Chapter 261: Chapter 254: 16 Times the Premium! Ma Mubo Was Tricked!

"Two hundred million!"

"Master Ma really is wealthy!"

"The financial power of Ma Group is indeed too strong!"

"Looks like Master Chen has no chance to raise the bid this time! I heard the reason he wanted to secure the original medicine was to treat his internal injuries. It’s such a pity."

"If Master Chen can’t win the bid for this original medicine, his internal injuries will likely get worse. After all, he is no longer young, and it’s hard for him to heal himself."

The wealthy individuals sitting in the booths and on the sofas were all marveling at Ma Mubo’s wealth and sighing over Master Chen.

Even though they weren’t participating in the bidding, their interest in the discussion was very high.

Such a high price of a whopping two hundred million!

The mayor of ZH city and the officials were breathing heavily; if this money could be donated, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous act of merit.

"It’s over..."

Master Chen shuddered and muttered to himself.

In this moment, Master Chen seemed to have aged several years, spiritless, and he managed a bitter smile.

How could he possibly compete?

The other party was Ma Group! Even a hair plucked from their body could crush him in wealth!

"Master!"

"Master, let’s forget it, we will think of another way!"

Several disciples led by Chen Yi were trying to comfort Master Chen.

"Another way... Alas, easier said than done!"

Master Chen sighed heavily, only he knew how difficult it was to heal his internal injuries. He had searched for good remedies all over Hua Xia, and only Wanyan Company’s Medicine No.1 had some effect in suppressing his injuries.

The original medicine displayed on the platform, ten times more potent than Medicine No.1, would most likely cure his internal injuries!

But Master Chen couldn’t afford it!

With a price tag of two hundred million, how many people present could afford it?

Though the wealthy people here were worth a lot, most of their wealth was in real estate.

Who else could, like Master Ma, easily fork out two hundred million in liquid assets without even batting an eye?

Even if there were people here with that much liquid capital, they wouldn’t spend it on the original medicine. After all, for these businessmen who were common folk, Wanyan Company’s Medicine No.1 was enough to treat all terminal illnesses, and it seemed somewhat unworthy to spend a huge amount of money on the original medicine of Medicine No.1.

"Two hundred million is the highest bid, asking for the first time!"

The attractive hostess asked with a smile on her face.

No one made a bid, Master Chen’s complexion was pale, he sat on the sofa with a bitter smile and stayed silent, giving up on raising his paddle to bid.

"Two hundred million is the highest bid, asking for the second time!"

The hostess continued to ask, still no bids were made.

"Master, should we help Master Chen with the bid?"

Li Xiaoman asked Bai Yan tenderly and softly by his ear. She saw that Master Chen was exceptionally respectful towards Bai Yan, and they seemed to have some sort of rapport, so she inquired about Bai Yan’s intentions.

Bai Yan looked up, his gaze indifferent, and suddenly let out a chuckle after a glance at the confidently smiling Ma Mubo not far away.

You think just paying a price of two hundred million is enough?

Dream on!

"Raise the paddle."

Bai Yan said softly.

Li Xiaoman nodded, her delicate hand picking up the bidding paddle.

"Wanyan Company bids three hundred million."

Li Xiaoman said with a smile, her crisp and pleasant voice ringing loud in the silent auction hall.

"Ah!"

"Wanyan Company actually bids three hundred million! Goddess Li has raised the bid by a whole billion!"

"So wealthy! The liquid assets of Wanyan Company are too abundant!"

"But why would Goddess Li bid? Isn’t this the auction item offered by Wanyan Company itself? Why would she bid on it?"

"Could it be that Goddess Li is making a contribution to the charity event through this method? After all, Wanyan Company hasn’t bid on any item the whole night!"

Everyone was both shocked and puzzled, speculating about Li Xiaoman’s motives for bidding.

The hostess was also taken aback, then she continued with a smile: "Wanyan Company bids three hundred million, any other bids?"

People turned their heads looking at Master Ma Mubo; he was the only one left interested in the original medicine, and it was time to see if he would follow up with a bid!

At this moment, Ma Mubo was also confused, he couldn’t understand why Li Xiaoman would bid.

Why would Li Xiaoman bid... Does she need a reason?

The host signaled her to raise the bidding paddle, and she did just that!

Bai Yan, wearing an expression as calm as still water, took a sip of red wine and narrowed his eyes slightly, making it impossible to guess what was on his mind.

Ma Mubo shot a deep glance at Bai Yan. His instincts were screaming that Li Xiaoman’s reason for her bid was directly tied to Bai Yan!

"The highest price of three billion has been called for the first time in the auction!"

The auctioneer began calling for bids.

Ma Mubo smiled.

No matter how much you bid, I am determined to get the original medicine!

"I bid 3.02 billion!"

Ma Mubo said aloud.

Li Xiaoman looked toward Bai Yan, and with a slight nod from Bai Yan, he said, "Raise it."

"Wanyan Company bids 3.03 billion!"

"I bid 3.05 billion!"

"Wanyan Company, 3.08 billion!"

"Four billion!"

Ma Mubo’s expression grew more solemn. Although he was the scion of the Ma Group, he was not yet the one in power! Ma Mubo didn’t have much money, and the current price of the original medicine was getting dangerously close to his limit!

"Wanyan Company bids 4.03 billion!"

Li Xiaoman continued to follow the bidding with a smile.

Competing with Wanyan Company for wealth?

That’s a death wish!

Wanyan Company, apart from a few secretive pharmaceutical factories and Wanyan Building worth several billion, didn’t own any real estate. Wanyan Company’s market value of tens of billions was entirely in liquid assets!

"Five billion!"

With gritted teeth, Ma Mubo’s forehead began to break out in cold sweat—he insisted on raising the bid to pressure Li Xiaoman to back down.

"Five billion and one hundred million."

With a flirtatious smile, Li Xiaoman leaned close to Bai Yan. Her incremental raise wasn’t by much—just a tad higher than Ma Mubo’s, precisely enough to crush him!

"Mr. Li, give me some face, won’t you? Your Wanyan Company should still have some of this item, shouldn’t you? Why bother competing with me!"

With a darkened face, Ma Mubo glared at Li Xiaoman, his eyes carrying an almost imperceptible resentment.

This damned woman, she actually dares to oppose me!

"I am merely trying to do a bit of charity."

Li Xiaoman shrugged her fragrant shoulders innocently, her smile sweet.

Indeed, all of tonight’s auction proceeds would be unconditionally donated for charity activities within Hua Xia.

Her words couldn’t be faulted!

But for some reason, everyone’s mouths twitched involuntarily—each person here was a sharp player in the business world, and they all felt that Wanyan Company was deliberately targeting Ma Mubo.

"Alright, then. May the best player win!"

Ma Mubo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I bid eight billion!! Mr. Li, if you can outbid that, then I will bow out."

Eight billion in liquid funds was the limit that young master Ma could offer, he simply couldn’t afford more.

Ma Mubo proudly smiled, disbelieving that Li Xiaoman could continue to match the bid.

A hefty eight billion would be enough to make many back off!

Li Xiaoman did not answer and turned her beautiful eyes towards Bai Yan.

Those present began to understand—the bids might have been called by Li Xiaoman, but the underlying director was her mysterious boyfriend!

Bai Yan took a sip of red wine and smiled.

His smile was as cunning as a fox’s.

"Eight billion? It seems Young Master Ma is indeed wealthy!"

Swirling his wine glass, Bai Yan spoke with a faint smile, "Since Young Master Ma desires the original medicine so eagerly, then we shall not contest further for what others cherish! I would like to thank Young Master Ma on behalf of the impoverished people of Hua Xia for your generosity!"

The words, wrapped in a light smile from Bai Yan, echoed through the room and left everyone stunned. Wanyan Company is no longer competing?

Li Xiaoman revealed a sweet smile and said, "Wanyan Company abstains."

Suddenly, the room erupted into a commotion!

The original medicine sold for eight billion!

That’s a whopping sixteen times the pre-estimated market price of fifty million!

Ma Mubo’s previously self-assured smile suddenly froze.

He stared at the unruffled Bai Yan, and Ma Mubo couldn’t shake the feeling that he had been outsmarted!
