49: Chapter 48: Excuse me, who is Mr.

Fang Yi?

“`

Three million!

When this bid spilled from Fang Yi’s lips, it undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the room.

Three million was no trivial sum, and Fang Yi’s declaration was certainly astonishing.

“Three million?

Do you even have that much money?” Shen Binnan asked.

“I don’t, but I can borrow.” Fang Yi replied.

“I haven’t decided if I’ll lend it to you yet,” Shen Binnan spoke, intending to slow him down, “I don’t necessarily want that ring.”

Fang Yi gave her a cold look and said, “When did I ever say I was going to give it to you?

I’m buying it for myself to wear.”

“…” Shen Binnan reminded, “That’s a ring for women.”

The corner of Fang Yi’s mouth twitched: “I like it, and that’s my business.”

Meanwhile, over by Mingqi, Wang Chuye stood by Mingqi’s side and whispered, “Young Master Bai, that guy is deliberately driving up the price!”

Mingqi replied, “Let him.

I’m just driving it up too.”

“Three million for the first time!

Three million for the second time!

Three million for the third time!” As the auctioneer hammered down, the deal was sealed.

“It seems like you got swindled,” Shen Binnan said.

“It’s fine, just wait, I need to make a call,” Fang Yi said.

Suspicion flickered in Shen Binnan’s beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Fang Yi was indeed making a call, she couldn’t help but secretly think that this fellow must be borrowing money.

But considering he had just returned to the country, he shouldn’t know anyone well enough.

At the same time, the auction on the stage continued.

Soon, it was the Dragon Blood Ginseng’s turn, the item Fang Yi was most looking forward to.

Initially, the Dragon Blood Ginseng had drawn some attention due to its differences from ordinary ginseng, but after the price was driven up to two hundred thousand, interest waned.

There were few bidders, and so, the Dragon Blood Ginseng did not cause much of a stir.

But…

Fang Yi was determined to get his hands on the Dragon Blood Ginseng because it could help with his ‘illness’.

“Two hundred and fifty thousand.” Suddenly, Mingqi called out a new bid.

“Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time…”

“Three hundred thousand!” Fang Yi finally spoke up.

The crowd couldn’t help but stir.

They had already taken note of Fang Yi due to his earlier bidding war with Mingqi, and now that Mingqi was interested in the Dragon Blood Ginseng, Fang Yi had stepped in to compete again.

Some people couldn’t help but wonder if this guy knew who he was messing with.

After all, Mingqi was a young member of the Bai Family, a distinguished young master, and in Moon City, few would not give Mingqi face.

His active bidding indicated a resolute intention to acquire the ginseng.

But this…

this unknown upstart dared to blatantly oppose Mingqi without any fear.

Mingqi glanced at Fang Yi through the crowd and continued to bid: “Three hundred and fifty thousand.”

“Four hundred thousand,” Fang Yi countered smoothly and leisurely.

“Five hundred thousand,” Mingqi bid again.

“Six hundred thousand,” Fang Yi said.

…

The audience was somewhat dumbfounded.

Lin Mengyan and Shen Binnan had just put on such a show, and now, another seemed imminent.

But while Shen Binnan and Lin Mengyan were well-matched, both formidable in their own right, comparing Fang Yi to Mingqi…

Be it in status, family background, or social standing, Fang Yi appeared to be foolishly overestimating himself in the eyes of the crowd when daring to challenge the Bai Family’s young master.

However, just as the bidding war reached one million, an elderly man appeared in the hall.

The elder was dressed in a Tang suit, plain and unremarkable, showing nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

However, the middle-aged man in a suit accompanying the old man certainly attracted attention.

Someone immediately exclaimed, “Isn’t… isn’t that Secretary Hu?”

“`

“Secretary Hu?”

Some found the name vaguely familiar, while others immediately looked over, and were at once astonished.

“Um?” Shen Binnan’s eyebrows slightly raised.

“Who is this Secretary Hu?” Fang Yi asked.

“…” Shen Binnan said.

“Oh.” Fang Yi understood, blinked, and his face showed a hint of doubt, thinking to himself that the old man’s phone call to him was no simple matter.

Naturally, Shen Binnan didn’t notice Fang Yi’s odd expression; she was just slightly perplexed in her mind and hasn’t connected Fang Yi with Secretary Hu.

“Old Zhou, where is that young man?” Secretary Hu respectfully asked the elder.

Old Zhou scanned the surroundings and said, “Actually, I have never seen that young man either.

How about this, you go and greet Ying Zheng, and I’ll go up on stage and ask.”

“Okay.”

Secretary Hu immediately did as he was told.

Everyone in the hall watched the elder in surprise, curious about his identity that commanded such respect from Secretary Hu.

Because of the arrival of Old Zhou and Secretary Hu, the auction involving Fang Yi and Bai Mingqi was naturally interrupted, but Bai Mingqi didn’t dare to object.

He had already perceived the elder’s extraordinariness and didn’t mind taking a step back.

Ying Zheng was also caught off guard by the arrival of Old Zhou and Secretary Hu.

Even as one of the top three magnates of Moon City, he knew he was no match, after all, when it comes to the pairing of money and power, power always takes precedence.

While Secretary Hu negotiated, Old Zhou went up on stage.

Soon, Secretary Hu came over, whispered a few words into Old Zhou’s ear, who then nodded, and then Secretary Hu approached the microphone.

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, Secretary Hu spoke out loud, “May I ask, who is Mr.

Fang Yi?

Could Mr.

Fang Yi please respond?”

The voice spread by the microphone echoed throughout the hall, and everyone was puzzled—who was Fang Yi?

Indeed, who was Fang Yi?

People all around began looking left and right, trying to ascertain who Fang Yi was, causing a stir in the crowd.

“Meng Wei, did you see?” In the crowd, Bai Jingjing, clad in a red cheongsam, sipped from her wine glass.

The man in black behind her, named Meng Wei, had a bitter expression, and smiled, “Alliance Hierarch, I failed to recognize a great man earlier, it is you who has the insight.”

Bai Jingjing said, “Maybe not necessarily, let’s just keep watching.”

…

“Sister, sister…

Is the person on stage calling my big brother’s name?” Little Lolita Yiyi tugged at Lin Mengyan’s hand and looked up with her adorable face inquiring.

Lin Mengyan, her face shedding its surprised look, smiled and said, “Yeah, this bastard really does have a big face.”

Yiyi pouted unhappily, “Big brother is not a bastard…”

…

“Mr.

Bai, I…

I didn’t hear wrong, did I?

The person Secretary Hu is calling is…” Wang Chuye faltered, too stunned to finish his sentence.

Bai Mingqi’s face darkened, looking as grim as still water.

The tall wine glass in his hand was almost crushed by his grip.

“I underestimated you…” Bai Mingqi gritted his teeth and, without paying attention to Wang Chuye, turned and left.

It was better to leave than to stay and be further humiliated.

…

“Let me ask again, please, who is Mr.

Fang Yi?

Old Zhou has already arrived.” Seeing no one answering, Secretary Hu repeated the question.

At this moment, Shen Binnan was utterly astonished.

She had never connected Fang Yi to the situation, but even the icy Shen Binnan couldn’t help but look at Fang Yi with a few traces of shock in her eyes.

This guy…

how many secrets is he hiding?
