They immediately looked over, only to see that the bidder was an exceedingly ordinary man, which took them by surprise. Scanning his surroundings, they found no suspicious Eastern woman.
Yiren's heart sank. The woman hadn't shown up in person?
Impossible. These two items were of significant importance to the Hua family. How could she not attend the auction herself? She must be hiding somewhere, covertly directing the bidding.
Therefore, they had to watch closely, to seek out this woman through the actions of the bidder.
Yiren immediately gestured for a subordinate to come over and whispered a command in his ear:
"Keep a close eye on this man. See who he frequently glances at; that person must be his master. Also, have our people continuously join in the bidding and drive up the price. I refuse to believe that woman can restrain herself. The moment she loses her composure and slips up, we'll know who she is."
