Chapter 79: Killing

Yuan Tingchuan put his hand on his waist. A man's voice came from the car window: "I am Mr. Zhong's secretary Wei Yun. Is Mr. Yuan here?"

Yuan Tingchuan held the weapon in his hand, took two steps forward, and recognized that the person getting off the car was Wei Yun, Zhong Lao's personal secretary, who brought about five or six people with him.

Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "Why are you here? But Mr. Zhong is nearby? Let's go together."

Wei Yun said anxiously: "We are trapped in the village ahead by heavy rain. Mr. Zhong has a sudden illness and needs help."

Yuan Tingchuan raised his eyebrows: "We don't have a doctor here. Mr. Zhong has always been in poor health. Didn't he bring a doctor with him? How could he be so careless?"

When Secretary Wei heard that there was no doctor, although it was expected, he was also extremely disappointed. He stamped his feet and said, "We brought a doctor with us, but we encountered robbers during the day and the doctor was seriously injured. He is still unconscious and can't be used."

Yuan Tingchuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you far from here? I have an acquaintance in the front team. I can call him and ask him to send a doctor over, but I can't guarantee that it will work. At least we won't get any news until dawn."

Wei Yun was overjoyed. He said to Yuan Tingchuan, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan. If Mr. Zhong can turn the danger into safety this time, the Zhong family will remember this favor."

Yuan Tingchuan nodded and said, "It's a small favor. Our two families have been friends for many years. There's no need to say thank you. Please come in and wait for a moment."

Wei Yunchong nodded to the people behind him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, put away their vigilance, and planned to go in and rest for a while.

After running around for most of the night and being scared in this ghost place, I finally made it through.

Suddenly, Yuan Tingchuan's left hand pressed Du Ruo's head tightly against his shoulder. Before Du Ruo could react, he heard a gunshot next to his ear, followed by another round of neat gunshots.

Du Ruo's back stiffened and he suddenly turned his head to look back.

Those people had already fallen to the ground. There was a bloody hole on Wei Yun's forehead. His eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be confused until his death.

Du Ruo slowly looked at the gun in Yuan Tingchuan's hand, which he had not yet put away. The man had a smile on his face when he was entertaining the guests just now, and when he met Du Ruo's gaze, his eyes were as dark as ink, deep and unfathomable, just like when they first met.

Yuan Tingchuan didn't explain. He kissed Du Ruo on the forehead, carried her into the car, and drove away quickly.

Everyone quickened their pace along the way and arrived at the hotel next to the Jade Auction venue at noon.

Assistant Bai was waiting in the hotel lobby with a group of people. When he saw Yuan Tingchuan and his friends get off the car, he came over from a distance and asked with a smile, "Is everything going well?"

Then he turned around and said to Du Ruo, "Long time no see, Ms. Du."

Yuan Tingchuan made a gesture, signaling to Special Assistant Bai to arrange for everyone to rest in groups. Du Ruo also went back to his room to rest and called Ling Yun to report that he was safe.

Ling Yun said with caution: "Do you want me to bring someone to pick you up?"

Du Ruo: "No need, the materials have already been shipped back, you just need to help me put them into storage."

Ling Yun frowned: "Be careful."

After hanging up the phone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a hot bath, and lay on the bed. Du Ruo was not sleepy at all. She had already remembered that the Zhong family was finally taken over by Yuan Tingchuan.

It turns out that the boss has already decided to destroy the other person, and his actions are ruthless and decisive. He is really taking advantage of your weakness to kill you, and he does it very efficiently.

Du Ruo felt a little toothache. He really was throwing himself into a tiger's mouth and fighting very hard.

The next morning I received a call from Yuan Tingchuan and was told that I had to go to the hall to look at the raw materials this morning.

Du Ruo looked at his watch, got up, packed up, and went to the restaurant to eat.

Yuan Tingchuan was sitting by the window reading a newspaper. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his tie was tied neatly, and the diamond cufflinks on his shirt cuffs sparkled. He was still the young master Yuan from Hong Kong City.

Du Ruo stood a few steps away with his shoulders folded, looking at him. The temperament of this man really changed with the change of environment. Looking at him now, there was no trace of wildness in him. The suit perfectly concealed his wildness. It was amazing.

Yuan Tingchuan raised his head and gestured to her. Du Ruo walked over to sit opposite him and said, "You look good in this suit."

As if he knew what she meant, the man laughed softly. He covered his face lightly with newspaper and said in a low voice: "At some point, you will see another side of me, often..."

Looking at the flames dancing in the man's eyes, Du Ruo's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, this is not necessary.

Yuan Tingchuan sat up straight. "The raw materials have been packed. The boxes you picked have been marked and shipped back. Why are you in such a hurry? How can I be greedy for your stuff?"

Du Ruo picked up the coffee and took a sip. She was still adapting to the normal civilized world. An orderly life made her feel at ease.

She said, "You only feel safe when you put the things in your own pocket. I will tell my people to collect them."

Yuan Tingchuan laughed, women are just stingy.

He was in a good mood. No matter what the auction was like, the purpose of this trip had been achieved. He had gained a lot and completed the mission successfully.

Du Ruo held the coffee and smiled.

Bai Qing hurriedly came up and reminded: "Mr. Yuan, the time is almost up. If you don't leave now, it may be too late."

Yuan Tingchuan stood up slowly, smoothed the wrinkles of his suit with his hand, motioned for Du Ruo to follow him, and the group walked out of the hotel.

When we arrived at the auction, we saw many people selecting raw materials.

According to the public auction process, you first select the raw materials yourself, set a reserve price, and then bid in the bidding box next to the raw materials. The highest bidder wins.

Yuan Tingchuan took Du Ruo and several other stone gamblers to separate and select. Du Ruo looked around and didn't see Qu Xin. She asked Yuan Tingchuan in surprise: "Didn't anyone from the Qu Group come?"

Yuan Tingchuan looked at the raw materials in front of him and said nonchalantly, "Qu's company has had some financial problems recently, so we are not in the mood to care about these trivial matters."

Small matter? Jade auctions are the biggest channel for stockpiling. If this is considered a small matter, what is a big matter?

It seems that Qu Xin is in a bad situation.

Du Ruo had made an agreement with Yuan Tingchuan in advance that she would only pick her own raw materials, and would help to check if the Yuan Group was unsure about any raw materials.

Du Ruo has a lot of money now, but the investment is also huge. She usually doesn't look at huge raw materials because she can't take them all. She only looks at small and medium-sized raw materials, and those with huge potential.

If the competition was too fierce, she would give up, thinking it was not worth it.

After selecting a few pieces of raw materials, Du Ruo wrote the lowest price and put them in the box. He observed for a while before walking to Yuan Tingchuan.

Yuan Tingchuan handed the list in his hand to Du Ruo: "Take a look."

Du Ruo checked the list one by one, wrote her opinions on it, and handed it to Yuan Tingchuan. She gave her opinion, but the decision-making power was in the hands of the boss.

The raw materials she selected were only preliminarily screened, and the results would be announced after the bidding.
