Huo Zhen pulled the car door and strode towards the black-haired woman with a slender back, eagerly reaching out and grabbing the woman's shoulder, but let go in disappointment after the woman turned around in surprise.

"Sorry ......"

Huo Zhen muttered in a low voice, the black-haired woman was stunned for a moment, but after coming back to her senses, she didn't care too much, gave Huo Zhen a warm and understanding smile, and said a difficult language that Huo Zhen couldn't understand.

"Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Huo Zhen's face was pale and terrifying, he glanced at this European-style face that was completely different from Lin Qing'an, and turned back to the car in silence. It was as if it was just a momentary gaffe on his part.

Only he knew in his heart what kind of storm had set off in his heart the moment he saw that back just now.

They were all human spirits, and no one said anything. Everything just now seemed to be just a small episode, and it quickly returned to calm.

With Huo Zhen personally negotiating with Xirui Group, the progress of the project was much smoother than expected, and the haze on Huo Zhen's face dissipated slightly.

In the afternoon, the first day of negotiations officially ended. At the end of the session, Juliet looked at Huo Zhen with a slight smile and said, "Mr. Huo, there is an auction held by Sotheby's in Milan tonight, I wonder if Mr. Huo is interested in going to watch it?" ”

Huo Zhen's brows furrowed slightly, he had never been very interested in the auction. It's nothing more than an auction of some antique jewelry and the like. He didn't want to spend this unjust money.

Huo Zhen just wanted to refuse, but Juliet said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that Lord Ashley will also be there...... Beatrice Manor used to be his mother's fiefdom, and I wonder if it will help you take this land. ”

Huo Zhen's eyebrows stretched, and he quietly glanced at the flawless formulaic smile on Juliet's face, and also smiled faintly: "At that time, I will be there." ”

The night soon came. What Huo Zhen didn't know was that at the same time as he was heading towards the auction, on the other side of the city, the woman he had been thinking about was also panting in the direction of the auction......

Lin Qing'an greeted Francis beforehand, slipped in directly through the back door of the auction venue, and was ushered into a VIP single box on the top floor of the rotunda, which was the added value of the ruby ring she was going to auction.

After all, Francis was valued at 900,000 euros, and the final value could well be much higher.

For auction houses that want to take a certain percentage, Lin Qingan deserves this treatment.

Lin Qing'an, dressed in a simple white cotton and linen loose maternity dress, sat on the soft sofa in the box, boredly looking down at the auction venue like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. From time to time, there are richly dressed men and women sitting down under the guidance of the waiter, wearing different masks - Lin Qingan picked up the feather mask at hand, in fact, she was in the single VIP box, and there was no need to wear a mask. But Lin Qing'an saw that this feather mask was really delicate and cute, so she simply put it on her face to cover half of her face.

Lin Qing'an came early, she looked at the time on her phone, there was still half an hour before eight o'clock. Fortunately, there are a lot of tea and snacks in the box, which fully takes care of her taste as a pregnant woman, so it is regarded as drinking tea and eating snacks, and the time will pass soon.

Seeing that the seats downstairs were gradually filled, Lin Qing'an was satisfied with a piece of soufflé in one hand, and suddenly the door of the box behind him was gently knocked twice: "Madam, the dim sum tower that Mr. Francesey gave you." ”

What, snack towers, and so much more......

Lin Qingan was a little moved, this is too intimate, is it because she has a big belly, afraid that she will not have enough to eat?

Without thinking much about it, Lin Qingan stood up with difficulty on the sofa and opened the door with her stomach in her arms.

What caught her eye was a tray of margarita biscuits. Lin Qing'an didn't have time to be disappointed, and something cold suddenly appeared on her stomach. A muffled voice reminisced coldly in her ear, "Ma'am, please come in, and then close the door." ”

Lin Qingan's brain was dizzy.

Gun!

The waiter held a gun in his other hand and held it against her towering belly.

Lin Qing'an's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, she forcibly suppressed the trembling all over, and slowly retreated into the box, until the tall man at the door also entered the box, and quickly turned around and locked the door, Lin Qing'an didn't have time to see the man's face clearly......

To her disappointment, the blonde man's face, which also wore an ornate feather mask, and only a pair of dark green eyes, stared at her through the ornate owl feathers......

The gun in the man's hand was still against Lin Qing'an's stomach, he seemed to be extremely satisfied with Lin Qing'an's silence, put the cake on the table, and spoke lightly, but his tone was full of threats: "I'm sorry, I need to stay here for the time being until the auction is over...... Ma'am, you'd better be alone. ”

He said in Italian, Lin Qing'an's throat was dry, and he reluctantly replied to him: "Yes, I am alone...... Could you please put your gun away? I'm pregnant and don't have the strength to do it, I promise I won't scream......"

The corners of the man's lips under the mask hooked an arc, slowly withdrew the gun in his hand, and leisurely pressed Lin Qingan's shoulder, forcing her to sit side by side on the sofa.

Lin Qing'an's heart was beating extremely fast, but her brain was extremely clear.

The man had a gun in his hand. No matter what his purpose was, for the sake of the two children in his belly, Lin Qingan absolutely could not provoke him, and could only obey temporarily.

This is the venue for the auction, and it is unknown how many security measures are in place to protect the rare treasures that will be auctioned here...... Is this man trying to rob? But there is no need to use her box to cover yourself for robbery.

Lin Qingan was a little puzzled for a while. But the only thing that is clear now is ...... She became a hapless hostage. The other party is tall and big, and he has a murder weapon...... Her whole body was trembling slightly, and the child in her belly seemed to know that her mother was in danger now, and her reaction was a little fierce and kicked Lin Qing'an's stomach. Lin Qing'an's stomach bulged suddenly, she quickly reached out to cover her belly, her face was extremely pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. for fear of angering the man with the gun, and then the three of them, mother and son, were killed three times......

The man turned his head sideways, looked at Lin Qing'an's belly, and asked her, "How many months?" ”

Lin Qing'an endured the discomfort and replied in a trembling voice: "Nine months." ”

The man sighed lowly, as if he was a little upset for her: "Nine months, your husband is still relieved that you came to the auction alone?" ”

Lin Qingan reacted immediately, the man was afraid that "her husband" would knock on the door and enter the box, so he quickly replied: "I don't have a husband, I really only came here by myself today." ”

"No husband." The man scoffed, mocking, "It's best not to have any accidents, ma'am." I don't want to see blood for a while. ”

The man has always been polite in his speech, and he looks extraordinary when he sits on the sofa. If it weren't for his identity as a "robber", Lin Qing'an, a nobleman of any principality, would have believed him. Can ...... now

Lin Qingan completely lost interest in watching the auction. She was afraid that someone would knock on the door and provoke the robber......

But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and the door of the box was suddenly knocked softly again.

Lin Qing'an's goosebumps stood up all over his body, and the man stood up suddenly, his hand pressed the pistol on his waist, and his eyes looked at Lin Qing'an coldly.

Lin Qingan wanted to cry without tears, and desperately whispered to explain: "It's not the person I called......"

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Miss An, I missed the auction list for you just now." ”

It's Francis' voice......

The man pressed the hand of the gun and did not move, and motioned for Lin Qingan to open the door. Lin Qingan gritted her teeth and stood up, opened the door a small crack, and whispered, "Give it to me." ”

Francisey handed over an exquisite directory with both hands, and Lin Qing'an hurriedly took the directory from the crack in the door: "Thank you, Mr. Francis, you go and get busy, I'll go by myself later." ”

Francis didn't notice the dark tide in the box at all, and bowed slightly to Lin Qing'an in a gentlemanly manner: "Then, I wish you a pleasant evening." ”

Lin Qing'an closed the door of the box, feeling as if she had walked on the edge of a cliff, and was about to jump into the arms of death...... Her back was already wet with cold sweat, but the Grim Reaper in the box had no intention of leaving.

The man put down the gun in his hand and sat down with Lin Qing'an again.

Lin Qing'an looked down at the spotlight in the center of the venue with a pale face. After a round of applause, the auction officially began.

The man looked at the auction list in his hand and said lazily: "Miss An, what kind of treasure are you here for tonight?" ”

Sure enough, it was for the things of the auction......

Lin Qing'an grabbed the hem of her skirt, and her voice was stiff: "I'm just here to see the fun." ”

"Oh?"

The man turned his head slightly, leaned over in the direction of Lin Qing'an, and spoke in an extremely ambiguous distance and tone: "The top box is all Sotheby's VIP customers and dignitaries. To put it mildly, there is no knighthood, and there is no qualification to go to the top box at all. Miss An, what kind of existence are you? ”

Lin Qingan was about to cry, she bit her lip, and said without tears: "This gentleman, we have no grievances and no hatred." I'm really just a civilian. I don't know what you're trying to do. I still have a baby in my belly...... I can swear I won't do you any harm......"

The man winked innocently: "Oh, do you think I was planning to rob?" ”

Needless to say?

Lin Qingan looked at the man with an incredulous eye, and he was full of the words "ill intentions" written all over his body, otherwise why would he kidnap her with a gun to cover himself?

"Then you're wrong."

The man smiled slightly, put the pistol on the table next to him without paying attention, sat down on the sofa relaxedly, and with his long legs, he comfortably picked up the small biscuits on the plate and threw them into his mouth.
