Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Dododo~
There was a knock on the door.

"Sorry, I just came back from Lion City and won't be home these days."

Lin Guodong walked in with his wife Xu Pingfang. He looked average, but he had a gentle and noble air about him, and it was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.

As a wealthy family in Hong Kong, the older generation of the Lin family saw the changing times and felt that they could not keep up with the trend, so they chose to hand over power early and handed over the family business to their eldest son, Lam Kwok Tung.

So he is basically very busy now. Half of every month he is spent as a frequent flyer, running around in various places in Southeast Asia to manage the family business.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

Xu Yuebing called out in a pretentious tone.

Lin Guodong smiled and nodded to Xu Yuebing, then started chatting with her enthusiastically.

As the national strength of Dongji Kingdom continues to rise, the entire South Seas region has basically become Dongji Kingdom's back garden. Even if the South Seas countries are viewed as a whole, they have replaced Xiji Kingdom and become Dongji Kingdom's largest trading partner. The total trade volume between the two sides has reached more than 5 trillion.

Different from the older generation, Lin Guodong, as a young man who grew up in the new era, knows that the motherland is now much stronger than before, so he is very supportive of the country.

It’s not that his political awareness is so high, but the Lin family’s business in Southeast Asia basically all relies on the support of the country, so it is natural for them to follow the country’s policies.

However, Ye Qingzhou was a newly promoted grandmaster, and the Linjiang Xu family was a renowned martial arts family in China. Lin Guodong naturally did not dare to neglect them, and he came over in person as soon as he got off the plane.

In contrast, the other members of the Lin family still held on to the condescending attitude of the last century, looking at Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing from China with the eyes of country people, and the gap was immediately apparent.

As the four were chatting, five people came towards them in the corridor. One of them was wearing a white suit and walked with a breeze and an arrogant look. He had a high-end cigar between his right fingers. When he looked over, his eyes fell on Xu Yuebing in a very brazen manner and he whistled.

"Brother, who is this beautiful lady? Can you introduce her to me?"

"Awen, please show some respect. Xu Yuebing just came to Hong Kong from China. She is your sister-in-law's cousin. I warn you not to cause trouble."

"What? I can't even ask?"

Lin Bingwen spoke in a contemptuous tone, and it was obvious that he did not take Lin Guodong's words to heart. Instead, he teased Xu Yuebing with his eyes, which were arrogant, wanton and full of aggression.

Xu Yuebing had mastered the secret art of sword of the heart and had a clear understanding of swordsmanship, so he easily sensed Lin Bingwen's ill intentions and showed an expression of disgust.

Ye Qingzhou was close at hand, so he naturally sensed Xu Yuebing's mood. He smiled and said in telepathy, "Should I say now that this man has dared to look at you for even a second, and that he has already met his end? And in order to avoid beating the younger and then the older, should I give full play to my subjective initiative and kill his entire family directly?"

Xu Yuebing rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou and said angrily, "Do you want my cousin to be a widow?"

"Haha~"

Ye Qingzhou smiled.

He was not angry at the provocation from a useless young man like Lin Bingwen. After all, no one would be angry at an ant that could be crushed to death at will.

However, it was the tall blond foreigner next to Lin Bingwen who caught Ye Qingzhou's attention.

"He is introverted and has a hidden aura, like a sharp sword that is waiting in its scabbard. This person has extraordinary cultivation, at least at the Grandmaster level."

There is no point in talking if you don't agree. Although Lin Bingwen and Lin Guodong are brothers, they have long been incompatible over the issue of inheritance rights. Therefore, after just a few words, Lin Bingwen turned around and left to go to the private room he had booked.

But before leaving, he turned back and winked at Xu Yuebing, obviously he still had feelings for her.

Lin Guodong was angry and embarrassed. He could only turn around and apologize to Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing after he left: "Awen liked to mess around when he studied in Europe, and he didn't change his bad habits after he came back. Please don't be offended."

In the circle, Lin Bingwen is also a famous playboy. His family has to clean up for his various romantic affairs outside, and he has several illegitimate children.

Lin Guodong was helpless about this.

"It's okay. I've always been tolerant and forgiving. How could I kill him for such a small matter?"

Ye Qingzhou said with a pleasant face.

Xu Yuebing stood beside him and rolled her eyes as she listened. She had been with Ye Qingzhou for such a long time that she naturally knew that his mind was not much smaller than the tip of a needle.

If the Lin and Xu families were not relatives, Lin Bingwen would have been beaten into a pig's head just now.

After hearing what Ye Qingzhou said, Lin Guodong laughed: "Please let him go for my sake, but I have no objection to beating him up."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Lin Guodong received a call, so he left Xu Pingfang to continue entertaining Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing, while he himself had to go back to the company for urgent matters.

On the other side, in the VIP box specially arranged by Sotheby's, Lin Bingwen was still obsessed with Xu Yuebing's coldness. His lower abdomen seemed to be burning with fire, and even his blood was boiling.

"Such a beautiful woman, and she's already taken. If I could capture her, I'd let her talk to her boyfriend on the phone while..."

The more Lin Bingwen thought about it, the more excited he became. He had no idea how many times he had done this before.

Born in a wealthy family, ordinary love obviously can no longer satisfy his pursuit of desires, so he seeks more intense stimulation.

"She's from the mainland anyway. If you're willing to spend money, there's no such thing as a chaste woman that you can't get."

Lin Bingwen kept calculating in his mind.

Montano, who was sitting next to Lin Bingwen, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were a deep blue with rippling waves, as if surging with turbulent water.

"Lin, I advise you not to provoke that couple just now, especially the man."

"Ok?"

Lin Bingwen was startled instantly and asked quickly: "Montano, what do you mean by this? Is he from a prominent family?"

"No, a silver-level warrior like him doesn't need any identity or background to decorate himself. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, he is the famous 'Absolute Sword'. In the previous bloody night incident in the Fashion Capital, three silver-level warriors of the Red Moon Cult were suspected to have died under his sword."

"How can it be!?"

Although Lin Bingwen was a playboy and lustful man, he was by no means a fool. He could even be said to be an extremely intelligent man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to compete with Lin Guodong, the eldest son of the family, for the right of inheritance.

After hearing that Ye Qingzhou was very likely a powerful martial arts master, he was immediately frightened, sweat broke out on his face, and his hands trembled slightly.

Martial arts master!

Such a strong man can take your life with just a breath!
You actually want to poach a master's talent?

I'm really tired of living!
"Lin, my friend, your heart is beating faster. Is it because of him that your heart is beating fast?"

Facing his friend's teasing, Lin Bingwen's smile was uglier than crying: "Montano, you Gomans really don't have a sense of humor. Is this the time to joke?"

Now I have offended a master!

Although according to the laws of Dongji Country, even a Martial Saint cannot kill people at will, breaking the law is one thing, and enforcing the law is another.

What's more, if a master wants to kill someone, there are too many ways to leave no trace. Even if you are a billionaire, you can't sleep well if you offend a master.

Lin Bingwen was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He looked at Montano for help: "Do you think there is still hope for me?"

"Don't worry."

Montano comforted him in a relaxed tone: "If he wanted to kill you, you would be a corpse now. The reason why he didn't do it is probably because he didn't take you seriously. After all, when an elephant is on the road, it doesn't care whether the ants under its feet are provoking it."

"Why do I feel even more worried after hearing what you said?"

Lin Bingwen looked conflicted and depressed.

"Forget it. A real man should be able to bend and stretch. I'd better apologize to him later, so that he won't be unhappy one day and think of what happened today, and run to the Lin family to tear off my head."

…………

In the box, Xu Yuebing leaned her head on Ye Qingzhou's shoulder, her long black hair falling softly, and she casually opened the booklet of items and started reading.

The theme of this auction is the ASEAN Treasures Auction, and most of the items in the catalogue are various cultural relics from ten countries in the Nanyang region.

For example, she saw a jade Buddha statue from Chenli.

The quality of this jade Buddha statue is just average, and its height is not that great, only about ten centimeters.

In addition to this Buddha statue, there are also Siamese wood carvings and totem masks of Javanese natives.

There are a lot of items, but most of them are Buddha statues. After all, the ten ASEAN countries don’t have many good things, and the most produced things in ancient times were spices.

What is even more outrageous is that Ye Qingzhou saw that many of the auction items came from the Dongji Kingdom. They were all products that were shipped to the West through sea trade in ancient times, but now they have become antiques from the ten ASEAN countries.

As time approaches, the auction is about to begin.

The ordinary seats in the auction hall on the first floor were already full of people, many of whom were tourists from the mainland who came to Hong Kong for tourism. They had some money, but their status was not high enough to go to the private rooms on the second floor.

On the other side of the hall, there were staff members answering the phone. Some wealthy people were unable to be present in person, so they made their quotes over the phone.

Ye Qingzhou took a look and couldn't help but complain that Sotheby's is still not keeping up with the times. Wouldn't it be better to just conduct an online auction?
But Sotheby's arranged it this way on purpose. The reason is simple. Although BMW cars are very expensive, horse-drawn carriages can better demonstrate the "wealth" of the upper class.

In fact, the people in the VIP box on the second floor also got on-the-spot quotes by calling them.

It may seem troublesome, but in fact it is a manifestation of the privilege of the nobles in the old times to command people. This kind of "noble" service experience is something that the convenient Internet can never provide.

As the scene changed, they arrived on the stage.

The head of Sotheby's Hong Kong branch walked up with a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul. Thank you for participating in our Sotheby's Hong Kong Treasures Auction. In order to hold this auction, we..."

Next, Paul said a few polite words.

“Finally, we have prepared a dinner party upstairs, and we hope everyone will come over for a few drinks after the auction.”

When Paul went downstairs, a male auctioneer wearing white gloves and holding a gavel came up.

When the auctioneer came up, there was warm applause from the audience.

"Welcome everyone, the auction is officially starting."

"The first item to be auctioned is an icy jade Buddha statue from Chenli. This Buddha statue is 9.95 centimeters tall, has an exquisite appearance and is well preserved. It is a rare and top-quality jade Buddha statue."

"Now, the starting price is three million, and the price will increase by fifty thousand each time. The auction will start now."

When Ye Qingzhou saw the first item was the Buddha statue, he lost interest.

Xu Yuebing was looking at it with great interest: "Such a large ice jadeite?"

"fake"

With Ye Qingzhou's divine eyes, he could tell the material of the jade Buddha statue at a glance.

Although it is realistic enough, it is difficult for an ordinary appraiser to tell the authenticity with the naked eye unless it is sent to a professional organization for inspection.

But Ye Qingzhou is obviously not among them, his divine eyes can see through all objects.

Xu Yuebing was shocked: "Sotheby's is a multinational group endorsed by the British government, and they actually sell fakes?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "You are descendants of pirates. Do you really think they are honest? And didn't you read the guarantee letter we signed before the auction carefully? The authenticity of the goods needs to be determined by the buyer. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the auction house. You can't sue them."

“This is too dark!”

Xu Yuebing was shocked again. She really didn't read the contents of the agreement carefully. After all, it was too long, dozens of pages. Who would read it line by line?
That is Ye Qingzhou. With just a glance of his Heavenly Eye, he can see the contents of the entire contract at a glance.

As for the official endorsement from the Dian country, Ye Qingzhou treated it as bullshit, and anyone who believed it was a fool.

Well, there was no shortage of such fools at the scene. Many people were making offers over the phone. When they saw this Buddha statue, it was like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of fat meat.

"No. 006 offers three million!"

"No. 012 bids million!"

"Call number 055 offers million!"

Seeing the bids on the spot, the auctioneer was speechless.

Fortunately, the price of this Buddha statue was very high. Most of the tourists on the first floor were just watching the fun and did not participate in the auction. Instead, the local Hong Kong tycoons on the second floor were spending money like crazy.

Ye Qingzhou looked at the heated scene and felt that there were still too many fools in the world and not enough liars.

After fierce bidding, a mysterious person finally bought the ice jade Buddha statue over the phone.

The price of this Buddha statue finally reached seven million.

Seeing that this so-called ice jade Buddha statue could be sold at a high price of seven million, Ye Qingzhou truly felt how extravagant and debauched the wealthy people in Hong Kong were.

Backstage at the auction, Paul saw this situation through the monitor and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was not the first time that Paul sold fake goods, he was always nervous every time, fearing that he would be exposed on the spot.

Now that he has escaped danger and has received another seven million, Paul can't help but start thinking happily about where to travel next month.

It would be best to bring your female assistant with you, and on the sunny beach, share your knowledge with her and enjoy the prosperity of the world. (End of this chapter)
