Losing control before marriage, the abstinent president becomes a clingy person

The biting sea breeze, carrying a strong salty smell, swept into the luxurious cruise ship banquet hall like a turbulent undercurrent.

The dazzling crystal chandelier above the head cast a golden glow that fell right on the transparent glass cover in the center of the booth.

The jade seal with the words "Mandate from Heaven" was placed quietly inside, and the gilded inscription emitted a cold light under the direct spotlight.

At the dragon button, mottled blood-stained lines are faintly visible, as if sealing an ancient curse from a thousand-year-old emperor. It is mysterious and majestic, and daunting.

"Starting price - 80 million."

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

In the VIP box on the second floor, the bidding lights lit up impatiently, breaking the brief silence.

A noble lady wearing a jade mask was leaning lazily on a gilded chair, her posture elegant yet somewhat nonchalant.

She lightly slid her nails, painted with nail polish, across the bidding cards, making slight sounds as her nails touched the cards.

Beside me, Mr. H, dressed in a suit and tie, was talking on the phone in Russian in a low and rapid voice. The cold light reflected by the Patek Philippe dial on his wrist was exactly the same as the sinister flash in his eyes, which made people shudder.

In a hidden corner of the venue, Gu Xiaotong, Su Hao and A'er were quietly lurking there as collectors.

Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and they could see every move of everyone in the venue.

There was a hint of determination at the corner of Gu Xiaotong's mouth.

However, at this moment, her eyes inadvertently swept across a seat in the front row, and a familiar figure came into her sight, and her gaze froze instantly.

"Brother Abao?" she exclaimed in her heart.

It turned out that the auction he was talking about was actually this one! A trace of suspicion quickly flashed across her eyes, like ripples on a calm lake.

Su Hao beside her keenly noticed her abnormality and asked softly, "What did you find?"

She came back to her senses and responded calmly: "No, I just saw an acquaintance."

Su Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible arc, and whispered: "Concentrate on completing the task. Find an opportunity to contact Mr. H in person later."

Gu Xiaotong nodded slightly, but did not notice the subtle expression that flashed across Su Hao's face.

Mr. H's identity is mysterious and special. He never appears in public. His appearance at the auction this time has attracted attention from all parties.

Gu Xiaotong's gaze was like a sharp dagger, locked tightly on him, and his mind was rapidly calculating how to extract the key information that Yamamoto Ryuqi needed from him.

This is a huge order worth 20 million. If this mission can be successfully completed, she can use it as a powerful bargaining chip to withdraw from the XK organization and start a new life.

Her eyes suddenly turned, and her peripheral vision swept across the shadows on the third floor. In the darkness, a tall silhouette loomed, and the cigar between Gu Qishen's fingers flickered with faint sparks. His eyes were like a king overlooking all living things, coldly sweeping across the entire banquet hall.

"Brother?" Gu Xiaotong was shocked. He actually came to Japan? Did he come for this mission, or specifically to help her?

Gu Xiaotong frowned deeply, feeling more and more that things were slipping away from her control. The certainty on her lips just now gradually turned into worry and suspicion.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was becoming increasingly heated due to the auctioneer's instigation.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

Yamamoto Ryuki looked determined and held up the bidding card high in the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaotong's pupils suddenly contracted, and the miniature camera in his hand accurately captured the movement of the H couple's lips when they whispered.

The next second, five eye-catching words "Keep still for now" popped up on the lip-reading interpretation screen.

It seems that this couple does have a backup plan.

The bidding was still fierce, and 'Mandate by Heaven' was highly sought after by many collectors at home and abroad. In a short while, the price had reached a sky-high price of 2 million.

The number of bidders continued to increase. When the price soared to 2 million, the auction venue suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on Mr. H.

He stood up slowly, his every move was calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

"Three hundred million." Mr. H's voice was low and steady, but it was like a blockbuster bomb, causing a huge wave in the conference hall.

Everyone gasped, and even Yamamoto Ryuki couldn't help but frown slightly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Gu Xiaotong's heart suddenly hung in his throat, and his eyes were fixed on Mr. H.

Yamamoto Ryuki had a sullen face and was about to raise his placard to bid again when a stranger spoke first, "Three hundred and fifty million."

There was an uproar in the meeting hall, and all eyes were instantly directed towards that person.

Who is this person?

The man was very young, wearing a well-tailored suit, showing the demeanor of a successful person. He looked less than 30 years old, but he was so generous and spent money lavishly, as if money was just a game of numbers in his eyes.

Among the international members, no one has ever seen such a person.

Among international collectors, anyone with status and position is basically familiar, but this person is like a mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere, leaving everyone puzzled.

Gu Xiaotong in the corner, like everyone else present, looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.

"Brother Abao, he also came for this jade seal? How could it be?" She looked at the figure suspiciously, her mind running like a high-speed machine, frantically analyzing the complex situation at the moment.

"According to the plan." At this time, Su Hao's voice came to her ears, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Gu Xiaotong came back to his senses and looked at him, stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, stopping him: "No! We must understand the situation before we take action!"

"You have been blinded by love, Gu Xiaotong!" Su Hao said sternly, "Mr. Yamamoto said that he only used this collection to lure out Mr. H, and he never thought of actually trading the jade seal. Your mission is to find out the details of Mr. H and complete Mr. Yamamoto's entrustment!"

"But the situation has changed, hasn't it?" Gu Xiaotong still insisted, "I said that I would be responsible for finding out Mr. H's background, and I will never break my promise..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Su Hao gave her a cold look, and then said into the miniature microphone: "Take action immediately!" His voice was firm and unquestionable.

Gu Xiaotong was extremely angry, with rage burning in his eyes, "Cancel the action immediately! I need to consult the person in power before making a decision on this matter!"

"It's too late!" Su Hao locked his eyes with hers. "The operation has already begun. Your mission is to take advantage of the chaos and find a way to get close to Mr. H!"
