Chapter 532: Carnivorous Mermaid vs. Sickly Merchant (24)
"Watch your step." Yu Chen gentlemanly let Lu Cha take his arm.
Yu Ming stayed outside and waited.
When Yu Chen pushed open the iron door of the factory, a white light suddenly lit up in the dark corridor.
The walls in the corridor were mottled and peeling, and the doors of the rooms on both sides were gone. It was pitch black at a glance, and the environment inside could not be seen clearly, which seemed eerie and gloomy.
Noticing that the surveillance camera in the corner of the corridor was moving as they walked in, Lu Cha raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly saw a figure flash past in the room beside him.
At the same time, the camera turned back to its original position, apparently confirming her and Yu Chen's identities.
Lu Cha probably guessed where Yu Chen brought her to.
Black market auction.
Sure enough, Lu Cha followed Yu Chen to the end of the corridor, and the last door opened automatically, revealing a dazzling light.
Unlike the dilapidated and desolate outside, the interior of the factory has been decorated and looks clean and tidy.
Because all the windows and gaps were sealed with iron plates, no light could penetrate outside the factory.
Several men in black with guns were guarding the area.
The staircase leading to the second floor was blocked by several men in black, who were conducting the final identity verification of the guests.
This is the rule set by the biggest investor in the black market.
This is to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation, whose assets do not meet the minimum standards for participating in the auction, or who has forged a false identity.
After all, the black market mainly makes profits from mermaids, and has been targeted by special departments of Country A for a long time.
If there were no evidence and the auction locations were not fixed, the special departments would have dealt with the black market long ago.
Lu Cha was very curious as he smelled the strong smell of sea water mixed with the scent of mermaids in the air.
What is the villain's plan?
Bringing her to see her fellow tribesmen being tortured is the hope that she will develop a fear of the human world and stop running around?
Or, is there another purpose?
But at this moment, a familiar voice interrupted Lu Cha's thoughts.
"Why can't I go in?!"
The woman standing at the front of the team angrily questioned the man in black.
The man next to her stood with his shoulders tilted and said arrogantly: "Do you know who ours is?!"
Lu Cha was a little surprised.
Oh no!
Aren’t these two bastards An Wenqing and Li Shiyu!
[An Wenqing still wanted to sing, so she brought Li Shiyu to buy a mermaid.] The system explained thoughtfully, sharing the news with its host:
[Li Shiyu's injuries were caused by the villain's bodyguards beating him up not long ago. His ribs are all cracked, and he's been bedridden until now before he can walk.]
[I have to say, the villain finally did something human. ]
Lu Cha nodded in agreement.
And the stairs opposite.
The man in black said to An Wenqing coldly, "Your personal assets are less than 100 million, which does not meet the minimum standard for entering the auction. Please leave immediately with your friends."
Seeing the man in black trying to force her away, An Wenqing became anxious: "I am Yu Chen's sister An Wenqing!"
"I came to the auction last time and bought a mermaid. You can check it out!"
Coincidentally, Uncle Ma, the manager of the black market, received the news that Yu Chen was coming and hurried downstairs to greet him, and happened to hear what An Wenqing said.
"Are you Mr. Yu's sister?"
"Of course." An Wenqing raised her head, pretending to be powerful:
"I'm Yu Chen's only sister. You'd better think carefully about how to treat me."
Although she didn't see Uncle Ma the last time she came to the black market, she enjoyed the best treatment thanks to Yu Chen's name.
Anyway, no one knows what her real relationship with Yu Chen is like, and that sickly guy doesn't go out often, so she's not afraid of being exposed.
Thinking of this, An Wenqing confidently ordered: "Why don't you guys get out of my way?!"
Li Shiyu echoed: "A good dog doesn't block the road."
Uncle Ma couldn't help but look past An Wenqing and towards Yu Chen, who was standing not far behind, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Yu, do you want to invite them in?"
An Wenqing & Li Shiyu: “?!”
An Wenqing turned her head quickly.
When she saw the handsome man, An Wenqing's face turned pale instantly.
Why is Yu Chen here? !
Hasn't he been staying in the old house all this time, not leaving the house?!
Compared to An Wenqing's fear, Li Shiyu was not much better. He was shivering with fear and felt that his wound, which had just healed, was starting to hurt again.
Yu Chen ignored them and took Lu Cha upstairs without even glancing at them. He instructed Uncle Ma:
"Get out."
"Don't disturb the guests coming to the auction."
Uncle Ma nodded and did as he was told.
An Wenqing was about to discuss something with Yu Chen, but before she could even open her mouth, she was covered with her mouth by a man in black and dragged out of the factory, along with Li Shiyu who was beside her.
The two were thrown out of the door directly.
Li Shiyu cried out in pain as he was wounded, and suddenly a cold touch touched his forehead.
The man in black holding the gun said indifferently: "Shut up."
Li Shiyu immediately covered his mouth tightly, indicating that he would not make any sound.
After the men in black left and closed the door, Li Shiyu dared to ask An Wenqing in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
"Go home!" An Wenqing got up from the ground in a bad mood, feeling angry and hateful.
Why is it that Yu Chen's status is so much higher than hers even though they are both members of the An family?!
It’s a pity that I can’t find any evidence against Yu Chen, otherwise I could destroy him!
An Wenqing suddenly thought of the girl who followed Yu Chen.
Not only did she look exactly like the mermaid she lost, but she was also taken to the black market by Yu Chen, who never cared about women...
An Wenqing decided to find someone to investigate the girl's identity.
Maybe I can bribe him and make him hers!
-
The second floor of the factory.
Yu Chen, the largest investor, was taken by Uncle Ma to the position closest to the booth.
There are screens at every location.
Except for the people standing in the booth, no one else can see who is sitting in front of or behind them.
As soon as Lu Cha and Yu Chen sat down, Uncle Ma sent over cakes and tea.
"Mr. Yu, if you have any instructions, please press the call bell on the table and I will come right over."
After saying that, Uncle Ma left tactfully.
Not long.
All the surrounding lights were turned off, leaving only the spotlights above the booth.
The auctioneer who walked onto the stage did not say any tedious opening remarks, but directly signaled the man in black to lift up the special glass water tank.
In the tank is a female mermaid with a blue tail.
Lu Cha paused while eating the cake.
This was the first time she saw a living member of her tribe.
So beautiful!
The mermaid in the water tank also sensed the royal aura, and her empty beautiful eyes instantly flashed with light as she looked at Lu Cha below with surprise.
But in the next second, the mermaid put down her hand pressing on the glass, as if she was worried that Lu Cha's identity would be discovered.
And Lu Cha secretly made a gesture according to the original owner's memory.
This is the mermaids' unique way of communicating when they encounter danger, telling the other party not to be afraid.
Suddenly, a man's soft and gentle voice sounded in Lucha's ears: "What are you doing?"
