Chapter 65 "Psychology" Kills People
The entire room fell silent instantly.
No one expected the conflict to escalate to this point.
It's clear that Meng Hui must have thoroughly hated Yun Chen.
But thinking about it, it's quite normal. Everyone knows that Meng Hui is pursuing Lin Ruoxi, and at this moment Lin Ruoxi is sitting next to Yun Chen. This is something that no man can accept.
"Young Master Meng! Are you crazy?"
Lin Ruoxi stood up angrily, staring at Meng Hui with hostility.
Seeing this, Meng Hui was consumed by jealousy.
"Miss Lin, I meant no offense, I just wanted to expose this pretentious guy for you. He has no right to have you accompany him."
Just as Lin Ruoxi was about to speak, her right hand was grabbed.
"Miss Lin, there's no need to get angry over this kind of person."
In all my years, apart from normal social interactions, I've never been held hands by a member of the opposite sex.
Lin Ruoxi's delicate body trembled slightly. She wanted to shrink back, but she was afraid of embarrassing Yun Chen, so she could only pretend not to care and let Yun Chen gently knead her.
"Yes, Young Master Chen is right!"
Even though her voice was calm, her heart was churning with emotions.
This guy... is such a lecher!
This action nearly drove Meng Hui to the brink of collapse.
That was the goddess I'd been idolizing for half a year, and that guy actually touched my hand on our first meeting?
Moreover, Yun Chen was clearly taking advantage of the situation and was playing with it!
"Hold!"
He stood up abruptly and pointed at Yun Chen.
"Do you fucking dare to gamble or not?"
Yun Chen had just noticed that Lin Ruoxi seemed eager to befriend him, so he touched her hand. This gesture was partly to test Lin Ruoxi, and partly to provoke Meng Hui.
People only become more brainless when they lose their reason.
But Yun Chen kept telling himself that apart from these two aspects, he definitely had no intention of taking advantage of anyone.
He smiled at Meng Hui and slowly raised his middle finger.
"This is childish betting, hardly worthy of serious consideration. Do you dare to bet something bigger?"
The entire room fell silent instantly.
Even Lin Ruoxi, who had been slowly withdrawing her hand, widened her beautiful eyes at this moment.
She didn't feel anything as Yun Chen gently tickled her palm.
Su Luowei rolled her eyes in anger, realizing that Yun Chen was trying to put on a big show in front of Lin Ruoxi.
"Pah! Shameless!"
She silently cursed in her heart.
Meng Hui, already enraged, nodded without thinking.
"Okay! Go ahead and say it!"
Yun Chen said calmly, "Besides kneeling down, I'll bet you another 1.5 billion!"
These words shocked the entire audience.
Everyone forgot to breathe at that moment.
Something with a starting bid of 600 million has a stake of 1.5 billion?
This effectively raised the starting price of the Xuanhuang Cauldron to 2.1 billion.
This is simply unheard of, unprecedented in history!
Meng Hui was stunned; this number was beyond his control.
Su Luowei felt her head buzz, and looked at Yun Chen, who was courting death, with a sense of utter despair.
If the Su family helps Yun Chen this time, it won't be a small amount.
Yun Chen seemed to know what she was thinking, and turned back to give her a relaxed smile.
"Don't worry! Your man can handle it!"
As he finished speaking, he turned to look at Meng Hui, took Lin Ruoxi's hand, and shook it.
"Have you thought it through? If you're too scared, then get lost!"
Meng Hui was trembling all over, panting heavily, his heart filled with boundless rage, but his eyes were fixed on Yun Chen.
The stares of those around him made his face burn. If he didn't dare to gamble, how could he ever establish himself in Canghai City again?
However, he suddenly noticed that Yun Chen's gaze was unsteady, and his right hand, which was in his pants pocket, seemed to be trembling slightly.
wrong!
This kid is playing mind games. He's feeling insecure, which is why it's showing in his physical reactions.
As long as I don't dare to gamble, he can easily take the Xuanhuang Cauldron.
This also shows that he definitely doesn't have much money.
As a member of a large family, psychology is a required course.
Meng Hui thought he had seen through Yun Chen's little scheme, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, alright! Let's make a bet! Whoever goes back on their word or can't keep their promise will leave their head behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chen's face was filled with shock.
"You actually dared to bet? That's awesome!"
Yun Chen gave a thumbs up and turned to look at Lin Ruoxi.
"Would your Lin family dare to be a witness?"
"Ah...this..."
Lin Ruoxi was also stunned.
Things have developed far beyond her expectations.
Although the Lin family is a family of grandmasters, the Meng family's strength should not be underestimated.
Seeing this, Yun Chen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "He's hardly fit for any important task!"
Upon hearing these four words, Lin Ruoxi immediately frowned.
She was a strong-willed person throughout her life, and she couldn't stand hearing those four words said to her.
And she's figured it out now.
If Yun Chen is indeed Chen Daosheng's illegitimate son, and the Lin family can befriend him, their position in Canghai City will be unshakeable in the future.
Even if we offend the Meng family, it's not a big deal.
Conversely, if Yun Chen didn't have the ability to win, he definitely wouldn't be a member of the Chen family.
By then, even if I were to witness the bet, I wouldn't offend the Meng family.
After figuring this out, she regained her usual aloof and cold demeanor, and said domineeringly.
"As long as Young Master Chen is willing, the Lin family can naturally guarantee this bet."
Soon someone brought a pen, and Lin Ruoxi personally wrote out the bet agreement.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire hall, Yun Chen and Meng Hui each pressed their handprints.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the air seemed to freeze, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Su Luowei still asked with some concern, "Should I call home?"
If it were just a matter of not being able to win the Xuanhuang Cauldron, that would be one thing, but now the bet is so huge, and he even has to kowtow in public.
She didn't want to see that happen.
Yun Chen gently held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
"Believe me!"
Su Luowei repeatedly checked Yun Chen's eyes and found that this guy seemed to be full of mysterious confidence.
"Ugh! You're just being a troublemaker!"
She had just sighed when Yun Chen touched her earlobe again.
"I still have to watch the JK uniform show tonight."
"are you mad at me!"
Su Luowei was speechless for a moment, and her beautiful eyes rolled back in anger.
This guy is still obsessed with JK uniforms?
I'm ignoring you!
At this point, the auctioneer announced, "The auction for the Xuanhuang Cauldron has begun."
No one in the room spoke; everyone knew they were not worthy of participating in this event, which had a starting price of 2.1 billion.
Meng Hui raised his sign directly.
"My Meng family will contribute—three billion!"
These words shocked the entire audience.
Meng Hui also revealed all his cards at once.
Based on this calculation, the Xuanhuang Cauldron is worth the maximum amount stipulated by the family—1.5 billion!
He was certain that Yun Chen didn't have that much money, so instead of going back and forth arguing, he decided to strike directly and defeat the enemy.
All eyes were on Yun Chen, eager to hear his offer.
Yun Chen smiled faintly and said, "So, you have a total of 1.5 billion!"
Meng Hui was startled, not expecting Yun Chen to see through him at a glance.
"Heh, so what if you knew? Do you even have that much cash left?"
Yun Chen had just spent 1 billion, and he couldn't believe that Yun Chen could still come up with 1.5 billion in his account.
This idea wasn't unique to him; almost everyone else shared the same thought.
Lin Ruoxi stared intently into Yun Chen's eyes, as if trying to see through him completely.
Normally, the transaction price of the Xuanhuang Cauldron should be around one billion. Regardless of the bet between the two parties, the three billion has now firmly fallen into the Lin family's pocket.
Lin Ruoxi will not only be able to extract a large portion of the profits, but she will also be able to leave a significant mark on the family's auction history.
But compared to all that, what she cared about more at that moment was whether the man in front of her was Chen Daosheng's son.
Su Luowei was extremely nervous at this moment, and her palms began to sweat slightly.
Yun Chen gently tapped his temple with his index finger, seemingly deep in thought.
"Heh, all pretense!"
Meng Hui was now even more certain that Yun Chen didn't have that much money on him, and at the same time, he was pleased that he hadn't been intimidated by Yun Chen's psychological tactics.
"Idiot! Kneel down and kowtow now, and I might consider making your death less painful!"
Yun Chen's current reaction made everyone in the room feel that he had run out of ideas.
"Sigh! People, if they don't court disaster, they won't get themselves killed!"
"That kid was too arrogant, thinking he could challenge Young Master Meng. Now look what he's done, he's got himself into trouble!"
"Who told him to like being a show-off? He only got what he deserved!"
