C63 (1/2)

Accompanying the host's words, the lights on the high platform instantly moved. A woman wearing a qipao slowly walked to the top of the high platform. The gazes of all the guests present landed on this woman. To be more precise, they had landed on the box that she was holding with both hands.

”The first item.” The host's words echoed in the hall.

”The first auction item is a fairly ancient piece of jewelry. It's said that it was once used by a noble concubine in the late Qing Dynasty. It's priceless!” After the host said this, he walked over to the side of the woman in the qipao and opened the box.

At the moment when the box was opened, the items within the box appeared before the eyes of all the guests.

This was a phoenix hairpin; its appearance was extremely beautiful. Not to mention its historical value, just its craftsmanship alone could be said to be priceless.

Thus, when the appearance of the phoenix hairpin was clearly seen, the eyes of many female guests couldn't help but light up. Their gazes were tightly fixed onto the phoenix hairpin.

Li Mingqi laughed, and said to Xiao Ye and Shen Meng: ”You two great beauties, have you seen it? That phoenix hairpin was something my father had always treasured! Do you like it? If you like me, I'll take it for you! ”

Hearing this, Shen Meng and Xiao Ye couldn't help but pout their lips, not saying a single word. True. They were very fond of this hairpin, but that didn't mean they were willing to accept Li Mingqi's gift.

If this phoenix hairpin really did need Li Mingqi to give it to them, they would really want it. It was possible that he could just throw it into the toilet and flush it out after getting his hands on it.

Seeing this scene, Fang Jin couldn't help but smile. He moved closer to Shen Meng and softly asked, ”Xiao Meng, that phoenix hairpin, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you, okay? ”

”No need, no need.” Hearing Fang Jin's words, Shen Meng's heart skipped a beat and she quickly waved her hand.

She knew Fang Jin's identity. In Shen Meng's opinion, a phoenix hairpin like that would probably be worth at least several hundred thousand yuan. Fang Jin was only a student, so how could he have several hundred thousand dollars? Shen Meng was a sensible girl, she didn't want to make Fang Jin bear too much of a burden just for her own selfish desire.

How could the thoughts in Shen Meng's heart be hidden from Fang Jin? A smile appeared in Fang Jin's eyes. However, he did not say anything. At this moment, he stood up and said to Shen Meng, ”Xiao Meng, I'm going to the washroom.”

Shen Meng had no doubts about him. She nodded her head and sent Fang Jin off with her eyes.

As for Fang Jin, she quickly walked to the bathroom, took a deep breath, picked up her phone and dialed Hong Fei's number.

Hong Fei's lazy voice came out from Fang Jin's phone, ”Hello, are you that guy over there? Who are you looking for? ”

Fang Jin felt helpless in her heart. Hearing this lazy voice, Fang Jin understood that this was probably the second personality, Hong Fei. However, he didn't hesitate and directly said, ”I need money, the more the better.”

”You're truly a strange person. Let me tell you, even I …” Before Hong Fei could finish his words, he was unable to continue. There was no sound from the handset for a while, and Fang Jin didn't mind. She held her phone and waited quietly.

A moment later, a candid voice came out from the other end of the phone, ”Fang Jin? ”I am Hong Fei. Say it, how much do you need?” Accompanying my girlfriend to a party at her company tonight, there just so happens to be an auction, so I need some money. ” Fang Jin spoke without hiding anything. From Fang Jin's point of view, since he was now a patrol, it was normal for him to enjoy some of the resources that he should have.

Hearing those words, Hong Fei immediately felt somewhat speechless. He opened his mouth and said, ”I say, aren't you a bit too much of a brat? You want money, just to make a fool of yourself? I really admire you. Although the patrollers could enjoy the resources of the country, who would care if the country asked for money! What they want is something that even money can't get, okay? ” |

Fang Jin ignored Hong Fei's complaints. At this moment, she opened her mouth and said, ”Can you do something with a single sentence?”

”Sure, why not? You're a patrol now, after all.” Hong Fei said somewhat helplessly, ”Send your card number over. I'll immediately transfer the money to you.”

”Alright.” Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Fang Jin's face. Without saying anything further, he sent his card number over. And then, he quietly waited.

About three minutes later, the bell for a short letter rang in the washroom. Fang Jin took out her phone and saw that her bank card had an extra RMB 10 million.

”It's still the right thing to do. It's really reliable.” Fang Jin muttered in a low voice. At this moment, she walked out of the bathroom without any hesitation.

The auction item had already reached the fourth item. Fang Jin was in the washroom for the previous items, so she didn't see any of them.

Li Mingqi glanced at Fang Jin who had just sat down, and said with some disdain, ”I thought you wouldn't come.”

Although his voice was soft, how could he hide it from Fang Jin? Fang Jin shot a glance at Li Mingqi, but did not say anything.
