Be involved in a murder scene
The masked man said, "This is Mrs. Erlan's birth certificate. You can take a look at her birth date, 110 years ago. I bought this necklace seven years ago, and the certificate is in the auction house. After that, you can find someone to verify its authenticity. I believe everyone's eyes are sharp. I believe everyone knows the value of this necklace. Without further ado, please make your bids."
At this point, the crowd was already boiling with excitement.
"I bid 90 million!"
"I'll pay 100 million!"
"120 million!"
"200 million!"
… …
The price tag grew higher and higher until it reached a sky-high price of 400 million.
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched. She didn't quite understand why everyone was so crazy about spending so much money on an unknown gemstone necklace that had no scientific basis. She felt that it was more effective to keep working out every day than to wear a gemstone.
Whoever bought this was an idiot!
Just as Qiao Qiao was thinking about this, He Shaochen raised the sign.
"One billion."
He Shaochen's voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the noisy venue.
Qiao Qiao's figure flashed, and she almost slipped off the chair. She turned her head mechanically and looked at the 'idiot' beside her. So, among these people, this was the dumbest one!
"You're crazy!"
Qiao Qiao said angrily in a low voice.
One billion! Kiss!
Other people would add tens of millions, but this guy actually added one billion in one breath. Did he have so much money that he didn't know where to spend it?
Do you think it's 10 yuan?
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows. His eyes were locked onto the gemstone necklace. "I'm not crazy."
He Shaochen couldn't remain calm after hearing the rumors about the gemstone necklace.
Prolong life?
Strengthening the Physique?
Wasn't this custom-made for Qiao Qiao?
Her body had always been weak. Now that she was pregnant, the slightest mistake could cause an accident. He Shaochen couldn't always stay by her side to protect her. Even if it was just a rumored necklace, as long as it had a little bit of effect, it was worth it for He Shaochen to spend any amount of money.
The man with the silver mask's gaze fell on He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao. His lips curled, and a meaningful smile flashed across his eyes.
The host was stunned again. He opened his mouth, and after a long while, he found his voice.
"One … One billion! Now, No. 17 has offered one billion! Is there anyone who wants to offer a higher price? "
One billion. Even for the wealthy merchants present, it was an amount that they would not easily take out.
But He Shaochen casually said this terrible number.
This was simply an overwhelming number!
It! Was his wealth!
Qiao Qiao covered her face. She now regretted letting He Shaochen bring her to this stupid auction.
She hoped that someone would offer another price to push down the one billion.
Unfortunately, no one else bid. One billion should be more than enough to buy dozens of diamond necklaces.
"Good! One billion going once … "
The host counted down excitedly.
The venue was silent.
Qiao Qiao was disheartened.
"One billion going twice!"
Still silence.
Qiao Qiao's soul was about to float away.
"One billion going thrice! Good, this Tear of Seductress belongs to No. 17 again! "The host shouted excitedly at the top of his voice.
Thunderous applause sounded in the venue.
Qiao Qiao's face was covered in tears. She fell to the ground.
One billion.
Gone just like that …
Everyone in the venue was talking. Ravel also looked at He Shaochen differently. He chuckled. "Throwing money away for a beauty. I've always heard that his Clan's wealth is comparable to that of a country. Now, it seems that they live up to their reputation. 10 million is just an appetizer for him."
Ravel retracted his gaze and looked at Lacey. He saw that her eyes were locked on the man in the silver mask on the stage.
"Lacey?"
Ravel called Lacey.
Lacey came back to her senses. "Yes! Your Highness! "
"What's wrong? You don't look well? "
Ravel reached out and touched Lacey's forehead.
Lacey instinctively dodged. She shook her head and whispered, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. Can I go to the bathroom?"
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Ravel asked.
Lacey shook her head and said tactfully, "There's no need to trouble Your Highness. It's just a woman's periodic discomfort."
Ravel immediately understood. He coughed and nodded. "Well, I know. You can go."
Lacey quietly walked out of the venue. Inside the venue, everyone was still bidding. She glanced around from the corner of her eyes. The masked man was no longer on the stage.
Was it an illusion?
She touched her wildly beating heart. She was a little confused.
She felt like she had seen that man somewhere.
She went to the bathroom, intending to wake herself up.
When she came out, a hand attacked her. A dangerous aura hit her in the face. Lacey's pupils suddenly shrank. Her body instinctively began to move. She quickly pulled out a miniature pistol from her sleeve and pointed it at the person. Her eyes were as sharp as a lone beast.
"Who are you? Why are you following me? "
"Oh, Lacey Brittany Isabelle, you're still so agile." The person who came was the man in the silver mask on the stage just now.
Lacey didn't let down her guard. Instead, because of the man's appearance, her whole body tensed up. She narrowed her eyes. Her voice was so cold that it could freeze people. "Do I know you?"
The man chuckled and then said a code.
As the code was said, Lacey's expression began to loosen.
Her eyes kept widening. She looked at the man in shock. "Could it be that you are …"
The man unbuttoned his shirt collar. There was a tattoo of a J near his heart. However, this tattoo was different from Lacey's and Adam's. This was because the J was blood red, while Lacey's and Adam's were cyan.
In the J Organisation, members would have a J tattoo. This was how they identified their companions. The color was to identify their rank.
In the J Organisation, there were a total of five colors. Green, purple, cyan, red, and black.
In order of rank, black was the leader of the J Organization, and there were no more than three people in the organization. Red was their main executive, and they had the privilege of being second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. Next was the cadre level of cyan. Green and purple members were the most numerous. These people might be lawyers or doctors in their daily lives, but most of them were the higher-ups of the J Organization that were placed in Country J.
The silver masked man's tattoo was red. This meant that he was Lacey's direct superior.
Lacey immediately put away her pistol and bowed respectfully. "Sir, I was rude."
The man raised his eyebrows. "I didn't mean to blame you. There's no need to be so flustered."
Lacey's heart was thumping. Every time someone from the organization came, she would always have a bad feeling. When she saw the man standing on the stage just now, Lacey's premonition was especially strong. "Your Excellency, why have you suddenly come here?"
"Of course I'm here for a mission. Do you want to know?" The man smiled wickedly. His gaze was focused on her, making her hair stand on end.
"No, if there's anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to ask." Lacey said softly.
The man thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I do have something I need your help with."
Lacey raised her head and asked, "May I ask what you need my help with?"
As long as it wasn't related to Ravel, it was fine.
Lacey's face was a little nervous.
The man smiled and walked towards her step by step. His body leaned forward slightly. His lips were close to her ear as he whispered, "This matter requires your personal cooperation. The higher-ups are very dissatisfied with your recent actions, so they sent me to purge you. Can you please just die like this?"
Lacey only felt a cold and hard object against her chest. Her eyes suddenly widened.
"Bang!"
A very soft sound rang out. The man was holding a gun that had obviously been silenced.
On the other side.
Qiao Qiao was also walking in the direction of the bathroom. She pressed her head, and her whole person was still a little confused.
Thinking of He Shaochen's infuriating words, she felt her headache getting worse.
"That bastard, even if he has money, he shouldn't waste it like this."
Qiao Qiao muttered.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front of them.
It seemed like they were chasing after something.
"It's useless. Everyone here is my people."
A haughty boy came over. Listening to the voice, there was also a coarse female voice. Qiao Qiao didn't know why, but she unexpectedly hid at the side of the corner.
And the man and woman happened to be on the other side of the corner.
Lacey's shoulder was hit. Her forehead was full of cold sweat. She didn't say a word. Her emerald eyes were cold as she looked at the man in front of her.
"There will be a big explosion here soon. When the time comes, your death will be disguised as being killed by a collapsed building. As a subordinate, you should listen to the orders of your superior, shouldn't you? Why did you run? "The man asked.
What's going on?
Is this a murder?
Qiao Qiao covered her mouth tightly. She was now in the emergency passage, but the exit was blocked. If these two people walked forward a little more, they would find her. At that time, would she be innocently implicated?
Isn't this very likely?
Why did I come out today?
Qiao Qiao wanted to smash the floor.
She could only hold her breath and minimize her presence as much as possible, praying that those people wouldn't come closer.
Lacey looked at the man and asked, "Why did the organization want to kill me? My mission didn't go wrong. "
"Hehe, nothing went wrong? It's precisely because your mission is so easy that there's no improvement that the organization sent me here. "
"What?"
"Following Ravel every day, are you a little too happy to think about home?" The man smiled sarcastically.
Lacey pressed her shoulder, blinked hard, and shook her head. "I didn't mean that!"
"Heh, but your actions don't say that, Lacey. Don't tell me you fell in love with that handsome little prince and slacked off on your mission?"
Lacey: "…"
The man narrowed his eyes and said, "The organization doesn't raise trash, and will not allow a person who intends to betray the organization to live in this world."
Lacey's vision became more and more blurred. It seemed that the man's bullets were smeared with a special medicine to prevent such a thing from happening.
Her body became weaker and weaker, but Lacey could only force herself to hold on. If she collapsed, everything would be over.
"Don't waste everyone's time. Die quietly, Lacey." The man said calmly to Lacey.
He was about to shoot when a surprised voice sounded. "Who are you people?"
The man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The bodyguard of the rich businessman didn't even have time to shoot before he was shot dead by the man.
There was no gunshot at all, but people fell to the ground.
One of them fell in the alley where Qiao Qiao was. Blood slowly seeped out from the wound, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She covered her mouth with both hands. Her legs were weak and her heart was beating violently.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
It was as if she was about to jump out.
Too bad!
Too bad!
If that man saw her, he would definitely kill her like how he killed these people.
Why didn't she call for the bodyguards?
Qiao Qiao hoped that the man would turn around and leave, but the heavens seemed to be against her. The man's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Qiao Qiao's body was soaked in cold sweat. She couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. It's over, I'm dead!
