Chapter 135
To show fairness, the situation with the verification machine also appeared on the big screen during the validation.
Everyone could see Liu Qingsong’s asset situation through the big screen.
“Five hundred million!” With the verification, Liu Qingsong’s asset situation appeared on the big screen.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at Liu Qingsong with mocking eyes.
“Daring to make trouble on the Hong Family’s turf, he truly has a death wish.”
“This guy is really brave to do this, like a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger.”
“He’s done for now, right? Let’s see how he meets his end. With the Liu Family in Jiangcheng making such a big joke, how can they hold their heads up in the future?”
Listening to the ridicule from the crowd, Liu Qingsong wished he could find a hole to crawl into; it was truly too embarrassing.
At the same time, when looking at Ye Feng, Liu Qingsong was filled with anger, transferring his fury entirely onto Ye Feng.
In his view, if it weren’t for Ye Feng’s words, he wouldn’t have impulsively made a bid; if not for Ye Feng, he could have easily secured this raw stone. All this was caused by Ye Feng.
“Do you have any more assets? If not, then you are disrupting my Hong Family’s King Auction and the consequences will be very serious,” Hong Qi threatened coldly after verifying Liu Qingsong’s assets.
“No… none left.” Liu Qingsong shook his head, wanting to cry but without tears, his heart trembling as he looked at Hong Qi.
“Very well… According to the rules, those daring to make trouble at my Hong Family’s cannot enter the Hong Family’s public auctions again, and since this case is especially egregious, my Hong Family will detain you, making the Liu Family of Jiangcheng ransom you,” Hong Qi coldly sentenced upon hearing Liu Qingsong had no more assets.
“Please… I won’t dare anymore, I beg you to spare me this time.” Hearing Hong Qi’s words, Liu Qingsong quickly pleaded, kneeling in supplication.
“This…” Seeing Liu Qingsong in such a pitiful state, Liu Xue was supposed to be happy but still felt a bit unwilling in her heart.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Feng asked puzzled upon seeing Liu Xue’s expression.
“Honey, can you help plead for him? Although the Liu Family is despicable, I am still of Liu Family blood.” After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xue asked.
“Sure!” Ye Feng agreed without thinking.
“Honey, you won’t be angry, will you?” Seeing Ye Feng agree, Liu Xue asked cautiously amidst her happiness.
“Not angry, there’s nothing to be angry about.” Ye Feng shook his head.
Were it a rival, Ye Feng might have been angry.
But since Liu Qingsong is Liu Xue’s cousin, if Liu Xue didn’t care, he would think she’s a bit cold-hearted.
“How about letting him go this time?” Just as Hong Qi was about to execute the order, Ye Feng suddenly spoke up.
“Since this gentleman has spoken up, I’ll let you off this time.” Initially, everyone thought Hong Qi would refuse, but surprisingly, Hong Qi immediately agreed with a very good attitude.
After agreeing, Hong Qi continued, “Though you can be let off this time, because your bid was two hundred and twenty million over the mark, it affected this gentleman.”
“So, you need to take out the two hundred and twenty million excess to subsidize this gentleman’s auction for King Number 5, do you agree?”
Hong Qi was currying favor with Ye Feng, trying to procure benefits for Ye Feng.
Although Ye Feng was low-key, not wanting to reveal his terrifying identity, Hong Qi couldn’t be oblivious.
Moreover, this was a good opportunity to win over Ye Feng; he certainly wouldn’t miss it.
“Agree, I agree.” Hearing he wouldn’t be detained and that the Liu Family wouldn’t be affected, Liu Qingsong agreed immediately without thought.
“Good!” Seeing Liu Qingsong agree, Hong Qi signaled for the auction to continue: “Auction continues; because of malicious bidding, the subsequent prices are void; now this gentleman bids five hundred million.”
Under Hong Qi’s cue, the auction for King Number 5 continued.
“Honey, how did you do it? To make him so obedient?” Seeing Ye Feng solve such a big trouble in one fell swoop, with all benefits leaning towards Ye Feng, Liu Xue was stunned.
“Maybe it’s a big shot I saved before, wanting me to owe him a favor, so he specifically instructed this.” Ye Feng smiled and casually concocted an excuse.
Meanwhile, he had a fairly positive attitude toward the Hong Family of Xiyun, perhaps in future willing to assist them, enabling the Hong Family to collaborate with Li Fei, transforming the region of Xiyun into Ye Feng’s backyard.
Xiyun is near the Jadeite nation; Liu Xue wants to develop a jewelry company; in the future, she’ll certainly need to enter the Jadeite nation for procurement. Establishing a force in Xiyun is somewhat beneficial to Ye Feng.
“Alright!” Upon hearing Ye Feng’s explanation, Liu Xue had nothing more to say.
On the other side, since the price of five hundred million was already inflated, no one was willing to bid.
Plus, with Hong Qi being so courteous to Ye Feng, anyone intending to bid abandoned that thought, as they’re not willing to unintentionally offend a major player.
Hence, Ye Feng secured King Number 5 at a price of five hundred million.
“Congratulations to this gentleman on winning King Number 5 at a price of five hundred million.” Seeing no more bids, the auctioneer promptly announced.
After the auctioneer announced it, Ye Feng sighed in relief, finally obtaining this raw stone which contained a rare top-grade jadeite within.
“Let’s go! To make the payment.” After the purchase, Ye Feng led Liu Xue to make the payment.
Not only was Liu Xue going to make the payment, but Liu Qingsong had to pay as well.
Despite being somewhat unwilling and feeling a pinch, Liu Qingsong had no choice but to obediently pay.
Liu Qingsong paid two hundred and twenty million, and Liu Xue paid two hundred and eighty million, allowing Liu Xue to acquire King Number 5, which Ye Feng took over.
Seeing this scene, Hong Qi felt quietly pleased, his mood greatly uplifted: ’Haha, judging by Mr. Ye’s expression, he seems very satisfied; looks like I achieved my aim.’
“Young Master Hong, what’s making you so pleased?” Upon seeing Hong Qi seeming in high spirits, his sidekick promptly asked.
“My father will likely praise me when we get back, not only did I save the Hong Family, but I also linked the Hong Family with a super power figure.” Hong Qi replied with a smile.
“Congratulations, Young Master Hong.” Although unaware of the details, it didn’t stop Hong Qi’s sidekick from enthusiastically congratulating him.
Some are happy, some worry, and Liu Qingsong is the most aggrieved one.
Although Ye Feng pleaded for him upon Liu Xue’s request, he didn’t feel grateful to Ye Feng; instead, his hatred for Ye Feng strengthened even more.
In his view, it was all Ye Feng’s fault, and he even helped Liu Xue pay almost half the money, which made him even more unbalanced.
Therefore, he must find a way to settle the score with Ye Feng.
This kind of person does not know gratitude, can’t grasp the situation, is just like a rabid dog biting randomly.
Luckily, Ye Feng doesn’t stoop to his level, otherwise Ye Feng could easily destroy him with a breath, he should be thankful Ye Feng doesn’t take it seriously with him, otherwise not even countless lives could cover the debt…
