Chapter 524: Accidental Encounter at Auction

Lu Ning felt that he had saved Hayden Christensen's life. Well, Lu Ning thought so anyway. Otherwise, God knows what Natalie would do when she was so angry. Anyway, there is one thing. Lu Ning could guarantee that Hayden Christensen's handsome face would definitely not be able to be kept. If he hadn't hugged Natalie from behind, he would definitely have been kicked looking at Hayden Christensen's handsome face.

At this moment, Natalie still has an indignant expression in the car. With this height, she definitely belongs to the irritable loli style. Well, who said that loli have three good things, soft voice, soft body, and easy to push down? Stand up, Hayden Christensen will never kill you.

"Come on, Natalie, it's nothing." While driving, Lu Ning looked at Natalie's angry little face with a funny look.

"Hmph, it's just a small lesson for him. In fact, Hayden Christensen is a good person, but this mouth is too broken, and he will suffer in the future. It is better for me to help him get rid of this bad habit now."

Haha, a little lesson, looking at Hayden Christensen's pitiful appearance, Lu Ning felt distressed. However, this guy showed a hint of enjoyment at the last moment, thinking about it, this guy would not like to be abused Which kind of it.

As the two talked, Lu Ning had already driven a BMW X5 to the five-star hotel where the "Sotheby's" auction was held tonight. However, it seemed that the time was a little early, and there were still two hours before the auction 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, all-you-can-eat, but, to be honest, for Natalie, this price definitely belongs to Tiankeng, Xiaoni In the evening, I usually don't eat much, and use fruit instead.

"Natalie, I wanted to say it for a long time. The reason for not growing tall must be related to your nutrition." Lu Ning looked at the plate in Natalie's hand, some vegetable salads, a banana, half a Apple and a kiwi, these things can also be called dinner?

Natalie ignored Lu Ning, and instead gave the other a roll of eyes, hmph, how did my mother eat since she was a child, what's the matter?

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

Although Lu Ning ate a lot, but for the price of 58 euros, he only ate half of it at most. It seems that he is far from the highest level of the buffet, and the difference is not a little bit.

"Lu, what exactly did you see in this auction?" Natalie couldn't help her curiosity, but she asked, because when she first entered the door, she deliberately glanced at it, and they were all shareholders. There should be no items that Lu Ning likes, such as vases and porcelain.

"Natalie, do you remember when I was reading "The Collection Booklet of Yuanmingyuan"?" Lu Ning took a sip of champagne and asked.

"Of course, you are saying that there is a collection of Yuanmingyuan in this auction?"

"Well, there is a Haiyan Hall in the Yuanmingyuan, which was designed by the missionary Lang Shining. It is the culmination of Western construction, and the most famous of them are the twelve beast heads that tell the o'clock. There are countless precious cultural relics, including these 12 animal heads."

"Lu, this is an unfortunate history. The barbarism and ignorance of our predecessors destroyed history."

"Yes, it was barbaric. They couldn't take the 12 statues away, so they destroyed the statues and took the 12 heads back to their country."

"So? Are there beast heads in this auction?"

"The heads of animals participating in the auction this time include ox, tiger, monkey, and 3 bronze heads. I'm bound to win this."

The two were no longer discussing such a disappointing issue. Half an hour before the auction started, 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 there were indeed five Chinese people. However, these Lu Nings were not familiar with them. They should not be the kind who came from an aristocratic family. They looked like scholars, two men and three women. A man in his 60s with presbyopic glasses and an intellectual woman in his 40s, the other two women and a man do not look very old, roughly around twenty-four or five.

This kind of combination looks a little weird. When Lu Ning was looking at them, the elderly scholar seemed to see Lu Ning, and he was a little surprised when he saw Lu Ning. It seemed that he recognized Lu Ning's identity and clicked the button. Nodding, it was a greeting, Lu Ning nodded slightly, and took Natalie to the registration office at random to ask for his number plate.

For a rich man like Lu Ning, "Sotheby's" auction house of course attached great importance to it, not only gave the first row of seats, but also a person in charge of the scene personally sent it to the seat to show respect.

The old man who had just nodded with Lu Ning took this weird group of five to the back of the middle, and at this time, the young man couldn't help but asked, "Professor, do you know Lu Ning? "

Obviously, the five people in this group recognized Lu Ning's identity, but the two sides had never had any intersection, so they didn't rush up to say hello.

"I know, but I know him, he doesn't know me." The old man called the professor looked very humorous.

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

"I don't know, but, maybe." The professor called Old Wu also didn't know Lu Ning's purpose.

"Oh, if Lu Ning also came for the bronze head, wouldn't our task be much more difficult?"

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

"Oh, Mr. Han, I'm not in a hurry. You know, we don't have enough funds. If we compete with that Lu Ning, we have no chance of winning."

Yuxin's words made the other four's faces a little ugly. Now, the only hope is that Lu Ning's target must not be ox, tiger, monkey, three bronze heads, otherwise, the five of them are estimated to be in vain. Take a trip.

On the other hand, Lu Ning and Natalie, who were sitting in their seats, were also secretly discussing the group of five they had just seen.

"Lu, you said, did they also come for the bronze head?"

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

"Hehe, it seems that you are not the only one eyeing the bronze head this time."

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