130 Little Friend Ye, We Meet Again
As expected, there were many people who were interested in the treasure map.
It was impossible to collect all six pieces of the treasure map.
However, there were always people who felt that they had the aura of a protagonist and could do things that others couldn’t.
As a result, the price of the treasure map fragment quickly rose to 1 million.
Ye Feng was determined to get this treasure map.
The upper limit he set for himself was 10 million.
As long as the price did not exceed this price, it was within his acceptable range.
Just as he was about to bid…
Li Hongyi, who had been secretly observing him from the side, immediately took the lead.
“2 million!”
He had already made up his mind to scam Ye Feng. Thus, he raised the price by two times.
Then, he revealed a provocative smile. “With me around, don’t even think about getting an item tonight.”
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
This b*stard wanted to fight him to the death.
If he continued to bid, he would fall right into the other party’s trap.
Even if he could get it in the end, he would probably have to spend a lot of money.
Although he really wanted the treasure map fragment, he didn’t want to be a spendthrift.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard an old man’s voice from the second floor.
“2.1 million.”
For some unknown reason, the people who were originally eager to bid all stopped after hearing the old man’s bid.
They all looked toward the second floor with an extremely respectful expression.
Even Li Hongyi’s expression changed drastically.
He no longer had the frivolous look from before and was now trembling with fear.
When Ye Feng saw everyone’s expressions, he could not help but feel a little strange.
Who was this bidder?
It could actually make everyone’s expression change?
And he seemed to have heard this voice before, but he could not recall where he heard it from.
At this moment, the auctioneer had already started the final bid.
“2.1 million going once.”
“2.1 million twice.”
“2.13 million…”
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled.
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from the corner behind them. “2.2 million.”
The voice was not loud, but it struck everyone present as if they were struck by lightning.
That highly respected big shot had already made a bid, and there were still people who dared to continue bidding?
This was simply courting death!
Everyone turned around to see who was the one who was not afraid of death.
Then, they saw Ye Feng raising his hand with an innocent expression.
He didn’t have that many concerns. Since no one else was bidding, there shouldn’t be a problem for him to continue bidding, right?
Xu Jingxin’s pretty face also changed at this time, and she hurriedly pulled his sleeve.
“Are you crazy? Why do you still dare to bid?”
Ye Feng looked at her in confusion. “The auctioneer hasn’t put down the gavel yet. Why can’t I bid?”
Xu Jingxin hurriedly held her forehead. “Don’t you know that it was Elder Tan who quoted the price just now?”
Ye Feng pursed his lips indifferently. “What Elder Tan and Young Tan. Since it is an auction, everyone has the right to bid. Otherwise, what is the point of the auction? Why don’t we just give it to him directly?”
Xu Jingxin was completely speechless.
Even though that was the logic, it still depended on who he was reasoning with.
With a big shot at Elder Tan’s level, what did it matter how reasonable he was?
Truly, the ignorant are fearless!
Li Hongyi, on the other hand, laughed gloatingly. “Brat, you even dared to rob something that Elder Tan has his eyes on. You won’t even know how you died this time.”
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jingxin hurriedly. “Pretty lady, this kid has offended Elder Tan. I don’t think he’ll live past tomorrow. You’d better quickly cut off all ties with him.”
Xu Jingxin glared at him and did not say anything more.
She had already begun to think in her heart.
Should she call someone she knew to help Ye Feng?
This guy had made a huge mess this time. If the weight of the acquaintance was not heavy enough, he might not be able to settle it.
Just as everyone was waiting for the person on the second floor to fly into a rage…
A strange scene appeared.
After Ye Feng made his bid, there was no more movement on the second floor.
The auctioneer waited for a long time and saw that no one was bidding, so he could only speak carefully.
“2.2 million going once!”
No one bid.
“2.2 million twice.”
Still, no one bid.
2.2 million thrice… Deal!”
Even when the auctioneer finally struck the gavel, no one was bidding.
The treasure map fragment that could have exceeded 10 million was bought by Ye Feng at the ‘cheap price’ of 2.2 million just like that.
This was something that no one had expected.
What really puzzled them was why there was no movement from Elder Tan’s side.
Logically speaking, that brat had publicly disrespected him, so he should not have let him off so easily.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded…
They saw an old man in a white Tang suit walking down the stairs slowly with the help of his men.
The imposing manner in his movements made everyone present feel a sense of awe.
And when Ye Feng saw the old man, he was stunned.
This old man… He actually recognized him.
It was Tan Bohong, who lived in Villa No. 3 of the Zhongtian Lake-View Villa District.
He happened to find the wedding ring for the other party at that time, so they could be considered friends.
Later on, when Xia Qiu was filming a movie, the script did not pass the review.
It was he who gave them the green light through Tan Bohong’s connections.
No wonder Ye Feng felt that this voice was very familiar.
As Tan Bohong walked down the stairs, the people nearby consciously made way for him with respectful expressions on their faces.
From this, it could be seen how high Elder Tan’s prestige was in Zhonghai City.
But just when everyone thought that he was going to find trouble with Ye Feng, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his originally calm and dignified face.
“Little Friend Ye, we meet again.”
As soon as he said that, the entire auction house was in an uproar.
This guy actually knew Elder Tan?
Furthermore, it was Elder Tan who took the initiative to greet him?
Wasn’t this too big of a reputation?
Li Hongyi, who was standing next to Ye Feng, knelt down on the ground with a ‘plop’.
His face was ashen.
If he had known that Ye Feng knew Elder Tan, he would not have dared to go against him even if he had 100 guts.
This time… He was dead!
