Chapter 260 Auction
Although there were only Xu Wenrong, Chen Zixin and Wang Boqing in the reception room, there were definitely more people belonging to their faction than just them.
After all, lurking agents like them generally have top-secret missions, and behind them stands a certain empire.
Although the person who commissioned Luo Haisheng to test the stone containing Roche metal was Cheng Feier, this woman has always been serving Jiang Yao and helping him handle various matters.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that the stone is very likely made by Jiang Yao.
Before the members of the SAS Blood Wolf Squad arrived in Hong Kong, Xu Wenrong and others had already conducted a detailed investigation on Jiang Yao.
They are professional intelligence personnel who have been operating in Hong Kong for so many years. With their wide network of contacts, they may not be able to find out some things hidden in the dark, but it is naturally not difficult for them to find out some information that Jiang Yao has exposed.
"Jiang Yaozu is a man who rarely goes out and is very defensive."
"SAS is our country's ace special forces. Their reputation is not exaggerated, but earned through outstanding achievements time and time again."
"The Blood Wolf Squad's combat power is beyond doubt. Even when they sneaked into Villa No. 68 in Repulse Bay where Jiang Yaozu was, they were completely wiped out in the end."
"People like us are not good at direct combat. If we really want to do something, using the beauty trap is indeed a very good choice."
"I have a member under my command named Guan Linlin. She has received professional training in this area and is very good at dealing with men. Let her take action."
"That Guan Linlin with the big eyes? She is indeed pretty, but Jiang Yaozu prefers playing golf. According to the information we have obtained, a popular singer from his Feixing Records was once sent to the hospital in the middle of the night for this reason."
"Don't worry, Brother Xu. Guan Linlin, as I mentioned, has relevant work experience in this area. As long as she takes action, she will definitely be able to capture the person easily."
……
Regarding the related matters of the beauty trap, Xu Wenrong, Chen Zixin and others discussed for nearly an hour. Finally, they made a plan and settled the matter.
Afterwards, Chen Zixin and Wang Boqing, who came here under the pretext of discussing business, walked out of the reception room and left one after another.
As the owner of this place, Xu Wenrong, as usual, gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and then he slowly went into his own exclusive office.

Jiang Yao naturally knew nothing about the plans of Xu Wenrong and others.
He thought that the death of those SAS members and Li Minghe would cause some waves, but the result was somewhat beyond his expectations.
For some time afterwards, the villa remained very peaceful.
Not to mention the unknown attackers, even the police force didn't show up.
It seems that Xu Wanting and Tian Ziming handled Li Minghe's follow-up affairs very well and did not leave any hidden dangers.
Even the fact that Li Minghe had come to his place had been completely erased by these two guys.
Otherwise, if such a police officer at the level of Chief Inspector suddenly disappeared, and he happened to have been to Jiang Yao before his disappearance, someone would definitely find Jiang Yao, question him, and record his statement.
Jiang Yao was naturally happy that there was no trouble.
He runs in the morning, practices boxing during the day, and studies pharmacology with Mr. Ge in the evening. Although his daily life is a bit monotonous, he feels that it is very fulfilling.
Although Bingzai has tried his best to find Luo Haisheng's whereabouts, he still has no clues.
Jiang Yao wanted to dig deeper into the SAS members who died at his hands, but unfortunately, the only person he knew might have a connection with them, Li Minghe, had already passed away.
Even if Jiang Yao wanted to investigate them, he had no idea where to start.
To be honest, as long as the other party is willing to pay a certain price, it would not be a bad idea for him to tell the other party the source of those strange stones in his hand.
There would even be no problem in letting Jiang Yao lead them into that strange place.
Anyway, given the horror of that area, no matter how many people go in, it will be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there will be no return.
With those guys taking the initiative to help him explore the way, Jiang Yao might be able to learn more about that area.
The problem is, those guys are hiding and never show up, they just want to get something for free.
But if you think about it, it does seem normal for them to do so.
After all, behind those SAS people there may be national-level forces, while Jiang Yaozu is just an ordinary person with a little worth in Hong Kong.
Both parties are not on the same level at all, so why would the other party be willing to have an equal dialogue with oneself?
"Boss, are you ready?" Cheng Feier's pleasant voice reached Jiang Yao's ears, interrupting his thoughts.
He raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
When she was working at Luo Lilin Law Firm, whenever she felt upset or unhappy, Cheng Feier would often dress up as a little gangster to vent her stress.
Ever since she became Jiang Yao's personal assistant and took care of all his affairs, she wore a professional suit every day and seemed to be even busier.
Today, she wore a purple dress, which showed off her good figure. "Not bad, very beautiful!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Cheng Fei'er in front of him.
He smiled and continued, "It's just to attend the auction. I don't need to prepare anything. I can just go there like this."
Looking at Jiang Yao, who was wearing casual clothes and a pair of unknown sneakers, Cheng Feier was speechless.
"Well, you're the boss, if you say yes, then it's okay if not!" She shrugged and muttered in dissatisfaction.
The auctions held by Christie's are not open to ordinary people. Generally speaking, those who are invited to participate are either rich or noble, and have some assets.
She was able to get the invitation letter because she was in charge of the Wells Fargo Fund, which meant she had already stepped into the upper class.
As for Jiang Yao, although he often receives invitations to banquets, he never participates in such activities.
For this Christie's auction, considering that it was the first time that her boss appeared in public with her, Cheng Feier spent more than an hour just on the delicate makeup on her face.
If she had known Jiang Yao was so casual about this, she wouldn't have worn a dress; a professional suit would have been enough.
Although she was dissatisfied, when she saw Jiang Yao walking straight out of the villa, she pouted her lips and still followed him closely.
More than an hour later, in the Fuhua Hotel, in a hall covering thousands of square meters.
Holding the invitation letter, Cheng Feier and Jiang Yao walked in front, followed by Scar Liu and Big Bear, the bodyguards, and strode in.
This auction held by Christie's can only be regarded as a small auction. There are not many items on auction, only more than one hundred pieces.
If it is a really large-scale auction, they will not choose a hotel, but will definitely hold the auction at the convention and exhibition center.
When Jiang Yao and his companions arrived here, there were only ten to twenty minutes left before the auction officially started.
I can’t say how many people are gathered in the hall at the moment, but it should be around two or three hundred.
Comparing the numbers on the invitation letter, they found a round table with the corresponding numbers near the corner and sat down on the chairs next to it.
"Lawyer Cheng, you look so beautiful today!"
"Lawyer Cheng, I am also interested in charity. Are you free tomorrow? I plan to visit your Wells Fargo Fund."
"It's rare to see you, Lawyer Cheng, at this kind of event. Last time I hosted a dinner party and invited you, you didn't even show up."
……
As a lawyer, one has extensive interpersonal relationships. After taking charge of the Wells Fargo Fund, Cheng Feier's circle of contacts has expanded a lot.
Along the way, at least a dozen or twenty people greeted her with smiles on their faces.
As for Jiang Yao beside her, he became a background board and was deliberately ignored by others.
Jiang Yao, who likes to keep a low profile, naturally doesn't care about these things.
When Cheng Feier tried to test him and wanted to introduce some people to him, he refused directly and decisively.
"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad that you can appear at our Christie's auction this time..."
"Now, at ten o'clock in the morning, I declare that the auction officially begins."
"Please welcome our first lot, a colorful glazed purple gold bottle from the Great Jin Dynasty three hundred years ago."
"The starting price is two million, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand!"
……
In just a moment, an auctioneer in a tuxedo and white gloves appeared at the auction table at the front of the hall.
As a professional auctioneer, he was eloquent and spoke passionately. In the short time he was introducing the auction item in his hand, he had already aroused the emotions of many people in the audience.
However, Jiang Yao had no interest in antiques or artworks. His purpose for coming here was very clear.
All he wanted was the 180-year-old wild ginseng.
On the light screen panel, his progress in the Skin Refining Stage was only thirteen points away from reaching perfection.
At the beginning, the 120-year-old wild ginseng he got from Brother Xiang Shi increased his cultivation progress by as much as eleven points.
The wild ginseng that is about to be auctioned is of a higher age and must have stronger medicinal properties.
As long as he could win the auction for that thing, there would be no problem for him to reach perfection in the Skin Refining Realm. There was even a good chance that he could go a step further and directly step into the Bone Refining Realm.
Jiang Yao, who had been looking a little listless, instantly became much more energetic when he thought of the huge improvement in his strength that would come from entering the Bone Tempering Realm.
