Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 524 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

He suddenly realized that what Lin Fan had said earlier might not be false. Thinking of this, Li Weihai's heart was filled with fear, and he decided to leave this place immediately.

"What to do? Run!"

Just as he was about to act, a voice came from behind him: "You are afraid of his revenge, right? If you need help, I can provide it."

Li Weihai trembled with fear, turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

"No, I don't need help. I'll be out of here in a minute."

Despite his fear, Li Weihai remained rational, knowing that sudden assistance often concealed a bigger conspiracy.

"During the auction, for security reasons, no free entry or exit is allowed."

The man looked at him calmly and said, "So, you can't leave now."

Li Weihai's face suddenly changed when he heard this. Can't leave?

"Then when can we leave?" he stammered.

"Tomorrow," the man replied briefly.

"Tomorrow?" Li Weihai repeated, feeling a wave of panic. The auction was over. Would Lin Fan come after him right away?

"If you want to live, do as I say." The man stared at him with an unquestionable look in his eyes.

"You... who are you?" Li Weihai asked with his eyes wide open.

"What do you want to know?" the man asked.

"There are too many people here, come talk to me outside. This is your only chance to survive, so think it over carefully." After saying that, the man turned and walked out.

Li Weihai looked at his back, then glanced at Lin Fan who was not far away. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally followed him out.

"Who are you?" Li Weihai asked anxiously as he stepped out of the house.

"How can I help you if you don't trust me?"

The man said calmly, "Aren't I supposed to help you deal with Lin Fan?"

"Huh, do you think I'm a fool? Why would you help me deal with him for no reason?" Li Weihai questioned with a sneer.

"You have a grudge against him, don't you?" the man said bluntly.

"good."

"I have a history with him, but since we've run into each other here, how about we work together to keep him on the high seas? You Chinese have a saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' I think we can work together."

"Why should I believe you can do it?" Li Weihai's heart was moved. If someone really wanted to deal with Lin Fan, he would certainly be happy to see it happen. As long as Lin Fan was gone, he would be safe.

"So many important people came to greet him just now, which shows that he is really capable."

The man pulled out a gold-rimmed business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Weihai: "The information on this should reassure you."

At the same time, the auction was still going on. Lin Fan and Qin Ruxue remained seated and did not go to the front row.

Saidiel came on stage again, looked around, and his eyes lingered on Lin Fan for a moment before moving away.

"Now let's move on to the second half of the auction..."

As the lots were unveiled one by one, prices gradually climbed. The second half of the auction was always the highlight, and prices in the hundreds of millions were no longer uncommon.

Even Lin Fan began to feel that such high prices had become the norm in the antique world. The bidding frequency of the several bigwigs in the front row increased significantly.

"Are you not interested anymore just because there's no ancient corpse?" Qin Ruxue joked.

"Don't guess blindly. I'm really not interested in that kind of thing." Lin Fan responded helplessly.

"If you don't believe me, you can monitor my research process," he added.

"I'm not that curious." Qin Ruxue refused with a smile.

"Then study it carefully, and do whatever you want to do," she said.

Lin Fan shrugged lightly, looking indifferent, as if to say: If you don't believe it, forget it.

At this time, auctioneer Sadier raised his voice: "The next lot is from China - I believe everyone should be familiar with it, so I don't need to introduce it in detail."

Hearing the word "Huaguo," Lin Fan raised his head. Soon, assistants brought an object covered in red cloth to the stage.

"Today, there are many Chinese friends here. I wonder if you would like to take it home?" Saidil said as he lifted the red cloth, revealing an exquisite dragon head sculpture.

"Is this the dragon head?"

"Could it be the dragon from the Chinese zodiac?" Murmurs arose among the audience.

Apparently, the images of the twelve zodiac animals are not only well-known in China, but also highly recognized around the world. Lin Fan sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the dragon head in front of him, and his heart trembled slightly.

Qin Ruxue whispered beside him, "It seems it has appeared this year as well."

"And the most mysterious one is the dragon head - it is said that its whereabouts are still unknown."

There was a hint of surprise in Qin Ruxue's voice.

Lin Fan did not respond. He used his mental power to carefully examine the dragon head and confirmed that it was an ordinary copper product that had once been part of a garden fountain.

But the work is unusual because of its symbolic meaning.

"Do you think this dragon head is real?" Qin Ruxue asked again.

"Who knows? I'm just a newbie."

Lin Fan shook his head, but he had already sensed a subtle energy fluctuation on the dragon's head, and he already had an idea in his mind.

"Since it appears here, it must be true, right?"

Qin Ruoxue guessed, "This dragon head will definitely trigger a bidding frenzy."

"Chinese people will definitely want to buy it back, and many non-Chinese people will also want to collect it. After all, this is not an ordinary thing." Qin Ruxue continued.

"So are you planning to take pictures?" Lin Fan asked her.

"No, I don't have that ability."

Qin Ruxue shook her head: "Besides, this thing can't be taken back casually, at least not so easily."

"You can't sell it even if you bring it back, right?"

Lin Fan smiled, understanding her concerns. National treasures should not be brought back to China without permission. Even when abroad, one must be especially careful when handling Chinese cultural relics.

"Do you have any idea of ​​bidding?" Qin Ruxue asked him curiously.

"I do have an idea, but the price will definitely not be cheap." Lin Fan reminded, while also thinking about whether he had such an idea.

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Let's see what the situation is first. There's no rush."

Auctioneer Saidiel announced: "The starting price for the dragon head is 100 million."

“Each increase in price must be at least five million,” he added.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd: "Wow, the starting price has reached 100 million?"

Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "I remember those animal heads weren't this expensive before."

He looked at Qin Ruxue in confusion.

"Rare things are naturally valuable, and 'dragon' has a special meaning to the Chinese people," Qin Ruxue explained.

"I believe that when the last animal head appears, its price will definitely be higher than that of the dragon head," she continued.

"That's right." Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

Soon, someone in the front row started bidding: "One hundred and ten million!"

Then came the sound of continuous quotations:

"One hundred and fifteen million!"

"One hundred and twenty million!"
