Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Donated All_1
Ye Fei chuckled, "Don’t worry, it’s not like I can always carry it on me, give me ten minutes, I’ll go home and fetch it."
As he turned to leave, Hu Wansan caught hold of him.
"Eh?! What’s the matter, planning to renege, to run away, huh? Do you take us all for fools?"
The others also felt that Ye Fei was unable to continue playing the game and wanted to take the chance to escape.
Yet, Ye Fei merely gave a wry smile; he truly hadn’t thought that far.
"Alright then, would it be okay if I make a phone call?"
"Go ahead! Let’s see what tricks you can pull!"
Bai Yunfei had been sweating nervously for Ye Fei all along and whispered advice, "Mr. Ye, let’s just let this go. Don’t worry, with me here, I won’t let you be embarrassed. If this goes on, it will only become more difficult to end well."
To Bai Yunfei’s advice, Ye Fei simply smiled faintly and then took out his cell phone, calling Wang Jianglong.
"Brother Wang, trouble you to send someone over to my house. Please bring over my daughter’s pink toy chest."
After the call had been made.
Ye Fei sat down nonchalantly and sipped his tea.
Hu Wansan always wore a sly smile, pondering how he would deal with Ye Fei later.
The rest were also thinking about how Ye Fei would conclude the affair.
Only Bai Yunfei remained serious the whole time, trying to think of a solution.
Eight minutes passed.
Ka-ka-ka-ka.
A series of footsteps rang out as a dozen Qianlong Squad guards marched neatly into Tianbao Zhai.
The leader was someone many recognized—it was the captain of the Qianlong Squad, Wang Jianglong.
He carried a pink children’s toy chest and walked straight into the VIP booth.
Hu Wansan was taken aback when he saw Wang Jianglong, but he quickly sneered.
"Yo, I didn’t expect Mr. Ye to know brothers from the military department too. What, can’t accept a loss? Called for help to settle the matter, is that it?"
Most others thought so too.
Ye Fei, however, merely smiled lightly, "How could it be, who can’t accept their loss, we still don’t know."
Saying that, he took the toy organizer, tipped it onto the table with a swish.
All eyes were focused on it.
Among the clutter of toys, something round, smooth, and shiny unexpectedly rolled out.
Upon a closer look, everyone couldn’t help but shout, "Jade! A jade dragon pearl!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Ye Fei picked up the jade dragon pearl, walked in front of the dragon-shaped engraving, and stuffed the pearl into the recess of the dragon’s eye.
Hey, it wasn’t too big or too small; it fit just right.
The jade dragon pearl twinkled brightly.
The entire golden dragon seemed to come to life, as if it would fly out of the engraving and rush into the sky at any second.
Whether it was the top tycoons in the booth.
Or the crowd in the hall watching the dragon-shaped engraving on the big screen.
All involuntarily let out exclamations.
Only Hu Wansan’s facial features twisted, his expressions fierce.
"Impossible! You couldn’t possibly have such a large jade dragon pearl! It’s impossible! I don’t believe it!"
"Fake! That pearl must be fake! No doubt about it, otherwise how could it be mixed with children’s toys!"
"This is definitely a high-quality replica to fool children! I demand a verification! We must verify it!"
Hu Wansan said hysterically.
At his insistent request, the jade dragon pearl was handed over to three experts for appraisal.
Actually, not only Hu Wansan had doubts—deep down, the others present also harbored some suspicions.
Including the three experts.
But the moment the jade dragon pearl was held in their hands, all the experts’ doubts were swept away.
"The color is lustrous and full, clear texture, smooth surface, excellent density, and cool to the touch. That’s right! This is a jade dragon pearl!"
"Ah, the last time I saw a jade dragon pearl this big was thirty years ago. This visit was truly not in vain!"
"Indeed, not only did we have the fortune to see the jade dragon pearl, but we also witnessed it merge with the dragon-shaped engraving. So thrilling!"
The three esteemed experts all declared it genuine, and no one dared to question them.
But one thing was even more baffling to them.
How could Ye Fei carelessly toss such an invaluable treasure into a child’s toy chest?
Too arrogant, right?
In fact, Ye Fei’s arrogance was far from just that.
Usually at home, he would use the Yulong Pearl as a marble, carelessly flicking it at Little Ye.
If these people were to find out, they would be furious to death.
On one side there’s desperate longing, while on the other, it’s treated like worthless trash.
Such a contrast was strikingly distinct.
At this moment, Hu Wansan was already grinding his teeth in anger, his whole body shaking.
Even though the two treasures merged into one, their value was immense.
But it still couldn’t make up for the wounds in his heart.
He could have secured it for just fifty billion.
But because he wanted to show off, he ended up spending an extra four hundred and fifty billion.
This was almost half of his entire fortune!
There was no way out, since the contract was signed in black and white, he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to.
He had no choice but to abide by the contract.
But even a wealthy individual like Hu Wansan couldn’t possibly come up with fifty billion in cash.
Therefore, mortgaging properties, transferring fund shares, he went through great lengths to finally gather the fifty billion for Ye Fei.
However, Ye Fei then turned around and, with a grand gesture, donated the entire fifty billion to the disaster-stricken area.
Hu Wansan was so angry he almost cursed out loud.
But in the eyes of others, Ye Fei was incredibly impressive.
Having donated a dozen billion before was one thing.
But now he just donated fifty billion in one go.
Who else could there be?
The crowd in the hall excitedly chanted "Long live Mr. Ye!" in unison.
The big shots in the private rooms also came to Ye Fei, bowing down before him.
Bai Yunfei was so moved he was in tears, tightly grabbing Ye Fei’s hand, at a loss for words.
Only Hu Wansan stared at Ye Fei with a spiteful look.
He wished he could rush up and dismember him.
"Fifty billion! You actually donated all of my hard-earned money over the years to those unfortunate bastards in the disaster areas! This is infuriating!"
"But luckily, I now have this complete dragon-shaped board. As long as I package it well and hype it up, it’s not impossible to resell it for four or five hundred billion."
"I might even make a small profit. Hmph, you think you can ruin me? With your little tricks, you’re not qualified?"
Gradually regaining his composure, a sly smile once again appeared at the corner of Hu Wansan’s mouth.
With this, the auction came to a perfect close.
As the host, Bai Yunfei began to organize, inviting everyone to move to the back hall for dinner.
Thus, he took Ye Fei with one hand and Hu Wansan with the other and started walking out.
But Ye Fei gestured with his hand, signaling them to wait a moment.
Then he turned toward the darkest corner of the private room and said with a slight smile, "My friend, hiding there for so long must be tiring. How about joining us for something to eat?"
Hm?
What’s going on?
Everyone was taken aback.
Wondering who Ye Fei was speaking to.
There was no one there.
Wang Jianglong also sensed something was amiss and immediately pressed his right hand to his waist, staying alert.
"Friend? If you don’t speak up, I’m going to come over and catch you," Ye Fei chuckled again.
But still, there was no response from the corner.
Impatient, Hu Wansan walked over to Ye Fei and mocked, "Little brother Ye, are you visually impaired, or is your mind not well, talking to whom? Ghosts?"
Ye Fei ignored him and let out a sigh, "Quite stubborn, then here I come."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Fei’s body shot towards the corner like an arrow released from its bow.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a flash of cold light flew out from the corner, aiming straight at Ye Fei.
The latter effortlessly dodged, avoiding the cold light.
Then he reached into the darkness, and, incredibly, pulled out a live person.
