On the yacht, An Xi Leng arranged for Wen Yan to go to the lounge before busying herself again.
The lounges on this yacht were exceptionally luxurious, with mahogany leather seats, elegant wine glasses, the sound of the sea roaring outside, and a faint scent of saltwater in the air.
Angela was happily eating fish cubes on the table.
"Eat slowly, you don't look like you're on a hunger strike at all..."
Hearing Wen Yan's words, Angela looked at her with her big, dark, bright eyes, licked her hand, and wagged her tail non-stop to show her good mood.
So cute!
Wen Yan rubbed its head, and Angela looked like she was enjoying it.
She couldn't help but wonder if animals really liked her that much.
"So cute, I wish it were mine..."
Angela seemed to understand her words and wagged its tail even more enthusiastically.
Wen Yan looked around.
She was here to observe the staff's work.
"Jiji, you eat first, I'll go out and take a look," Wen Yan said.
"Meow meow meow!"
Seeing Wen Yan about to leave, Angela immediately followed.
She was inseparable! Wen Yan had to pick up Angela and say to her, "I'll take you with me, but you have to be good and not run around!"
Angela meowed in agreement.
After walking around the ship, Wen Yan saw many distinguished guests chatting in small groups.
Waiters came and went, serving drinks.
They were dressed elegantly and attractively, but their movements were restricted.
As Wen Yan walked, the crowd thinned out.
There were almost all private rooms here, and the corridors were long and dim.
Wen Yan suddenly felt a sense of pressure. The next moment, her mouth and nose were roughly covered, and a man's cold voice came from behind: "Finally found you, you damned woman!"
She had no time to speak before her consciousness plunged into darkness.
When she woke up, she found herself seemingly inside a giant glass bottle.
Her clothes were scant, barely covering her vital parts.
Wen Yan's eyes widened, and she immediately began to bang on the glass bottle.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
Soon, someone entered.
"Boss, we've brought the person back," one person said submissively to the man beside him.
The man glanced at Wen Yan, his expression changing: "Idiot! It's not her!" m..oΓg
Wen Yan clutched at him like a lifeline: "Yes, it's not me, hurry up and let me out!"
"But the auction is about to start, there's no time," the subordinate said with difficulty.
If those big shots were displeased...
That would be truly disastrous.
The man knew this well and cursed, "You're so stupid, you can't even handle such a small matter. We can only do this now. It's fine."
This woman had a graceful figure and was also top-tier in terms of looks, so she could probably fool them.
The man turned and left.
Wen Yan's eyes instantly filled with despair.
What had she just heard?
An auction?
Did such organizations still exist?
"You let me out! What you're doing is illegal. My family is still here, and if I disappear, they'll definitely call the police!" Wen Yan shouted, continuously banging on the glass bottle.
The subordinate walked over, "I advise you not to waste your breath. Use this time to rest well. We'll give your family some compensation!"
"You're treating human lives like grass! Let me out!" Wen Yan said angrily.
The subordinate, however, directly picked up a black cloth from the side and covered it.
Instantly, Wen Yan's world was filled with darkness.
She kept yelling and banging, her voice hoarse, but no one paid her any attention.
Sitting in the glass bottle, she felt cold all over.
She had only seen such things on the news, but she never expected that one day it would happen to her in reality!
No, she couldn't give up. She had to find a chance to escape.
Wen Yan stopped shouting and making a fuss, conserving her energy and waiting for an opportunity.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside. Wen Yan's ears perked up, and then she was lifted.
They were probably taking her to the auction.
As expected, after she was put down, she heard a loud voice:
"Next, we have the final item for our auction."
"Starting bid, one million!"
The audience immediately erupted in a clamor.
The starting bid was a million.
And they couldn't even see what it was.
"Host, what exactly is this?"
"Yes, at least let us all see it!"
There were about dozens of people sitting in the audience, but they were all expensively dressed, wearing masks, and carried themselves with an air of distinction.
Auctions like this usually dealt with illicit items, and those who could attend were basically the top figures in Haicheng.
A million was not an amount they couldn't afford. But they wanted to see what it was.
The host smiled, "I believe it will absolutely not disappoint you. You all know the Spirit Goddess, right!"
The audience was in an uproar.
"You mean that Spirit Goddess who was all over the internet?"
"I heard she made a lot of money from rich men with her looks and figure, and then disappeared."
Women who were beautiful, had perfect figures, and possessed a wild nature were the most exciting.
Everyone immediately became excited.
"I bid two million!"
"I bid four million!"
"Are you all crazy? Five and a half million!"
In the central area of the seating, Lu Chen glanced at the man beside him. The man wearing a silver mask had an extremely cold gaze.
But he showed no interest in this.
These rich people, with too much money, naturally developed some quirks. Being able to buy a beauty to play with was also a form of capital for showing off, hence the escalating bids.
The host was also excited, "Seven million! Are there any higher bids?"
It had actually soared to seven million!
Fewer people were bidding.
After all, a woman, no matter how beautiful, was still just a woman.
For seven million, how many women could they buy? They weren't lacking this one.
In the silence, the glass bottle covered with the black cloth suddenly began to shake.
It fell from above with a crash!
Wen Yan put all her strength into this collision. The glass bottle rolled down the stairs, and she sustained several bruises.
But it was clear that this glass bottle was specially made, as it didn't shatter even after such an impact!
However, the black cloth on top fell off.
A woman with a fair, graceful figure and delicate, refined features came into everyone's view.
"Huh, is this woman the Spirit Goddess?"
"She doesn't look much like it. But this woman was always cunning and could disguise herself."
"Her face and figure are quite worth it!"
Everyone discussed amongst themselves.
Lu Chen's eyes changed. Looking at the man beside him, the man's violent aura instantly exploded outwards.
His heart tightened.
It's over.
Why was Madam here?
Hearing the discussions, Wen Yan finally saw the scene of the auction clearly. The hall was decorated in bright red, and the people sitting were all wealthy and influential, wearing masks. Their gazes towards her were like those of predators looking at prey.
She shouted for help, "Please save me, I'm not the Spirit Goddess, I'm just an innocent person!"
The host immediately looked at the waiter. The waiter quickly came over and righted the glass bottle, covering it with the black cloth again. This time, however, Wen Yan kept crashing against it. She knew that if she didn't seek help now, she would never have another chance.
"Please, everyone, save me! I'm really not the Spirit Goddess!"
