Lin Feng didn't mind and continued driving his car. After all, he was just here to have fun and help He Ting, hoping to gather some items that He Ting needed. To put it simply, Lin Feng was just too bored, which is why he got to know Lin Mei and Xiao Yue. Now, Lin Feng was just a casual reincarnator.
At least, that's what he thought.
Next, Lin Mei recounted everything that happened tonight to Grandpa Lin, waiting for a decision from him.
"What? Grandpa, where are you right now?" The response from the other end of the phone surprised Lin Mei, prompting her to ask.
"Okay, I understand. I'll come find you right now." After hearing a reply from the other side, Lin Mei nodded and hung up the phone.
"Lin Feng, let's go to Yuxiang Auction House." After hanging up, Lin Mei turned to Lin Feng and said.
"Okay, got it." Although Lin Feng didn't know what was going on with Lin Mei, he still responded.
When they arrived, as soon as Lin Feng's car came to a stop, Lin Mei had already opened the door and got out, clearly in a hurry.
"By the way, Lin Feng, come with me." Despite her urgency, Lin Mei still greeted Lin Feng before heading off.
Without waiting for Lin Feng to catch up, she made her way toward the auction house.
Although Lin Feng was still confused about the situation, he followed her. Given how anxious Lin Mei was, there must be something important going on. Remembering that she had just spoken with Grandpa Lin on the phone made him even more curious about what could be so urgent for her.
With that thought in mind, Lin Feng followed without any hesitation.
Since he came with Lin Mei, Lin Feng was not obstructed at all and directly followed Lin Mei into a private room at the auction.
There were only two people in the room: Old Lin and a very imposing man.
This man was Old Lin's adopted son, who had been an orphan since childhood and was now a major general with limitless potential ahead of him!
"Grandpa, Xing Ge, I'm here," Lin Mei nodded to the two men and then stood still.
"Old Lin," among those present, Lin Feng only recognized Old Lin. Although Lin Mei called the imposing man "Xing Ge," no one had introduced him to Lin Feng, so he naturally did not greet him.
"Mm, Mei'er, Lin Feng, sit down," Old Lin clearly had no intention of introducing Lin Feng and simply said this before turning his attention back to the auction.
Lin Mei also said nothing and looked at the auction with a nervous anticipation on her face. She knew that this auction was very important to Grandpa because there was something at stake that the Lin family desperately needed and was determined to obtain.
It was precisely for this reason that Grandpa had told her to put aside other matters and come here first.
Although Lin Feng did not know what they were anxious about, seeing that Lin Mei sat down, he followed suit.
He wanted to see what it was that made Old Lin so nervous and expectant.
It seemed that this item must be very important to the Lin family, Lin Feng thought to himself.
Soon, Lin Feng's curiosity was answered; it turned out that Old Lin was so anxious because of a Millennium Ginseng.
Indeed, although ginseng is quite common on the market now, the most commonly seen ones are just a hundred-year-old ginseng. As for Millennium Ginseng, Lin Feng had never seen it before.
Of course, this fellow Tesla must have seen it, because the years he has lived can already be compared to the Millennium Ginseng.
Knowing that the Lin family needed Millennium Ginseng, Lin Feng could roughly guess that someone in the Lin family was likely ill, and it was probably a condition that consumed a lot of medicinal materials but could not be cured completely.
Having interacted with Tesla for some time, Lin Feng naturally understood the characteristics of various medicinal herbs. Ginseng is one of the most common precious medicinal materials, and Lin Feng was well aware of its medicinal properties.
However, despite his suspicions, Lin Feng did not speak up; it was not the time for such discussions. Since the Lin family had asked him to watch over things here, he would do so without disturbing their auction.
Lin Feng also realized that the Lin family probably intended to buy this ginseng.
Sure enough, as soon as the Millennium Ginseng was put up for auction, many people began to place bids, but the Lin family had yet to make a move.
Lin Feng understood this; after all, it was an auction, and given the Lin family's esteemed status, they would not bid right at the start.
Although Lin Feng noticed that the other members of the Lin family looked quite nervous, indicating that they were determined to acquire this Millennium Ginseng.
At this point, Lin Feng was even more curious about who in the Lin family needed this Millennium Ginseng so badly.
If it were just for collection purposes, Lin Feng believed that the Lin family wouldn't need to make such a big deal about it, especially with Old Man Lin personally getting involved.
As the bidding continued and things heated up, Old Man Lin gave a glance to Lin Mei. She raised her hand and shouted, "I bid two million."
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd. Just moments ago, someone had bid one million; now Lin Mei had jumped straight to two million. It was clear that the Lin family was determined to acquire this Millennium Ginseng.
"Two million five hundred thousand," shouted someone from another corner as many people began to withdraw from bidding.
With the sound, everyone from the Lin family turned to look, and it turned out that the bidder was the Xu Family.
The other party wasn't afraid of being seen by the Lin family; after placing the bid, they looked over with a big smile.
However, at this moment, Lin Mei couldn't help but feel that this face was quite annoying.
This person was none other than Xu Li's brother, Xu Ran.
Xu Ran had been specially sent by his family today to buy the Millennium Ginseng. His family had given him only one order: no matter how much it cost, he had to get that Millennium Ginseng.
Because the Xu Family also knew just how much the Lin family needed this Millennium Ginseng.
Seeing Xu Ran place a bid, Lin Mei's face filled with anger. She naturally understood that the sudden appearance of the Xu Family was meant to embarrass them.
In response, Old Man Lin had clearly anticipated this. He pressed down on Lin Mei's hand and said to her, "Keep bidding, ignore him."
"Three million," Lin Mei gradually calmed down after seeing Old Man Lin's demeanor and shouted.
"Three million and one dollar," Xu Ran immediately followed up. He knew that the Lin family absolutely needed this ginseng today, so he could raise the price as much as he wanted. After all, his grandpa had already said that this ginseng was definitely worth a lot as long as it was in their Xu Family's hands.
This somewhat shameless tactic could easily draw criticism, but this time the Xu Family was all in; as long as they could obtain this ginseng, they could exchange it for even greater benefits from the Lin family.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" Lin Mei also understood what the Xu Family was trying to do and asked.
"Continue bidding," Old Lin said to Lin Mei without any expression.
"Four million," Lin Mei shouted.
"Four million and one," Xu Ran continued to call out.
"Five million."
"Five million and one."
...
In this way, every time Lin Mei called out a price, Xu Ran would add one more dollar behind her. This made Lin Mei so angry that she trembled. The Lin family was wealthy, but it wasn't money blown in by the wind. Each increase of one million was something Lin Mei was naturally unwilling to do. However, thinking of her grandmother and the need for the Millennium Ginseng for her illness, she couldn't back down and could only continue to bid.
"Ten million." At that moment, Old Lin stopped Lin Mei from calling out a price and stood up to shout loudly.
After calling out the price, Old Lin fixed his gaze on Xu Ran. Although he didn't speak, an unmatched aura erupted from him, causing Xu Ran to break out in a cold sweat.
Originally, Old Lin standing against a descendant of the Xu family was against the rules and would leave him open to criticism for bullying the young. But this was an extraordinary moment; since the Xu family allowed one of their descendants to cause trouble here, Old Lin could disregard the rules for once.
After all, his wife's life was as important as heaven in Old Lin's eyes. When he was young, due to some unfortunate reasons, he had left her in their hometown while he ventured alone into Tianya. Now that he held great power, with his wife’s health in jeopardy, he would risk everything to save her. He owed her too much in this lifetime.
So at this moment, Old Lin couldn't care less about anything else.
Seeing Old Lin's expression and actions, even Lin Feng understood that Old Lin was truly furious. If Xu Ran continued to raise the bid, the Lin family and the Xu family would really stand on opposite sides.
For a moment, Lin Feng turned his gaze towards Xu Ran. He was eager to know whether the Xu Family would back down after the Lin Family expressed such an attitude.
"Ten million fifty thousand." Looking at the eyes of Old Lin, Xu Ran was indeed intimidated. However, when he came here, Grandpa had already instructed him that no matter what happened, as long as the price did not exceed one hundred million, he could not give up. So, even though he knew Old Lin was genuinely angry now, he still raised the bid.
Of course, he did not dare to play with Old Lin like he did with Lin Mei before; he only increased the bid by one dollar.
"Good, good, good." Old Lin saw that the other party continued to raise the price and repeated "good" three times before sitting down and falling silent.
However, Lin Feng knew that although Old Lin appeared calm on the surface, it was merely the calm before the storm.
"Grandpa, is this how it ends? Grandma..." Lin Mei said softly when she saw that Old Lin did not continue to raise the price.
Before Lin Mei could finish her sentence, Old Lin had already stopped her from speaking further but still showed no signs of reaction, closing his eyes that were filled with a bright sheen.
Seeing that Old Lin said nothing, Lin Mei did not dare to take matters into her own hands. She understood that Grandpa had his own plans; since he had not said anything, she could not say anything either.
At this moment, Lin Feng, who had been watching from the side, finally began to piece together some clues. He realized that the reason the Lin Family needed this Millennium Ginseng was likely related to Grandma mentioned by Lin Mei. However, he knew this was not the time to ask questions and could only suppress his curiosity.
