Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

When it was Wang Jing's turn, he took the initiative to explain to the security guard that he was here to apply for a job, not to participate in the auction. The security guard led him to another passage, and Qin Tian found a seat to sit down. There were unfamiliar faces around him, and he didn't need to take the initiative to say hello. The others were different. They seemed to be very familiar with each other and discussed the prices of the exhibits to be auctioned. Although they had learned the information about the exhibits from the Internet, the specific prices were still a mystery.

Next to Qin Tian sat a noble lady wearing gold and silver. Seeing that Qin Tian had an extraordinary temperament, she took the initiative to approach him and asked about his identity and background. She guessed that Qin Tian must be a rich second-generation, otherwise how could a young man be qualified to participate in such a high-end auction? Qin Tian was unwilling to get too entangled with her, so he just smiled and declined her inquiry.

As time went by, the auction venue gradually became crowded with people. Qin Tian looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour before the official auction. Wang Jing, after a simple interview, successfully became a security guard. He was so excited that he immediately called his mother to tell her the good news. His mother was also very pleased to hear that her son had a formal job and encouraged him to work hard.

Wang Jing put on his security uniform and stood at the door, full of energy and vigor. He secretly made up his mind to become a rich man like Qin Tian, ​​who was young and promising. However, he thought that Qin Tian might have a wealthy family, and even if he worked hard all his life, he might not be able to catch up with him. But no matter what, he would not give up.

Soon, the seats at the auction venue were almost full. According to the rules, no one was allowed to enter the venue fifteen minutes in advance. At this time, a hostess came to the stage and announced the rules of the auction, hoping that everyone would abide by them. She asked if anyone present had any questions, but no one responded.

Just as the auction was about to begin, Qin Tian suddenly stood up and asked the etiquette lady a question: "Excuse me, when will the night pearls on display today be auctioned?" The etiquette lady smiled and replied that it was not convenient to disclose the auction order now, but it would be known when the official auction started.

Qin Tian was a little disappointed when he heard this. He wanted to concentrate on the night pearl auction and relax at other times. However, it seems that he can only stay alert throughout the whole process. The lady next to him asked curiously if he came here specifically for the night pearl, and Qin Tian nodded. The lady smiled and said that she also came for the night pearl and was not interested in other exhibits. Qin Tian then looked at her carefully and found that she was quite beautiful. However, he did not say much, but just responded politely.

The lady felt a little disappointed when she saw that Qin Tian didn't seem to be interested in her. She thought her beauty could attract Qin Tian's attention, but she didn't expect him to be so cold. She could only comfort herself by saying that maybe Qin Tian had regarded her as a competitor, so he was wary of her.

After a while, another etiquette lady announced the official start of the auction. Everyone got ready and looked forward to the debut of the first product.

The first exhibit to be unveiled was a guqin used by the ancient emperor of the Lin Kingdom, and the starting price was set at a huge 100,000 yuan.
However, Qin Tian had no interest in this at all and just lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

Just then, Gao Wenliang called.

He quickly picked up the phone, told the other party that he was in Lin Country, and asked what the important matter was.

"It's nothing serious, I just want to have a couple of drinks with you, let's talk about it when you come back."

Qin Tian thought, what fun is there in just drinking?

At this moment, the King's Palace was also busy.

Shui Wenrou received a call from her office staff, saying that the head of the Flower Kingdom was about to visit, ostensibly to celebrate her becoming the leader, and hoped that the two countries could maintain long-term friendly relations.

Shui Wenrou knew in her heart that the Lin Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom had always been at odds with each other, and this visit by the other party might have ulterior motives.

Chief Zheng Yude, who is in charge of foreign affairs, was urgently summoned to his office.

"Old Zheng, what do you think about this?" Shui Wenrou asked gently.

"Obviously they came to intimidate us. They also said they would bring some advanced technological equipment. On the surface it looked like a friendly exchange, but in fact they were just showing off," Zheng Yude said bluntly.

Shui Wenrou expressed the hope that all the staff in the office could work together to properly arrange the visit.

After all, I can't refuse, otherwise it would seem too ungenerous.

This was the first time she faced a visit from a senior foreign leader since she became the head of state, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Zheng Yude is experienced and has been working in the diplomatic field for nearly 30 years. He has become a great support for Shui Wenrou.

"Old Zheng, this time it all depends on you." Shui Wenrou said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will live up to your trust." Although Zheng Yude said this, his lips moved slightly, as if he had something else to say.

"Old Zheng, feel free to say whatever you want to say." Shui Wenrou encouraged.

"This time they also brought a royal relative, saying they wanted to marry a princess." Zheng Yude's words surprised Shui Wenrou.

She immediately realized that the person the other party wanted to marry was her.

"Lord, I believe you have guessed that their blind date is you." Zheng Yude said.

Shui Wenrou's face darkened. This was clearly a humiliation to her!
Although there was a tradition of marriage alliances in ancient times, it is now a new era. How can we still do this?
What's more, the other party is using the guise of enhancing the friendship between the two countries, which makes it hard to refuse.

"Your Majesty, being in this position, you have to bear a lot of pressure that ordinary people can hardly imagine." Zheng Yude comforted.

He mentioned that more than a hundred years ago, there was a young ruler who succeeded to the throne and had assistant ministers to help him.

And Shui Wenrou is now almost fighting alone.

Shui Wenrou nodded gently to show her understanding. She was also aware of the environment she was in.

She understood that the other party mentioned this matter simply to make her more dependent on him and regard him as a close confidant.

As long as he is loyal, I am willing to give him corresponding status and power.

"Who do they plan to arrange for a blind date with me?" Shui Wenrou asked.

"It is said that he is the son of a prince." Zheng Yude replied.

This made Shui Wenrou even more angry.

As the ruler of a country, how can the prince's son be worthy of me?

This is simply a huge insult to myself!
"Lord, don't be angry. Things are not yet irreversible. We still have room for maneuver." Zheng Yude persuaded.

Shui Wenrou nodded gently to signal him to leave, and she herself fell into deep thought.

Regardless of whether the prince's son is handsome and talented, the key is that he is not a match for himself.

Moreover, he might have other intentions for coming here, maybe he wants to act as a spy?
On the other side, Qin Tian discovered that three items had been exhibited, but there was no sign of the Night Pearl.

However, he believed that since it was said that it would happen, he would definitely wait until it appeared.

The woman sitting next to him also looked a little bored, just looking down at her phone.

When the fourth lot was unveiled, it was still not a night-shining pearl.

The woman got up and went to the bathroom. She had been holding back from going because she was afraid of missing the appearance of the night pearl.

After coming out of the bathroom, she immediately received a call.

"Grandpa, the night pearl hasn't appeared yet," she said.

"No matter how much money it costs, even if it means losing everything you have, you must take a picture of the Night Pearl for me! Do you understand?" Grandpa's firm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand, Grandpa. I will do my best." The woman replied solemnly.

At the same time, in the office on the second floor of the auction, a bearded man named Jin Fugui was staring at the surveillance screen.

He is the young master of the Jin family, the organizer of this auction.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door and came in hurriedly with a very ugly expression.

"What's wrong? Why do you have that expression?" Jin Fugui asked unhappily.

"Master, something big has happened!" the servant said hurriedly.

It turned out that the exhibits were stored in a fixed room, but they were stolen last night.

The thief only stole the night-shining pearl, while the other exhibits were safe and sound.

What's even more bizarre is that the thief replaced the real night pearl with a fake one.

This clearly shows that the thief came for the Night Pearl.
Jin Fugui hurried to the warehouse to check, secretly regretting that he should have sent staff to guard here earlier.

The scene before him made his heart sink. The night pearl had been swapped, and the thief also left a letter.

The letter claimed that this fake night pearl was so real that it could be mistaken for a real one, and advised him to just treat it as the real one.

In this way, the Jin family will not suffer any losses.

Jin Fugui couldn't help but curse.

The servant trembled and asked what to do. He angrily scolded: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You are reporting it now!"

The servant blamed himself in panic and admitted that it was the staff's negligence that failed to discover it early.

Jin Fugui thought that although the Jin family had declined in recent years, it was still a prominent family with a profound heritage.

If people knew that there were fakes at the auction, it would be a big trouble.

You might even end up in a lawsuit.

However, at this moment he was in a dilemma.

Should I confess the truth to everyone?
This doesn't seem right.

At this time, the servant made a suggestion.

It's better to just go with the flow and pass the fake off as the real thing.

This thing originally came from the imperial palace of the Kyushu Empire. Maybe it was fake back then?
Jin Fugui was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to think there was some truth in it.

"Yes, maybe what the emperor gave back then was fake, and people here just didn't see it."

But then he shook his head again, feeling a little hesitant.

"Is this really okay? Why do I feel like I'm lying?"

"But, apart from this, what other good solution do we have?" the servant asked.

Jin Fugui sighed, it seemed that this was the only way.

"Okay, that's settled. But you must remember that this matter must not be leaked, and our staff must also keep it a secret, understand?"

"Yes, we all understand, don't worry." The servant responded quickly.

Jin Fugui looked at the fake night pearl carefully. It was indeed somewhat indistinguishable from the real thing. It seemed that the thief came prepared.

"This is outrageous. Who did this? How could it be so abominable? We can't just let this go."

But he didn't dare to call the police and could only investigate and deal with the matter secretly.

Otherwise, today's auction would not be able to continue. This made him feel very frustrated and depressed.

The servant retreated temporarily.

According to the original plan, the Night Pearl was the seventh exhibit.

And now, a fifth exhibit is going up for auction.

The seventh exhibit must be prepared for its debut.

Qin Tian seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting, and so was the woman beside him, Zhao Juhua.

When the sixth exhibit was not the Night Pearl, Zhao Juhua couldn't help but complain in a low voice, saying that so much time had been wasted today.

But at this time, Qin Tian seemed much calmer.

He knew very well that since he was here, he had to wait patiently.

Because it is impossible to come in halfway.

Finally, when it came to the seventh exhibit, the Night Pearl finally made its appearance.

The etiquette lady specially designed an opening speech, claiming that this night pearl was priceless, and more importantly, the story behind it was of extraordinary significance.

When the general of Lin State invaded the palace of Jiuzhou Empire, the emperor was so frightened that he had to hand over the night pearl.

These words caused everyone to burst into laughter, but Qin Tian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and almost had a fit.

But he finally held back, knowing that now was not the time to act impulsively.

However, he would never let this matter go.

He must tell Shui Wenrou about this and let her decide.

The etiquette lady went on to say that this night pearl was unique and the starting price was set at one million.

Qin Tian and Zhao Juhua looked at each other, and both felt the temptation and provocation from the other.

The night-shining pearl can emit a soft light at night, attracting many people to bid for it.

Zhao Juhua looked at Qin Tian and urged, "Why don't you raise the price?"

Qin Tian asked back: "Why do you have to blame me? Didn't you also not move?"

The two decided to wait and see.

After a while, the price of the Night Pearl had been driven up to three million.

At this point, many people began to back off.

They felt that although the story of this night pearl was attractive, it did not seem as precious as other antiques.

If I buy it at a high price, I'm afraid it won't be worth it.

Just as the etiquette lady was about to drop the hammer, Zhao Juhua suddenly stood up and was willing to bid 3.1 million.

She glanced at Qin Tian triumphantly, only to find that Qin Tian seemed to be lost in thought.

He didn't bid.

This made Zhao Juhua feel a little surprised and secretly happy.

If Qin Tian doesn't raise the price any more, then this night pearl will belong to her.

Grandpa has instructed that I must buy the Night Pearl at any price.

But now it seems that you don't have to go bankrupt to succeed.

The etiquette lady asked twice, but no one raised the price.

A smug smile appeared on Zhao Juhua's face.

She thought Qin Tian was scared off by the high price.

However, at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly said: "Please wait a moment."

Although the etiquette lady was a little unhappy, she still maintained a professional smile.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Normally, there needs to be a clear reason for interrupting the etiquette lady casually, otherwise it will be considered as disruptive.

Qin Tian suggested that he needed to personally verify the authenticity of the night pearl.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

In everyone's perception, the items at the auction are always genuine and worth the price. (End of this chapter)
