Yan Yulong's lips twitched.
Seeing Ling Feng's attitude, Yan Yulong was quite displeased.
He never expected that the current situation would be so passive.
It was as if he was being forced to sell the item to them.
However, upon remembering the bidding intensity of Lin Shuai Nan at the beginning, Yan Yulong's smile remained unchanged.
He readily quoted Ling Feng, "Let's stick to the previous offer from this gentleman, fifteen billion!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng not only stopped looking at the Three-Leaf Lotus but also lost interest in Yan Yulong.
He even closed his eyes slightly.
He adopted a posture of closing his eyes to rest.
This immediately ignited Yan Yulong's temper, and his smile froze completely!
Lin Shuai Nan also curled his lips, "Fifteen billion? Are you out of your mind? You bought this for eighteen billion!"
Yan Yulong almost cursed Lin Shuai Nan!
To put it plainly.
Yan Yulong had observed the demeanor of Ling Feng and his companions earlier. He absolutely did not believe that they were unaware of the underlying scheme.
Therefore, Lin Shuai Nan's words were clearly meant to mock him!
However, for the sake of money, Yan Yulong could only endure it.
After all, this item would at most fetch twelve billion at an auction.
If he could sell it for fifteen billion now, it would be a huge profit!
Yet, even though Yan Yulong suppressed his anger, he had lost the patience to continue smiling at Lin Shuai Nan and the others.
"Then what price do you two think is appropriate?"
Lin Shuai Nan, unable to stand Yan Yulong's demeanor, was about to retort.
Ling Feng, however, subtly raised his hand to stop Lin Shuai Nan, then shifted his gaze back to Yan Yulong.
"Twelve billion."
Upon hearing this price, Yan Yulong's pupils contracted!
"Twelve billion? Heh, that price is too low. Sir, didn't you just offer fifteen billion? What's the matter? Are you not sincere about buying?"
Ding!
At this moment, the elevator suddenly stopped.
Ling Feng then walked past Yan Yulong.
This action left Yan Yulong somewhat bewildered.
"Twelve billion, not a cent more."
As he brushed past, Ling Feng coldly left those words.
Lin Shuai Nan also grinned at Yan Yulong, "Heh, serves you right for being greedy and buying it yourself, only to have it stuck with you now! Why don't you sell it to someone else? It was sold for eighteen billion. Even if you sell it to someone else for fifteen billion, they might think it's a fake!"
With that, Lin Shuai Nan led the others out of the elevator.
Yan Yulong was truly furious. Earlier at the auction, he had maintained a composed and self-assured demeanor.
The people around him had witnessed it.
He appeared to have everything under control, as if he had Lin Shuai Nan completely in his grasp.
But now, he had to come begging them to sell the item.
However, while Lin Shuai Nan's final remark was infuriating, it was also the truth.
A spiritual medicine that sold for eighteen billion, if sold at a lower price, would likely not find many gullible buyers.
The highest price it could fetch at an auction was twelve billion.
He was now essentially covering the transaction fees himself.
A loss of two hundred million.
But, if he missed this buyer, he might lose ten billion!
"Fine, deal!"
Yan Yulong, feeling extremely humiliated, finalized the price.
He also turned and left the elevator.
Meanwhile, in the lobby downstairs, the moment Yan Yulong uttered those words,
Ling Feng had already stopped and tossed a bank card to Lin Shuai Nan beside him, "Shuai Nan, the transaction!"
Lin Shuai Nan was immediately stunned.
He clearly hadn't processed it yet.
Let alone Lin Shuai Nan, even Yan Yulong was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Did this cold-faced fellow calculate from the very beginning that he would definitely sell the item to him?!
This made Yan Yulong feel even more ashamed and indignant.
He had been played!
The feeling of the hunter suddenly becoming the prey was truly unbearable!
But, Lin Shuai Nan was already approaching with the money. Could Yan Yulong really refuse the money for the sake of a little pride?
After all, although such spiritual medicine was in high demand, it still needed to find the right person, someone who needed it, to fetch such a high price. Delaying it meant losses.
Especially since the capital was tied up here.
"Alright, a pleasure doing business with you!"
Yan Yulong had someone process the card payment on the spot. Seeing that the transaction was successful, he handed the item to Lin Shuai Nan with one hand and extended the other for a handshake.
But unexpectedly, Lin Shuai Nan snatched the item.
He then gave Yan Yulong a glare, "If you had been this straightforward earlier, why play these little tricks! Do you think you're Zhuge Liang, and I'm just a cobbler? With my big brother here, how could I be tricked by you?"
"You..."
Yan Yulong was instantly furious, pointing at Lin Shuai Nan, momentarily speechless!
"Shuai Nan, let's go!"
Ling Feng called out.
Lin Shuai Nan then quickly moved towards Ling Feng, happily handing over the spiritual medicine!
"Big brother, you're amazing! I almost spent fifteen billion earlier, and now I've saved three billion. It feels so good! Even better than making money!"
Ling Feng took the box directly in his hand, without saying much to Lin Shuai Nan.
His demeanor had already greatly provoked Yan Yulong behind him.
With Lin Shuai Nan acting like this, Yan Yulong might even be tempted to bite someone!
The group quickly left the hotel.
Yan Yulong's face, however, turned flushed purple.
At this moment, an subordinate handed him a phone, "Mr. Yan, it's from the old man. The old man seems to know about what happened here."
Yan Yulong's heart trembled, and he reached out to take the phone, "Hello, Dad!"
"Yulong, what kind of mess have you gotten yourself into? Why did you buy back a perfectly good item yourself?"
A furious reprimand came directly from the other end.
Yan Yulong felt even more ashamed and indignant. If he had managed to sell it for fifteen billion earlier, his father would definitely not have had this attitude!
"I misjudged someone and was set up, but I still sold it for twelve billion! From the same seller!"
Yan Yulong took a deep breath. He was no longer the hot-headed youngster of twenty years old.
"Hmph, you were played. Who are these people?"
Yan Yulong frowned slightly, "Judging by their accent, they're not from the capital. They haven't gone far!"
"Then what are you waiting for? If people find out you were so easily tricked, what face will my Yan family have? The money is in hand, get the item back. It wasn't publicly transacted at the auction, so it'll be easier to act!"
Beep, beep, beep...
As the words fell, the call was already hung up!
Yan Yulong's eyes lit up!
"Murder and robbery? Fine, I don't want to swallow this insult either!"
