Chapter 25: Chapter 25 – Finale Auction Item

Lin Rui entered the VIP room.

Soon, a waiter entered and served her some fruit and drinks.

“Thank you.”

After tipping the waiter, Lin Rui turned around to look at the items that were put up for auction today.

On the other hand, the older bodyguard returned to the entrance of the auction where the younger one asked, “Brother Li, why did you let the person in, what if she’s not Miss Lin Rui?”

“If she isn’t Miss Lin Rui, the worst that she can do is create trouble inside. I’ve already gotten someone to guard that room. If she’s really Miss Lin Rui and we stop her from entering…”

Brother Li looked at his colleague and said, “We’ll have to pack up and leave then.”

Everyone knew that Lin Zikang was a shareholder of the antique mall!

Besides, the Lin Family had an extraordinary status in Jin City.

The younger bodyguard had a sudden realization, and he felt that indeed, older people were more experienced.

However, after putting aside that issue, he clucked his tongue against the roof of his mouth and said, “If she’s really Miss Lin Rui… I never thought that Miss Lin Rui would look so good after removing her makeup.”

“Stop drooling and perk yourself up. Regardless of whether she’s attractive or not, she’s not someone we can harbor designs on!”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

The young bodyguard was obviously the type of person who was more ideal and ambitious.

Brother Li shook his head and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Lin Rui was seated in the VIP room, and her strong Divine Sense made her sense that someone kept walking in front of the room that she was in.

Although the other party had deliberately made his footsteps light, he was frequently pacing back and forth, so it was evident that they were watching her.

It seemed that the bodyguard at the door did not really believe that she was Lin Rui.

The former owner had also come to the antique mall before, but it just so happened that those two bodyguards were not the same ones who received her back then.

However, it didn’t matter to her.

At most, they were afraid that she would stir trouble.

Anyway, she was there to buy something, not to create trouble.

Lin Rui looked at the auction items on the digital screen and swiped her fingers to look at the pictures one by one, only to be utterly disappointed.

At the very least, from the looks of things alone, those items were just ordinary antiques, although they were incredibly expensive.

However, she did not rule out the possibility that those antiques may contain a hidden mystery.

After the auction items were put on display, Qi Bao would be able to detect those with spiritual energy.

However, it was said that there was a finale auction item, but the details were not displayed on the screen.

Soon, the host displayed the first auction item.

It was a blue-and-white porcelain bowl that was well preserved and had a good texture with a bright glaze.

Unfortunately, it was not what Lin Rui wanted.

Soon, the first auction item was purchased by a man who was wearing a traditional Chinese costume.

Next, one by one, the auction items were auctioned off.

Qi Bao pouted in his space and sat on the small bamboo chair with disappointment written all over his face.

He said glumly, “All of them have no spiritual energy, no spiritual energy at all!”

Lin Rui was also a little disappointed.

However, such things were all about chance and could not be forced.

Besides, it could be that the timing was not right.

When she thought of the thunderstruck wood that she had already obtained, Lin Rui’s liver hurt a little bit again.

‘Is the thunder my chance?’

Lin Rui immediately decided that she would at most visit the antique mall every weekend to try her luck.

At this moment, the host announced that the finale item of the auction today would be up for bidding.

A beautiful assistant with a shapely figure, who was dressed in a cheongsam, served up an item.

It was a palm-sized copper bell that was placed on a soft piece of red-colored fabric, emitting a bright light.

Everyone began discussing among themselves.

“Is the finale item this time just a bell? Are you kidding?”

“Exactly, even if it’s an antique, a bell is just a bell, it won’t fetch a high price.”

However, there were also people who raised objections. “Could it be that this bell possesses some kind of a mystery?”
