Ling Yi raised his number plate halfway before putting it down again.
It wasn't that Ling Yi didn't want to bid, but rather Ling Yi he wanted to see if anyone else was bidding besides them, and where those people were located.
" Uncle Zhang, have someone keep a close eye on the person who submitted the bid," Ling Yi whispered to Zhang Huai.
"I know!"
Ling Yi wasn't sensitive to the concept of money, but Zhang Huai knew very well what someone who could come up with a trillion represented.
You have to understand, even the entire North Leaf Province couldn't come up with that much cash all at once.
This has risen to a higher level.
But why?
Project No. 73, wasn't it the least valuable project? Could it be that Spacetime Folding Technology is real?
Is this possible?
If it's not real, why would anyone bid on it?
But if it's true, then that's a big problem.
Ling Yi's guess was correct; indeed, there were other bidders.
The price soared from one trillion to five trillion, and ultimately there were four bidders.
Of these four people, three from each region did not speak with an accent that suggested they were from Ancient Country.
No, it should be said that none of these four are from the Ancient Country.
However, the first person to make a bid spoke Mandarin so fluently that Ling Yi didn't recognize him at first.
If they are all foreigners and their goal is the same— Project No. 73 —does that mean that this project has long been targeted by foreigners?
But what Ling Yi couldn't understand was, even if they successfully won the project, could they really take the technology with them?
This is, after all, Ancient Country.
Or are they absolutely certain they can take the technology abroad?
Or, for the technical team working on Project No. 73, is the technology sold to whoever pays them?
Since foreigners have made their move, what about our own people in this Ancient Country? Have they also had their eyes on this project for some time now?
Or is this a setup?
We'll probably find out the specifics once we meet the person in charge of Project No. 73.
" Spacetime Folding, time and space... could it be related to my own...?"
Ling Yi was overwhelmed with thoughts.
At this moment, the host prepared to strike the gavel again.
The current offer is five trillion, and the person who made the final offer is still a guy wearing sunglasses and a mask, with a thin build and Aura Field of black, white Jin San.
"Ten trillion!" Ling Yi knew that was about right, so he raised his paddle to make a bid.
As Ling Yi made his bid, the entire venue fell into complete silence.
I thought five trillion was already outrageous enough, but I never expected there would be even higher.
However, after Ling Yi quoted a price of ten trillion, the four people who had previously made the offer turned around and left without any hesitation.
These people are trying to run away!
Ling Yi said to Liu Yunxiang, "I'm going out for a bit. You'll be fully responsible for what happens after that!"
These people are suspicious; they might know something about Project No. 73. I need to talk to them and ask them some questions.
"Be careful!" Liu Yunxiang nodded.
She roughly guessed what Ling Yi was going to do, but she couldn't help him much, so she could only offer a reminder.
"Don't worry!" Ling Yi patted Liu Yunxiang's shoulder, then turned and quickly left the conference room.
The host became somewhat anxious when he saw that the people who had submitted their bids had all left.
"Sir, the bidding has already taken effect. If you leave now, you will need to pay a penalty for breach of contract."
Liu Yunxiang stood up and said, "I will take full responsibility for what happens next."
"This is against the rules!" the host frowned.
"I'll vouch for you!" Zhang Huai also stood up and said.
"I can vouch for Guan Qing'er."
"Since Governor Zhang and the daughter of the richest man are acting as guarantors, there's naturally no problem." The host paused for a moment, then immediately said with a smile.
Ling Yi, after leaving the venue, did not run downstairs, but instead turned around and ran upstairs.
Surrounded by cameras, Ling Yi dared not act too shockingly.
He simply unleashed his Perception and locked onto the Aura Field of those four people.
As long as they are within a kilometer range, Ling Yi can accurately pinpoint their coordinates at any time.
The reason for going upstairs was that there were no cameras on the roof, and Ling Yi would actually be faster going down from the roof.
While Keep Running, I happened to pass by a storage room.
Ling Yi put on the waiter's uniform and then put on a mask.
After reaching the rooftop, Microscopic Perception, then jumped off.
To be honest, this way of going downstairs was something Ling Yi came up with on the spur of the moment.
He felt that with his 1000 Battle Power, he could definitely do it without getting hurt.
However, when Ling Yi actually jumped off the roof, he belatedly felt a sense of fear.
This is, after all, jumping off a building.
The thrill of the high-speed fall made Ling Yi unable to help but shout.
"Wow, that's fucking exciting!"
When he was still more than ten meters from the ground, Ling Yi pushed off the wall with both legs, and his body flew out diagonally like a cannonball.
His body accurately sprinted into a small alley.
He rolled over to dissipate the force and came to a stop right in front of a tree, his face just a hair's breadth away from touching the trunk.
"That was close!"
Even if they collide, Ling Yi will most likely not be injured, but he will definitely be in a very sorry state.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi turned and walked out of the alley.
After waiting for two minutes, four people rushed out of the entrance of the Dihao Cloud Court Hotel one after another.
However, all four of them had already changed their clothes.
Interestingly, they also changed into waiter's uniforms.
They didn't leave by car or taxi, but by each pushing out an electric scooter from the alley next to the hotel.
Then they rode their electric bikes and each went their own way.
However, Ling Yi did not immediately give chase.
He discovered that outside the hotel, there were also more than twenty Aura Field who had been lying in ambush.
These people have a very Identification Aura Field.
Besides their powerful Aura Field, it's also because they all possess very striking Aura Field, white Aura Field Aura Field.
The golden Aura Field indicates that they all hold Authority, while the white Aura Field signifies that they are Kung Fu Hustle in martial arts and are quite powerful.
As for the crimson Aura Field, Ling Yi had no idea what it was.
After all, Ling Yi had never met him before.
With these people around, those four people have no chance of escaping.
However, they did not act immediately, but waited until the four people were far away from the crowd before suddenly making their move.
Sure enough, those four people didn't escape.
They were easily captured by these twenty-odd people.
"As expected, this was a setup."
However, if these people are arrested like this, Ling Yi won't be able to get any information from them!
After a brief hesitation, Ling Yi's figure vanished on the spot, leaving only a blur.
The next moment, they appeared in the alley across the street.
At that moment, the skinny, short man who had been the first to bid was being held down by five people in sportswear.
Upon seeing Ling Yi's sudden appearance, these people immediately became alert.
Two of them stepped forward, shielding the others behind them, assuming a defensive posture.
"Sorry, I'll borrow this guy for a bit. I'll return it to you later." With that, Ling Yi vanished.
By the time the five of them came to their senses, the skinny little guy had already disappeared along with Ling Yi.
"This guy actually has backup?" one of them frowned.
" Captain, what do we do now?" another person asked.
The team Captain was a stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure; even in baggy sportswear, her headlights were still clearly visible.
"He's not the enemy, let's call it a day!" The beautiful woman looked up at the rooftop to her left.
There, Ling Yi was standing on the edge of the rooftop, holding the dwarf, looking back down.
Seemingly noticing the beautiful Captain's gaze, Ling Yi gave a salute and then disappeared.
