Wang Kun then revealed a smile and said, "Mr. Ni from private room number 6 made the first bid. Mr. Ni's eyes are like torches. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?"

With a bid from the VIP room, the people in the auction hall had a change of heart and started to bid as well. Although they were worried that another mishap would occur in private room number three, those who could enter the private room were all top tier people.

Since number six had made the bid, no matter how much elder Dong disregarded his pride, he couldn't play the same trick as this sort of person again. Even the rest of the people would be able to bid with him.

When Lin Jing saw this reaction, his eyebrows furrowed together. He felt a bit embarrassed as he said to Old Dong, "Old Dong, I'm really sorry. Because of my personal interests, I've damaged the reputation of the Dong Clan Auction House …."

"No worries, it's just a small matter. It will be over very soon." Elder Dong waved his hand. His expression didn't seem to be bothered by this matter. He looked towards private room number 6 with a peculiar expression, as if he was preparing something.

Seeing the change in old man Dong's expression, Lin Jing's heart stirred. He also looked towards private room number six, curious about who was sitting there. However, the glass in the VIP room window was transparent on one side, and no one outside could see inside.

As he thought about it, since he couldn't see anything, he turned to Elder Dong and asked: "Elder Dong, I don't know who is in private room six, but with such a generous offer, every time you increase the bid, you seem to directly bid without any hesitation. The price has already reached 23 million!"

"Haha, the person in that room is no ordinary rich young master. Don't worry, you will have a chance to meet him in the future." Old man Dong chuckled. He didn't tell Lin Jing who the person inside was, but this sentence was enough to make him proud.

On the contrary, Lin Jing became even more curious about the people in private room six. Just what sort of family background did he have to cause someone like Elder Dong to say such unusual words? In the entire Eastsea City, there were no more than two families that had the qualifications.

Was it one of the two families? Thinking of this, Lin Jing felt that it was impossible. One of the two families had always been at odds with Elder Dong, so it was naturally impossible for them to participate in his private auction. The other one was in the high-tech industry and had never been interested in the genre.

Apart from these two families, Lin Jing couldn't think of anyone else. He thought of another idea and muttered to himself, "Could it be that they are not from Eastsea City, but from the outside?" The jewelry business of the Dong Clan is all over the world, so it's not strange that it could attract people from outside. However, from his expression, it seems that he doesn't have a good impression of this person. "

As he thought about this, the auction continued. In the end, the fourth item, the Northern Bronze Glass Caverns, was auctioned off at a sky-high price of fifty million yuan by the people in private room six. Although the people in the room had used up all their money, they couldn't compare with the people in the VIP lounge.

At this point, the first half of the auction came to an end. Old Dong turned around and smiled at Lin Jing, "Xiao Lin, the first half of the auction is over. How about we find a place to rest and wait for the second half to start before coming back?"

When Lin Jing heard this, he honestly replied, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Haha, then let's go. I haven't finished the tea just now. I'll go make more when we get back." Oh right, do you want me to invite Qianxue up as well? "You have successfully obtained Shi Lan Ao Xue Diagram, now that you have given it to her, the effect will be the best." Old man Dong smiled as he looked at Lin Jing.

"Elder Dong, you're quite considerate. But now is not the time to reveal my identity to Qianxue. I'll find an opportunity to tell her about it later." Lin Jing thought for a moment. If he were to meet Jiang Qianxue at this moment, then everything would be exposed.

He didn't want to be suspected by Jiang Qianxue, so much so that he was almost like a stranger. At the very least, he would tell Jiang Qianxue about it after the time was right.

As he was thinking, Elder Dong led him and Feng Yuqing out. Just as he entered the elevator, Wang Kun walked up the stairs and followed him in.

Inside the elevator, Wang Kun respectfully said to Elder Dong, "Master, the value of the second half of the auction is extremely high. Should we prepare it in advance?"

Elder Dong nodded slightly. With a calm expression, he said: "We'll do as I told you. Has the person from private room six left yet?"

"No, they are still inside. They should be participating in the second half." Wang Kun said.

"Since they are interested, we should give them more information. "Don't tell me that I have to properly entertain such a good customer?" Elder Dong said with a smile.

"Yes, I will arrange it later."

When they reached the top floor, the four of them got out of the elevator. Wang Kun did as he was told. Lin Jing and Feng Yuqing followed him into the office.

After they sat down, Old Dong smiled at Lin Jing and said, "Are you very interested in the people in private room six?"

"I am indeed curious." Lin Qing nodded and replied without hiding anything.

"Being curious is good, but being too curious sometimes might not be a good habit." As Elder Dong spoke, he picked up the teapot on the teapot, "Just like drinking tea. The taste of the old tea bricks is naturally thicker. But if you only ask for old tea, instead of looking at new tea, you sometimes miss the fresh, sweet taste. Everything is a double-edged sword. There are some things that you should know when the time comes. "

Speaking of which, Old Dong's meaning was very clear. Lin Jing wasn't a rash person who would pursue the matter to the end. He immediately gave up on this matter. After a while, a knock came from the door. The master of ceremonies walked in with a painting scroll in hand and placed it in front of Lin Jing. The scroll inside was naturally the one he had just bought for over three million yuan, the "Proud Ice Painting".

Old man Dong poured a cup of tea for Lin Jing, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, "Xiao Lin, you've already seen the treasures of the second half of the auction. Old man Dong poured a cup of tea for Lin Jing, and suddenly thought of something and said," Xiao Lin, you've also read the treasures of the second half of the auction.

Although Old Man Dong's words were very cryptic, Lin Jing understood the meaning behind them. He nodded his head and said, "Old Man Dong is right. The pressure that has been weighing down on Qianxue recently is quite great. I'll go find her after tea."

Seeing that Lin Jing understood his meaning, Old Dong didn't say anything more. After finishing the pot of tea, the second half of the auction had almost begun. The two of them bade farewell and left.

After leaving the Dong Clan Auction House, he first sent a message to Jiang Qianxue asking where she was before turning to Feng Yuqing and asking, "Shopkeeper Feng, do you think Elder Dong reminding us to leave first has anything to do with the people in private room number six?"

Feng Yuqing's expression was the same as usual. After some thought, he said, "At the moment, it doesn't seem like there's any other reason. Perhaps the identity of the person inside is indeed a little special." However, the second half was nothing special to us. It was just a collection of nearly a hundred million yuan, that's all. "

Lin Jing nodded slightly. He kept this matter in mind and didn't think too much about it. At this moment, Jiang Qianxue replied to his message. She was at the Green Wood Cafe, so Lin Jing said to Feng Yuqing, "I still have some matters to attend to. First, you should take back the《 Heavenly Snow Painting of Shi Lan》."

After parting ways with Feng Yuqing, Lin Jing went straight to the Qing Mu coffee shop. He looked outside and found Jiang Qianxue, then walked over with a smile on his face, "Qianxue, the < Bluesnow Diagram > is indeed Old Dong's collection. Mister Lin has already bought it!"

Jiang Qianxue raised her head and looked at Lin Jing. With a serious expression, she said, "Lin Jing, tell me honestly. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

As Jiang Qianxue suddenly asked this question, Lin Jing felt somewhat apprehensive. He thought to himself, "Could she have already discovered this?" However, when he thought about it again, he felt that it was impossible. During the auction, he did not even let his voice out, so naturally there was no possibility of it being heard.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer this question, he heard her say, "Earlier, you said that Zang family was Elder Dong and that he would take it out to auction. The result was really like that. But this information should be kept secret. How did you do it? "

Lin Jing relaxed a little when he heard this. He then smiled and said, "Didn't I say it earlier? I guessed it." Think about it. At that time, the people in the exhibition hall told us that the paintings had been taken away by the collectors to be auctioned, and that Elder Dong had organized a private auction at that time. Therefore, I thought, there shouldn't be such a coincidence in this world. Most likely, the hidden family is Elder Dong. "

"Then how did you persuade Mr. Lin to take this picture? That was over 3 million yuan, and it had already exceeded the market price. Even if Mr. Lin were to buy it, he would definitely lose out. Then, why would he still want to buy it? " Jiang Qianxue asked again as she stared intently at him.

"Eh, actually, I've asked Mr. Lin to help me previously. I promised you that I would give you a painting of Mr. Zheng Banqiao as a present. Mr. Lin was also a very generous person, and he agreed to help me get it, so that was the end of it. " Lin Jing's smile didn't change as he spoke with sincerity.

Jiang Qianxue's eyes narrowed as she looked at Lin Jing. In her heart, she was still somewhat doubtful, but she was also unsure. In the end, she said, "Okay, even if I believe what you say, what do you do next? With so much money owed to Mr. Lin and such a huge favor owed to him, how are we to repay it? "
