Chapter 99: Emotional Entanglement
The host cleared his throat and continued: "Black Death Concentrate Ore, some people may be familiar with it, some people may not be familiar with it, whether they are familiar with it or not, I want to briefly introduce: Black Death Concentrate Ore, produced in the southern part of the Eastern Continent, is rumored to have been mined more than a hundred years ago, and the black Death Concentrate Ore auctioned today is the seller's ancestral, which is said to have a history of more than 300 years.
Black Death Concentrate Ore, used to forge the Black Death Knife, the Black Death Knife is extremely sharp, it can not only split the opponent with the armor in half, but also cut off the handkerchief or even silk in the air, in addition, it contains a special substance, the opponent is cut by the Black Death Knife, the wound can not heal and deteriorates rapidly, so even a small wound will make the opponent lose his life.
That's all for the introduction of black dead concentrate ore, with a starting price of 50 million Zheyuan, and each increase of not less than 1 million Zheyuan, and the auction begins. β
Ruan Jingtian knew that the role of the black death essence ore was not only to forge the black death knife, he learned from the jade slip that some formations that increased the temperature of the flame could replace a small amount of spirit stone with the purified black death essence, and the temperature of the flame could be increased to three times, that is, a flame of three thousand degrees, and with this formation, its temperature could reach up to nine thousand degrees. If such a terrifying high temperature and Qiankun Ding were used to refine the elixir, what would be the effect of the elixir?
Ruan Jingtian decided to buy this piece of black concentrate ore, and he estimated that the price should be around 300 million Zheyuan. At this time, the bidding has reached 150 million Zheyuan, Ruan Jingtian will not make a move at this time, he will wait until 200 million Zheyuan before making a move.
"Two hundred million, for the first time. The host shouted excitedly.
"Two hundred million, the second time. Don't miss out on this opportunity. The host shouted.
Ruan Jingtian raised the sign in his hand and said, "Two hundred and fifty million." β
The host shouted even more excitedly: "Buyer No. 6 bid 250 million Zheyuan, the treasure is here, and there will be no store in this village." β
Wang Zhifei wondered why Ruan Jingtian took a fancy to this black and unsoothing ore. Although the host praised it as a god, the method of forging the black corpse concentrate ore into a black corpse knife is an untold secret of the Sibo country in the western part of the Eastern Continent, and it seems that he has never heard of the rumors that the forger of the Sibo country forged the black corpse knife for foreigners. Therefore, almost all of the people who bid for the auction just now are businessmen from Si Boguo.
Although he had doubts, Wang Zhifei was still very excited when he saw Ruan Jingtian make a move, although the price was a little high, it did not prevent him from stepping on Ruan Jingtian.
"Two hundred and sixty million. Wang Zhifei held up the sign and shouted.
The host immediately shouted: "The 24th buyer bid 260 million Zheyuan!"
Ruan Jingtian originally expected that the original bidder would compete with him for this treasure, but he didn't expect Wang Zhifei to intervene, he turned his head to look at Wang Zhifei, and saw that Wang Zhifei was looking at him triumphantly, his eyes were full of contempt and provocation. Ruan Jingtian immediately understood that Wang Zhifei was coming for him. His heart was cold. Secretly said: "This fool Second Ancestor, he actually dares to provoke me!"
"Three hundred million. Ruan Jingtian held up the sign again.
"Buyer No. 6 bid 300 million Zheyuan. The host's voice was a little hoarse, and this was the highest bid so far.
"Three hundred and ten million. Wang Zhifei raised the sign and said lazily.
"Four hundred million. Ruan Jingtian then raised the sign and said lazily.
Ning Jingwen has always been in a good mood, seeing Ruan Jingtian buying a black stone at a high price, she was thinking that if Ruan Jingtian didn't bring enough money, she would make up for her private money. But suddenly a flea popped up to disrupt the situation, and she was upset. Turning his head, he saw Wang Zhifei's provocative eyes, and he was furious in his heart, and glared at Wang Zhifei fiercely.
Wang Zhifei shivered in fright when he saw Ning Ningwen's eyes like ice blades. He didn't expect Ruan Jingtian to be able to get a price of 400 million Zheyuan. If he adds more, it's not impossible, but he no longer has liquidity in his hands. He hesitated for a moment, and then heard the host shouting: "Four hundred million Zheyuan." Second. β
He glanced at Ruan Jingtian's stiff back, and with anger in his heart, he raised the sign. Shouted: "Four hundred and ten million!"
Tranquility was so angry that she wanted to snatch Ruan Jingtian's brand, and wanted to ask for 500 million for Ruan Jingtian. Ruan Jingtian gently held her hand and shook his head at her. Ning Jingwen saw that Ruan Jingtian looked confident, and his heart settled down.
Wang Zhifei was waiting for Ruan Jingtian to bid 500 million, so he stopped making a move and asked Ruan Jingtian to pay twice as much money to buy. But when the host shouted for the second time, Wang Zhifei saw that Ruan Jingtian still didn't make the slightest move, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and he was secretly anxious: Dongshan guy, you are asking for a price!
But some things won't happen according to his will, and Ruan Jingtian obviously gave up the bid.
"410 million Zheyuan, the third time, the transaction, congratulations to the 24th buyer for becoming the new king of the treasure, we will wait and see if the subsequent bidding can exceed 410 million Zheyuan, and whether the 24th buyer can keep the crown of the king of the treasure. According to the market price, the black concentrate ore will be traded at about 200 million Zheyuan, but he didn't expect the transaction price to be 410 million Zheyuan.
The auction continued, and Ruan Jingtian was pleasantly surprised to find that there were two rare medicinal materials in the auction items behind: Heavenly Spirit Fruit and Five-Colored Lotus, these two medicinal materials can be taken alone, and they are also the two main materials for refining the Spirit Lotus Pill, and the Spirit Lotus Pill is a higher level than Pei Yuan Dan to enhance the true qi of the inner family.
Ruan Jingtian spent a total of 16 million zheyuan to auction off these two medicinal materials, and he happily paid the price and collected the two medicinal materials. Ning Jingwen was also happy for Ruan Jingtian, she turned her head and glanced at the position of the twenty-fourth, and found that Wang Zhifei was missing, she guessed that Wang Zhifei left the auction hall after auctioning the black essence ore.
The next auction item is a rare black opal, which is a gemstone opal with a color-changing effect, Ruan Jingtian saw Ning Jingwen's eyes light up, and he had an idea in his heart. After fierce bidding, Ruan Jingtian finally auctioned this 50-carat black opal at a price of 200 million Zheyuan.
After Ruan Jingtian got the black opal, he put it into Ning Jingwen's hand and said, "Gem gift, thank you for accompanying me to the auction." β
Ning Jingwen excused himself again and again, and said, "I can't accept such a valuable gift." β
Ruan Jingtian blocked her excuse and said, "I know a lot of news from your grandfather, and it's all your credit." A small stone, talk about your heart, I hope you don't call me stingy in the future. β
As Ruan Jingtian and Ning Ning Wen were about to leave the auction hall, the auction manager politely invited them to sit in the reception room for a while.
When the two of them sat down in the reception room. The manager of the auction took out a glittering card, handed it to Ruan Jingtian, and said: "The contemptible surname is Cui, the famous teacher is Dong, and it is a great honor to meet two distinguished guests. VIP Gold Cards will be issued to VIPs who have sold for more than 100 million Zheyuan, and you will be able to participate in a private auction tomorrow evening. β
Ruan Jingtian took the VIP card and asked, "What is the difference between the private auction and today's auction?"
"Today's auction is a public auction, and our auction house is entrusted to auction the consignment items, and the highest bidder wins, and the identity of the consignor is not revealed. There is no interference with the buyer's bidding, and private auctions are auctioned by the sender himself, and the sender may wish to trade in the auction. Our auction house only provides the venue, charges a small fee, and will not participate in the transaction between the buyer and the seller. Any VIP who attends a private auction may become a sender. If you have a great treasure but you need something else urgently, you can try your luck at a private auction and maybe get what you need in exchange. Cui Shidong explained in detail.
Ruan Jingtian understood that the private auction was a place for adjusting what was available and exchanging with each other. It's a nice form. A voluntary exchange, which increases the welfare of both parties to the transaction and improves the situation of the parties to the transaction, rather than increasing the interests of one party at the expense of the other. This is a typical Pareto optimality, where a voluntary exchange or transaction can achieve a Pareto optimality.
Nguyen Ching Tien has always believed that any obstacle to Pareto optimality is a stumbling block to social development that will be broken by natural or spontaneous forces. For example, the restriction of private auctions to those who have sold for more than $100 million can participate in private auctions hinders Pareto optimality. Such as. It may be that the transaction price of the two people did not reach 100 million Zheyuan, but both of them have items that the other party urgently needs and the two are willing to exchange, then these two people cannot participate in the private auction due to conditions. Therefore, the exchange between the two did not materialize, and neither of them was improved, so the condition of a transaction price of more than 100 million Zheyuan hindered Pareto optimality.
But this kind of private auction provides at least some people with the best opportunity to Pareto, which is a good thing, and Nguyen Jingtian happily accepted the invitation, promising to participate in the private auction tomorrow night.
Ning Jingwen watched Ruan Jingtian take the VIP card with a smile, and his heart was full of doubts. She knew that the Gong family was a small third-rate family and that they should not have much wealth, but looking at Ruan Jingtian's heroic energy of spending thousands of dollars, it seemed that his family background was very rich, could it be that his money was the result of corruption and bribery? It seems that he has not been in the post of captain of the gendarmerie of a prefecture-level city for a long time, so can it be that in these few dozen days, the captain of the gendarmerie will be able to collect hundreds of millions of Zheyuan?
Ning Jingwen hated corrupt officials very much, she suddenly felt that the black opal in her hand was stolen money and stolen goods, and she really wanted to throw the black opal on Ruan Jingtian's body. But in public, she was very literate and personable, and she decided to interrogate her on the way back. If it was really the proceeds of corruption and bribery, she must let Ruan Jingtian turn himself in.
Ruan Jingtian and Ning Jingwen walked out of the Shunyin Hotel and entered the Ling Zhi car. Nguyen started the car, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the crowded traffic.
"Gong Xiaomu, tell me honestly why you have so much money?" Ning Jingwen couldn't bear it anymore and began to make trouble.
Ruan Jingtian paused for a moment, thought for a while, understood what Ning Jingwen meant, and said, "Do you suspect that my money was obtained by corruption and bribery?"
"I know how much you earn. With your normal income, you simply can't afford to buy something at auction. Ning Jingwen said coldly.
When Ruan Jingtian heard these words, he shouted in his heart: "Miss Ning, are you the daughter of the number one leader in Liuyun Province? Is Ning Shoucheng really a poor and clean official? Even if Ning Shoucheng is really not greedy or greedy, as the biggest princess in the prince's party, don't you know the face of being an official in this world? Miss Ning, are you living in a vacuum? Your words are very inconsistent with your status as a second-generation official.
"Tranquility, I can solemnly tell you: I have absolutely no corruption or bribery. As for how my money came from, you can go home and ask your dad, and if your dad says my money should be confiscated, I will hand it over immediately. Also, you can ask your grandfather if I'm short of money. Ruan Jingtian said sternly.
"You know my dad?..." Tranquility Wen was like a kitten that had been stepped on, and almost jumped up.
"Last time the head of the Ning headquarters went to Dongshan City, I was a subordinate. Report my work to the head of the Ning headquarters. Reporter Ning, you hid it very deeply, and it wasn't until you met the head of the Ning headquarters that the head of the Ning headquarters said that you were his daughter. Ruan Jingtian quipped.
"Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"
"I report to the head of the Ning headquarters, do I have to report to you again?" Ruan Jingtian asked rhetorically.
"Gong Xiaomu, did you want me to find my father and give you a promotion when you bought me such a valuable black opal today?"
"Reporter Ning, I don't need to go through your back door if I want to be promoted, I can just go directly to the director of the Ning headquarters. I gave you the black opal purely to repay you for letting me meet your grandpa. β
"Hmph. You're looking for my father, don't you call me a banner?" Ning Jingwen sneered.
Ruan Jingtian was silent, and said secretly: "Looking for Ning Shoucheng by yourself, it may be really under the banner of Ning Jingwen." If he didn't know Ning Jingwen, Ning Shoucheng would know how old he was?"
In what capacity to see Ning Shoucheng?
If he went to meet the top leader of Liuyun Province as a prefecture-level city and department-level official, the department-level official was as small as the sand in the sea in Ning Shoucheng's eyes, and he was not qualified at all, and the gap in his rank was at least three or more, I was afraid that the guards at the outermost gate of the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters would stop him from the door.
If you go to see Ning Shoucheng as a friend of Ning Jingwen. That's even more, will Ning Shoucheng take care of a little kid who hasn't grown his hair?
The only reasonable identity that can meet Ning Shoucheng is the identity of Ning Jingwen's boyfriend, and he must also be at least the kind of boyfriend who is engaged. Ning Shoucheng promoted his son-in-law, which is a natural and reasonable thing. No one will think much about it.
Ruan Jingtian thought of this, a little frustrated, he really didn't want to deceive Ning Jingwen emotionally. At present, he is wearing the mask of Miyaya Takashi on his face, and he has not shown his true face for a long time. Sometimes he himself feels that he is Gong Xiaomu, not Ruan Jingtian. But the strong desire for revenge made him sober again, and he was still Ruan Jingtian of the Assassin Country. And not Tetsukoku's Miyataka. He never felt guilty for killing the devils of Zheguo; he never felt guilty for conspiring and framing Zheguo officials; he went around the officialdom of Zheguo every day, speaking Zheguo, but he never thought of truly integrating into the life of Zheguo people.
But if he falls in love with the Zheguo girl Ning Jingwen, gets married and has children, then he must integrate into the life of the Zheguo people. Although he may be careful not to reveal his true identity, he deceived and concealed his wife and children, which Ruan Jingtian did not want. Besides, Ruan Jingtian doesn't want to talk about marriage at present, and he doesn't want to have an intersection with the Zheguo girl in this regard, after all, he has a common enmity with the Zheguo people.
He suddenly thought of Ning Jingwen's grandfather pleading himself to fight for the deputy director of the water agency, could it be that with a few bottles of pills, these shrewd old guys could be busy with their future affairs?
Ruan Jingtian fell into deep thought, he felt that Ning Xianghai's move might have other plans, so what was the real purpose of this old man? Could it be...?
Ruan Jingtian pondered for a long time and said heavily: "Reporter Ning, thank you for the reminder. I thought things were too simple. You're right, when General Director Ning saw me, it was indeed for your sake. I'll think about a few things carefully. Still, I want you to take the black opal. I have given you this thing with no other intentions, purely as a token of gratitude. Maybe we won't see each other again in the future. β
Ning Jingwen suddenly threw the jade box containing the black opal on Ruan Jingtian, crying and said, "Gong Xiaomu, you bastard. What Hu Jiehua said at the Dongyue Hotel has been heard by many people. The people in the newspaper and the family think that I am good with you, and I know that you have always disliked me and do not want to be nice to me, but I still have illusions. You just said we wouldn't meet again, and I know you don't like me at all. I'm not so cheap, I'll give you back everything you give. β
As Ning Jingwen spoke, he took off the tourmaline bracelet on his hand, took off the jade necklace around his neck, and threw it on Ruan Jingtian.
"The clothes and rings you gave me are at home, and I'll give them back to you later!" Tranquility Wen's love was definitely a volcanic eruption, and she shouted loudly.
Ruan Jingtian was stunned, he was driving the car, and he was in a hurry by the things that were thrown over one after another, so he had to stop on the side of the road. Seeing that the car stopped, Tranquility immediately opened the door, jumped out of the car, and ran wildly along the sidewalk.
Ruan Jingtian was shocked and shouted, "Tranquility Wen." Don't run, it's dangerous at night. He didn't have time to think about it, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, grabbed the door, and chased after Tranquility.
Ruan Jingtian's speed was many times faster than Ning Jingwen's, and it wasn't long before Ruan Jingtian grabbed Ning Jingwen's shoulder.
"Tranquility, you don't want to be like this. Ruan Jingtian persuaded.
Ning Jingwen turned around and was about to speak. But suddenly, her eyes widened in horror, and she slammed into Ruan Jingtian's back, only to hear a gunshot, and Ning Jingwen was shot in the chest.
Ruan Jingtian was horrified in his heart, hurriedly turned around, and held Ning Jingwen, only to see that thirty meters behind him, a tall man in the prime of life was holding a pistol and facing Ruan Jingtian.
Ruan Jingtian was furious in his heart. With a wave of his right hand, a lancet of the old Lin sect flew like lightning towards the man with the gun under the concentration of Xuan Qi. The man with the gun was about to continue shooting, but a cold light flashed. His right wrist was cold, his entire right hand was sliced off by a lancet, and the gun fell to the ground.
Ruan Jingtian ignored the man with the gun, and hurriedly sealed several important acupoints on Ningning's chest. Stopping the gushing blood, he took out the holy pill he had refined to heal external injuries and stuffed it into Ning Jingwen's mouth. Then he hugged Ning Jingwen and ran towards his Ling Zhi car.
The man with the gun was running wildly with his right hand, and Ruan Jingtian quickly caught up with this person, and with a heart-splitting palm, he hit this person in the back, and the man sprayed a mouthful of blood and fell forward.
Ruan Jingtian freed his left hand, grabbed the person, ran the Divine Soul Technique, asked a few quick questions, and then dropped the person, took out a pistol in his left hand, and shot continuously at a car parked behind his Ling Zhi's car. The front two tires of the car in the back were blown out, the windshield was shattered, the driver was also shot in the head, and two people came out of the back seat and shot at Nguyen Jingtian with guns.
How could Ruan Jingtian be hit by a light yì, the combination of Jiu Gong and stealth techniques, he strangely disappeared out of thin air, two gunshots rang out in the air in a row, and the two gunmen who attacked him were hit, and two pistols fell to the ground. Ruan Jingtian was unforgiving, and two more shots hit the thighs of the two, and the two fell to the ground together.
Ruan Jingtian ran to the two of them with Ning Ning Wen in his arms, and used the Divine Soul Technique on the two of them in turn, and after a while, he put away the Divine Soul Technique, punched a splitting palm on the back of each of them, and then returned to his Ling Zhi car and gently put Ning Ning Wen on the back seat. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he returned to the two who were humming on the ground, grabbed one of the slightly thinner, sealed the acupoint near the gunshot wound on his thigh, stopped the blood, took out a rope, tied him up, sealed his dumb hole, and threw him into the trunk. Finally he got into the cab, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards Liuyun Provincial Hospital, the largest hospital in the province.
Ning Jingwen was sealed by Ruan Jingtian, and he was in a coma. Ruan Jingtian heard Ning Jingwen's even breathing, and knew that the healing pill he had refined almost had the effect of reviving the dead, and his heart was somewhat relieved.
Ruan Jingtian blamed himself for his carelessness. On the way out of the Shunyin Hotel, because he was thinking about Ningningwen's affairs, he didn't notice the tail behind the car; when chasing Ningningwen, because all his thoughts were on Ningningwen's body, he didn't find that someone was following him behind, this series of sloppiness and imprudentness, the director Zhanzhì Ningwen's self-inflicted was shot. This made Ruan Jingtian feel very uncomfortable, he didn't want to owe others favors, especially life-saving favors.
Ruan Jingtian knew that his relationship with Ning Ning Wen might be difficult to separate again, and he saved Ning Ning Wen's life without feeling abnormal. But when Ning Jingwen sacrificed his life to save him, he finally realized the heaviness of bearing the great grace, perhaps it was Ruan Jingtian's kindness that gave Ning Ning Wen too much, so that Ning Ning Wen couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't get rid of Ruan Jingtian's figure.
Ruan Jingtian's mood at this time is very heavy, Ning Jingwen is a good girl, although she is a philosopher and the daughter of a high-ranking official, but she does not have the bad habits of the second generation of officials, nor is she ruthless and vicious in the officialdom, she is more like a crystal doll living in a fairy tale world, transparent and flawless.
Ruan Jingtian decided to wait for Ning Jingwen to heal and talk to her well.
When he came to Liuyun Provincial Hospital, Ruan Jingtian immediately sent Ning Jingwen to the operating room, and then called Liang Qianli. In Quanshui City, he only knew Liang Qianli's phone number.
When Liang Qianli heard that Ning Jingwen had been shot, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He severely reprimanded Ruan Jingtian and told him to stay in the hospital and not to go anywhere.
Hanging up Ruan Jingtian's phone, Liang Qianli dialed Ning Shoucheng's phone, humbly told the matter again, and nodded one after another and shouted several "yes" before hanging up the phone.
Immediately after that, he called the Liuyun Provincial Military Police Corps and ordered the gendarmes to immediately rush to the location of the accident mentioned by Nguyen Jingtian and arrest the murderer in the whole city.
Wang Zhifei paid off the auction price of 410 million zheyuan in distress, took the black concentrate ore, and left the auction hall angrily.
As soon as he walked out of the venue, he asked his bodyguard Yu Tinghu to contact the Black Dragon Society, the largest gangster in Quanshui City, to give a bonus of 10 million Zheyuan to kill the hateful "Gong Xiaomu", of course, he couldn't touch a single hair of the beautiful lady next to "Gong Xiaomu".
The leader of the Black Dragon Society, Shen Yigang, is obviously a Thorn Country, but he is actually an outer disciple of the Green Dragon Gate of Zheguo, and half of the members of the Black Dragon Society are Ronin of Zheguo. Wang Zhifei and Shen Yigang are sworn brothers, and they have a good relationship.
Wang Zhifei believed that Yu Tinghu and the Black Dragon Society would definitely be able to handle this matter, dealing with a dirt bun in Dongshan City, and using the masters of the Black Dragon Society to fight mosquitoes felt a little like anti-aircraft guns. But Wang Zhifei is a person who seeks stability, even if the other party is a small ant, he will use at least several times more strength than the other party to completely crush the other party.
After explaining the matter, Wang Zhifei stopped thinking about it, he just waited for the final victory. He led three bodyguards, holding a large box containing black concentrate ore, and boarded his Badao off-road vehicle. He opened the big box and saw a black stone lying in the box, and thought to himself: Maybe my father will like this black stone and give this thing to my father, so that he can compensate me with 400 million Zheyuan. Well, that's all I can do.
His father, Wang Hangzhen, was the executive vice governor of Liuyun Province and loved to collect obsidian. Obsidian is a black gemstone that has an extremely evil spirit-warding effect, and is placed in the home for fortune and evil spirits. This afternoon, the deputy mayor of Laishan City sent a small piece of obsidian, which was being placed in the off-road vehicle.
At this time, the driver started the car, slowly increased his speed, and suddenly rushed out of a car from the side, and crossed in front of the Badao off-road vehicle. The driver immediately stepped on the brakes, the car stopped suddenly, Wang Zhifei felt his body lean forward violently, and then bounced back violently, and the black concentrate in his hand grunted and rolled under the driver's seat.
Wang Zhifei was furious and was about to scold, when he suddenly saw three big men jumping out of the car blocking the off-road vehicle, all holding large-caliber pistols, shooting indiscriminately at the Badao off-road vehicle.
Wang Zhifei's three bodyguards hurriedly lay down, kicked the car door, rolled out of the car, took out their pistols, and fired back at the three attackers in front of him. (To be continued......)
