That night, Xia Yu practiced all night long. Although he made little progress, he was still better than not practicing at all.
The next day, the two pretended to be a couple again and secretly followed the two scholars around Miami. At night, the hotel they were in had many tough security guards, and the top floor was under martial law.
, only those with invitations can enter.
At 9:50 pm, Xia Yu and Korkina followed the two scholars to the top floor and entered the auction hall. Their seats were right behind the two scholars, which was a very ideal position.
In the splendid hall, the rich man with a big belly and the ladies in luxurious clothes have arrived. As the auctioneer in a tuxedo walks up to the rostrum, the auction begins.
…
Xia Yu didn't have much interest in gems and other things. Unless he wanted to bring some gifts to his wife or lover, he would disdain them at other times.
Strictly speaking, things like diamonds and gems are valuable when everyone recognizes their value. But if everyone's interests change, it's hard to say how valuable they are. Especially priceless diamonds.
, not only Xia Yu, but now even the woman Korkina is no longer interested.
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable. Gemstones such as rubies and sapphires are relatively rare, but diamonds are different. Diamonds were once indeed rare, but then one time, a crater with huge diamond reserves was discovered in Russia.
There are diamonds everywhere inside.
Not long after this news came out, the price of diamonds dropped a lot, but soon a bunch of experts came out and said it was a rumor, citing astronomy and physics, and using a bunch of high-level-sounding words to list a bunch of
The theory that ordinary people couldn't understand proved that it was impossible to find so many diamonds in Russia. As a result, the price of diamonds rose again.
But in fact, the company that originally monopolized the supply of diamonds has reached an agreement with Russia to jointly divide the diamond market. As for how those experts’ theoretical proofs were obtained, there is no need to ask more. Spend some money these days.
The matter of land washing is no longer news.
Therefore, Xia Yu and the others have no interest in constantly selling high-priced gems. Their attention is focused on possible changes. However, the auction has been going on for thirty minutes and everything is still normal.
They didn't know that although everything was normal at the auction, three black minibuses appeared at the front and rear doors of the hotel. After the doors opened, dozens of men wearing hoods and black clothes filed in.
They all wore body armor and were fully armed. Their attires were typical of Magnesium's special forces, and their weapons were all Magnesium's standard equipment.
After getting out of the car, everyone entered the hotel without saying a word. After a few gunshots, all the doors on the first floor of the hotel were closed. Then, starting from the first floor, the lights of the hotel were extinguished.
After a while, the front door of the hotel opened a crack, and one after another disheveled men and women ran out in panic.
In just ten minutes, the hotel was already deserted except for the auction venue on the top floor. Only the lights on the top floor were still on. None of the rich and famous ladies in the auction knew that they had become members of the hotel.
The last batch of customers.
…
"Fifty million times!"
"Twice fifty million!"
"five……"
The auctioneer's voice stopped suddenly. People in the distance could only see his mouth moving but could not hear what he was saying. There seemed to be a problem with his microphone.
Korkina just sat upright vigilantly, and was immediately pulled into Xia Yu's arms. Xia Yu hugged her tightly and whispered: "Like others, point to the podium and make a mocking look."
Korkina blushed and realized that her actions just now were a bit special. She pointed at the rostrum as Xia Yu said, with a smile on her face, but she said: "Boss, I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment.
Already."
"It's okay, maybe it was just an accident!"
Before Xia Yu finished speaking, a chuckle suddenly appeared in the speaker. It was an unfamiliar voice, definitely not the auctioneer's.
"Girls and gentlemen, good evening, everyone!" A slightly sharp man's voice came from the loudspeaker.
Wow...
Everyone present looked surprised, and some people were still asking loudly: "Auctioneer, what's going on? What's going on?"
The auctioneer was also confused. He spread his hands and said that he didn't know. At the same time, he gestured to the security guards of the surrounding auction houses and asked them to quickly protect the auction items on site.
Before the strong security guards around him could take action, a dozen heavily armed soldiers suddenly jumped down from above. Seeing that the situation was not good, the security guards reacted quickly and quickly reached for their guns. However, those soldiers were more agile and killed the security guards with just a few gun butts.
They were all knocked to the ground.
"Ah! What's going on?"
"Run!"
The sudden change shocked the audience, and they all got up and ran towards the door.
Bang bang bang!
Several crisp gunshots came from the gate. The gate opened, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition walked towards the crowd with their guns raised.
Chug tug tug...
The soldier in the middle pulled the trigger, and the M16 assault rifle spurted out a tongue of flame, spraying bright blood on the legs of the people running in front.
A few unlucky ones screamed and rolled on the ground, and the crowd stopped and looked at the row of black gun muzzles in horror. After a short silence, the sound of crying rang out from the crowd.
At this time, the male voice came from the loudspeaker again, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic! Give everyone three minutes, please return to your seat, lower your head and hug your thighs, just like you are in an emergency on an airplane.
Do you understand?"
Everyone seemed to be frightened and stood there, not daring to move.
Bang bang bang!
The soldier who had just shot and wounded someone took out his pistol and fired several shots into the air. He said in a ferocious voice, "Don't you understand? If he doesn't return to his seat in three minutes, I will blow his head off! Do you hear that?"
"
More cries rang out, and like frightened deer, everyone returned to their seats, bowed their heads and hugged their thighs. As for the unlucky ones who were shot in the legs,
Then he was dragged by several soldiers and stuffed into the seat next to him.
"Very good...everyone is very obedient!" the sharp male voice sounded again. A door behind the rostrum slowly opened, and a tall man walked out slowly with a microphone...
