Chapter 358 Preparing to Cause Trouble
Yuan Shanchuan watched in amazement, feeling as if the painting he had painstakingly hidden was right before his eyes.
Meng Yunzheng was still finishing up when Da Niu, who had been observing the doorway, suddenly said, "Someone's coming out."
Shu Yu walked over and heard Da Niu say, "It's a pity, he's just a follower."
"Attendant?" Shu Yu took his place and indeed saw a servant wearing a veiled hat come out of the private room, while the others remained inside.
Suddenly, Meng Yunzheng said, "This is a good opportunity. Making trouble for this attendant might get the people in the private room to come out."
In the midst of chaos, it is easiest to substitute one thing for another.
Shu Yu nodded. "How do we find it?"
"I left Brother Zhao downstairs, and I'll give him my instructions." As he spoke, Meng Yunzheng walked to the window and pressed down on the shutters with his hand, once, twice, three times, at least seven or eight times.
At this moment, Zhao Xi, who had been waiting in the lobby downstairs, looked up and saw Meng Yunzheng's signal, and immediately straightened up.
He stuffed the pastry in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, and glanced nonchalantly at the stairwell.
A short while later, a person appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Zhao Xi looked up again, and Meng Yunzheng upstairs naturally saw the person coming downstairs, so he pressed down the baiye blades twice more.
After confirming the information, Zhao Xi casually followed the attendant wearing a veil.
The attendant went straight to the latrine, and Zhao Xi went in as well.
A short while later, they came out again.
To Zhao Xi's surprise, the attendant did not return to the auction building, but instead headed towards the front hall.
Zhao Xi suddenly narrowed his eyes; something was wrong.
As he watched the man walk away, he suddenly shouted, "Ah, there's a thief! A thief went that way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black market worker came over and asked, "Sir, sir, what's wrong?"
“I just saw a thief in brown clothes go into the front hall. He seemed to be carrying something in his hand, acting suspiciously. He bumped into me and didn't even apologize. Instead, he was flustered. After he left, I realized my purse was gone. How can there be thieves in your black market? This is so strange.”
The men's expressions changed slightly. Brown clothes? Yuan Shanchuan had worn brown clothes before.
They hadn't been able to find him, and they never expected that he would be so audacious as to steal the customers' money.
Also, he was holding something in his hand. Could it be that he stole the painting after all?
Damn it, if that really happens, then something terrible is going to happen.
The two men quickly gathered a few people and ran towards the front hall.
While they weren't paying attention, Zhao Xi had already run to the front hall. This was the main hall that Shu Yu and the others had entered first, with a counter and staff providing information.
Some people did not go to the auction house and continued to trade here.
So there are still quite a few people in the lobby at this moment.
The black market workers clearly didn't want to make a big fuss; they simply had the front, back, left, and right doors blocked, intending to conduct a thorough search of the hall.
However, Zhao Xi also joined in. His goal was to cause a scene, so how could he allow them to act in such a low-key manner?
As soon as he rushed in, he shouted, "A thief has broken in! Everyone be careful and see who just came in. He stole my purse! Damn it, I have to go to the small building for the auction. If I lose my money, I'll lose my life too!"
