In the mysterious room backstage, the mysterious man who had been wearing a black mask on his face was quietly looking at the electronic screen in the room. After seeing the final transaction price, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, for him, as long as he can ensure that the person who gets the news is a Chinese who has no ulterior motives, it doesn't matter who he tells.

The most fundamental reason why he wanted to negotiate for a higher price was because of his partners who sacrificed themselves for this information.

A team of twenty people went to another country to confirm the authenticity of the news, but in the end, only two people, including him, returned home.

Although the partner who returned to China with him survived the journey, he was doomed to be unable to return to the original team for the rest of his life due to high-level paraplegia, so he had to withdraw from the team early.

He has never been a greedy person. He just hoped to get more subsidies for the families of those sacrificed comrades. It was he who vowed to bring them overseas, but he also did not fulfill his promise to bring them back to China.

The mysterious man stretched out his hand, quietly wiped the corners of his slightly moist eyes, tried to calm himself down, and pressed a button next to him.

Not long after, someone pushed the door open. After the man leaned over, the mysterious man whispered a few words to him. After hearing these words, the man turned around and walked out of the door without staying in the room.

In the Yunyin Hall, Yan Xuhan had just announced that Xu Yiyu had obtained this hard-earned information at a sky-high price of 450 when she received a message from the backstage control center in her headphones.

"Congratulations, VIP No. 6. Please come to the stage, take your seat, and go backstage to meet the mysterious seller."

Yan Xuhan digested the news from backstage calmly, and loudly invited Xu Yiyu from the audience to come on stage.

A beam of warm yellow light shone on Xu Yiyu the next second. Without being stunned for a second, she walked up to the auction stage gracefully with a mask on. After briefly greeting Yan Xuhan beside her, she sat on the single sofa without changing her expression.

Lu Sanshi seemed to be calmly watching the figure of his fiancée disappearing from the auction table little by little, but the nail of his right thumb had already dug into his palm, and the place where the nail had dug was so red that it was almost bleeding.

Of course he trusted his baby's ability to handle things, but he still couldn't help but worry about her safety, fearing that something unexpected would happen when he was not around.

At the table of the Gu, Wu and Ye families, Wu Nan, Ye Yingqi, Meng Yu, Zhang Qingwan and Gu Yue, who had some interactions with Xu Yiyu before, were all somewhat worried about Xu Yiyu.

As the person who had personally received the mysterious man behind the scenes and welcomed him back to China, Gu Yue knew that there was no problem with that person's background, but he was not sure whether that person could accept the news that it was taken by Xu Yiyu.

Ye Yingqi had experienced Chairman Xu's abilities before, but he had never met the person behind the scenes who had the information, and he was not the one who received that person, so he couldn't be sure whether there would be any conflicts between the two.

Wu Nan and Meng Yu's reactions were much simpler. Meng Yu was simply worried about this sister whom she had just met not long ago, and Wu Nan was simply curious about how Xu Yiyu would negotiate with that person.

When Xu Yiyu came to the auction table after sitting on the single sofa, her vision was dim at first. After her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness, she noticed a staff member walking towards her with a flashlight.

"Miss, please follow me. The man has been waiting for you for a long time."

The staff member holding a flashlight approached Xu Yiyu, and after she stood up, he politely pointed to a place with faint light ahead.

"The road below is not easy to walk on. Please follow me closely and don't trip over the wires or frames."

As if noticing that Xu Yi Yu's clothes were not convenient for him to walk too fast, the staff member walked very slowly while leading the way. He would turn back from time to time to remind Xu Yi Yu where there were obstacles. The guide did his job very carefully.

When Xu Yiyu returned to the light again, nearly three minutes had passed.

Xu Yiyu took a rough look at the chaotic yet orderly layout here and realized that this place should be near the backstage control room.

The staff member who led Xu Yiyu pointed to a door in the corner of the backstage, indicating that was where she needed to go.

"Ms. Xu, my work is over. Please go on your own."

Xu Yiyu was about to thank the staff member, but the other party seemed to have anticipated her action. He took a step back before she could speak, bowed slightly politely, and turned around and left quickly.

Ever since she walked to the backstage, the employees here have been looking at her either openly or pretending to look at her unintentionally, but no one has greeted her. Except for the staff member who just showed her the way, no one has told her the direction to go.

Their every move was so mysterious, there must be a reason, but it was just right, Xu Yiyu was not used to dealing with too many people, so it was just right to let her go alone, and she wouldn't feel constrained.

Xu Yiyu boldly lifted up the hem of her skirt which almost reached the ground, and walked towards the room in the corner with moderate steps under the gaze of everyone.

Many people who saw her movements involuntarily made way for her using the nearest path, so as not to become her "human roadblocks."

I don’t know what kind of magic she has, but among those who have met her in person, except for a few narrow-minded people, there are very few people who hate her.

As the distance to the door got closer and closer, Xu Yiyu's slightly nervous mood gradually calmed down.

By the time she stood in front of the door, her heartbeat had completely returned to its normal frequency, without the slightest abnormal fluctuation.

This door, which no one approached except her, looked like just an ordinary door, just like the thousands of doors she had opened before. There was nothing special about it that could be seen with the naked eye.

Xu Yiyu stood there for a few seconds, put down her hands that were holding up the hem of her skirt, and politely knocked on the door.

There was silence inside the door, and no one responded, as if there was no one inside.

Xu Yiyu knocked on the door a few more times. When there was still no response, he said "Excuse me" loudly and then put his hand on the silver doorknob.

She opened the door easily and it was not locked.

The room was not bright, the yellowish light was just bright enough to see things.

Xu Yiyu walked into the door, closed it gently, and looked at the person who was sitting with his back to him.

On the wall opposite that person was an electronic screen, and the image on the screen was frozen on the final bid she gave.

Apart from the sofa where the man was sitting, there was only a wooden armchair in the room and no other place to sit.

Xu Yiyu calmly sat on the wooden chair, quietly waiting for the person with his back to him to speak first.
