The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 1 The Lost Lover

"Mr. Yuan, the test results show that the gray-white sand you brought back from the scene where Miss Cui disappeared contains 100% iron! With the current level of human technology, it is impossible to manufacture this kind of material. Unless..." the phone The voice in the middle hesitated a little.

"Unless what?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"Unless it is a product of the non-human world!"

"Understood, thank you. I will go to the identification laboratory later today. You don't have to wait for me to get off work. Just put the samples and test results in the waiting pool and I can get them." Yuan Yizhou ordered.

After putting down the phone, Yuan Yizhou fell into deep thought. 100% pure elemental iron materials rarely exist because iron reacts easily with other elements to form compounds.Commonly referred to as "iron" are ferrous alloys containing other elements such as steel and cast iron...

"Mr. Yuan, the driver is already downstairs. The rehearsal for your TV station is about four o'clock this afternoon. Would you like to stop by the dress shop? The designer Fei called and said that the wedding dress for your fiancée, Miss Xingmeng, has been prepared." It's been a while."

Secretary Aiya's professional voice brought Yuan Yizhou's thoughts back to reality. He rubbed his sore and swollen temples and replied wearily: "Let's arrange it like this."

Aya gently closed the door and exited the office.

"Mengmeng, what happened to you? You have been missing for 48 hours. Where are you? I must find you!" Yuan Yizhou sighed softly, got up from the leather boss chair in front of the French window, and grabbed himself Cashmere coat, take the private elevator on the top floor to the underground parking lot.

"Mr. Yuan, Xiao Ai has already uploaded Ye Qinghe's profile and her gallery information you want, and the tablet is placed in the back seat." Du Ming, the driver in a suit and leather shoes, reported on the way to meet Yuan Yizhou from the elevator. .

Yuan Yizhou responded to Xiao Du with a slight nod, and got into the car.When the car drove out of the parking lot, Yuan Yizhou's thoughts had already returned to the main venue of the Cresti Annual Auction.

Two days ago, his fiancée Cui Xingmeng, who was about to get married next month, disappeared from the chief auctioneer's platform at that auction event in full view.During these 48 hours, he replayed that scene countless times in his brain, trying to find clues about her disappearance.

It was a night filled with the scent of lilacs, and the main hall of the Christie Auction House in City A was crowded with people. The annual grand event of the auction was going on here, and buyers from all over the world came for a treasure: Rest!
This lot is preserved in a vacuum-free glass cover, which looks slightly dark red, suspended on the stainless steel base of the glass cover, but otherwise, it is no different from ordinary soil.The starting price of [-] million US dollars set a record for the same category. In the list of buyer invitation letters, there are many agents of political and business giants from various countries. There are even rumors that Singapore’s Temasek Holdings Group contacted the seller before the auction and tried to spend three times more. The premium is sold in advance, and this lot is bound to be won.

"3000 million and [-] million times!" Chief auctioneer Cui Xingmeng's calm yet sweet female voice echoed in the hall.

"3000 million times!" The voice became more urgent, but still solemn.She gracefully raised her left hand, and raised her slender white fingers towards the buyer holding the placard. She was wearing an ancient custom-made cheongsam with water ripples. With her curvaceous waist and buttocks, she was full of brilliance. Yuan Yizhou is very fascinated.

"20 billion!" There was a commotion in the whole hall.Cui Xingmeng's white and translucent cheeks were flushed, and her red phoenix eyes couldn't hide her excitement.She followed the direction of the voice and sent her right hand. When she saw the person who said these three words, she froze suddenly, her hand was hanging in the air, and she forgot to repeat the quotation.

Ye Qinghe? !How could she bid for Xi Yang?
Yuan Yizhou was very keenly aware of the abnormality of his fiancée, turned around and looked in the direction Cui Xingmeng's right hand was pointing at, and the moment he met Ye Qinghe's eyes, he understood Xingmeng's gaffe.

Ye Qinghe, the operator of Miemeng Gallery, has been very active in the auction industry recently, and the annual finale calligraphy and paintings of several major auction houses have been acquired by the gallery.Ye Qinghe herself is also a hot topic in the auction world. As the only legal person operator of the gallery, she has never appeared at the auction site, and all bids are made through an agent. How could she appear here today? The auction is not for calligraphy and painting The rest of the soil?
"25 billion!" Apparently the bidder on the left didn't intend to give up.

"50 billion!" The voice was still cold, but it caught everyone's attention.Ye Qinghe obviously didn't care about these gazes, and there was no trace of emotion on that stern and beautiful face.

"50 billion times!" Cui Xingmeng, who came back to his senses, repeated the sky-high price without losing the opportunity.

"50 billion twice!" She repeated quickly, for fear that Ye Qinghe would change his mind.

"60 billion!" The voice was a little annoyed, and the bidder on the left seemed to be making a last-ditch effort.

"100 billion!" Ye Qinghe raised his voice, slowly stood up from his seat, and looked down at the audience.At this time, Yuan Yizhou noticed that Ye Qinghe was wearing a dress similar to Cui Xingmeng's. No, it was made of a similar material. It was as soft as silk and like flowing water. It fit as closely as his own skin, but it was more flexible than his skin. Light and ethereal.

In the end, it was finalized that Xi Rang was acquired by Miemeng Gallery with a transaction price of 100 billion US dollars. The crowd was still full of enthusiasm for the auction process just now, so after the auction, it was supposed to be a handover ceremony attended by both buyers and sellers. Attract more people to stop and pay attention.

"Ms. Ye, please move to the main auction platform!" Cui Xingmeng was very excited. I don't know if it was because of the lights, Yuan Yizhou saw that her cheongsam, which was originally shining with silver stars, was a little more flushed, which was very similar to the color of Cui Xingmeng's cheeks.

The corners of Ye Qinghe's mouth were raised slightly, and he walked toward the auction stage. When he passed the front row, he glanced at Yuan Yizhou, but he still couldn't see any emotion from her.

"May I ask Miss Cui to hand over the soil to me in person?" Ye Qinghe said in a polite tone that did not allow any objection.

"Of course no problem!" Cui Xingmeng put on the white gloves prepared by his assistant, carefully stretched his hands to the glass cover on the display stand, held the stainless steel base with both hands, and walked in front of Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe was not in a hurry to take Xi Rang, she raised her right hand and caressed the glass cover, the huge diamond ring on her index finger was extremely dazzling under the column light.The two beauties are standing face to face, with a lot worth tens of billions in the middle. This picture is very eye-catching.

Yuan Yizhou noticed at this time that although the material of Ye Qinghe's dress was similar to that of his fiancée's cheongsam, the color was very different. Ye Qinghe's silver was cold like an iceberg, while Xingmeng's silver was powdery and bright like a galaxy.

At this moment, the lights in the venue suddenly started to flicker randomly. Everyone looked around, wondering if there was a problem with the power supply, when Yuan Yizhou suddenly heard Yuan Yizhou shout: "Mengmeng!"

When the attention of the crowd returned to the main auction platform, everything in front of them was dumbfounded.The glass cover has been shattered all over the place, and the auction goddess Cui Xingmeng is completely wrapped in dark red soil, and the hand exposed at the end has become translucent.Yuan Yizhou, who was only one step away from the auction stage, rushed towards his fiancée like an arrow leaving the string, but only caught a handful of gray-white sand!
Cui Xingmeng was swallowed by Xi Yang!
"President Yuan, are you thinking about Miss Xingmeng again?" Du Ming asked with concern when he saw Yuan Yizhou's pale face through the rear mirror.

"We'll be at the dress shop in two more traffic lights. Designer Fei should already be waiting for you in the shop." Yuan Yizhou didn't make a sound, but just nodded.

Yuan Yizhou withdrew his memories and sorted out his emotions, "Fei Yu has been insisting on interviewing, so does he know something about Xingmeng's disappearance?"
