Bai Yujing booked a hotel by the river, the location of the room is close to the lake, open the window, you can see the Ness River that passes around the city, at night, the sky full of stars is reflected on the river, it feels particularly emotional.

"Well, okay, then we'll make an appointment tomorrow afternoon. ”

"No problem!"

Bai Yujing stood by the window, and when he turned around, he saw Emma in a bathrobe walking in after making a phone call, and asked, "What's the matter?

Emma said excitedly: "Ian, I have good news for you, someone has offered three million pounds to buy the manuscript of Gulliver's Travels in our hands, and tomorrow they will come to Inverness to discuss this matter with us, Ian, we are going to make a fortune!"

Bai Yujing was stunned for a moment, and immediately became excited, the price of three million pounds has far exceeded the expectations of the two of them, and the one million euros that he originally expected was just thinking about it, in fact, Bai Yujing wanted to be able to auction hundreds of thousands of euros at that time, but he didn't expect the good news to come so quickly: "You contacted a good person so quickly? You are too fast, didn't you say that you would contact your friends who work in the auction house for auctions?"

Emma shook her head: "It wasn't my friend who introduced me, but they found me, I was going to go back to London and contact our friends to arrange this matter, I didn't expect to find me so soon." ”

Bai Yujing frowned, this is too strange, could it be a liar? Bai Yujing immediately asked, "Did they say who wanted to buy this manuscript?"

Emma thought for a moment: "It's a guy named Burton MacLeod!"

Bai Yujing and Emma looked at each other at the same time and shouted, "MacLeod?"

Bai Yujing and Emma didn't expect that it was originally just a noun in a notebook, but now it appeared in front of two people, the MacLeod family, which is the family that runs through the entire notes and stories, the mastermind behind the entire incident and the cause of the legend, appearing in front of the two people like this really caught the two of them off guard.

Emma fidgeted a little: "Why do you say they came to us, it's a conspiracy. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Emma immediately stood up, looking in a hurry, Bai Yujing immediately grabbed Emma: "Where are you going now?"

Emma immediately said, "We should get out of here, don't come into contact with them, we should avoid them." ”

Bai Yujing didn't expect Emma to be a girl with such a strong sense of crisis, thinking about this decision for a while, Bai Yujing shook his head: "I don't think this is a wise move, the other party can find out our identity, contact information, and address so quickly, it is enough to show the other party's strength, no matter where we run, it is impossible to avoid them, after all, we are not professionally trained agents." ”

Emma immediately asked, "So what should we do?"

Bai Yujing thought for a moment: "We should first pick up the East XC that we got from Rimmel Gulliver, and then go to see them tomorrow, since they have asked us to meet and interview, then they are willing to sit down and talk to us, we can know their purpose in meeting with them, if it is just to buy manuscripts, we will sell them to them, if there are other purposes, we can also listen to them, and then make a decision or countermeasure." ”

Emma nodded, "You have a point, but I don't think their purpose for finding us is that simple. ”

"Then we'll see them tomorrow. ”

-------------------

The next day, Bai Yujing and Emma were both a little nervous, except for running around Inverness in the morning, the two of them huddled together in bed to watch TV, because it had been raining outside since the morning today, and it was very cold.

Until Emma's phone rang, Emma answered, said a few words and hung up.

Bai Yujing immediately asked, "How is it?"

Emma nodded: "That's right, they made an appointment to meet us in a hotel, and now they are already waiting for us there." ”

The two set off quickly, Bai Yujing carried a linen-colored backpack on his back and wore a red jacket, while Emma wore a pink sweatshirt and a pair of sneakers, and the two took care of it and went out.

It was still raining outside, sprinkled on the drenched streets and green lawns, Bai Yujing walked forward with an umbrella, and after walking for long, he found the agreed place.

"Hello, do you have a reservation?" asked the hotel staff.

It's a 4 star hotel, and the conditions should be the best in Inverness, after all, it's just a small city with a population of tens of thousands of people.

"Hello, Burton MacLeod invited us over!" Emma said to the staff.

"Okay, please come with me!"

Following the staff, I finally came to the restaurant box on the fourth floor and sat down, there were already two people sitting in the room, a thin old man who looked not young, with gray hair, but full of momentum, sitting there, there was a feeling of intimidation and anger, which made people full of oppression.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was meticulously combed, and he looked very capable.

Seeing Emma and Bai Yujing walking down, the old man didn't seem to expect that there were two people, but after looking at it, his expression did not change, and he immediately stood up and said to Emma and Bai Yujing: "I'm glad that the two of you can come here, Burton MacLeod, this one next to me is my lawyer Bivis, Miss Emma, who is this one next to you?"

Emma immediately introduced, "This is my boyfriend, you can just call him Ian, this manuscript is what he and I found together." ”

"Hello, I don't know if I can take a look at this manuscript first!" Burton MacLeod said to Bai Yujing, it can be seen that this is a somewhat old-fashioned but very proud old man, who speaks in a straightforward manner, seems to be enthusiastic, but makes people feel repulsed thousands of miles away.

"Absolutely. Bai Yujing took out an ancient leather page book from his bag and handed it to the old man, who took his eyes and read it carefully, and looked at it for a long time before nodding to the lawyer.

Lawyer Bivis immediately said that he understood, and discussed the transfer procedure with Bai Yujing and Emma, because yesterday Emma had already estimated the price with a friend in the auction house, even if it is an auction house, it is difficult to sell at this price, and the auction house has to take a commission, Bai Yujing and Emma also feel that the price of three million pounds is very sincere, there is no need to put on a too greedy appearance, and it will be counterproductive to anger others when the time comes.

Because there was no interest in chatting, everyone talked briefly, and immediately handled the transfer procedure, with the sound of the mobile phone prompt, seeing that the money had really arrived, Bai Yujing and Emma became a little excited, this is a real three million pounds, converted into RMB is more than 20 million, Bai Yujing has half of it is also 10 million, Bai Yujing has never seen so much money.

After everything was done, Bai Yujing and Emma expressed their gratitude to Burton MacLeod, the gold owner, and were about to leave, but they didn't expect Burton MacLeod to speak at this time.

"Did you get anything else when you got this manuscript?" said the old man's cold voice in the box.

The two immediately turned around, and Bai Yujing immediately said: "Only this manuscript was found at that time, after all, we didn't find any treasure, right?"

Burton MacLeod immediately said, "What you found was a box, right? Such a large box must contain more than one manuscript, and we have been looking for many years what Remel Gulliver left behind." ”

Bai Yujing found that his voice was also dry, although he was forced to be calm, but Bai Yujing knew that he must have missed the cowardice, this Burton MacLeod seemed to have seen through the two of them, and he was clear about the things and information in the hands of the two, such a passive and seen through feeling, which made people feel very uncomfortable: "I don't understand what you're talking about, we ......." ”

"One hundred million!" the old man interrupted Bai Yujing's words with some impatience.

"I'll give 100 million pounds, as long as you can find me the Fountain of Youth, it's yours!" Burton MacLeod didn't wait for Bai Yujing's answer after saying this, but stood up and immediately walked outside.

Bivis followed him, but when he passed Bai Yujing and Emma, he handed a business card to each of them, and Burton MacLeod stood at the door and looked back: "If you have figured it out, you can always call me on this number, and I can provide you with the best possible help." ”

Watching the two go away, Bai Yujing and Emma looked at each other a little, and after a long time, Bai Yujing picked up the business card and looked at it: "McLeod Medical Group!"

There was no position written below, only the name of Burton MacLeod, and Bai Yujing swallowed: "How about it?

Emma turned her head, and the brilliance of gold coins seemed to emerge in her eyes: "100 million eh, why don't you do it, we are going to the island, by the way, we can just find something, and let him help us prepare all the things and supplies we want, why don't you do it!"

Bai Yujing felt that what Emma said was very reasonable, well, the number of 100 million was very impactful, and Bai Yujing heard it very clearly, and the words in the back were pounds, not Vietnamese dong.
