325: The tracking of two rogues

After gaining a reputation by selling cars through live streaming, Xu Yao has held three more live streaming events in recent days.

Even if she is not selling goods, she will do a two-hour live broadcast every day to interact with fans. At the same time, her earthy short dramas are still being updated. She really doesn't have time to rest for a single day.

Gu Jun felt sorry for her.

But he also had no right to interfere in Xu Yao's life.

He could only give Xu Yao some advice, but he didn't know whether Xu Yao would listen.

As expected, Xu Yao smiled and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about me. Have you guys kept in touch since Jason left South City? I saw on the news that his painting 'Fate' was sold for 5.8 million."

Gu Jun knew what Xu Yao was thinking. "5.8 million wasn't the price I offered. 'Fate' was targeted by a professional collector who wanted to buy it and wait a year or two before selling it. I didn't compete with him at the auction, and in the end, 'Fate' was sold for 5.8 million."

Gu Jun did not compete with the professional collector at the auction.

Even though he has the ability.

But if he desperately raises the price, there will be no point in sending "Destiny" to auction. Gu Jun still wants to help Jason feel the market reaction.

5.8 million is the market's true assessment of the value of Jason's paintings.

For a painter in his twenties, selling a painting for more than 5 million yuan would be a sensation in the art world no matter which country it is in.

Why would a professional collector be willing to spend $5.8 million on Jason's work?

First, Jason's paintings have artistic value, and "Fate" is also top-notch among all Jason's paintings that have been made public.

Second, Jiang Zhiyan’s high-profile purchase of custom paintings raised the price of Jason’s paintings.

Third, Fu Hong has disclosed Jason’s condition.

The first two points are crucial, but the third is equally crucial: while the artist is alive, he or she can produce a steady stream of new works. If the artist dies, the existing works become posthumous, and their value will double! Professional collectors price Jason's works based on these three points.

Gu Jun did not bid high at the auction. After the auction, he raised the price and bought "Destiny" back from a professional collector.

Gu Jun was going to transfer the money from selling the paintings to Jason, but Jason asked Gu Jun to help save it.

"If you give him money, he may not be able to manage it himself. Money in your hands is his way out."

Xu Yao revealed Jason's thoughts in one sentence.

The two chatted for a while about Jason. When it was time for Gu Jun to board the plane, the assistant sent a message to remind him.

"you--"

"I--"

Gu Jun and Xu Yao spoke at the same time and then stopped at the same time.

Gu Jun asked Xu Yao to speak first. Xu Yao cleared her throat and said, "Nothing. I wish you a smooth business trip!"

Gu Junze said softly, "Congratulations on gaining a foothold in Orca. But as the old saying goes, it's easier to dodge a gun than to guard against an arrow. I've heard rumors that your excellent performance has offended the local bosses at Orca. You'd better be careful."

"……I know."

Xu Yao paused. "Actually, our current situations are very similar. We've both left our comfort zones to make money in other people's territory. I'll be targeted, and you might not be safe either. So, you need to be careful too."

——Yaoyao still cares about him.

Gu Jun felt bitter in his heart, because he knew that Xu Yao's concern did not necessarily mean that she still loved him. Xu Yao was a very good person. She did not say bad things about Chen Yan before, and now she cared about him out of kindness.

One thing Jiang Zhiyan did right was to let Gu Jun be the baby's godfather.

He is the godfather and Xu Yao is the godmother, so it is reasonable for them to meet when they go to see the baby.

Thinking of this, Gu Jun's restless heart calmed down again.

"When I come back with a new gift, please give it to Tangtang for me."

"You can let Jiang..."

Before Xu Yao finished speaking, Gu Jun received another message from his assistant urging him to do something.

"I'm about to board the plane. Let's talk about it when I get back home."

"Can--"

Gu Jun left in a hurry, and Xu Yao stayed where she was, holding her breath.

Why did she help Gu Jun deliver the gift?

Gu Jun should have asked Jiang Zhiyan to pass it on!

Xu Yao discovered the disadvantages of Tangtang and Jiang Zhiyan raising the baby together.

Unless Xu Yao breaks off contact with Tangtang, she will not be able to avoid dealing with Gu Jun. After all, Jiang Zhiyan has unilaterally decided to make Gu Jun the baby's godfather!

But why would Xu Yao break off contact with Tangtang because of this?

Likewise, Xu Yao couldn't let the baby be without a father just because of her own reasons——

Xu Yao left the airport and returned to the studio. On the way, the driver Qiangzi looked at the rearview mirror several times.

Tangtang and Gu Jun had both reminded Xu Yao to be careful, and she was now more alert: "Is there a problem?"

Qiangzi nodded: "There is a car following us from the hospital."

The people in the car didn't do anything except follow her all the way. No one got off the car when Xu Yao went to the terminal.

If it weren't for Qiangzi's strong professional skills, it would have been impossible to confirm that he was being followed.

Xu Yao frowned.

"Just observe for a while. If there's anything unusual, call the police. We won't handle this ourselves."

"OK."

Qiangzi's job is to drive and protect Xu Yao. It is very impressive that he can detect potential danger in time. In a society ruled by law, it is necessary to call the police when necessary. There is no need to fight with the other party.

In the next two days, Xu Yao took a lot of people with her every time she went out, so she was never left alone.

Even so, the car that was following Xu Yao continued to follow.

The other party didn't do anything extreme, but it was quite annoying. Xu Yao would get distracted during the meeting.

Because of this, Xu Yao hasn't visited Tangtang and the baby for two days. Tangtang just wants to keep a low profile during the confinement period, and she can't bring trouble to Tangtang.

Xu Yao figured it out early on the third morning. She couldn't waste her time on this matter anymore.

When they saw the car again, Xu Yao asked Qiangzi to go up and knock on the other car window.

At first, the people in the car ignored Qiangzi. Qiangzi knocked repeatedly, and the car window rolled down. Two ruffian-looking men sitting in the car asked Qiangzi loudly what he wanted to do.

Qiangzi's face darkened: "You've been following us for two days. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The man in the car refused to admit it: "What do you mean by following me for two days? I don't understand what you are saying!"

Qiangzi grabbed the man in the driver's seat by the arm and said, "Stay away from Miss Xu. Do you understand?"

Qiangzi's hands were very strong. The man struggled several times but failed to break free. He shouted, "If you touch me again, I'm going to call the police!"

Xu Yao came over.

The other man in the co-pilot seat even whistled at Xu Yao in a vulgar way.

It's really too arrogant.

The two men were sure that Xu Yao couldn't do anything to them because they really did nothing!

As for following Xu Yao for two days... the road was not built by Xu Yao's family, they were just driving around aimlessly, driving however they wanted!

This kind of scoundrel is disgusting.

Being stared at by the two men with frivolous eyes, Xu Yao smiled instead of getting angry. "Call the police? Okay, go ahead. Don't you think that since you don't have any evidence left, the police can't do anything to you? After all, call logs and chat messages can be deleted... Did you know that these deleted records can be restored through technical means? Have you really cleaned up all traces?"

Xu Yao knew that they were just two minions.

There are others behind the minions.

No matter who ordered the minions to do the job, Xu Yao didn't believe that the other party had not made a phone call, sent a message, or transferred any money.

If the other party is really so cautious, Xu Yao's rhetoric will fail!
