Chapter 1 Betrayal
January 2025, 1 Huaxia

City S, at eight o'clock in the evening, brilliant auction house.

In the splendid hall, the hall was full of people, and the men and women dressed well were all staring at the auction table with fiery eyes.

The green light in his eyes was like a hungry wolf who had been hungry for eight hundred years, when he suddenly saw a piece of meat and wanted to swallow it.

In the box on the second floor, Leng Wuyou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the goblet in his hand swayed randomly, and the bright red liquid inside was like blood flowing with the woman's movements.

"Sister Leng, is it true or false that you say that this thing has the ability to travel through time and space?" Mengzi sitting on the sofa touched his short head, holding the picture book of the auction item in his hand, and looked at the ordinary can't in the picture book. In the ordinary ring, full of thought.

Leng Wuyou looked at the hall outside the floor-to-ceiling windows without any disturbance, his tone did not fluctuate, "How is it necessary to distinguish between true and false now?"

Mengzi was silent, and followed Leng Wuxin's line of sight. In his eyes were the faces of people who were excited, expectant or greedy. There was really no need to divide, Mengzi thought.

eight thirty

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a beam of lights hit the sales stand, or more precisely, an antique wooden box on the auction stand.

Auctioneer Jayne also appeared on the auction table.

At this moment, the hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the wooden box.

Auctioneer Jayne coughed lightly, and the voice spread throughout the hall through the microphone.

"Cough, good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Brilliant Auction. I believe you already know the items we are going to auction today, so please let us take a look at the items this time." Jayne went The first step is to reach out and open the wooden box.

In the box, there was a gray ring lying quietly, with a gray gemstone inlaid in the middle of the ring. The gemstone had no luster, like dust that had lost its energy and looked like a treasure.

Leng Wuyou looked at it with a fixed gaze, and it was inevitable in his eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene became hot, like the long-suppressed volcano, which seemed to erupt in the next moment.

The corners of the cold and worry-free lips curled up, but there was no trace of waves in his eyes.

"Do it." A faint voice came out of her mouth and into the headset.

There was a sound of harmony, "Yes."

At this time Mengzi also quietly left.

The atmosphere in the hall was excited and hot, and at this moment the lights in the hall suddenly flashed a few times.

"Zizi"

The next moment the lights went out, and the hall suddenly fell into darkness.

In the dark, no one noticed a figure approaching the auction platform like a ghost. When he saw the contents of the box, Leng Wuyou's eyes flashed, his palm turned over, and the same ring as in the box suddenly appeared in Leng Wuyou's palm. The fingertips flicked and the two rings were instantly exchanged.

"I got it." After getting the things, Leng Wuyou took advantage of the chaos and left quickly.

"Mengzi, the task is completed, withdraw."

"Yes, Miss Leng."

Leaving the auction, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Leng Wuyou, Leng Wuyou opened the door and sat in, and the car drove away instantly.

"Why are you here?" Leng Wuyou frowned as he looked at the woman driving.

Mei Ran rolled her eyes, "I'm worried you can't do it?"

Leng Wuyou was not talking, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Mei Ran, who was driving in front, saw through the rearview mirror the dozing cold worry in the back seat, her eyes flashed with shadows, her originally clear eyes instantly turned cloudy, and a strange arc appeared on her lips.

Leng Wuyou opened her eyes abruptly, her eyes flashed fiercely, and she directly met Mei Ran's sinister gaze, her body was weak and her mind was dizzy, so Leng Wuyou really realized that she had been tricked.

And the person who attacked her turned out to be Mei Ran.

At first, she thought that the ring was poisonous, but when she saw that Mei Ran seemed to have changed her appearance, Leng Wuyou's heart sank instantly.

"Why?" Leng Wuyou asked.

In her heart, she always regarded the other party as her younger sister. She didn't understand why Mei Ran did this. Maybe she understood that Leng Wuyou was very calm and terrifyingly calm.

At this moment, Mei Ran had parked her car in the desolate suburbs, turned around and looked at Leng Wuyou innocently, "What is Miss Leng saying?"

"Meiran!" Leng Wuyou's eyes sharpened, killing intent emerged.

Feeling the strong killing intent, Mei Ran's body trembled instinctively.

Damn it, it's the same again, every time she faced her, she couldn't help but feel terrified, and Mei Ran couldn't pretend, and looked at Leng Wuyou with an ugly face.

"Why? Haha, Leng Wuyou, do you know how painful my life is every day? Why can I only live in your shadow? Every time I see your high above, I can't wait to scratch your face and tear your face away. Stepping on with arrogance, why should everyone see you first, but I only become your foil, even Konoha, I like him for more than ten years, but he doesn't even look at me. What?" Mei Ran's eyes were full of madness, and jealousy devoured her sanity.

"Lengyouyou, I hate you, I wish you would die soon. I've been looking forward to it for more than ten years today, Lengyouyou, go to hell!" Mei Ran's eyes were red, and the gun in her hand was aimed at Lengyouyou's eyebrows.

"Bang" a bullet was fired from the muzzle, Leng Wuyou was struggling to the side, and the bullet hit the seat.

"Haha" a sneer sounded suddenly, and Leng Wuyou's voice came from the back seat, "If you want me to die, you must have the consciousness of death."

"What?" Mei Ran's heart was beating wildly, and she quickly wrapped her up in anxiety. She wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"Boom" a fire soared into the sky, a huge explosion sounded in the silent night, and the aftermath of the explosion devoured everything around.
