Las Vegas' largest auction house was now brightly lit, and its seats were packed.

Unlike other women, she was wearing a dark purple suit. Her well-ironed clothes accentuated her alluring figure and, coupled with her exquisite and perfect face, she had already become the focal point of the crowd just by appearing on stage!

She is Gu An Xia! The current leader of the Gu's Group!

At this moment, the auction was in full swing. After a series of auctions, the first item to be auctioned was a unique antique watch.

The auctioneer excitedly introduced the origins of the watch, "Ladies and gentlemen, this watch was born in 1950. The diameter of the watch is 38 mm, for the 1950s, it was definitely a miracle, and what's more, this watch is a unique and lonely product, and the core of the watch has lasted until today. Well then, everybody, now you can bid! "The starting price is one million!"

"One million and five hundred thousand!"

"One million eight hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

"..."

From the appearance of this watch, Gu An Xia's lips curved up into a smile. This watch was specially made for her, it will be Vinson's birthday in a few days, she believed that he will definitely enjoy this gift!

Therefore, she was determined to get this watch!

"Three million five hundred thousand!" Number 60, this gentleman, offered three million and five hundred thousand. Three million five hundred thousand going once … "

It was unbelievable that a watch was auctioned at such a high price. Even the chief auctioneer was secretly astonished. There were already quite a few people in the crowd who were looking at Number 60 with envious and jealous gazes.

Number 60 was a middle-aged man. Seeing that this rare treasure was about to fall into his hands, he couldn't help but feel elated.

"Five million!"

Just when everyone thought that this watch would end up as the middle-aged man's, a clear voice interrupted everyone's reverie.

The auction suddenly became quiet, and many people looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a shocking face. Gu An Xia's red lips slightly opened, and nodded towards the middle-aged man sitting not far from her: "Apologies, I'll take this watch!"

The middle-aged man was so angry that he felt like having a heart attack. Yet, he couldn't lose his temper in this kind of situation, and could only sit in his seat dejectedly with a red face.

After a moment of excitement, the auctioneer finally calmed down, "This Miss No. 32 made a bid of 5 million, is there anyone else higher than that price?"

"Five million going once, five million going twice, five million going thrice! Congratulations to the young miss, Number 32, for obtaining this precious collection! "

A firm command!

Twenty minutes later, an elegant and refined box fell into Gu An Xia's hands.

"Ding ling ling …."

Just as he walked out of the auction house, Gu An Xia's phone started to ring crazily. Looking at the caller ID, Gu An Xia frowned.

"Uncle?" How come you're free to call me? "

"An Xia …"

The voice on the other end of the phone was choked with emotions and unspeakable sorrow, which made Gu An Xia even more baffled. Her uncle was not someone who could easily cry, what was going on?

Immediately, Gu An Xia's voice became more serious and cold, "What happened?"

"Your mother, she just left, in a car accident …"

The phone suddenly fell from Gu An Xia's hands. A few words caused Gu An Xia to completely understand the cause and effect of the situation, and she immediately felt a roaring sound in her ears, her vision turning black, and even her normally resolute and decisive steps faltered for a bit.

Boundless pain spread out from the bottom of his heart, causing Gu An Xia to bite tightly onto her lips. Her usually clear and bright eyes were filled with sorrow, as though in the next second she would burst into tears, but in the end, she was endured by Gu An Xia. Only her eyes were slightly red, revealing a hint of weakness.

She took a deep breath and regained her balance. Her voice was a little husky as she said, "Linte, contact the head of the Las Vegas branch and have them prepare a private plane. I need to be on board for home in three hours!"

"Yes, Director Gu!"

The assistant respectfully picked up the phone, carefully returned it to Gu An Xia's slightly trembling hands, and then retreated to the side to contact the plane.

"An Xia, An Xia... Are you there? "

The man on the other end of the line anxiously called out Gu An Xia's name, causing Gu An Xia to reply calmly, "I'm here! "Uncle, I need you to help me take care of my mother's affairs first. Wait for me to come back first!"

"... Good! Don't worry, be careful! "

"Hm!"

An hour later, at a small airport in Las Vegas, Gu An Xia and her assistant boarded the plane successfully under the gaze of the branch manager. When the plane took off, the branch manager wiped the sweat off his forehead and dialed a number.

"Well done, the money I promised you will be remitted to your account later. Happy cooperation!"

… ….

The cloudless sky was wide and blue. A private plane was flying toward the interior of the country. Suddenly, the plane that was steadily flying started to shake violently. The assistant beside him cried out in alarm.

Gu An Xia sat up straight, his sharp eyes looking at the driver in the front row, "What's going on?"

The pilot's face was also filled with panic, "Director Gu, this plane suddenly malfunctioned! All systems are not responding! "

"What should I do? Are we going to die here? " Lin De Jia opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu An Xia in panic.

Gu An Xia did not have the time to think about it, her many years of habit had allowed her to quickly calm down, and she said in a stern voice: "Calm down, where are we now?"

"I don't know, but the navigation system is broken as well!" The pilot's voice began to tremble.

"Find out if there are any parachutes!"

"No!"

Lin Xin Jia started to cry, the fear of death had them unable to calm down, just at this moment, Gu An Xia's phone started to ring.

It's her boyfriend, Vinson!

Gu An Xia was ecstatic, maybe they could still be saved!

"Vinson..."

"Hmm, ah..."

An ambiguous gasp came from the other side of the phone, the familiar voice made Gu An Xia's heart turn cold, his eyes turned red, what is this?

"Elder sister, it's me!"

"Gu An Ran?! How did you get Vinson's number, where's Vinson? "

Gu An Xia's voice was stern and cold. A thought flashed through her mind, making her feel as if her heart had been splashed with oil. She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Let Vinson answer the phone!"
