Chapter 923 Fire Alarm

At this time, Song Jiang noticed that Gu Hao was acting strange, so he followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man who looked familiar... In the information that Deng Kai brought back, there was a photo of Duan Tiande, who was 8% similar to the man at the table on the right, but perhaps because of his soul change, his face had changed a little. For a moment, Song Jiang was not sure that the other person was the Duan Tiande they had been waiting for.

"Is it him?" Song Jiang approached Gu Hao and asked in a low voice.

Gu Hao nodded slightly after hearing this. At the same time, Duan Tiande turned his head to look in the direction of the few people with a chilling smile on his face. Song Jiang was so scared that he immediately turned his head back...

At this time, Meng Zhe beside him snorted, "Look at your cowardly look... you are just an old ghost."

Song Jiang smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at what you said... Am I not just an ordinary person? Not to mention an old ghost, even a little ghost is no match for me!"

The auction site was very quiet at this time. It seemed that all the guests wanted to see if there was any sucker who would buy this antique music box whose authenticity was unknown. The scene was so quiet that it was a little awkward... and Duan Tiande at the table on the right seemed to be waiting for something and was not in a hurry to bid.

When Song Jiang saw this, he said anxiously, "Everyone is here, why aren't they bidding yet? Is our starting price a little too high?"

Gu Hao shook his head and said, "Of course not... Alice is probably not in the music box right now."

"No way, where could this kid run to?!" Deng Kai immediately looked around in shock upon hearing this.

Meng Zhe, who was standing by, said in a deep voice, "I guess he has never seen such a lively scene... I wonder where he is having fun right now."

Gu Hao sighed and said, "Alice has a perverse personality and is used to being unrestrained. Now we can only use the talisman to forcibly recall her."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Song Jiang saw a familiar little figure standing next to Yan Ruxue, looking at her cheongsam with his eyes. Who else could it be but the little ghost Alice? So he quickly pulled Gu Hao and motioned him to look at the stage...

At the same time, Duan Tiande at the table on the right seemed to have noticed Alice's presence, and immediately raised the sign in his hand without hesitation and shouted, "900 million!"

All the guests were shocked when they heard this. They thought, where did this fool come from? Even if he was determined to win, he wouldn't raise the price by 100 million at once, right? ! Even Yan Ruxue on the stage was obviously stunned, but she immediately smiled and said with experience, "It seems that this gentleman is determined to win. Okay, 900 million for the first time, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

There was total silence in the audience. If a pin drop were heard, Yan Ruxue seemed to have anticipated this situation. She smiled and said slowly, "900 million for the second time... Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

Just when everyone thought that this antique music box, whose authenticity was unknown, would definitely be bought by the middle-aged man today, Gu Hao slowly raised the sign and said, "1000 million..." Deng Kai's eyes suddenly darkened, thinking, "Damn you, you have 1000 million and you're just shouting nonsense?! In the end, I have to pay for it!!"

Duan Tiande didn't seem to expect that someone would compete with him for the price. He looked at Gu Hao and the others with some contempt, then raised the sign again and said, "1100 million!"

Gu Hao wanted to raise his sign after hearing this, but Deng Kai stopped him and said, "Brother, stop raising your sign. Do you still want to buy the things yourself?"

At this time, Assistant Zhao at the next table had just finished a call with his boss outside. After Deng Yaohui learned that the thing he wanted was bought by Deng Kai, he asked him to come back first. As a result, as soon as Assistant Zhao entered the room, he heard someone bid 1100 million. He immediately looked at the collection on the table with a look of surprise. He probably didn't expect that there would be a fool to pay for such a cheap product...

Deng Kai's words seemed to have worked on Gu Hao. He did not raise the placard again, but looked at Duan Tiande provocatively. The latter had a smug look on his face, knowing that the music box would belong to him today... Then Yan Ruxue made the final decision, and the antique music box was sold for 1100 million.

The little ghost Alice was startled by the crisp hammer sound and instantly flashed back into the music box. Duan Tiande whispered a few words to his men beside him. After hearing this, the latter stood up and walked to the staff under the stage to negotiate, as if he wanted to pay the money as soon as possible to get the music box...

According to the plan of Song Jiang and his companions, Duan Tiande would definitely leave immediately after getting the music box, and they would follow that guy all the way. After he and Alice decided the winner, Gu Hao would join the battle... But what they didn't expect was that Duan Tiande did not leave immediately after getting the music box, but went directly to the rooftop.

Song Jiang and his companions followed him to the elevator. Gu Hao looked at the slowly rising elevator and asked in confusion, "What is this person doing on the rooftop?!"

Deng Kai thought about it, then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I remember there is a helipad on the rooftop of this building! He must want to take a helicopter!"

Gu Hao was shocked when he heard that. Once the other party got on the plane, he would be free to fly. Even if Alice could defeat Duan Tiande in the end, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog and there would be no return. Thinking of this, Gu Hao looked around, then came to the fire alarm button on the wall of the corridor, smashed the glass cover with one punch, and pressed the red button inside... Then a shrill alarm sounded instantly, and at the same time, the elevator that was going up slowly stopped, and when it started again, it was already running downstairs.

When Song Jiang saw this, he smiled and said, "Great, you actually thought of this trick."

"Today's office buildings and commercial buildings have interfaces that are linked to the fire protection system in the elevator room. After the fire alarm is triggered, the elevator will be forced to land on the first floor and open the door automatically, unless they want to climb a dozen floors on foot. But I think the elevator should not be able to be opened before reaching the first floor." Gu Hao said in a deep voice.

At this moment, in the elevator, Duan Tiande was standing with his hands behind his back, looking solemnly at the slowly changing floor numbers, wondering what he was thinking. The assistant holding the collection box beside him said in panic, "This is the fire alarm of the building. Is there a fire in the building?!"

Duan Tiande glared at him and said, "Why are you panicking... A commercial building of this level must have an automatic sprinkler system. If there is a fire, they will spray water to put it out immediately. But if we do this, the helicopter on the roof will surely leave immediately, which will delay all our plans for tonight."
