Chapter 560 A Humiliating Auction!
Having dealt with the matters at hand, Song Yun planned to personally go to Forty-nine City to pick up Ye Qingqing and her group.
But before leaving, he received a phone call from the Ouyang Family patriarch.
"Song Yun, there's an auction tomorrow in Forty-nine City, care to join?"

"Auction?"
"Yes, not only will I be there, but all the notable families in Forty-nine City will be in attendance!"
Song Yun was slightly taken aback by the Ouyang patriarch's words, as he knew that the old man generally disliked making a show in such matters.
Not to mention dragging him along to make an appearance. Could there be something he didn't know?
"Patriarch, give me some background, are there going to be some important figures attending tomorrow?"
Song Yun cautiously asked.
Who would have expected that the Ouyang patriarch would fall silent on the other end of the phone, and finally let out a sigh, speaking slowly, "Don't ask, just bring enough money."
As the Ouyang patriarch hung up the phone, Song Yun scratched his head, the feeling of being kept in suspense was truly unpleasant!
He first went to see his old man to ask if he wanted to go with him to Forty-nine City.
But due to Tie Mu and the heavy workload at the research institute, Song Bu could only regretfully decline.
On his trip to Forty-nine City, Song Yun only took Huang Baoding with him. The two flew on a private plane and arrived in Forty-nine City in the afternoon.
After leaving the airport, a driver from the Ouyang Family was already waiting quietly.@@@@
Once in the car, Song Yun noticed a middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat, a stranger he had never seen before!
The man appeared to be over forty, an age when a man's energy, strength, and experience are at their peak.
"Hello, President Song, I'm the patriarch's new assistant, my name is Yang Jiahao, you can call me Xiao Yang."
"No, no, no, with your age, calling you Uncle Yang would be more than appropriate."
Song Yun said politely, "May I know if the patriarch called me here in such a hurry just for the auction tomorrow?"
"This..."
Yang Jiahao's expression turned somewhat grim. His fists were clenched, and it seemed as though a fury was hidden deep within his eyes!
"You better not mention this in front of the patriarch. Last night, the patriarch already fainted from anger over this and had it not been for the timely rescue by the doctors, he might have..."
"Damn it!"
"Heh, you can't believe it either, right? Someone's trying to make money from an object stolen from our family, the shame of it!"
The Ouyang patriarch said with a mournful laugh, "But we have no choice but to take the bait, because it's not just an antique. It's the beginning of a tragic era! It's a piece of history that cannot be forgotten!"
"Fuck!"
Song Yun clenched his fists tightly, feeling an urge to start a fight with someone!
Just as the Ouyang patriarch had said, the artifact itself wasn't of great value, but what it symbolized was a pain that could not be erased from the heart of any compatriot!
"So no matter what, I must attend the auction tomorrow! Even if I'm carried there, I must see it with my own eyes returning to our home!"
The Ouyang patriarch said with a resolute tone.
Song Yun took a deep breath and began to check the Ouyang patriarch's pulse on his own initiative.
Truth be told, the patriarch's condition was very poor, but it was only because of the timely medical intervention that no complications ensued.
This was indeed a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.
Still, even so, the idea of him walking around tomorrow was unrealistic.
Under the hopeful gaze of the Ouyang patriarch, Song Yun clenched his teeth and asked, "Do you have to go?"
"I must go!"
"Alright!"
Song Yun no longer planned to treat the patriarch in conventional ways.
Since the other party's condition was due to the anger affecting his heart meridians, he decided to directly channel True Qi to protect the heart meridians and for a bit of nourishment.
The treatment lasted till the evening, and Song Yun was barely able to open his eyes. At that moment, he was as weak as if all the energy had been drained from his body, lacking even the strength to move his fingers.
At this point, forget a master combatant; even a child wielding a weapon could have taken Song Yun down without a fight.
"You should have a good night's sleep tonight. I promise you will be able to walk tomorrow."
Song Yun said with a hoarse voice.
The Ouyang patriarch, seeing Song Yun's condition, knew the price the other had paid for his health!
"Little Yang, take Song Yun and rest in the ward next door!"
"Yes!"
Yang Jiahao and Huang Baoding supported Song Yun as they left the room.
The ward area for veteran cadres was usually full, so making room at short notice was extremely difficult, but thanks to the patriarch's orders, everything was arranged properly within half an hour.
