Added 3
Time flies and it is already May. It is already summer in Hong Kong in May. Yu Yao still feels a little hot even when wearing a cool skirt.
In the past two days, when they had nothing to do, they stayed at home and organized the information they collected together.
The previously agreed plan to check on those people has been put on hold for the time being.
Because they seemed to be being targeted, the two were not afraid. If those people dared to come up and do something, the two would just make them come back standing up and lie down.
What they are most worried about is that their mission will be exposed.
Manager Shi has received news that the mysterious boss of Fu Shengyuan has agreed to her proposal, but the other party obviously knows that this is not an easy matter, so he needs a budget quotation.
"Why did the boss not even show up for such a big project?"
Although his Fu Sheng Yuan is very rich, Yu Yao thinks that the other party should not fail to see the prospects of the business complex. Yu Yao even believes that if he seeks cooperation with Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun will definitely pay attention to him. Is this person richer than Mr. Sun? Or does this person know me very well and think that I can only have him?
His behavior really made Yu Yao a little angry. She thought that once she achieved some results, the other party would definitely look up to her.
I'm really being led by the nose.
Gu Qing certainly couldn't guess why. "I'll go ask them later to see how their investigation is going. But it's really strange. Now we can at least guess a little. This person's identity may not be public, or his identity does not allow him to do this business."
Such speculation is really useless. Even if it is true, it is undoubtedly like picking up a needle in a haystack for Yu Yao and the others to find that person.
"Or just find someone to follow Manager Shi." Although this is not very ethical, Manager Shi is already a suspect, and so is the person behind the scenes.
He is just like the person they are looking for, and they may find out the truth and get some unexpected benefits.
Gu Qing: "I have asked someone to follow him. This is the best way to find the person behind him."
Yu Yao raised her hands to her head and slouched, "No, I have to take a lunch break. This budgeting work is really not a job for humans."
There are so many things to consider, from construction to investment attraction to later publicity, promotion and maintenance. The current industries are not detailed enough and there are no professional talents, so professional schools are still necessary.
Yu Yao is thinking about whether she should open a vocational school in the future to serve her own company.
The thoughts in her mind changed every day, and the things that had no trace at all were quickly put behind her.
Lying on the bed, with the old-fashioned fan whirring in the room, Yu Yao's hair was blown back and forth, and she finally felt comfortable.
At this time, Gu Qing sat where she had just sat and read what she had written. "I should be able to do this, too. I'll help you. You can check it out when the time comes."
Gu Qing didn't plan to help at first. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he felt that he didn't have Yu Yao's ability and was worried that he would make things worse. But there was no reason to tire Yu Yao out when the two of them hadn't made much progress on their mission. "You should get some good sleep first."
Yu Yao murmured in response, "Call me later, don't let me sleep too long, or I'll get dizzy."
"Okay." Gu Qing quickly took a piece of white paper and started writing.
Listening to the rustling sound, Yu Yao slowly closed her eyes.
I don't know how long it was before she suddenly said, "Someone's coming again."
"What?" Gu Qing thought she was talking in her sleep, but Yu Yao had already sat up.
She made a gesture to silence everyone and pointed in the direction of the yard.
Gu Qing frowned and sat down next to Yu Yao. He didn't expect these people to be so bold as to cause trouble in broad daylight.
"Could I have heard it wrong?" he asked.
This is so blatant, he really has no scruples!
Yu Yao shook her head. She could hear that someone really came.
One of the reasons they chose to live here was that it was relatively remote. It was not because they were short of money, but because it was convenient for them to do things. The vegetation here was also relatively lush, and the scenery was excellent. There was a small forest between the two small houses.
If those people came out of the woods and climbed over the wall, it would be difficult for outsiders to find them, unless they were specifically watching them.
The two waited for a while, but Gu Qing still didn't hear anything. He wondered if Yu Yao was in a daze, "I'll go out and take a look."
"I'll go with you. The person has already left."
The small villa is a typical European-style building. The wall is a combination of a wall and an iron fence. It is beautiful and also more convenient for those who climb over the wall to enter.
After what happened that night, Yu Yao and his friend deliberately did not clean the dust on the courtyard wall. When they went downstairs, they saw some subtle marks on the wall. "Someone really came. Why..."
Before Gu Qing could finish his words, he felt himself being thrown away by a huge force. Then he heard a thud and a brick fell to the ground. At the same time, a poisonous snake with intricate patterns was also knocked down, which made Gu Qing's scalp numb.
"That's too much." He pulled Yu Yao back a few steps, "Be careful."
Is this house no longer habitable? If there are such attacks every day, their situation will be very bad. If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet. If they are accidentally caught one day, I am afraid they will lose their lives here.
Suddenly, Gu Qing felt that Yu Yao pinched him hard, and then there was a bang, which startled the birds in the woods.
"Catch him." Yu Yao opened the gate and rushed out, followed closely by Gu Qing. Soon, the two caught the wretched man who was about to escape.
The man saw fear in the two men's eyes.
He had done many things like this, but this was the first time he failed. He didn't even know what went wrong. How did the woman produce a brick and happen to smash his baby to death?
How did she find me when I was standing so discreetly? How come she was such an accurate shooter?
And my movements were so light, how did they discover me and run downstairs so quickly?
Although there were many things he couldn't understand, he knew he had hit a wall.
"Please spare my life, I...I didn't do it. Someone paid me. I'll tell you everything. Please don't kill me!"
Gu Qing kicked him and said coldly, "Let's talk inside."
How could the man dare to disobey? The hole on his thigh was still bleeding and big drops of sweat were dripping down. Soon his clothes were soaked with sweat.
When they arrived at the main hall of the villa, he was thrown on the ground like a dead dog. Gu Qing asked, "What's your name and where are you from?"
"My name is Hu Chai, and I'm from Kowloon Walled City."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at the man and woman in front of him, and in his heart he resented the people who came to see him.
"Do you have anything that can prove your identity?"
Hu Chai shook his head, and when he met Gu Qing's eyes, he tremblingly took out an ID from his bag. This was Gangcheng's identity certificate. The man's name was in the middle of the red form, and his height was even shown in the photo.
And the name column says his name is Hu Lie.
"You think I can't read?"
"No, no, no, my name is Hu Lie, and they all call me Hu Chai."
Gu Qing didn't care what his name was, he just wanted to scare him.
"What do you do?"
"I... raise snakes."
Gu Qing just stared at him without saying a word. The cold look in Hu Chai's eyes made him feel even more hurt. People in their line of work really have no professional ethics. If they had professional ethics, they would not hurt others.
But they were doing some shady things in private, so he was a little afraid to tell the truth when he was not sure of Yu Yao and the other person's stance. But now his life is about to be lost, and telling the truth may save his life.
Frightened by Gu Qing's gaze, he quickly explained his origins.
He was a member of the Kowloon Walled City Hu Gang. Their gang was very famous throughout Hong Kong, not because the team was so large, but because everyone in their gang had some skills. His skill was raising snakes, and he made a lot of money by using snakes to scare, teach, and kill people.
In Hong Kong City, as long as he is paid enough, he can go anywhere and harm anyone.
The person who asked him to come this time was a man, a martial artist. The man did not say who he was, and there was nothing special about him.
"He looks good." After saying this, he looked at Gu Qing and added, "But he is still a little worse than you, sir."
Gu Qing would not care about the flattery of such people, and said: "You'd better think about what characteristics he has. When did you leave Kowloon Walled City?"
"I just got here yesterday. I came here today after meeting with the other party. He said that you usually don't go out after lunch."
Fuck his mother, isn’t this a scam?
Gu Qing and Yu Yao looked at each other. If that was the case, the person who appeared that night was not Hu Chai.
"Okay, then think about what that person looks like first. If you figure it out, we'll let you go."
"Really?" Hu Chai could certainly think of it, but he just didn't know how to describe it. "If he stood in front of me, I would definitely recognize him."
"His hair is short, but a little longer than yours, his face is a little longer than yours, and his eyes are smaller than yours..."
He kept staring at Gu Qing and kept talking about his impression of the financial sponsor.
Yu Yao also kept looking at Gu Qing and wrote down what he said.
However, Yu Yao and others did not hold out much hope. After all, most people would not do such a thing on their own.
But knowing more about that person will at least help you not be at a loss when you see him/her.
"By the way, he has a tattoo here. Although I can't tell what it is, it's definitely there." Hu Chai touched his collarbone.
Finally, I said something useful.
Gu Qing looked at Yu Yao: "Is there anything else you need to ask?"
Yu Yao shook her head, "Go ahead. You'd better hurry back to your Kowloon Walled City after you get out. Otherwise, if you get killed and silenced, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Hu Chai shuddered. He didn't expect that these two people would really let him go. Before leaving, they even gave him some suggestions.
He did want to ask for the balance, but seeing that guy, he didn't think he was someone to be trifled with, so forget it, it was his bad luck.
Holding on to the ground, he stood up with some difficulty, then took out a small jar from his bag and placed it on the table beside him, "This is for repelling poisonous insects, thank you." After saying that, he stepped back tentatively, turned around and walked out quickly, as if he was worried that Yu Yao and the others would regret it.
However, when he carried his baby's body out of the house, he didn't see any movement from the two people inside, so he ran away in a hurry.
After the people walked away, Yu Yao went to the door to check and make sure there was nothing unusual before closing the door.
The gunshots just now did not attract the attention of the people around. They might not have thought that it was real gunshots, or they might have thought about it but did not dare to come out to see the excitement.
This was exactly what Yu Yao wanted.
"Who do you think wants to harm us?" Yu Yao asked.
Releasing poisonous snakes is a way to kill them!
Gu Qing pursed his lips and did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "They are probably not in the same group as the people that night. The people that night were probably after the jade pendant, but if we are not careful today, we will all be dead."
Yu Yao did not comment.
Gu Qing raised his head and met her somewhat lazy eyes. He suddenly realized that Yu Yao had changed a lot now. She was not the same person as the country girl in patched clothes. But her eyes had not changed and were still so lively.
"This time it might be my fault. I think it was that Sun Lanyun."
Just as Yu Yao thought, the woman followed them here, and her eyes were filled with malice.
As the third child in the Sun family, she has two older brothers. All three of them were born to Mr. Sun’s original wife, who has passed away now. However, she obviously has a place in Mr. Sun’s heart.
It is rumored that Mr. Sun loves his eldest son, fifth son and youngest son the most, and is indifferent to his second son born to his first wife. However, his eldest son and third daughter have a very good relationship.
According to common sense, the heir of Fangyuan Group will most likely be born from the eldest son and the second son. Now both of them work in Fangyuan Group, but their power is very different.
The eldest son, Sun Chengyao, is now the general manager of the head office. It can be said that he is the most powerful person except Mr. Sun, while the second son, Sun Chenglin, only controls a subsidiary. The difference in scale is definitely huge.
But it is worth mentioning that this subsidiary is exactly Mr. Sun’s favorite specialty industry, book printing.
Because of the love and care of her father and elder brother, Sun Lanyun is quite fearless, like a spoiled little princess.
But this is very strange. If a capable person truly loves his children, would he really raise them to be like this?
But Yu Yao doesn't care about these. Even if Mr. Sun really dotes on this little princess, she will not be lenient in taking revenge. Allowing such a person to continue to be arrogant will only cause more people to suffer.
"Then what should we do?" Yu Yao's only concern was that she might be caught by someone and cause suspicion, or even ruin their mission. She thought so and told Gu Qing.
Gu Qing tapped his fingers on the table. He looked at the small jar and said, "Aren't we all arranged to be people now? According to the people we arranged before, we shouldn't be soft-hearted when encountering such a thing, right?"
He is not a person with a good temper normally, and all the people who care about his family have one thing in common, which is protecting their shortcomings.
Since Sun Lanyun dared to take action against their family, don't blame him for being rude.
Over there, Sun Lanyun thought she had solved a problem and was having a beauty treatment in a beauty salon in a happy mood. Suddenly, her nose started to itch and she sneezed, startling the beautician next to her.
"What is this? Why is the air conditioner on so cold? Hurry up and turn it up a bit. If I get sick, I'll make you suffer."
"Yes, yes, yes." This Miss Sun is a big customer of the beauty salon. Even if she wants to pick the moon down and use it as a facial mask, let alone turn up the air-conditioning temperature, they have to find a way. They must not offend her.
But her temper is really hard to deal with.
When she returned to her villa after finishing her beauty treatment, Qingyan was already at home. Without waiting for him to say anything, she went straight up to him.
The bag in her hand fell off, followed by her skirt, shoes, and underwear. Before she even had time to return to the room, she heard the blushing and heart-pounding voices of two people at the door.
Today, Qingyan is like a ferocious beast, with a different ferocity than before.
All the noise stopped, Sun Lanyun nestled in Qingyan's arms but couldn't help but act like a young lady, "What are you doing crazy today? Do you want me to die?"
Qingyan kissed her forehead, his tone deliberately humble, "How dare I, it's just that the Third Miss is too charming."
If Sun Lanyun could see his eyes, she would know how dangerous this man was.
However, at this moment, Sun Lanyun was pleased. Her smooth thighs were placed on Qingyan's legs, which stimulated the other party to react again. But when Qingyan was about to attack her again, she stopped him.
"You idiot, are you still angry about what happened the other day? Look at how petty you are."
That day she just showed some affection for a man on the street, and this man became jealous. Even after she said she would deal with those two men, he still didn't let her go.
Of course she likes to be jealous occasionally. After all, which woman doesn't like the feeling of being competed for by men?
But if you keep dwelling on this matter, it will be annoying.
"Qingyan, you need to be clear about your identity."
He was just a toy and a bed partner of hers.
Sun Lanyun understood from a young age that even though she was her father's favorite daughter, she could not decide her own marriage. She needed to marry a wealthy man of equal status to consolidate the status of the Sun family.
But this certainly won't affect her having other men outside, and even her future marriage partner shouldn't even think about controlling her.
Then people outside can't control her at all.
Qingyan's eyes turned deep, but his tone was still respectful, "I know, Third Miss, but that thing may not have succeeded." When he said this, Qingyan's aura suddenly turned cold.
"What's the matter?" Sun Lanyun also lost her composure, "Why are you so useless? You can't even deal with two country bumpkins. What's the use of you?" After saying that, she kicked Qingyan off the bed.
Qingyan was naked, but still stood obediently under the bed. He didn't know what was going on. The Third Miss had asked him to find someone to scare the two men. It didn't matter whether the man was saved or the woman lived or died.
After hearing her instructions, Qingyan knew that the Third Miss still had feelings for that man. She had never wanted to let those two people live from the beginning. She had a good idea and would put all the blame on Hu Chai when the time came.
What I didn’t expect was that now that Hu Chai was missing, he hadn’t even come to pay the balance, and there was no news that anything had happened to the two men, so something must have gone wrong with Hu Chai.
He told Hu Chai everything he knew, but slightly changed his instructions to Hu Chai.
"Do they have such ability?" Sun Lanyun chuckled, "I underestimated those two country bumpkins."
After thinking for a while, Sun Lanyun said, "Well, just go and tie those two up for me. I want to see how capable they are."
"Yes, Miss Three."
When Sun Lanyun opened her eyes, she saw Qingyan's body that was like that of a male model, and the green snake on his left chest. She looked for a long time and then moved her eyes downward. Sun Lanyun's smile deepened.
"Miss San, please let me serve you."
Sun Lanyun was no longer angry. She hooked her finger at him, and the two of them rolled together again.
"You have to get it done for me."
"yes……"
The two of them didn't think about where Hu Chai had gone.
If their people had paid more attention, they would have noticed what happened outside the small villa today, but they were too arrogant and looked down on mainlanders.
Hu Chai, who was completely forgotten by them, had just recovered from his leg. He originally wanted to listen to Gu Qing and go back to Kowloon Walled City immediately, but the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He, Hu Chai, had been in Hong Kong for so long, when had he ever suffered such a loss?
I was unwilling to accept the situation and started to get anxious and angry. However, the wound became infected directly. With the severe fever, I had no choice but to stay in the clinic for another night.
When he woke up in a daze, a terrifying face appeared in front of him.
His pupils shrank, and he rubbed his eyes with his hands. When he realized that he was not dreaming, he trembled and said, "Sir, I... do you have anything else to ask me?"
"There is indeed something that needs your help." Gu Qing's tone was not as frightening as it had been during the day, but Hu Chai was frightened to death by his initial impression.
Gu Qing didn't care about his reaction and said to himself, "I have asked someone to give you good medicine. Your legs won't become crippled. When you get better, I want you to do something. Don't worry, I will pay you. I will pay you twice as much as that person paid you. Just do it for me."
Hu Chai was a little timid, but he was not stupid. He immediately understood what Gu Qing meant. "Sir, do you know who is behind this?"
Gu Qing did not deny it, but only asked: "Do you want to do it?"
"Of course, in our line of work we will do it as long as we are paid." There was one more thing he didn't say. Someone had to pay for the injury he suffered. He couldn't afford to offend the man in front of him, so he could only vent his anger on others.
However, at this time, the man in front of him said, "But you have to be careful. You have come into contact with that person, so you should know that he is not someone you can easily mess with. If you are caught by them, your fate will not be as simple as it is now."
Gu Qing said this while looking at his legs.
After being looked at like this, Hu Chai felt his legs hurt even more. What kind of evil had happened to him?
He had been about to back off, but then he heard Gu Qing's voice again, "Anyway, life is the most important thing. Choose the right time. If it doesn't work, run away. This is the reward. If it's not enough, come back to me when you succeed. Be careful, don't hurt me."
Hu Chai looked at the money he had put aside in a daze, until everyone left, he slowly came to his senses.
Looking at the surrounding environment again, why did he move to a new place?
This place is much cleaner and tidier than the small clinic he went to.
After a while, he made a decision that he would not back down this time and he had to complete the task.
Of course, what Gu Qing said was intentional; he just grasped human nature.
It can be seen that Hu Chai is not a good person, but it is not possible to say that he is a wicked person. However, this is only from his psychological point of view, and his behavior is naturally that of a wicked person.
To put it bluntly, people like him have no concept of right and wrong, good and evil. He grew up in a chaotic environment like Kowloon Walled City and saw too many dirty and evil things, so he thinks that evil is normal. He does nothing wrong if he pays money to get things done, even if the things he does are murder.
But at the same time, people like them usually talk about so-called loyalty. If others respect them one foot, they will respect them ten feet. However, in Gu Qing's view, their so-called loyalty is just a fig leaf for their evil deeds.
They have done so many bad things, but they don't want to admit that they are really bad people.
They will say, see, in fact, they are not evil people at all, no one is born evil, they are all forced to do so, if they did not live in such a dark place, why would they do such evil things? And they are different from those so-called righteous and sanctimonious people, at least they dare to take responsibility for their actions, and will not say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
However, no matter how many excuses they make, they cannot cover up their crimes; evil is evil.
Of course, some people can remain untainted by the mud, and good bamboo may also produce bad bamboo shoots. Nothing is absolute.
Hu Chai is obviously the type of person who is most affected by the environment.
It can be seen from the fact that he put the powder on the table that he has his own judgment and his own set of behavioral codes. As long as Gu Qing shows goodwill to him, he will be willing to repay Gu Qing.
The reason why he had such thoughts must be that he had encountered something. Maybe he should be pitied, but Gu Qing would not pity a person who did so many evil things. It's just that in this port city, it's not Hu Chai's turn to educate him.
As for whether Hu Chai could succeed, Yu Yao and the others did not actually hold out much hope. Success would be good, as they would have gotten rid of a scourge for the people. Failure would also be good as it would make the other party feel disgusted and let the other party see that they were not people who could be bullied at will.
Everything was peaceful in the next few days. There was only one thing that confused Yu Yao, and that was Manager Shi's attitude.
He seemed not very interested in the idea of a business complex that he had proposed, which somewhat undermined Yu Yao's self-confidence.
But Yu Yao didn't care too much. As he said before, even without them, Yu Yao felt that he could find partners.
It wasn't long before the day of Fangyuan Group's charity dinner arrived, and Yu Yao didn't have much energy to think about anything else.
The charity dinner is scheduled for the 9th, and there will be Mr. Sun’s exhibition on the 22nd.
After getting to know each other over this period of time, Yu Yao has almost understood the difference between the two.
There may be good things at the charity dinner, but this dinner is for the outside world, which means that it is more for promoting Fangyuan Group and putting on a show for the outside world. At the same time, it also provides an opportunity for communication and cooperation for those who attend the dinner.
Mr. Sun likes the exhibition himself. It will be held in his personal name. He will represent Fangyuan Group in front of outsiders, but in fact it is his personal behavior. Whether to invite the media to visit the exhibition will depend on his opinion.
May 5th.
Yu Yao and Gu Qing both dressed up nicely. They would definitely meet more people from the antique circle this time, so they naturally had to dress up.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, the two set out from the small villa and it took about 20 minutes for them to arrive at the venue of the charity dinner, which was the Fangyuan Hotel under the Fangyuan Group.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she could see luxury cars one after another, which made Yu Yao feel like she had returned to the afterlife. She had never seen such a grand scene in the afterlife. Perhaps all the luxury cars in the entire Hong Kong city were gathered here?
There were very few people who came without even a driver like them, but no one dared to look down on them. Just look at the luxury car. Not everyone can afford it, even those who come to attend the charity dinner. Even if they can afford it, they may not be able to buy it, and they may not be willing to spend the money. In addition, the appearance and temperament of these two people are enough to make people look up to them. So many people asked them privately who they were from?
Most people in Hong Kong's wealthy circles have never seen the two of them, so everyone speculated whether this was another illegitimate child from abroad who had returned to grab the inheritance rights. It's no wonder that they have such a rich imagination, there are simply too many such things.
However, the two have been around Hong Kong for so long that some people have seen them. At least, it is known that they have a good relationship with Ding Jue and Fu Shengyuan.
Yu Yao and the other person didn't pay attention to the looks of others. After entering, they sat in their seats. From the looks of them, it seemed as if they had participated in such activities countless times.
This charity dinner still starts with the auction, and after the auction there is the formal dinner, which is a time for everyone to make friends.
It is said that there will be ten collections at the auction, but the collections have not been made public. Only sources have revealed that the starting price of the top collection is 880,000.
Yu Yao felt that the news should be true. There is no smoke without fire and rumors do not appear without reason.
Moreover, the spread of such rumors has no impact on the Fangyuan Group. It has no advantages or disadvantages. Why would they do such a thing?
But the rumors have no effect. The news itself is useful. News will lead to discussion, which can create momentum for this charity dinner and bring more popularity to Fangyuan Group. If the charity dinner ends perfectly, Fangyuan Group's stock will rise again.
Therefore, it is very likely that this news was deliberately leaked from within the Fangyuan Group.
These little tricks in the mall are still easy to guess.
Yu Yao and his friend were not very interested in these twists and turns, but they were very interested in the antiques with a starting price of 880,000 yuan.
The two of them arrived not too early and their seats were relatively far back, which gave them the opportunity to take a close look at the people participating in the auction.
All the people who had gathered at Ding Jue's house that day were naturally there. They did not sit together, but were scattered among the crowd.
"Everyone, welcome to this charity dinner. Next, we would like to invite Mr. Sun, the chairman of Fangyuan Group, to say a few words to everyone."
Just as everyone was applauding, Yu Yao glanced and her eyes suddenly stopped at the security guard on the left side of the stage.
"Look at your half past ten direction, does that person look like..." Yu Yao whispered in Gu Qing's ear, but did not finish the words.
They tried their best to avoid mentioning what happened before in Guangzhou so as not to reveal any flaws.
If someone investigated their whereabouts in recent days, they would definitely be suspicious of them, but as long as they did not reveal anything about Yangcheng's past, no matter how they investigated, they would not be able to link them to anything related to the mission.
Although the security guard in the corner was dressed up, Yu Yao recognized him at a glance. It was Su Tuan, whom they had not seen for many days.
Gu Qing quickly retracted his gaze, squeezed Yu Yao's hand, and said, "It's him."
Sure enough, they were not the only two who were completing the mission by getting close to Fangyuan Group, but Su Lin was probably in danger of doing so.
"Should we contact him?" Yu Yao asked uncertainly.
Because of what happened to You Ling and Chen Chen, they were almost certain that Su Tuan would not be a traitor to the organization, but they did not know Su Tuan's plan, nor did they know who he had contact with.
Gu Qing thought the same as Yu Yao. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's not do that. We split up to reduce casualties. It's better to be safe than sorry. We should act at our own pace."
Gu Qing had a hunch that it might not take too long for the two of them to find that person. As for the antiques, they would take back as many as they could. Anyway, they would try their best.
He would not underestimate the capabilities of the Su Tuan, and there was no need for them to disrupt the Su Tuan's plans.
Mr. Sun said some opening remarks, which soon ended with applause, and the auction began.
The first piece of collection was a jade ring, which was said to be from the Qing Dynasty imperial palace. It was finally sold for 80,000 yuan.
Next are painted pottery, hairpins, crabapple fans, white-glazed sheep, as well as Qing imitation blue and white porcelain, rosewood boxes, incense tubes, and modern calligraphy.
The prices of these collections are not too high, and the most expensive one sold for no more than 330,000 yuan.
Gu Qing also symbolically raised his paddle when the hairpin and calligraphy appeared. He did not bid much and gave up after a few rounds, giving people the feeling that he was somewhat interested but not very interested, and a little stingy.
But there were many people present and not many people paid attention to them. Naturally, everyone was more concerned about the final winner and the final collection.
"Everyone, we know that everyone is looking forward to the next collection, so we won't keep you waiting. Please take a look at this porcelain bowl with enamel peony from the Qianlong period. This porcelain bowl is still in the typical painting style of the Qianlong period. The peony is lifelike, but the most exquisite thing is still the craftsmanship of the porcelain bowl. The body of this bowl is fine and pure milky white... The starting price is 880,000."
"Nine hundred and eighty thousand!"
"One million and eighty thousand!"
Gu Qing held up the sign.
"One million, one hundred and eighty thousand!"
…
This was Yu Yao's first time attending a live auction. She had already felt the tension in the previous auctions. Although she and Gu Qing were not interested in those items, they were apparently still very popular in this auction.
This piece of collection has even reached the level of being sought after by many people.
Most of the people who come here have enough money to spend one or two million, and since everyone loves antiques, they naturally want to take good things home, so the competition is particularly fierce.
In just a moment of distraction, the bidding had reached two million, and Gu Qing bid two million.
Soon someone raised the price again, and the auction of this collection had not even reached its climax yet.
Yu Yao's palms had already begun to sweat.
Yes, this porcelain bowl from the Qianlong period is still what they are looking for, and no matter what, they should take it back.
As long as they could get this porcelain bowl, their mission wouldn't be considered a complete failure even if they went back immediately.
However, the two of them would definitely not go back just like that, so taking the porcelain bowl would have another purpose, which was to allow the two of them to completely enter the upper circle of Hong Kong City.
But the two of them only have two million in assets, which means that if Gu Qing wins the bid for the porcelain bowl today, they will have to earn the money from the next bid within seven days.
Yu Yao was already thinking in her mind whether she should just steal the bowl after the auction. In this way, not only could they take the item back, but they could also make a fortune, and T's show today could be considered a success.
With a more reassured mind, Yu Yao was no longer so panicked.
More and more eyes were focused on these two people, mainly because these two people were not only unknown in the wealthy circle of Hong Kong City, but had never appeared in various auction houses. Yet they dared to snatch things from the well-known figures in the circle. They were all guessing their identities.
Soon there were only four people bidding.
Two of them were wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong like Mr. Sun, and the other was a painter, Mr. Guo, whom Yu Yao and his friends had only recently met.
"Two million eight hundred thousand!"
"Three million!"
"Three million and two hundred thousand!"
…
When the bid reached 4.5 million, only Gu Qing and one of the wealthy businessmen named Feng were left.
"Five million!"
Gu Qing once again bid 6 million, finally pushing the auction to a climax.
"Six million once, six million twice..."
"Six million three times!"
"Deal, congratulations sir!"
Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out in the arena.
Gu Qing smiled and nodded slightly, as if he was born to belong to this place. Even she couldn't help but find Gu Qing scary.
If Yu Yao were to raise the cards himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't do better than Gu Qing.
At this moment, in front of the venue, Sun Lanyun turned around and saw Gu Qing, and she was almost dumbfounded.
How is that possible?
She thought that the bumpkin could actually afford to spend 6 million to buy such a bowl. How could such a rich man live in such a house? She really couldn't understand.
Sun Lanyun was born into a wealthy family and had never lacked money since she was a child, but she was also very clear about the value of six million. At least she had never owned six million in her life.
No wonder, no wonder the people I sent to deal with them failed, no wonder my dad is on good terms with them, there must be some background behind this guy.
Sun Lanyun was a little nervous. She felt that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended.
By the time she came to her senses, the auction had ended and everyone was preparing to move to the banquet hall. She knew she should go find someone to apologize to, but Gu Qing was surrounded by people and she couldn't get close to him.
Besides, she couldn't bring herself to do that.
Watching the two of them stealing the spotlight, Sun Lanyun felt extremely uncomfortable and walked out of the venue with a sullen face.
"Qingyan, go find someone to check for me who this Shen Nanke is."
She had naturally inquired about it before sending people to deal with Gu Qing and the other two, but she didn't take it seriously. She even felt that the things done by Yu Yao, Manager Shi, and Ding Jue, whom she disliked, were petty and not worthy of public display.
But what happened tonight told her that she seemed to be wrong.
What she didn't expect was that leaving in anger just now completely deprived her of the opportunity to admit her mistake.
