Sun Heng looked at Han Xing provocatively and said, “Go ahead and bid. Why aren’t you bidding? Did you run out of money already? You can continue and try to show off!”
He wanted to see how long this id*ot could last without the help of Zhao Xiyao and Shangguan Xuelan.
“12 million,” said Han Xing calmly.
To him, this price was as easy as 10 dollars. He only had 17 million dollars on hand, so he couldn’t easily reveal his trump card. He was gambling.
“You really dare to pay 12 million?!” Sun Heng gritted his teeth and glared at Han Xing. He hated Han Xing even more. If he didn’t bid in front of everyone, where would his reputation as a young master go?
More importantly, if his family found out that he had bought a piece of trash with more than 10 million yuan, they would definitely scold him for being a squandering person. No matter how rich he was, he couldn’t spend it like this!
Sun Heng pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes shone with golden light. He had an idea. He swaggered and shouted, “13 million.”
This time, he directly added 1 million without adding any more.
“14 million.” Han Xing immediately followed the price without a word. Compared to him, Sun Heng seemed extremely petty.
The people who were still talking about Han Xing changed their tune and started praising him.
“Why didn’t 1 realize that this Young Master Han had such a proud character in the past? The aura around him really has the aura of his father back then.”
“I think he’s much better than his father back then. When the Han family went bankrupt, all of you ran away faster than anyone else. Bah! Too late!”
“That’s right! The Han family doesn’t owe their partners money. The money that his father owed the bank had all been paid off when he sold his family property. With such boldness, what right do you have to look down on him?” These people’s words were directed at those who had talked poorly of Han Xing just now. Sorry, they were all from the same city. Who didn’t know each other?
They also realized a problem. Not long after Han Xing went bankrupt, he was able to take out more than 10 million yuan. Could it be that he had found a new way to make money? Not to mention that he was with Shangguan Xuelan and Zhao Xiyao, the children of such big families.
The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. They wished they could travel back a few minutes and give themselves a few big slaps. Shouldn’t they hurry up and build connections at this time? Yet, they actually mocked him? Indeed, Han Xing’s words were true, every dog has its day.
However, it had only been a short while. This comeback was too fast!
Shangguan Jin was about to go crazy with joy. He looked eagerly at Sun Heng, hoping that he would bid quickly. No matter who paid for the five stalks of blood-replenishing grass today, it would be a sure win for him.
At that time, he only needed to pay the cost of the herbs. Even if he took out 500,000 yuan, he could still earn more than 10 million yuan. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It was as if the money had already entered his wallet. He did not consider whether his son’s talent was lower than Shangguan Xuelan’s. He only wanted to quickly sell this medicinal herb.
Sun Heng naturally noticed Shangguan Jin’s gaze and cursed him in his heart. However, he still raised the bid to 16 million.
After bidding, he stared at Han Xing’s expression. He couldn’t help but look forward to it. Hurry up and bid. As long as he bid again, he would be able to withdraw his hand immediately.
However, reality did not go as he had expected. After hearing 16 million, Han Xing fell silent. The silence made Shangguan Jin shout, “16 million going once!” ‘D*mn it! Hurry up and bid if you have the ability!’ Sun Heng cursed inwardly, but he couldn’t show it on his face. Cold sweat had already begun to trickle down his back.
Han Xing quietly watched the change in his expression, but he still had no intention of bidding a higher price. Shangguan Xuelan really couldn’t figure out what Han Xing was thinking. Seeing that her uncle had already begun to call out, she was very anxious and turned her gaze to Zhao Xiyao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiyao also had a calm expression on her face. She had just pondered for a while and had long understood the crux of it. At this moment, she quietly admired Sun Heng’s embarrassment.
“16 million going twice!”
‘What the f*ck! What the f*ck!’ Hearing Shangguan Jin’s words, Sun Heng’s face turned paler and paler. 16 million was a huge sum and unless he was crazy, he wouldn’t pay so much for these herbs!
But now, he was riding a tiger, and it was impossible for him to quit just like that. Shangguan Jin was getting more and more excited. He didn’t think that Han Xing would be able to fork out so much money, and it just so happened that Sun Heng was paying for it.
“16 million going thri-…”
Shangguan Jin was only halfway through his sentence. Han Xing said slowly, “I bid 16.01 million.”
Hearing his bid, Sun Heng, whose eyes were wide open, finally panted heavily. His face was covered in cold sweat.
Elder Li looked at Sun Heng’s dramatic change in expression and wanted to stand up and applaud Han Xing. He was brave and resourceful, and he fought this battle beautifully. Unfortunately, this Shangguan Jin was too unreasonable.
“Why? You don’t dare to bid anymore?” Han Xing said slowly as he looked at Sun Heng, who was still panting heavily.
Sun Heng finally showed his teeth and said, “I’ll give it to you at 16.01 million! When the time comes, don’t try to back out because you don’t have the money to pay for it!”
Shangguan Jin felt extremely regretful, but forget it, Zhao Xiyao would probably pay for it anyway!
“16.01 million going once!”
“16.01 million going twice!”
“16.01 million going thrice!”
“Deal! Little brother, you can come and pay now!”
When Sun Heng heard this, he sat at the side and prepared to watch the show. He wanted to see how Han Xing could afford more than ten million without the help of a woman. It would be fun if he couldn’t pay it, and he would make a fool of himself in front of Zhao Xiyao.
“Alright, Shangguan Jin, I can’t stand it anymore. The original cost of these herbs is a few hundred thousand yuan, but now you’ve sold them for this kind of price. Aren’t you afraid that your family will find out?”
Elder Li stood up at this time. He did not want this young man to be blackmailed by Shangguan Jin. Besides, after what had happened just now, he quite liked this young man. He was much better than those bustards in his family.
“Elder Li, the auction is a matter of mutual consent. Are you going to stop me at a time like this?” Shangguan Jin’s expression was obviously not good. It was originally a very profitable business transaction for him, but after Elder Li said this, the expressions of the surrounding people who looked at Shangguan Jin changed a little.
In any case, all the blood-replenishing grass from the merchants in the country was basically in the Shangguan family. He did not plan to lower the price. Even if his family knew about it, he would just pay a little bit more money for the herbs. Thinking of this, Shangguan Jin completely relaxed.
Shangguan Xuelan had been watching the entire process. She naturally wouldn’t let Han Xing suffer such a huge loss especially if her relative was the cause of it. She saw that Han Xing was really starting to take out his bank card, so she quickly grabbed him and whispered.
“Don’t worry. If it doesn’t work out, 1’11 steal it from the pharmacy tonight.. Don’t be a sucker and pay 16 million for this!”
