Fortunately, both of them were wearing casual clothes. If they were wearing formal clothes, they would probably have given up struggling on the road before even reaching the auction site.

Look at the building in front of you.

Except for the bright spot where the plaque is located, the rest is shrouded in darkness. A strange sense of mystery arises, making people afraid to move forward.

There was no light anywhere around.

The eerie atmosphere is matched with just the right amount of chill.

The sense of horror was instantly overwhelming.

Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but shiver beside Su Li. She held Su Li's arm for warmth and muttered softly, "Is this it? It doesn't look like a proper venue at all."

Su Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the building in front of her until someone pushed the door open.

"Mu Zheyan?" Lu Shuangshuang called out softly.

Su Li also saw Mu Zheyan, but he didn't seem to notice them. He just turned left and disappeared.

If Mu Zheyan is here, the auction must be held here.

"Let's go in." Su Li said.

Lu Shuangshuang pointed doubtfully at the corner where Mu Zheyan had disappeared. "Why don't we follow him and see?"

"It's pitch dark, are you sure?" Su Li tilted her head to indicate.

Lu Shuangshuang glanced at that place and immediately shook her head: "Forget it."

The moment Su Li was about to take a step, a picture suddenly flashed before her eyes.

The picture at this moment is particularly clear.

Perhaps it was because of the flashing image, but after waiting for the entire image to be presented, Su Li saw darkness everywhere he looked, causing his step on the stairs to get stuck and he almost tripped. Fortunately, Lu Shuangshuang pulled him in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.

"What's wrong!"

After a brief period of blindness, Su Li's vision returned to normal.

How come the picture prediction this time is so clear?

"It's okay, I just tripped accidentally." Su Li replied to Lu Shuangshuang in time, and then fell into deep thought.

The moment the door opened, there were two waiters standing at the door, both holding trays in their hands, but the items on the trays were very different.

On one side are the masks that need to be worn to enter.

On one hand, items need to be donated for auction.

"Ladies, please choose the masks you want to wear and the items you want to donate," a waiter prompted.

Even donations are needed.

Su Li and Lu Shuangshuang looked at each other in tacit understanding for a second.

After the two of them took out a piece of jewelry from their bodies and handed it over, they went in.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that I needed to donate items to enter the auction?" Lu Shuangshuang complained, "I didn't prepare at all!"

"I didn't expect that either." Su Li put on the mask and chuckled, "Fortunately, I brought a pair of earrings with me when I went out."

"I handed in the bracelet I bought at the affordable luxury store last week."

"You're so willing to do that." Su Li teased.

Lu Shuangshuang bumped Su Li's shoulder unhappily: "Tsk, Mr. Lu, I still have some capital."

After entering the inner field, they saw that most of the seats were still empty, so they found a place to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a low conversation from the seat behind me.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

“Everyone isn’t here just for that.”

"Every family is jealous of the treasure obtained by Gu Xing, the eldest son of the Gu family, and wants to take it into their pockets. However, Gu Xing refuses to agree, and more and more people are gathering to want this treasure. If Gu Xing hadn't almost lost his life protecting the treasure, no one would be willing to give it up!"

"I heard about it. Someone broke in and robbed the treasure in the middle of the night, and was discovered by Gu Xing."

"This is a dangerous treasure, but the more dangerous it is, the more fascinating it is! The Gu family is considered a well-known family in the rankings of Baicheng. Although not as famous as the first three families, at least they still have a reputation. In the end, such a wonderful treasure was snatched away by their family. How can others not be jealous?"

"Gu Xing was afraid that he would lose his life because of this treasure, so he announced the auction of the treasure."

The man pressed on, "Then do you know why the Gu family held the auction in Haicheng?"

"How to say?"

"I heard that Yu Xing's boss, headed by Bai Cheng, has been in Hai Cheng recently!"

"Could it be that the Gu family wants to sell this thing to Boss Yu Xing?"

The man smiled and said, "Of course! If this thing is taken away by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid the world will change..."

Su Li and Lu Shuangshuang looked at each other, then Lu Shuangshuang leaned over to Su Li's shoulder and whispered, "I feel like this auction is not simple."

Su Li also agreed.

It allows various families to gather here.

But what is this treasure they are talking about? It even makes people from Baicheng and Haicheng want it.

"Shuangshuang, do you know what the treasure they are talking about is?"

Lu Shuangshuang shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."

Su Li didn't ask any more questions. Looking at the stage not far away, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Such a grand auction attracted families from Baicheng, and even the aristocratic families from Haicheng came to join in the fun.

It can't be because of Mu Zheyan's necklace, which was not sure whether it was designed for him.

Baicheng Gu family, Gu Xing.

Where did he find this treasure, and why did he intend to give it to Yu Xing?

There is some unknown secret behind this.

People came in one after another wearing masks.

Su Li and Lu Shuangshuang were getting a little bored waiting, so they just looked at their phones.

Taking advantage of the time before the auction started, Su Li searched Baicheng.

The first thing that appears on the search page is Yuxing Group.

Led by Yu Xing, there are also the Pei family, the Chen family, and the Luo family in Baicheng.

Apart from these, there was no other introduction, not to mention what Lu Shuangshuang had said to her on the crew last time.

The Luo family is also in Baicheng, so would Luo Ze know more?

Thinking of this, Su Li wanted to contact Luo Ze.

The moment I opened WeChat, I realized that I hadn't added him as a friend yet.

……

"Welcome everyone who has come from afar." The person who spoke on the stage was also wearing a mask.

I couldn't see his face clearly, so I could only make some judgement based on his voice.

There was a murmur of discussion behind her, and Su Li realized that the person on the stage was Gu Xing, the eldest son of the Gu family in Baicheng.

"This auction is divided into two halves, and the items you're most interested in are mostly concentrated in the second half. Everyone, get ready. Now, the auction officially begins."

The first item appears.

The staff lifted the red cloth, revealing a crystal crown shining with golden light.

Although the location is some distance away from the stage, one can still feel the complexity of the craftsmanship.

Su Li glanced at Lu Shuangshuang beside her, and seeing a flash of light in her eyes, she asked, "Do you like it?"

"It looks pretty good." Lu Shuangshuang praised generously, then turned to Su Li and emphasized: "Don't spend money recklessly, didn't you come here for that necklace?"

While the two were chatting, someone started bidding.

The starting price was 10, and the person bidding directly called out 50.

Deeply wealthy...

In the end, no one continued to pursue the deal and the transaction was completed at 50 yuan.

After reading it, Lu Shuangshuang shook her head: "Now I understand why those big bosses like to hold this kind of auction. They make money really quickly..."

"A crystal crown already has a starting price of 50. So for those who come for the treasures in the Gu family, what figure do you think it will end up costing?" Su Li supported her chin and watched the show.

Lu Shuangshuang also came over, propped up her chin, and shook her head: "It's hard to say. Didn't you hear it too? That thing is very dangerous. Anyone who gets it will turn heaven into hell."

It's such a treasure.

The more curious I am, the more I wonder what it is that attracts so much attention.
