Chapter 114: Chapter 106: The Struggle of 3 MenIt’s easy to imagine, all these wolves have been drooling over Sophie for a long time. They’ve been dreaming of winning Sophie’s affection, and now with Sophie’s little poem, this pack of wolves must be even more excited! However, it seems like I’m also a member of the wolf pack. Just as Lin Mu was about to seize the chaos to bid again, a magnetic voice came from the back of the hall. "I bid one hundred million!" Lin Mu turned to look and saw it was none other than Chen Shiwei, the first handsome man of Wancheng! But as soon as Chen Shiwei spoke, it caused a surprised commotion in the hall. Everyone turned their gaze to him. Chen Shiwei smiled calmly, standing up with grace, "One hundred million, I want this painting!" Lin Mu smiled faintly, "One hundred fifty million!" "Two hundred million!" Chen Shiwei said casually. "Two hundred million, the young master of the Chen Family has raised the price to two hundred million, meaning this painting is about to sell for a record-breaking two hundred million, the highest in the history of art auctions, domestic and foreign! Previously, the Guinness record was a Western piece by Van Gogh, sold for one hundred million tianlun! And Huaxia’s has never exceeded one hundred million! This is a record-breaking night, is there anyone present who can offer a higher price than Eldest Young Master Chen?" The host said passionately. Lin Mu chuckled and whispered to Sophie, "Two hundred million, huh! Ha, this Chen Shiwei is really ruthless! It seems the Chen family’s strength is indeed incredible! Also, it shows your charm is truly bewitching!" "So you’re saying, I’m worth only two hundred million? Do you think I’m too expensive or too cheap?" Sophie looked at Lin Mu and asked. "You’re definitely worth more than two hundred million!" S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Sophie was taken aback; she couldn’t figure out if Lin Mu was saying "not worth it" or "worth more"? If it’s the former, then it’s an insult to her; if it’s the latter, then it’s a compliment! Lin Mu smiled and whispered in Sophie’s ear, "In my heart, you’re the most valuable! None can be compared to you; you’re a priceless treasure, beyond any measure!" Unfortunately, Sophie did not behave like a shy little girl; she lowered her head, blushing for a while, before looking up at Lin Mu and saying, "You’re such a sweet talker! Hmph, men are all the same, no good ones!" Lin Mu was speechless, thinking, this girl, she’s not okay with compliments either... But Lin Mu still didn’t step over the three hundred million mark. Sophie guessed that Lin Mu’s bidding just now was merely to drive up the price so she could earn more, rather than actually intending to buy this absurdly expensive ancient painting! But if Lin Mu was willing to throw caution to the wind to buy this painting for her, perhaps her attitude toward Lin Mu would change considerably, maybe even willing to fund his bid, unfortunately... "Two hundred million, it seems like it’s the highest bid ever, will no one else bid?" The host asked from the stage with a small hammer in hand. "Yes!" A coarse voice came from the gallery entrance, "I bid three hundred million!" Lin Mu looked up and saw Han Si Hai walking casually from the entrance, with a fresh crew cut, walking leisurely! Following him was a guy with a mischievous grin - the very person Lin Mu had disciplined last time, Han Gan, known to be as inseparable as a shadow with Eldest Young Master Han, making people suspect if they were "good buddies"? "Hmmph, these two Han Family clowns are here to cause trouble again." Lin Mu said, stretching, ready to deal with any fights if the Han Family was indeed looking for one. "Why are these two here, I didn’t invite them, they’ll ruin the fair! I certainly don’t want one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch!" Sophie said mildly. "Leave it to me!" Lin Mu said, taking on a large task gesture, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything!" Han Gan, eyes shifty, was following Han Si Hai’s lead, with a yellow toothy grin, safeguarding his master Han Si Hai as they approached the auction platform in front of the exhibition hall! "Listen up! I bid three hundred million to buy Miss Su’s landscape painting, are there any higher bids?" But Han Si Hai’s tone didn’t sound like he was asking, more like threatening, implying "I’ve bagged the painting, anyone dares to oppose me, see if I don’t deal with you!" Han Si Hai’s rogue nature and harsh methods were well-known in the underground world of Wancheng! No one dared offend this "Han Demon," being tainted by this big devil would strip a layer off of your skin if you didn’t die! At this point, Song Suixin was also extremely displeased. Looking at Han Si Hai, his heart was furious; weren’t they buddies normally? Now, he’s dismantling the stage, not giving him any face? Jeez, that’s too shameless, right? Despite Chen Shiwei clenching his fists tightly, creating a crisp popping sound, Song Suixin knew he wasn’t Han Si Hai, he understood patience, keeping the grudge in his heart without showing it on his face! When it comes to tactics, in this limited territory of Wancheng, the Han Family still holds the upper hand. Although the Chen Family’s network is more complex, when you encounter a military man, things get tricky! Under these circumstances, Song Suixin had to endure! Han Si Hai’s sharp gaze swept across the audience below, laughing arrogantly. At this moment, the even more arrogant Han Gan snatched the small wooden hammer from the auctioneer’s hand and handed it to Han Si Hai! "Master Si, for you!" Han Si Hai took the small wooden hammer from Han Gan, and with an air of nonchalance, approached the table, looking at the crowd below, "Since no one is going higher, fair competition, this painting is mine!" "Three hundred million once!" "Three hundred million twice..." ... "No one’s bidding, is that right? All right, sold..." As Han Si Hai said this, he raised the small wooden hammer in his hand, ready to knock on the wooden board on the table! "I bid four hundred million!" Lin Mu stood up with a smile and got up from his seat beside Sophie, quickly walking over to Han Si Hai. Han Si Hai looked at Lin Mu, a ferocious look flashed across his face, before suddenly bursting into laughter, then spoke in a provocative tone, "Lin Mu, is it! You have such a big mouth, four hundred million, in RMB!" "Yes, I’m not planning to pay with Netherworld Currency!" "Do you really have that much money?" Han Si Hai was greatly surprised; wasn’t Lin Mu just a bodyguard! Why such a big tone? Although the intelligence showed Lin Mu’s identity was mysterious for the past seven years, still, he was a nobody, couldn’t possibly have scrimped together four hundred million, earning sixty million a year? Is this a fairy tale? Picking money off the ground? Could it be male escort work? But even the top-ranking male escort working 24/7 couldn’t earn such a high price, right? "What? Eldest Young Master Han, are you interviewing me?" Lin Mu said in a bland tone, "Since I dare to speak such words, all matters have been financially assured on the certification desk, and rest assured, I won’t ask Eldest Young Master Han to lend me a single cent..."
