"Hmm?!"

When Jiang Feng raised the bidding paddle, everyone at the auction looked at him in confusion.

This was Jiang Feng's first active bid in this charity auction!

Their gazes were filled with disdain, mockery, and sympathy, as if looking at an idiot!

Indeed, this wooden carved bull, which seemed the most worthless, inconspicuous, crude, and least collectible, was something no normal person would bid on. Yet, Jiang Feng was going against the grain, making a spectacle of himself!

"Haha! 20,000!"

As expected, Pan Sheng seemed to have finally found an opportunity to retaliate against Jiang Feng and immediately raised his bidding paddle.

"20,001," Jiang Feng said unhurriedly.

"50,000!" Pan Sheng sneered!

He certainly had no interest in the ugly wooden carved bull; his only reason for bidding against Jiang Feng was to get revenge for earlier!

"50,001," Jiang Feng added leisurely.

"100,001!" Pan Sheng laughed teasingly.

"100,001," Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged.

"200,000!" Pan Sheng said glaringly!

"200,001," Jiang Feng still casually held up the bidding paddle.

"300,000!" Pan Sheng was relentless.

"300,001," Jiang Feng increased the bid by only one yuan each time, making people want to burst into laughter, yet there was no way to deal with it.

Even Chu Feifei and Mu Yanluo looked at him in disbelief—this time Jiang Feng was actively attacking, so he wasn't just playing with Pan Sheng.

But why was he so determined to get the most ignored wooden carved bull?

Pan Sheng frowned secretly as he saw Jiang Feng still bidding.

He knew well that the trashy wooden carved bull was worthless, 300,000 could buy a whole basket!

Could it be that Jiang Feng was pretending to be mysterious again, like before, trying to fool him?

If he spent another unjustifiable amount on a piece of trash, the joke would be enormous.

With a cruel resolve, he shouted out his final attempt: "500,000!!"

After announcing this number, Pan Sheng felt extremely apprehensive!

It was a trap for Jiang Feng; if Jiang Feng gave up, it would mean he had shot himself in the foot again!

In an instant, Jiang Feng indeed fell silent and looked at Pan Sheng with an amused expression.

Damn!

Pan Sheng cursed inwardly!

Had he been played again?!

This time he couldn't suffer in silence!

"Jiang, are you chickening out again? Tsk tsk, something like this piece of trash is really humiliating, if you can't play then don't, you're wasting my time!"

"Who said I don't want it?"

Jiang Feng knew that Pan Sheng was trying to provoke him but calmly smiled, "500,001!"

"Whew!" Pan Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief at Jiang Feng's new bid.

At last, this guy didn't trick him again!

"Haha, I'm done playing! 500,001, it's yours! This is killing me with laughter! You spent 500,001 on something worthless, even less valuable than my Eastern Han Pottery. Only an idiot like you would do such a foolish thing!"

At this moment, he was delighted and vented his anger!

He had completely avenged the slight earlier, feeling elated!

The pottery pot worth 2 million was bought for only 800,000, merely a fourfold increase.

However, the trashy wooden carved bull Jiang Feng bid on was worth just tens of thousands but cost 500,000, a fiftyfold increase!

By comparison, Jiang Feng was naturally much more foolish, allowing Pan Sheng to finally regain his distorted sense of self-esteem and fulfillment, as if he could float again!

"500,001, are there any more bids?… 500,001 once! 500,001 twice! 500,001 thrice! —Sold!" Auctioneer Chen Fen announced after calling it several times!

"Uncle…" Chu Feifei anxiously looked at Jiang Feng, hesitating to speak.

"Fei'er, go swipe the card." Jiang Feng calmly smiled, got up, and headed to the auction stage with Chu Feifei and Mu Yanluo.

Though Chu Feifei felt speechless inside, she obediently took out the card, swiped 500,001, and then Chen Fen personally handed the wooden carved bull over to Jiang Feng.

However, there was also a hint of subtle amusement in Chen Fen's eyes.

As an experienced auctioneer, Chen Fen had never seen anyone pay so much for a crude and worthless wooden carved bull.

Laughter erupted around the stage.

Everyone could see that Jiang Feng had been tricked by Pan Sheng.

Excessive wrongdoing leads to self-destruction; who asked you to go against Young Master Pan? Now you got what you deserved, didn't you?!

However—

At this moment, Boss Huang couldn't help but stand up.

He asked Jiang Feng, who was on the stage, "Young man… Forgive my oversight, I truly can't see what's special about this wooden carved bull? Since you were willing to pay such a high price, there must be a reason, right? Could you, on site, solve the mystery for us?"

Boss Huang, who had been involved in antique and collectible circles for half his life, also regarded the wooden carved bull as trash. It would even look cheap in a home.

But Jiang Feng insisted on acquiring it, making it intriguing.

After all, Boss Huang had seen Jiang Feng's talent in identifying treasures first-hand and firmly believed Jiang Feng wouldn't take action without reason!

Those present had been mocking and laughing at Jiang Feng, but were suddenly startled by Boss Huang's humble inquiry.

How could someone possibly stand up for the guy who had offended Young Master Pan?

"Huang Dafu, what do you mean by this?"

Pan Sheng sneered, "That wooden carved bull, everyone has seen, is a complete waste! What could a low-level security guard possibly see in it? He's nothing but a fool, wanting to show off but can't afford anything expensive, so he spends tens of thousands on trash wood to satisfy his vanity! Haha, I understand this mentality too well!"

"You indeed understand, surely you've suffered in this area often." Jiang Feng smiled calmly, then turned to Huang Dafu, "Alright, let me explain on-site."

"Actually, you aren't wrong, this wooden carved bull is indeed just a flawed handmade sculpture, showing the craftsman's lack of skill and crude technique."

"But have you ever thought, why would a humble wooden bull be placed in a tomb of royal nobles?"

Wow!

With that, the entire room was stunned!

Yes, why hadn't they considered that a flawed piece of trash would be among many precious antiques?

This didn't make logical sense!

Too bad they were busy looking down on this wooden carved bull and mocking Jiang Feng, and didn't think of that!

Why?

"The answer is right here—"

With that, Jiang Feng suddenly made a "crack!!!" sound, breaking the wooden carved bull in half!
