"Ah! I'm going all out against you!"
Gu Youlan's eyes were bloodshot. At this mont, she could no longer maintain her usual delicate deanor. Utilizing her not-so-strong martial arts, she charged at Mu Jinyu once again, swinging her sharp nails aiming for Mu Jinyu's eye sockets!
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Would Mu Jinyu let her sneak attack succeed?
With a flick of her hand, she sent a series of slaps to Gu Youlan.
Directly causing Gu Youlan's cheeks to swell, seeing stars, and then with a thud, she fell to the ground.
Mu Jinyu examined Gu Youlan's swollen cheeks and clicked her tongue in admiration, "Now the swelling is even on both sides, much easier on the eyes."
Then, Mu Jinyu turned her head towards the trembling host and the auction's manager and said coldly, "Co here and check, see if this wench actually has five billion to compete with for that sword. If she doesn't, and if you still let her recklessly shout bids, then you better handle it yourselves!"
Under the terrifying might of the Dragon King exuded by Mu Jinyu, the manager, originally wanting to wriggle out, felt as though a massive mountain was pressing on his shoulders. If he dared utter a word of refusal, in an instant, that mountain would undoubtedly crush him to death!
Thus, the manager could only move his trembling legs, calling for soone to bring the POS machine over to imdiately verify Gu Youlan's funds, to see if she indeed had enough to purchase the fifty billion Zichen Demon-Slaying Sword.
Making such a decision was indeed tough, but he had no choice.
Offending Gu Youlan and the Su Family behind her ant at most losing his job or getting his legs broken, but offending Mu Jinyu might an dying on the spot!
Hence, the auction manager could only hope for Su Xuezhen and the young masters of several grand families who jointly created "Listening to the Rain on Bamboo" private club to quickly co and take control of the situation!
That way, he might be able to get out sooner and no longer bear the imnse pressure from Mu Jinyu.
Suddenly, staff mbers accompanied the manager, and they rummaged through Gu Youlan's purse for her Citibank advanced-level VIP card, then began to process the transaction and input the password...
Hmm...
The password for Gu Youlan's card was simple, six sixes, which they all rembered, allowing them to input the password while Gu Youlan was semi-conscious.
"Beep-beep..."
Mu Jinyu heard the alert sound, leaned her head towards the screen; the POS machine displayed insufficient funds, transaction failed...
The manager began to sweat profusely.
Initially, he had been earnestly praying in his heart, hoping Gu Youlan's card had fifty billion...
Even though it was a slim hope.
If that were the case, then Mu Jinyu would've had to pay the price.
But now...
Gu Youlan did not have sufficient funds to cover the fifty billion she had bid, aning her previous actions...
were indeed just causing trouble!
With difficulty, the manager raised his head and displayed a flattering smile to Mu Jinyu, saying, "Mr. Mu, I apologize, Ms. Gu's card balance is insufficient. She indeed disrupted your proper bidding just now. If you still want this precious sword, you can take it now for the initial price of two billion."
"Heh..."
Upon hearing the manager's words, Mu Jinyu almost found it humorous, scoffed coldly, and said, "Do you think that will allow to let bygones be bygones?!"
Speaking further, her tone suddenly intensified, "If it were just the starting bid of two billion earlier, I might not have cared—spending this money to buy back the old item stolen from my wife. But now, at this point, you still consider an easy mark?!"
Having said that!
Mu Jinyu turned her head towards Star General Jingmu, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Jingmu, go find the list of the people who filed this sword for auction at the auction house!"
"Yes!"
Star General Jingmu imdiately turned around, left the auction venue, and went to the auction backstage to find the list of consignors for this auction.
The person in charge's face turned deathly pale, feeling that the situation was getting out of control.
Because the Zichen Demon-Slaying Sword was indeed provided by Gu Youlan for the auction. If Mu Jinyu were to find out, wouldn't that confirm the auction's collusion with Gu Youlan in setting a trap to defraud people?
Who would dare to attend their auctions in the future?
The years of hard work by the young masters of Jinling's major families would be completely wasted.
At this mont, the person in charge truly despised Gu Youlan. Why did she have to maliciously bid against Mu Jinyu just now? Wouldn't it have been better to just close the bid at two billion yuan?
The person in charge still thought that Gu Youlan was acting out of spite after losing to Mu Jinyu several tis in the bidding, which led her to maliciously bid on the Zichen Demon-Slaying Sword.
Little did he know that from the beginning, Gu Youlan's intention was to severely trick Mu Jinyu. How could she possibly not maliciously outbid him?
Soon, Star General Jingmu found the list of consignors for this auction. Chapters fırst released on NovєlFіre
Then, he displayed it directly on the auction's silver screen.
Instantly, everyone present could clearly see that the consignor of the sword nad Zichen Demon-Slaying Sword was indeed...
Gu Youlan!
The crowd looked at the scene, their expressions a mix of shock and anger.
Originally, so people believed that Gu Youlan surely brought enough money, and just after the transaction failed, they thought she might have just brought the wrong card. But now...
Gu Youlan had truly slapped them in the face!
She really did collude with the auction to deceive others!
She had no fifty billion yuan, yet dared to bid fifty billion yuan; she wanted to ruin Mu Jinyu!
It's no wonder Mu Jinyu was so furious!
anwhile, another set of photos appeared on the silver screen.
These were photos from i Yinxue's seventeenth or eighteenth birthday, showing a middle-aged man handing a gift box to i Yinxue. She opened it, revealing a sword with a shimring cold light inside.
Next to them, a few young girls stood, one of whom was Gu Youlan.
Although i Yinxue and Gu Youlan looked very young and tender in the photos, they had matured by now, and the crowd recognized them imdiately.
Looking at these photos, everyone was sowhat stunned.
If these photos were authentic, then it ant that this sword was originally a birthday gift for i Yinxue.
Why then did Gu Youlan possess this sword and put it up for auction?
Thinking back to the fact that they'd t at seventeen or eighteen years old, and given Gu Youlan's recent malicious bidding against Mu Jinyu, everyone realized that the auction of the Zichen Demon-Slaying Sword might have been a sche Gu Youlan set up against i Yinxue from the start...
This set of photos was naturally retrieved by Dragon King Hall's intelligence team from i Yinxue's computer and released by Star General Jingmu.
Facing the speechless person in charge, Mu Jinyu scoffed, "So now, you still want to spend two billion yuan to buy back the sword that the wretch stole from my wife?"
The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat, unable to utter a single word.
Mu Jinyu, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, glared down at him and said, "Bring out the families behind your auction hall. If they don't give an explanation today, you might want to consider the consequences!"
"Oh? What consequences?!"
At that mont, the doors of the auction venue were pushed open, and several smartly dressed n, surrounded by nurous bodyguards, strode in.
