Lin Qing'an stiffened.

The first auction item has been presented in the center of the auction stage. It is a blue and white porcelain from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Qingan has no research on antiques, in her opinion, no matter how old the antiques are, they are all fragile in the end, and they are really not worth spending a lot of money to buy. But when she needs to sell jewelry to make ends meet, of course, she hopes that the more wronged people she has, the better......

The man leaned back on the sofa casually, and seemed to be uninterested in the first antique. He ate two small biscuits very calmly, and took a sip of the tea in the teacup.

The roots of Lin Qing'an's ears were red with shame - it was the cup she had drunk tea from......

The man took two sips of tea and glanced at her: "Asian? Sotheby's auction house does not prepare this tea for Europeans. ”

Lin Qingan was silent for a while, and said, "What nationality am I, and it won't hinder you."

The man's lips under the mask were slightly curved: "Miss An, I'm really getting more and more curious about your true appearance."

Lin Qingan lowered her eyes helplessly, and whispered in her heart to comfort the two children in her belly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mom will protect your ......"

In any case, she would not have removed the feather mask from her face. If a man sees her face under the mask, it will be easy for a man to find her or even kill her in the future......

Fortunately, the man did not continue to interrogate. He really didn't care about Lin Qing'an's identity, for him, only another person's life was more tempting......

Not long after the auction began, Huo Zhen and Li Wangshu hurriedly went upstairs to the VIP box that Juliet had booked for them in advance, guided by the waiter. Juliet originally planned to accompany Huo Zhen to come, but there were some things that she needed to deal with temporarily. This great beauty had to leave first. When Juliet was leaving, she looked at Huo Zhen's eyes extremely hot, even a fool could detect the enthusiasm of the Italian beauty, but Huo Zhen was unmoved, and his face was still extremely cold. Juliet reluctantly said goodbye to him.

If Li Wangshu hadn't known that Huo Zhen had been crazy about a certain woman, he really couldn't help but doubt Huo Zhen's sexual orientation......

After all, from the perspective of a normal man, Juliet has golden eyes and a slender figure, and she can indeed be regarded as a peerless beauty.

There was a traffic jam on the way here, Huo Zhen sat down in the box a little upset, picked up the auction list on the table and looked through it, as expected, it was still some antique vase ornaments and the like.

Huo Zhen turned to the last page of the list, and his eyes suddenly became a little calm.

A pigeon's blood red ruby ring, lying quietly in a velvet jewelry box, exudes an incomparable luster.

Huo Zhen could imagine what it would be like to wear such a precious and beautiful ring on someone's white and slender finger.

Even as you can see from the picture, this ruby ring has an extremely visible crack. The caption under the picture also specifically points this out, and it still does not detract from the beauty of this ring.

It can even be said that this crack has added a touch of vicissitudes to this pigeon's blood.

He stared at the pigeon blood red on the picture persistently, and even Li Wangshu noticed Huo Zhen's impatience, and asked him tentatively: "Boss, have you taken a fancy to this ring?" ”

Huo Zhen nodded and said lightly, "It looks pretty good." ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Wangshu didn't dare to remind Huo Zhen that Mrs. Huo's whereabouts are unknown now, and she doesn't know the fact that she is alive or dead. But Huo Zhen said in a low voice as if he didn't care much: "This ring is very suitable for her, so it doesn't hurt to buy it first." ”

When the words fell, even Huo Zhen himself smiled a little distractedly, and he looked at Li Wangshu: "Do you also think that I am self-inflicted?" ”

Li Wangshu said obediently: "Eh, boss, is this matter of feelings...... Like a man drinking water......"

Huo Zhen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I know how cold and warm I am." ”

Yes, I know it.

It was only ten meters away, and he sat on the sofa with pins and needles in his thoughts, secretly praying in his heart that this damn auction would be over soon.

Lin Qing'an sat silently for a while, still unable to guess what kind of motive this man had in coming, so he simply asked him directly: "Do you want a certain item in the auction?" ”

She didn't know how this person went through the security check with a gun, but a normal person would never pull out a gun to threaten a pregnant woman just to rub a box, right?

The man raised his eyebrows, and there was a kind of dislike in his tone: "Of course, it's for killing." ”

Lin Qing'an's heart was shocked, she forcibly suppressed the discomfort that was churning up in her stomach, and asked tentatively, "Then, can you let me go?" I don't know what you look like, and I will never say it, and I won't delay you from killing people......"

Lin Qingan could only silently pray for the unlucky ghost in her heart at this time. Pray for prayer, she doesn't want to be someone else's substitute......

The man's tone suddenly cooled: "Shut up, don't challenge my patience again." ”

Lin Qing'an was frightened by the coldness in the man's tone, and her stomach suddenly throbbed. Lin Qing'an's face was white, and she sat quietly holding her stomach and no longer spoke.

Seeing that the auction had come to an end, the ruby ring she took out for auction was finally unveiled, and it was cherished by the beautiful emcee and displayed in front of the eyes of all dignitaries......

Lin Qing was anxious - why didn't this man leave? Seeing that the auction has come to an end, what does this man want to do?

But on the round stage, the beautiful emcee has gently introduced this treasure......

"This ruby ring is a very rare pigeon's blood red, a full 3 carat in size. The workmanship, the sheen and the fire are so remarkable that it was once pampered on the fingers of Empress Josephine...... But you may also have noticed a flaw in this ruby ring – there is a very visible crack on the inside of the ruby...... Starts at 900,000 euros! One increase for every 50,000 euros! ”

Huo Zhen had been waiting for this ring, and immediately bid: "Nine hundred and fifty thousand euros." ”

He can still afford this little money.

Lin Qingan didn't know that Huo Zhen was bidding, her heart jumped first, and then she was happy.

As a seller, she's certainly happy to see someone want to buy the ring. The higher the bid, the more she earns.

The man in the delicate feather mask said coldly: "Bid, one million euros." ”

"What?"

Lin Qing'an was taken aback, and she reflexively said, "I don't have any money!" ”

The man glanced at her impatiently: "I'll pay." ”

"But ......"

Before Lin Qingan could say that he was the seller of this ring, the man had already looked at him coldly: "Bid." ”

Lin Qingan had no choice but to press the bidder.

Backstage, Francis, who has been paying attention to the bidding situation, was stunned for a moment after seeing Lin Qing'an's bid, and then secretly thought to himself, could it be that Lin Qing'an deliberately added intensity to the auction of this ring?

But this situation is not impossible.

Huo Zhen frowned.

Although this ring is beautiful and precious, it can dissuade 90% of people from that flaw. After all, the more precious something is, the more flawless it should be. Not everyone thinks that even being mutilated is a kind of beauty.

But it is common for someone to bid.

Huo Zhen's face did not change: "One hundred and fifty thousand." ”

Lin Qing'an's face was bitter: "One million and one hundred thousand...... This gentleman, I really took this ring to auction, and it's not good to raise the price myself......"

The man smiled lowly, not caring at all: "Are you a seller, then it doesn't matter." I just need you to bid. ”

Another box suddenly joined the battle that originally only Huo Zhen and Lin Qingan: "One and two hundred thousand, Lord Trist hopes to get this ring." ”

Lin Qingan was taken aback: "Directly reported the name?" ”

It seems that this lord must be a man of some prestige, and he is trying to make other sellers give up his name.

It's a pity that neither Huo Zhen nor this man is a bone to gnaw on.

Huo Zhen wanted this ruby ring wholeheartedly, but this man ...... But it was bent on provoking this Lord Trist!

Lin Qing'an saw it clearly—just after this Lord Trist made a bid, the man's dark green eyes suddenly burst into extreme light. He stood up, picked up the small pistol that he had placed on the table before, and bowed to Lin Qing'an very gentlemanly: "Thank you, beautiful Miss An." We'll see you later......"

As soon as the man's words fell, Lin Qing'an didn't have time to react, and there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck......

Her eyes went dark and she fell unconscious.

It was only about three or four minutes, and the price of this ring had been raised to a high price of 1.6 million euros by Huo Zhen and Lord Trist...... Lord Trist's face was extremely bad, he was a young man of about thirty, he sat in his box with a grim face, and ordered the attendants behind him to investigate who was so bold and dared not to give Trist face.

The waiter was ordered to push the door open. Immediately after, there were two extremely sharp gunshots, which instantly resounded throughout the auction venue......

The green-eyed man took out a white silk scarf from his arms with great agility, wiped the fingerprints on the handle of the gun, threw the gun directly on the ground, and quickly took advantage of the time when the security guards rushed upstairs to search, and turned around and ran towards the rioting crowd downstairs, and instantly disappeared into the crowd of panic because of the gunshots.

In order to take care of the self-esteem of these nobles, VIP boxes are generally not monitored. As soon as Lord Trist was assassinated, the auction house's security system was already in operation...... But the theme of tonight's auction is a damn "masquerade". Both men and women, with their faces covered with ornate and feathered masks, made it impossible to find out who fired the gun for a while......

The moment the gun rang out, Huo Zhen immediately became alert, got up and left.

Huo Zhen walked out of the box and smelled an extremely strong smell of blood on the tip of his nose. He frowned, and immediately left here with Li Wangshu. As he walked down the circular box, Huo Zhen suddenly saw a black-haired woman with a big belly lying on the sofa with a big belly in a box with the door wide open, wearing a feather mask on her face, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

Huo Zhen glanced at it, and didn't know why, but a feeling of compassion suddenly surged in his heart.

He just raised his foot and wanted to help the black-haired woman, but was pulled down desperately by Li Wangshu in a hurry.

The peculiar feeling disappeared, Huo Zhen didn't think much about it, and left the auction quickly.
