The auction had not officially started yet, and Colonel Rango had not arrived.

As was her habit, Chen Rou drove alone. As soon as she stopped the car, an auction company employee came forward to help her park.

As soon as she got out of the car, a tall, handsome foreign man in a sharp suit, with a face that looked like a walking butcher shop, came up to her: "Hi, Mrs. Nie, I'm Bob. Colonel Lango arranged for me to wait for you."

He further explained, "He has a meeting this morning, so he'll be here a little later."

Chen Rou actually knew him; he was Bob from the Flying Tigers.

Because of him, Huo Qi drove a van directly into the sea. Otherwise, his radio and all his eavesdropping devices would have been exposed. Fortunately, he was decisive enough to drive up the cliff and jump into the sea with the van.

If he had run even a little slower, Bob would have shot him, and the nuclear leak and murder charges would have been forever unrecoverable.

After Sir James and Colonel Rango fell out, Bob became their new mediator. And judging from his flamboyant manner, Chen Rou immediately realized that this guy was probably trying to seduce her.

He was tall and young, and his perfume wasn't offensive. He pressed the elevator button and stood aside, waiting for Chen Rou to enter before coming in. After pressing the floor button, he deliberately puffed out his chest and raised his head. Wow, his pectoral muscles were quite impressive.

He was quite good at complimenting people. Because Chen Rou was wearing a sleeveless, off-the-shoulder black cashmere sweater that showed off her muscular arms, he said, "Mrs. Nie, your arm muscles are the best I've ever seen on a woman."

Seeing Chen Rou smile, he said, "You usually like to go for a morning run, right? I've seen you on the road a few times."

Chen Rou nodded: "You also live in Repulse Bay?"

Bob said, "I also go for a morning run every day at the garden house at No. 14 Second Street."

Seeing Chen Rou nod again, he added, "Let's go running together another day. You can meet my dog; he's very cute."

This person clearly did their research, knowing that Chen Rou likes dogs and that Zhui Feng is too old to keep her company.

However, he was still thinking of taking things step by step, slowly getting close to Chen Rou and finding something to hold against her. But Chen Rou had laid a trap and was going to fire directly in a couple of days, wiping out all of them, these secret agents, from Hong Kong.

She handed her bag to Bob to carry when she got off the bus.

Just as she got off the elevator, her phone beeped. She reached for her phone and handed the bag back to Bob.

But in a single glance, Bob noticed it was a text message.

The flip phone had a small screen on top displaying a message from her husband: "You must persuade the colonel."

The auction house has VIP customer rooms. Before the auction starts, VIP customers can drink tea, read magazines, listen to music, and wait. Chen Rou gestured for Bob to wait for her in the VIP room, and then went to the restroom.

Bob could read Chinese. He saw Chen Rou leave, but her bag was open, so he quickly glanced at it.

In a single glance, he noticed a makeup bag and a spare cell phone battery in her bag.

Oh, and there's also a Walkman and a pair of headphones.

Sticking out his tongue, Bob picked out the earphones, snapped off the metal button on the middle adjustment cable, and replaced it with one of his own clips. The clip was a different color from Chen Rou's original one, and of course, it was also a bugging device.

He knew that Chen Rou was a special agent from the mainland, and he also knew that with her special agent skills, she should be able to detect it.

But it didn't matter. He knew her background and just wanted to provoke her, show her what a real agent should be like, and remind her that the intelligence industry is a man's world, and the only role women can play in this field is to be a stuntwoman in movies and attract the attention of male audiences.

After replying to the text message, she returned, sat on the sofa, and picked up the sketchbook on the table.

At the same time, the waiter brought the tea menu, and while Chen Rou was ordering tea, Bob, under the cover of the picture book, quickly flipped through her phone. Sure enough, she had already deleted the text message from earlier.

However, she was quite professional. After ordering, she noticed that her phone battery was low and wanted to change the battery. As soon as she touched her earphones, she immediately realized something was wrong. She took them out and looked at them. She immediately smiled, put the earphones on the coffee table, looked at them, and then looked at Bob's eyes, as if to say, "See? I found out."

Bob knew that in half a month, the Nie family would face a crisis because of their evidence.

He roughly knew that Nie Zhao not only colluded with the governor, but also tried to get Chen Rou to deal with Colonel Lango and secure the ocean shipping business. But it was no use. The blow from the Military Intelligence Bureau half a month later would make Nie Zhao unable to recover completely.

He came today for two reasons: first, to keep an eye on Colonel Rango for Sir James and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble.

Furthermore, it also allowed this woman from mainland China to see him and get to know him beforehand, so that after the incident, she would immediately think that he was the one who did it, since he was the one who collected the evidence of the conspiracy between Nie and the ICPO.

Frankly speaking, it's no wonder that Nie Zhao has a clean private life and no scandals whatsoever.

The proprietress of the Nie family was well-proportioned, healthy, and beautiful. She had a pair of bright, slightly upturned eyes with exquisite lines, a nose like a whirlwind, and features that were like a painting. Her appearance was absolutely stunning, and her complexion was fair with a rosy glow, which made her look exceptionally healthy. Her eyes were also very provocative and aggressive, which was sure to attract the attention of the strong.

The two locked eyes and began exchanging glances.

The way they were using their eyes gave Bob the illusion that the next James Bond film should feature an Asian beauty.

However, just as he was enjoying his flirtatious exchange with Mrs. Nie, Colonel Rango arrived.
