Nan Xian was completely stunned—
The woman on the third floor had the exact same voice as Ruizhu!
She had just spoken with Ruizhu that afternoon, and Ruizhu's voice was very distinctive; there was absolutely no way she could have misheard her!
She stared intently, wishing her eyes could transform into Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, allowing her to see the woman's face clearly through the mask.
However, the third floor is still quite a distance from the lobby, and she doesn't have superhuman eyesight, so how could she really see clearly?
After the woman finished speaking, she raised her plaque and waved it at the auctioneer without waiting for Mr. Pang on the fourth floor to respond.
“Thirty million!” she announced loudly.
The lights in Mr. Pang's private room on the fourth floor went out, which meant he was withdrawing from the auction.
Upon seeing this, the auctioneer immediately announced: "Thirty million once! Thirty million twice! Thirty million three times! Sold! Congratulations to the lady on the third floor!"
The woman smiled contentedly, waved her embroidered fan with butterflies and flowers, made a gesture of thanks towards the fourth floor, then gracefully turned and disappeared behind the window.
Nan Xian rolled her eyes and started walking towards the stairs, but as soon as she turned the corner, she ran into Qi Maojin's group of bodyguards again.
She instinctively reached into her pocket, and the touch sent a chill down her spine—
My own "cheat code" has disappeared!
With people coming and going, countless people brushed past her. She hadn't even noticed when the "cheat code" disappeared, but now was not the time to worry about that!
If there were only two or three bodyguards on the other side, she might have been able to deal with them using her magic weapon, but—a whole group of them came!
What bad luck!
As they drew closer and closer, and given that this was a straight passage with no side paths, and that any sudden movement would only make her more vulnerable to being watched, Nan Xian had no choice but to grit her teeth, praying silently while pretending to remain calm as she continued walking forward.
Three meters, two meters, one meter—closer!
She could even see the time displayed on their watches out of the corner of her eye.
Nan Xian pursed her lips, unconsciously holding her breath, and her hands holding the tray were slightly sweaty.
She kept repeating to herself, "You can't see me, you can't see me..."
"Tap tap, tap tap."
Their footsteps briefly overlapped as they passed each other.
They didn't look at her.
Nan Xian felt as if she had just survived a major disaster. The tension she had been holding in instantly relaxed, and she belatedly realized that she was covered in a cold sweat.
That was close...
However, she had barely let out a breath and hadn't even had time to marvel at her good luck when she suddenly heard a sound behind her—
"Waiter, stop right there!"
She froze, her blood running backwards instantly.
Is it calling itself?
The group of bodyguards all stopped in their tracks, and one of them stepped out and approached her.
Nan Xian closed her eyes briefly, forcing herself to calm down, then turned and bent over—
"How can I help you?"
Thanks to the experience accumulated over two lifetimes, although her heart was pounding like a hundred rabbits in her chest, she still maintained a perfect smile that showed no flaws, and her voice did not tremble at all.
The bodyguard stepped forward, his eyes sweeping over her back with suspicion, and arrogantly commanded, "You, look up."
Nan Xian deliberately made faces and put on a fawning and fearful look, then slowly raised her head.
The bodyguard scrutinized her, his gaze lingering on her smooth, slender neck. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he reached out to remove Nan Xian's hat.
In the blink of an eye, before his hand could even touch her, Nan Xian abruptly sat up, threw the tray in her hand at his face, and turned around—
Run for your life!
