Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.
Chapter 655 Looks Very Cute
Bai Ning looked around but did not find Mr. Tang San. She had never seen a photo of this man and could only guess who he was based on the description in the rumors.
I thought it would not be difficult, but the guests at the scene all wore masks, which greatly increased the difficulty.
"He will come," Lan Qichen said confidently, "At first I didn't believe Shen Ruyang's news, so I sent someone to investigate again, and the answer we got was the same. Don't worry, take your time, the fox will eventually show its tail."
He raised his cup and took a sip of tea, his deep eyes looked around, and finally locked his sight on an old man in a black cloak and a black hat.
The old man took off his hat, revealing a head full of white hair and wrinkles. It was obvious at first glance that he was very old. His age was correct, but the most important thing was that he looked fierce and ruthless, which was consistent with the temperament of a black businessman.
Bai Ning saw that Lan Qichen was staring at one place, so he followed his gaze and saw the white-haired old man.
She guessed that he must have mistaken this man for Master Tang San, but that was not the case.
She recognized this person. He was an old friend of Gong Qilin. His surname was Li. He would occasionally come to the Gong family to play chess with the old man. She had also played against him twice, so she recognized him at a glance.
She patted his shoulder gently and explained in a low voice: "You recognized the wrong person. That grandfather is Mr. Li, a good friend of my grandfather. He was a guest at home last month. He is a very friendly person, but he looks a little fierce."
Lan Qichen awkwardly withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, and pretended to be calm.
"I just... ahem, I accidentally paid a little more attention to him. I didn't mean to mistake him for Mr. Tang San."
He told lies in such a serious manner that Bai Ning couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Don't pretend. It's not shameful to admit it. I won't laugh at you."
Although he said he wasn't joking, he was actually laughing at him, making Lan Qichen feel so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his face.
"Shh!"
Suddenly, they heard the sound of conversation from next door, the volume was loud and they could hear it clearly.
Lan Qichen gently covered Bai Ning's mouth, signaling her not to make any sound and to listen to what was being said next door.
"Master San, how was the quality of last month's batch of goods?"
"Very good. I bought it at a low price and sold it at a high price. I can make a net profit of this amount."
"So worth it? It seems that I should have followed Boss Tang a long time ago. I have been working alone in the business circle for the past few years, but I really can't achieve much. Thanks to you, the big tree that supports me, otherwise I would have been living on the streets and eating steamed buns!"
...The people next door were chatting as if no one was around, and they seemed not to notice that the curtains were not soundproof, so they blurted out all the bad things they had done. Bai Ning and Lan Qichen heard it clearly at that time.
Those little followers called their leader "Third Master" and "Boss Tang". Moreover, they were smugglers, veritable black businessmen, so it was not difficult to guess that this man's true identity was Third Master Tang.
Bai Ning opened her eyes wide in surprise, then shut her mouth and said no more. She knew that she couldn't let the people next door find out her identity, otherwise she would be exposed.
Lan Qichen also remained silent. He had no intention of paying attention to the situation at the auction. He remained highly alert throughout the whole process and listened attentively to the conversation next door.
After a while, the voices of those people gradually weakened until they were silent. They probably discovered that the curtain was not soundproof, so they stopped being so rampant.
Bai Ning mouthed the question: "Did they notice that we were eavesdropping?"
Her eyes were round and bulging, which made her look very cute.
Lan Qichen slightly curved his lips, shook his head, and lip-synced, "No, and we are listening in openly. Even if we are discovered, we have reason to fight back."
