Imperial Treasure

Chapter 635 - 412: Competing for Treasures_2

The entire broadcast room was filled with the howling sounds of she-wolves...

The director glared: "Quiet down, quiet down, we’re live! Decorum! Decorum!"

But his eyes were still glued to the person on the screen...

The male idol was sitting casually at a spot in the first-floor hall, in a side-sitting position, his long legs conspicuously attractive, the hand holding the coffee so slender and elegant, his knuckles well-defined... Thus, a close-up shot came into play...

Then came the face.

Intoxicating.

"Who is this person?"

"It’s Xiao Xianting from the Xiao Family of Jiangdu, the winner of last year’s National Finance Circle’s Young Excellence Award... His appearance to accept the award last year caused quite a stir, but he’s very low-profile and has never accepted any interviews..."

"High, rich, and handsome and still low-key!.. Focus on this one!" The people from the TV station obviously knew what would attract viewers more, and of course, wouldn’t focus on just one person, the other tycoons also deserved some screen time, so the camera quickly moved on...

This caused many people in front of the TV to clutch at the screen and wail... NO! Male god!

Send blades to the damn TV station!

"One hundred and fifty million for the first time, one hundred and fifty million..."

The second call had not yet come out.

"One hundred and sixty million..." The voice that followed was somewhat gentle yet deep. Zuo Wei paused his action of holding the cup as soon as he heard it and looked up, the voice came from a compartment slightly to the left across from him, hidden behind a layer of beaded and jade curtains; one could vaguely see a man standing at the railing.

The voice was too familiar.

Making it impossible for Sui Yi to ignore,

Zhuang Ziliu.

This man was more difficult to deal with than anyone else, for he stood someone whom Sui Yi could not ignore behind him.

However...

Sui Yi looked across at that compartment, his thoughts growing heavy.

Could Duke Zheng’s Mansion have something to do with that person? It wasn’t that she was overly suspicious, but the schemes of Duke Zheng’s Mansion were obscure, just so fitting with the somewhat shady matters behind Zhuang Ziliu...

If Sherlock and his group were added to the mix, it would probably become another complicated mess...

"One hundred sixty million, Mr. Liew bids one hundred sixty million..."

"One hundred eighty million," Cao Yu spoke up, directly opposite Zhuang Ziliu, only that the other party could see them, but they could not see the other party.

"Who are these people, coming here and still hiding themselves, not straightforward," Cao Ling curled her lips, nonchalant.

"Don’t underestimate anyone here... whether they’re up here or down there," Cao Yu softly admonished his sister, but also heard someone outbid his offer.

"Two hundred fifty million, our Old Master bids two hundred fifty million; is there anyone higher? Is there?"

Dominant, this was the most dominant bid in the hall, raising the stakes by seventy million at once...

Sui Yi saw the Old Master talk and laugh with ease with the people around him as if undisturbed by external things...

"This old man really is dominant," Flower Demon commented while eating fruit.

"But Sui Yi, the price is getting higher and higher, how can the Misty the Pearl end up in the hands you intend to give it to?" Gong Jiu and the others had seen Sui Yi talking with Pang Shang earlier, and it seemed Sui Yi wanted to give the Misty the Pearl to someone else; it naturally wouldn’t be for himself since Sui Yi certainly didn’t like this sort of thing.

To give it to them would also seem meaningless, so...

Who could it be?

"Naturally, someone will send it," Sui Yi said indifferently.

The Old Master’s status and standing were no ordinary matters; unless necessary, no one would want to provoke him. After weighing his choices, Cao Yu decided to give up, after all, his desire for the Misty the Pearl wasn’t absolute.

"Xiao Xianting has given up too," Cao Ling, who still had some interest in handsome men, observed, at least he was not like Li Yu, who wasn’t up to her tastes.

"His aim was just to make his presence felt once. I believe he must be planning to enter our Capital City’s business circle,"

"He’s gathered enough momentum, pretty impressive," Cao Ling admired.

In some respects, the Cao siblings were always open-minded and generous in their praise of genuinely talented people.

Xiao Xianting was naturally one of them.

However, while Xiao Xianting had given up, others might not.

"Two hundred sixty million," Zhuang Ziliu bid slowly.

The Old Master glanced at the curtain, narrowed his eyes, and did not follow up with a bid, but someone else did.

"Two hundred eighty million," Zhong Li bid, the Martial Arts family didn’t have a hard time amassing money, Sui Yi had no doubts about that; after all, in this world, strength was supreme.

"Three hundred million,"

It was a stranger, but Sui Yi recognized the person standing behind him.

"Wealthy Mr. Niu! The guy in front of him is..." Gong Jiu and the others recognized Wealthy Mr. Niu but were quickly distracted by the person in front of him; she was a striking beauty. There’s a kind of beauty that makes one overlook her age, and you can’t guess her age either.

Appearance-wise, she isn’t young, at least not in her early twenties, but she’s not old because her skin condition is too good, even better than that of younger women. She’s wearing a sapphire blue cheongsam, currently sitting in a chair, leaning against the railing, where through the gaps her raised long legs with the high slits are subtly revealed, her fingers holding a cigarette, three fingers bejeweled with three cold silver rings...

The smoke wafts up, clouding whether it’s her face or everyone’s eyes.

But her fully mature demeanor and charm make it difficult for people to look away,

A truly excellent man will only admire the ketones and charm of young women, but what truly moves their hearts are women like her, who have incorporated coquettishness and elegance into their bones. Time is but a cup of wine for them, allowing them to savor even more beautiful days.

Without a doubt, she is a woman whom both young and old men cannot resist.

A perilous Spider Lily.

After she called the three hundred million bid, she blew out a smoke ring, everyone turned to look at her, and after being stunned for over a dozen seconds, the Old Master finally chuckled lowly, "Fu Ling, it seems you do have interest after having returned from abroad, I thought I could skip over you~"

What he was referring to as "outside" was abroad. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
