The annual auction of the GU Corporation was filled to the brim. The wealthy families present had all offered their treasures, one after another, and the auction venue's environment was solemn.
The final treasure was an extremely good-looking jade bracelet. Immediately, a wealthy merchant in the audience offered a price of 100 million.
"100 million, going once!"
Everyone present knew the value of the bracelet. How could they not see it?
"I bid 150 million!" someone immediately shouted.
"I bid 200 million!"
The host cleared his throat, "200 million, going once! 200 million, going twice!"
The crowd was silent for a few seconds. For a moment, no one dared to raise the price.
"500 million! I want it!" a steady voice came from the crowd.
The man in a suit seemed to have an extraordinary status. He had raised the price several times over.
The crowd was in an uproar. No one dared to offer a higher price. At this moment, in the VIP seat of the auction, Gu Chenge stared at the jade bracelet on the stage, a deep look in his eyes. His thin lips curled up coldly.
"One billion."
"One- One billion? Did I hear incorrectly?"
"This bracelet can actually fetch a price of one billion?! It's simply unbelievable!"
"The most valuable treasure in the auction is only 500 million, not to mention it's a treasure from ancient times. Such a bracelet can actually fetch a price of one billion?!"
Qiao Ran was also shocked by the price that Gu Chenge had stated. However, the CEO had been looking for that woman for so many years. It was obvious how important she was to Gu. After five years, a mere 1 billion yuan was not much!
After the auction ended, Gu Chenge stood outside the french window. The expression on the side of his face was hard to fathom. His voice was deep and hoarse as he ordered, "Go and find the owner of the bracelet. I want to see her."
It would be obvious at first sight whether the owner of the bracelet was the woman from six years ago. Qiao Ran rushed to the back of the auction and saw the two children standing on the auction stage.
"Brother, is the man who just bid one billion yuan Master Gu?"
Cheng Liang looked calm as if he was waiting for something.
"Yes, it's him."
San Bao still didn't understand why Master Gu would spend so much money to buy his mother's jade bracelet. As he tilted his head to think, his arm was grabbed tightly by a big hand.
"Hey! What do you want to do?"Cheng Mo glared fiercely at the bodyguard.
At this moment, Qiao Ran spoke up, "Our CEO wants to meet the owner of this bracelet. Please come with us."
"Why should we go with you!" Cheng Mo looked at the tall and unfamiliar bodyguard in front of him warily, questioning loudly. Cheng Liang held his hand without batting an eyelid and turned to look at Qiao Ran, "We can go with you, but you have to let us go."
"Yes! We can leave on our own!"Such a firm tone and extraordinary courage were really impressive. Qiao Ran waved his hand, "Let them go. No matter where your bracelets came from, I have to remind you that President Gu is not someone two kids can afford to offend."
Cheng Liang held his brother's hand and glanced at Qiao Ran indifferently, then walked straight forward.
In the President's office.
"President Gu, I brought the person, but..."
Cold sweat appeared on Qiao Ran's forehead. He wanted to say something, but stopped.
Gu Chenge immediately stopped his work and looked up at the door. There was a trace of undetectable nervousness on his face.
"But what?"
"The owner of this bracelet is not a woman, but two five-year-old children."
Qiao Ran took a deep breath, not even daring to look into Gu Chenge's eyes. The man's expression instantly became gloomy and terrifying as he said coldly, "Bring them in!"
"Yes."
Qiao Ran carefully opened the office door and let Cheng Liang and Cheng Mo walk in. Cheng Liang walked in front of Gu Chenge generously and naturally, "May I ask why President Gu is looking for us?"
The moment Gu Chenge saw Cheng Liang, the expression on his face changed even more subtly. He couldn't help but sneer. It was actually this child again!
