231: Buying garbage with money

“I finally caught this good stuff.”

The moment the stone was cut open, a faint glow emanated from within.

Mia’s eyes instantly widened, and she couldn't help but lean closer.

Could it be that there was indeed a priceless treasure hidden inside, which was why Han Lei was so willing to part with his money?

Unexpectedly, as the cracks in the stone gradually expanded, the glowing color inside also gradually dissipated.

Han Lei’s smile instantly froze on his face, as he stared at the object in his hand, filled with astonishment.

The properties of this item had undergone a huge transformation the moment it was opened.

He had clearly sensed extremely strong spiritual energy within it earlier.

That energy was still present when he had just held it in his hand.

But now, there was nothing!

“How could this be? This is impossible!”

Han Lei was incredibly astonished.

He didn't even care that the auction hadn't ended yet and immediately shouted out.

The host on stage couldn't help but remind him.

“Excuse me, sir, we are still conducting the auction. Please remain quiet and do not disturb the normal auction process.”

And the other participants also turned their gaze towards Han Lei.

He wondered if it was his imagination.

Their eyes seemed to hold a hint of ridicule when they looked at him!

Han Lei only felt his scalp tingle.

He felt that even if these people were just chatting, their conversation was still about him.

“How could this happen? I actually made a mistake in judgment.”

Han Lei’s voice trembled.

And Mia, seeing his current appearance, seemed to understand something as well.

Looking at the stone material in his hand again, it was clearly trash.

At this moment, she could only sigh deeply.

“I know you’ve suffered quite a few blows recently, but you can’t lose your composure because of it. How can you appraise things like this?”

Mia didn't linger; instead, she immediately picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Han Lei was a bit anxious.

“Wait, let me explain to you.”

But Mia said nothing.

Leaving Han Lei sitting there, staring blankly.

“How is this possible? I’ve been appraising for so long, and I’ve never encountered anything so strange.”

Han Lei sat in his chair, lost in thought, the expression on his face gradually becoming serious.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Today’s auction ended.

It wasn’t until everyone stood up to leave that Han Lei, as if waking from a dream, took the stone he had cut open and walked outside.

“I never thought there was such easy money in this world. As long as you raise the price, you can get a 1000 yuan compensation. If only I could have this kind of work every day.”

Just as he stepped out, Han Lei heard someone discussing.

His eyes instantly widened.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was two elderly men dressed like immortal cultivators.

The other one was still sighing with emotion.

“Exactly, it’s more than I earn moving bricks at the construction site, and they even give us these clothes. I really don’t know what these young people are thinking.”

Han Lei didn't care about anything else at this moment; he immediately rushed forward and stopped the two of them.

“You said you two deliberately raised the price?”

At this moment, his eyes were wide open.

His eyes were bloodshot, which really startled them.

The two immediately took two steps back.

“What are you doing, man?”

Han Lei didn't bother to explain much to them at this moment; instead, he repeated what he had just said.

“Quickly tell me if it’s true!”

His heart was filled with urgency now.

And the two didn't hide it from him either.

“Yes.”

“We don’t know what the other party’s situation is, but they asked us to do it, so we helped.”

“Who wouldn’t make money if they could, especially with such a simple job?”

Han Lei instantly froze in place.

The two in front of him, seeing that he was no longer speaking, quickly walked around him.

“This person is probably a lunatic.”

“Who knows? Look, the stone he’s holding seems to be the one we bid on.”

“Could it be that he feels he bought it at a loss?”

However, Han Lei could no longer hear these words clearly.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own world.

“I was schemed against!”

Han Lei was furious.

His entire fortune was actually spent on such trash.

Such a thing would be unacceptable to anyone.

He considered himself very smart, but he never expected to end up with such a result!

“It’s like giving someone a taste of their own medicine, how about it? Do you still like the gift I gave you?”

Suddenly, a man’s laughter came from beside his ear.

Han Lei turned his head and saw Chen Tianming’s face.

“It’s you!”

Han Lei’s eyes widened first, then he seemed to suddenly understand something.

“I knew something strange was happening today; you maliciously schemed against me!”

“How can you call that scheming? Didn’t you set the price yourself? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Chen Tianming said, the smile in his eyes becoming even more obvious at this moment.

“Spending so much money on trash, compared to that, you seem to be the real rich person. I certainly wouldn’t be willing to.”

Chen Tianming’s words undoubtedly rubbed salt into the other person’s wound.

Han Lei’s face was extremely unsightly.

This feeling of knowing you’ve been schemed against but being utterly helpless was truly terrible.

Looking at Chen Tianming’s smug expression, Han Lei angrily threw the stone in his hand directly onto the ground.

“I misjudged today, but that doesn’t mean I’ll misjudge in the future!”

“Chen Tianming, you actually used such a despicable method to scheme against me. Just you wait and see!”

“We will not compromise with you! Sooner or later, we will get our revenge!”

This shout really attracted the attention of many people.

Han Lei at this moment was like a defeated general; he was incredibly dejected and angrily turned to leave.

Wan Yue, who was beside him, couldn't help but look at Chen Tianming.

“He yelled at you like that, and you actually let him leave here unharmed. Has your temper improved recently?”

But Chen Tianming merely smiled at this.

“Over ten million yuan is just a drop in the ocean for me, insignificant. But for him, that money is his entire fortune, and now it’s all gone. You won’t even let him complain a bit?”

At the same time, a keen glint appeared in Chen Tianming’s eyes.

He had not overlooked the key point in Han Lei’s words just now.

He said “we”.

It seemed he wasn't fighting alone, but had someone standing with him.

There were even others thinking of dealing with him.

Interesting.

The smile in Chen Tianming’s eyes became even more obvious at this moment, and he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon after, Seventeen’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Master, what are your orders?”
