Rolls-Royce Phantom and Maybach were known for being owned by individuals of high status and wealth. People who ride in these cars were typically considered to be quite prestigious. Xia Mo and Chu Tian stepped out of the car and commented, Its really crowded today. Why are there so many important figures and even foreign owners here at the court? Could it be that theyre planning to take over your property?

Chu Tian looked at the boss cars nearby and said with a smile, I dont know, maybe theres something else. Lets go, sister. Its almost time.

Hmm.

Xia Mo did not think too much about this question. After locking the car, she went directly up the stairs with Chu Tian.

At the entrance of the court, when Chu Tian and Xia Mo came up the stairs, a few police officers were guarding the door.

Seeing Chu Tian and Xia Mo come over, a police officer stepped forward and made a stop for them.

Chu Tian took out his ID card and said, Hello, comrade. Im here to participate in the courts offline auction. This is my ID card, and I registered here a few days ago.

The police officer took it. He first brushed Chu Tians ID card on something similar to a POS machine and checked his registration record before returning the ID. Then he looked at Xia Mo and said, Comrade, where is your ID card?

Xia Mo, speechless, puckered her lips and said: How is an auction so strict?

As she spoke, Xia Mo took out her police officer card from her pocket and handed it to the bailiff. I dont have an ID card. This is my police officer card.

The bailiff took a look and returned it to Xia Mo with a smile. Officer Xia, wait a moment. Ill give you your auction cards.

As he spoke, the bailiff came to a box beside him. He rummaged through it and took out a bid with the number 224.

This auction card No. 224 is your exclusive auction card. Each persons auction card corresponds to their identity. Dont exchange it with others randomly, or you might get mixed up.

Understood. Chu Tian took it with a smile and said, Comrade, can we go in?

Sure. The bailiff made way, then took out a booklet and handed it to Xia Mo. This is a one-time auction today. Its all inside. You can take a look.

Thank you, Xia Mo smiled and took the booklet, then walked into the courtroom with Chu Tian.

Since it was almost time, most of the seats in the jury area had already been filled. Chu Tian and Xia Mo found two empty seats and sat down. They exchanged smiles, and Xia Mo remarked, Its my first time in a courtroom. I didnt expect it to be for an auction.

Its best to participate in the auction. Xia Mo smiled. Otherwise, it wouldnt be good.

Because the normal situation in court, it must be something wrong, either as the plaintiff or as the defendant. When the accused, he committed a crime. Being a plaintiff was being harmed by someone else. So, whether it was the plaintiff or the defendant, it was just like what Xia Mo said, it was not a good thing.

As she spoke, Xia Mo crossed her right leg over her left leg, folding them comfortably as she leaned back in her seat. She opened the thin booklet in her hand and began perusing its contents.

Its what was printed for this auction.

It was a large replica. One floor was 180 square meters. The upper and lower floors were 360 square meters. Moreover, the location of the residential area was very good. It was a famous high-end residential area in Haicheng. It was next to the bank, school, and business district.

However, the starting price was very cheap, only 35 million.

Seeing this, Xia Mo couldnt help but look at Chu Tian and said, Hey, Chu Tian, look, its so cheap. Its a 360-degree replica. Its only a starting price of 35 million. This is a high-end residential area. Ive heard that one square meter in this residential area is 140,000 to 150,000. Under normal circumstances, this set of duplexes would have to be over 50 million.

Sis, theres still an auction. Chu Tian said with a smile, 35 million is just the starting bid price. How much the final transaction price is not certain.

I know. Xia Mo smiled and said, So, you took a fancy to this house?

No. Chu Tian shook his head and said, Im not interested in this house.

Not like that?

Xia Mo flipped back a page, and a villa entered her sight.

Three-story single-family villa with a 500-square-meter courtyard, geographical location was also very good, a famous villa community in Haicheng, and the starting price is 80 million.

Xia Mo smiled at Chu Tian and said, Is it this villa? Thats good. Its a 500-square-meter courtyard. This villa is worth 130 million, right?

Chu Tian smiled and shook his head, saying, Its not like that.

Xia Mo was puzzled for a moment before flipping over again.

Very quickly, the five houses in this auction, two villas, one duplex, and two ordinary houses, Xia Mo asked Chu Tian once, but none of them was what he wanted.

There was only one last page left.

Xia Mo flipped to the last page, and suddenly, as if she had discovered something, her eyes widened.

Auction ID: 00145250

Auction party: Haicheng Peoples Court.

Jude Villa, located in Dongyang Street the actual floor area is 77 mu (about 51282 square meters) Legal residence, complete certificate, starting bid price: 3.1 billion RMB.

As Xia Mo stared blankly at the last auction property listed in the booklet, her breath seemed to catch in her throat.

It couldnt be!

Could it be Chu Tians purpose today, was this villa?
