Yuan Tingchuan's hand touched his waist. A man's voice came from the car window: "I am Wei Yun, the secretary of Mr. Zhong. 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 in the village ahead and are blocked by heavy rain. Mr. Zhong has suddenly fallen ill 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?"
Secretary Wei was surprised but also extremely disappointed when he heard he had no doctor. He stamped his feet and said, "We did bring a doctor, but we encountered robbers during the day. The doctor was seriously injured and is still unconscious. He's of no use."
Yuan Tingchuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you far from here? I have an acquaintance in the team ahead. I can call him and ask him to send a doctor over, but I can't guarantee it will work. We won't get any news until daybreak."
Wei Yun was overjoyed. He said to Yuan Tingchuan, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan. If Mr. Zhong can save this dangerous situation, the Zhong family will remember this favor."
Yuan Tingchuan nodded and said, "It's just a small favor. Our two families have been friends for many years, so there's no need to express your gratitude. Please come in and wait for a moment."
Wei Yun 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 pressed Du Ruo's head tightly against his shoulder with his left hand. 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 that he had not yet put away. The man had not completely stopped smiling when he was entertaining guests. 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, put his arm around her, got into the car, and sped away.
Everyone quickened their pace and arrived at the hotel next to the jade auction venue by noon.
Special Assistant Bai and the others were waiting in the hotel lobby. When they saw Yuan Tingchuan and the others get out of the car, they 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, indicating to 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's tone was cautious: "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, Du Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a hot bath, and lay on the bed. She was not sleepy at all. She had remembered that the Zhong family was finally taken over by Yuan Tingchuan.
It turns out that the boss now has the intention to destroy the other person, and his move is ruthless and decisive. He is really taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and he does it very efficiently.
Du Ruo felt a little toothache. He was really walking on the edge of a tiger's mouth and was really trying his best.
The next morning, I received a call from Yuan Tingchuan, and he told me 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 for dinner.
Yuan Tingchuan was sitting by the window reading a newspaper. He was dressed in a suit and tie, with the diamond cufflinks on his shirt cuffs sparkling. He was still the young master Yuan from Hong Kong City.
Du Ruo hugged his shoulders, stood a few steps away, and looked at him. The temperament of this man really changed with the change of the environment. Looking at him now, there was no trace of his wildness. A suit perfectly concealed his wildness. It was really amazing.
Yuan Tingchuan raised his head and gestured to her. Du Ruo walked over and sat down opposite him. "Your suit looks nice."
As if he knew what she meant, the man chuckled softly. He covered his face slightly with the 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 little bit of 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, "I feel safer when I have the things in my pocket. I'll tell my people to collect them."
Yuan Tingchuan laughed, women are just stingy.
He was in a good mood. No matter what happened at the public auction, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, he had gained a lot, and completed the task successfully.
Du Ruo held the coffee and smiled.
Bai Qing hurriedly came up and reminded: "Mr. Yuan, the time is almost up. If we don't leave now, it might be too late."
Yuan Tingchuan stood up slowly, stroked the wrinkles of his suit with his hand, motioned for Du Ruo to follow him, and the group walked out of the hotel.
When I arrived at the public auction, I saw many people selecting raw materials.
According to the public auction process, you first select the raw materials yourself, set a reserve price, and bid it 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, "The Qu family has had financial problems recently and is in no mood to worry about these trivial matters."
A small matter? Jade public auctions are the largest channel for stockpiling jade. 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 agreed with Yuan Tingchuan in advance that she would only pick her own raw materials, and would help to review any raw materials that Yuan Group was unsure about.
Du Ruo has quite a bit of money now, but her investment is also huge. She generally doesn't look at huge raw materials because she can't handle them all. She only looks at small and medium-sized raw materials, and those with huge potential.
If it was too competitive, she would give up, thinking it was not worth it.
After selecting a few pieces of raw materials, Du Ruo wrote the reserve 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 down her opinions on it, and handed it to Yuan Tingchuan. She had given her opinions, and 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.
