Looking at the phone screen showing the end of the call, Ye Chen was a little confused.
What did the woman mean by what she said to herself?
Although it does sound like nonsense, it is definitely more than that for a person like that to specifically call me.
"Many people are eyeing this black wooden box..."
That’s right!
Ye Chen finally knew where the feeling of disobedience in his heart came from.
First of all, in the eyes of ordinary people, such as Song Weilong and others, this black wooden box is not a valuable thing at all.
But why did the organizer put it at the finale of this auction?
And the Han family released news...
What news did they release? What news attracted so many people to participate in the auction?
With these questions in mind, Ye Chen took the elevator to the first floor.
"Brother Ye! You're down!"
Da Zhuang and Niu Ergou stood at the elevator entrance on the first floor, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"Sorry, have you been here for a long time?"
"It didn't take long, but Uncle Ergou knocked on the door of my room early in the morning and said he was hungry."
"So I took him down for breakfast."
Niuergou's face seems to be swollen and his speech is still a little unclear.
"There's nothing I can do! I haven't eaten anything since I got here last night, and I was even beaten for no reason!"
Having said this, Niu Ergou seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked at Ye Chen.
"By the way! Speaking of which, I know the identities of the three women yesterday!"
Ye Chen looked at Niu Ergou and was a little surprised.
"real?"
Niuergou nodded repeatedly, with a proud expression on his face.
"That's right! Don't look at who your Uncle Ergou is..."
"I heard from others that the owner of this hotel is a bit psychopathic. He was originally married, but the original husband only came here for her money."
"After marriage, the couple's life was not harmonious for some reason. As a result, not long after, the husband took her money and ran away with a young and beautiful mistress."
"As a result, the boss here no longer trusts men. Whenever a man wants to participate in the auction, she will send her own trained subordinates to evaluate him. If the man who comes is bewitched by women, no matter who he is, she
They will not be allowed to participate in the auction!"
"That's why yesterday we saw that all the people living here were women."
"They are all agents sent by major families."
After listening to Niu Ergou's words, Ye Chen nodded slowly.
The possibility is almost the same as what I guessed yesterday.
"But there is indeed something wrong with this boss lady. Which man do you think is not lewd?"
"It's so unreasonable for her to beat them all to death..."
Niuergou covered his cheeks, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Ring ring ring ring!!!"
Suddenly, the mobile phone in Ye Chen's pocket rang again.
Not only his, Da Zhuang's cell phone also rang, and the entire hall was suddenly filled with cell phone ringtones.
It’s finally starting!
Ye Chen took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at Niu Ergou and said.
"Brother Dog, since you didn't get that card, please help us take care of our luggage!"
Niuergou nodded quickly.
"Okay! Leave it to me! Don't worry!"
Da Zhuang and Ye Chen looked at each other, then nodded slowly.
Pressed the answer button.
"Please go through the corridor next to the elevator and come to the garden behind the hotel!"
"Please show your pass at the entrance, then pick up the mask and wear it on your face."
A strange voice reached the ears of the two of them.
Ye Chen and Da Zhuang stepped forward and arrived at a huge courtyard as requested.
This hotel is indeed not simple!
I didn’t expect that there was such a wide yard behind the building!
Moreover, there is actually more than one entrance to this place, and people wearing masks are constantly entering the courtyard in the passages extending in all directions.
How big is this place?!
As time goes by, more and more people enter the yard.
Just like Niu Ergou said, except for newcomers like myself who were participating in the auction for the first time, almost everyone who came here was female.
Ye Chen glanced at the watch on his hand.
Nine thirty-five, according to what the mysterious woman said in the morning.
The auction should have started by now.
Just as Ye Chen was thinking this, there was a loud noise at the entrance and the door slowly closed.
Suddenly, a young waiter in a tuxedo appeared in front of everyone.
He clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself.
"First of all, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend our auction."
"Secondly, due to various special reasons, we also want to take care of new customers who are participating in our auction for the first time."
"I hope you can abide by the following rules."
"One: Do not ask others for their true identity without their consent."
"Two: No threats, insults, violence, etc. are allowed to any staff of our firm during the auction process."
"Three; please cooperate with us in the security check before entering the auction venue. Please leave a series of electronic products such as mobile phones and Bluetooth to us for safekeeping. They will be returned to you after the auction."
"Four: If you have companions, our firm will separate you after entering the venue and redistribute them in pairs. Please understand!"
After briefly explaining some situations, the young waiter bowed to everyone again.
"Well, I guess you are already a little impatient, so without further ado, please come with me!"
After speaking, the waiter took out a remote control from his pocket.
After pressing it gently, the thick wall behind him actually made a roaring sound, and then slowly sank into the ground.
Behind the wall is a bottomless staircase.
"Then, sir, please come with me!"
At some point, a waiter wearing a silver mask and a tuxedo suddenly appeared behind Ye Chen.
The same goes for Da Zhuang.
"Brother Ye..."
"Don't resist!"
Ye Chen looked at Da Zhuang and nodded.
So, under the leadership of the silver-masked waiter, Ye Chen slowly stepped onto the stairs to the underground.
…
"Please come in!"
The waiter came to the door of a room, then slowly stopped and opened the door for Ye Chen.
Different from what Ye Chen imagined, this place is not so much an auction house...
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a medieval arena.
The room is equipped with sofas, fruits, and even some rare and valuable drinks.
The panoramic glass allows people in the room to clearly see the entire product below.
But there is no doubt that the huge open space below the room with only an auction table and an auctioneer seems a bit exaggerated.
