As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd began to murmur among themselves, and even Mingyu, who had been expressionless the whole time, raised an eyebrow.

Despite being somewhat surprised, Mingyu maintained his professional demeanor and quickly picked up the hammer to continue the conversation.

"One hundred million for the first time, one hundred million for the second time, one hundred million for the third time, deal done. Congratulations to this lady for once again acquiring the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Screen."

"Okay, next up is our fourth one..."

"1500."

"3000 million."

.......

"1 million." Lin Xi raised his sign.

"One hundred million for the first time, one hundred million for the second time, one hundred million for the third time, okay, deal."

"Now it's the fifth item..."

"2000."

"5000."

"8000."

"One hundred million." Lin Xi raised her sign again.

"Who is this guy? He throws around a hundred million like that. I refuse to believe I can't buy one today!"

"One hundred and thirty million."

Lin Xi slowly raised the sign in her hand again and softly called out, "2 million."

"Damn it, I'm not taking pictures anymore, you can have it." A spoiled brat was completely driven to despair.

"Two hundred million for the first time, two hundred million for the second time, two hundred million for the third time, okay, deal."

"The auction has only just begun and the bids are already in the hundreds of millions?"

"Have we wandered onto the wrong movie set?"

"Next, the sixth item..."

"5000."

"2 million." Lin Xi raised his sign.

"The seventh item..."

"One hundred and fifty million."

"3 million." Lin Xi raised his sign.

"Host, this is awesome! All the good stuff is ours!" the system exclaimed excitedly.

"Indeed, having an Infinite Card really makes a difference," Lin Xi thought to herself.

"The eighth item..."

"Okay, congratulations Ms. Lin..."

"The ninth item..."

"Sold, congratulations Ms. Lin..."

"Xiao Ran, is Lin Xi really that strong?" Ye's father finally couldn't help but ask, turning slightly to the side.

"Oh, yesterday when we went to the karaoke bar, she topped up my membership card with 100 million without saying a word," Ye Jinran replied calmly.

"One hundred million?" Mr. Ye was somewhat surprised, and his voice unconsciously became louder before he quickly lowered it.

"You mean she just casually gave you a hundred million?"

"Yes."

"This girl is amazing. Do you think you two could develop a relationship?" Ye's father's eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Jinran expectantly.

"Ahem, Dad, what are you saying?"

Ye Jinran, who was drinking water, choked and blushed involuntarily.

Ye's father understood immediately from his expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sigh, his son has finally come to his senses, but the girl's eyes are clearly clear when she looks at him, which makes things difficult.

Ye's father glanced at Ye Jinran beside him with some disdain, wondering if the other party would agree to his offer.

Holding her cup, Ye Jinran was unaware that her own father was already disliking her.

Meanwhile, Song Beichuan, sitting in the back row, looked at Lin Xi, who was at the very front, with great interest. This person was truly mysterious.

For the first time, he felt curious about a girl and had a desire to explore her.

"Now let's auction the 10th item, a painting of ten thousand lights on the streets, which was Wang Qiyi's last work before his death. The starting price is 500 million, and each bid must be at least 100 million. The auction begins."

"600."

"1000."

……

Hearing the bidding from the crowd, Lin Xi remained unmoved, her eyes fixed on the painting on the stage, a strange light seemingly emanating from them.

This is a fake painting!

So why are auctions being misled?

For the sake of so-called achievements, Lin Xi must stand up.

"This is a fake painting," Lin Xi said loudly.

"What? This is a fake painting? That's hilarious. What does a woman like her know about real and fake paintings?"

"Is this just a publicity stunt? How could this possibly be a fake painting?"

"I saw the auctioneer's face change. Let's see how she handles this."

As soon as Lin Xi spoke, the entire auction hall erupted in discussion.

"Xiao Ran, can she also appraise calligraphy and paintings? I've never heard you mention that before," Ye's father asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know that either."

"Then we can only wait and see how she handles it," Mr. Ye said with some worry.

"Dad, I believe her," Ye Jinran replied calmly.

"Brother, this painting is actually fake. There has never been one before." Song Beishu said with a look of surprise.

"How can you be so sure it's fake, and not just something she made up?"

"It's definitely fake. If Sister Xi says it's fake, then it must be fake. I believe Sister Xi."

Seeing his fanboy-like expression, Song Beichuan shook her head helplessly, but deep down she wondered, could it really be fake? She really didn't need to gain attention this way.

If Lin Xi knew what he was thinking, she would probably feel embarrassed, since she really needed to get attention right now.

"Madam, this is a genuine work personally acknowledged by Wang Qi's family. What evidence do you have to prove it's fake?" Mingyu's voice was somewhat cold and oppressive, and he even changed how he addressed her.

"She really thinks she's an expert? I've never seen a fake item sold at an auction."

"Exactly, she's so young, yet she's already spouting nonsense. I don't know how her parents raised her, she even dares to question the auction."

The others remained silent, calmly watching the drama unfold.

Lin Xi calmly replied, "Since when does something become authentic just because a family member acknowledges it? Does that mean if I just paint something randomly, find a family member to acknowledge it, take a picture, and it'll be indistinguishable from the real thing?"

"That's hilarious. Why should someone's family testify for you? Just because you're rich?"

"Now that you mention it, it's true. It might really be because of money?"

"I suddenly realized she had a point. Shouldn't paintings like this need to be professionally authenticated?"

A flicker of panic flashed across Mingyu's eyes. Could it really be fake? They skipped the authentication process because they had proof; could there really be a problem?

However, he remained calm and said, "This is just your speculation. This alone cannot prove that the painting is fake."

“Indeed, the problem lies in the quality of the painting. Although the paper has been artificially aged, it couldn’t have been painted more than a month ago. How could this be an authentic work? I believe you have specialized testing methods to prove what I’m saying,” Lin Xi said methodically.

"She can't be telling the truth, can she? But would an auction house make such an obvious mistake?"

"Well, what's easiest to overlook is actually the simplest, because in their eyes it shouldn't be so perfunctory."

"That's true, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Mingyu had no choice but to urgently call his staff to contact internal professionals to bring over the equipment.
