I went outside.
Wu An and A Qing took off running.
"Did you enjoy it?"
"That felt great! Beating them up like that is even better than hearing about them getting their legs broken." Aqing paused, then said with some concern, "Brother, I've gotten you into trouble."
Wu An rubbed his head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Your issues are never a problem."
"elder brother."
"Get out, get out, and stop crying for me."
"I am moved."
"Let's go back and tell Aunt Juan, so she can be happy too."
The two of them came back.
Wu Yingwei asked, "Did you get things done?"
Wu An nodded: "We beat them up."
Wu Yingwei glared: "Who told you to do things this way?"
Wu An chuckled: "This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all. After I fight them, they definitely won't bother us anymore."
Although we're from the same village, we don't really interact much, so offending someone is fine.
It doesn't matter.
They were already a bit annoyed because of Shen Nan, and then the Luo brothers just happened to run into them.
Let's beat him up and vent our anger at the same time.
Just enjoy it.
Wu Yingwei frowned: "That family is a real handful."
Wu An leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said, "What am I afraid of?"
I have connections in the underworld.
"I also have people in the institute."
"The old man in the village is the village head."
"Ah Qing, who's the most arrogant person in Xiaoxi Village right now?"
Aqing paused for a moment, still pondering the meaning of "arrogant," but quickly and subconsciously replied, "Yes, brother."
"Hey." Wu An took a sip of tea with a smug look on his face.
Wu Yingwei frowned.
Upon closer reflection, damn it, what Wu An said was quite infuriating, but it was indeed the truth.
Aqing took out the video and said, "My brother told me to record a video. Although it didn't capture anything, it can still prove that we were acting in self-defense."
Wu Ping took it and looked at it: "This can't be used as evidence."
Wu An smiled and said, "It can't serve as evidence, nor can it prove that I unilaterally beat up the Luo brothers."
"Anyway, if things get out of hand, we'll just have to deal with it."
"At worst, it'll just be a fight between us."
"He'll be out in a few days at most."
He's not just an ordinary street thug anymore. If things get out of hand, he might not be in trouble, but the Luo brothers will definitely be in big trouble.
Ji Hua's family isn't exactly good people, but they're not stupid either. Once they figure this out, they definitely won't cause trouble.
Li Juan's eyes reddened as she listened.
Wu An appeared calm and collected, knowing that she owed a huge favor.
"Aqing is so lucky to have a brother like you. He's been blessed for generations."
"Auntie, we're family, we're not strangers."
"Um."
"Um?"
Wu Yingwei smoked a cigarette, pondering Wu An's words. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
They had to go out early the next morning, so they didn't chat too late. After packing up, Aunt Juan and Aqing got up and left.
...
Early in the morning.
Wu An opened his eyes, checked the time on his phone, and saw it was only 6:30 in the morning. The sun had already risen. He drew back the curtains, and the sunlight instantly bathed him. He had slept very well and felt refreshed after waking up.
I've finished washing up.
My sister-in-law had already put breakfast on the table; it was steaming hot and looked very appetizing.
I've had breakfast.
Gao Qiangqi arranged for A Jin to drive over in a car, and Wu Yingwei, Aunt Juan, and A Qing rode in his car.
His elder brother and sister-in-law were with him.
Gu Anran drove.
We had originally invited the old lady, but walking around the city would be tiring, and she might not be able to handle it. Plus, she wasn't willing to go, so we gave up on that idea.
Besides his own family, Wu An also called Old Fu and asked him to come to the auction together.
Old Fu said he had something to do and wouldn't be coming.
Upon arriving in the city, we headed straight to the seafood market.
The market was huge. After parking the car, Ajin led them for quite a while before they arrived at the site.
The auction has begun.
Ah Jin gave his name, and someone at the door, who had been instructed to wait for them, gave each person an admission pass with a number on it, allowing them to participate in the auction.
The auction was held inside the seafood market.
There is a special hall.
The decor is so-so.
It's not very clean either.
After all, it's a seafood business, and no matter how much you tidy it up, it can't be as efficient as a proper auction.
Not long after.
Gao Qiangqi came over, greeted everyone, and made sure no one was left out.
"Is it alright?"
"generally."
"You're the one who tells the truth. For a hastily organized event, you've managed to turn it into something quite impressive."
"Brother Qiang is amazing."
Wu An looked around and saw that the area was mainly divided into two sections: a fresh section, which mainly contained shrimp and crabs, since these are very resilient, and a chilled section, where the bluefin tuna he had caught was the most eye-catching.
Clearly, this blue fin is the highlight of today's auction.
Hopefully, it will fetch an astronomical price.
Wu An muttered to himself, and after looking around, he found quite a few good things. In the chilled food section, he even saw large yellow croakers, which were so eye-catching that he couldn't take his eyes off them. Moving towards the live food section, he saw all kinds of grouper, red grouper, rat grouper, abalone, sea cucumber, lobster, zebra mantis shrimp, and many other common species. Some of them looked strange, not to mention the rarer ones. If it weren't for the labels, Wu An wouldn't even be able to name them.
Some even have staff members to provide explanations.
Of course, this explanation wasn't given for nothing; the purpose was simply to attract more bidders so that the seafood could fetch a higher price.
Not only Wu An was impressed, but everyone else was also very interested. Whether it was for sale or not was not important; they had all learned something new.
They were together at first, but they drifted apart. Wu An tried to look for them at first, but later he stopped caring.
They're all adults, they won't get lost.
The items auctioned at the beginning were all quite ordinary and not very interesting.
The prices of crayfish and mantis shrimp are only slightly higher than the market price. People aren't stupid; they're not going to participate in the auction to be ripped off. However, when it comes to the auction of rare and valuable catches, the situation is different.
The bidding was significantly more intense.
Wu An saw that it would be a long time before the Bluefin was auctioned off. He had gone to bed early yesterday and was in a hurry to leave this morning, so he hadn't had time to take care of his personal hygiene. He asked a staff member for directions to the second floor to use the restroom.
I had just sat down when I heard the door being kicked open forcefully.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came: "Yes, we can do without the other catches, but we must take that bluefin bream!"
"Fujino-kun has been talking about this for a long time. If I get this blue fin and give it to him, he will definitely be very happy."
"The benefits will be enormous at that time."
"Bring me the card."
"Immediately, right away."
Immediately following was a series of intermittent, sparse sounds of urination.
It's probably a prostate problem.
Wu An secretly opened the door, saw Jing He, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Damn it.
Is he trying to sell his fish to please his family?
