Ye Weiwei said with a charming smile, "Okay, I haven't gambled on stones in a long time. I don't know if my skills have become rusty. I must try it tomorrow."
Zuo Chenglong said with a smile, "Then I will be waiting for you two tomorrow."
He spoke politely, but his eyes swept over Shi Shuangshuang beside Qin Xiao with a meaningful look.
Shi Shuangshuang felt utterly humiliated by being ignored in public, and wished Ye Weiwei would disappear from the world immediately so she wouldn't have to get in her way anymore.
Just as Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei were about to leave, someone rushed out and whispered something in Zuo Chenglong's ear. Zuo Chenglong's expression changed drastically, and his eyes turned gloomy.
"Young Master Yu, Miss Ellie, I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to wait a while before you leave."
Ye Weiwei was puzzled, but Qin Xiao looked at Zuo Chenglong with displeasure, "What do you mean by this?"
At this moment, both of them knew perfectly well that the problem with lot number eight must have been discovered.
However, on the surface, they must pretend to know nothing and distance themselves from the situation.
Zuo Chenglong smiled apologetically: "Something happened. A servant just came to report that one of Mr. Smith's treasures has gone missing, which is why we've kept everyone here."
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Are you suspecting us of having dirty tricks?"
Ye Weiwei tugged at Qin Xiao's sleeve and gently advised, "Since this matter concerns Mr. Smith, let's cooperate. The innocent will clear themselves, and I believe the item will be found soon."
Qin Xiao's dissatisfaction vanished under Ye Weiwei's gentle words. "Alright, I'll do whatever you say."
After saying that, he looked at Zuo Chenglong and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing Qin Xiao's cooperation, Zuo Chenglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Green Dragon Gang is quite large in Hong Kong, the Yu family is, after all, a top family in Hong Kong, and the eldest son of the Yu family is the only heir of the Yu family. If he really doesn't want to cooperate and things get ugly, it will be difficult for him to handle the situation.
"I just need to trouble you and your men to cooperate with a body search and check the things you took."
"You want to search me again?" Qin Xiao sneered, squinting at Zuo Chenglong as he was about to lash out when Ye Weiwei tugged at his sleeve. "Young Master~ I want to go back and rest early. I'm so tired today."
Qin Xiao's anger subsided once again. He looked at Ye Weiwei helplessly, his face full of doting and indulgence: "Alright, alright, let's search her then?"
Ye Weiwei: "I knew you were the best, Young Master Yu."
Qin Xiao tapped the tip of her nose, then looked at Zuo Chenglong, "Let Young Master Zuo personally search me to see if there are any of Mr. Smith's lost treasures. Arrange for a clean-cut lady to help Ellie check."
Zuo Chenglong immediately agreed.
Ai Xue secretly wanted to step forward to help search for Ellie, but Qin Xiao pointed his finger at her and said, "You're not worthy!"
Ai Xue gritted her teeth in anger.
Zuo Chenglong immediately sent someone to find the auction's female host for help.
Soon, everyone in the group had been checked and found to be healthy.
Having confirmed that the item wasn't on them, Zuo Chenglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he had a box brought over: "I apologize for what happened tonight. Miss Ellie took a liking to this little trinket; consider it my apology."
Seeing that he gave away two million yuan worth of things so readily, Ye Weiwei secretly praised Zuo Chenglong for his boldness.
I was originally planning to put this thing into my spatial storage after leaving the banquet, but who knew it would be delivered to my door by itself.
"This is Young Master Zuo's prized possession. A gentleman does not take what others cherish. How could I possibly accept it? Young Master Zuo, you flatter me."
Zuo Chenglong laughed and said, "This kind of thing is only worthy of someone as knowledgeable and appreciative as Miss Ellie. It would be a waste of my talents. If Miss Ellie refuses to accept it, I will assume that you and Young Master Yu still resent me and don't want to forgive me!"
Ye Weiwei looked at Qin Xiao with a troubled expression, but Qin Xiao said nonchalantly, "Since Young Master Zuo is so kind, then accept it. We'll have plenty of time in the future."
Upon hearing that Qin Xiao had forgiven him and even seemed to want to maintain a long-term relationship, Zuo Chenglong's smile became even more genuine, and he quickly had the items delivered to their car.
After saying goodbye to Zuo Chenglong, Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei got into the car. Shi Shuangshuang tried to use the same trick again to sit with them, but Qin Xiao chased her away, saying, "It's getting late. Miss Shi, you're not going the same way as us. Let the driver take you home early so your elders won't worry."
Shi Shuangshuang dared not confront Qin Xiao because of his authority, so she had no choice but to obey and get into another car, where the driver took her home.
After the car drove away from the hotel, the expressions on Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao's faces were no longer as relaxed as before.
Qin Xiao: "Are you sure Second Brother is in the Green Dragon Gang's ore warehouse?"
Ye Weiwei: "I don't know if it's him, but based on the information I've gathered, it's highly likely. And from what they've said, Second Brother's condition is very bad right now, so we need to hurry and rescue him."
Qin Xiao nodded with a solemn expression.
The two did not go straight home, but instead gave instructions to the driver and quietly got off the car halfway.
The driver was a trusted confidant of Yu's father and was extremely loyal to the Yu family, so there was no fear that he would leak information.
If they wanted to infiltrate the Green Dragon Gang to rescue people, they naturally couldn't just go through the motions.
Time was of the essence, and Ye Weiwei didn't have time to think about anything else. She took Qin Xiao directly into the space villa.
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to calm. He took the clothes Ye Weiwei gave him, quickly changed into them, and then took the pistol, grenade, and dagger that Ye Weiwei tossed to him...
Soon the two were fully armed, and with a thought from Ye Weiwei, they left the space.
The security for the banquet was handled by the Green Dragon Gang. After the items were stolen, Zuo Chenglong transferred some more Green Dragon Gang members to help with the search, so the number of guards at the warehouse was reduced by more than half compared to usual, which made it easier for Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei to move around.
Upon arriving at the warehouse, Ye Weiwei unleashed her mental energy to search and quickly found her second brother, Ye Huaijin, lying on the ground, barely breathing, his body mangled and bloody.
Ye Weiwei led Qin Xiao through searches and defenses, reaching the dilapidated warehouse as quickly as possible, and then took her second brother and Qin Xiao directly into the space.
Ye Erge's condition was very bad, so Ye Weiwei told Qin Xiao to rest first, and she took Erge directly to the operating room.
She unleashed her wood-based powers relentlessly until they were completely depleted, finally managing to repair her second brother's damaged internal organs and stabilize his vital signs.
Seeing that her second brother was showing signs of waking up, Ye Weiwei gave him an injection and told him to take a nap.
Despite being injected with drugs, Ye Huaijin's strong willpower kept him awake until Ye Weiwei whispered in his ear, "Second brother, Qin Xiao and I have come to rescue you. You are safe now. Get some sleep, and everything will be alright when you wake up."
