"Are you asleep?" Ling Chen sat on the sofa for a short while before he was woken up by the sound of his cell phone ringing.

Annoyed, he took the phone and glanced at it. However, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm asleep."

Ling Chen's slender fingers wrote a string of characters on the keyboard, and waited for Jane Fan's answer.

Her never took the initiative to greet him, causing his heart to feel warm. Even his seriously injured leg seemed to be a lot better now, and he could walk as if he was flying very quickly.

Jane Fan sat in the dining room, watching the people coming and going, frowning.

Ever since she returned with Ling Chen, she never saw Yan Shaotian again. She asked the front desk, and the front desk said that they didn't know where he was.

As for Jian Fan, he had also been to Yan Shaotian's room. Other than a "Sis, I'll be fine" note, there was nothing else.

His luggage and things were still there, but his people seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Jane Fan drove around Queen's Town and kept calling him, but couldn't get through to Yan Shaotian.

"Oh." Jane Fan replied with one word. He wanted to add something, but after some consideration, he didn't write anything.

Ling Chen thought that Jane Fan would not reply, or say something indirectly, but when he saw that single character, he was stunned.

What does that mean? Was her mood disappointed or indifferent? What did she want to do while he was asleep? Or was there something she wanted to talk to him about?

A text message dispersed Ling Chen's pajamas. He put on his clothes, picked up his phone, and directly dialed Jane Fan's number.

At that time, while she was drinking coffee, she saw his phone. Her hand was shaking, and her clothes were soaked with coffee.

"Miss, I'll take you to change it." The waiter came over, extremely attentive.

"No need." Jane Fan shook his head and asked for some napkins from her. He went to the bathroom to wipe away the stains on his clothes.

She had forgotten about her cellphone on the table.

Ling Chen went downstairs and looked at the phone on the table. He frowned, "Where is Miss Jane?"

"She went to the bathroom."

"Why is her cell phone here?"

"She forgot."

"Alright, you can leave now." Ling Chen picked up Jian Fan's phone, and looked at the record and frowned. Yan Shaotian was indeed a strong opponent, but he had called Yan Shaotian 23 times the moment he returned. He was truly hardworking.

"Didn't you sleep?" When Jian Fan walked out of the bathroom, he saw that Ling Chen had an unhappy look on his face.

"Yes." "He's asleep." Ling Chen answered with an absent-minded look.

Jian Fan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he smiled and looked at the table.

Ling Chen knew what she was looking for and immediately handed her phone over.

Jian Fan took it and told him about Yan Shaotian's disappearance.

"You think he was kidnapped?" Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, but he could not see the light in them.

Jane Fan nodded.

"Alright, I'll help you find it." Ling Chen took out his phone and sent a message. Then, he looked at Jian Fan with a burning gaze.

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

he asked, like an ordinary man inviting a woman he loved.

"I'm your secretary." Jane Fan did not answer, but Ling Chen understood what she meant.

As long as he had time, she had to have time.

It was something a secretary had to do, and it was a responsibility a policeman couldn't ignore.

"Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a jewelry auction. I'll have the clothes ready for you. "

"Alright." "Do I need to protect your companion?"

"Yes." Ling Chen nodded. He needed Jian Fan to take care of him, and he needed her to be there to help him with something.

The time for the Jewelry Auction soon arrived. On the afternoon of the second day, Jian Fan was brought out of his room by Ling Chen.

At this moment, he was sitting at the auction venue, looking at his uncomfortable clothes. Jian Fan's gaze was cold as he looked at Ling Chen.

Didn't they say that they needed to protect his girlfriend? Why did he invite himself to be his companion?

"I don't like European beauties." Ling Chen could feel her hostility and replied lightly, "Moreover, with you by my side, no one will think that I'm a threat."

New Zealand has a lot of wealthy merchants. The jewellery auction was famous for raising money to help poor areas, but in reality, it was a place where the upper class was richer than the upper class. "Here, they are not only competing in terms of things, but also people. Compared to the beauty beside them, who would be willing to sacrifice a thousand gold to become a beauty?

Ling Chen had only brought Jian Fan here to comply with the customs and reduce the people's defenses.

Jian Fan was clear on this point, so she cooperated with Ling Chen until the jewelry auction started.

"Jewelry Auction officially begins." The host walked up the stage in an enchanting manner. His sweet voice made all of the big bosses come back to their senses.

Jewelry Auction House's items were not common goods. Just a single item was enough for people to praise them in high society for a long time.

As such, the first ten items were sold without any suspense. In forty minutes, they were all sold off.

The eleventh, the last, was a ring, an ancient ring. The style of the Middle Ages and its material were not to be disliked, and the lack of splendor made the wealthy merchants lack interest. However, it was this item that had attracted both Ling Chen's and Jian Fan's attention.

As the final product, it didn't seem to be of high quality, but no one was willing to let go of it.

"The starting price for this item is one dollar." The host introduced them, his face full of embarrassment.

She remembered, it wasn't this thing, why did it become like this?

Looking at the reaction from below the stage, she felt that this item was basically the failure of this auction and could not be sold.

"…" Silence, a long silence.

The silence in the audience made the host want to run away.

"Ten thousand." A voice suddenly rang out, saving the host from the awkward situation. She raised her head, looked at the handsome eastern man, and nodded gratefully.

"Ten thousand dollars once."

"Ten thousand dollars twice."

"Ten thousand dollars three times. "Deal." The master of ceremonies dropped his hammer, and the ring ended up in Ling Chen's pocket for ten thousand dollars. Unlike the rich merchants who were in a hurry to bring the items back to the auction, Ling Chen entrusted the ring to the organizer.

Walking out of the auction house, the night sky was filled with stars.

It was a snowy night, full of stars. It was a very beautiful scene.

"Xiaofan, marry me!" As if by magic, Ling Chen took out a small box wrapped in flannel from his pocket.

The small box opened in a corner, revealing a dazzling light.

"I'm busy. "CEO" Jian Fan curled his lips, his eyes filled with curiosity towards the ring Ling Chen had taken.

That ring was very familiar to her, but she could not remember where she had seen it before.

At the backstage of the auction, the auctioneer had just ordered someone to place the ring in the safe, when the auctioneer brought a new product over to her.

"Is the auction over? This is only a dollar worth of items. " The person in charge was holding a modified crown in his hand. Any bride would be as beautiful as a fairy. As for its material, color, texture, it was well-known that this was a good item.

No one who would waste such a treasure would sell it for a dollar. How could the person in charge sell it for one dollar?

Seeing the manager's obvious affirmation in his eyes, the host hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The auction has ended. The first ten items have all been sold at a high price. The last one was sold for ten thousand dollars. "

The host handed the cell phone to the person in charge. The person in charge's face suddenly changed. This thing, this thing couldn't be sold!

"Who bought it? Did you leave your contact details and address? " The person in charge grabbed the host's arm.

The host shook his head. But before he could say anything, the person in charge hastily left.

Knowing that the person in charge would return soon, the host didn't say anything. He changed his clothes and left the office.

Ling Chen brought Jane Fan and looked at the sky for a while, then got the driver to drive the two back to the hotel.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, as soon as Jane Fan turned on the TV, she saw the news about the host's corpse last night on the street.

"CEO, that ring, we're useless." The man in black lowered his head.

"I'm fine." Ling Chen understood. He placed the ring there to keep it, and naturally knew what would happen.

However, he did not expect that person to be so vicious, so capable, and actually be able to touch New Zealand's largest underworld organization.

"Where's Yan Shaotian?" It has already been a day since he sent someone to investigate, so there should be news about him no matter what.

"I can't find his whereabouts either. There is proof that he left this place yesterday and went to play in the neighborhood. "

"Yes." Ling Chen nodded his head, this brat had given him and Jian Fan more time to spend together.

"Continue to track him down until he returns safely."

"Yes, CEO!"

The man in black accepted the order and left. Ling Chen went to the bathroom to take a bath.

When Jian Fan finished watching the television, he immediately knocked on Ling Chen's door. Seeing the man wrapped in a bath towel standing at the door, she frowned and blushed a little.

"Wife, I just wanted to take a bath, do you want to take a shower with me?" Ling Chen wrapped a towel around his lower body, revealing only his skinny upper body.

Six pieces of abs, an inverted triangle, and a golden split point. His perfect figure instantly caused Jian Fan's face to redden.

"I'll wait for you outside." Jane Fan glanced at him, then sat down on the sofa and switched on the TV.

When Ling Chen came out after changing his clothes, she was looking at the news of the emcee's corpse on the street.

"Looks like the security here isn't good. I have to think about whether or not I should go out. " Ling Chen moved closer to Jian Fan, who moved to the side. He then lazily sat on the sofa and watched the TV.

"Indeed, it's not good!" Jane Fan frowned. She had the feeling that the host's death was not a coincidence.

However, she didn't know what it was. Perhaps, she didn't need to explain it clearly.

Seeing Ling Chen watching TV leisurely at the side, Jian Fan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "We can take back the ring that exists over there."

"Right." Ling Chen nodded his head, yes, he could take it back, but at that time, it would be hard to say if it was real or fake.

"Then, I'll go get it." That ring had tortured her so much that she couldn't sleep soundly for an entire night. No matter what, she had to bring that ring over.

"No need. Just have them bring it over. " Ling Chen shook his head and made the call.

Twenty minutes later, a silver Rolls-Royce stopped outside the restaurant he had arranged for. A tall, thin, white man walked in.

"You must be Mister Ling, who bought the ring, right?" The Caucasian man walked around the dining room, walking straight to Ling Chen and Jane Fan, who were drinking coffee.

"Right." Ling Chen nodded, "Did you bring the ring?"

"This, I've brought." The man hesitated for a while before taking out an item from his clothes. It was an exquisite box, about twenty times bigger than the ring box.

Ling Chen frowned. He knew that it was impossible for a man to bring a ring, but he did not expect that a man would bring something else.

"This is our apology. After the ring is found, we will redeem it. " The man opened the box and an improved version of the crown appeared before Jian Fan. This crown was very exquisite, even more exquisite than the first ten items of the auction. However, there were some areas that were much worse than the ring.

"Alright." Ling Chen did not refuse and allowed Jian Fan to keep the crown. He then stood up, walked the man to the carriage, and watched him leave.
