Chapter 217: There's No Need to Be Such a Crow Mouth

"How can I do this?" Duanrao was somewhat tempted, but he had a feeling that something was wrong.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm just a person. The land is really valuable. That means you account for the majority of our investment, so you'll get a bigger share. Otherwise, who would invest?"

Jiang Changbin: “…” Yes, yes, yes, the materials are free, the publicity is free, the labor is free, nothing is free.

Du Anrao couldn't think of a better way for the moment, so he nodded in agreement temporarily. However, he still vaguely felt that he had taken advantage of Xi Jingyue, and said awkwardly: "Then it's 40-60, you 4... I 60?"

"Okay, in this case, I'm taking advantage of you."

Jiang Changbin, who witnessed the whole process: "..." This is the first time I see someone who is eager to suffer a loss but still smiles like a flower. Could it be... Could it be that he wants to retreat in order to advance?

The more Jiang Changbin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his eyes became more vigilant when he looked at Xi Jingyue.

This man is a deep-minded person. My little cousin might not be able to beat him. We can’t let him lead my cousin astray!

Xi Jingyue had no idea that he had been labeled as a scheming person in someone's mind. Seeing that Duanrao had regained his usual relaxed and carefree self after getting rid of the burden on his mind, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose a few points.

The group hurriedly walked out of the auction house's door. Before they had time to call for a car, a luxurious and low-key black sedan stopped in front of the three of them.

The driver's window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

"Sister, why are you here?" The person driving the car was Du Bixiao, whom she had met at Jiangyu Plaza not long ago.

"Get in the car first, I'll take you back."

"Okay." Du Anrao trusted Du Bixiao very much. When he heard her words, he was about to get in the car, but then he thought of Jiang Changbin and the other person, and stopped suddenly.

"Sister, this is my eldest cousin and Mr. Xi, they are with me."

Du Bixiao was also straightforward: "Then everyone get in the car and we'll send you off together."

Xi Jingyue and the other person didn't have any objections. One of them wanted to help Du Anrao move stones, and the other was even prepared to follow him directly to the house. He had to follow Du Anrao anyway.

Several people got into the car together, and Duanrao did not forget to continue the previous topic.

"Sister, you haven't told me yet, why are you here? Could it be..." Has another murder happened here?

Du Bixiao: “…” There’s no need to be so pessimistic. I’m really not the Conan type who will get into trouble wherever I go!

"The annual auction at Duobao Pavilion is very grand. Every year, wealthy businessmen from all over the world gather here. In order to ensure the safety of the people coming and going and to ensure the smooth progress of the auction, our department will assign a group of people to maintain order every year. This year, it is our team's turn."

Duan Rao nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is."

[Yes, those who come to this auction are all well-known and wealthy businessmen from all over the country. There is no guarantee that some people will not have evil intentions and take advantage of this great opportunity to randomly kidnap a few rich people and force them to pay ransom or something.]

Du Bixiao: "..." In a way, this little cousin's idea is quite cruel, although it is also true.

The department where Du Bixiao works is worried that so many wealthy businessmen would gather here and be kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives, causing chaos. So it is true that they send a team of people here every year to maintain order and deal with various emergencies, but Du Bixiao was not among those originally sent.

The reason why she appeared here was purely because she knew Duanrao was here. On the one hand, she wanted to protect her safety nearby, and on the other hand, she wanted to see if she would encounter any interesting things at this auction and reveal some...hidden secrets that they didn't know.

Facts have proved that Du Bixiao's move was very prescient.

Du Bixiao had already sorted out all the things that Du Anrao was thinking about when he was auctioning the items just now, and packed them up and sent them to Du Desheng.

I think by now their uncle should have known why their little cousin spared no expense to buy the land, and he has also figured out how to deal with the follow-up issues of the two pieces of land and the group of people involved behind this matter.

Du Bixiao just came out to go through the motions, and left after sending Du Anrao home safely. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to Du Anrao, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Ever since I put on the gift you gave me, my luck has improved. Yesterday, I had a mission to track down a runaway prisoner. The man panicked and got into a car accident. His car almost flipped over and hit our car."

Duan Rao was surprised: "So, are you guys okay?"

"It was a close call. The car just brushed past our car but didn't hit it. Everyone in the car was fine."

Because of this incident, Du Bixiao has now become a rare animal and a key protected object in the bureau. Not only the people in her own department, but also people from other departments who heard about this couldn't help but run to meet her by chance, so that she was surrounded by onlookers whenever she showed up on her way to and from get off work these two days.

Even her immediate boss looked at her with a passionate yet melancholy look these past two days.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a gift Duanrao had given her specifically, and the blessing was made specifically for her, it might not be useful for other people to wear this thing. Those colleagues in the bureau who were about to go out on missions would have liked to borrow it from her for a few days.

Du Anrao had no idea what kind of uproar the small gift he gave to his cousin had caused within their unit.

Hearing her say that, I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

As soon as Du Bixiao left, Du Anrao brought Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue into the house to meet Du Desheng and Qin Yanqing.

Jiang Changbin was somewhat intimidated by Mr. Du Jiu, the famous man in City B. After handing the box of remaining raw materials to Du Anrao, he left, saying it was getting late and he could not disturb him.

When he left, he did not forget to invite Xi Jingyue to leave with him, but Xi Jingyue politely refused: "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Du, cousin, you go back first.

Jiang Changbin: “?!” I was careless. This guy is cheating! Also, who is your cousin? I’ve told you so many times, don’t shout!

Jiang Changbin left reluctantly with a heart full of grief and indignation, but Du Desheng narrowed his eyes dangerously because of his words: "You want to discuss something with me? What?"

Xi Jingyue didn't say anything. He turned his head and glanced at Du Anrao and Qin Yanqing. His meaning was self-evident.

Qin Yanqing saw what he meant at a glance. Thinking of the information that Awen and Du Bixiao had just passed on about what happened at the auction tonight, she vaguely guessed what Xi Jingyue wanted to discuss with Du Desheng, and tactfully pulled Du Anrao up.

"You guys talk about your business. An An and I will go to the small kitchen to see if there is anything to eat." After saying that, without giving the two grown men time to react, she left happily with Du Anrao.

"Come on, let's not listen to their clichéd and annoying things. Grandma will take you to eat something delicious."

"Okay grandma!"

The two grown men who were ruthlessly abandoned: "..."
