Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Miki Chaoyang was now very sure that Ye Feng had gotten his bid in advance.
He kept thinking about the list of suspects. Which b*stard dared to betray him? He would definitely tear them into pieces!
The announcement of the price lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. This hour was like sitting on pins and needles for Miki Chaoyang.
Every time Ye Feng won the auction and stood up to receive everyone’s congratulations, the applause from the crowd seemed to be slapping his face.
It wasn’t until Sakikawa Taro announced the result of the last item that the torment finally came to an end.
Lin Qianqian stood up excitedly and hugged Ye Feng.
They had made a total of 19 bids, and every single one of them had succeeded. According to Ye Fengs estimation, the total value of these items was at least around 800 million Chinese yuan.
They had spent less than 5 million Chinese yuan to partic.i.p.ate in this bidding. In other words, they had earned more than a hundred times the profit from this auction.
Of course, he didn’t forget the well digger when he drank the water. The reason why he could get such a huge return was still thanks to Miki.
If he hadn’t decided on these items in advance and deliberately made the auction house and Takayama s.h.i.ta cooperate with him, it would have been impossible for him to get these items at such a low price.
“Thank you for your help, Miki-san.” He immediately turned around and extended his hand to express his grat.i.tude to Miki Chaoyang.
But Miki Chaoyang could not be happy. He could not even pretend to be happy. Facing Ye Fengs hand, he ignored it and continued to sit there with a gloomy expression.
“Mr. Ye, what a good move. I wonder where you got my offer from?” At this moment, the hatred in his heart soared to the sky. He no longer hid the fact that he had decided on these items in advance.
Ye Feng hurriedly waved his hand. “Miki-san, you must be joking. Your price is confidential. How could I know about it in advance hahaha.’
As he spoke, he glanced at Takayama s.h.i.ta nonchalantly.
Miki Chaoyang quickly caught his action and immediately looked at Takayama s.h.i.ta with a pair of sharp eyes.
It was indeed you!
Takayama s.h.i.ta’s expression changed drastically. He jumped up from his chair and pointed at Ye Fengs nose angrily. “Surnamed Ye, speak clearly, who
told you Miki-san’s price?”
As he was too anxious, he did not control his voice and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Ye Feng looked at him innocently. “Takayama-san, I didn’t say that you were the one who told me. You already said that you’re my fan. How can you talk to me like this?”
At this moment, Takayama s.h.i.ta was about to lose his mind. He immediately cursed, “Who the f*ck is your fan? A lowly Chinese pig is worthy of being my idol? Tell me honestly, how did you know Miki-san’s offer? Otherwise, I’ll kill you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Miki Chaoyang suddenly stood up and slapped him.
Pa!
This slap was so vicious that it directly hit Takayama s.h.i.ta, who spun twice on the spot and fell to the ground on his b.u.t.t.
“B*stard, how can you talk to Mr. Ye like that?”
Miki Chaoyang stared at him fiercely. His gaze so sharp that it seemed like it could kill.
“Miki-san, I really didn’t reveal your offer to him. You gave me the list of prices last night and sent someone to follow me closely. I only got to know this Ye guy today. It’s impossible for me to get in touch with him in advance…”
Takayama s.h.i.ta covered his face and lay on the ground, hurriedly explaining to Miki Chaoyang.
“Shut up. If you dare to say another word, I’ll kill you now.”
Miki Chaoyang was really anxious now. He cursed angrily while looking at the others.
As expected, everyone present started whispering.
“That’s not right. Didn’t Takayama s.h.i.ta say that he was a fan of Mr. Ye? Why is he saying that he didn’t know Mr. Ye before?”
“And he also said that Miki-san gave him the list of offers last night? How is this possible?”
“Yes, the auction of those items only started today. How did Miki-san know the serial numbers of these items yesterday and give a bid?”
“Unless the auction house leaked the information of the collection to him in advance, there’s no other explanation.”
“Could it be that Miki Chaoyang had a private deal with the auction house? Are you teasing us on purpose?”
The people who came to the auction site today were all smart people. They were also very familiar with some shady dealings in the antique shop. They immediately heard a lot of information from Takavama s.h.i.ta’s words and began to size up Miki Chaoyang and Sakikawa Taro with a suspicious gaze.
Sakikawa Taro was already drenched in cold sweat.
If this matter was really exposed, then the Sakikawa Auction House could forget about continuing to survive in the future.
Seeing everyone’s doubtful gazes, he hurriedly denied, “Everyone, don’t listen to his nonsense. Our Sakikawa Auction House has been established for more than 30 years and has never done anything that violates the rules of the industry.”
Everyone was already suspicious, so they naturally wouldn’t be fooled by his words.
“Hehe, we have already witnessed the means of your Sakikawa Auction House. You suddenly changed the rules the day before the auction. If we didn’t have sufficient funds, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to enter the auction this time.”
“Yes, yes, yes. This is even more suspicious. Raising the entry requirements the day before the auction, making many people unable to partic.i.p.ate in the bidding, this is a disguised way of squeezing out compet.i.tors.”
“Looks like there’s really something fishy about this auction. Sakikawa-san, I hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, don’t even think about continuing your business in the future.”
“l do not have any other requests. My only request is that the result of this auction be nullified. We will hold another auction…
Listening to everyone’s harsh reprimands, Sakikawa Taro wiped his sweat and asked Miki Chaoyang for help.
Miki Chaoyangs expression was also very interesting. Not only did he not get a single item today, but he was also in danger of being exposed.
If he couldn’t get this matter over with soon, he might not be able to survive in the antique circle in the future.
However, he really couldn’t think of an effective way at this moment.
Just as the two of them were extremely anxious, Ye Feng suddenly spoke: “Miki-san, is there something wrong with this Takayama-san’s mind? Didn’t you pay attention to this when you invited him to be your consultant?”
At first, Miki Chaoyang didn’t understand what he meant and looked at him with a puzzled expression. When he saw that the other party was secretly giving him a look, he immediately reacted.
“Yes, yes, yes. Takayama s.h.i.ta does have a mental illness, but 1 saw that his appraisal ability was not bad, so I took the risk and used him. I didn’t expect that this fellow would suffer a little blow and his old illness would relapse. He began to spout nonsense. Sigh…”
As he spoke, he shot a threatening look at Takayama s.h.i.ta..
