Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Four: Auction Encounter

Lu Ning felt that he saved Hayden and Christensen's life. Well, Lu Ning thought so anyway, otherwise God would know what Natalie would do in anger. Anyway, there is one thing that Lu Ning can guarantee that Hayden and Christensen's handsome face would definitely not be able to be saved. If he hadn't hugged Natalie from behind, his foot would definitely be looking at Hayden and Christensen's handsome face.

At this moment, Natalie still had an indignant expression in the car. With her height, she definitely belongs to the irritable Loli style. Well, who said Loli has three good things, soft voice, soft body, and easy to push down? Stand out, Hayden Christensen will definitely not beat you to death.

"Come on, Natalie, this is nothing." Lu Ning looked at Natalie's angry face with a funny look while driving.

"Hmph, I'm just giving him a little lesson. In fact, Hayden Christensen is a good person. His mouth is too broken and he will suffer a loss in the future. Why don't I help him get rid of this bad habit now?"

Haha, a little lesson, look at Hayden Christensen's pitiful look, Lu Ning felt sorry for her, but this guy showed a hint of enjoyment at the last moment. It was terrifying to think about it carefully. This guy would not like to be abused.

As the two said, Lu Ning was already driving the BMW X5 to the five-star hotel where the "Sotheby's" auction was held tonight. However, it seemed that the time was a bit early, and the auction was still two hours before it started.

So, Lu Ning and Natalie came to the restaurant on the 3rd floor. It was a buffet, with a price of 58 euros per person, and they ate it freely. However, to be honest, for Natalie, this price is definitely a sinkhole. The little girl usually doesn't eat much at night and will use fruit instead.

"Natalie, I've wanted to say a long time ago that the reason for not growing tall must be related to your nutrition." Lu Ning looked at the plate in Natalie's hand, some vegetarian salads, a banana, half an apple and a kiwi fruit. Can these things be called dinner?

Natalie ignored Lu Ning and instead rolled her eyes to the other party. Humph, I have eaten since I was a child, what's wrong?

Lu Ning shrugged and began to choose the food by himself. The salmon sashimi looked quite fresh and the lobster pasta was also good.

Although Lu Ning ate a lot, he only ate half of the price of 58 euros. It seems that he is from the highest level of buffet, and he is not a little bit different from the wall to support the wall to support the wall to go out.

"Lu, what did you like in this auction?" Natalie couldn't help but ask, because she took a special look when she first entered the door. They were all shareholder vases, porcelain, etc., and there should be no projects that Lu Ning likes.

"Natalie, do you remember reading "The Collection Manual of the Old Summer Palace"?" Lu Ning took a sip of champagne and asked back.

"Of course, you mean, there are collections from the Old Summer Palace in this auction?"

"Well, there is a Haiyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace, designed by missionary Lang Shining, which gathers the great achievements of Western construction. The most famous of them is the twelve beast heads at the clock. The Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace and snatched countless precious cultural relics, including these 12 beast heads."

"Lu, this is an unfortunate history, and the barbarity and ignorance of the predecessors destroyed history."

"Yes, it's very savage. They couldn't take away the 12 statues, so they destroyed the statues and brought the 12 beast heads back to their country."

"So? Is there a beastly head in this auction?"

"This time, the animal heads that participated in the auction include cows, tigers, monkeys, and three bronze heads, and I am sure to win this."

The two were not discussing such a disappointment. Half an hour before the auction began, Lu Ning and Natalie walked out of the restaurant and went to the main venue of this "Sotheby's" auction.

"Lu, there are Chinese people." Natalie, who was walking beside Lu Ning, suddenly whispered beside Lu Ning.

Lu Ning looked up and saw that they were indeed five Chinese people. However, Lu Ning was not familiar with these people. They probably wouldn't be the kind of people who came from a wealthy family. They looked a bit like scholars, two men and three women, a man in his 60s and a man in his 40s, and the rest of the two women and one man looked not very old, roughly around 24 or 25 years old.

This combination looks a bit weird. When Lu Ning was looking at them, the elderly scholar seemed to see Lu Ning. He was a little surprised when he saw Lu Ning. It seemed that he recognized Lu Ning's identity, nodded, and said hello. Lu Ning also nodded slightly and gave a greeting. He randomly took Natalie to the registration office and asked for his number card.

For a rich man like Lu Ning, the "Sotheby's" auction house of course paid great attention. Not only did it give seats in the first row, but also a person in charge of the on-site personally delivered them to the seats to show respect.

The old man who had just nodded with Lu Ning, led the strange group of five people to the middle and the back position. At this time, the young man couldn't help but ask: "Professor, do you know Lu Ning?"

Obviously, all the five people in this group recognized Lu Ning's identity, but the two sides had no intersection, so they did not rashly go up to say hello.

"I know, but I know him, and he doesn't know me." The old man, known as the professor, seemed very humorous.

"Old Mr. Wu, do you think Lu Ning came because of the bronze head?" asked the intellectual young woman in her 40s.

"I don't know, but maybe." The professor, who is known as Mr. Wu, is not clear about Lu Ning's purpose.

"Oh, if Lu Ning also came for the bronze head, wouldn't our mission be greatly increased?"

"Yuxin, don't be surprised, what are you doing?" Yuxin, who had just exclaimed, was scolded by an intellectual young woman in her 40s.

"Oh, Teacher Han, am I in a hurry? You know, our funds are not sufficient. If we compete with Lu Ning, we will have no chance of winning at all."

Yu Xin's words also made the other four people look a little ugly. Now, the only hope is that Lu Ning's goal must not be a cow, tiger, monkey, and three bronze heads, otherwise, the five of them would probably have been in vain.

On the other hand, Lu Ning and Natalie, who were sitting in the seat, were also secretly discussing the group of five people they just saw.

"Lu, do you think they came here for the bronze head?"

"I think so, and, it seems, it doesn't look like people from a certain family, but people from a university or a museum." Lu Ning guessed the identities of these people.

"Haha, it seems that you are not the only one who targets the bronze head this time."

"It doesn't matter, I'm bound to win anyway." Compared with money, Master Lu has never been afraid of anyone.
