The man picked up his glass and took another sip. He pondered for a moment and said, “No matter what method they use, let them stall for a while longer. We definitely would not be able to do it through the divine doctor. We still have to start from Mo Zhu.”
After a pause, the man lowered his eyes and added, “Send someone to continue monitoring the Huo family and see what other actions they have taken recently.”
The subordinate looked up and replied respectfully, “Yes, Young Master.”
“Have you prepared the money I asked you to prepare?” The man stood up and touched his chin.
“Yes, Young Master. We’re just waiting for the auction to start tomorrow.”
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the man retracted his gaze and nodded in satisfaction. “The Gao family actually took out such a good item like the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to auction this time. It seems like they’ve really encountered a difficult situation. I’m determined to get the Pine Snow Herb.”
At 7.30 pm the next night, the Gao family’s auction was scheduled at the famous luxury hotel in Beijing, Heaton.
In order for this auction to go smoothly, the Gao family had reserved the entire hotel and welcomed a lot of guests in advance. The auction was scheduled to be officially carried out in the living room. They had also specially arranged for individual private rooms for the various families to rest. The viewing angle of the private rooms was very convenient for the guests to watch the real-time situation of the auction.
Not only did the auction include a rare herb like the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, but the Gao family had also spent a lot of money to source for many treasures and they had planned to use this opportunity to auction them together.
Not long after the sun had set, one after another, the people from the various large families arrived at the Heaton Hotel in luxury cars. When Huo Xuan brought Mo Zhu to the entrance, there were already quite a number of VIPs who had already entered the venue with their admission tickets and had taken their seats.
As everyone only had one admission ticket which Mo Zhu had obtained, Huo Xuan called Xu Huan and Mo Wu the moment he got out of the car to confirm the location of the gathering.
After the four of them met, Huo Qing and Kang Ying, who were also participating in the auction, caught them just as they were queuing up to enter.
When she saw that Huo Xuan had actually brought Mo Zhu to the Gao family’s auction, which only the wealthy families had the right to enter, a deep jealousy welled up in Kang Ying’s heart.
She walked to Mo Zhu in front of her in her high heels with her head held high and sneered, “When did the Gao family’s auction allow even unknown people to participate? Why? You can’t wait for Brother Xuan to bring you here to see the world after you have just arrived in Beijing? Country bumpkins are indeed country bumpkins. You’re really not presentable.”
Mo Zhu was not angry when she heard this. She lowered her head and played with her phone quietly. She could not be bothered to look at someone who was looking for trouble for no reason.
Seeing Mo Zhu’s attitude, Kang Ying’s anger instantly rushed to the top of her head. She could not be bothered with the upbringing and manners that she was supposed to have as a lady from a rich family and directly pointed at Mo Zhu and cursed, “I’m talking to you, can’t you hear me? Who do you think you are to be arrogant in front of me? Do you believe that I can make you die very miserably with just my fingers?”
Kang Ying’s voice was sharp and it sounded particularly ear-piercing. Mo Zhu helplessly dug her ears and looked at her with a faint smile. “Just say what you want. Even if you want to beat around the bush to curse me, you have to see if you have the eloquence to do so. Clearly, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Hmph.” Kang Ying snorted and glared at Mo Zhu. “You’re acting so arrogant, aren’t you just relying on Brother Xuan, knowing that he would back you up?”
From the corner of her eye, she looked at the crowd that was queuing up to enter the auction. Kang Ying held her waist and said, “If you have the ability, you can enter the Heaton Hotel without Brother Xuan’s admission ticket.”
Mo Zhu followed Kang Ying’s gaze and looked up. Then, she raised her hand and searched in her pocket for a while. She took out a folded golden invitation card and Mo Zhu walked straight around the crowd to the waiter who welcomed her.
“This is my invitation. The three people behind me are here with me..” Mo Zhu handed the invitation to the waiter and pointed at Huo Xuan, Xu Huan, and Mo Wu.
