She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1445 - 1515: Christmas Auction

”Who said that?” Xu Qigang asked coldly.

”Uh, uh...” Chen Yingjie was at a loss for words, secretly thinking he’s doomed, absolutely doomed!

”A mission is a mission, who said anything about rescuing my wife?” Xu Qigang rebuked loudly.

”Yes, Commander.” The comrades, with their heads down, immediately looked like defeated roosters.

But Xu Qigang’s next words made everyone smile again. ”Even if my wife needs rescuing, that’s my business, what does it have to do with you all?”

”Commander, it does matter, it matters a lot.”

”Everyone, attention!”

At the command, everyone immediately put away their smiles and stood solemnly.

”Orderly boarding, begin.”

”Yes!”

They were all the elite of the elite, and when things got serious, they exuded an imposing presence, their spirits high like the most experienced hunters in the jungle, always ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

After everyone boarded the plane, Su Hai came late with Sun Gan and two diplomats.

”Hello, Commander Xu.” The two diplomats greeted Xu Qigang excitedly upon seeing him.

Xu Qigang nodded slightly, then turned to Su Hai, saying, ”Vice Chairman Su, please board!”

”Alright!”

Across the ocean, at Feng Manor. In the early morning, Mr. Feng was strolling in the garden, with Housekeeper Xing following respectfully, listening intently to his business advice.

It’s three days until Christmas, the most grandiose holiday in Western countries. The Feng Family plans to hold a grand auction on Christmas Day, attended by world-renowned elites and aristocrats. This level of auction is only held once every three years, and each time, the items up for bid are incredibly valuable and attract global attention. Receiving an invitation is an honor for many elite aristocrats.

”Have all the invitations been sent out?” Mr. Feng asked.

”They’ve all been sent. Oh, and this year, the Duke of Westminster from England might also attend.”

Mr. Feng pondered briefly and slowly said, ”That’s a true aristocrat, his collection is said to rival the British Museum, would he be interested in our modest event?”

”His housekeeper has already contacted us, and they are in discussions about security issues, so it should be accurate.”

”Don’t you think it’s quite sudden?” Mr. Feng’s keen intuition was always impressive; when he heard that the Duke of Westminster was coming, he knew something was up.

”Yes, sir.” Housekeeper Xing nodded, ”The English have always looked down on Y country people. The Duke’s personal visit has alarmed half of Y country.”

”Well, it’s still a good thing if he personally attends our auction.” Mr. Feng decided not to dwell on it and instead asked, ”What about Ningning? Didn’t you say she was going to visit me? Why hasn’t she come yet?”

Housekeeper Xing was also puzzled. When they sent Miss Sheng Ning back, she clearly said she would come, and it seemed Mr. Feng’s strategy was working since Miss Sheng Ning intended to move to the estate.

”I’ll go ask again!”

”This girl must have encountered some expert guidance, otherwise she wouldn’t become so impatient.” Mr. Feng showed an intriguing smile, ”Interesting, very interesting. The more patient she is, the more determined I am to make her come back willingly.”

He was satisfied with everything about Ningning, except her impatience. The two had always been secretly competing, and he wanted Ningning to be the first to lose patience and come to him.

Whoever loses patience first loses, and then the initiative would be in his hands.
