You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran frowned upon hearing Shao Wenzhong's words.

It seems that Shao Wenzhong is determined to take the Kusanagi Sword.

Could it be that this Japanese national treasure, which has been missing for hundreds of years, has actually appeared at tonight's auction?

Qin Ran still couldn't quite believe it.

If this sword is fake, then Shao Wenzhong would have lost a fortune by spending a huge sum of money to buy it.

While meditating, Qin Ran discovered a business opportunity.

He turned and left the bathroom.

At the same time, Qiao Ling'er came over: "Mr. Qin, the auction is about to start, let's hurry to the venue."

"Don't rush, take me to see Hong Quanlei."

"What did you want to see Master Hong for?" Qiao Ling'er asked.

"Never mind that, just take me there."

"Okay, come with me."

Qiao Ling'er took Qin Ran to the seventh floor.

There are many private rooms here, which are exclusively for VIPs to relax in.

The two arrived at the door of a private room.

The security guards at the entrance stopped him.

"This is Master Hong's rest room. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Qiao Ling'er said, "Please inform him that Qiao Ling'er wishes to see Master Hong."

Upon learning that the other person was Qiao Ling'er, the security guard turned around and went into the private room.

A short while later, the security guards came out again.

"Come in with me."

At that moment, Hong Quanlei was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar.

"Master Qiao, what brings you here?" Hong Quanlei asked with a smile.

Qin Ran continued, "Master Hong, it is I who want to see you. I want to do a business deal with you."

Hong Quanlei hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

He then gestured for the security guards to leave first.

"Please come and sit down, gentlemen."

Although Hong Quanlei was unaware of Qin Ran's background.

But he is Qiao Ling'er's master.

Qiao Ling'er recently broke through to the Grandmaster realm.

Hong Quanlei guessed that this was probably related to Qin Ran.

Therefore, he dared not underestimate Qin Ran.

"Sir, what is your name?" Hong Quanlei asked.

"My name is Qin Ran. Time is of the essence, so I won't beat around the bush. I just want to ask you one question: Is the Kusanagi Sword that appeared at the auction tonight genuine?"

Hong Quanlei's expression changed immediately.

In fact, he wasn't sure if the sword was real.

But his prestige and reputation speak for themselves.

To outsiders, the items that appeared at his auctions couldn't possibly be fake.

Hong Quanlei was planning to make a fortune with this sword.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning me?"

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to provoke you. The Kusanagi Sword has been missing for nearly nine hundred years. I don't know how you got this sword. Based on my experience, it's most likely a fake." Qin Ran said, crossing his legs.

He said that to test Hong Quanlei.

Hong Quanlei sneered, "And then what are you trying to say?"

"When I went to the bathroom just now, I heard Shao Wenzhong on the phone. He said he was determined to bid for the Kusanagi Sword tonight no matter what. I bid against him and drove the price up very high."

"I have a grudge against him. If he sees me raising the price, he'll definitely follow suit. How about you give me a 20% commission?" Qin Ran looked at Hong Quanlei.

Qiao Ling'er, who was standing to the side, stared at Qin Ran with wide eyes.

It turned out that he came to see Hong Quanlei for this matter.

That guy is so mean.

People come to spend money, and he comes to make money.

Hong Quanlei laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I didn't realize Mr. Qin had such a good business sense. He's making money off me."

"Give me a straight answer, whether it's okay or not. I don't like beating around the bush."

Hong Quanlei's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "No problem, I can agree to that, but you have to raise the price to over 10 billion. If Shao Wenzhong doesn't agree, you have to bid for the Kusanagi Sword at the price you offered."

"If he follows up, as long as it's over 10 billion, no matter how much it is, I'll give you a 20% commission."

In fact, Hong Quanlei had just been thinking about this question as well.

If everyone insists that the Kusanagi Sword is fake and refuses to pay a high price, then the sword will be stuck in his hands.

Since Qin Ran wants to get involved, then let's bring him into the game.

The prerequisite is that he has to agree to his conditions.

Qin Ran looked at Hong Quanlei across from him with a sinister gaze.

That old Deng is really a cunning old fox.

As long as he agrees, he's guaranteed to make a profit.

"I have confidence in myself, I promise you."

"Mr. Qin is indeed straightforward. Let's draw up a written agreement."

Qin Ran nodded: "Okay."

Hong Quanlei had someone bring him paper and pen and wrote down the agreement.

He and Qin Ran signed their names on the document.

Hong Quanlei also made Qin Ran and Qiao Ling'er sign a confidentiality agreement.

After they finished, Qin Ran and Qiao Ling'er left the private room.

"Mr. Qin, you're amazing! You actually came up with something like this." Qiao Ling'er looked at Qin Ran with a shocked expression.

"What's the big deal? If you can make money, why not take it?"

"But Hong Quanlei said that if you bid too high and Shao Wenzhong doesn't follow suit, you'll have to bid for the Kusanagi Sword at your price. If the sword is fake, then you'll lose a lot of money."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't do business at a loss."

Qiao Ling'er didn't say anything more after hearing that.

Afterwards, the two of them went to the auction venue.

The two found seats and sat down.

Qin Ran noticed that Shao Wenzhong was sitting diagonally in front of him.

He was vividly describing to those around him that he was going to take down the Kusanagi Sword that night.

Shao Wenzhong adopted a confident and determined demeanor.

The goal was to prevent others from bidding against him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran smiled and said, "The Heavenly Cloud Sword is mine, and no one can take it away from me. Anyone who dares to try to take it from me is just asking for humiliation."

Upon hearing this, everyone around looked at Qin Ran.

They didn't know Qin Ran.

I have no idea how much wealth he has.

It's not appropriate to make hasty judgments.

Shao Wenzhong turned around and saw Qin Ran. He couldn't help but angrily shout, "Damn it, you're everywhere! Trying to take it from me? Do you even have the strength?"

"I may not be that strong, but crushing you would be a piece of cake. Just wait and see how you embarrass yourself."

"Hahaha, you're so arrogant now, but I'll make you lose face later. I can bury you in money, you piece of trash." Shao Wenzhong scoffed.

Qin Ran didn't respond.

Old Deng was easily fooled.

Qin Ran knew that Shao Wenzhong had lost face because of Tian Lina.

Now that he has a chance, he will definitely do everything in his power to turn the tide.

He'll definitely bid wildly later.

At the same time, Tian Lina's voice came from behind.

"Qin Ran, I advise you not to humiliate yourself. Shao's Real Estate is the largest real estate company in the entire Southern Province, and Shao Wenzhong's net worth exceeds 100 billion. You have no chance of winning if you compete with him."

Qin Ran didn't turn around. He calmly said, "I firmly believe that miracles are created by a few people. I will make those who look down on me admit their mistake."

Tian Lina scoffed.

This guy is still too young.

Soon, the auction officially began.

The host took the microphone and went on stage.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he announced the official start of the auction.

The first item up for auction was a medicine cauldron.

Everyone vied for the bid.

In the end, Qiao Ling'er won the medicine cauldron for 150 million.

"Mr. Qin, if you like it, I can give you this medicine cauldron."

"I'm not interested, you can keep it yourself."

Qiao Ling'er pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

She began to feel troubled.

Qin Ran wouldn't even look at ordinary treasures.

If I can't buy him a treasure tonight.

Then I won't be able to become his disciple.

Next, the second and third lots will be displayed one after another.

They were mostly calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

Qin Ran had absolutely no interest.

Soon, the sixth item was auctioned.

The host took the microphone and went back on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next part of tonight's auction is an important segment. The next item up for auction is the long-lost national treasure of the Japanese Imperial Family - the Kusanagi Sword. Please look at the big screen."

As the Kusanagi Sword was brought to the stage.

The large screen also revealed its true appearance.

Qin Ran did not observe seriously.

He had already deduced from Hong Quanlei's reaction that this was definitely a fake.

The host spent a long time building up the atmosphere on stage.

He began by recounting the history of the sword.

Then it describes how the sword was obtained.

He described it that way so that everyone would believe the sword was real.

Finally, the host set a starting bid of 500 million, with each bid increasing by no less than 100 million.

Shao Wenzhong was the first to raise his sign: "I'll offer one billion."

Everyone sighed in dismay.

They immediately added 500 million.

No wonder he's a real estate tycoon.

Qin Ran raised his sign: "Two billion."

Everyone sighed in dismay.

This kid suddenly increased it to two billion.

"Kid, you really want to have a fight with me, huh? Well then, I'll make you lose convincingly. I'll offer three billion."

"Four billion." Qin Ran raised his sign.

"I'll offer eight billion." Shao Wenzhong stood up and raised his sign.

The moment the price was announced, the scene erupted in cheers.

Shao Wenzhong contributed 8 billion.

Qin Ran, however, was delighted.

That old man is really foolish and rich.

Go out, go out, go out as much as you want.

The more you contribute, the more I earn.

At the same time, Qiao Ling'er deliberately said, "Master, stop following us, or you'll go bankrupt."

"Shut up! I'd rather lose to this old man than to anyone else!" Qin Ran roared, feigning a fierce shout. "I'll bet 10 billion!"
