Skillful Guard Chapter 555

“Eh?”

Qin Hai frowned.

He glanced around in some confusion, and Yan Li, who had just greeted his two friends, walked up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it feels like someone is trying to kill me.” Qin Hai Hai said seriously.

Hearing this, Yan Li lost his smile as he said, “Anyone in this circle in Yanjing who knows of your great name, Qin Dahai, at least half of them want to kill you to please a few powerful families, or at the very least to exchange favours, there is nothing to be suspicious about.”

“Feelings I’m still a meat and potatoes.”

Qin Hai laughed to himself.

But having come to this point, he really had nothing to regret. Yan Li patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go, the auction will start soon.”

The two of them found seats and sat down.

After the guests had taken their seats, the auction house’s host came forward and gave an impa*sioned speech, then solemnly stated that half a fifth of the proceeds from this auction would be donated to charity, which drew a round of applause.

Qin Hai opened it and looked at it. The items on the top were all items for the auction, mostly antiques and jewellery, interspersed with props used by many famous movie stars from their movies, mostly provided by private individuals or groups, just to gain some social prestige.

“Is there anything that catches your eye?” Yan Li asked.

Qin Hai shook his head and said, “I’m a bit sorry I came, it’s just some luxury items, I thought there would be some treasures.”

“These don’t count?” Yan Li said in disbelief, “Porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, a folding fan of a Ming Dynasty emperor, and this real painting of Tang Bohu, this auction is quite good in terms of overall quality.”

“At most, it’s some collector’s items.” Qin Hai waved his hand and casually tossed the atlas aside, “It’s not as real to me as a sword.”

Yan Li rolled his eyes and said, “You’re really cla*sless.”

Qin Dahai laughed.

As they chatted, the first auction item, a phoenix hairpin, was also auctioned off at a value of over half a million dollars, which was a good win, and Qin Hai mostly acted as a spectator for the rest of the auction.

“It’s not that I’m bragging.” Qin Dahai laughed, “Just these jewellery, jewellery and jade pearls that are being auctioned, give me two pieces of jade and I can carve them myself.”

“You still know how to do this?”

Yan Li didn’t doubt it, but was only a little surprised when he asked.

Qin Hai said rightfully, “There are very few things I don’t know.”

Just as he said this.

The host on the stage shouted, “The next item to be auctioned is an organ box handed down from the Qing Dynasty, of great ornamental value to play with, for those gentlemen with this hobby, this is definitely a rare item, the starting price is one hundred thousand, each increase must not be less than one thousand.”

“One hundred thousand.”

“One hundred thousand.”

There were only a few bidders, so I guess not many people were interested in this item. Qin Dahai took a look at the organ box and suddenly stretched out his hand.

“One hundred and twenty thousand for this gentleman!”

“Aren’t you not interested?” Yan Li said.

Qin Dahai laughed, “I feel that what’s inside is more interesting.”

Yan Li shrugged his shoulders.

Someone here was just about to raise the price when, in the middle of this auction hall, Chen Zheng suddenly smiled playfully and called out, “One hundred and thirty thousand.”

As soon as he said that.

The entire auction room instantly fell silent.

Those who had the intention of climbing down to play with it shook their heads, since Chen Zheng had made a bid, there was no need to offend the young master of the Chen family because of a small organ box, and thinking this, they also gave Chen Zheng a curt smile. Very often, all you need is a word and the next person won’t dare.”

“One hundred and forty thousand.”

A bidding sound suddenly rang out.

The smile on Chen Zheng’s face stiffened for a moment.

While Yang Listen Lan faintly glanced in Qin Hai’s direction.

In this auction hall, he was the only one who dared to call out to Chen Zheng in such a blatant manner.

As expected, Qin Dahai had just withdrawn his hand.

“Good, not bad, very interesting.” Chen Zheng could not see any joy or anger in his eyes, and suddenly called for another bid, “150,000!”

“One hundred and sixty thousand.”

“One hundred and seventy thousand!”

Each time the two men raised their bids, the bottom price was raised to 300,000. Yan Li frowned and pulled Qin Hai, saying, “What do you want to do when others are trying to win a reputation for charity.”

“I think this box is really good.” Qin Dahai said.

She was not telling a lie, the box looked like nothing more than an antique organ box, but her intuition told Qin Hai that there was something inside, so it was only natural to call for a price.

“Who is this guy?”

“I don’t know, he dares to raise the price with Chen Zheng?”

“Are these two having an argument?”

Chen Zheng’s face was more than a little gloomy, and there was a flash of brilliant light in his eyes, while an old man in a Tang suit beside him slowly got up, and then sat straight behind Qin Hai in his position.

Qin Dahai casually glanced at it, then raised his hand and called out his bid, “One million.”

The crowd was shocked.

This guy was spending money without pleasing people, to the point?

Chen Zheng, on the other hand, sneered, as the youngest master of the Chen family, this amount of money was naturally not lacking, so he shouted very directly and decisively, “Two million.”

“Three.”

When Qin Hai was about to raise his bid by a million.

The old man in the tang suit sitting behind him suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and Qin Hai only felt a slight tingling on his shoulder. It will be good for everyone to gain a good face for my plus young master.”

Having said that.

This old fellow chuckled, an extremely charitable smile on his face.

Qin Hai looked over his shoulder at his shoulder and then said indifferently, “Fair trade and fair deal, don’t leave after a while, I’ll teach you how to write these words.”

“You,” the old man’s eyes narrowed, more or less shocked.

Then he looked at his right hand without a trace, and at that moment he was wearing a ring on his right index finger, which had an extremely thin and short barb on it, which if one looked closely, one would find that it was emitting a blue aura in the light, obviously quenched with poison.

In fact, the poison would not kill anyone.

But it could incapacitate a person for a short period of time, and that was what had shocked the old man.

How come this kid is fine?

The poison needle was small, but there was no way a grown man could resist the paralysing toxin in it!

Only Qin Hai didn’t bother with him, but called out his bid, “Three million.”

“Four million!”

Chen Zheng said in a deep voice.

He didn’t care about money, what he cared about was face.
