Li Nianxian's visit to Hongyan this time was not purely for the auction, which even Concubine Wan Xiao could have roughly guessed if she had not investigated before.
After all, Hong Yan is an illegal organization that cannot be brought to the fore, and the Li family's Yi Yuanzi refining industry is closely monitored by the Glorious Republic. Even if the Glorious Republic cannot take back this industry from the Li family, the Li family dares to challenge it.
Those in power, so...
As the eldest young master, Li Nian will appear at Hong Yan's auction house first, which is already very thought-provoking.
Although Wei Yining is not good at interacting with people, she is talented and intelligent. She probably noticed something when Li Nianxian showed up.
first……
This Young Master Li is obviously not an ordinary pick-up guy.
Secondly.
His active appearance obviously had a purpose.
So Wei Yining turned around and looked at Li Nianxian and said: "It's really strange. How can someone with your status appear in Hong Yan's auction house?"
Li Nian laughed first, then asked, "I should be asking this question to you, Miss, right?"
"I?"
"Well, from my point of view, you are incompatible with everything here, but you are still here. Why?"
Wei Yining was slightly startled, then pretended to be confused and said: "Out of place? Are you saying that I should be kicked out?"
Li Nian shook his head first: "No, no, no, Miss, I misunderstood. I mean, everything here is too dirty. A person with a noble temperament like you should not appear here."
Wei Yining sneered in her heart and snorted slightly on her face. After shaking the wine glass in her hand, Wei Yining said: "I'll just assume that you are complimenting me." Go ahead and Wei Yining drank the wine in the glass.
Then, he put down the cup, nodded lightly to Li Nian, and then left gracefully.
Li Nian was left alone for a while, then smiled softly: "Interesting..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zaixu, the housekeeper of the Li family, came over.
"Master, I just received a notice from them that the additional auction may be postponed for a few hours."
Li Nian ignored him and walked over to pick up the wine glass that Wei Yining had placed there. After pouring a glass of wine, he also looked at the moonlight, as if he was feeling the changes in the wine in the glass.
"Master?" Li Zaixu looked a little confused.
After Li Nian examined the wine for a little while, he followed Wei Yining's example and drank it in one gulp. He also specially found the place where Wei Yining had left his lip mark.
If this scene fell into Xue Yi's eyes, he would probably tear this pervert to pieces on the spot.
However, Xue Yi was not here at this time, so Li Nianxian enjoyed this moment very much.
After finishing the glass of wine, Li Nian first licked his lips with unsatisfied interest, and then said coldly: "It's not up to them to decide whether to postpone or not."
Li Zaixu was shocked when he heard this, and then said a little worriedly: "Master, we have done a lot of things to attract the limelight this time. If we continue, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Li Nianxian looked at Li Zaixu with cold eyes.
The moment he was stared at by that gaze, Li Zaixu felt a bone-chilling coldness all over his body. It was not a simple aura oppression, but the special ability possessed by Li Nianxian.
"No...nothing..."
"Huh..." Li Nian smiled first. He returned to the banquet hall. After searching the crowd for a while, he locked eyes on Wei Yining who was standing by the central pool. Then he said: "Go and get me the necklace, young master.
Gotta do something serious!"
necklace?
!
Li Zaixu complained secretly in his heart.
Before going out, the master repeatedly told him to take good care of Li Nianxian. But who would have thought that the young master at home and the young master outside were completely different people.
No, just a few hours ago, Li Nianxian forcibly took the picture of the "Galaxy Trace" for a sky-high price of 500 million Thains.
And he seems to be planning to use this necklace to please a certain girl?
If the master found out about this later, he would probably be done with it as a housekeeper.
But Li Zaixu knew the consequences of defying Li Nianxian, so although he hesitated a little, he still went back and fetched the necklace and gave it to Li Nianxian.
Looking at the necklace in his hand, Li Nian said first, "Okay, I have nothing to do with you here. Just go and make arrangements for your return trip."
Li Zaixu had a lot to say in his heart, but in the end he didn't dare to say it out.
"yes……"
…
On the other side, Concubine Wan Xiao, who was so drunk that she was "unconscious", was taken back to her room by Lou Shengli.
Although Lou Shengli was interested in the girl in his arms, Lou Shengli, who had received a good upbringing since childhood, was an absolute gentleman, so...he couldn't do such a thing as taking advantage of others' danger while drunk.
He was just worried that the girl would be in danger, so Lou Shengli brought her back, and upon her return, he arranged for the servants to put her in a separate private room in the box to rest.
After he changed his clothes, he did not return to the banquet hall. Instead, he sat quietly in the private room, as if waiting for someone.
The "unconscious" Concubine Wan Xiao was stripped naked by two maids, put on pajamas and stuffed into a soft big bed.
After the arrangements were made, I also carefully placed water and sobering medicine on the bedside.
Concubine Wan Xiao lay comfortably on the bed. She waited until she could no longer hear any noise outside, then opened her eyes and quietly got out of bed.
…
Outside the single room, Lou Shengli was looking at an agreement intently.
However, he didn't know that a group of curious little ants were sitting on his shoulders at this time, looking at the contents of the agreement.
However, this agreement uses special genetic encryption processing. Even if Concubine Wan Xiao and Lou Shengli are sitting side by side at this time, they will not be able to see the specific content of the agreement without obtaining the corresponding permissions.
But this is not difficult for Concubine Wan Xiao.
Since you need genes, just ask these little ants to find them.
But when the genetic secrets were revealed, Lou Shengli had already seen the last part of the agreement.
Concubine Wan Xiao looked at the content above, first confused, then shocked, and finally solemn.
This is not a simple cooperation or an ordinary agreement involving a relationship of interest, but a confidentiality agreement involving a major plan.
Obviously Lou Shengli is one of the invitees to the agreement. Only if he is willing to sign the agreement can he continue to understand the details of the plan. Several key words contained in the agreement are very sensitive.
Those are "Factor", "Homecoming" and "Earth".
If these things are seen by ordinary people, they will at most be associated with the "Return to Earth" plan that the Glorious Republic is promoting with all its strength. However, in Wan Xiaofei's eyes, once these are related to "factors", it means that things are not going well.
So simple again.
…
After Lou Shengli read the agreement, he did not sign and submit his authority certificate immediately.
Instead, he closed the agreement, closed his eyes and hesitated for a long time.
It seems that this confidentiality agreement must contain many strict conditions. As the head of the Lou family, Lou Shengli naturally cannot make a decision so easily.
But time did not allow him to think too much.
About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the door.
When Lou Shengli heard the sound, his body trembled obviously. He stood up in a panic and straightened his clothes.
Concubine Wan Xiao looked strange and thought to herself, who is this person? Is there any need to be so nervous?
…
After a while, the door opened and a slender figure walked into the room.
He was wearing a suit and a magician-like hat. The outline of his face was not very clear, but it was clear that he was a relatively old man.
Wan Xiaofei immediately collected the person's facial features and compared them across the entire domain.
It turned out that the result of the comparison was actually a person who had been marked "dead".
The man's name was Philim, a tobacco dealer who originally lived in Cerberus. He disappeared after the Golden Birdcage incident. However, during the global identity information recollection, Philim was found again in Erub.
Moreover, he was running a tavern, but he seemed not to remember his past identity, so the collector at the time added a special note to Filim, called "Suspected creation of Turaya".
Later, perhaps due to the sharp eyes of the collectors, Filim died suddenly less than three years after regaining his legal citizenship. The time of death was July 1, 145 AD.
It was the waiter of his tavern who discovered Filim's death. According to records at the time, Firim passed away in his sleep. After his death, his body was decomposed and the ash mass formed by the decomposition was buried in Aoi.
In a very inconspicuous little cemetery in Rube.
Based on the above information, Concubine Wan Xiao is basically certain that either Ferim faked his death, or that the mysterious man who suddenly appeared just used the appearance of a dead person. After all, it is too difficult to change his own appearance with current technology.
Simple... Although plastic surgery beyond a certain range is expressly prohibited in the Glorious Republic.
But the next scene made Concubine Wan Xiao a little confused about the situation.
Lou Shengli stepped forward to greet him very respectfully and said, "Mr. Felim, you are here!"
‘I’m going?! He’s really not dead?’ Concubine Wan Xiao was slightly surprised in her heart.
Philim nodded, took off his hat, walked to the light and sat down.
I saw that the face that was still unclear in the dark became much clearer when it came to the light, and at the same time... it also became much more terrifying.
Because that old face was completely gray and looked lifeless. If his eyes weren't still moving, Concubine Wan Xiao would definitely have thought it was a dead face.
When Lou Shengli saw Felim's appearance, his expression was obviously a little nervous. It seemed that he was not too familiar with the person in front of him.
But when he saw Filim taking off his gloves, he immediately came over, knelt down on one knee, then took Firim's left hand and kissed the ring on Firim's index finger.
This scene made Concubine Wan Xiao feel very weird, especially the ring.
Through the image collection of red ants, Concubine Wan Xiao soon had an identical imitation ring in her hand.
The material of the ring is unknown, and it doesn't look static at all. However, Concubine Wan Xiao is very concerned about the pattern of circles and triangles on the ring, because this is not the first time she has seen similar patterns.
