“What?” Lu Zheng turned pale with fright and asked loudly, “Why didn’t I know about this?”

Elder Fei shook his head and said in a low voice as he stroked his beard in an unfathomable manner, “At that time, you were so lost in thought that I didn’t know what you were thinking. In addition, I had taken a closer look at that spirit herb. It’s indeed far from the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, that’s why I didn’t ask Young Master to participate in the auction.”

After saying this, the atmosphere in the private room fell silent. No one knew what to say.

After a while, seeing that all the auction items had been successfully won by the various large families, the Gao family’s master took the initiative to go on stage and give a passionate speech. Then, he calmly announced the official end of this auction.

At this moment, Lu Zheng’s face was extremely black. He clenched his fists and stood up. He quickly walked two steps to the window of the private room and looked at the people who were about to leave in the corridor. His eyes were cold as he said, “Elder Fei, please recall again. If you have to choose one, which item on the stage today is the most similar to the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb?”

The white-bearded old man pondered for a moment and turned to look at Lu Zheng. He said with some hesitation, “Young Master, according to my guess, the various families shouldn’t know much about the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. If we’re talking about the family who’s most likely to win it today, other than the Huo family, I don’t think it is anyone else.”

Lu Zheng nodded and echoed, “Elder Fei, my thoughts are similar to yours. After the last round of bidding, that girl called Mo Zhu obviously had a confident look on her face. If she hadn’t won the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb in advance, she definitely wouldn’t have such an expression.”

Lu Zheng’s gaze swept across the few VIPs who left the living room. He suddenly raised his hand and slammed the window sill. “Since we didn’t manage to win the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, let’s use some special methods. With me here today, I definitely won’t let the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb fall into the hands of others.”

The man’s expression was dark, and his eyes were as vicious as if they were poisoned.

Upon hearing the deeper meaning behind Lu Zheng’s words, the subordinate in black hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt on the ground. “Young Master, I’ll arrange it right away.”

After saying this, Lu Zheng waved his hand lightly. He stood up nimbly and walked out of the private room without looking back.

At the same time, the few people in room one also started packing up and prepared to leave.

Ever since he came in after acting with Mo Zhu in the corridor, Xu Huan had been laughing and joking in the private room.

Now that he saw that Lu Zheng had indeed fallen into a trap and suffered a loss, he was extremely happy.

After Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu returned to the private room, Xu Huan stood up and quietly leaned close to Mo Zhu. He smiled in high spirits and said, “Little Bamboo, you didn’t see the expression on that kid’s face when you came in just now. That was too exciting. He must have realized that we were playing him on purpose!”

Mo Zhu calmly raised her eyebrows with a disdainful expression. “That’s all his own fault. With such a brainless heir in the Lu family, I don’t think it will develop well in the future.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he revealed a faint smile of agreement and nodded. “That’s right. If he hadn’t been unable to control his temper, he probably wouldn’t have taken the bait so easily even if we had acted.”

Mo Zhu kept the gift box on the table neatly into the backpack she had specially brought today. She squinted at Xu Huan, who was holding his stomach and laughing non-stop. She picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. “If you have the time, why don’t you use your brain to think about how to deal with those people who are here to snatch the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb?”

Xu Huan instantly came to his senses when he heard Mo Zhu’s words. He suddenly patted his head, and his expression instantly became serious. “Look at my memory. Why did I forget such an important matter in my excitement?”

After a pause, he raised his hand and pulled Mo Wu straight out the door as he said, “Don’t worry, Little Bamboo. I’ve arranged it in advance before the auction started just now.. If anyone dares to take action later, I’ll let them taste my abilities!”
