Chapter 517: Going to C Nation

Chapter 517: Going to C Nation

With a sense of determination, Han Cheng decided to gather information about Nie Qinyu’s whereabouts. The possibility of an encounter with his love rival loomed large, and Han Cheng needed to assess the situation before making a decision about attending the auction in C Nation’s capital city.

After discreet inquiries, Han Cheng received the information he sought. Fortunately, it turned out that Nie Qinyu was on a business trip to A Nation, alleviating the immediate concern of an awkward confrontation.

Learning of Nie Qinyu’s absence, Han Cheng felt a sense of relief wash over him. The hurdle that had held him back was now removed, and he could contemplate attending the auction without the shadow of past tensions.

Finally, Han Cheng drove home. He stepped into the warm embrace of his home, the familiar surroundings offering a sense of solace. Fang Zichen, engaged in a joyful conversation with Chu Xing, looked up when Han Cheng entered.

Han Cheng hugged his wife with a soft smile, "Zichen, there’s something important I need to discuss with you."

Fang Zichen looked at her husband with concern flickering in her eyes as she focused on her husband.

"What is it, Cheng? Is everything okay?"

Han Cheng approached her, taking her hands gently in his, "There’s an auction in C Nation’s capital, and they’ll be selling a 1000-year-old ginseng. It could be beneficial for your health. I think that we should go together."

Fang Zichen’s face turned pale on hearing Han Cheng’s words. The past memories which she had suppressed for the last few years, came haunting to her. The idea of going to C Nation was so repressive to her that even hearing about it made her heart solemn.

Han Cheng was not surprised to witness the change in his wife’s emotions. He gently cupped Fang Zichen’s face and assured her, "Zichen, don’t worry, I am with you and will always be with you. You won’t see anyone that you don’t wish to. It’s my promise to you."

Fang Zichen gazed deep into Han Cheng’s eyes as if assessing the truth behind his words. Her eyes soon softened as Han Cheng’s reassurance sank in. She took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, we will go together."

Chu Xing, eavesdropping on the conversation between Han Cheng and Fang Zichen, felt a sudden shock coursing through her. The unexpected news of their journey to C Nation, combined with the fact that they could meet Qin Yan again, left her grappling with a sense of urgency. As she pondered how to intervene, the realization dawned that preventing their decision wasn’t within her control.

Chu Xing muttered to herself, ’This can’t be happening. How do I stop them? But... They are going to procure the medicine. No matter how much I try, I can’t stop them. In fact, me trying to stop them can lead to a misunderstanding that I don’t want Fang Zichen to recover.’

’However, if they find out about Qin Yan, everything will change. My own position, the delicate balance we’ve maintained—everything is at risk. What if my plans go haywire? What if Qin Yan conducts another DNA test?’

Chu Xing felt that as she couldn’t stop them from leaving, she could accompany the Han couple and prevent them from meeting Qin Yan.

Keeping this in mind, Chu Xing approached the Han couple, "Uncle, aunt, are you going somewhere?"

Han Cheng and Fang Zichen’s attention was immediately diverted towards Chu Xing. While deciding to go to C Nation, they had totally forgotten about Chu Xing. Since, there hadn’t been much time from when Chu Xing joined them, the Han couple was not accustomed to Chu Xing and thus her thought totally skipped from their mind.

Fang Zichen smiled, "Xing’er, we are going to C Nation."

"Oh," Chu Xing appeared hesitant, "Aunt, can I come with you? I don’t want to be alone here."

"But Xing’er, you have just joined your college," Fang Zichen was worried about Chu Xing’s studies, "It wouldn’t be good for you if you take a leave now. You have a lot to catch up."

"That’s true," Chu Xing’s expression was downcast, "I know aunt is thinking about my wellbeing. But what do I do? As soon as I be by myself, my father’s memories come rushing to my mind. I don’t know how to..."

A silent tear fell from Chu Xing’s eye making both Han Cheng and Fang Zichen pity her.

Han Cheng could not think of anything else seeing his best friend’s daughter in this condition so he agreed, "Okay Xing’er, don’t cry. You can come with us."

Chu Xing’s innocent face lit up, "Really?"

"Yes, we won’t leave Xing’er alone here," Fang Zichen also agreed while smiling gently.

Chu Xing was overjoyed, "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt. I will go and start packing immediately."

With that, Chu Xing rushed to her room afraid that if she stayed in front of them, Han Cheng and Fang Zichen might change their decision.

Seeing the little girl happy, a trace of pity crossed across the Han couple’s eyes. Thus, it was finally decided that the three of them would go to C Nation together.

Capital City International Center auction.

Han Cheng, Fang Zichen and Chu Xing arrived at the right time. Since they were from M Nation, not many people knew them. So, they did not have any hindrance in entering the venue and taking their seats.

Soon after they arrived, the MC came up on the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I welcome you to the international exhibition center in the Capital City. Thank you for joining today’s auction sponsored by Belair."

As the MC spoke, Han Cheng realized that most of the people here were after the 1000-year-old ginseng. After all, it was a very rare herb used for saving people’s lives. The people in the capital city did not lack money but many of them had their parents or grandparents who had ill-health. It was no wonder that the ginseng was highly sought after.

Han Cheng’s thoughts were interrupted as MC announced the first auction item.

Fang Zichen patted Chu Xing’s hand, "Good girl. Let me know what you like and I will bid on it."

Chu Xing’s eyes brightened but she remained calm, "I don’t need aunt to spend any more money on me. I don’t want anything."

Fang Zichen grinned at her, "You deserve so much love. Why be so polite to me? The Han family doesn’t lack money."

Though Chu Xing said she didn’t want anything, when she liked the auction item that came out, she expressed how much she adored it. In the end, Fang Zichen successfully bade on everything Chu Xing liked.

Near the end of the auction, the MC organized his speech draft and announced, "Alright, today’s auction has gone on very successfully. Every auction item has gotten a new master. Up next is the final item of today’s auction."

"I’m sure some people have guessed it. That’s right. The last item of the day is 1000-year-old ginseng!"

"1000-year-old ginseng is a legendary medicinal ingredient. These days, it is more than rare due to the hostile environment it naturally grows in. Those who gather this ingredient find themselves in treacherous locations as a result. These days, 1000-year-old ginseng can only be gathered once in few decades. It is known to be able to extend one’s lifespan and effectively strengthen one’s health."

"There’s a saying that gold cannot buy health or life. Therefore, 1000-year-old ginseng is an extremely valuable item. I hereby announce that the starting bid for this 1000-year-old ginseng is $10M! The bids must go up in $1M intervals. Finally, the highest bid will win!"

The MC’s words made everyone gasp. The items before were at highest $6M without minimum increases. People had the freedom to bid whatever they wanted. Not only did this item start off high, but there was also a minimum increase implemented.

Some people weren’t interested in this item like they were interested in the other items. After all, they would rather go to the hospital for health problems than to spend so much on a rare herb.

Han Cheng was about to raise his number when a cold voice shouted out, "$20M".

Han Cheng raised his number, "$30M."

Another person, "$40M."

Han Cheng, "$50M."

A third person, "$100M."

Han Cheng shouted, "$150M."

Another bid came, "$170M."

Han Cheng, "$200M."

The MC then asked, "Mr. Han Cheng has bid $200M. Does anyone want to bid more?"

Nobody spoke up. After all, $200M far surpassed the money these people were willing to spend. Nobody wanted to spend so much money for an ingredient that allegedly could help with health or increase someone’s lifespan.

Therefore, the MC raised his little hammer.

"Going once!"

"Going twice!"

"Going three times! It’s a deal! Congratulations to Mr. Han Cheng! You have successfully acquired this 1000-year-old ginseng with your bid of $200M!"

After the auction, Han Cheng received the 1000-year-old ginseng from the auctioneer before leaving for the hotel.
