They imdiately looked over, only to see that the bidder was an exceedingly ordinary man, which took them by surprise. Scanning his surroundings, they found no suspicious Eastern woman.
Yiren’s heart sank. The woman hadn’t shown up in person?
Impossible. These two items were of significant importance to the Hua family. How could she not attend the auction herself? She must be hiding sowhere, covertly directing the bidding.
Therefore, they had to watch closely, to seek out this woman through the actions of the bidder.
Yiren imdiately gestured for a subordinate to co over and whispered a command in his ear:
"Keep a close eye on this man. See who he frequently glances at; that person must be his master. Also, have our people continuously join in the bidding and drive up the price. I refuse to believe that woman can restrain herself. The mont she loses her composure and slips up, we’ll know who she is."
Since this man was just a pawn, he would certainly be looking for instructions from the woman’s gaze. As soon as he made eye contact with soone, they could lock on to the target.
However, this proved that the woman had so brains, to not show herself directly. But she shouldn’t dream of escaping from Yiren’s grasp.
"Thirteen billion." Yiren’s assigned person announced a bid imdiately.
"Fourteen billion." The man followed with another bid.
Sitting in the back, Hua Lunxi was frantic with worry. It seed Ye Lu had really co. How could this girl take such a risk to co here? If Ivan and his daughter recognized her, she would be in danger. They wouldn’t spare them.
What to do? She was just a woman, and pregnant at that. If sothing happened here, it would be the end.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he suddenly spotted Third Young Master Jun in a box opposite him.
"My stomach feels uncomfortable, I fear diarrhea, and I need to use the restroom," he said uncomfortably as he stood up and left the box.
Ivanov gave a signal, and imdiately a bodyguard followed Hua Lunxi, who was well aware that the bodyguard was there to monitor his every move.
His heart sank. It wouldn’t work to directly tell Third Young Master Jun that Ye Lu was here.
He had to think of sothing.
Reaching the corridor outside Third Young Master’s box, Hua Lunxi suddenly clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground.
The sound was not too loud, but for soone as alert as Third Young Master Jun, he imdiately noticed and turned his head to see Hua Lunxi on the floor, a hint of puzzlent in his eyes.
"You dumb deer, help up quickly," Hua Lunxi shouted at the bodyguard, scolding him, "What are you silly standing there for? Ate too many leaves and your brain’s swollen? If you’re any slower, my life will be in danger."
The bodyguard, confused and irritated by the scolding, knew that Hua Lunxi was an important guest and quickly helped him up and to the restroom.
Third Young Master Jun frowned and turned his head back. Hua Lunxi was usually elegant; it was rare to see him curse soone.
And this way of cursing was offbeat and peculiar. Usually, if you call soone stupid, you would say "fool" or "idiot," wouldn’t you? Where did "dumb deer" co from?
Wait, that’s not right.
Third Young Master Jun’s frown deepened. Leaves? Dumb deer? These two words contained Ye Lu’s na. Was this a coincidence?
Thinking about Hua Lunxi’s inexplicable actions and his ntion of a life-threatening danger, Jun suddenly tensed. Could it be that Hua Lunxi was indicating Ye Lu was in danger? How would Hua Lunxi know? Could it be that Ye Lu was here?
Third Young Master Jun was dubious, yet he couldn’t use his phone since they were not allowed at the auction, and now he couldn’t even call ho to the villa.
He didn’t know how credible Hua Lunxi’s words were, but he preferred to believe them, because if anything happened to Ye Lu, he couldn’t accept the consequences.
