Yao Manning stood there, furious.
The auction began, and the guests took their seats. Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can sat in the VIP seats at the very front.
Yin Ruohong did not show his face. He found a suitable spot on the second floor and looked down. The angle was just right to see Jiang Can's profile.
Yao Manning noticed this and became even more certain that Yin Ruohong, that old lecher, had taken a liking to Jiang Can!
He hadn't said a word to Jiang Can, yet he defended her so fiercely!
But Yao Manning spent the entire night talking to him, and yet she was still less effective than that little bitch…
She was seething with anger, so she didn't even sit down at the table. Instead, she turned around and found a corner to make a phone call.
"Where's Yao Wanyin?" Her voice was filled with barely concealed anger, but after taking a deep breath, it turned cold and menacing. "Heh, tell her that my sister will definitely come to see her after this auction!"
"Young Miss, this..." The maid on the other end said in a panic.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just say it!"
"No, Miss!" the maid cried anxiously. "Miss Wanyin...she's gone!"
Yao Manning almost dropped her phone.
"What?" She was silent for a long time, then asked almost hysterically, "What do you mean 'disappeared'!"
"Well...it was in the afternoon when Miss Wanyin said she wanted to go out and get some sun, so the nurse wheeled her out. Then she said she wanted to go to the garage to check on the cars, and the nurse didn't think much of it and wheeled her there, and then...she just disappeared!"
The maid's words were incoherent, leaving Yao Manning completely bewildered.
But from the few words she gleaned from the maid, she learned that Yao Wanyin had disappeared in the afternoon.
She disappeared just as she was preparing to leave for the auction...
Could it be that Yao Wanyin was hiding in her car?
Yao Manning composed herself. "Quickly send more people to search! Do Mom and Dad know about this yet?"
"The master and madam flew to Singapore early this morning. It seems to be about some group financing. They said they'll be staying there for a month or two!"
Yao Manning breathed a sigh of relief.
This would give her time to search around.
The first suspicious place is this auction! It's highly likely that Yao Wanyin hid in her car when no one was looking and then escaped!
...
Bai Jingyuan cursed that it was boring as he shakily pushed open the locker room door.
This auction was utterly boring; the only time I could have a drink was at the banquet. But today, I was neither diligent nor lazy, and I even wore white pants!
I wasn't paying attention when I raised my glass, and a glass of red wine spilled all over my pants...
Fortunately, the Bai family is always thoughtful and had already prepared trousers of various colors for him in the men's locker room.
After Bai Jingyuan went inside, he unzipped his pants and took them off, leaving him only in a pair of boxer shorts.
He was humming a song and casually rummaging through the dressing room when he suddenly saw a person huddled under the clothes, shivering!
"Ah!!" Bai Jingyuan was so frightened that he took several steps back, baring his teeth and claws.
The other person, just like him, was deathly pale and stared at him in terror.
Bai Jingyuan was stunned for more than ten seconds.
Those ten-odd seconds felt like centuries.
He looked her over; she was a pale, frail girl, as if she were seriously ill, coughing occasionally. But when she coughed, she would instinctively cover her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.
The only thing Bai Jingyuan was certain of was that this girl was really beautiful...
It's so beautiful it seems otherworldly.
He crouched down, like the way the fat orange cat at Jiang Can's house would catch a little bird, slowly approaching, observing cautiously, and then asked softly, "Who...who are you?"
The girl remained silent, her large eyes staring out of place on her small, delicate face.
"This is the men's locker room, don't you know?"
The girl pursed her lips, still staring at him.
Bai Jingyuan also looked down...
In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his chaotic mind went completely blank.
He's not wearing pants! He's not wearing pants!
And the spot the girl was staring at happened to be...
"Ahhh!"
What a terrible thing!
Bai Jingyuan continued to scream like a pig being slaughtered, frantically grabbing a piece of clothing from the side and covering himself with it.
The girl was terrified, crouching on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, with her hands covering her head.
Just then, someone knocked on the locker room door. Bai Jingyuan abruptly stopped calling out, and before he could react, he heard someone outside ask, "Is anyone inside? Is it convenient to come in now?"
It was a man's voice.
Bai Jingyuan was a little confused.
Just as he was about to open the door, something suddenly grabbed his ankle.
He looked down and saw the girl kneeling in front of him, grabbing his leg, her big eyes filled with tears.
"No..." she pleaded, "Don't open the door, don't tell them I'm here..."
"What?" Bai Jingyuan was even more bewildered. "What's going on?"
I beg you!
The knocking on the door grew louder.
Bai Jingyuan didn't have much time to think. The moment the person outside kicked the door open, he ripped off the clothes covering his body and pinned the girl to the ground.
His hand was placed on her back, separating her from the cold floor.
His muscular body completely enveloped her petite frame.
Several men burst in and were stunned by what they saw.
"What are you doing?" Bai Jingyuan turned his head slightly, glancing at them impatiently. "Where did you come from! Don't you want to live?"
Those were all servants of the Yao family. They recognized Bai Jingyuan and were terrified, their hearts leaping into their throats. "Young Master Bai..."
"Get the hell out of here! Can't you see we're doing serious business here?"
"Yes, yes..."
