The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

After saying this, Laker took the lead and walked to the car.

Qin Jiu wanted to move forward quickly, but the dress she was wearing prevented her from moving freely.

She had no choice but to lift her skirt and take small steps forward.

Laker put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand towards Qin Jiu.

It was rare for Laker to show his gentlemanly manners, and Qin Jiu put his hand on Laker's hand.

With the help of Laker, Qin Jiu finally got on this extremely exaggerated carriage.

I have to say, this thing is expensive for a reason. I didn't expect that there are two soft sofas in such a small compartment.

Qin Jiu thought that there were only wooden chairs on both sides of the carriage, but now it seems that she was short-sighted.

Qin Jiu sat on the sofa. Laker pressed some button and a rectangular wooden table rose from the floor until it was completely across the middle of the two sofas.

Qin Jiu and Laker sat opposite each other. Laker took out a bottle of drink from the small refrigerator beside him and opened it.

He asked, "Do you drink?"

Qin Jiu shook her head and looked at all the objects in the carriage.

She curiously pressed the button beside her, and suddenly melodious music appeared in the car, and spotlights of different colors suddenly appeared above her head.

Compared to just now, it seems like a different place, now it has become a small walking bar.

Laker, who was sitting on the opposite side, seemed to be enjoying the music and lights at the moment very much and cast an appreciative look at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu: ...

Qin Jiu: "I see you seem to know a lot about these things. Have you sat here often before?"

Laker stopped shaking his head and put the drink in his hand on the table.

He leaned on the sofa, his pair of dark eyes staring at Qin Jiu.

"Yeah, I guess so. After all, some places require this kind of presence to get in and out. Remember to follow me closely and don't wander around."

Qin Jiu fell silent after hearing this and looked out the window through the one-way glass.

As night falls, the streets, which should have become deserted, become unusually lively.

There are no fewer pedestrians on the road than during the day, and the streets are even busier than during the day.

This is a major feature of Star City. All darkness emerges with the arrival of night.

In the morning, people don't dare to go too far, but at night, evil things happen everywhere.

When Qin Jiu and her companions' carriage passed through the street, she could clearly feel the gazes coming from outside the window.

Although they couldn't see what was happening inside, they still instinctively showed greed towards Qin Jiu and the others.

Anyone who can ride on the Star-Moon Carriage in this place must be no ordinary person.

Although they knew that the people in the carriage had wealth that ordinary people could not achieve, because of the Star-Moon Carriage, they could only watch the carriage leave silently and did not step forward to stop it.

The Star-Moon Carriage has only one destination.

——Xingyue Auction House.

The owner of the auction house is extremely mysterious. He has wealth that rivals that of the federal government, but he has never appeared in public.

Everyone can hear all kinds of rumors about him. Some say he is a manipulator of the federal government, while others say he does not actually exist and the Star-Moon Auction House is just a place where a group of rich people stay to play.

Gradually, everyone became more and more curious about him.

There are always some desperate people who want to break in and take a look, but without exception, they all end up dead on the streets the next day.

So much so that everyone remains curious about him, but dares not act rashly.

The Star-Moon Carriage is an exclusive service that only VIPs of the Star-Moon Auction can enjoy. The people in the carriage are protected by the Star-Moon Auction.

The coachman sitting in the front looks harmless, but no one would think he is just a simple coachman.

No one would be so desperate as to cause trouble at this time.

Qin Jiu withdrew his gaze from the malicious and greedy eyes. It was just as Laker said, the more ostentatious, the safer.

Arriving at the Xingyue Auction House, Qin Jiu got out of the car with the help of Laker.

They had put on masks before getting off the bus, so they didn't need to worry about being recognized even when they appeared in public.

Qin Jiu looked up and saw an enlarged version of the "Star-Moon Carriage" appearing before him.

Is this the Xingyue Auction House?

VIP customers are received by a dedicated person and use the VIP channel.

The waiter stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the two, and then led them into the auction hall.

Entering the auction house, they walked along the passage leading to the VIP room.

This place looks very ordinary, just an ordinary corridor covered with red carpet.

Qin Jiu could see the number of each box.

They stopped in front of a box and the waiter said, "You two, the box is here."

The waiter opened the door for them and it was pitch dark inside.

But strangely, the waiter did not take any further action or leave, but just stood there motionless.

He kept a perfect smile on his face from beginning to end, and because it was too mechanical, Qin Jiu wondered for a moment if it was a mecha...

Qin Jiu looked at Laker in confusion, as if asking: What should we do?

Laker naturally pulled out a star coin card from his suit pocket and threw it to the waiter. Qin Jiu scanned the amount on it -

One hundred thousand!

Qin Jiu's pupils trembled, and he looked up suddenly to meet Laker's eyes.

No wonder Laker looked down on the money she gave him in the village!

This is a tough guy who can use 100,000 star coins as a tip!

Did Laker think of himself as a fool at that time...

Laker was amused by Qin Jiu's eyes. He reached out and gently brushed a few strands of hair behind Qin Jiu's ears. Then he said in a gentle voice, "Dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Before they came, they had agreed to pretend to be a couple so that they would not look out of place when appearing in various occasions.

Although there is a big age difference between the two, it is not particularly surprising in a place like this.

After all, no one doesn't want money and power.

Not to mention the big age difference between the two, it would not be uncommon even if the other party brought a male lover.

There is another advantage to using this reason. This is Qin Jiu's first time entering an auction, and he may be completely clueless about many of the rules therein.

When she had the identity of "lover" given to her by Laker, she was a newbie here, and all her disharmonious behaviors became reasonable and not likely to arouse suspicion from others.

Qin Jiu received Laker's eye warning and immediately understood. He hugged his arm and said stiffly, "It's okay."

After receiving the high tip, the waiter's smile gradually grew. He enthusiastically turned on the lights in the room for Qin Jiu and the other person, adjusted the air conditioner to the optimal temperature, and finally said that they could call him anytime if they needed anything.

After closing the door of the private room, Qin Jiu sat on the sofa and said with a pained expression: "You, you, you... one hundred thousand! That's one hundred thousand!"

Laker shrugged and said, "There's no other way. I have to give it to you. You'll find out later that this hundred thousand has a much greater value than its original value."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you."

Laker seemed extremely familiar here, and Qin Jiu even wondered how many times he had been here.

Laker suddenly looked Qin Jiu up and down meaningfully and said:

"Don't leave the box casually, and be especially careful not to let the guy in the next box see you."

Qin Jiu: “?”
