Chapter 112 Xie Jinghuai wins
"Fuck your mother! You filthy bitch! How dare you lie to me!"
The man flew into a rage, so furious he forgot to hang up the phone. He lunged forward and kicked Jiang Shiyuan in the chest again, yelling, "You dare to play me for a fool? I'll fuck you to pieces tonight! I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
Fu Yansi heard those vicious and wicked words.
Fu Chenzhou, who was sitting next to him, could hear it all clearly!
Especially that line—
"Fu Chenzhou, save me!"
The piercing cries and surging pain, like a monstrous wave, crashed unexpectedly into his chest, causing his strong body, which was lurking beneath his crisp black trench coat, to tremble violently.
"Aunt Jiang! Aunt Jiang!"
Fu Yansi shouted anxiously, but the screen went black and the call was dropped!
The next second, he burst into tears, shaking his father's stiff arm repeatedly.
"Dad! What happened to Aunt Jiang?! Has Aunt Jiang been kidnapped?!"
Due to the extreme emotional fluctuations, Fu Yansi clutched his chest, which was throbbing with pain, and his face suddenly turned deathly pale.
"Xing Zhen! Medicine!" Fu Chenzhou's dark eyes widened, and he pulled Banban into his arms.
Xing Zhen immediately took out the angina relief medication she always kept on hand and fed it to the young master, but the child's face was still very pale.
"Daddy...don't worry about me...go save Aunt Jiang...hurry!" Fu Yansi pushed against the man's hard chest with her small hands, crying uncontrollably.
The man's eyes were icy cold, like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath. "Xing Zhen, Miss Jiang is in trouble."
Xing Zhen was suddenly startled. "What?!"
Fu Chenzhou took a deep breath, his voice hoarse and trembling as he suppressed his emotions:
"The trip is canceled. Send someone to take the young master home, and come with me to the Yili Printing Factory in the northern suburbs immediately!"
...
The jade hairpin has been priced at a whopping 200 million!
Although such exorbitant prices have appeared in the history of Platinum Auction House before, those items were always worth the price.
This hairpin was clearly overpriced; it was no longer a simple auction, but a contest of strength between two big shots.
"Two hundred and twenty million!" Xie Jinghuai raised his paddle again, a heavy sigh escaping his lips.
If he doesn't get his hands on this tonight, he'll feel incredibly humiliated, and he probably won't be able to sleep well for the next month.
Netizens are treating this as a joke and have started placing bets on both sides:
[Ten packs of spicy strips! Mr. Xie wins!]
[Twenty packs! The off-field big shot wins!]
[If the big shot outside the venue wins, everyone in the live stream will send me a 10 RMB red envelope! I mean it!]
Lin Zhixin's face remained calm, but her heart was burning with anxiety!
The manuscript is all finished, everything is ready. If she can't remove the hairpin tonight, wouldn't she make a huge fool of herself?!
"Eric, would you like to order another one?" the auctioneer asked with a smile.
At this price, the auction house has already made a fortune. He now looks at the two big shots as if they were two jade statues and golden Buddhas.
Everyone, including Xie Jinghuai, held their breath.
Just when everyone thought the bigwigs offstage would call for more, the staff member suddenly shrugged and made a gesture to end the event.
"VIPs outside the venue won't have to pay extra, right? Great!"
The scene erupted in uproar once again.
It seems that in this covert contest, President Xie has won. The other side is still slightly inferior.
The auctioneer raised the gavel, announcing, "Two hundred and twenty million for the first time! Two hundred and twenty million for the second time! Two hundred and twenty million for the third time!"
Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Xie Jinghuai of the Xie Group! This precious collectible is now yours!
"Brother Jinghuai! You won! You got it!" Lin Zhixin was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Congratulations! Congratulations, Mr. Xie!"
"President Xie's strength is truly beyond our reach!"
People around him came to congratulate him, but Xie Jinghuai only smiled faintly, as if he didn't think that spending 200 million was a big deal.
"Ha, that guy off the field, I suspect he never really intended to buy from the start."
Shen Zhantang scoffed coldly, then resorted to conspiracy theories, "I think he deliberately raised the price, and then gave up the bidding when the time was right, making you, Ah Huai, pay a huge sum of money."
"Two hundred million is a huge loss? The Shen family's power is nothing special."
Xie Jinghuai's tone was indifferent, revealing a hint of the arrogance of a victor: "Anything in the world that I want, no matter how expensive, I won't think is expensive. But if I don't want something, I won't even glance at it no matter how cheap it is."
Shen Zhantang smiled knowingly, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Oh, I think there's something cryptic in what you're saying."
"So, Ah Huai, in your heart, who is someone you'd never trade for a second, and who is someone you wouldn't even bother to look at?"
Xie Jinghuai paused, about to speak, when another acquaintance stepped forward to offer congratulations:
"Mr. Xie spent two hundred million to buy that hairpin, presumably to take it home as a gift for his wife?"
That person knew that Xie Jinghuai was married and even had a child.
However, he was unaware of the couple's marital status and naturally assumed that he would buy such valuable antique jewelry at any cost and give it to his wife.
Moreover, in ancient times, hairpins were tokens of love, symbolizing a lifelong commitment to each other. They couldn't just be given to any other woman casually…
"No."
Xie Jinghuai said dismissively, "I gave it to Miss Lin."
"Ah? Ah... Haha, Mr. Xie really thinks highly of Miss Lin." The acquaintance flattered him verbally, but inwardly he was astonished.
Two hundred million! He spent it all on his mistress without even blinking an eye?
That's why she's called a "wife who has shared hardship"—in Xie Jinghuai's eyes, she's nothing!
"Brother Jinghuai, you really went to so much trouble... I didn't know it would cost so much to take the picture. I regret saying I liked it..." Lin Zhixin's eyes were red, and she was about to cry tears of joy.
It was as if Xie Jinghuai had already proposed to her.
"nothing."
The man's cold and stern face softened slightly. "Zhixin, without you, I wouldn't be alive today, and the entire Xie family would have collapsed."
This small gift is nothing compared to the life you saved.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixin's heart tightened, and the smile on her lips froze slightly.
She felt guilty.
She wasn't the one who saved Xie Jinghuai's life back then.
She was simply accompanying her mother to the hospital for a check-up when she happened to bump into Xie Jinghuai, who was being resuscitated. Then, she fabricated the story and claimed the credit.
Later, she learned that the person who truly saved Xie Jinghuai's life was a young girl.
She took Xie Jinghuai to the hospital, gave him a blood transfusion, and then left. During that time, she and her mother lived in constant fear, afraid that her act of taking credit for Xie Jinghuai would be exposed.
As a result, almost six years passed in the blink of an eye, and the real savior still hadn't appeared, so they finally felt relieved.
Who knows, it might already be dead, quietly and unnoticed, in some remote corner.
Only then did Xie Jinghuai have a moment to spare, and he took out his phone from his pocket.
On the screen, Jiang Shiyuan's missed calls were displayed.
The man's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he was about to call back when Shen Zhantang, as if out of the blue, brought his face close to his.
"Your wife who stood you up called you, huh? Did she watch the live stream and get impressed by your extravagant spending of 200 million, and regret not coming with you, so she contacted you?"
Xie Jinghuai lowered his eyes and stared coldly at the screen.
After a long pause, he put his phone back in his pocket, a cold sneer playing on his thin lips:
"I gave her a chance. She didn't cherish it, so she can't blame anyone else."
...
Jiang Shiyuan accurately called out her location, leaving the man speechless!
"Impossible... How could this be?!"
The man's face contorted with rage. He grabbed Jiang Shiyuan's hair, forcing her to look up into his fierce eyes. "You've been unconscious the whole way, and I even blindfolded you. There's absolutely no way you could know where you are!"
How did you know? Tell me!
"Ha... you idiot, you're finished..."
Jiang Shiyuan's bleeding lips curved slightly, her smile like a red plum blossom resolutely blooming in the biting cold wind, broken yet beautiful. "You've been exposed... Release me now... Leaving Beijing is your only way to survive..."
Otherwise, I guarantee... you'll die a horrible death..."
"Damn it! You bitch! I underestimated you!"
The man, trembling with shock and rage, immediately called Wu Hui, "Boss! What do we do? My location has been leaked!"
Wu Hui was stunned and angrily asked, "Who did you leak it to?!"
"What the hell is his name again... Right! Fu Chenzhou! Do you know this guy?"
"Fu Chenzhou? Never heard of him!"
Wu Hui didn't think about any of that; he was furious. "Forget about all that for now. Now that we've been exposed, get that woman out of there immediately and move her somewhere else!"
"Then, do we still need the ransom?"
"Don't worry about money, saving your life is the priority! That guy surnamed Fu might have already called the police!"
"Damn it! You filthy bitch! I'm going to skin her alive!" The man was furious!
"Move people over first."
Wu Hui paused, then steeled his resolve. "If necessary, kill her! In short, we must not let this woman go back alive!"
