Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After Wu Xie and Fatty thought carefully about what the little girl said, they calmed down and stopped thinking about unrealistic things.

When the two men lowered their heads in thought, they did not notice the eye contact between the little girl and Old Lady Huo, and thus missed an opportunity to know the truth.

"The name of this auction item is... the Jade Seal with a Ghost Button and Dragon Fish."

The auctioneer waved his hand, and the stick slave waiting at the side hung the glass box containing the ghost-button dragon fish jade seal on the hook, and then walked it around the hall so that people in the boxes on the second floor could also see the thing clearly.

When the stick slave put the things back, the auctioneer put on white gloves and took a small flashlight from the maid beside him, "Everyone, please look!"

Wu Xie just saw that the carving on the jade seal was very complicated. From the overall point of view, it was a Qilin stepping on a ghost, but a closer look revealed that the Qilin was actually made up of countless little ghosts entangled together, and there were scales on its body, which looked like a snake entwined. Looking from the other side, Wu Xie found that the ghost seal had changed into another shape, and the Qilin turned into the shape of countless dragons and fish.

However, the fat man saw the clue, but he did not speak rashly. Instead, he poked Wu Xie, covered his stomach with one hand, sweated profusely, and looked at Wu Xie with a pale face.

Wu Xie looked at the fat man in front of him, whose face was pale, sweaty and trembling from time to time. He couldn't help but feel nervous and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Did you eat something bad? Or did you catch a cold?"

The fat man frowned, holding his stomach in pain and said, "Ouch~ I can't take it anymore! I don't know what's going on, I just suddenly felt a stomachache! Wu Xie, it must be the problem with the instant noodles you drank this morning. My stomach is in such a mess! Take me to the toilet!"

After hearing this, Wu Xie quickly apologized to Mrs. Huo, "I'm sorry, Grandma Huo, we have to leave for a while." Then he quickly helped the fat man up and walked out of the room. As soon as he left the room, Wu Xie grabbed a maid and asked where the bathroom was.

After the maid told Wu Xie the location of the bathroom, Wu Xie was extremely anxious and hurriedly took the fat man to run in that direction. However, Wu Xie did not notice that after they turned around and left, the maid showed an elusive smile on her face.

The fat man followed Wu Xie and ran all the way, but he suddenly stopped, grabbed Wu Xie, turned around and walked into an empty room. After entering the room, the fat man stuck his head out to confirm that there was no one around, and then he closed the door with confidence.

Wu Xie looked at the fat man with a puzzled look on his face and asked impatiently: "What the hell are you doing? Didn't you say you had a stomachache? Why did you stop suddenly?"

The fat man smiled and said calmly: "Haha, don't worry, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

Wu Xie was furious when he heard this and angrily asked the fat man: "What? You lied to me? Then why did you pretend like this?"

The fat man winked mischievously and replied smugly: "Hey, I just wanted to see how uncomfortable you were in that private room just now, so I found an excuse to bring you out."

The fat man suddenly leaned over to cover his ears and whispered, "Also, I just found that there are three places on the ghost seal where the patterns are wrong. Three ghost heads are missing. It's like a person wearing three rings on his hand, holding the jade seal, and the position of the rings is exactly on the broken edge. This is a complete set."

After Wu Xie heard what the fat man said, he slowly recalled the style of the ghost seal he had just seen: "It seems to be just like what you said. There are three gaps on it, which are just enough for people to put their hands in and hold it tightly. It doesn't need two hands to hold it together like other seals."

The fat man suddenly looked at Wu Xie seriously, "I suspect this ghost seal may have other uses, otherwise it wouldn't attract so many dignitaries. Wu Xie, let's leave here quickly while no one is around. Otherwise, if something happens later, we won't be able to leave."

Indeed, now, just one encounter has drawn out the powerful people on the second floor, or the people behind the powerful people. Once something happens because of this ghost seal. Now everyone present is from Yanjing, and they all have more or less people supporting them behind the scenes.

He and the fat man are the only two people here who have no background at all. If something really happens, they will be pushed out as pawns.

Wu Xie nodded slightly, "Okay. Let's leave the hotel now."

Wu Xie supported the fat man who continued to pretend to be weak and came to the Huo family's box. "Grandma Huo, the fat man is really not doing well. I will take him to the hospital and we will leave first. If there is anything else, we can contact each other anytime when we are free in the future."

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he took the fat man and ran away, as if there was a flood or a beast behind them. When the two of them took a taxi to Xie's house, they finally felt relieved.

The butler looked at Wu Xie and the fat man, then at the pocket watch in his hand, "Master Wu, Mr. Wang, what are you doing?"

Wu Xie and Fatty could only carry out their previous pretense to the end, "Grandpa Xie, you don't know, Fatty is so unlucky, I don't know what he ate, but he got an upset stomach. There is no other way, I can only take him away early to the hospital, and he came back after getting an IV drip."

In order to truly impress Old Lady Huo, the fat man had pinched his own waist with all his might, and he had to hold back his screams while talking to Wu Xie with a steady breath.

Although the fat man's face was not as bad as before he came to the store, it was not much better. His face was still pale, and the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat and stuck tightly to his scalp.

"Oh! Then come in quickly. I'll ask someone to prepare some hot soup. Drinking it may help relieve the symptoms." The butler continued to follow the two people's lies.

Not long after Wu Xie and Fatty left, the Ghost Seal began to be auctioned. Unfortunately, they had not expected that Hua Yu would also be at the auction.

Hua Yu just lay on the chaise longue, flipping through the book in his hand. Once he gave an instruction, someone would naturally do the work for him.

As soon as the sky lanterns were lit up in the private room on the third floor, most people stopped what they were doing. Only a few were still bidding higher, especially the people in a private room on the second floor.

Hua Yu received a report from his men that two families on the second floor were fighting with them, so they also lit up sky lanterns, and now the amount has reached 300 million.

"Go and find out who they are and cut off their source of funding." Hua Yu seemed so disdainful of the information reported by his subordinates. He just gave a faint order and continued reading his book.

After a while, the subordinate who had just gone down read the key points of the investigation report to Hua Yu.

"The person in room 205 on the second floor is the old man named Jude Kao. We have already sent someone to cut off his funding. He should be having financial problems now."

"The other one is from the Wang family. We have already sent people to disrupt their headquarters. They should have received the news by now. We need to send them back to provide support."

Hearing this, Hua Yu finally put down the book in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a sneer: "It's that rat in the gutter again. He was originally a plaything in the palm of someone else's hand, but he always thinks he is superior to others."

He stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the street below. The sunlight shone through the window on him, forming a golden outline, but his eyes were full of indifference and contempt.

"This time, let them know what despair is." Hua Yu whispered, with a hint of cruelty in his voice.

He stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the subordinates waiting on the side came over, "Young Prince, what do you want?"

"Completely cut off Jude Kao's funding chain and let him have a taste of what it feels like to have nothing. As for the Wang family, let them have one last chance to shine!" Hua Yu sneered as she turned around to look at him.

"Since they are rats, they should stay in the dark corners and be despised and hated by the world. But don't play with them to death, otherwise when my brother wants to take revenge, he won't be able to find anyone."

The subordinate took note of it one by one, turned around, pointed a few people and left the room.
