Chapter 239 Secretary Lin
Lin Xia shone the flashlight on the head of the bed and looked at the familiar face in her sleep. It was unexpected, yet reasonable.
How could the central figure of an organization die so easily? And they have never found this person in New North Star.
It turned out that Tang Yi had run away at some point in time. Lin Xia suddenly thought that Tang Yi should be very familiar with those potions and the like.
Then... why did he let himself discover him? Lin Xia had many questions in her mind.
"Hmm." The person on the bed wrinkled his nose, as if stimulated by the light of the flashlight. Lin Xia was so scared that she turned off the flashlight reflexively.
In the dark environment, Tang Yi's steady breathing lingered in Lin Xia's ears. After calming down, she realized that her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out.
Lin Xia clearly heard the person on the bed turn over. The room returned to silence, with only the breathing sounds being particularly obvious in the air. Lin Xia identified the direction and left in the direction she came in.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xia was brought back to her senses by Mr. Wu's voice. When she came to her senses, she saw that the teacup Mr. Wu was holding was empty. She immediately picked up the teapot and refilled it for the old man. "Sorry, Mr. Wu."
Old Master Wu didn't really care about what Lin Xia was thinking. It was just that he caught her distracted while working, so Old Master Wu casually reminded her.
Lin Xia also immediately adjusted her attitude and pretended to be serious, but her mind had already wandered to other places.
"Oh, right." Old Wu remembered something and looked up at the front, but he tilted his head slightly towards Lin Xia to let Lin Xia know that he was talking to him.
Lin Xia didn't say anything, but bent down and looked at Mr. Wu, waiting for his next words.
"I heard there was a problem at the underground auction house, and Xiao Tang didn't have time to go there to deal with it." Wu Lao paused for a moment, then said, "You are someone I trust. Please go there in Xiao Tang's place tomorrow."
"Yes." Lin Xia certainly had no right to refuse. Even if Lin Xia really refused, Old Wu had various ways to get Lin Xia to come over.
Lin Xia agreed readily, and Old Wu felt relieved. He lowered his head to read the newspaper again. Although Xinlixing was engaged in the mining industry, the ultimate destination of the funds was unclear, which puzzled Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was also puzzled by the fact that Xinlixing actually had its own newspaper. It seemed to be reporting on some simple things, and some also reported on business development.
But during that period, Lin Xia never saw anything related to Boss Wu, it was very mysterious.
Although I am extremely confused, if I want to understand it more deeply, I need to get more exposure to the things here.
Lin Xia came to the underground auction house as Wu Lao and the others wished. It was still a familiar place and a familiar scene. This time, Lin Xia wore a mask again and sat in the front row.
Looking at the big cages above, Lin Xia could only say that there really wasn't any change.
The light above her head shone on Lin Xia. Suddenly, the light beside her dimmed a little, and a person sat down on her right.
Out of politeness, Lin Xia turned her head and nodded to the man.
The man also nodded politely to Lin Xia as a response.
Lin Xia identified the man sitting next to her as Qi Yuan almost at a glance.
Looking in the direction of Qi Yuan, there was a slightly thinner boy sitting next to Qi Yuan. Lin Xia knew without a second thought that the man was Xiao Mu. Thinking of Qi Yuan bringing a young man with him while he was on a mission, Lin Xia suddenly smiled.
This silent smile was destined to go unnoticed by anyone, but even so, Lin Xia's expression still changed very quickly.
"Welcome everyone to today's auction! Today's appetizers are the items placed before you."
Several products were placed in a row on the table, all covered with huge red cloth so that no one could see what was inside.
Lin Xia is not interested in the products above. Not to mention that Lin Xia can't afford it now, even if she can afford it, she would have to think about it again.
The venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As the red cloth outside the cage fell, some small noises came from the audience. A few people were whispering, seemingly discussing the goods on the stage. Some people were holding communicators and explaining the situation of the goods on this side to the people on the other side. They must be discussing which product to bid on.
However, Lin Xia didn't care about these. The purpose of Lin Xia's visit this time was not these appetizers, but the finale product that was to come.
Like Lin Xia, there were Qi Yuan and Xiao Mu next to them. Qi Yuan, in particular, just looked straight ahead and showed no interest in the goods above.
Xiao Mu was a little different. He seemed quite interested in the products listed, but he just looked at them by himself and didn't talk to Qi Yuan.
"Sir, are there any products you like?"
Lin Xia was still lost in thought when she heard Qi Yuan's voice. She turned around and met Qi Yuan's gaze. She casually said, "This item number 2 looks pretty good."
"Oh? So sir, you like this kind of thing."
Lin Xia was still wondering why Qi Yuan said such a thing, but when she followed Qi Yuan and shifted her gaze, she saw the muscular man No. 2.
No. 2 was only wearing simple clothes that covered some sensitive parts, and he was dark and strong.
In an instant, it seemed as if a crow flew over Lin Xia's head, leaving a few black spots.
Lin Xia's mind raced, and she finally found an excuse. "Of course not. This would be quite intimidating if used as a bodyguard."
Although she knew that no one could see the expression on her face, Lin Xia's face still turned red instantly. It was so embarrassing.
What Lin Xia didn't know was that the tips of his ears had turned completely red.
Under the dim light, Qi Yuan stared at the tip of Lin Xia's ear without moving his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up under the mask. She was really cute.
However, Qi Yuan mercifully did not continue to tease Lin Xia, but watched the auction where various people were vying for the items on display, while some items were only favored by a few people.
Finally, time passed by little by little, and the finale product finally came up. It was a huge raw stone, which was placed in the display cabinet.
I don’t know how this cabinet was handled. I watched the person above take it up, and the things inside never came into contact with the outside world.
Lin Xia frowned. Why should a piece of raw stone be protected so well?
However, this was not what Lin Xia should care about. Before Lin Xia could come to her senses, someone had already made an offer, "2000 million."
Lin Xia looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a man wearing a mask with a communicator to his ear. He should be talking to the paparazzi.
"3000 million." Lin Xia raised the sign, and everyone around him looked over.
Xiao Mu, who had originally shown little interest in this product, saw Lin Xia make a bid and immediately started bidding.
