Chapter 22 Nalan Mingyue’s Disappointment, The Auction Begins

Yanzi was startled by Ye Wudao's ferocious demeanor.

Lu Pan glanced at Yanzi calmly, wondering how this girl's intelligence quotient allowed her to stay by Nalan Mingyue's side.

"Why don't I see your young general?" he asked.

"Do you think you can see our young general just by asking?" Yanzi rolled her eyes at Lu Pan. "Don't think we can only rely on Doctor Lu. Our young general is lucky, Doctor Sun recommended us..."

"Forget it, why should I waste my breath talking to a errand runner like you."

Yanzi didn't want to deal with Lu Pan and walked past him towards the Mo family.

Hearing her mention Doctor Sun, Lu Pan thought about it and understood.

"Let's go."

Lu Pan and Ye Wudao left.

"Brother Pan..." Mo Ziyan hurried out, but they were nowhere to be seen.

She held an exquisite sachet in her hand, her cheeks flushed, and murmured, "Brother Pan left too quickly. Oh well... I'll give it to him next time I see him."

"Hey, are you looking for someone?" Mo Ziyan saw Yanzi lingering nearby and couldn't help but ask.

Yanzi didn't recognize Mo Ziyan, but seeing her come out of the Mo family, she smiled and asked, "Sister, I need to ask you something. I heard that the illness of the Mo family patriarch was cured by a divine doctor?"

"Yes, Grandpa is much better." Mo Ziyan smiled happily when the other person mentioned it.

However, in a blink of an eye, she became cautious and looked at Yanzi warily.

"Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm. I just heard about it, so I came to seek medical help." Seeing Mo Ziyan's vigilant expression, Yanzi quickly explained, "Do you know where that divine doctor is now?"

When Mo Ziyan heard Yanzi asking about Lu Pan, she became even more wary.

After all, Lu Pan had offended quite a few people in the past few days, and if they were targeting him.

"He left after curing Grandpa. As for where he went, I don't know." Mo Ziyan had a flash of inspiration and quickly came up with a reason.

"Ah?" Yanzi's heart skipped a beat, and she pressed, "Did you keep his contact information?"

Mo Ziyan was nervous and quickly shook her head, concealing Lu Pan's whereabouts. "He has a peculiar temper, and no one dares to speak to him. How could we dare to keep his contact information?"

Mo Ziyan wasn't lying, because indeed, only she in the entire Mo family had kept Lu Pan's phone number.

Hearing this, Yanzi looked disappointed.

"You should inquire elsewhere. Maybe he's still in Qingcheng!" Mo Ziyan finished speaking and quickly returned to the Mo family.

Yanzi did not dare to delay and hurried back to report to Nalan Mingyue.

Seven fifty PM, Yun Shang Auction House.

In ten minutes, the auction would officially begin.

Backstage.

"Huang Guangyi, putting the Mo family on the blacklist is simply outrageous!"

Yun Muyi, who had just returned from an exchange event in another region, directly lost his temper at Huang Guangyi.

"President, I am, after all, the vice president of our chamber of commerce. Don't I even have this right?"

Huang Guangyi thought that with Zhang Gan of the Qiulong Association behind him, his attitude towards Yun Muyi became a bit more forceful.

Yun Muyi was so angry he puffed out his beard and glared. "To make such a big decision without waiting for me to return and discuss it, Huang Guangyi... you're too eager to covet the president's position!"

Huang Guangyi's heart tightened.

It wasn't time to completely fall out with Yun Muyi. He quickly explained, "President, what are you talking about? The Mo family used some unknown means to directly cause the downfall of Changlong Group, and even Zhang Guo died..."

"If I don't do something to show my stance, how will the companies in the chamber of commerce view us?"

Huang Guangyi's tone softened, but he cursed inwardly: Old man, sooner or later, that position will be mine!

Yun Muyi glanced at the time and snorted, "I'll settle this with you later. The auction is about to start, go and prepare!"

Huang Guangyi left the backstage.

Yun Muyi's gaze deepened. He knew that Huang Guangyi coveted his position, and he also knew that the Yun family had been declining year by year.

As the head of the Yun family, he had to consider the Yun family, which was why he wanted to form an alliance with the Nalan family through marriage.

But Lu Yuansen's son was also infatuated with his granddaughter, Yun Chuxue.

He knew that the other party was only coveting the Yun family's mineral vein, but he had no choice.

He even had to use this to balance the Nalan family and the Lu family, allowing the Yun family to overcome the crisis!

He sighed and walked towards the private room.

The guests had already taken their seats, and the VIP rooms were all full.

VIP Room 8.

"Young General, that divine doctor has already left the Mo family. Your subordinate currently has no news of him." Yanzi reported everything that happened at the Mo family's entrance earlier to Nalan Mingyue.

Nalan Mingyue showed a hint of disappointment.

"Young General, I also saw that errand runner at the Mo family's place. I never thought he would run errands all the way to the Mo family!" Yanzi began to complain about Lu Pan again.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Mingyue was stunned and asked, "You mean you ran into the gentleman who saved us at the entrance?"

"Yes!" Yanzi was dismissive. "Young General, you think too highly of him, don't you?"

"He appeared at both Zifeng Villa and the Mo family, and both times it was related to Doctor Lu. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Nalan Mingyue mused.

VIP Room 9.

"Young Master, why have you come in person?" Lu Hao, the head steward of the Lu family, said respectfully as he stood up to greet the young man who suddenly appeared.

Lu Hao, dressed in a white suit, walked directly to the glass window and looked at the auction hall, smiling. "The ancestral home is being auctioned. It's such a big event, of course, I have to come and see who buys it."

"Young Master, please sit." Xu Laifu attended to him.

"I heard there's a sapphire necklace to be auctioned today. Help me bid for it later, and send it to Yun Chuxue after it's over." Lu Hao sat down, playing with the ring on his finger. "I'd like to see how the Nalan family intends to snatch her from me."

"Young Master, I heard that Nalan Mingyue is in the next room," Xu Laifu reminded him.

"He's just a three-star young general. Our Lu family is backed by..." Lu Hao sneered, stopping his words and showing disdain.

Two minutes later, the auction officially began.

The first three items were modern calligraphy and paintings, with the highest selling for thirteen million yuan.

"Distinguished guests, the next item is the fourth lot." Huang Guangyi said with a smile. "I believe some of you present have already heard, it's a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain!"

The scene erupted in gasps. A thousand-year-old ginseng was practically an immortal being.

"President Huang, a thousand-year-old ginseng is just a legend. Don't joke with us."

"Yes, President Huang. I've seen five-hundred-year-old ginseng, but I've never heard of a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Huang Guangyi smiled, and a purple-gold sandalwood box wrapped with a red thread was presented by a staff member.

Even through the box, everyone present could smell a refreshing ginseng aroma.

"Perhaps everyone doesn't trust Yun Shang Auction House?" Huang Guangyi surveyed the crowd and announced loudly, "This thousand-year-old ginseng can prolong life, and even a dying person can be kept alive for three months. The starting bid is sixty million!"

"Three hundred million!"

As soon as Huang Guangyi finished speaking, Nalan Mingyue's voice rang out from VIP Room 8.
