”Fang Jin, forget it, I don't want it anymore.” Seeing that the price had suddenly skyrocketed to five million, Shen Meng couldn't help but pull on Fang Jin's arm as she whispered to her.

Fang Jin smiled and patted Shen Meng's hands, telling her to calm down before shouting, ”8 million!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Li Mingqi was immediately shocked. He had originally thought that if he were to bid five million, Fang Jin would withdraw. However, he didn't expect that the brat in front of him would directly bid eight million without any hesitation! It was more than three million more than his previous bid!

8 million was already not a small amount. Some companies might not even have as much as 8 million in working capital. As the Young Master of Myriad Miles Group, Li Mingqi was naturally able to pay eight million.

However, if he did that, it was likely that his father, Li Wanli, would be quite dissatisfied with him. For a time, Li Mingqi couldn't help but hesitate. He turned his head to look at the guests at the table far away. One of them was his father, Li Wanli.

At this moment, his father's face was extremely serious, even a bit discontented. Li Mingqi naturally saw this scene.

He was silent for a moment, but he gave up on the idea of continuing to wrangle with Fang Jin over the grudges.

”10 million!” Just when all the guests thought that this item was about to land in Fang Jin's hands, an aged voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. Not far away, a man in his fifties smiled. It was clear that the 10 million bid had come from him.

”It's Zhao Ruhai!” Seaside's Zhao Ruhai! ” When they saw this man, some of the guests who knew this person started to talk to each other in low voices.

The Seaside Company that Zhao Ruhai belonged to was a gang organization. This was not some secret, so all the guests present knew about it.

”Fang Jin, stop it.” With that money, you might as well buy something else. ” Shen Meng pulled Fang Jin's hand and whispered to her.

Fang Jin fell silent for a moment before finally nodding his head. His card only had ten million, nothing more. Now that Zhao Ruhai had offered the Heart of the Seas as the price of ten million, even if he wanted it, he would need at least ten million.

Fang Jin didn't want to ask Hong Fei for more money, so she had no choice but to give up.

Seeing Fang Jin give up bidding, the auctioneer on the stage immediately picked up the microphone and shouted loudly, ”Anyone else who doesn't bid, if not, this Heart of the Seas necklace belongs to Mister Zhao Ruhai!”

A woman in red dress beside Zhao Ruhai could not help but light up her eyes when she heard this. It had to be said that although this necklace from the Heart of the Seas wasn't very valuable, it was quite pretty.

However, what no one expected was that at this moment, Zhao Ruhai loudly said, ”Please give this necklace to the man who bid just now.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. No one knew why Zhao Ruhai would do such a thing. Fang Jin was also stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Zhao Ruhai who was not far away.

At this moment, Zhao Ruhai naturally felt Fang Jin's gaze on him. He lightly smiled, cupped his fist towards Fang Jin, and said in a clear voice, ”I accidentally offended little brother earlier, I'm really sorry. Today, I apologize to little brother here.

The moment these words left his mouth, the guests couldn't help but turn their gazes onto Fang Jin. Their eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.

They all knew about Zhao Ruhai's background. To put it bluntly, Zhao Ruhai called him the head of the underworld in Jiangling City. This was not a problem at all. But even so, Zhao Ruhai had taken the initiative to apologize to a young man in front of everyone today. What did this mean? This showed that Zhao Ruhai could not afford to offend this young man.

For a time, everyone could not help but start guessing what exactly was Fang Jin's background.

Fang Jin was also slightly surprised, but he quickly understood why Zhao Ruhai would do that. Clearly, Zhao Ruhai had also received the news.

Since Zhao Ruhai was able to become the head of the underworld in Jiangling City, then he must also have a certain degree of penetration into the police station. He probably knew about what happened in the police station during the day.

Although he didn't know that he had now become a member of the National Security Bureau, Zhao Ruhai definitely wouldn't be able to openly walk out of the police station and leave under the protection of the soldiers.

It would have been fine if Zhao Ruhai hadn't made a move earlier. However, after entering the prison, Zhao Ruhai had dispatched three men to assassinate Fang Jin. In the end, those three men had been cleanly killed by Fang Jin.

Realizing this point, a smile appeared on Fang Jin's face. He also stood up from his chair. At this moment, he cupped his fist towards Zhao Ruhai and said, ”Boss Zhao is too courteous. After today's banquet, I still wish to have a good chat with Boss Zhao. ”

As Fang Jin spoke, he accepted Zhao Ruhai's apology as well as that necklace made from the Heart of the Seas.
