Chapter 319
"55 million!" "58 million!" "60 million!" "63 million!" " 65 million!" As soon as the host finished speaking,
people in the room started bidding in an intense manner, and the price also rose rapidly However, when
the price rose to 80 million yuan, the speed slowed down, and there were fewer people who were still
bidding. After all, only a few people could afford that price, and only a few big bosses were left who
could continue with the auction. Right then, Old Mr Du, who had been silent all this while, finally raised
his card. When he started to speak, he showed utmost confidence and he raised the price by ten
million yuan in one go. "90 million!"he said. Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their jaws
dropped. They sighed in their hearts. The Buddhist treasure would probably belong to Old Mr Du this
time. In that instant, Shawn Liang smiled and raised his card, saying, "100 million!" This time, everyone
was in an uproar. Another rich person had added 10 million yuan. This type of competition stirred up
the excitement of the crowd. Old Mr Du glanced at Shawn and frowned. Yet, he raised his card once
again. 105 million !"he said. Since he only had 20 million capital remaining, the speed of the price
increment had also slowed down. Shawn then raised his card again, saying, "115 million! Old Du, why
the slow price increment? Don’t you have enough money? Haha!" Old Mr Du looked serious and felt
that things were getting complicated. He had thought that the 120 million yuan was definitely sufficient,
yet he did not expect Shawn to be competing so closely with him. Old Mr Du started to panic. He didn’t

Buddhist treasure, or if he just wanted to victimize him by raising the price. After hesitating for a while,
Old Mr Du was determined and he finally set his eyes on the item. He said, "120 million." He was going
all-in with his funds. At the same time, he was using this momentum to scare Shawn, indicating to him
that he should not do anything ridiculous. Right then, Shawn heard the bid of 120 million. He was
stunned and was frightened by Old Mr Du’s determination. Just as Old Mr Du was feeling pleased,
Shawn suddenly smirked and gazed at Old Mr Du. He shook his head and said, "Old Mr Du, it turns out
that 120 million yuan is all of your capital! With such a small sum of money, how can you compete with
me for the Buddhist treasure ?" While speaking, Shawn raised his card again and said, "130 million."
Old Mr Du looked unhappy. He did not expect Shawn to actually know about his budget. He looked
even more serious. With greater determination, Old Mr Du raised his card and said, "135 million!" He
had spent 15 million yuan over his budget, and this would have been the maximum amount that Old Mr
Du could afford. However, Shawn was obviously well prepared. He raised the price again and said,
"140 million yuan!" This time, Old Mr Du started shivering. He sat down with disappointment, shook his
head gently, and his arms began to tremble Shawn, with a victorious smile on his face, laughed and
said, "Old Du, why don’t you continue with the bidding? Well then, I shall take this Buddhist treasure. If
you want to see it in the future, you can come to my house to see it! I am not that stingy, and I will
definitely show it to you." Shawn also heaved a sigh of relief and he felt relaxed. Although his budget
was much higher than Old Mr Du’s, it was still only 150 million yuan. The 140 million yuan price was
approaching his limit. If Old Mr Du gave it another go, maybe Shawn would have to give up.
Fortunately, Old Mr Du had given up, so he was safe right now. When the crowd heard the bid, they
were filled with envy and amazement." Host, Old Du has given up. You can start the count down now,"
Shawn said with a smile on his face. The host was just about to count down, and right then, a faint
voice sounded," 150 million is my price!" Everyone was stunned and looked toward the source of the
voice. They were all outraged when they discovered the person who had raised his card was Fade
Chen. Shawn immediately snorted and yelled, "Host, he’s being completely ridiculous. How can a
purveying specialist have 150 million yuan ? I strongly demand that the organization investigate his
right to bid in this auction." The surrounding crowd also nodded. Obviously, they did not believe that
Fade could afford so much money. The host walked down and was about to say something. And just
then, Fade shook the card in his hand and said," I really don’t want to spend so much money to buy
this item. But please look clearly, the card that I raised is not mine." The crowd was startled, and when
they looked at the number on the card, they realized that Fade had raised Old Mr Du’s card. All of a
sudden, everyone’s jaw dropped, and they turned their focus to Old Mr Du. Old Mr Du looked at Fade
hesitantly. Fade said softly," Don’t worry, Old Mr Du. I will get the Buddhist treasure for you." Looking at
Fade’s resolute and determined expression, Old Mr Du coughed and said, "Yes, this is my card. I
asked Fade to bid on the item on my behalf." Since it was Old Mr Du’s card, there was naturally no

need to doubt the rights of the bidder. Therefore, the host retreated and looked at Shawn. Obviously,
he was seeing if Shawn wanted to continue bidding. Shawn gazed at Fade and Old Mr Du,and he was
hesitant. They had offered 150 million yuan, which was the limit of his budget. If he continued to raise
the price, he would be over the limit of his budget. However, now that he had reached this point, he
could not give up so easily. Also, judging from the expression on Old Mr Du’s face, the funds he
prepared should not be more than what he had. Shawn gritted his teeth and said," I ’ll pay 155 million."
The two of them continued bidding once again, and everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Just as Shawn announced his bid, Fade’s card was raised again, and the same faint voice was heard,
"160 million!" Shawn was shaken. His expression was gloomy and he seemed depressed. He shouted
fiercely, "165 million!" This time, before he could finish his words, Fade raised his card again and said
lightly, "170 million!" Shawn was on the verge of collapsing. This guy casually offered high prices. He
was completely neglecting the value of money, treating money as though they just consisted of a few
pieces of paper. "You, you.." Shawn said. He glared at Fade furiously. Fade’s expression was calm. He
said softly, "Why, Chairman Liang, why don’t you continue to bid? Or, do you have no money left?"
Shawn’s face fell, and then he shouted, "Yes I have run out of money. But I don’t believe that Jason Du
can fog out 170 million yuan just to bid for this Buddhist treasure. I request for an investigation of the
bidding rights for him!".
