Final Belonging

As the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups vied with each other, the price of this vial of medicine kept rising.

"510,000!"

When Anshintang raised their bid to the highest point one last time.

Zhenyao Workshop and Miaofang Pavilion fell silent.

The host glanced in their direction.

"Anshintang bids 510,000, are there any further bids?"

"If there are no more bids, I'll have to start the count!"

Seeing that there was still no movement from the other side, the host felt a slight disappointment.

"Good, 3... 2... 1!"

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to Anshintang for acquiring this vial of medicine!"

The hall immediately erupted in noise.

"Wow, 510,000, they really spent that much! Isn't it just a simple vial of medicine?"

"You don't understand. To us, it's a simple medicine that just boosts Qi and Blood. But to the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups, it's a beacon of hope for scientific research!"

"Exactly. If they can discover something from this vial of medicine, it might have a very good effect on improving their products. Why wouldn't they make a big investment?"

"Alright, you guys stop worrying about the affairs of the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups. They are businessmen, can't they figure out their own accounts?"

"That's right..."

Lu Bo looked at the final price of the medicine and appeared slightly disappointed.

"It's much lower than I expected!"

According to his estimation, the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups should have been locked in a life-or-death struggle!

And when this vial of medicine first went up for auction, it was indeed like that. Several parties refused to yield to each other, and the price rose fiercely.

But after reaching 500,000, Zhenyao Workshop and Miaofang Pavilion's bids stopped abruptly!

This gap between expectation and reality was truly hard for him to accept!

Jiang Fan chuckled beside him.

"It's quite normal!"

"Getting this price is already considered very high!"

Lu Bo looked at Jiang Fan in surprise. Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't seem as disappointed as he was, he asked.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Fan said calmly.

"They came to bid for this vial of medicine for no more than two reasons!"

"First, they hoped to get their hands on this medicine, which is rumored to be very effective, for their own research, preventing it from falling into the hands of the other two companies!"

"Second, they hoped to connect with the owner behind this vial of medicine, to see if they could establish cooperation!"

"In the beginning, several companies indeed wanted to get the medicine into their own hands. But in the end, they realized that no matter how much they fought, only one person would ultimately acquire the auctioned item!"

"They are all from pharmaceutical groups and are most knowledgeable about drug research. They know how difficult it is to reverse-engineer the production process of a medicine from just one vial!"

"Instead of investing so much cost for that slim hope, it's better to approach it from the second angle and invest these costs in the owner of the medicine. It might even lead to a one-step cooperation!"

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be coming to ask you about the identity of the owner of this vial of medicine soon!"

"So, I should be going now!"

Lu Bo listened to Jiang Fan's analysis, his expression gradually turning serious.

"You see things quite clearly!"

Jiang Fan, who appeared to be just a high school student in his teens, saw through this matter so thoroughly.

To be honest, he was quite shocked.

His evaluation of Jiang Fan in his heart couldn't help but increase a few notches.

However, he was once again stunned by Jiang Fan's subsequent words.

"Aren't you going to meet them?"

Jiang Fan waved his hand and stood up.

"No!"

"How can I let them see me that easily?"

"Let's keep them waiting for a few days first!"

As he walked to the door, he turned back and said to Lu Bo.

"Uncle Lu, I'll have to trouble you with this!"

"Please keep my identity a secret for now!"

"Reveal it to them in three days!"

He paused here for a moment.

"Perhaps you can even profit from this!"

Lu Bo couldn't help but smile at this rare occasion.

"Alright!"

"You kid, hurry up and go!"

"Leave the follow-up to me!"

"The income from this bottle of potion will be transferred to your account within an hour!"

The auction ended, and guests began to disperse from the hall.

Jiang Fan emerged from Lu Bo's room, walked halfway around the corridor, and then headed to the opposite exit, ascending the stairs.

Just as he reached the very top, people from the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups rushed out of the corridor.

"Old Yu, congratulations on acquiring this bottle of potion!"

"Old Yu, congratulations!"

Xia Chengyang and Sikong Yao offered their congratulations as they continued walking.

Yu Jun, with Yu Baiwei, walked straight ahead, replying perfunctorily.

"Congratulations to you both!"

"You two are done with the auction, why don't you head back quickly?"

Xia Chengyang and Sikong Yao exchanged a glance.

"We naturally want to see what this legendary potion looks like!"

"Elder Yu won't begrudge us a look, will you?"

Yu Jun's face turned cold.

"That's really not convenient!"

"..."

They walked and bickered, and in a blink of an eye, they had passed the exit.

As Yu Baiwei followed Yu Jun, who was walking quickly, she subconsciously looked up at the stairwell and saw Jiang Fan's figure.

She frowned and stopped, deep in thought.

Why did that figure seem so familiar?

Her stopping caused Yu Jun to be dragged back as well.

Seeing that the two persistent flies were still around, even walking ahead of them.

Yu Jun said irritably.

"Why did you stop?"

Yu Baiwei came to her senses, opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But fearing she wasn't sure, she quickly followed.

"It's nothing!"

Yu Jun frowned.

"Then why aren't you hurrying?"

And so, Xia Chengyang and Sikong Yao clung to Yu Jun like stubborn lint.

From paying, to the handover of the potion, to inquiring about the client's identity, the group stayed by his side.

Finally, they found out where the person in charge was. Yu Jun, ignoring the other two, quickly walked upstairs towards Lu Bo's room.

A few minutes later.

"What? You're saying the client was just in your room?"

"Where is he now?"

The leaders of the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups exclaimed.

Lu Bo was all smiles, appearing very humble.

"That's right, he was indeed here with me just now!"

"But he left after the auction ended!"

Lu Bo pretended to think for a moment.

"If we calculate the time, it's been almost twenty minutes!"

Hearing this, the few of them secretly regretted not coming to find Lu Bo immediately, and were still thinking about the medicinal agent!

It was all the host's fault for refusing to tell them the person in charge's location.

Yu Jun smiled slightly, trying to appear as calm as possible.

"Brother Lu, could you please tell us the other party's information? We would be eternally grateful!"

As things stood, Yu Jun knew he couldn't avoid the other two, so he stopped caring and no longer felt bad about the medicinal agent he had bid on. He asked directly in front of them. Since he couldn't get away, he might as well explore for information together, and they could compete fairly, preventing the other two from making any secret moves.

The other two also looked at Lu Bo with hope.

Lu Bo bowed slightly.

"I am truly sorry, but our underground auction house cannot disclose client information without their authorization!"

The few of them frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Just then, Yu Baiwei's voice sounded from the side.

"Um... Grandpa!"

The few of them looked over simultaneously.

"When we were just coming downstairs, I think I saw him!"

"What?"

Several voices in the room rose by an octave.
