Chapter 17 Public Auction

When the bell rang at noon, Li Lingrui removed his tired gaze from the file, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the beige bag on the sofa, the material of cotton and linen, which was very incompatible with the khaki leather sofa.

The scene of the conversation with Lin Wanjing in the morning suddenly flashed into his mind - he hadn't had a long conversation with her for so long that he couldn't tell for a while whether everything in the morning was true or a dream.

It was only at this time that he remembered that Lin Wanjing was gone!

Secretly screaming in his heart, Li Lingrui left the desk quickly, even if he touched the document, he didn't bother to pick it up, picked up the bag on the sofa and looked through it, but in the huge bag, there was only a silk scarf embroidered with her name, and a piece of white paper that was torn out of nowhere and folded intact.

What a hidden from the world, the golden cicada is out of its shell!

It seems that following Liu Jin for these days, she has not learned anything else, but she has figured out the thirty-six strategies thoroughly!

He was annoyed, but he could not reproach her with the veil in his handβ€”she had come to him in desperation, but he had used a bunch of arguments to shirk it.

Although she didn't show it, she should be extremely disappointed in her heart! Otherwise, it will not be said goodbye.

And this time, it was he who forced her to leave!

There was a knock on the door, and the clerk pushed the door in, originally to ask Li Lingrui about lunch, but seeing him standing in front of the sofa in a dejected manner, he thought for a moment, and then knew that it was still related to the guest just now, so he said:

"Boss, the nun said she had resigned from you, so I didn't come in to tell you......"

He should have thought a long time ago, it was Lin Wanjing, how could she be as well-behaved as in the morning, whatever he said, at his mercy?

"Call Pacific Bank immediately and help me ask if the contents of Safe 23 are still there."

Hearing his eagerness, the clerk didn't dare to slack off, answered the hello, turned to leave, and came back with a message after a while:

"The bank said that the contents of the safe had just been taken, and it was inconvenient for them to disclose the user's information, so they only said that it was a woman."

The safe deposit box No. 23 of the Pacific Bank is all the property certificates in Lin Wanjing's name, including the title deed of the Lin family's mansion at No. 19 Jingshan Road.

"Boss, do you want to send someone to find out who took the things?"

"No need." Li Lingrui sighed, "Prepare the car immediately and go to the dock." I'm going to go to sea in the afternoon. ”

said that Li Lingrui had just stepped out of the company's door, and the clerk hurriedly caught up:

"Boss, the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce has just put up a new auction plate! You'd better take a look! ”

As a multinational group mainly engaged in import and export trade, Hengguang Far East does not buy the account of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, but since the company is located in Luzhou, the necessary social entertainment is still indispensable, so Hengguang Far East Group has an honorary member under the name of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, paid the membership dues, and can be regarded as a field to praise Shen Junyi.

He also didn't care about the Chamber of Commerce, and Lin Wanjing, probably because they didn't participate in the activities organized by the Chamber of Commerce, so she didn't know that he was also on the membership list.

There is a rule in the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce: if a member intends to auction assets, he must first make the first bid within the Chamber of Commerce, and the unsuccessful auction can be put on the public market for a second auction.

Li Lingrui had never been interested in this kind of auction, but this time, his heart sank for no reason, so he took the telegram and read it.

Sure enough, the new targets are all the properties under Lin Wanjing's name, including Honglin Weaving Factory and Jin Peinian Shops, 7 ocean-going freighters under the Xuanwu fleet, 7 river ro-ro ships under the Baihu fleet, Wanli Bank and all customer relations, and the Lin family's mansion at No. 19 Jingshan Road.

Just as he was worried - when he asked Lin Wanjing where he wanted to get so much money, he had already expected that she planned to auction off his assets, but he didn't expect that she would even be willing to buy her beloved fleet!

"When is the bidding?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"So fast?!"

From the moment he realized that Lin Wanjing said goodbye, he fell into endless remorse and self-blame, he thought that as long as the goods she wanted were ready as soon as possible, at least he could make up for it, and he didn't have to force her to this point, but he never thought that she didn't give him time to prepare at all.

No, maybe she didn't want him to feel sorry at all, as she said at the beginning:

"I'm here to talk to you about business."

She can talk to him about this business, and naturally she can talk to others, but it just takes a little more trouble.

But the more he thought about this, the deeper his self-blame became.

"I'm going out now and I'll be back later tomorrow. You keep an eye on this auction for me, as long as it is on this list, no matter what property it is, no matter how much price you offer, you will buy it out at the highest price! ”

"Boss, you say... The highest price? ”

"That's right! Nothing less than anything on this list! ”

"But boss, the property risk assessment on this list is good, and they are all rising industries, it is estimated that the auction will be fierce, and the price cannot be low! Are you sure you don't want to call an assessment mission? ”

"No, you don't."

By the time they evaluated the results, Lin Wanjing's assets had already been carved up!

"The money is out of my account, and the transfer will be discussed when I come back."

"But the boss ......"

"No, but! I will bear all the consequences! ”

Throwing down this sentence, Li Lingrui got in the car and left, closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see Lin Wanjing's thin figure, along with everything he knew about her, gradually drifting away, floating into a starlight point in the darkness.

He reached out to grab it, but he didn't know if he had caught it, but he didn't dare to spread out his palm to look, so he could only hold it tightly, as if this would make the runaway world pause and leave her a breathing space.

"Wanjing, slow down, give me some time......" In his heart, he prayed silently, knowing that she couldn't hear it, but he still chattered: "Give me some time, let me catch up with you, and I can continue to stay by your side......"

In the northwest suburbs of Luzhou, according to Liu Daolin's last wishes, his cemetery was placed here, through the faint morning mist in the valley, you can see the hazy outline of Luzhou City in the distance, and the sparkling waves on the sea farther away.

I heard that many years ago, he led his troops to garrison Luzhou City, and it was here that he first glimpsed the beautiful scenery of Luzhou, and a voice in the dark told him that he would devote his life and even his life to this land!

Leaning on a bunch of white chrysanthemums in front of the bluestone tombstone, the morning dew is faint, and it can be seen that the person who offered the flowers came very early, probably just left.

Staring at the bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Liu Jin couldn't help but lose his mind, in his memory, only Lin Wanjing had to go to the grave to see on this day every month, brush off the dust of fallen leaves for the tombstone, fill the cup with clear wine, and then sacrifice a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, silent for a long time.

"Are you really alive......" he whispered to himself, two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks and touching the corners of his mouth, but they were dyed with a relieved smile.

There was a sound of cars approaching in the distance, and Lu Canghan got out of the car and walked quickly to Liu Jin's side. Before he could speak, he saw a scratch on the back of his hand - the blood stain had dried up, but the wound was still new.

He suddenly remembered the mess he had seen in Liu Jin's office before, and Li Chengtai told him that the case of Jinjiutang Public Hospital had settled, and the city hall said that Lin Wanjing's matter should not continue to drag on, and asked Liu Jin to give an explanation as soon as possible. This matter has been urging for nearly half a month, Xu saw that Liu Jin did not make any moves, and he prepared an obituary early this morning and sent someone to send it, which touched the mold, Liu Jin was furious, and even tore up the obituary and drove people out.

"I said, Wan Jing is not dead! If anyone talks nonsense again, the consequences should be so papery! ”

After that, he drove out of the military port alone, and before leaving, he did not explain where to go or when he would come back.

Presumably, this wound was accidentally scratched by a porcelain shard when he was angry.

Lin Wanjing's disappearance, Liu Jin was already stunned. He assigned a special line, took a telegraph in his office, and used it only to gather information about her, and then stayed up all night and night guarding the telegram, lest the slightest negligence might miss out on useful information. Although the military and political affairs have not been delayed, his state is getting worse day by day. If this continues, I'm afraid that Lin Wanjing's whereabouts have not been clarified yet, so he will go to Lord Yama to report first!

On the way to find him, Lu Canghan had already thought clearly, he must no longer condone him to continue like this, even if decades of brotherhood are folded here today, he has to scold him awake:

Lin Wanjing is dead, and it is impossible to come back!

But when he saw the tears flowing down Liu Jin's face, he couldn't say a word when the words came to his mouth.

Here he hesitated how to speak, but he heard Liu Jin ask him first:

"Why are you here?"

"Come to you. I'm afraid you won't be able to open it! Lu Canghan didn't have a good temperament, they had been friends for decades, in his memory, he had never seen Liu Jin crying, he was not at ease, and asked:

"You...... Okay? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Jin raised his head, laughed, let out a long sigh, and said in a relaxed tone:

"It's okay, I'm happy."

Lu Canghan listened and wondered, lowered his eyes and saw Bai Ju leaning in front of the tombstone, and realized that Liu Jin was crying like this, but it was not extremely sad, but crying with joy - Liu Daolin was just a well-dressed mound in the cemetery, and his real body tomb was secretly placed here, only Liu Jin and his cronies knew about this matter, and naturally Lin Wanjing also included.

"Come to me in such a hurry, but what's the news?"

Hearing him ask, Lu Canghan came to his senses:

"Oh, yes. I just received the news that the remaining assets of the Lin family have just been auctioned within the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

"What?!"

"According to reliable sources, No. 19 Jingshan Road won the bid and sold for a sky-high price of 120,000 yuan!"

At this price, it is enough to buy an entire mountain forest in the suburbs.

"Who bought it?"

"Li Lingrui. Not only that, but he took over all the properties under Wan Jing's name at the highest price. Yes, there is! ”

When Liu Jin heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning - with his understanding of Li Lingrui, if Lin Wanjing's assets were stolen and sold, he would definitely not quietly accept all the orders, but now that he has done so, the only possibility is that he has already met Lin Wanjing and knows that it is she who needs money urgently, so he will be so unscrupulous and at any cost.

"I originally came to tell you that the person who framed Wan Jing finally couldn't hold his breath, but now it seems that it is good news." Before Lu Canghan finished speaking, Liu Jin had already left, and he hurriedly chased forward:

"Where are you going?"

"Go find Li Lingrui."

"I'll go with you."

"No, I don't. You go back first. ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I won't miss it, since she is still alive, I will wait for her to come back."
