Huo Beixiao looked at the other party's eyes and said lightly: "If you feel embarrassed, then forget about this matter." I didn't intend to keep hope alive. ”

"Slow!" Dudley suddenly raised his eyes and asked Huo Beixiao very seriously: "Can you inquire, how much money do you plan to pay for the exclusive bidding right?" ”

Huo Beixiao was silent and gestured a number with his finger.

As soon as Dudley saw this number, he immediately slapped his thigh: "Gotcha! I'm not going to beat around the bush! If you can pay me the same price, I'm sure I'll be able to help you do it! ”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin's eyes widened, looking very shocked.

"You want such a high salary?! Who can afford that? ”

Dudley smiled slyly: "If you can't pay the full amount, then pay the deposit first!" When the 10,000 acres of coast officially fall into your hands, the money will soon be earned. By then, it's too late for you two to thank me! ”

When Gu Nanyin heard this, he cautiously turned his head and asked Huo Beixiao, "What do you think?" ”

Huo Beixiao stared at Dudley's face tightly, as if he wanted to see what he really thought from the other party's expression. After a while, he asked faintly, "How do you prove that you can be trusted?" ”

Dudley spread his hands helplessly: "If you really don't believe me, you can even waive the deposit." All you need to do is sign a payment agreement with me and I'll be able to get things done. So you can rest assured, right? ”

After being silent for a long time, Huo Beixiao stood up and said coldly: "I have to go back and think about this matter, and I will give you an answer after I think about it." ”

"Okay, then I'll hear from you." Dudley stood up and watched Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin leave. Just as they walked to the door, Dudley suddenly said again: "Mr. Huo, you have to hurry up!" If you wait until the bidding is officially open to the public, it will really be cold even the daylily. ”

"Got it." Huo Beixiao led Gu Nanyin out of the private room without looking back.

On the way back to the hotel, Gu Nanyin asked Huo Beixiao: "Can you tell me your thoughts now?" ”

"What's in your mind?" Huo Beixiao asked coldly.

"First of all, how did you know that things were going to turn around? Could it be that Dudley took the initiative to call, which was all expected by you? ”

Huo Beixiao shook his head slyly and smiled: "If I really had such a great ability, I would have gone to tell fortunes a long time ago." In fact, I thought Shi Jin would personally call and invite us to meet. But this guy was a lot smarter than I thought, and I ended up finding a stand-in. ”

Gu Nanyin's eyes widened and asked, "How could a person as principled as Shi Jin take the initiative to change his opinion of us?" ”

"Let me ask you a question first, when you walked into Shi Jin's house yesterday, what was your first feeling?"

Hearing Huo Beixiao ask, Gu Nanyin said while thinking: "First impression...... It must be those artifacts that are placed everywhere in his house. They give people a very classical, very luxurious feeling, even very extravagant. ”

Huo Beixiao nodded: "That's right, I felt the same way as you at the time." And I can tell you very clearly that most of those calligraphy and paintings placed in his house are extremely rare treasures. You can imagine how much Shi Jinguang spent on these treasures. ”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin immediately understood what Huo Beixiao meant.

"So you think Shi Jin's wealth is coming from the wrong way?"

"I can't guarantee that his wealth came from the right place, but one thing is certain, given his position and character, he would never have earned that much money. From this, I believe that Jin Shi is likely to be openly and secretly greedy for money. ”

Gu Nanyin frowned slightly: "Even if what you say makes sense, I still have an important question that I don't understand." Why wouldn't he mind if we entered his house and found this suspicious place? If you think about it from the perspective of hidden wealth, there is no need for him to put those cultural relics in such a conspicuous position! ”

Huo Beixiao smiled faintly: "I'm afraid there is only one possibility: that villa is actually in someone else's name, if he really investigates, he can get out at any time and draw a clear line." Also, the reason why he let us in yesterday was because Jinshi knew very well that we would keep our meeting with him absolutely confidential. Then he also wanted to meet and get to know us better. ”

Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I want to find out how much benefit he can get from us, right?" ”

"Clever." Huo Beixiao gave Gu Nanyin a two-word evaluation. Then he said in a cold tone: "That so-called friend Dudley is actually the person sent by Shi Jin to negotiate with us. Through his hands, we asked for our money, and in the end all the money went into Jinshi's pocket. When the time comes, he will be able to buy more artifacts to enjoy. ”

Gu Nanyin sighed deeply: "This person is an invisible corrupt official, if he is allowed to continue in this position, I am afraid that the entire bidding process will become a bribery war." ”

Huo Beixiao nodded: "So, I don't plan to send a penny to this kind of person." Instead, I'm going to find a way to get him out of his current position before the bidding begins! ”

Gu Nanyin was slightly stunned, and then said in a calm tone: "With our strength alone, I'm afraid this thing is very difficult to do." If you want to go more smoothly, you may have to rely on the power of the four major families. ”

Huo Beixiao waved his hand lightly: "To be honest, I didn't plan to tell them about this at all." Think about it, with Jin Shi's IQ, if the four major families have moves, can he not know? If he hides all the evidence in advance, all our efforts will be in vain. ”

"If you don't ask the four families...... We had to make the plan a little more detailed and elaborate! ”

After listening to Gu Nanyin's suggestion, Huo Beixiao's eyes flashed, as if he already had a general idea.

"We still returned to City A overnight as planned. When we get back, we'll have to find someone to discuss the next steps. ”

"Looking for whom?"

"Mo Lijin."

In the past few days when Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin "disappeared", Lu Qiran has been sticking to his post. Although he has been looking forward to the early return of his two bosses, he has always been attentive in his work without the slightest sloppiness and slackness.

In the morning, Lu Qiran, who was busy, heard the mobile phone ringing, so he instinctively picked it up to his ear. Because of the work at hand that instinctively stopped, he didn't even have time to look at the caller's name on the screen.

"Hey, who's that?"

"We're home, I'll tell you."

When Huo Beixiao's cold and tired voice came to his ears, Lu Qiran's whole person was instantly very happy. He hurriedly shushed his boss and said that if the other party needed anything, he would do it immediately.
