The starting bid for Su Xing was merely one million. Hei Mao thought, why not let her earn some money for the venue first? Why not take action?
Zhan Ying opened his narrow, phoenix-like eyes, instantly releasing an undeniable sharpness. Hei Mao explained, "It's worth more than that. If I truly have my eye on it, I can always make a move later."
Zhan Ying lazily raised an eyebrow. What kind of woman could make Hei Mao think this way? What was so special about her? He picked up the remote, paused the opera, and turned on the screen.
Su Xing's photo leaped onto the display. Zhan Ying's eyes widened in shock; how did she end up here? He immediately spoke, "Light the Purple Zun Lamp. Take her to my northern estate."
Hei Mao's brow twitched. "You haven't been interested in a woman for many years."
Once the Purple Zun Lamp lit up, who could compete? This entire venue belonged to the the Zun Family; even if others wanted to snatch something away, they couldn't take what they desired.
When Geng Rui saw the Purple Zun Lamp light up on the third floor, he furrowed his brows tightly. "Ruo Xi, we won't be able to bid on her today."
"Huh? Why?" Han Ruoxi was pressing the button eagerly. Although the price had soared to over a hundred million, she was quite wealthy. If she could buy Su Xing and torment her, she would find it worth every penny. However, she was unaware of the rules here and felt a bit uncomfortable.
"I'll pay for it myself. You might think a woman isn't worth that price, but I want her."
Geng Rui shook his head lightly. "It's not like that. This venue is Zhan Zun's territory; as long as the Purple Zun Lamp is lit, it means they've chosen this item and won't engage in any transactions."
In fact, just the amount Geng Rui offered to bring Su Xing was already higher than this price; why would he need to add another bid for Han Ruoxi?
"Will she be taken away as someone else's slave? That Zhan Zun slave?" Han Ruoxi was still extremely displeased. Could it be that even that big shot had taken a liking to Su Xing's looks? This woman really had an annoying face!
It wasn't certain; perhaps they were interested in her calm demeanor and intended to take her for training to bring her into their fold?
Geng Rui could only speculate; he had some knowledge of the Zhan Family's business. Once someone entered their ranks, Su Xing would undoubtedly face a grim fate. As for the dirty dealings, Geng Rui chose not to disclose them directly to Han Ruoxi. He only hinted that once she caught their eye, it would be nearly impossible for her to see the light of day again.
"That's good!" Han Ruoxi replied, feeling that this was a satisfactory outcome for her. Since she desired something unattainable, she was unwilling to linger any longer in this place.
"Ruo Xi, let's go. How about dinner at my estate?" Geng Rui suggested. The private room they were in had been deliberately shielded from the gruesome scenes below, so Han Ruoxi still had an appetite.
"Sure. I'm feeling a bit better today, and I should thank you for that. I'll join you for a meal," Han Ruoxi said, as if dining with Geng Rui was a significant favor she was granting him.
Little did she know that in the Western Country, women would line up around the Seine River just for a chance to have dinner with Geng Rui. Yet, in his eyes, he only saw this unappreciative woman.
Under Geng Rui's protection, Han Ruoxi quietly left the auction house. Meanwhile, Su Xing found herself inexplicably taken away by two people, one of whom was the Strong Woman from earlier.
The Strong Woman looked at Su Xing with disdain and said, "I can't believe he actually took an interest in you."
"What do you mean? Who's interested in me?" Su Xing asked, confused.
"No comment. Just keep your mouth shut," the Strong Woman replied curtly. "We're taking you where you need to go. Serving your master is what you must do."
So they thought someone like him would be interested in a nobody like her? What kind of master was this? Was she meant to be a slave?
Thanks to special instructions from the higher-ups, Su Xing endured no hardships during her journey. However, when she finally emerged onto the street from the vehicle, she felt a sudden surge of anxiety as another car brushed past hers.
At such close proximity, Shen Jingyu felt his heart tighten for an instant. He was on the verge of breaking down—was something wrong with A Xing?
"Shao Wen, can we confirm A Xing's whereabouts?" Shen Jingyu suddenly asked again, leaving his friend Shi Shaowen both amused and perplexed.
"Is it really that serious? You've never acted like this before. Even when Mu Zhiyuan was riding on your neck, you never thought of fighting back."
Shen Jingyu took a deep breath. "I'm not in the mood to joke around with you."
"Shao Wen, Su Xing is my life! I have to find her, and I need to do it quickly!"
Shi Shaowen raised an eyebrow at his aristocratic attire. "In that case, I won't tease you anymore. After I received the photos you sent, I immediately spread the word online."
"Coincidentally, a guy from Western Country, Xiao Jue, wanted to connect with me, the son of a count. He’s at the scene right now. I told him that no matter how much it costs, he must bring her here. You can rest assured about that."
Shen Jingyu nodded in response, but inside he felt a strong sense of loss rising within him. It was a sudden feeling that made his expression tense.
"Duan Yu, how much longer until we get down there?"
Shen Jingyu asked the dedicated driver of Shi Shaowen. They were already at the entrance of the underground parking lot, and his question revealed his impatience.
"This underground area is quite deep; it should take about five more minutes."
As soon as Duan Yu finished speaking, Shi Shaowen's expression changed after seeing a message on his phone. This time, it was serious.
"Not good! Jing Yu! Su Xing has been taken by someone from Purple Zun!"
"Purple Zun? This auction house belongs to Zhan Zun?!" Shen Jingyu panicked.
"This sheep has truly fallen into the tiger's den!"
Shi Shaowen's expression turned cold. "I just heard about Purple Zun and connected it to the Zhan Family."
"But is Zhan Ying making a move now? Otherwise, why would he bring Su Xing here? As a hostage?"
"Do you know where they took her? Turn around, Duan Yu!" Shen Jingyu said, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition rise within him.
It turned out something had gone wrong!
After confirming the route to Western Country on the plane, he had this worry. But fortunately, once they arrived here, his friend Shi Shaowen provided him with the most useful information. He immediately landed the plane at Shao Wen Manor and rushed to this auction house without stopping.
Yet he still couldn't make it in time!
At this moment, Shen Jingyu wished he could punch himself hard!
Seeing his good brother in distress, Shi Shaowen calmly analyzed, "Don't worry, Jing Yu. Since Zhan Ying wants to use Su Xing, it means she is not in any immediate danger!"
