Xie Yuqing was startled and quickly raised the bracelet box in her hand.
"I'm looking for Mr. Russell."
The two sturdy bodyguards blocking the front looked at each other, and the one who spoke just now couldn't help but said, "This is a gift from Mr. Russell. You can keep it, but he doesn't want to see you."
The bodyguard's tone softened, but his hand pressed back on the floor very neatly.
As the elevator door slowly closed, Xie Yuqing was helpless.
What is this thing called?
Why do those big guys like to be mysterious?
The elevator returns to the lobby on the first floor.
As Xie Yuqing walked to the auction venue, she took out her mobile phone and clicked on the Facebook friend bar.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Aric:
【Vita Xie:Hello? Are you in London?】
Even though the balance in her heart has already shifted towards Mr. Russell, that is, Aric, what if some old pervert deliberately teased her?
She is not narcissistic, it’s just that people in today’s society are dangerous, and there are many guys in Europe and the United States with weird habits, which are frightening.
However, Aric soon sent a reply.
[Aric Russell: Well, I saw you accidentally. 】
[Aric Russell: I bought the bracelet casually from the store next door. It’s not expensive.]
In just two sentences, Xie Yuqing understood the whole story.
But she still felt weird.
[Vita Xie: Thank you...but actually, I don’t need to. I don’t wear those things, they feel cumbersome.]
[Vita Xie: But why are you also at the auction? I thought you were Chinese? 】
With that said, she stuffed the box containing the bracelet into her bag.
Although she and Aric can only be regarded as online friends who have just met, but for some reason, the other party gives people a sincere and reliable feeling.
Especially his just-right concern, no more and no less, just comforted her.
Since he said the bracelet is not expensive, it must be true that it is not expensive.
Maybe the sparkling pearls and sapphires on it are synthetic.
Who would be stupid enough to give an expensive gift to a "net friend" whom they just met? He is not a wealthy person who is stupid and has a lot of money.
By the way, the security guard said he was wearing a mask...
Could it be that his face was injured and he didn't want to see anyone?
Recalling what the security guard said just now, this possibility suddenly flashed through Xie Yuqing's mind.
She walked into the venue thoughtfully, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Zhong Yao, who was sitting in the south corner, happened to turn his head, saw her, and nodded to her without leaving a trace.
I knew that Weisheng Jue Ling could not only have such an invitation letter. These guys must be targeting some Xiao Jiujiu.
Xie Yuqing pretended not to see him, and chose the seat at the back of the row to sit down.
The back seat helped her take in all the guests.
At this time, Aric replied to her.
[Aric Russell: Yes...I'm here to meet someone.]
[Vita Xie: Oh, can you do me a favor? 】
【Aric Russell:You say.】
[Vita Xie: Are there many private rooms on the second floor? Do you know how many people are there? 】
After a while.
[Aric Russell: Maybe not many, just a dozen or so, what’s wrong? 】
[Vita Xie: Are there any middle-aged Hispanic men over there? 】
[Aric Russell: There may be middle-aged men, but Hispanics...are hard to recognize.]
Xie Yuqing also knows this truth.
[Vita Xie: Can you tell by the accent? 】
[Aric Russell: Yes, but each box is independent and you cannot see others.]
Xie Yuqing was a little disappointed, but this result was expected.
She hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay."
Then he pressed the phone.
At this time, the lights dimmed, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked up to the auction stage and bowed to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am your old friend Jonson."
"Today's auction is supported by the Ginkgo Life Extension Fund and Ginkgo Joint Laboratories. Thank you to them."
The auctioneer on the stage began to make an eloquent opening speech.
Ginkgo again?
She really has a connection with this word...
The moment Xie Yuqing was stunned, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated.
[Aric Russell: Is the middle-aged Hispanic you mentioned important to you? 】
She dimmed the screen light and solemnly replied with these four words:
【Vita Xie: Life is at stake.】
Maybe the word was a bit too strong and it shocked the other party. After a while, Aric asked:
[Aric Russell: Are there any other characteristics? 】
Xie Yuqing paused and realized that the other party seemed to be willing to help her.
So I organized my wording and explained half-truly and half-falsely:
[Vita Xie: No... Actually, my identity was stolen by that person. I was afraid that he would use my identity to do illegal things, and then I would be dead b.b (crying)]
【Aric Russell:……】
[Aric Russell: I understand, let me help you pay attention. 】
Xie Yuqing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the message from Aric.
Just now, she wanted to be shameless and let him walk around the second floor to help her take a look, but she didn't have the nerve after all.
No, now the other party has taken the initiative to propose it.
Xie Yuqing felt much more relaxed and glanced at the main venue.
Almost all of the hundreds of seats were occupied.
However, she only needs to pay attention to those who raise their hands to bid.
After all, that "rs" didn't come to the auction just to visit.
According to her intuition, she should be here for the last two mysterious treasures.
However, what surprised her was that the previous twenty or so treasures were all taken away by the same Hong Kong rich man.
So rich.
Xie Yuqing was envious in her heart, but from time to time she cast her eyes towards Zhong Yao in the distance.
Zhong Yao was always sitting like a rock. If his back hadn't been straight, she would have suspected that he had fallen asleep.
Before the last two mysterious treasures were auctioned, the auctioneer announced a five-minute intermission.
Noticing Zhong Yao's gesture to her, Xie Yuqing couldn't help but get up and walk out.
Turning around the corridor, she was pulled into a corner.
Xie Yuqing knew who it was without looking, "Didn't you say it was just an invitation letter?"
Zhong Yao stood at the corner of the long corridor and the corridor, paying attention to the guests with a vague gaze, but he did not delay at all when he said sarcastically, "I mean, I just prepared one for you."
"...Tch, it's a word game." Xie Yuqing curled her lips and said, "There are so many pictures that I can't even get up to the second floor."
"What?" Zhong Yao raised his eyebrows.
"The VIP box is on the second floor." Xie Yuqing pointed upward.
Zhong Yao said, "That's a place prepared for big customers. We didn't entrust goods this time. It's better to keep a low profile."
He paused and said, "Besides, the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake. London is not our territory."
"Then where is your territory?" Xie Yuqing asked curiously.
"It's not you, it's us." Zhong Yao corrected, and then said, "Sir, he grew up in Germany. Xingluo's headquarters is in Berlin. You will have the opportunity to see it."
Xie Yuqing was noncommittal, "His name sounds quite Chinese."
It's being modified, I'll check it out tomorrow morning~
