151 Mysterious Buyer
Shi Man chuckled at the side. Seeing Shi Mu’s puzzled gaze, she said seriously, “Yes, our family doesn’t allow us to buy such dangerous things.”
Shi Mu smiled in satisfaction. He raised his eyebrows proudly at Yuan Yi and focused his gaze on the big screen again.
However, he did not expect the venue to be so quiet.
Before the bidding could happen, the guest in Private Room Sixteen raised the price to the highest. The pistol, which started at 5 million, was instantly raised to 50 million. The entire venue was in an uproar. Even the host was dumbfounded and could not believe his eyes.
Fortunately, he had presided over the auction for many years and his mental fortitude had been trained extremely well. He was only dazed for a moment before he quickly recovered and said, “50 million once!”
The entire place was still silent.
This gun was not the best at this auction. Moreover, its watery pink appearance was not practical, so no one was willing to spend ten times the price to snatch this unique pistol from the lunatic in Private Room Sixteen.
With the final decision, the host was overjoyed. He asked the staff to put the things into the black suitcase, match them with bullets, and send them into Private Room Sixteen.
Shi Mu looked at the final transaction price in shock and couldn’t help but sigh. “In the future, I’ll be angry with whoever says that I’m a prodigal. Who exactly is this person in Private Room Sixteen? Isn’t this much more prodigal than me?”
Shi Man could not help but be a little curious. In his opinion, this gun was not worth this price at all. Moreover, its appearance was too eye-catching and not suitable for ordinary use. 50 million was enough to buy a legitimate weapon that was much better than this gun.
Without waiting for Shi Man to say anything, Yuan Yi called the staff in charge of arranging the private room backstage. After a series of carrots and sticks, the staff still said with a long face, “CEO Yuan, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but we really don’t know the other party’s true identity.”
“Oh? What do you mean? How did you let her in if you don’t know her identity?” Yuan Yi was also curious and insisted on getting to the bottom of it. He only wanted to find out the identity of this strange and mysterious guest.
The staff explained aggrievedly, “The other party was wearing a mask when he came and was holding a special VIP gold card from the black market. How could we not let him in!”
Yuan Yi frowned and asked in confusion, “But weren’t you the ones who arranged the private room?”
“We arranged it.” The staff frowned and tried his best to defend himself. “But we didn’t arrange his seat at all. He was an important guest who had just arrived. Because the private rooms in front were filled, we could only arrange the last empty room for him.”
“I see.” Yuan Yi’s expression relaxed as he smiled warmly. “Then I must have made things difficult for you.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” After a few polite words, the staff hurriedly left the private room. He was covered in a layer of cold sweat, afraid that he would lose such a good job if he couldn’t explain.
After they left, Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Man. He took the initiative to ask, “Do you have any thoughts? Who do you think that person is?”
Shi Man took a sip of red wine and shook her head gently. “Our Shi family does business that can be seen on the surface and has never been involved in the underworld. How can we know such a person?”
Shi Mu felt that his sister had said it very well and nodded in agreement. “That’s right, that’s right. Our family doesn’t do this. It’s useless for you to ask my sister. I think you should hurry over and investigate. Don’t cause any trouble.”
Yuan Yi smiled without saying anything. He had no intention of going out to do serious business at all. He continued to shake the wine glass in his hand leisurely and said, “There’s no hurry. A fox will always show its tail. Moreover, there’s that group of old fellows watching behind me. Why should I worry?”
Yuan Yi was a profligate son who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Shi Mu found what he said pleasing and smiled. He patted his shoulder and said, “That’s true. You’ve just returned to the country and haven’t graduated yet. You can play for a few more years!”
Yuan Yi nodded slightly and flattered him sweetly. “Big Brother is right. I still want to have fun with you for a few years.”
Shi Mu was a little smug from being called Big Brother. He waved his hand repeatedly and really pretended to be an elder brother. He sighed and said, “Now that I think about it, school is still the freest. I’m about to graduate. When the time comes, I’ll leave my sister to you. If you don’t take good care of her, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Alright, no problem,” Yuan Yi agreed readily. He glanced at Shi Man with a naughty smile and said with double entendre, “Leave Manman to me. Big Brother, don’t worry.”
Shi Mu was naturally relieved. This was a good brother who had listened to him since he was young. He immediately raised his wine glass and said heroically, “Alright, let’s have a toast as proof. In the future, when I’m not in school, my precious sister will be under your protection.”
