Liu Yihang hasn't made up his mind yet, because it's not easy for him to get a copy card now, and he doesn't want to use it easily.
Just then, Miao Cuihua suddenly called.
The date for the auction has been set.
Miao Cuihua planned to go in person to witness the grand auction of this jadeite rough stone. She asked Liu Yihang if he was interested in being her bodyguard again.
Liu Yihang originally didn't want to go. For him, the result was all that mattered at these auctions; he didn't care about the process.
But what Miao Cuihua said next caught his attention.
Miao Cuihua said that she received news that an old European family had gone bankrupt and was undergoing liquidation. It was said that many treasures would be auctioned off to pay off debts, including many pieces of oriental porcelain.
If they had gone a few days earlier, they could have made it to the auction and even seen it in person.
This piqued Liu Yihang's interest. He had plenty of knowledge in his head, but lacked practical experience.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
He immediately agreed to Miao Cuihua's request.
Miao Cuihua gave a triumphant smile on the other end of the phone.
She had her own ulterior motives. Although she didn't lack bodyguards, who was more reliable than Liu Yihang? It would be safer to take him with her.
Of course, her information was also true. The auction company that contacted her mentioned that if she went a few days earlier, she could attend an auction with many Oriental collectibles, which might interest her, and invited her to attend.
She wasn't really interested in these things, but Liu Yihang definitely would be.
I made an appointment with Liu Yihang to depart two days later. Besides him, there will also be a personal translator and a butler to handle miscellaneous matters.
Liu Yihang was about to say that he could speak English, but then he thought about his poor accent and decided to find a translator.
As a top student, I am naturally familiar with English, but being able to understand it doesn't mean I can speak it. I can manage to listen, but speaking is much worse. First, I lack a language environment, and second, I don't have a standard accent.
The English exam doesn't test speaking skills, so his spoken English is indeed not very good.
Miao Cuihua gave him two days to pack and prepare.
Just like when he went to Yunnan, he needed to bring several formal suits, and this time it was a complete set of Western-style formal suits, including a tie, tie clip, cufflinks, pocket square, and so on.
He could understand that; when in Rome, do as the Romans do—it's the most basic courtesy.
Liu Yihang went straight to buy several expensive outfits; these were essential for getting in the door, and he couldn't skimp on them, especially since he wasn't short of money.
Then there are some personal belongings.
Two days later, in the afternoon, the group of four boarded a plane to Europe.
Given the speed of airplanes at that time, they would need to spend twenty hours, almost a day, in the air to reach their destination, London.
"System notification: Please be aware of safety."
Liu Yihang's heart tightened. What did the system mean by this?
He wanted to get off the plane, but he couldn't explain why. He couldn't possibly tell Miao Cuihua that he had a premonition that the plane was in danger, could he?
"What safety precautions? At least give me some warnings!" Liu Yihang was so anxious he wanted to curse.
The system actually replied: "The host can activate mind reading to avoid potential dangers."
Liu Yihang understood that the danger came from people, not the aircraft itself, so he felt relieved.
Following the system prompts, he used mind-reading.
He had a three-day usage right, which could be divided into three uses. He used one day first.
The moment he activated his mind-reading ability, he heard a cacophony of sounds.
"I'm so tired, I'm going to take a nap." That was Miao Cuihua's voice.
"When you go to Europe this time, remember to buy Xiaomei a diamond ring that she likes, so you can propose to her when you get back." This was the voice of the young translator in the back seat.
"I don't think I forgot to tell Xiao Li when we'll be back, did I?" The housekeeper asked anxiously.
…
Although the various sounds were quite noisy, Liu Yihang could tolerate them as long as it ensured his safety; he would get used to them.
With a sudden push, the plane took off into the sky.
The flight lasted about four or five hours without incident.
Liu Yihang's initial nervousness gradually subsided and he calmed down.
Dinner time came quickly.
The plane also entered UAE airspace.
The flight attendants began distributing airplane meals.
Liu Yihang's first-class cabin was the first to be served meals.
There weren't many people in first class, and soon a white flight attendant came up to Liu Yihang.
She smiled warmly and had excellent manners. She first said in a London accent, "Dear sir, what do you need? Please let me know."
He repeated it again in Chinese.
Liu Yihang looked at the menu in his hand, preparing to order.
"Eat, eat, eat more, and it would be best to take a nap and go straight to God."
That damn Ryan, he made me serve these Chinese people. Once I get the money, I'm quitting.
Judging by the time, he and George should have already dealt with the two people in the cockpit, right?
Liu Yihang looked up calmly to confirm. There was only one flight attendant in front of him, so the inner voice he had just heard must have come from her.
Based on what she said, Liu Yihang came to several conclusions: the food she gave to the passengers in front of her was probably problematic; she had at least two companions; and their purpose was likely to hijack the plane.
Liu Yihang never expected that the news he had seen on TV would actually happen to him.
After a moment of silence, Liu Yihang made a quick decision and said to her in broken English, "Can I go to the restroom first?"
