184 It feels so good to be a villain (1/2)

What happened?

Did someone steal the rest?

Impossible!

Was she cheated by Li Si?

Impossible!

Then what the hell happened?!!

Turning more nervous and anxious by the second as everyone kept on pointing towards her, Jin Ying wanted to do nothing more than dig a hole and hide herself within it.

Jin Ying knew that since no one could've stolen them especially in the middle of the auction, she knew that she had been tricked by Li Si.

How he did it and what he did were what she didn't know yet, but was now really a time for her to think about such things?

With the Crystal Yin decreasing by four times, she would be surprised if it was even possible for her to recover what she spent on buying it from Li Si.

And if she failed to breakeven and not obtain at least 551 Qi Crystals for the Crystal Yin, not to mention a promotion, it wouldn't be surprising if the head office decided to turn her into one of those slaves whom she had just gifted to Bai Long.

Regaining the proud and confident look on her face, Jin Ying loudly laughed and said, ”Due to some inexplicable reasons, we've changed our decision to only sell a fourth of the entire Crystal Yin we managed to obtain.”

”So, let's restart the bid with the opening price set 250 Qi Crystals.”

With now a single one in the audience seats or the rooms believing that obviously fake and made up reason, the entire auction hall turned silent with people only whispering in between themselves and not making any bids.

It was almost as if everyone was saying that they wouldn't place a bid unless the entire 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin was showed to them.

Still, even though no one said those words and Jin Ying understood them without anyone having to say those words, she couldn't do anything about it.

Unlike Li Si who managed to increase the 180 tonnes and make it seem like 720 tonnes when he sold it to her, Jin Ying didn't know how to do that.

At the same time, she began doubting if those 180 tonnes were real either and not some 45 tonnes of Crystal Yin which had been increased in size.

Shaking her head inwardly to not let such thought get to her right now, Jin Ying maintaining the same smile repeatedly asked everyone to place the first bid while highlighting the importance of how useful Crystal Yin was.

Actually, 180 tonnes of Crystal Yin wasn't something which could be considered as small in quantity. In fact, it wasn't every day or every year that such a huge quantity of Crystal Yin was sold.

But, to everyone who came here with the intention to purchase 720 tonnes being able to only buy 180 tonnes was quite a huge let down which completely destroyed the enthusiasm they originally possessed.

Furthermore, they had all seen how the 720 tonnes had turned into 180 tonnes right in front of their eyes.
