Chapter 143: Chapter 142 Fiery Eyes

Lin Hao furrowed his brows, how should he handle it?

"Anyway, you’re the hotel leader, you decide." Saying that, Lin Hao nodded indifferently to Huang Wentian and glanced at Nangong Wan’er, then the two walked inside together.

Nangong Wan’er eyed Lin Hao from head to toe and then back up again as if she were performing a CT scan.

Lin Hao’s lips twitched slightly. Who asked for him to impulsively agree to this little miss’s request? Could he not just bear it quietly?

"Ri Tian bro, what’s your story?" Nangong Wan’er lowered her voice, sighing in Lin Hao’s ear: "Yu Shilong, eh? Are you really invited by that old man?"

Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile, then suddenly stood still, turned around to stare at Nangong Wan’er, and slowly pressed closer step by step...

"What, what are you trying to do?" Backed against the wall, Nangong Wan’er wrapped her arms around herself, her posture full of defense, "I-I’m warning you, don’t be fooled by my appearance just now as if I couldn’t fight; I’m actually much stronger than you think. You’d better... behave..."

"Quiet down." Lin Hao remained unruffled by Nangong Wan’er’s bluster, still as calm as ever.

Nangong Wan’er went silent, recalling Huang Wentian’s respectful behavior towards him, and she obediently nodded.

Lin Hao’s figure swiftly backed away, resuming his previous pace and continued walking inside.

Nangong Wan’er clenched her fists, cocked her head to the side, but soon hurriedly followed after him, her mouth still sharp: "Still Ri Tian... why don’t you have the surname Tai!"

Lin Hao looked back and gave her an airy glance: "Can’t tell, but you’ve got quite the taste."

"Ah?" Nangong Wan’er wore a look of confusion, then quickly realized: "Lin Hao!!"

The leading waiter was startled, looking at the two with a troubled expression before finally summoning the courage to approach Nangong Wan’er: "Respected miss, my apologies, today’s auction has only valuable guests, could you please lower your voice a bit?"

Nangong Wan’er’s face reddened terribly, glaring fiercely at Lin Hao: "Oh, that, I’m sorry."

"Go on, what are you talking about!" Huang Wentian somehow came over, obsequiously nodding and bowing to Nangong Wan’er: "Miss, my apologies, that new waiter doesn’t understand the rules! You’re just like at home here, please don’t be polite, just let us know what you need!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao remained unfazed, he had seen plenty of fair-weather friends like Huang Wentian.

Seeing no reaction from them, Huang Wentian wiped the cold sweat off his brow and continued to lead the way, carefully smiling: "Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. That Zhang fellow, too bold indeed, he has been taken to the small office for a look, if you need anything after you’re done, they’re always waiting there!"

"Hm." Lin Hao nodded, noncommittal.

It must be out of fear of offending Yu Shilong that they are being so careful with him.

Anyway, Zhang Tiansheng had his legs cut off by his slave, let him squirm. As for Zhang Yusheng, considering Huang Wentian’s toady nature, he probably won’t get much out of him.

So he didn’t bother to pay attention, it was more important to sell that pile of Lin Family’s items.

"By the way, Mr. Huang." Lin Hao spoke indifferently: "Since it’s an auction, I can auction off my idle items as well, right?"

Huang Wentian was startled and quickly nodded vigorously: "Of course! Mr. Lin, you’re being too polite, doing business with our hotel right on your first visit!"

Lin Hao smiled: "What’s the process?"

"Yes, yes." Huang Wentian replied, then paused slightly, "However, Mr. Lin, the Yu Family’s private room has been prepared already, it’s just that the elder Mr. Yu hasn’t arrived yet, do you want to wait for him or..."

Since he is a guest of the Yu Family, naturally he would sit with Yu Shilong.

"It’s boring just sitting around anyway."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wentian immediately understood, "Mr. Lin, the Treasure Identification Room is just ahead, shall we go there?"

"Hm." Lin Hao nodded.

Nangong Wan’er widened her eyes and came closer: "Ri Tian bro, what treasure do you have? Tsk tsk, that multi-billion net worth of yours isn’t for show, why don’t you... let me have an Eye Opening?"

As usual, Lin Hao agreed readily: "Follow along then."

Anyway, the treasures coming from the Xu Family are not the sole ones in the world.

Huang Wentian couldn’t stop smiling as he led the way. A fortune of several billion?

He is indeed a prestigious guest of Yu Shilong; all are big clients!

The overall style of the Treasure Identification Room is similar to this hotel, only with a more serious atmosphere.

There aren’t many people here, each person carefully inspects each treasure with white gloves on their hands.

Huang Wentian took the two of them all the way into the innermost office, where a woman, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with her hair casually tied up and wearing glasses, was bending over to appraise a piece of porcelain.

"Who let you in? Get out."

The woman frowned, without lifting her head. Her voice was very cold but also pleasant to the ear.

Nangong Wan’er curled her lips, leaning forward to whisper in Lin Hao’s ear: "Quite the personality!"

The woman suddenly looked up, her gaze as cold as her voice, staring fixedly at Nangong Wan’er.

Lin Hao subtly moved his foot, quietly positioning himself between the two.

Huang Wentian hurriedly laughed it off: "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Lin, don’t mind her. Our Professor He Mai here isn’t very good at socializing."

"Professor?" Lin Hao curled his lips into a smile: "Young and promising."

He had some slight recollection of this person. In both, the auction circles and the treasure-hoarding circles, ’Professor He’ was a well-known figure.

Young and beautiful, with an icy demeanor, but those eyes for identifying treasures were more precise than even the most sophisticated apparatus.

However, too much personality without the corresponding skills, it seems that she later got her eyes gouged out by some enemy ending up in a foolish and crazy predicament.

He Mai withdrew her gaze, preoccupied with moving the precious piece of porcelain under a glass cover before removing her gloves and setting them aside, "What is it?"

"Little He, you shouldn’t always be so cold!" Huang Wentian said with an embarrassed smile, pointing to Lin Hao: "This is a prestigious client of the Yu Family, Mr. Lin. He came today to attend our auction and has treasures he wishes to consign for auction."

"Oh?" He Mai glanced at Lin Hao and Nangong Wan’er coldly, "Have treasures? Are they still on the way?"

Nangong Wan’er rolled her eyes impatiently, stood with her hands on her hips to one side, "Ri Tian, show her the treasure and dazzle her 24K gold-titanium dog eyes!"

"..."

Lin Hao was embarrassed; this girl...

He subtly touched the ring on his hand, and when he opened his palm again, a large, emerald-green thumb ring had appeared.

"Wow!" Nangong Wan’er was shocked, "You really have it!?"

Not only her, even Professor He Mai’s normally unemotional eyes flashed. Even if she didn’t regularly deal with antiques, she could tell that the thumb ring in Lin Hao’s hand was valuable.

Huang Wentian furrowed his brow, glanced at the empty pockets on Lin Hao’s body, and upon seeing the ring on his finger with an indiscernible pattern, nearly immediately realized that this was a mysterious character he couldn’t afford to offend, and very decisively curbed his curiosity to stand guard by the door.

"What did you think?" Lin Hao smiled casually, placing the thumb ring on the table, "Since you are a professor, you must have a good eye, take a look."

Nangong Wan’er stood aside full of anticipation, staring eagerly at He Mai, wanting to know just what kind of treasure Lin Hao had brought.

He Mai took a deep breath, her brow slightly furrowed, revealing an unmistakable impatience.

She casually picked up the thumb ring but after only one glance, quickly and carefully placed it on the red cloth to one side, hurriedly put on her gloves, and meticulously brushed it back and forth several times with a fine brush.

"How could you casually bring out such a precious item!?" He Mai’s tone was full of distress: "A tiny scratch could devalue this priceless treasure!"

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows: "Not bad, those penetrating eyes, instantly seeing its true value."
