Chapter 281 Why is it you again?
Venice is filled with a deep chill in the early morning.
On the beaches of the Adriatic Sea, a large number of fishermen began to collect the fishing nets they had put down last night before the sun rose. Children and women who were still young rushed to dig some oysters from the reefs so that they could sell them in the market to supplement their family income.
The waves beat against the coast in the early morning, making sounds like cheers. The usually blue sea turned a golden red during the period before sunrise.
The yacht stopped by the shore, which was the closest port to the San Marco district. The remaining distance was not far, so several people prepared to walk there.
The few of them were dressed as simply as possible, in hooded sweatshirts, jeans, sportswear, knitted hats, and windbreaker jackets... Walking on the coast in the early morning, they looked like two young lovers traveling to Venice.
Lu Qian had never seen Cheng Yi dressed like this before, and his eyes kept glancing towards him uncontrollably.
"If you want to watch it, watch it openly."
Cheng Yi adjusted the hood of his sweatshirt and said calmly without looking away.
Lu Qian shrank back in shock, "How did you know I was looking at you?!"
Cheng Yi gathered a handful of hair and gave him a disdainful look, "When have you ever peeked and I didn't catch you?"
“…”
Lu Qian was speechless. It seemed like since the first day she met Cheng Yi, she had been caught every time she peeked.
After walking for about half an hour, the Phoenix Opera House appeared in front of us.
The main entrance of this classic European-style building is not very eye-catching. Because the show has not started yet, it is very deserted inside and outside.
Walking through the main entrance, you will go straight to the four-story concert hall.
The hall was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. I could only grope my way forward.
Lu Qian grabbed Cheng Yi's arm, frowned, and asked, "Where is the person here?"
As soon as the words fell.
"Snap! Snap!" Several light and sound effects suddenly rang out.
In the dim venue, spotlights lit up one by one from the door, shining onto the stage at the same time.
In the center of the huge stage, there was a European-style court chair with its back facing the audience. A man was sitting on it, leisurely resting his legs on the footstool.
They looked at each other and continued walking along the red carpet in the audience until they reached the stage.
"My guest, congratulations on reaching this level."
The man spoke in elegant and slow Italian.
In this concert hall where the resonant sound is infinitely amplified, it is calm and restrained, yet a little shocking.
"I have been waiting here for a long time."
Seeing this man pretending to be mysterious, Qu Le's face twitched and he gritted his teeth. He grabbed the small decorative flower pot beside the stage and flew over.
"Lanson, are you pretending to be your mother here?"
Damn, I hate people who pretend to be cool the most.
The flowerpot flew out of Qu Le's hand and hit the back of the chair where Lan Sen was leaning.
"Bang!" A muffled sound.
Lanson was hit so hard that he staggered on the chair. He quickly put down his legs from the footstool and looked back in panic.
Seeing the row of familiar figures on the stage, Lansen's handsome face instantly fell.
He stood up from his chair, pointed at a few people, and exclaimed loudly: "What the hell?! Why are you guys here again?!"
The echo lingered in the concert hall for a long time.
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows coldly, his tone full of displeasure: "I was just about to ask why it's you again."
Lanson is like the NPC who gives out quests in the game. No matter which level you reach, he will pop out to see you.
I can't say I hate him, but I'm really annoyed by him and want to kill him as a wild monster.
Lan Sen took a deep breath and replied confidently, "I'm waiting for someone here on Dad's orders!"
He raised his hand and pointed at a few people, "Who would have thought I was waiting for you guys!?"
Lu Qian rolled her eyes speechlessly at Lan Sen's shameless look.
"It doesn't matter who you're waiting for."
Although she and Lanson were not very familiar with each other, she had a lot of interactions with him recently when dealing with Tavia's affairs. In addition, Lanson was a mean person, so she really couldn't respect him.
Cheng Yi ignored Lan Sen's displeasure and went straight to the point: "I don't have time to waste on you. What is Dad going to do with all the fanfare?"
What Lan Sen disliked most was Cheng Yi's pretentious look.
He rolled his eyes and held out his hand to the few people, "Let me inspect the goods. Don't come here to claim them falsely."
Qu Le took out the two brocade bags from his pocket and slammed them hard into Lan Sen's hands.
"You think everyone is like you? A charlatan."
Lanson took the two sachets and looked at them left and right, as if trying to find some signs of counterfeiting.
Unfortunately not.
With an unhappy look on his face, he took out a key and a seal box from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Yi.
"Yes."
Cheng Yi looked at the two things in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
"The seal of the Hermes Auction House and the key to the warehouse of Dad's business chain."
"?"
“???”
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.
Such an important thing?
Cheng Yi opened his mouth and asked, "What is Dad going to do?"
Lan Sen sighed. "Well... you know how Daddy is doing. I guess he'll be gone in the next two years."
"He didn't have any children, and couldn't find an heir, but he couldn't break the business chain, so he came up with the idea of auctioning the treasure bag." Lanson lazily put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin towards the keys in his hand. "He also said that if no one comes to me before noon today, the Venice black market chain will be mine."
“Who would have thought…”
It’s these Bs again!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows and curled up the corners of his mouth in a playful arc.
He pulled out the dragon-patterned waistband Luo had given him from his pocket and proudly waved it in front of Lansen. "Look at what this is?"
Lanson squinted his eyes for a few seconds, then his puzzled eyes slowly widened and his mouth opened uncontrollably.
"What the hell??? Isn't he giving you guys a backdoor?!" Lan Sen pointed at the jade pendant in Cheng Yi's hand, almost jumping up in shock. "I thought it belonged to me since no one wanted it!"
So that old man was completely lying to him?! Just to trick him into running errands for these people!
Qu Le looked unhappy. "How can that be a backdoor? We were the ones who took the photos, right? We also cracked the password, right? Stop talking nonsense."
She stepped forward and snatched the thing from Lanson's hand, "Here you go."
Lan Sen had a look of reluctance on his face, and asked in a sour tone, "With so many of you, who will own this business chain?"
Cheng Yi still didn't know what he was planning, but this trick of provoking them was obviously useless.
He twisted his wrist and replied casually, "Don't worry about that. Just keep selling your information."
After saying that, without even giving Lanson an expression, they turned around and walked out of the concert hall.
“…”
Lanson looked at their backs with a look of as if he had eaten a fly. Since he met these people, he had never gained any benefits from them.
