wang Kun had some interest in this jade rough, but the starting bid of thirty million made him hesitate. Seeing Ye Qiu sitting there motionless, he lost the urge to participate.

Huo Qian sat in his seat, watching people around him bid for the jade rough, a slight smile appeared on his face, as the stone had already far surpassed the price he had paid for it.

The bidding price quickly rose to seventy million!

Some people gave up, while others continued to bid.

Before long, the price soared to ninety million, igniting a climax at the scene, hardly anyone could continue to compete at this price.

"One hundred million!" Just then, a calm voice rang out, attracting many glances, as the voice sounded quite young.

Ye Qiu maintained an unflinching gaze, his expression calm and composed, giving off an aura of serenity and poise.

"Oh, I didn’t expect a young friend to share my love for jade. However, this piece is the finest I have ever seen, I must have it," said an elderly man after glancing at Ye Qiu, unable to gauge his depth, murmuring to himself before bidding again.

To others, Ye Qiu’s action was surprising, but to Wang Kun it was an overt provocation, especially since Ye Qiu seemed completely indifferent to him.

Wang Kun was grinding his teeth, this youngster actually dared to bid one hundred million—honestly, the bid shocked Wang Kun, even he would find it difficult to come up with that much.

"Young Master Kun, are you interested in this jade?" A playboy nearby asked.

"I just don’t want it to be taken by certain people," Wang Kun said coldly.

The playboy laughed, "This jade rough is indeed extremely rare, truly the best among jades. It’s no surprise it fetched such a price. If Young Master Kun likes it, it’s worth buying as its future appreciation potential is also significant."

"Young Master Kun, don’t want that person to steal the limelight?" the playboy hinted, nodding towards where Ye Qiu was seated.

Wang Kun didn’t hide his feelings, "Exactly, I simply dislike him. However, this jade rough is expensive, and I can’t come up with that much money at the moment."

"Hehe, if Young Master Kun is facing difficulties, I can help out," the playboy offered.

"Oh? What’s the condition?"

"Young Master Kun, why talk of conditions? Money is just a trivial matter, but I do have a favor to ask of you in return."

"Alright, let’s talk about it later. I’ll secure this rough first," Wang Kun immediately felt confident with the assistance of this playboy; his access to a hundred million was guaranteed.

One hundred and thirty million!

One hundred and fifty million!

The bidding price was still climbing. Ye Qiu’s frequent bids drew the interested glances of many women at the venue, all curious about this lavish young man.

Seeing Ye Qiu garnering everyone’s attention, Wang Kun couldn’t contain his frustration. Why should this youngster steal the limelight when he himself should be the focal point?

Wang Kun clenched his teeth and raised his placard immediately, shifting the focus from Ye Qiu back to him.

One hundred and sixty million! Wang Kun raised the bid by another ten million.

At this point, Ye Qiu’s eyes showed a trace of cunning—Wang Kun had finally fallen into the trap.

The reason he dared to bid freely was because this jade rough was owned by him and Huo Qian themselves. Regardless of the bidding price, the money would ultimately go to the two of them, and there was no need to pay the auction house, meaning the auction of this rough only concerned the interests of Ye Qiu and Huo Qian, irrelevant to anyone else.

Even if Ye Qiu ended up buying it himself, it was merely a procedural matter—he did not need to pay, and the rough would still be his own.

Since Wang Kun had taken the bait, Ye Qiu was not about to let him off easily; he was determined to thoroughly trap him in his scheme.

Ye Qiu deliberately glanced at Wang Kun, and their eyes clashed for a moment before Ye Qiu raised the bidding by another ten million to one hundred and seventy million.

Unwilling to show weakness, previously Wang Kun had given face to Huo’s father by not competing for the family tree, and since it didn’t end up with Ye Qiu, that was why he gave up.

But this time, facing Ye Qiu’s provocative gaze, Wang Kun’s temper would not allow him to back down now.

He raised his bid by another ten million.

One hundred and eighty million!

One hundred and ninety million!

Two hundred million!

The bidding had reached a frightening level, hitting two hundred million. Those originally participating in the auction couldn’t help but consider whether to continue bidding; it was no small amount.

Wang Kun looked at Ye Qiu triumphantly, and seeing Ye Qiu frowning there, Wang Kun showed a look of pride. Even the sullen mood from borrowing a billion from a wealthy young man next to him was diluted by Ye Qiu’s expression.

Seeing Ye Qiu upset made him feel great!

The previous jade enthusiasts also put down their paddles at this moment and didn’t continue to bid higher, clearly indicating that the price had reached their limit of affordability.

Wang Kun threw a challenging look at Ye Qiu, his eyes brimming with disdain. Under Wang Kun’s gaze, Ye Qiu’s tight frown suddenly relaxed, and he even smiled at Wang Kun.

Ye Qiu’s sudden smile baffled Wang Kun.

Why is he smiling at me?

Wang Kun didn’t understand and couldn’t figure it out.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, you have won the jade stone king." At that moment, the host’s voice rang out, and the jade raw stone was struck down by Wang Kun for two hundred million.

While Wang Kun was still dazed, the jade raw stone became his.

The moment Wang Kun won the grand finale item of the night, he immediately became the center of attention, with many people coming over to congratulate him.

Huo Qian watched as Wang Kun was surrounded by people and said indifferently, "Wasn’t that a bit too much, Ye? If he finds out, he will definitely hate you and me to death."

"Do you care?" Ye Qiu chuckled.

Huo Qian laughed heartily, "Of course not, just thinking about Wang Kun spending two hundred million makes me want to laugh."

"Then laugh out loud."

Wang Kun, reveling in the various glances thrown his way, some admiring, some jealous, felt extremely pleased, especially seeing Ye Qiu and Huo Qian leaving their seats in low spirits; his mood lifted even further.

Not long after, the auction house staff asked Wang Kun to settle the two hundred million, and Wang Kun, with the wealthy young man in tow, went to the back of the auction house.

After transferring out the two hundred million, Wang Kun’s gaze settled on the jade raw stone.

"Congratulations, sir. This jade is a top-notch imperial quality that perfectly matches your stature," said the staff lady, smiling sweetly.

Wang Kun thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary words. Touching the jade raw stone, he said, "A fine sword matches a hero, and fine jade matches a gentleman. I, Wang Kun, shall also be a gentleman, haha..."

"I wonder who owned this jade raw stone?" asked the wealthy young man by his side.

"Sir, the owner of this jade just left recently. If you want to meet him, you might still catch up with him."

"Oh?" Wang Kun’s eyes flickered; he was curious to see who had sold the raw stone.

"The owner of the raw stone is two young men, just left, one wearing gray and the other in blue."

With this news, Wang Kun and the wealthy young man quickly rushed out, leaving the jade raw stone to be collected later.

The two ran out of the corridor and saw the two men described by the female staff member. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

And then, Wang Kun was suddenly stunned.

They...

Ye Qiu and Huo Qian, weren’t they wearing gray and blue clothes?

Could they be the owners of the jade raw stone?

Wang Kun’s face darkened in an instant, thinking back to Ye Qiu’s suddenly mysterious smile, he now understood how great an irony that smile was. Clearly, they had played him thoroughly, and he was completely oblivious to it until now.

At that moment, Wang Kun’s expression was as terrible as if he had swallowed a dead fly, and his aura suddenly turned cold. The wealthy young man standing by, seeing Wang Kun’s expression, didn’t know how to console him, fearing that any comfort might further anger Wang Kun.

Considering that the two hundred million Wang Kun paid had all gone to Ye Qiu, whom he despised, his rage was understandable.

Indeed, the torments of frustration and fury in Wang Kun’s heart could set ablaze. His fingers clenched tightly, his fingernails almost piercing into his flesh, and his knuckles popped while his eyes blazed with hate and anger.
