Lin Bai fiddled with the bronze cup in his hand and looked at the eager eyes of the crowd. He said, “It’s not good to be stuck on the road. Let’s find a place to talk.”

The crowd was a little surprised by Lin Bai’s indifferent look, but when they saw Yu Jinmo, who was calmer beside Lin Bai, they realized that Lin Bai, Yu Jinmo, and Lin Bai had quite a background.

Therefore, one of them immediately said, “I have a branch here. The reception room is upstairs. How about going to my place?”

In the reception room of Treasures Boutique.

The bronze cup was placed on the huge round table, rotating so that every boss could see it clearly.

When the bronze cup was placed in front of him, one of the bespectacled old men put on gloves. After obtaining the agreement of Lin Bai and the others, he carefully picked up the bronze cup and scrutinized it.

“The rough patterns on the wine cup used for sacrificial rituals are not something that modern machines can imitate. The rust is also authentic. It should be from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and is worth over a hundred million.”

Following the old man’s words, Lin Bai could clearly hear Zou Wen and the others gulping.

Good heavens, a hundred and fifty thousand things turned into an antique worth over a hundred million in the blink of an eye. Even if it was only worth a hundred million, the five of them could casually split it, and each of them would be worth twenty million!

At this time, the others also asked, “Young sir, I wonder if you will pay for this item?”

They asked this because they knew that this cup was bought by five people, but they could tell that it was Lin Bai who made the decision.

Lin Bai looked at Zou Wen and the others who were tempted, and slowly said, “We will pay for it, but it also depends on what price you can offer.”

Everyone looked at each other and someone said, “That person said that he wants to give you a good price. We won’t hide it from you. I estimate the price of this bronze cup to be 150 million, but we can only offer 100 million.”

When Zou Wen and the others heard the price of 150 million, their hearts stopped beating.

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is there any explanation here?”

An elderly man said, “Here’s the thing. We are all followers of that person. Most of the things he offers are genuine, but the selling price is extremely low.”

Lin Bai could hear the other meaning in his words.

Lin Bai asked, “That stall owner knew that it was true, but he insisted on selling it. Moreover, he only sold it for a few hundred thousand?”

Everyone nodded and said, “That’s true. We are also very puzzled.”

“Later on, one of our families was in chaos and almost went bankrupt. He happened to buy that person’s item. That person said that the item was real. If he donated one-third of the item, his family would be able to survive.”

“Later on, he also tried his luck and sent the item he bought to the auction house. He did not expect to sell it for several hundred million.”

“But these few hundred million didn’t change his old hobby. He thought of that person who said he would donate one-third of his income, so he tried to donate it.”

“I didn’t expect that not long after, his family’s enemies would fall, and those holes that couldn’t be filled because the trap would disappear in an instant.”

“We were also taken care of by that person. After the accident, we obeyed that person more or less, and now we’re all doing well.”

After Lin Bai heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

According to them, this stall owner’s origin was mysterious, and his actions were also unclear.

However, when he came into contact with the stall owner, his own abilities did not disappear. So, that stall owner was not from the same group as them. Was he really a native of this world?

Moreover, he seemed to have some strange abilities?

Then, Lin Bai thought of the fact that after these people bought the stall owner’s things and sold them, they still had to use a third of them to do charity.

This made Lin Bai recall that he had earned so much money before, but it seemed like he had never done charity before.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai looked at the people waiting for his reply and said, “Then it’s 100 million.”

“Boss!” Zou Wen could not help but remind him.

It was clearly estimated to be worth 150 million, why was it only sold for 100 million?

The remaining 50 million was said to be for charity, but who knew if what they said was true?

Why not find another buyer, and each person could get an additional 10 million!

Lin Bai guessed Zou Wen’s thoughts, but he didn’t intend to explain it here. He only said, “For the remaining 50 million, we need to know what they donated to do, which is the so-called details of the charity.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they looked up to Lin Bai.

Then, they heard Lin Bai say, “I’ll donate another 10 million.”

“A group like yours should have already formed their own charity team, right?”

Lin Bai’s question made them stunned for a moment. Then, they smiled and said, “Of course. If you want to investigate, you’re welcome to do so.”

Yu Jinmo also said, “I’ll donate 10 million as well. Deduct it from the 100 million.”

Luo Yang looked at Lin Bai’s sudden mention of the donation and thought about how he had suddenly made so much money with Lin Bai. It was impossible for him to say that he was not anxious. However, doing charity to accumulate merit made Luo Yang’s eyes light up.

But to donate so much like Lin Bai…

Luo Yang felt a little agonised.

After a long while, Luo Yang endured his heartache and said, “Then I’ll donate three million as well, as merit.”

Sun Xiaogang said, “I’ll donate three million too.”

Sun Xiaogang said this because he had considered the fact that Lin Bai was going to start a technology company in the future. The investment would definitely not be small.

Moreover, the sudden change from 30,000 to 20 million made Sun Xiaogang a little anxious. Plus, Luo Yang said that he would accumulate merit, which made Sun Xiaogang think of his parents. He immediately decided to donate three million.

Zou Wen saw that everyone had donated, so it didn’t seem right for him not to donate.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll donate 3,000,000 as well.”

However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

He could clearly…

The matter was settled just like that. Lin Bai and the others made a deal on the spot and signed the donation contract. Then, they came out of the Treasures Boutique with a look of realization on their faces.

The Sun outside was shining on their bodies, and the air on the road in the distance was a little distorted due to the color of the weather.

Zou Wen, who had the money in his hands, was no longer complaining. He looked at the balance of his cell phone, text message, and bank card in disbelief and muttered, “You got rich just like that?”

Luo Yang laughed and put his arm around Zou Wen’s shoulder, saying, “Didn’t you say at that time that people bought stalls to cheat people?”

Zou Wen laughed embarrassedly and said, “It’s not because there were too many scams.”

Then, Zou Wen looked at Lin Bai and asked in confusion, “Boss, that person said that he could give…”

Zou Wen made a gesture of 150 million and asked again, “Why did you only sell it for 100 million and donate so much?”

Lin Bai thought for a moment and said, “Then why do you think that stall owner only sold it for 150,000 when he clearly knew the value of this thing?”

Zou Wen touched his nose and said, “How would I know?”

Lin Bai said, “To be honest, I don’t understand either. But after listening to those bosses, my intuition tells me that it’s not wrong to donate more.”

The word ‘intuition’made everyone speechless. However, when they thought of the money that Lin Bai earned based on his intuition, they couldn’t help but believe Lin Bai’s words.

Luo Yang touched his head and sighed, “Boss’s sixth sense is very powerful. Maybe he accidentally saw the future and did this.”
