Chapter 423 - Someone’s Causing Trouble

Chapter 423: Someone’s Causing Trouble

The first person to enter was a man in his thirties.

The owner of the black market’s underground auction was naturally not weak. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was fierce-looking.

However, his expression immediately changed when he saw Yan Jinyu.

He smiled and seemed a little excited. “Miss Yan, why didn’t you call me in advance when you came here? It’s also good for me to receive you personally!”

There were two people behind him. They should be his subordinates.

Be it him or his two subordinates, they were not wearing masks. They had taken off their masks and held them in their hands to show their respect.

“Didn’t Boss Bi know that I was here so quickly even when I didn’t call in advance?”

The person was Bi Cheng, the boss here.

This was not the only underground auction house. It was just that this was the headquarters and the other cities were its branches.

“Miss Yan, you must be joking. How can I be worthy of you calling me Boss Bi? Others might not know how I became the boss, but don’t you know?”

As he spoke, Bi Cheng sized up the people in the room.

Although he couldn’t see the face of the man in the black mask clearly, he was sure that he wasn’t Min Rufeng.

He thought that other than Miss Yan, the other three of them were also here. It turned out that only Huo Siyu was here.

“Miss Huo.” Bi Cheng’s attitude towards Huo Siyu was also very good.

Huo Siyu sat beside Yan Jinyu and nodded slightly. “Boss Bi.”

“You’re being too polite.”

“Miss Yan, what are you here to bid this time? If you like anything that’s auctioned tonight, you don’t have to wait. I’ll get someone to send it to you directly.”

Tan Shiyun sighed when she heard that.

Even Qin Hao looked over.

There were many rules in such a place. The information of the items being auctioned were usually released before the auction. The auction items would not be removed just before the auction started because this would affect the auction’s credibility. Unless a more precious item that the guests were more interested in could be found at the last minute and replaced.

However, whether it would affect their reputation or something more valuable could be found to replace it at the last minute, it would still affect the auction house.

The boss of this auction house was actually willing to do this for Yan Jinyu.

“There’s no need to. I’m not here to bid anything today. I have something else to do. Boss Bi, sit first. We’ll talk after the auction.”

Bi Cheng was puzzled, but he still walked over and sat down.

The two people following him stood behind him.

Bi Cheng waved his hand and the waiter brought tea and snacks over shortly.

Then, he looked at the other two people in the room. “Miss Yan, these two guests are?”

Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze that was looking at the auction hall below. “This gentleman is a friend of mine. It’s not convenient to reveal his identity. This lady is the heir of the Bo Family in Water City, Tan Shiyun. She’s on a vacation with me this time.”

“This is the boss here, Bi Cheng.”

Qin Hao was still fine, but Tan Shiyun was surprised when she heard her serious introduction.

With Jinyu’s serious introduction, her treatment would be completely different the next time she appeared on such an occasion again.

She was grateful and smiled politely. “Nice to meet you, Boss Bi.”

Bi Cheng glanced at Qin Hao and didn’t ask further. He smiled at Tan Shiyun, “So it’s the Bo Family in Water City. Miss Tan, nice to meet you.”

“Since Miss Tan is Miss Yan’s friend, you’re my friend. You’re also a friend of our auction house. I’ll get someone to send the pass over to you later. We’ll tell anyone who has the pass what’s about to be auctioned every time we hold an auction. If Miss Tan is interested, you can go to the auction house to take a look.”

“Thank you, Boss Bi.” Tan Shiyun was undoubtedly happy.

Even if one had the money, they might not be qualified to participate in the underground auction.

This was actually a status symbol.

If she hadn’t happened to come with Jinyu this time, it wouldn’t have been easy for her to get a pass even if she inherited the Bo Family in the future.

The items auctioned at such an auction house were never ordinary.

Next, Tan Shiyun witnessed what an auction fiesta was.

The most common items auctioned here were already priceless things she had never seen before.

Halfway through the auction, Qin Hao suddenly stood up. “I’m going out for a walk.”

Bi Cheng frowned.

It was actually against the rules to leave the private room during the auction.

However, he didn’t say anything and just looked at Yan Jinyu.

After Yan Jinyu nodded at him, he said, “Then I’ll get someone to accompany Sir. The environment here is complicated. This is so that Sir won’t get lost.”

“I’ll go with him. I happen to want to go out for a walk too.” Huo Siyu stood up.

However, she didn’t look at Qin Hao, even though Qin Hao’s attention was always on her.

Huo Siyu was still angry. This was the first time Huo Siyu was really angry with him since they got together.

Qin Hao actually felt flustered.

Bi Cheng obviously trusted Huo Siyu. “That’s good too.”

After the two of them left the private room, Bi Cheng said as he watched the lively auction, “Miss Yan, you said that you and this lady are here for a vacation. Then, you’re actually just passing by here?”

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Tan Shiyun actually felt that Bi Cheng’s tone seemed to be a little resentful.

Yan Jinyu said, “You can say that too.”

“You have 30% of the shares in this auction house. Why are you so indifferent to your own business? It’s been almost five years since you last came. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take your dividend?”

Tan Shiyun was really shocked now. Her eyes widened.

Was Jinyu still holding a share here?

It even took up 30%!

Then how much was the annual dividend?

Yan Jinyu looked at Bi Cheng and chuckled, “If you have the guts, just take it. I don’t lack this bit of money either.”

“…” Bi Cheng. He didn’t have the guts.

Also, she actually said that she did not lack this bit of money. 30% of the shares, a year’s dividend was enough for a common person to spend for a few lifetimes, but it did not seem to be much in her eyes!

She was indeed a big shot.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that he got to know this big shot.

In the past, his father was the one in charge of this underground auction.

His father also had a few illegitimate children. Whether it was an open business or an under table business, there were always competitions for the family assets.

Eight years ago, the family started a year-long fight for assets after his father passed away.

Although he was the legitimate heir, after the illegitimate son’s mother took over, his father favored the illegitimate son and gave him the right to fight for the assets with him.

It was Yan Jinyu who saved him at the last moment.

According to what she said at that time, that illegitimate son was her mission target. It was just a coincidence that she saved him.

Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, she had saved him.

She was also wearing a mask then. He could not see her face. The auction house could no longer withstand the long term infighting, she invested a huge sum of money and said that it was an investment.

He only saw her face after contacting her a few more times.

It was actually a coincidence that he saw her face.

One time, the four of them came to bid for something. As there were no outsiders in the private room, they did not wear masks. He was so excited that he ignored everything and rushed in when he found out that she was at the auction. He saw their faces then.

Speaking of that time, his legs went a little weak.

He almost died under Min Rufeng’s silver needle.

Ever since then, he had a psychological trauma regarding them.

However, it was undeniable that Yan Jinyu was his great benefactor.

“Do you really not have anything you like? The items auctioned tonight seem to be quite good. Why don’t you name a price?”

He looked at Tan Shiyun. “Miss Tan, you can also see if there’s anything you like.”

Tan Shiyun shook her head politely. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Boss Bi. I don’t have any for now.” What a joke. Any item here costs more than 100 million dollars. It wasn’t like she needed to buy them. She wasn’t that generous.

After saying that, Yan Jinyu really took a fancy to something.

The auction item that was just being displayed was a purple dragon jade pendant.

The auctioneer was exaggerating. Yan Jinyu only liked it at first glance because she felt that it was very compatible with Yin Jiujin.

Other than the ring that she had personally polished, she didn’t seem to have given Yin Jiujin anything else. Why shouldn’t she get this jade pendant back?

Seeing that she was suddenly interested, Bi Cheng asked, “Miss Yan, are you interested in this? Why don’t…”

Yan Jinyu raised her hand and interrupted him, “That’s too boring.”

At this moment, someone had already shouted 800 million.

Yan Jinyu raised her number plate. Bi Cheng gestured to one of the people standing behind him and he shouted, “One billion!”

Everyone gasped at the 200 million sudden increase.

Some people even lamented who could actually be so generous. However, not many people dared to speak anymore when they heard that it was Private Room 3 on the third floor. This was obviously a big shot.

In the end, Yan Jinyu naturally got the item.

This was just a small interlude. Other than making Tan Shiyun even more shocked and making the people in the other private rooms guess who was in Private Room 3 on the third floor, it didn’t affect them much.

“This is a man’s jade pendant. Miss Yan, are you bidding for it to give it to someone?” Bi Cheng actually knew Yan Jinyu’s current identity and could guess who she was probably bidding for this jade pendant to give it to. However, he felt it was a little rare to see these big shots, so he couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

However, Yan Jinyu said, “Who said that I have to give the man’s jade pendant away after bidding for it? Can’t I keep it for myself?”

Her tone was indescribably strange.

Did she throw a tantrum because she was unhappy?

Bi Cheng shuddered at that thought.

What a joke. How could a big shot have emotions that only a little girl had?

Only Tan Shiyun’s lips twitched.

This jade pendant was obviously for Master Nine, but Jinyu said such words. She was clearly angry because of the way the woman in the red cheongsam called Master Nine.

Tan Shiyun silently lit a candle for Yin Jiujin.

Master Nine was really unlucky. He didn’t even know anything and was implicated by a strange woman.

Bi Cheng said, “…Of course. As long as Miss Yan is happy.”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. “Let me in. My friend is here!”

Yan Jinyu’s expression turned cold as she put on the mask.

Tan Shiyun didn’t know what was going on but she didn’t ask further. She simply put on her mask.

Bi Cheng followed suit.

“Let’s go out and see what’s going on!” Bi Cheng’s presence was fully released. He was no longer as friendly as before.

“Yes, Boss.”
