Chapter 187: Sold for One Billion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, everyone in the auction hall discussed Mo Zhu’s bid in unison. Seeing that no one was raising the bid anymore, the host stood still again and raised the microphone with a trembling voice as he said, “One trillion going once.”

“One trillion going twice.”

“One trillion…”

“Wait!” Before the host could finish bidding, Lu Zheng interrupted him coldly.

He pinched his glabella and looked at Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu across the corridor with a dark expression. He gritted his teeth and said, “Who knows if they have gathered enough funds to pay such a high price. If they don’t have money and continue to puff themselves up at their own cost, won’t everyone else lose the chance to bid?”

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Zheng raised his hand and continued, “This spirit herb has been auctioned at such a high price. I request them to pay first before they are allowed to have it. They are to pay now.”

It was not unreasonable for Lu Zheng’s expression to be ugly now. He had prepared sufficient funds to compete with Mo Zhu for the spirit herb on the stage. Originally, he had thought that even if he could not get the spirit herb, he would at least be able to equal the Huo family in terms of raising the price.

He did not expect Mo Zhu to ask for such a high price the moment she opened her mouth. Not to mention that it would be difficult for him to gather a trillion in a short period of time, even if he mortgaged the entire Lu family, he could not guarantee that the market value of it would be above a trillion.

Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s doubts, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows noncommittally and looked at the host on the stage without any fear. She said loudly, “Continue with the hammer strike. Since no one is raising the price, I will naturally pay for it in front of everyone after the hammer has been struck. It will also make some petty people feel more relieved.”

“You!” Lu Zheng’s face suddenly turned red like a pig’s liver after being ridiculed by Mo Zhu.

“One trillion going thrice, deal!”

When the host on the stage saw this, he was afraid that Mo Zhu and Lu Zheng would really fight. He immediately announced the transaction of the spirit herb loudly. He had no choice. He was just an ordinary subordinate of the Gao family. He did not dare to provoke either the Huo family or the Lu family. If this matter was not handled well, he was really afraid that the family head would punish him severely after interrogating him.

He raised her hand shakily to wipe the cold sweat that had reappeared on his forehead. As the host asked the emcee to send the spirit herb to Mo Zhu, she signaled the staff to go to the private room on the second floor to look for the Huo family to make the final payment.

After the staff walked to Mo Zhu with the high-end credit card machine that the Gao family had specially applied for, she rummaged through her pocket impatiently in front of everyone in the living room for a moment and calmly took out a pure black bank card. As Mo Zhu reached out and handed it to the staff, she said, “Use this.”

The staff member who was quietly waiting by the side was clearly frightened by the domineering Mo Zhu. He thought that out of the two people, it should be Huo Xuan who was going to pay, so he consciously walked to the man the moment he arrived on the second floor. He didn’t expect Mo Zhu to take out a bank card from her pocket.

The staff member who was forcing himself to be calm cleared his throat and asked politely, “Miss, if I may be so bold as to ask what the limit of your bank card is. As our machine does not support overdraft of the card, if you…”

“There’s plenty of money in the card. You can just charge the full amount.” Understanding the meaning in the staff’s words, Mo Zhu took the initiative to continue the man’s words impatiently before he could finish his friendly reminder,

Mo Zhu glanced at the person in front of her coldly, her mood obviously bad. She was already very annoyed that the herb that could have been auctioned for five billion yuan was disrupted by Lu Zheng, who had appeared out of nowhere. She did not expect that even the Gao family’s staff would make things difficult for her.

As the two of them spoke, Xu Huan and Mo Wu had already completed the mission of transferring funds. They rushed back to the corridor on the second floor and saw the staff standing quietly at the side and operating the machine. Xu Huan scratched his head in confusion.. “Brother Huo, are we late? Which family bought the medicine?”
