319 Intuition
Hearing Cui Hong’s praise, Old Master Cui was as smug as he could be. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, but he had to suppress it in order to pretend to be calm.
“It’s just a hunch.”
He waved his hand indifferently. In fact, he was overjoyed.
Sigh, who asked him to have such foresight? Elder Zhou, who was next door, was probably furious, right?
Just as Old Master Cui had guessed, Elder Zhou’s expression was very ugly. His face was ashen as he grabbed the railing tightly and looked at the center of the stage in disbelief.
Why was there no jade at all? To think that he was still showing off in front of Old Master Cui just now. Who knew that he was slapping his own face?
The expression on Old Master Cui’s face was definitely very smug. Elder Zhou did not need to imagine to guess Old Master Cui’s face. He gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the manager.
The old man cut the remaining stones again, but no miracle happened. There were still only raw stones.
The manager was a little fl.u.s.tered now. He could feel Elder Zhou’s gaze behind him almost without looking up. He swallowed his saliva. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, their auction house would probably have to feel the wrath of the Zhou Family.
Compared to the commotion on the first floor, Xiang Yin and Gu Man’s private room was much calmer.
Although the two of them did not say anything, the woman standing behind them was already shocked.
Although the two of them did not say anything, the woman standing behind them was already shocked.
Without concrete evidence, the two of them had already expected that jade would not come out from under the stone. They had to inform the manager about this special situation.
Gu Man did not know that there were already waves in the hearts of the people behind her. She had long expected that there would not be jade.
The spiritual energy on the stone was not even as abundant as some ordinary jade. This situation was only a definite outcome.
“As you expected.”
Xiang Yin looked shocked, but he was even more surprised. What kind of extraordinary ability could make her predict the outcome?
Or did Gu Man have a strange ability to see through rocks? Xiang Yin even suspected that Gu Man had X-ray vision.
However, this guess was too unbelievable. What he did not know was that Gu Man was even more unbelievable than he had guessed.
Xiang Yin looked at Gu Man, who was not surprised by this outcome, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “If outsiders knew about your ability, I’m afraid you would have been poached long ago.”
Of course, Gu Man did not forget that there were outsiders in the room. She only said calmly, “My sixth sense is just stronger.”
Although she said that, it was someone else’s business whether the others believed her or not. Gu Man looked at the stage again. When Elder Zhou spoke just now, Xiang Yin had already thoughtfully introduced him to her.
This made Gu Man a little curious. What would the Ghost Market’s auction do? The Ghost Market’s way of doing things had always been unreasonable. Would they still be so unreasonable when they met the Zhou Family, one of the four big families?
It was not only Gu Man who was looking forward to it. The others were also looking forward to how the Ghost Market would deal with this matter.
If they found that there was no jade in the raw stone after returning home, the ghost market could still be excused. However, under such circ.u.mstances, the ghost market could only grit its teeth and swallow it.
Just as everyone had guessed, Elder Zhou did not intend to be kind. He slammed the railing heavily and narrowed his eyes.
If it was in the past, he would probably have spoken privately with the Ghost Market, but he had already mocked Old Master Cui previously. If this matter was resolved kindly, the Zhou Family would become a laughing stock in the future.
Elder Zhou would never allow such a thing to happen, let alone allow Old Master Cui to watch his embarra.s.sment with a smile.
“Is your auction not going to give me an explanation? I bid it for a few hundred million, but it’s just such trash?”
The anger in Elder Zhou’s words was undisguised. The manager wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and smiled apologetically. “This matter is indeed our auction’s negligence. This item will not be counted and the auction just now will not count. Elder Zhou, what do you think?”
