CHAPTER 863: CHAPTER 863: BE VIGILANT

Compared to the sellers, the buyers, although they spent some money in the first round, essentially grabbed a bargain with bare hands, making pure profits in the second round.

It’s just that, with a large investment and not being the King of Bids, the returns are a bit small while also tying up funds, which is a bit unwise.

After all, at the public auction, with the top-grade jade present, everything else basically becomes a foil.

In this way, Family Cheng naturally did not want to miss this rare opportunity.

Furthermore, when both buyers and sellers gathered, Family Cheng discovered that the person who bid for the King of Bids in the private box did not come.

From this, Family Cheng inferred that the person in that box must have some reason that makes it inconvenient to show up.

Therefore, Family Cheng felt more confident, unable to contain a slightly assured smile, and glanced at Xia Chuyi.

As soon as Xia Chuyi caught Family Cheng’s gaze, her brows furrowed.

"Fan San..." Xia Chuyi quietly called Fan San, saying, "At this point, is there still a possibility for changes?"

Xia Chuyi’s sudden question left Fan San a bit perplexed.

"Why would Miss Xia ask that?" Fan San asked her with some curiosity.

Xia Chuyi’s eyes flicked towards Family Cheng, indicating Fan San, "Look over there... Family Cheng’s expression seems a bit off to me."

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Fan San quickly looked towards Family Cheng.

And that Family Cheng, seeing the two looking at him, unexpectedly laughed indifferently at them.

Seeing this, Fan San also furrowed his brows and said, "Well... Miss Xia is right, that Family Cheng does seem suspicious."

"But the bidding is already over, I really can’t think of what he could do..."

Hearing Fan San say this, Xia Chuyi’s brows furrowed even more deeply, "Better safe than sorry, we should be vigilant later on."

"Alright, I’ll listen to Miss Xia." Fan San nodded, agreeing.

Soon, the parties involved in the bid transactions, starting from the fifth place, began to process the paperwork, sign contracts, and discuss the remaining matters.

According to the established procedure, the whole process of completing the paperwork and signing contracts went smoothly.

When the last procedure was completed without any incident, Xia Chuyi felt a slight sense of relief.

Just as she was about to leave, Family Cheng raised his hand and said, "Hold on, colleagues, I have a thought, and I wonder if I should say it..."

Wonder if I should say it?

With Family Cheng’s expression, if he says not to say it, would he really not say it?

For a moment, no one spoke, while Xia Chuyi remained calm, thinking: Here it comes.

Family Cheng glanced around the scene, and seeing no one "opposing" him, he smiled slightly with some smugness and said, "Here’s the thing, this Jade Conference, our country’s intention is to prosper the market, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi, like everyone else, looked at Family Cheng with confusion, thinking: What does Family Cheng mean by this? With Family Cheng’s character, does it seem like he would be someone considering the country’s interests?

In any case, there must be something unusual behind this unexpected behavior.

Then they heard Family Cheng continue, "Therefore, I must confess, our Jinyu Square has a top-quality jade that hasn’t been displayed yet."

At this point, Family Cheng deliberately paused.

Everyone looked at Family Cheng.

Then, with a rather ’guilty’ expression, he said, "Failing to respond to the market call, not showing our best treasure, is my dereliction of duty, I am truly sorry."
