Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Great Injustice

Yue Huai quickly returned, his face a mask of helplessness, "Master, we found the guy and asked him about the situation. He said someone gave him fifty thousand yuan to drug the drinks."

"That person claimed to have a grudge against one of the guests in the private room and wanted to slip a laxative into the drinks here. Thinking it was just a laxative and there was money to be made, he agreed."

"He’s not telling the truth, send him to the police station," Yang Yu said, "and have the police test what kind of poison this is. Maybe they can find out something."

"Call the police?" Yue Zhongren was somewhat troubled, "This... "

"Don’t worry, we won’t spread the word about this incident. As long as you keep quiet, it won’t affect the reputation of your auction house in any way," Yang Yu said. "Alright, it’s settled then. Mrs. Shen wants to continue with the auction, so go and bring two more cups of tea in."

Yue Zhongren: "..."

After Yue Zhongren and his daughter, along with Yue Huai, left the private room, Mrs. Shen finally snorted in anger, "Boy, I haven’t given the order yet, when did it become your turn to make decisions on your own?"

"I am your bodyguard, and it’s my duty to ensure your safety, so when we are out, you need to listen to me," Yang Yu didn’t beat around the bush with Mrs. Shen, "See, if it hadn’t been for me just now, wouldn’t you have been poisoned to death?"

"My daughter is paying you to do precisely this job, do you also have the nerve to claim credit for it?" Mrs. Shen’s eyebrows shot up in indignation, "Next time you pull something like this, you can get out of my sight!"

"Fine, I’ll wait outside. Call me when you’re done here, Mrs. Shen." Without a moment’s hesitation, Yang Yu turned and left the private room, out of sight, out of mind.

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "This kid’s got character. I really don’t know where Selin found such a treasure, haha!"

The auction continued, and Yang Yu, who had no interest in these trinkets, sat back down in the chair outside the private room to catch up on sleep.

Though his brain was at rest, his spiritual power remained highly sensitive, catching every movement within ten meters, making it impossible for anyone to attack him while he slept.

But there was someone, unaware of their impending doom, sneaking over with a trash can filled with garbage.

"That’ll show this arrogant little brat!" Yue Yao, her face full of hate, lifted the trash can high, ready to dump it on Yang Yu’s head.

Suddenly, her hands seemed to lose all strength, and the mockingly lifted trash can slipped right out from between them.

Ironically, the trash can flipped over, mouth down, spilling garbage all over her, and it even ended up stuck on her head.

"Ah—" Yue Yao screamed, and only then did Yang Yu open his eyes and remove the trash can from her head.

"Oh? Miss Yue, what are you doing? Playing interactive games with a trash can?" Yang Yu said with a look of disdain, "It stinks to death, so disgusting! Look at yourself, you even have a dead mouse on you."

"Ah— A mouse!" Yue Yao screamed again, her eyes rolling into her head as she fainted.

The sight of a dead mouse was too much for Yue Yao, who had an intense fear of rodents, especially hanging on her body—how could she not faint?

"Miss!" Several employees of the auction house hurried over and awkwardly carried Yue Yao away.

Two cleaners came running and cleaned up the garbage.

Yang Yu, who was disturbed from his sleep, couldn’t fall back asleep, and casually glanced at the auction stage, his gaze suddenly fixated, "This antique..."

The statuesque auctioneer was introducing the item, "Ladies and gentlemen, this antique is the long-lost Song Dynasty Thousand Star Sky Transformation Bowl. Let’s all appreciate its beauty!"

The auctioneer snapped his fingers, and the lights in the room went out.

The next moment, a golden beam of light shone on the tea bowl on display, and the ceiling above seemed to be filled with thousands of twinkling stars, indescribably beautiful!

Looking up was like gazing into the starry sky!

"It’s so beautiful!"

"This this this... is simply the most perfect work of art!"

"Buy it, no matter the cost."

Everyone was marveling at the beauty of the Heavenly Transformation Bowl, and Yang Yu immediately called Shen Silin, "Mr. Shen, lend me a hundred million; I’ve taken a liking to an antique."

"Okay," Shen Silin agreed without asking another question, and a hundred million was promptly added to Yang Yu’s account!

With such trust from Shen Silin, Yang Yu was deeply moved, "Mr. Shen, thank you, I’ll return the money to you later."

"Okay," Shen Silin said, "If you can’t return it by today, your service term will be extended by one year."

"Uh..." Yang Yu felt a bit embarrassed, but he didn’t say much else and just agreed, "Okay."

Ordinary people couldn’t earn a hundred million in a lifetime, let alone in one year, but Yang Yu was different.

That one hundred million bought him one year; Shen Silin knew how to do business.

Armed with this hundred million, Yang Yu returned to the private room.

Mrs. Shen was surprised, "You lad, weren’t you just outside?"

"I’ve taken a fancy to that tea bowl," Yang Yu said, "I plan to buy it."

"You actually have an interest in antiques? There’s hope for you yet!" Mrs. Shen felt happy to find a kindred spirit, "That tea bowl is worth no more than thirty million at most; I’ll buy it and give it to you."

Yang Yu shook his head, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen, but I don’t want to spend your money. Just lend me some if I’m short."

"Sure, bid with confidence," Mrs. Shen looked at Yang Yu more and more favorably, "No matter the cost, I’ve got your back."

"Thank you, Mrs. Shen, with your support, I feel much more at ease," Yang Yu nodded and turned his attention to the display, ready to bid.

The lights at the auction site were turned back on and the female auctioneer said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, the starting bid for this Thousand Star Sky Transformation Bowl is ten million, with increments of five hundred thousand. Let’s start the bidding..."

"One billion!" A voice shouted out the price, and the whole room went silent.

It took a while for the crowd to come to their senses, and they started to murmur among themselves.

"Where did this greenhorn come from, first time at an auction, huh?"

"Let’s see which big sucker is bidding like this; does he think he has too much money to spend?"

"Idiot, a complete and utter fool with no precedent and no one to follow, haha!"

Mrs. Shen was so angry her face turned green, and she was close to beating Yang Yu with a stick, "You wastrel, if you don’t understand auctions, don’t bid!"

After scolding Yang Yu, Mrs. Shen hurriedly ran to the glass window of the private room and shouted, "This auction doesn’t count, my driver is attending an auction for the first time and doesn’t know any better."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible," the female auctioneer said with a smile, "Rules are rules, and they can’t be broken. If you disrupt the rules and retract your bid, then you’ll lose your deposit of twenty million."

"Who said I’m not buying? I do want to buy!" Yang Yu stood up for himself and shouted loudly, "Miss, continue the auction, see if anyone else raises the price. If no one does, then this tea bowl belongs to me!"
