Just when Ye Xiaochen and Xiaoya were worried, the large-scale auction at the Capital International Trade Center was in full swing.

"Next, the third lot, the Qing Qianlong Imperial Enamel Apricot Forest Chunyan Picture Bowl." The host Luo Ying said that soon a staff member moved a display cabinet, which contained a very exquisite and unique colored porcelain bowl, "which is painted with apricot blossoms in full bloom, green willows blown in the spring breeze, and two swallows flying with wings." On the side, it is also engraved with 'jade scissors wear flowers, and the neon clothes bring the moon back', which is inscribed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty himself, and has a history of more than 500 years. ”

"The reserve price is 150 million, and each price increase shall not be less than 10 million, and now the auction begins!"

"Damn, the Capital International Trade Center really has a way, and antiques of this level dare to be auctioned." Ye Xiaochen complained.

Xiaoya turned her head to look at him: "Is this thing famous?" ”

Ye Xiaochen replied: "Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, it is estimated that not many people know about it. But in the eyes of these celebrities and people in the antiques world, it is a treasure like no other. There are not many things inscribed by Emperor Qianlong, and they can be sold at a high price more than 200 years ago. And there are only two in the world, which are extremely collectible. Can you tell me for yourself that it is not worth anything? ”

Xiao Ya shook her head: "I don't understand the pursuit of mortals, nor do I understand the value of this so-called antique. ”

"It's famous, anyway." Ye Xiaochen replied, and then stopped talking. However, he still can't understand that this thing can be regarded as a national treasure in a sense. There are also many foreigners who come to the auction today, aren't they afraid that this thing will fall into the hands of this group of gringos?

"1.5 billion!" One of the men with long blond hair spoke up.

Ye Xiaochen's eyes were locked on this man, and before that, he had already obtained all the information of all the people who participated in the auction. This man was the son of a German nobleman named Lohrer Karst, and his family was also a very famous family in Germany, and his prestige and wealth were beyond the reach of many. Loeller, on the other hand, is the most competitive heir among the children of several families, and many believe that he will take over the baton from his father and succeed as the next head of the family.

"1.51 billion!" A middle-aged man in his forties, sitting in a corner, shouted.

"Isn't Mr. Hu going to give up this lot?" Lower asked in fluent Chinese.

The one who just shouted the price was the current deputy mayor of the capital, Hu Tianzhu.

"That's nature." Hu Tianzhu's face was confident, "The rules of the auction are the one with the highest price, I hope Mr. Lower understands." If Monsieur Lorler wants this lot, he will pay a higher price than I do. ”

Hearing this, Lohler smiled: "Okay, then I will accompany you to the end, no matter what, this lot must belong to our Custer family." ”

"1.6 billion!"

"Good guy, a one-time price increase of 90 million is really a big deal!"

"He really deserves to be the future heir of the Custer family, and he is really generous!"

The crowd began to discuss.

"1,610 million!" Hu Tianzhu shouted again.

"1.7 billion!" Loeller spoke leisurely.

A man in a white suit next to Hu Tianzhu said, "Deputy Mayor, isn't it inappropriate to spend money like this?" ”

"No, even the highest price has to be paid." Hu Tianzhu shook his head, "This lot is a representative of antiques handed down from the Qianlong era, and in a sense, it is a national treasure of our country, no matter what, we can't let our country's national treasure fall into the hands of foreigners, we must let it stay in China." The price is what I shouted, and I have to bear everything. ”

"1,710 million!"

"1.8 billion!"

"1,910 million!"

Just as Loeller wanted to shout two billion leisurely, the blonde beauty in a black professional skirt next to him whispered to him. The originally confident Lower's face suddenly stiffened, and then seemed to show a trace of chagrin and dissatisfaction, so he tidied up his suit, smiled in the direction of Hu Tianzhu: "I'm really sorry, since Mr. Hu wants this lot so much, then I will generously give up this time, just as my Custer family gives you face." ”

Hu Tianzhu replied expressionlessly: "Since this is the case, then I might as well obey my fate with respect." ”

"1,910,000,000,000 once!"

"Nineteen million twice!"

"Nineteen million three times!" The host Luo Ying made the final decision, "Deal!" Congratulations to Vice Mayor Hu Tianzhu for successfully auctioning the third lot! ”

"This person is kind of interesting." The corners of Ye Xiaochen's mouth curled up a little, "With such courage, he really deserves to be the descendant of the founding fathers of the Republic." ”

In fact, Ye Xiaochen had investigated Hu Tianzhu's information before, and Hu Tianzhu himself was in politics, but the Hu family had been in business for a period of time, and in the twenties and thirties of the last century, the Hu family was also a famous business family, and its assets had exceeded tens of billions at that time. It is not surprising that Hu Tianzhu can come up with so much money now.

Before he knew it, the auction of the three lots took more than 20 minutes, and Ye Xiaochen glanced at the satellite monitoring chart, only to see that the large red dots had already passed the location of the Bering Strait and began to move towards the Dongying Sea area in the southwest.

"Those things have reached the Pacific Ocean, and it is estimated that it will take another thirty minutes to reach the East Ying Sea." Ye Xiaochen's expression became more and more solemn.

"It's only the third lot, and you're in a hurry." Xiaoya said, "And haven't they come yet?" There is still time, and instead of rushing here, it is better to calm down and think about the solution. ”

Ye Xiaochen propped his head and said, "I want to too, but is there really a way?" If it was in normal times, it would have been enough, but now in such a little time, there are still seven lots, and it will take 70 minutes to say the least. If this continues, even if they can successfully photograph the lot, there will not be enough time to transport it away. ”

Xiaoya asked, "What the hell is going on!" ”

"See for yourself, those guys are moving faster and faster. At this rate, they will soon cross the Dongying Sea and come to the coast of China. Ye Xiaochen said, "At the current speed of the auction, the auction will not end so quickly at all." Moreover, the lot will not be successfully delivered to Feng Luoyi until the end of the auction. When that time comes, do you think we'll have enough time to get the Eye of the Deep away? ”

Xiaoya was silent, what Ye Xiaochen said was indeed not wrong. Those things are indeed moving faster and faster, and at this rate, they should be here in no time. Even if the auction was to end, they wouldn't have enough time to get the things away. Large sea creatures can move much faster than ships, and unless they run into some obstacles, there's no way to stall for time.

If you can't delay time, there is only one way left.

"Why don't we just go and snatch the Eye of the Deep Sea?" Xiaoya asked tentatively.

Ye Xiaochen immediately shook his head and said, "No, our task is to obtain the Deep Sea Eye through auction, and then send it to the original sea area." Auctions are a legitimate means, and if they are replaced by other means similar to theft, then the situation will be exacerbated. Do you know how many masters the state has prepared for this auction! If that's the case, we're really desperate. I don't want to be an enemy of my country, and besides, it's not in line with my principles. ”

Ye Xiaochen is indeed a killer, but he has never been a robber. It was okay for him to kill, but it was absolutely impossible to rob or steal.

"Then tell me, do you have any other way?" Xiaoya asked, "For you, is your principles important, or is the country's security important!?" ”

At this time, a news suddenly came on the Internet.

Ye Xiaochen didn't answer Xiaoya's question, but directly opened the message.

The news showed that in the Bering Sea, a fishing boat was fishing when a huge tentacle suddenly stretched out on the sea surface and smashed the fishing boat. Residents on a nearby island happened to be filming the scene, so it immediately went online. At present, nearby countries have issued emergency notices to evacuate fishing boats and coastal people to evacuate. And there is a photo below, Ye Xiaochen saw that the photo depicted an incomparably thick octopus tentacle emerging from the sea, which was about seventy meters long in terms of length, and the suction cup on the tentacle was ridiculously large.

"!" Ye Xiaochen couldn't help but swear a swear word, "I didn't expect that I had already started attacking the fishing boat!" ”

"It looks like the situation has gotten serious, and now that this situation is going to continue, do you want to stay here?"

Ye Xiaochen quickly changed into his battle suit, picked up two murderous knives, slowly put on his mask, and said, "Since that's the case, then I can't care so much." In any case, this catastrophe must be stopped, even if it is a matter of increasing the sin in the end.
