Following Saran's report, a charity auction took place.
Compared to Saran's passionate speech earlier, the subsequent auction seemed somewhat perfunctory.
The items that the Huiermei Medical Foundation put up for auction were very simple. There were no antiques or high-tech items, only some simple service products and some modern handicrafts whose problems were obvious at a glance.
The oldest item at the auction was a 20-year-old long-term medical service from the Huiermee Foundation, which had been on the market for a hundred years. This long-term medical service, which had a market price of 13999 federal dollars, was eventually sold for 140,000 federal dollars to a lady who had just been crying her eyes out.
Hashi also spent 100,000 federal dollars to purchase a two-person unlimited tour pass for Intercity.
Intercity is a tourist city in the southern part of the Commonwealth, with tourism as its main industry. It boasts numerous amusement parks and various man-made landscapes with diverse scenery.
Although this joint ticket is clearly not worth 100,000 Federal Credits, it is already considered to have a relatively low premium in the entire auction.
Midway through the auction, He Ao also left the banquet hall under the pretext of smoking.
On the 39th floor of the Huierme Medical Building, in addition to this giant banquet hall, there is also the group's staff canteen.
He Ao's actions were not hindered in any way. After leaving the banquet hall, he smoothly entered the banquet canteen and met some employees who were eating.
However, his luck wasn't so good this time; he didn't "bump into" any of his former students.
He eventually memorized the structure of the 39th floor and then walked to the elevator next to it.
The elevator has a very clear access control system. To enter any floor except the 39th floor and the underground parking lots on floors -1 and -2, you need to swipe a special employee ID card. Obviously, He Ao did not have an employee ID card.
So he left the elevator and returned to the banquet venue.
Hai Xi didn't ask him where he had gone. By the time he returned, the auction was already coming to an end.
The dinner concluded after the host reiterated that all proceeds from the event would be donated to the Huierme Charitable Foundation for the purpose of helping homeless children.
Nothing happened at the dinner, which made even the usually peaceful Heo feel a little uneasy.
Finally, Heo and Haixi mingled with the crowd and left the banquet hall.
"how do you feel?"
On the way out, Hai Xi smiled and looked at He Ao.
"We can only hope that they will use the money where they claim it is."
He shrugged, walked to the storage box, and took the suitcase that he had left there.
"Then I can only hope that your wish comes true."
Hai Xi chuckled softly.
The two stepped into the elevator that had just arrived.
Hai Xi pressed the button for the floor in the underground parking lot, and the elevator doors slowly closed and began to descend.
At that moment, outside the completely closed elevator doors, a staff member dressed in a neat suit walked over, placed a "Under Maintenance" sign in front of the elevator doors, and sealed off the elevator with an electronic safety barrier.
The chapter is over 5,000 words long, and my throat is so sore that I can't concentrate. I haven't been sleeping well for the past few days. Everyone should take care of their health later tonight.
Chapter 542 Trap (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"Is this charity gala held annually?"
He Ao stared at the constantly changing floor numbers on the display screen inside the elevator and suddenly asked a question.
"Yes."
Hai Xi nodded gently, then turned to look at He Ao. "What's wrong?"
"You come every time?"
He Ao continued to ask.
"no,"
Hai Xi shook her head. "In the past, they would just send me a message asking me to donate money. But in the last two years, my business has been doing better, which is why I've become eligible to attend the banquet. To be precise, I've only been eligible to attend this banquet since last year."
At that moment, the elevator arrived, and the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing the quiet, brightly lit underground parking lot.
"Was this the same underground parking lot you came to last time?"
He Ao stared at the rows of parked cars as he stepped out of the elevator and asked.
“I don’t think it was here last time. This building has several underground parking lots. In theory, the parking assistant at Huimei should take us to the nearest parking lot.”
Hai Xi glanced around and closed the distance between herself and He Ao. "However, the general decoration style here is the same as the underground parking lot I came to last time, and even the elevators are in similar locations."
"This is indeed the closest parking lot we've encountered since we arrived,"
He Ao glanced around at the luxury cars that seemed to have just stopped. These luxury cars were all equipped with privacy windows, so it was impossible to see inside from the outside.
He moved slowly, walking with Haixi towards the parking space where they had parked earlier.
He Ao drove the car here, and he remembered the route along the way, especially after arriving at the Huiermei Medical Building.
This parking lot was indeed the closest one to them at the time. Guided by the smart parking assistant, they entered the parking lot almost immediately after turning the corner, without any interruption.
Is there something wrong with this?
Hai Xi's expression turned serious. She slowly unfastened the clasp on her skirt, turning the long skirt into trousers.
"It's too quiet here."
He Ao glanced back at the now-closed elevator doors.
The elevator still displayed the floor number of this underground parking garage, and the elevator stopped here instead of going up immediately.
In other words, no one is using this elevator.
He looked away and continued forward.
They parked not far from the elevator; just a few steps away, the two saw the black sports car that had driven up.
The sports car lay quietly under the dim lights, like a shadow with bared fangs disappearing into the night.
He stopped not far from the sports car, and Hai Xi stopped beside him.
"has a problem?"
Hai Xi gazed at her familiar car.
"wait for me a while."
He glanced at the ground to the left of the sports car and handed the briefcase in his hand to Hai Xi.
Then, in a flash, he appeared next to the driver's seat of the sports car, smashed the driver's side window with a punch, took out the dagger he had kept on the driver's seat, and then abruptly pulled his hand back and jumped backward.
The entire process was fluid and extremely fast. Hai Xi could barely follow He Ao's movements with her eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but before she could...
As soon as she spoke, He Ao had already pulled his hand out of the car and jumped back.
boom--
At that very moment, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out.
A fierce burst of flames erupted from the black sports car, and a powerful shockwave rushed toward Heo, who had leaped away, and Haixi, who was standing not far away.
Hai Xi suddenly shut her mouth and turned to run away.
He Ao appeared beside her, and the two rolled over and hid behind a support pillar in an underground parking lot.
collapse--
The iron sheet, still smoldering with flames, crashed into the concrete supporting pillar, sending sparks flying.
"What were you trying to say?"
He Ao twirled the dagger, getting used to its feel, and then turned to look at Hai Xi.
“My car is quite expensive.”
Still somewhat shaken, Hai Xi sighed and laughed, then suddenly opened the briefcase in her hand, revealing two heavy pistols and six magazines placed together inside.
She grabbed a gun, quickly loading a magazine as she asked, "How did you discover that the car was loaded with a bomb?"
But He Ao didn't reply to her immediately. Instead, he suddenly shouted, "Jump forward!"
Nourishes—
Almost at the same time He Ao shouted those words, the sound of tires violently scraping the ground suddenly rang out.
Two bright headlights suddenly illuminated the dark underground parking lot, and a heavy SUV parked very close to the two suddenly started and crashed into them, who had just narrowly escaped the explosion.
Heo and Haixi rolled forward almost simultaneously, avoiding the impact of the SUV.
"The bomb wasn't on the vehicle; a small unmanned vehicle carrying the bomb was parked underneath it, and there were traces of the unmanned vehicle on the ground."
While explaining to Hai Xi, He Ao took the remaining gun from Hai Xi's suitcase, released the safety, cocked it, turned around, and fired a shot at the SUV that was turning around and about to crash into them.
boom--
The bullet pierced the windshield and shattered the body of the driver who was flooring the accelerator.
The SUV went out of control and crashed into another load-bearing pillar not far away, and flames burst from the vehicle.
Hesy gathered up the remaining magazines and carefully recalled the ground environment around the sports car. In the dim light of the underground parking lot, the ground all seemed the same, and she found no suspicious traces.
If He Ao hadn't been there, she might have been seriously injured by that bomb.
"Are they planning to finish me off here?"
Hayesh released the safety of the pistol, stood back-to-back with Heo, pulled the holster, and chambered the gun.
At this moment, she also realized some problems. The bomb could not have exploded just when He Ao went to get something. This proved that the person who planted the bomb was nearby or monitoring the underground parking lot through some means so as to control the bomb to explode at any time.
He Ao went to retrieve the dagger to test whether the mastermind was still monitoring the area.
Given that He Ao had clearly noticed something amiss with the sports car, the most sensible decision was to detonate the bomb while He Ao was retrieving something, thus injuring at least one of He Ao's victims.
And that's exactly what the person behind the bomb did.
Unfortunately, He Ao
His reaction speed exceeded his expectations, which meant that things did not cause Heo the harm he had imagined.
Although she had expected it, Hai Xi was still surprised by the other party's actions this time.
She thought that even if the other party was going to make a move, they would at least wait until they left the Huiermei Medical Building before doing so. She never expected that the other party would launch an attack in the underground parking lot.
