"What do you mean by dying mysteriously?" Ye Wei asked, puzzled.
"Because His Highness Yu's pharmaceutical technology is too high and hidden too deeply, many people in the medical community are curious about his identity, so many people went to investigate him. A few people died of strange diseases, such as the Africa Plague, a terrible infectious disease.
"But these people did not go to Africa. They got sick mysteriously and it was only discovered that it was this diseases after they'd died. The only fortunate thing was that they all died alone at home and did not infect anyone else. And the places where they lived were all sealed."
Ye Wei was so shocked that her mouth drooped open. That kind of plague was too terrifying. Those who got it wouldn't live for more than three days. But why would that kind of virus be used?
"Thank you, Senior. I'll be careful," she said.
She wouldn't let herself die, and she definitely wouldn't let Gong Mochen die.

When Qin Sheng finished school, she saw Nie Feng, who had brought her a gown.
"Miss Qin, the president asked me to bring this to you," Nie Feng said respectfully.
"Am I going to attend the banquet?" Qin Sheng was a little surprised.
"It's an auction, so it's considered a banquet. After the auction, there will be a banquet. Here are three pieces. The president asked you to pick them." Nie Feng asked his subordinate to show Qin Sheng the clothes.
The auction was today...
Qin Sheng suddenly remembered the brochure she read yesterday. It seemed that the auction would be held today. The pink diamond necklace appeared in her mind. Although she couldn't buy it, it was good to go and have a look!
She poked Chu Xia, who was next to her. "Come with me."
"Me? I'm not suitable, am?" Chu Xia was stunned.
"What's not suitable? You're my friend. Let's go together. There are three evening gowns. You can wear the one I don't," Qin Sheng said.
Of the three evening gowns, she chose a pink one for herself and a light green one for Chu Xia.
Both evening gowns were short. The hem of the skirt was shaggy and reached the knees.
Qin Sheng had called Chu Xia because she wanted to find a good man for her friend at the auction. She didn't believe that there wouldn't be a good man to marry Chu Xia. She would find one who was a good character, she was sure.
After the two girls changed their clothes, Nie Feng drove them to the hotel where the auction was taking place.
Qin Sheng saw three jewelry boxes in the car, which matched the three evening gowns.
Her hair clip was inlaid with pink crystals, which formed the pattern of cherry blossoms. The strings of crystals made Qin Sheng look even more pink. Chu Xia's was green crystal, and her style was lotus leaf, which suited her very well.
When the two girls came to the lobby of the hotel, they attracted the eyes of all the boys. The two girls were both innocent and charming. At such a young age, these successful men couldn't look away.
"Chu Xia looks pretty good! She looks like a woman after dressing up!" Li Ang sat on the sofa like a villain, his eyes looking at the girls who'd walked in.
"Pfft, what do you mean she looks like a woman? Is she not a woman already?" Sikong Jue was a little depressed.
He admitted that the girl was usually more manly than a man... But damn, did she look good tonight.
"Have you really thought it through? I saw Qin Sheng introducing a boy to Chu Xia. If you don't want her, it doesn't mean that no one else wants her. Oh my, that was fast. Look, Chu Xia is sitting with that man," Li Ang said.
"No. If you're interested, I'll let you have her," Sikong Jue said.
"No matter how good she looks, she's not as good as my wife. Qin Sheng is so good." Li Ang's eyes never left Qin Sheng.
"Ha! Your wife? Seriously?" Sikong Jue teased Li Ang. He couldn't stand Li Ang showing off.
Li Ang's lips twitched. "I can marry whoever I want. What do you care?"
"Of course I don't care, but your future wife is now by someone else's side. She's someone else's girl!" Sikong Jue jested.
Li Ang looked over and saw Qin Sheng beside Gong Mochen. He didn't know what she was saying, but she was smiling like a cherry blossom.
"Have you thought about what jewelry you want?" Gong Mochen asked.
"No, it's all too expensive. Erm, but how about these earrings? I think they'll accompany my evening dress well." Qin Sheng pointed at a pair of pink diamond earrings in the album.
The starting price was several hundred thousand, and it was estimated to sell for over a million, but it was the cheapest one here.
Qin Zixian walked over in a golden evening dress and deliberately got close to the man sitting on the sofa.
"Third Brother, Yunting and Yan Fei are both here. What do you think?" she asked.
Qin Sheng looked up and saw Qin Zixian's figure. She lowered her head to look at herself. What a difference!
'Will my uncle be lured away?' she secretly thought.
"Yungting has nothing to do with the Qin family," said Gong Mochen.
Qin Zixian stood up unhappily. The man's face was expressionless, as though he didn't see anything.
However, she understood the man's meaning. Qin Yunting was not a member of the Qin family any longer, so they didn't need to care about where Qin Yunting was.
"I know she's not. Err, a few of our clients want to come over to toast. Do you want to meet them?" she continued to ask for instructions.
Everyone knew Gong Mochen's rules. Without his consent, no one could privately chat with him.
"Today is an auction, not a business meeting. I don't want to be disturbed," Gong Mochen said coldly.
Qin Zixian pursed her lips. "Okay, I'll go and deal with it."
Qin Sheng's eyes were locked on Qin Zixian.
"What do you want to eat? I'll get Nie Feng to get it," Gong Mochen asked.
It wasn't time for the banquet yet. There was no food, but there were desserts and fruits set out.
"Papaya, please get me a papaya," Qin Sheng said with ambition. She wouldn't let Qin Zixian show her up! Her uncle was hers. She needed to mark her territory.
Nie Feng obediently went to get the papaya.
Qin Sheng ate the papaya in big mouthfuls. She looked at Qin Yunting and Yan Fei, who walked in with glittering jewelry. She was a little surprised by their clothes. The jewelry they wore must've cost hundreds of thousands. How could they have so much money?
What surprised her even more was that Ye Wei and Ha Siqi came. She could understand why Ha Siqi was there. After all, the Ha family was a big family, but what the hell was Ye Wei doing here?
Ye Wei walked to Gong Mochen's side as soon as she came in. "President Gong, it's a coincidence that we meet again."
Gong mochen nodded slightly. "Did you come by yourself?"
"Yes, I heard that there was an auction here, so I came to see it," Ye Wei said.
"Take a seat. The auction will start soon," Gong Mochen said.
Ye Wei Sat on the sofa beside Gong Mochen. She looked over at Sikong Jue and Li Ang who weren't far away.
How could she make Sikong Jue expose his identity as His Highness Yu?
She frowned and reached into her purse...
