CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 249: THEY FELL INTO THEIR TRAP

Ye Ningwan, Zhan Hanjue, and Wangyue were dumbfounded when they heard "Sky Lantern."

Even more so when they heard about the next auction item.

What? It ended before it even started?

"Someone, someone." Ye Ningwan frantically pressed the Summoning Bell.

Soon, someone came over respectfully and asked, "Principal, how may I assist you?"

"Tell me, what does Sky Lantern mean? Why has the auction ended before it even started?" Ye Ningwan questioned.

The staff member respectfully said, "Principal, Sky Lantern here means that regardless of the price, the other party has claimed it. So, others need not bid; this item has already been bought."

"Why didn’t you say this rule earlier?" Ye Ningwan angrily asked.

Wangyue also angrily said, "Exactly, why didn’t you say it earlier? We would have also claimed the Sky Lantern. It’s not like we can’t afford it."

The staff member said, "There is an auction manual here; didn’t you three Principals read it?"

"What auction manual." Wangyue said.

The staff member picked up a booklet from the table, with the words "Auction Manual" written boldly on it.

Ye Ningwan, Wangyue: "..."

The two of them had seen this thing all along, but who had the time to read such a thick book?

Since they came in, the auction items were more and more novel, and they were already captivated by these items with no time to observe it.

"Is there any way to salvage the situation?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningwan and Wangyue quickly nodded; this was the most important.

The staff member shook his head, "No way."

"I want to see your person in charge." Zhan Hanjue said.

The staff member said with difficulty, "I’m sorry, I’m afraid that’s not possible. This time the owner said to keep their identity confidential and won’t meet anyone."

"There must be a way for me to meet them!" Zhan Hanjue pulled out a black card.

The staff member’s eyes deepened upon seeing it and said in a low voice, "Let me ask for instructions."

As soon as she left, Ye Ningwan immediately asked Zhan Hanjue, "Are you planning to find the person in charge and buy it from them?"

"Buying it isn’t very likely. Since they claimed the Sky Lantern, they must get it. However, with such a large plant, they might not be able to use all of it. So, we can negotiate. Moreover, to use this Thousand-year-old Tai Sui for medicine, who could be a better traditional Chinese medicine doctor than you? Maybe they’d need your help, and we might secure a portion." Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan gave a thumbs up, "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Fortunately, you’re quick to react; I hadn’t thought of these things."

"With me here, you don’t need to think." Zhan Hanjue affectionately ruffled her hair.

Wangyue, beside them, was force-fed with PDA, shook her head, and turned away.

Although she loved to eat, she wasn’t fond of dog food at all.

Finally, the person from before returned and said to the three of them, "Our owner said they can meet you, but you need to give a reason that makes meeting you necessary."

"I am Bai Zhi, I wonder if this reason is enough for your owner to meet me?" Ye Ningwan revealed her identity.

Since the other party desired the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, it must be for medicinal use.

Then her identity would certainly make them willing to meet her.

Sure enough, this person showed a surprised expression upon hearing this and quickly said, "Let me ask for instructions again."

This time, they returned quickly.

Said to Ye Ningwan, "Congratulations, our owner is willing to meet you. However, it must be you alone."

"No," Zhan Hanjue immediately said.

Wangyue also said, "No, I must go with Miss Ye."

"Only the Divine Doctor Bai Zhi can go alone, otherwise, you may not go. You decide." The woman said.

Ye Ningwan said to Wangyue and Zhan Hanjue, "Wait for me here; I’ll be back soon."

"But Miss Ye..."

"I don’t feel at ease with you going alone." Zhan Hanjue also said.

Ye Ningwan said, "But it’s the only chance. Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble; I’ll be back soon."

With that, Ye Ningwan left with the staff member.

Zhan Hanjue furrowed his eyebrows tightly, watching her leave with concern.

Wangyue was also very worried.

But, at least better off than Zhan Hanjue.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. Miss Ye is astute and also has medical skills for self-defense; she won’t get into trouble."

"Hmm." Zhan Hanjue replied faintly and said nothing more to her.

Wangyue, bored, could only look at the next auction item.

The next auction item was also a porcelain piece, but Wangyue didn’t really appreciate it, just watching for fun.

The last grand piece came up, ultimately sold for a billion.

After the finale was sold, the auction came to an end, and the host came over to give a final speech.

But many people were leaving in succession, not willing to listen to him speak.

And Ye Ningwan, after so long, still hadn’t returned.

Zhan Hanjue couldn’t wait any longer and went directly to find someone here.

"Who? Principal, you must be joking. You and this miss came together, where is there a third person."

The staff member who previously attended to them shamelessly lied, claiming they had never seen Ye Ningwan.

"Say that again?" Zhan Hanjue angrily grabbed her neck.

This woman was very beautiful, with a slender and delicate neck.

Being gripped by Zhan Hanjue did not frighten her at all, she softly leaned towards Zhan Hanjue.

"Principal, why are you so angry? Are you interested in me? If you are, just say so, no need for such anger. I’m willing for anything."

"Get away." Zhan Hanjue pushed her away.

He had previously seen Ye Ningwan follow this woman into a side door.

So, he strode toward that direction as well.

However, the security here rushed in swiftly to block him.

Seeing this, Wangyue snorted coldly and immediately acted.

These people were not Wangyue’s match, quickly getting knocked down.

But there were so many people here.

After knocking down one group, another quickly rushed up.

Wangyue was not made of iron and soon became exhausted.

Although Zhan Hanjue could also fight, his situation wasn’t much different from Wangyue’s.

The two were surrounded with no way to enter.

The woman who was pushed walked over and said coldly to them, "Two Principals, no one who’s caused trouble here can stay unscathed. I advise you to stop, and we can still send you out. Otherwise... "

"Otherwise what? What do you want to do to us? Let Miss Ye go." Wangyue shouted angrily.

"Otherwise, being sold somewhere, is beyond my control. The two of you look so good, I assume you can sell for a good price." The woman threatened.

Wangyue widened her eyes, they actually dared to sell her.

"You dare."

"Hmph, just watch if I dare."

"Fine, we’ll leave, send us off." Zhan Hanjue said in a cold voice.

Wangyue looked at him in disbelief.

"Zhan Hanjue, are we really leaving and not caring about Miss Ye?"
