As the host spoke, he kept an eye on Wen Lu's movements. He was ready to perform well and help her win the item at the most opportune moment.
Unfortunately, Wen Lu did not raise her paddle until the end of the auction, and seemed uninterested throughout.
After the auction, the manager personally invited Wen Lu to his office and placed the two auction items in front of him.
He hadn't expected Wen Lu to be interested in the small pills on the black market, so he tried to ingratiate himself.
"Peach Master, we have his contact information in the auction back office. If you need it, I can help you get in touch with him."
Wen Lu took the bag from the manager, glared at him impatiently, then suddenly remembered something and spoke in a flat tone.
"I need a set of equipment. Can you help me get it? I'll send you the model number in a bit. Also, try to cover up what happened at today's auction. I don't want to see my relationship with Spade Pavilion exposed anywhere."
Wen Lu hasn't found anyone who would kill her yet, and she doesn't want to reveal her identity.
She believed her people wouldn't betray her, but now wasn't the time to contact them; she would find a more suitable opportunity.
The best thing now is for everyone to think she's dead, so that those with ulterior motives will lower their guard and come to the surface.
The Shadow Pavilion and the 9th Institute both need a thorough overhaul now.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news. I'll handle the equipment myself. Where should I find you after I get the equipment?"
The manager dared not inquire about his master's whereabouts, but he would certainly cooperate with his master's actions.
"Let's go to the city center. Call me when you have everything ready, and I'll wait for you there. Also, get me a black card with this ID card and give it to me."
As she spoke, Wen Lu took her ID card out of her pocket and handed it to the manager. The manager took the ID card, took a photo of it, and then respectfully returned it to Wen Lu.
"Is this your current address, Master Tao?" the manager asked Wen Lu excitedly, feeling as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
He had already boasted for a lifetime about having seen Peach Blossom's true face, and now that she even knew her true identity, he was utterly flattered.
"I'm living here now, but I don't know if things will change later. I'll contact you in advance if there are any changes."
Wen Lu looked at the excited manager with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and she couldn't help but start to doubt whether this person could actually complete the task she had assigned.
"I'm leaving."
Not wanting to continue talking to the idiot, Wen Lu stood up, picked up her things, and left.
It was getting late, and she wanted to go home to see what was going on, but she didn't know if things would be resolved by the time she got home.
It's such a pity. If it weren't for getting that thing, she would definitely have stayed home to watch the show. She really wanted to know what the Wen family would choose under these circumstances.
"I'll arrange a car to take you back. Don't worry, the driver is my trusted confidant. He doesn't know your identity, so he won't reveal your information."
Although the manager was a bit slow-witted, he still had his professional ethics and wouldn't put his boss in danger.
After glancing at the time, Wen Lu knew it would be difficult to get a taxi in this area. She nodded and left in the car arranged by the manager.
At that moment, two people walked out of the side door of the auction hall. One of the men looked thoughtfully in the direction the Mercedes had left.
He felt that the figure driving away in the Mercedes looked familiar, but he wasn't sure if it was the person he was thinking of.
The distance was too far and it was a bit dark, so he couldn't make out anything for a moment.
He's becoming increasingly interested in the little girl, and he's particularly curious about why she was in that warehouse that day.
And what's the story behind her information? Why does all the information we find not match her actual situation? We wonder how many secrets she's hiding.
"Ling He? Fourth Brother?"
A gentle voice came from behind the two men.
The voice, neither too loud nor too soft, revealed an undisguised surprise; she seemed not to have expected to encounter these two people in this place.
Ling He heard someone calling his name. He slowly turned around and looked at the crowd, where he saw Wen Xingwan's figure.
After confirming that the person calling him was Wen Xingwan, Ling He hurriedly looked at the man beside him, nudged Wang Jinyu lightly with his elbow, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
He knew very well about his relationship with Wen Xingwan; the man beside him had even fled abroad to avoid her.
After confirming that she hadn't mistaken anyone, Wen Xingwan squeezed out of the crowd like a butterfly and ran to Wang Jinyu and Ling He's side.
"Fourth Brother, is that really you? What are you doing in Harbin?"
Wen Xingwan looked at Wang Jinyu excitedly. All her previous reserve and poise had vanished. She could no longer hide her excitement. All she knew was that she was extremely happy to see Wang Jinyu.
Faced with Wen Xingwan's excitement, Wang Jinyu simply nodded, unconsciously taking a step back to distance himself from Wen Xingwan's approach.
Wen Xingwan noticed Wang Jinyu's actions, but it did not affect her excitement; she even deliberately moved closer.
"Ling He, you and Fourth Brother are also here for the auction? Did you buy anything? I came for that jade pendant, but unfortunately it was snatched up by a particularly arrogant girl."
Wen Xingwan looked regretful when she talked about the jade pendant. If it weren't for her limited budget, she would definitely have bought it.
Ling He and Wang Jinyu had no interest in what Wen Xingwan was saying. They had come only for the last item to be auctioned, but for some reason the last item was changed, so they left the venue.
"It's getting late, so we'll head back now. Your driver is waiting for you."
Ling He glanced at Wang Jinyu out of the corner of his eye. He could tell that Wang Jinyu didn't have the patience to listen to Wen Xingwan talk about her. He quickly interrupted Wen Xingwan and led Wang Jinyu away.
"Ling He, Fourth Brother, let's have dinner together tonight. I know a really good restaurant in Harbin that you'll love. Let's go back together."
Without waiting for Wang Jinyu and Ling He to refuse, Wen Xingwan told her driver to go back first, and then followed Wang Jinyu into Ling He's car.
