    A Chen Xiang Buddhist bracelet?


    Zhou Zimo’s eyes widened as he heard the term from Mu Yuchen.


    “From the looks of the color, it should be worth at least $2 million,” Mu Yuchen spoke again as he looked at the photos on the screen.


    “Seriously? Which idiot is selling this? Shouldn’t this be kept as a collection?” Zhou Zimo felt heartbroken for it.


    As expected, there was a huge reaction from the crowd when the auctioneer introduced this bracelet.


    Most of the middle-aged poption were Buddhists. As their positions got higher and their sries started to grow, they were more inclined to believe in religion and <i>fengshui </i>.


    The same applied to Wang Hui as well. She would light up some incense every morning and pray for the family’s safety.


    “The starting price for this bracelet is $2 million. Each bid must be no less than $30,000. The bidding starts now!”


    Just as Mu Yuchen predicted.


    “$2.1 million!”


    “$2.3 million!”


    “$2.5 million!”


    ...


    The value of an item that was auctioned could go up several times of its original price, and it could go up even further for rare items like this.


    After a round of bidding, the bid reached $4 million. The bids were getting fewer. Since this was only the first item and more wereing outter, the crowd nned to wait for the other items.


    “$4.5 million! This sir over here is offering $4.5 million. Is there anyone else? $4.5 million, once!”


    “$4.5 million, twice!”


    “$4.5 million...”


    “$5 million.”


    Right before the auctioneer made the final call, Mu Yuchen nced at Ah Bao and he quickly took action.


    The auctioneer was overjoyed. No one else made a higher bid, so Mu Yuchen won the Buddhist bracelet.


    “That’s some good stuff, but I remember that you’re not a believer, and I don’t think you’re a collector, are you?” Zhou Zimo gave Mu Yuchen an odd nce.


    Mu Yuchen did not reply and just returned the nce. Then, Zhou Zimo shrugged.


    The second item up for auction was a golden te embedded with many different jewels. It was a very valuable collector’s item. A collector bought it at the price of $7 million.


    After some cheering, the auctioneer smiled. “It seems like the auction this time is getting more fired up than thest one. Next up, let’s have our third item of the day!”


    Under a blue spotlight, an exquisite pen was presented on stage.


    Zhou Zimo was shocked because he had seen this pen before!


    He stared at the pen for a few moments before looking at Mu Yuchen. “This is what you mean by something interesting? It’s a huge risk! Wouldn’t you have wasted it if that person didn’te? How are you going to exin it to Lingshi?”


    “This is why I wanted you toe.”


    Mu Yuchen had a creepy and wicked smile on his face!


    Zhou Zimo finally understood his n, and he almost punched him as he started yelling at him, “What the hell!? You cunning fox! No wonder you were so nice to go for a sauna and massage with me. This is what you nned! How sinister! I’m ashamed as a fellow businessman! You bastard!”


    Mu Yuchen smiled elegantly and took a sip of tea. “There’s nothing to worry about. I had someone appraise this pen. The sapphire embedded on it is worth more than the Buddhist bracelet just now.”


    Zhou Zimo thought to himself before concluding, “So, what you’re saying is that the man who gave this to Aunty Zixi must be a rich person! A small gift like this costs several million. We’ll be able to find out who is it if we can confirm that he’s in City B!”


    “I didn’t put in so much effort and benefits for the De Bao Trading auction for nothing. Hopefully, we can limit the scope to City B. After trying to find that man for so many years without any clue, that man is purposely making it difficult to sniff him out.”


    “Let’s hope that we can get to him this time. It’s starting soon! Look!” Zhou Zimo patted his shoulder before sitting back down. “I’m going to say this upfront. This is nearly a whole year’s worth of my expenses at Imperial Sky Entertainment City. You’d better give me a gold card for free!”


    “Since when have you and Su Chen ever paid when you guys were there?” Mu Yuchen replied calmly.


    Zhou Zimo shrugged. “Fine, whatever!”


    The auctioneer finished the introduction, announcing the starting bid at $2 million as well. Ah Bao was watching everyone who ced their bids carefully.


    “$3.7 million! Anyone offering higher than this?”


    “$4 million!” It was a woman’s voice. Mu Yuchen looked over at the voice source, and saw that it was Gu Lingsha!


    There was a short silence afterward as someone else then yelled, “$4.1 million!”


    “$4.5 million!” Gu Lingsha sounded determined.


    Mu Yuchen’s gaze turned sharp as he nced over at each and every corner from where the voices cing the bids came from.


    “$4.6 million!” The man who ced the earlier bid before continued.


    “$5 million!” Gu Lingsha seemed determined to get this pen as she was gunning her bids aggressively.


    “What is Gu Lingsha doing? Could she know that this pen was Lingtian’s? Or is she a collector herself? This is insane!”


    Zhou Zimo frowned as he looked at the booth where Gu Lingsha was at in confusion.


    In contrast, Mu Yuchen did not seem very affected. He looked like he was deep in thought as his grip on the teacup tightened.


    “Chen, it’s $5 million now. Should we do something?” Zhou Zimo looked at Mu Yuchen anxiously.


    “Wait just a little bit more.” Mu Yuchen came back to his senses and looked down. “The person who gave her this pen must know the true origins of it. I’m sure he’s wondering how the pen appeared here.”


    Zhou Zimo nodded in agreement.
