With the spirit stone issue resolved, Liu Xiaoyuan was in high spirits. Of course, whether the Pure Yang Grass would appear at the auction seven days later was still unknown.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan was also at a loss. The whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass were not something that could be found by simply asking around.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan could only hope that Jia Youdao's words were true, and that he wouldn't attend the auction only to find that he hadn't seen the Pure Yang Grass, which would be a real disappointment.
Back at Murong Yuyan's house, Fang Chengbai was out fooling around, leaving Murong Yuyan alone at home.
When Murong Yuyan saw that Liu Xiaoyuan had been drinking, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she seemed somewhat displeased.
"Who did you go drinking with?" Murong Yuyan asked like a busybody.
Liu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "I went out for drinks with a friend. What's wrong? You need to investigate this? Do you really think of yourself as my wife?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's shameless words, Murong Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who wants to be your wife? You wish!"
After joking around for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan took the opportunity to touch Murong Yuyan's small hand again and found that Murong Yuyan's hand was getting colder day by day.
Murong Yuyan rolled her eyes at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Why do you keep touching people's hands? You bad boy!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Nothing, I just saw that our big star's hands are pretty and couldn't help but want to touch them."
As the two were joking around, Murong Yuyan's phone rang; it was Fang Chengbai calling.
"Cousin, help me! I've been captured!" Fang Chengbai's voice cried for help from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyan immediately asked, "Cousin, what happened to you? Did you get into trouble outside?"
Fang Chengbai said, "Cousin, stop asking so many questions. Hurry up and come to the 12th floor of the Century Building to save me. If you're late, I'll be dead."
Before Murong Yuyan could ask anything else, Fang Chengbai had already hung up.
When Fang Chengbai got into trouble, Murong Yuyan naturally couldn't ignore it, since he was her cousin. She immediately put on her sunglasses and prepared to go out.
Liu Xiaoyuan followed behind Murong Yuyan, got into the car, and sat in the passenger seat.
Worried about her cousin's safety, Murong Yuyan sped along the way, overtaking one car after another.
The car stopped in the underground parking lot of the Century Building, and Murong Yuyan and Liu Xiaoyuan took the elevator to the twelfth floor.
Upon reaching the twelfth floor, I discovered it was a foreign trade company, with a dozen or twenty people busily working inside the office.
Murong Yuyan immediately took out her phone and called Fang Chengbai. The call was answered quickly, and Fang Chengbai's anxious voice came from the other end, asking, "Cousin, where are you? Have you arrived yet?"
"I've arrived! Where are you? I'm coming right now!" Murong Yuyan said anxiously.
Subsequently, Murong Yuyan went to the place Fang Chengbai had indicated and found her cousin Fang Chengbai in an office, only to find that Fang Chengbai had been beaten black and blue.
Inside the office sat a man, smoking a cigar, with his legs propped up on his desk, exuding a thuggish air!
Upon seeing Murong Yuyan and Liu Xiaoyuan enter, the man was not surprised at all. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he asked, "You two must be this kid's cousin and cousin-in-law, right? I heard you're the big star Murong Yuyan. Is that true? Take off your glasses and let me see your true face."
Murong Yuyan glanced at the man and asked coldly, "What did my cousin do? Why did you beat him up like this?"
Upon hearing this, the man put his legs on the ground, stood up, and said, "So it really is Murong Yuyan, haha... Everyone says you, Murong Yuyan, are a pure and innocent girl, but I didn't expect you to have a boyfriend already. Pure my ass!"
Upon hearing the man speak so rudely, Murong Yuyan angrily retorted, "Watch your language! If you keep this up, I won't be polite!"
The man seemed emboldened, grinning as he looked at Murong Yuyan and asked, "Hey big star, how are you planning to treat me rudely? I'd love to know. Tell me. And don't think I don't know what kind of people you big stars are. You pretend to be innocent on the surface, but who knows what dirty things you've been doing behind the scenes."
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Liu Xiaoyuan slapped him across the face. "You can talk about other celebrities, but you can't talk about Murong Yuyan."
A crisp slap rang out in the office, exceptionally clear.
"Kid, you dare hit me?" The man covered the side of his face that had been slapped, his angry face showing a hint of astonishment.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to waste words with this kind of person, so he kicked the man away. "I don't care who you are, so what if I hit you?"
Fang Chengbai was completely shocked by Liu Xiaoyuan's methods. His cousin-in-law was really too awesome. He was so domineering and took action without hesitation.
"Cousin, what exactly happened?" Murong Yuyan asked after untying Fang Chengbai's rope.
Fang Cheng hesitated and refused to speak, as if he had something difficult to say.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Fang Chengbai, pointed at him, and said, "Tell me, or I'll slap you!"
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't believe that this cigar-smoking man would kidnap Fang Chengbai for no reason. If Fang Chengbai were a beautiful woman, it would be more likely. If someone else kidnapped him, they could at least enjoy the experience. But kidnapping a grown man like you? Are you expecting him to take a land route?
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's icy gaze, Fang Chengbai was so frightened that he immediately revealed the truth.
Murong Yuyan bought Fang Chengbai another camera, which cost her tens of thousands of yuan, including the lens. With the new camera, Fang Chengbai started meeting girls online to take photos of him, using them as models.
Actually, Fang Chengbai did this for two reasons: first, to take photos, and second, to see if he could develop a romantic relationship. Even if not, a casual fling would be fine.
Fang Chengbai met the man's girlfriend online, and Fang Chengbai was immediately amazed by her beauty. She was like a fairy. Fang Chengbai felt that he was really lucky.
Fang Chengbai thought he had hit the jackpot today, having actually gotten a date with such a beautiful girl. After taking the photos, Fang Chengbai even invited her to dinner.
The man's girlfriend actually agreed, and as a result, the man discovered their affair during dinner. He immediately ordered his men to arrest Fang Cheng and Bai and bring them back to the company.
After bringing Fang Chengbai back to the company, the man gave him a severe beating.
Fang Chengbai is really at a loss. Damn it, he didn't even get a chance to touch her, and he got beaten up like this, his head turned into a pig's head. He's really lost out big time.
