Chapter 1033: Fell for It

If Chi Wen is exposed, then things will become difficult.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhengxiong’s heart sank, and he secretly thought that things were not going well.

At this moment, the reporter still relentlessly followed Lu Jihan, eagerly asking, "Mr. Lu, please say something, even just a little bit."

Shen Kang had already stepped forward to separate the reporter from Lu Jihan, preventing the man from further harassing Lu Jihan.

Meanwhile, Yan Zhengxiong turned around and gave a signal to his bodyguard.

The bodyguard understood, nodded slightly, and then turned to quietly leave through the back door.

Ten minutes later, the small auction resumed.

The Emcee stood on the stage at this time and said, "Thank you very much for your trust in Huairui Jewelry, letting us deeply feel the value of Huaren Jewelry. Next, we will start the second half of our auction activities..."

"Shakespeare once said, jewels are silent, yet they move women more than any language. Next, let’s invite the designer of Huairui Jewelry to guide everyone through the concepts of the new designs..."

Up next on stage was the designer of the jewelry company, who gave a rough introduction to the design of this new product series.

Afterward, the staff displayed the new season’s jewelry products.

From below the stage, people expressed their amazement.

Then, the Emcee introduced, "The proceeds from the auction of this series of designs will all be donated to children in the mountain areas..."

There was a round of cheering and applause from below the stage, with everyone expressing approval of this decision.

The Emcee said, "Next, we will start auctioning the first piece of jewelry... Each bid will increase by ten thousand, the auction begins now..."

The first piece of jewelry was a jade necklace.

When it was brought up, people rushed to raise their paddles, eager to bid for the splendid necklace.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred eighty thousand!"

"Nine hundred eighty thousand!"

Seeing the bidding price quickly approach one million, the room suddenly fell silent.

The auctioneer looked around, raised the microphone, and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid on this jade necklace? Please hurry, nine hundred eighty thousand once, nine hundred eighty thousand twice, nine hundred eighty thousand three times, good! This jade necklace will..."

Before the auctioneer could finish, a sudden, noisy, and piercing sound came from the speakers, causing people to frown involuntarily.

"What’s going on? What sound is so unpleasant?!"

People raised their hands to cover their ears, complaining with dissatisfaction.

Several seconds later, the noisy and piercing sound disappeared, replaced by a low, hoarse, and eerie man’s voice—

"What are you up to? Have you blown your cover? Just now, Chairman Yan and I heard with our own ears Lu Jihan say he has found the person directly responsible for Ning Wan’s incident. And he has identified the mole..."

This voice sounded like a man making a phone call.

But how was such a sound possible at the scene?

Sitting in the auction hall, Yan Zhengxiong’s face immediately changed dramatically when he heard the man’s voice.

Not good!

The speaker, isn’t he his bodyguard?

Then, he suddenly realized something, and his heart rang warning bells.

He immediately stood up, wanting to find his bodyguard’s figure, only to be stopped by Lu Jihan.

He raised an arm to stop him, "Chairman Yan, the auction has just resumed, and you’re leaving already? Isn’t it a bit impolite to suddenly leave at this moment?"
