Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Qin Jia’s Conspiracy (1)

An entire afternoon passed as An Yiqing meticulously checked over the raw material in all eight Dark Bid Areas, ensuring nothing was overlooked, before having Zhang Yuksheng fetch the bidding forms from the staff.

The Jade Stone Association’s bidding method was very ancient, completely devoid of any mechanical procedures, relying solely on manual labor. Buyers wrote down the raw material codes and their bidding prices on the bid sheets, then sealed them tightly with the guest number from their invitations and deposited them into the dark box. The entire process was transparent and public, with no possibility of any cheating.

An Yiqing, holding the bid sheets, did not immediately start filling them out, but leisurely took Zhang Yuksheng and a few others to the rest area.

The Jade Stone Association’s rest area was divided into two parts: the public rest hall and private rooms. At this time, there weren’t many people in the rest hall; with only one day for the secret bidding, everyone was busy selecting more satisfying raw materials, and only a few were like An Yiqing, who had managed to check every area in just one day.

Zhang Yuksheng poured a glass of orange juice and handed it to An Yiqing, expressing his confusion, "Miss, now that we have the bid sheets, why aren’t you filling them out?"

An Yiqing took a gentle sip of her orange juice and said with a smile, "We’ll bid at the very end. Patience is a virtue."

With a head full of question marks, Zhang Yuksheng scratched the back of his head, exchanged a glance with Liao Jinglin, and sat down helplessly.

Around half past five in the evening, the day-long secret bidding came to an end.

Starting from half an hour ago, An Yiqing had been seated on the couch, staring vacantly at the north wall of the rest hall.

Zhang Yuksheng looked in the direction of her gaze, puzzled. Apart from a stark white wall, he couldn’t discern anything special.

Seeing that there were only fifteen minutes left to bid, Zhang Yuksheng gently called out, "Miss? You..."

Before he could finish, a large hand landed on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Gu Yelin standing beside him, shaking his head at him.

"She knows what she’s doing, just watch," Gu Yelin said frostily.

Zhang Yuksheng was taken aback and, under the man’s formidable presence, couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

At this moment, An Yiqing was not just staring blankly; she was using her penetrating vision to see through walls. Next to the rest hall was the core staff’s office for the Jade Stone Association, and also where the bidding box was kept. She activated her vital energy, allowing her gaze to travel past the thick walls and the thick door, directly onto the bidding box inside.

Inside the sizable bidding box lay countless sealed bid sheets, each marked with the invitation numbers of all the guests. With no names attached, even if one wished to tamper with them, there was no way to begin. But this was not what concerned An Yiqing; her goal was to ensure she secured each piece of raw material she had set her sights on.

After twenty minutes of persistent scrutiny, An Yiqing’s clear eyes grew more captivating, swiftly imprinting the information she witnessed onto her mind. The dense numbers on those bid sheets might take at least a month for others to memorize, but for An Yiqing, who had access to the Ancient Space, it was a matter of mere minutes.

After a while, she withdrew her gaze, rubbed her slightly sore eyes, turned her head to grab the bid sheet and, with a sweep of her pen, started writing rapidly.

Zhang Yuksheng and Liao Jinglin watched, dumbfounded, as An Yiqing wrote vigorously, completely unable to fathom what she was doing.

Meanwhile, Gu Yelin gave the girl a deep look, a flicker of concern crossing his icy eyes.

...

At twenty-nine minutes past five, Zhang Yuksheng arrived just in time to deposit the last bid sheet from among the guests into the box.

Everything was settled, and all that remained was the revelation the next day. An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, along with their group, left the trading hall and headed towards the exit.

No sooner had they walked a short distance than An Yiqing’s pace came to a slow halt, looking at the figure of Gu Siqing blocking her path ahead.
