As Zheng Kai spoke, he raised his eyes to look at MO Qian’s expression. After he didn’t find any strange emotions, he let out a sigh of relief.
In the few minutes that everyone was talking, the host on the stage pushed the atmosphere to the climax.
He looked very excited and held the microphone tightly in his hand. He looked even more excited than he had been in the past few hours!
“Now, it’s time for the final treasure of our auction today! I can assure you that this item will not disappoint anyone here because it is truly a rare treasure that only appears once in a thousand years. I don’t think many of you here will recognize it!”
Perhaps to pique the audience’s curiosity, the emcee put a lot of effort into his introduction.
His eyes were like torches, and the expression on his face was unusually impassioned. When he raised his hand and beckoned to the staff backstage, it was like introducing a peerless beauty!
“Director Zheng was grateful and terrified when he received this old collector’s collection! We don’t know how this old man found out about our research
Institute nor why he donated this extremely precious medicinal herb for free.
When we received this herb, we thought it was the doing of some ill-intentioned people. Because in this world, not many people have seen the real ghost hand Lotus!”
“Fortunately, there was a very old herbalist in our Research Institute! He said he was lucky to see the ghost hand Lotus once and could help the director verify its authenticity ..
After Xiao Ting and Zhuang Ming took their seats, the atmosphere in the private room on the second floor became solemn. There was no trace of the previous relaxation and joy.
Although Xiang Nan wasn’t as bright as MO Qian and Zhuang Bai, he could sense the strange atmosphere. He felt bored!
This was supposed to be a chat between young people, and everyone was talking and joking. It was pretty beautiful, but suddenly, two elders came, and the atmosphere changed.
The pleasant and leisurely chat had turned into a symposium, making people feel uncomfortable.
As he listened to the emcee’s words, he picked up a cup of hot tea and asked Zheng Kai, “Is this thing so precious and magical? Why haven’t I heard of it before? What did the host say it was called? Ghost hand Lotus? Is it a type of Lotus?”
Zheng Kai nodded and was about to answer Xiang Nan’s question but was interrupted by MO Qian.
When MO Qian heard the name ‘Ghost hand Lotus,’ he immediately thought of the rare medicinal herb that Zhuang Xian had mentioned.
These two names were very close. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Zheng Kai, come closer.”
Hearing MO Qian calling him, Zheng Kai smiled apologetically at Xiang Nan and subconsciously sized up Xiao Ting. Seeing that he was chatting happily with Zhuang Ming, he walked to MO Qian.
He bowed slightly to MO Qian and asked gently, “What’s the matter, Mr. MO? Do you need me to do anything?”
MO Qian glanced at the chair beside him and motioned for Zheng Kai to sit down. He then raised his hand and pointed at the auction item. He chuckled, “I just want to ask about the ghost hand Lotus.”
Xiang Nan also came up with the chair he was sitting on and sat behind MO Qian’s wheelchair.
When he heard that MO Qian had the same doubts as him, he immediately interrupted, “Yeah, Dr. Zheng, I want to know too! Why did its name sound so evil? Since it’s called nether-claw, why is it a rare herb?”
The strange movements around MO Qian did not escape Xiao Ting’s eyes. He occasionally glanced at MO Qian, but the current situation was not a good place to talk.
Xiao Ting did not expect MO Qian to have so many people with him. He thought only the Zhuang brothers and MO Qian were in the private room.
He had forcefully dragged Zhuang Ming over because of the excellent relationship between Zhuang Ming and MO Qian. He thought that with Zhuang Ming’s company, MO Qian would have to show him a good face..
