NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17 You lose!
Li Haoran was slightly startled and said, "What bet?"
"It's actually very simple. If I can contact Mr. Song and personally go out to welcome me to the auction, then you will lose 10 million to me.
If you don't do it, I will lose 10 million to you and stay away from Xie Yanran from now on, do you think that's okay? "
When Ye Chen mentioned Xie Yanran at this moment, I just wanted to give Li Haoran no reason to refuse.
When Li Haoran heard that Ye Chen wanted to stay away from Xie Yanran, he agreed with excitement.
"Okay, I promise, it's only 10 million. It's nothing to my Li family. If you win, I will transfer the money to you. If you lose and can't pay 10 million, I will have your limbs broken. Let you live in a hospital bed for the rest of your life, and everyone will bear witness."
Everyone nodded, but no one believed that Ye Chen could do it.
Everyone thought that even if Ye Chen knew Mr. Song, it would be impossible for Mr. Song to go out to greet him in person.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, and the fish took the bait.
"Okay, everyone can be witnesses. I will contact Mr. Song immediately."
Everyone looked like they were waiting for a good show.
Ye Chen took out his cell phone and dialed Mr. Song's number. When the call was connected, he heard Mr. Song's respectful voice.
"Grandmaster Ye, have you arrived at the manor? Where are you? I'll go find you."
Ye Chen said calmly.
"Mr. Song, I'm at the gate of the manor. No staff is allowed to enter without an invitation letter."
When Mr. Song heard this, he immediately apologized to Ye Chen.
"Master Ye, I'm really sorry. It's because I was careless and forgot to send you the invitation letter. Please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked quickly to the door.
"Ye Chen, I didn't expect you to act quite like him. Do you really think of yourself as Mr. Song's distinguished guest?"
Li Haoran laughed and laughed, and everyone continued to laugh along with him.
Ye Chen's expression did not change at all. He ignored the ridicule and waited quietly.
Three minutes later, inside the manor, Mr. Song and two bodyguards were seen quickly arriving at the gate of the manor. Everyone was stunned as they did not expect that Mr. Song was really here.
What was even more shocking was Li Haoran, who was extremely surprised and doubtful in his heart. Could it be that Ye Chen really knew Mr. Song?
Mr. Song walked up to Ye Chen, ignored everyone, bowed and said with a warrior salute.
"Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. It's because I didn't think carefully. Please come in."
Then he made a gesture of invitation. Mr. Song would not tell Ye Chen's identity as a martial arts master in front of everyone, so he called Ye Chen sir.
"Mr. Song, you don't have to be so polite, please wait a moment."
Mr. Song looked at Ye Chen with confusion, not understanding what Ye Chen was going to do.
Ye Chen turned around and saw that everyone was shocked. He did not expect that what Ye Chen said was true. Mr. Song, as the helmsman of the Song family, the head of the four major families, would be so groveling to please Ye Chen.
Who is he? Everyone also speculated on Ye Chen's identity. At the same time, thinking of their attitude towards Ye Chen just now, everyone blushed with embarrassment and lowered their proud heads. In front of the Song family, they could only avoid him.
Ye Chen looked at Li Haoran and said with a smirk.
"Master Li, you lost, can you transfer the money now?"
Li Haoran woke up from the shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This is absolutely impossible, Grandpa Song, what is the background of Ye Chen, a poor loser? He deserves to be treated like this."
Someone had explained to Mr. Song what had just happened. When Mr. Song was thinking about it, he heard Li Haoran's words and said with full anger.
"How dare you, who gave you the courage to humiliate Mr. Ye? Do you want to die?"
At the same time, he released the peak of his internal energy and pressed towards Li Haoran.
Li Haoran immediately took a few steps back. He was also shocked by Mr. Song's warrior aura and said in confusion.
"Grandpa Song, look at what he is wearing. The total amount of clothes he wears is not enough for five hundred yuan. Why is he not a poor loser? Why do you still defend him like this?"
Mr. Song was so angry at this ignorant Li Haoran that he was about to teach him a lesson when a voice came from behind.
"Mr. Song, why do you need to be acquainted with a child? If you have any questions, can you tell me?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man walking out of the manor.
When he came to the door, he saw that this person was Li Haoran's father Li Gunan, the head of the Li family, the four major families. He was slightly inferior to the Song family in terms of strength, but he was still a behemoth.
Seeing Li Gunan appear, Mr. Song said coldly.
"Master Li, you should discipline your son. Why are you judging people by their appearance?"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Immediately, some flatterers explained to Li Gunan what had just happened.
After listening, the head of the Li family looked at Ye Chen up and down and said to Mr. Song.
"Mr. Song, Hao'er is right. How can such a poor loser be treated like this by you?"
Then he pointed at Ye Chen with a disdainful expression.
"Master Li, I advise you to keep a low profile. Mr. Ye is not something you can offend. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret in the future."
Mr. Song said warningly.
The head of the Li family was even more disdainful, pointing at Ye Chen and saying.
"Just him?"
A look of disdain on his face.
Song Lao just wanted to continue, but Ye Chen raised his hand to interrupt.
"Master Li, let's not talk about anything else. Do you accept this bet? Do you want to admit defeat?"
The head of the Li family said with a gloomy face.
"Since Hao'er made a bet with you, of course we agree with everyone's testimony. It's normal to lose the bet. It's only 10 million, but my Li family hasn't taken it seriously yet."
He turned to look at Li Haoran and motioned for the other party to transfer the money.
Li Haoran nodded, took out his mobile phone, transferred 10 million to Ye Chen, and then looked at Ye Chen with a murderous look.
The head of the Li family was also livid, and then gave Li Haoran a look that you know. Li Haoran immediately understood what his father meant and would find a suitable opportunity to take revenge in the future.
Today, you can't do too much in front of the public. Besides, with the protection of Mr. Song, you can't embarrass Ye Chen. However, with the power of the Li family, if you want to kill Ye Chen, it's not easy to catch him.
Seeing that the transfer was successful, Ye Chen ignored everyone's thoughts and followed Mr. Song into the manor. It was getting late and the auction was about to start.
Ye Chen and Mr. Song quickly entered the auction hall and took their seats in the first row, waiting for the auction to start.
The auction venue is similar to a conference hall. There is a huge table in the center of the stage, with rows of seats underneath, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. The decoration is also magnificent.
Now the hall is full of people, waiting for the auction to begin.
Not long after, an auctioneer walked onto the stage. He was dressed sexyly, had a tall figure, and looked very seductive. Many men were excited when they saw such a beauty.
The woman walked to the stage, smiled and said the opening remarks.
"Good evening, all guests. I am the auctioneer of this auction. My name is Liu Mengqi. I wish you all the best to bid for the items you like. I will talk about the gossip later. Now I announce that the auction has officially begun."
Suddenly, there was warm applause below.
"Now I would like to invite you for the first auction item"
A hostess came to the auction stage carrying a tray covered with red cloth.
The auctioneer unveiled the red cloth and introduced.
"The first auction item is a bronze vessel called "Sifang Glazed Lamp", which is a vessel used by ancient people for drinking, dating back about two thousand years.
Please see, everyone, the cup is square, with raised corners, and legendary mythical beasts are depicted on all sides. It is lifelike. It is a rare antique with high collection value. The starting price is 100 million, and each bid cannot be less than 5. Start bidding now”
As the auctioneer's voice fell, someone quickly quoted 100 million.
"120"
"150"
In just a few minutes, the price was reported at 430 million. At this time, almost no one raised the price. Finally, the "Four Square Glazed Lamp" was sold for 430 million.
The auctioneer was very happy and the auction result was very good, and then said.
"Now let's start with the second piece. This is the representative work "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers" by the famous painter Liu Huaishan more than 1500 years ago. I don't need to say more about his artistic value and collection value. The starting price is 300 million, and the price must not be lower every time. At 10, start bidding now”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, crazy bidding began.
Ye Chen sat with an old look, his eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the crazy quotes from the people below, his expression did not change at all, and he was obviously not interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings. Mr. Song next to him looked at Ye Chen and had no intention of taking action, nor did he say anything. .
In the end, the painting was sold to the Li family for 650 million. The auction continued, and several antiques were sold one after another. Ye Chen still closed his eyes slightly.
"The following is the 10th auction item."
As the auctioneer's loud voice sounded, two staff members carried a large tray onto the stage, covered with a layer of red cloth.
Ye Chen immediately opened his eyes and saw the auction item with his spiritual consciousness. It was an alchemy furnace with "Black Gold Coiled Dragon Furnace" written on it.
A dragon is carved on the surface, hovering over the entire alchemy furnace, which is lifelike and very well preserved.
