When she finished speaking, she hung up the phone before her manager could reply to her .
Holding her cell phone in her hand, she walked to the bedside and turned around to take a good look at the hotel room that she had already been staying in for a period of time .
In the past, she had never felt lonesome on her own in here .
However, ever since he stepped foot into this room, she felt an unbearable sense of chill every time she returned here alone .
She was exhausted .
After chasing and lingering for so long, he would have been touched by her if he loved her .
Yet, all she could see in him was avoidance and impatience .
Perhaps he was very annoyed with her?
He showed some concern for her only because he had too much to drink and accidentally had a one night stand with her . What he felt toward her was guilt .
He cared about who she went on blind dates with so that he could make sure she picked someone suitable and reliable . It would be easy for him to pass her to another man and not worry about the future implications…
She had made herself look so cheap .
The more he acted this way, the more humiliated she felt .
Walking over to the bar, Shangxin took out a bottle of red wine . Pouring a glass for herself, she finished it in one shot .
Just as she was about to pour another glass of wine, Shangxin felt a sudden surge of nausea .
Putting the glass down, she rushed into the bathroom .
Retch!
The red wine that she drank just a moment ago was emptied into the toilet bowl .
Then, she continued to vomit until she threw up all the contents in her stomach . Finally feeling more alive, Shangxin dropped to the floor next to the toilet bowl, unable to stand up…

Nightfall . The sky was dark .
A low-key black luxury car stopped along the quiet street .
In contrast to the bustling road on the opposite side, this felt like a forgotten world .
"Master Fan, this is the place according to the address we got . " The assistant parked the car and pointed toward a dark parade square .
Looking over from the car, there was not a single person there .
It did not look like a flourishing commercial center .
Hearing the assistant's words, Fan Yu shut his laptop and looked out of the car window .
Taking in the scene before his eyes, his warm gaze lit up slightly .

Pushing the car door open, he stepped out onto the street .
Passing through a quiet walkway, he walked all the way to the public square .
There were only icy winds blowing past the empty public square .
Fan Yu did not feel anxious . Instead, he walked around once to find an entrance in the extreme corner .
Just as he was about to step closer, he discovered that the only entrance had been sealed .
Stopping in his tracks, Fan Yu asked,
"Did you get the address wrong?"
"It should be correct . According to the donor of the ring, he bought the ring because he was dragged to the black market auction venue while he was drunk . At that moment, he thought the design of the ring was very unique and the price was low, so he bought it . Other than this, he did not know anything else," reported the assistant respectfully .

The black market auction venue was not a lawful auction center .
Most of the items came from unknown sources, and it was usually a place for people to sell stolen goods .
That was why people with prominent social status would not wish for anyone to find out that they had bought things from this place before .
From the look of it, they were too late .
The police must have discovered this place and locked it up .
When Fan Yu returned to his car, his handsome face was overcast with worry .
Tan Bengbeng was too tight-lipped to reveal anything .
Yet now, the only clue regarding the Queen's Ring was a dead end…
Fan Yu's eyes narrowed as a streak of light flickered within them . Deep in thought, Fan Yu's long fingers tapped against the car door .
