When Leng Xiaoyao started bidding for it, the price had already reached six million yuan.

Although it wasn't a high price for a half-cut raw jade material, no one knew how big the jade in it was. Therefore, six million yuan was high enough.

When the price reached 6.5 million yuan, no one continued, so Leng Xiaoyao won it this time as well.

When another complete raw jade material with weak magical power was shown, Leng Xiaoyao asked Si Yiqi to bid for it and he won.

When more raw jade materials with weak magical power were shown, Leng Xiaoyao told Jiang Han and Mu Fan to bid for them.

They declined at first, because they felt that they shouldn't take the jade.

Most importantly, Leng Xiaoyao was Li Mochen's friend, while they were Li Mochen's subordinates. They didn't think they were inferior to Leng Xiaoyao, but there was a difference between their status. Therefore, it wouldn't be right if they took gifts from Leng Xiaoyao.

However, Leng Xiaoyao insisted and Li Mochen said they could accept the jade, so they listened and thanked Leng Xiaoyao.

They didn't think of it as alms. Only jealous people would think badly about other people's kindness.

Sadly that wasn't rare. Due to jealousy, people would think that others were showing off instead of helping them. Even if they accepted the kindness, they wouldn't be grateful.

Leng Xiaoyao told Si Yiqi, Jiang Han, and Mu Fan to bid for those raw jade materials, but didn't ask Li Mochen to bid too because she wanted him to bid for a raw jade material with a strong magical power.

Li Mochen understood Leng Xiaoyao's intention, so he didn't feel unhappy when she told Si Yiqi and the others to bid first. Instead, he was very pleased because he felt that Leng Xiaoyao treated him differently.

Although he didn't care much about a piece of jade, he cared about Leng Xiaoyao's feelings for him.

"Miss Leng, are you keeping the best raw jade material for Mochen by asking us to bid before him?" Si Yiqi joked. Whether or not it was the truth, he didn't feel upset about it. After all, he had no position to be mad at her.

It was already very nice of Leng Xiaoyao to share the jade with them. Her kindness was priceless.

"Yes!" Leng Xiaoyao directly admitted it.

Si Yiqi gave Li Mochen a meaningful glance, then said, "You treat Mochen very differently."

Hearing that, Jiang Han and Mu Fan focused on Leng Xiaoyao. They wanted to know how she would reply to that.

Li Mochen understood the reason why Leng Xiaoyao did that, so he wasn't curious about her answer.

"I met Brother Mochen earlier than you! Because of him, I was able to meet you. In addition, Brother Mochen and I have been through life and death experiences together. When we encountered a car explosion last time, we put out the fire and rescued people together. Yesterday, we went out to deal with enemies. So, our relationship is indeed different, but it's not what you think. Please don't think too much about it," Leng Xiaoyao said.

She didn't treat Li Mochen differently just because of that, but she couldn't tell them everything.

"Alright!" Although Si Yiqi felt this explanation wasn't persuasive, he stopped talking about it since she was unwilling to say more.

Jiang Han and Mu Fan had the same feeling. They felt Leng Xiaoyao's relationship with Li Mochen wasn't so simple. In their eyes, Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen were closer than friends, but not a couple yet.

The auction began at 10 am and was over at 12 pm. It lasted for two hours, but only eighteen raw jade materials were sold. Thirty-two were left for the afternoon auction.

The afternoon auction began at 2 pm. No one was sure when it would be over. They wouldn't finish until all the raw jade materials were sold.

Anyway, eighteen raw jade materials were sold within two hours in the morning, so the auction should be over before 6 pm.

Among the eighteen raw jade materials, only three had average jade, which were bought by Si Yiqi, Jiang Han, and Mu Fan under Leng Xiaoyao's guidance.

Four had strong magical power, including three half-cut raw jade materials and one complete raw jade material. Leng Xiaoyao bought the three half-cut raw jade materials, while Li Mochen bought the complete raw jade material.

After the auction was over, they went to pay the bill and collect the raw jade materials they bought.

Once the morning auction was over, they went to have lunch.

Leng Xiaoyao and the others went to a distant restaurant for lunch because there would be fewer people and the dishes would be placed on the table faster.

Mu Yiyang called them right after the morning auction was over. He was done and wanted to meet them.

Li Mochen told Mu Yiyang where they were and told him to come now.

Shortly after Li Mochen and the others arrived at the restaurant and were about to order, Mu Yiyang came.

Mu Yiyang came alone. The suspects were taken back to the capital city by his subordinates.

They decided to go back tomorrow morning. After the auction was over tonight, they would stay in City Yun for the night.

"Xiaoyao, what did you get in the morning?" Upon seeing Li Mochen and the others, Mu Yiyang asked Leng Xiaoyao. He didn't even exchange greetings with Li Mochen.

Li Mochen was slightly displeased, not because Mu Yiyang didn't greet him, but because Mu Yiyang was too excited when he saw Leng Xiaoyao.

Mu Yiyang had no special feelings for Leng Xiaoyao. He was simply excited to see her because she was extremely excellent.

Even if he had special feelings for Leng Xiaoyao, he would destroy them at an early stage due to Leng Xiaoyao's relationship with Li Mochen.

Although they said that they were just friends, other people didn't think so.

Whether Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen were just friends or not, as Li Mochen's friend, they wouldn't have inappropriate ideas about the girl Li Mochen was close to.

"Of course we got the best," Leng Xiaoyao said proudly.

"Sure, sure. Xiaoyao, you're so skilled, you must have gotten the best." Mu Yiyang agreed at once. It seemed that he tried to please Leng Xiaoyao.

"Let's order the food!" Li Mochen handed a menu to Leng Xiaoyao, interrupting her conversation with Mu Yiyang, but he didn't show any displeasure on his face.

"Great." Leng Xiaoyao took the menu and ordered her favorites.
