“It’s also because of this that this auction you mentioned is happening, right?”

“That’s what they say, but no one knows if it’s true.” Liu Hong said.

“Because there was similar news in the past. It said that gold and silver jewelry made of Ba.s.s ores would be flown out from an auction house, but in the end, there was nothing. The news was fake.”

Lin Yi nodded noncommittally, understanding the plan.

This was because news of Ba.s.s Ore could attract many tyc.o.o.ns and increase the level of the auction. The goods could then auction for a higher price.

“I understand,” Lin Yi said, “When is the auction?”

“8:00 p.m. the night after.”

“Let Ning Che go over. If you need anything, let me know.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t disturb you without good reason.” Liu Hong said.

“You, on the other hand, what have you been up to recently?”

“I play games too, but there’s a difference between the two of us. You’re 5V5, and I’m 1V9.”

“1V9?”

“One man, nine women.”

“Shameless.”

“I know people from Penguin® who can get limited edition skins.”

“Then cut the c.r.a.p and get me a set.”

“Gotcha.”

After hanging up on Liu Hong, Lin Yi kept fiddling with his phone as the scene from before replayed in his mind.

He was 50% sure that the man in black he met at the door was the man in black he had met several times before.

Even though he was wearing normal clothes, that strange feeling and those deep eyes were exactly the same as the man in black.

Lin Yi didn’t think that his judgment would be wrong. That kind of unique personality was rare in the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi called Shen Tianzhuo.

“Director Shen, are you busy?”

“I’m not busy these few days.” Shen Tianzhuo smiled and said, “1 took two days off to spend Christmas with my wife and children.”

Shen Tianzhuo had lived in Meiguo for more than ten years and had already developed a habit. This kind of thing was understandable.

“I need to trouble you with something.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“Can you hack the Sailboat Hotel in Doora? I need all their surveillance footage.”

“Sailboat Hotel? That’s a tough mission,” Shen Tianzhuo said.

“With the size of that hotel, it won’t be easy to hack into, but it can still be done. It’ll just take more time.”

Shen Tianzhuo had always been in charge of the network security of Lingyun Group. He was amongst the most elite experts in the world.

If even he said that, it was obvious how difficult this task was.

“Tell the people below to be all hands on deck. This matter is very important. The faster, the better.”

“No problem, but you’ll have to pay three times the salary because many researchers are from Ouzhou. They all took off for Christmas today,” Shen Tianzhuo teased.

“That’s not a problem. Just arrange it. Anyway, the sooner the better. It’s very urgent.”

“Leave it to me. Just wait for my update.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up on Shen Tianzhuo, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

Liu Hong couldn’t tell if this was true or not, but Lin Yi felt that it was most likely true.

But there was one more thing that Lin Yi didn’t understand, and that was what he was worried about.

Just now, Liu Hong had said that such an auction had been held before, but no ore products had flowed out. That was when he realized that it was a farce.

However, there might be another possibility.

In that auction, the ores might really have been present. The reason why the situation had developed as Liu Hong had said was very likely that the black-clothed person had stolen the items in advance.

This was because this fit his character exactly. This man would never be caught in the backfoot and would always take action in advance.

Every time they met, he was like this.

If the man in black he met at the door was indeed him.

In that case, it was very likely that Ning Che’s trip to the auction would be wasted and end up appearing like another farce.

The one who would reap the benefits would once again be the man in black.

Although the auction would only be held the day after, it was very likely that he would make a move before the auction began.

However, given the current situation, it seemed like things had not reached that stage yet. There was still a chance to prevent this.

However, he was not familiar with the situation in Doora, so he had to ask Ning Che about it.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about this, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped. Ji Qingyan wrapped a towel around herself and walked out.

“I’m done. You should go wash up too.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Lin Yi walked up to Ji Qingyan with a smile and pounced on her.

Pa.s.sing through the forest, traversing the canyons, and climbing up the mountain, Ji Qingyan’s cheeks were flushed red. It was a beautiful sight.

“Stop fooling around. Hurry up and take a shower. Then, the two of us will go out.”

Following Ji Qingyan’s instructions, Lin Yi went in for a quick shower.

After leaving the room, Ji Qingyan changed into another dress and began applying makeup.

“Come, come, come. 1’11 apply some for you too. The sun is so bright outside. You’ll be tanned after traveling around here for a few days.”

“It doesn’t matter if I get darker. I’ll look more masculine.”

“That won’t do. I still prefer you to be fair and tender. You won’t look good if you turn black.”

Pfft! She was obsessed with looks!

After everything was prepared, the two of them left the hotel and rented a Panamera. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to travel around here.

Following her instructions, Lin Yi drove to the Dooramall.

This was known as the largest shopping mall in the world. Only when he came here did Lin Yi realize that SKP or Henglong Plaza were like little brothers in front of it. The difference was very noticeable.

“Come on, let’s go. 1 can’t wait.”

Ji Qingyan’s eyes shone with excitement.

Lin Yi couldn’t understand. Was shopping in a mall that attractive?

Shouldn’t it be the most exciting part of the day be when you were taking off your clothes?

After parking the car, the two of them entered Dooramall. Lin Yi looked around but didn’t feel anything about the spariding jewelry.

On the other hand, Ji Qingyan’s interest did not diminish. She felt that she did not have enough eyes for everything.

“These things seem to be similar to Zhonghai’s. Is there a need to be so excited?”

“How can you think of them as the same? You don’t pay attention to details.”

Tin not on competing against Faker in the midlane. What’s the point of paying attention to so many details?’

“Look at that Graff necklace. It’s a cla.s.sic from the brand. It’s not available in Zhonghai.”

“There’s also the purple bracelet from Van Cleef & Arpels. It’s not available in the country, and neither is the red one.”

“There’s also the Cartier Leopard Head Necklace and Harry Winston’s Earrings. There’s none of these in the country. Didn’t you notice them?”

Lin Yi was speechless.

Ji Qingyan!

Awesome!

“I don’t think 1 need to pay attention to these things.”

“Then, for my sake, you should also pay attention to it.”

“So, this shows a problem. You don’t care about me at all. Hmph.”

Lin Yi shook his head. If he didn’t teach Ji Qingyan a lesson today, he would only suffer more in the future.

“Do you know how many RPM the tachometer shows when the La Voiture Noire reaches 180 miles per hour?”

“Do you know the color of this year’s limited edition AJ13?”

“Do you know who Faker is?”

“Hmm… if the La Voiture Noire is running at 180 miles per hour, its RPM should be about 3,200 rpm.”

“AJi3’s latest color scheme this year should be Terracotta Warriors.”

“Faker is from Korea. He’s a professional player in League of Legends. He’s a mid-laner, but there seems to be another Chinese player who’s as good as him. They’re evenly matched. However, after making his debut on CCTV, he disappeared. Am I right?”

Lin Yi was speechless.

Was Faker ever featured on CCTV?
