After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"See? I told you so! This medicinal herb is clearly a good thing. Ye Bai was just playing tricks on me before!"

"Once that kind of fearful and timid acting is used, everyone can see through it, so now they've changed their approach, trying to scare me off by constantly raising the price!"

"Unfortunately, such clumsy tricks are destined to be futile in the face of my discerning eyes!"

Seeing that Ye Bai was still bidding even after the auction price had exceeded ten million, Zhao Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief and a wise smile appeared on his face.

He then raised his paddle without hesitation and shouted, "Fifteen million!"

Chen Feng was dumbfounded upon seeing this. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "How about... we wait for Uncle Xiong to come back and let him take a look first..."

The "Uncle Xiong" he mentioned was the strong bodyguard from Zhaojiadun who had previously recognized the extraordinary nature of the Ganoderma lucidum.

Because Zhao Yanwang left the auditorium a few minutes earlier to answer a phone call, the man surnamed Xiong, who was his bodyguard, naturally had to follow him closely and was not here at the moment.

"No need for Uncle Xiong to look, I've already figured out that bastard Ye Bai's tricks. This time, we absolutely can't let him get away with it again!"

Zhao Wuyai shook his head, his tone extremely firm.

He didn't know much about medicinal herbs, but he could tell that this Panax notoginseng was of much better quality than the previous Ganoderma lucidum.

Even a tattered Ganoderma lucidum can be worth over ten million, so this Panax notoginseng, no matter how bad, should be worth at least thirty to fifty million!

So, while the price of 15 million may seem high, if you can actually win the bid, you'll still make a fortune!

More importantly, preventing Ye Bai from taking the picture means that the other party won't gain this advantage, which is better than anything else!

Seeing Zhao Wuyai's confident demeanor, Chen Feng swallowed hard. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Based on my understanding of Ye Bai, this scoundrel is extremely cunning. I'm worried this is another trap..."

Since encountering Ye Bai, the Chen family has been suffering losses, which makes Chen Feng hate Ye Bai to death, but also makes him feel involuntarily afraid.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I feel it's best not to be careless with guys who like to scheme.

"Don't worry, everything is under my control."

Zhao Wuyai shook his head, completely ignoring Chen Feng's advice.

Seeing this, Chen Feng could only smile wryly and dared not offer any further advice.

The eldest son of the Zhao family has never been a good-tempered person, and he has always been stubborn and self-willed. If you say anything more, you are likely to offend the other party and have the opposite effect.

Anyway, all the advice that needed to be given has been given, and if Zhao Wuyai really falls for it in the end, it won't be his fault.

"Fifteen million for the first time..."

While Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng were talking, Ye Bai did not continue to bid, but instead whispered to Qin Wanqing.

"Could this be the thousand-year-old Panax notoginseng? You've struck gold again?"

Qin Wanqing asked with a strange expression.

Now that she knows what the main ingredients in the "life-saving pill" are, she naturally makes connections to it.

Otherwise, given Ye Bai's stingy nature, how could he possibly bid over ten million for something worth two million?

If this guy were that generous, he wouldn't have waited until now to participate in the auction.

"...Do you think those rare and precious herbs are like cabbages growing by the roadside? A thousand-year-old Panax notoginseng? This Panax notoginseng isn't even two hundred years old. At most, it's a hundred years old. The appraiser hired for this charity auction must have terrible eyesight."

Ye Bai gave Qin Wanqing a look of disdain, as if he were looking at a mentally challenged child.

No wonder Lulu is so silly, she was infected by Queen Qin.

He casually sees a Panax notoginseng plant and thinks it's a thousand years old. How did someone with that level of intelligence become the president of the Qin Group? No wonder he was eventually ousted; it's no wonder he was ousted!

"You surnamed Ye, are you never going to stop?"

At this moment, Qin Wanqing seemed to be able to hear Ye Bai's thoughts, so she turned red with anger and reached out to pinch his waist again.

"hiss……"

The familiar pain returned, and Ye Bai instantly felt calm.

He really can't mess with women who like to pinch people's waists.

"Fifteen million for the second time..."

The host spoke again, and judging from his posture, he was ready to bring down the gavel.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuyai, who was originally full of confidence, began to feel a little nervous.

Ye Bai hasn't made a bid yet. Instead, he's been whispering to Qin Wanqing. Could it be that Chen Feng guessed right? Is this another trap set by the other party to make him a sucker again?

Upon realizing this, Zhao Wuyai's expression instantly turned ugly.

He didn't care about 15 million; if he lost it, he lost it. But being ridiculed as a sucker was something he absolutely couldn't accept.

"Sixteen million!"

Just as Zhao Wuyai was getting angrier and angrier, Ye Bai's voice finally rang out.

At this moment, Ye Bai's voice, which Zhao Wuyai originally loathed the most, became as melodious as heavenly music.

"Mr. Zhao..."

Chen Feng, who had been on tenterhooks, breathed a sigh of relief and then tried to persuade Zhao Wuyai to quit while he was ahead.

Sixteen million is no small sum. Even if Ye Bai really got a bargain, it's still better than them being ripped off.

Before Chen Feng could even utter these words of advice, Zhao Wuyai had already raised the sign again.

"Twenty million!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's vision went black, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This young master of the Zhao family not only raised the price again, but he raised it by a full four million!

"Don't worry, Ye Bai hesitated for so long and even discussed it with Qin Wanqing. It's obvious that he thinks this old medicinal herb is very valuable and profitable, and he wants her to agree to let him continue bidding!"

"Since that's the case, I certainly won't let him have his way! He thinks he can get away with anything from me? He's dreaming!"

"Just you wait and see. Even if I bid 20 million, or even 30 million, Ye Bai will definitely follow!"

Seemingly sensing Chen Feng's unusual behavior, Zhao Wuyai smugly offered his comfort.

As if to verify the correctness of the young master Zhao's judgment, Ye Bai hesitated for a moment and then raised his sign again.

"Twenty-one million!"

"Twenty-two million!"

"Twenty-three million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

"..."

"thirty million!"

"..."

"Thirty-five million!"

As Ye Bai and Zhao Wuyai kept raising their bids, the price began to soar, eventually reaching an astonishing level!

The wealthy family members, who had been watching with great interest, now had very strange expressions, looking at Ye Bai and Zhao Wuyai as if they were looking at two foolish sons of a landlord.

I've seen spendthrifts before, but I've never seen one this extravagant!

It's simply unbelievable that an old medicinal herb worth no more than two million would be priced at over thirty million!

It's true that wealthy families are rich, but 30 million is definitely not a small amount of money!

Even at charity auctions, such a sucker is extremely rare!

"Mr. Zhao..."

Chen Feng was terrified and couldn't help but want to offer more advice.

"The more frantically Ye Bai bids, the more it shows that he's determined to get that old herb! In that case, I'll give him another push and let him really taste the thrill of it!"

"Don't worry, since Ye Bai has followed us this far, he'll definitely follow us in this final battle!"

Before Chen Feng could speak, Zhao Wuyai revealed a knowing smile and raised the sign again.

"Thirty-five million one hundred thousand!"

For this final bid, Zhao Wuyai used a little trick: instead of increasing the price by one million at a time, he only added one hundred thousand.

This can easily give the illusion that Zhao Wuyai is struggling to keep up.

So as long as Ye Bai makes another offer, he can buy the item.

Given that both of them had previously bid an additional million, Ye Bai might subconsciously shout out thirty-six million due to inertia.

At that point, Zhao Wuyai will no longer make any bids.

It has to be said that the eldest son of the Zhao family had a very good plan. Unfortunately, if Ye Bai were to play by that kind of formula, he wouldn't be Ye Bai.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Zhao is indeed very wealthy. I had already bid up to thirty-five million and you still raised the price. You are truly a great philanthropist who spares no expense for charity! Fine, then I'll let you have it. I can't stop you from doing charity."

Ye Bai not only didn't raise his paddle again, but also gave Zhao Wuyai a thumbs up and stopped bidding.
