Chapter 171: Why Didn’t I See Her?

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Why Didn’t I See Her?

"Fine, he shouldn’t be in any danger for the time being," Mo Fan hooked her sensual red Lip.

As for whether he’d suffer any other misfortunes, that was hard to say.

The two returned to the hotel, and Yun Yue took out her laptop to start tracking the car.

The network system in Beiyang wasn’t perfect, and since there weren’t many roads, she found it right away.

Seeing them carry the box onto a cruise ship, both of their expressions changed.

That cruise ship happened to be the Beiyang, the place they were going to visit tonight; they had no clue what they planned to do with Nan Jingchen after taking him there.

She leaned back in her chair, thinking of Nan Jingchen’s enchantingly beautiful face, her lips curling with a faint smile, "Are Xiao Bai and Cang Leng going over?"

"They’ve disguised themselves as bodyguards and are following Zhai Quan."

"Tell them to keep an eye on where the box goes. As long as Nan Jingchen isn’t in any life-threatening danger, let him stay put. It’s more convenient!"

Her eyelids drooped, and her delicate features had a roguishly playful smile on them.

He really had helped her a lot.

"Okay." Mo Fan sent a message to the two.

Nan Jingchen insisted on coming over; let’s see if he dares to run around next time.

"By the way, what did he come here for?"

She hadn’t asked before because he wasn’t the type to join in the fun without a reason, yet he made a point of coming over.

"He seems to be bidding on something to give as a gift, probably to a girl," Mo Fan raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t gone out in the last two years, nor had he heard of him having a girlfriend, so who was he giving it to?

Yun Yue’s gaze flickered at those words, "Do you have a picture?"

"Yes, it’s a Jade Pendant, quite beautiful."

Nan Jingchen had shown it off to him in the car before; she had glanced at it, and even just the picture was incredibly exquisite.

"Take it down." She languidly brushed aside the stray hairs fallen in front of her eyes with a lazy voice. Her porcelain-white profile was cool and bold, and Nan Jingchen probably only cared about such a person.

The thing probably wasn’t very expensive; if worse came to worst, she’d just have him work a couple more years for her.

With Xiao Chen around, the two of them didn’t dare to board the ship openly. Whether they’d slip up was uncertain, but if he saw her, he’d definitely want her to stay by his side. How would she carry out her mission then?

The two of them had swapped out their faces for more common ones, planning to disguise themselves as attendants to blend in at the auction and move around freely to observe everyone’s every action.

At six o’clock in the evening, the two prepared for the security check with the passes Zhai Quan had provided for them.

Yun Yue thought to herself that she had bought five tickets, each costing a hundred thousand, and hadn’t used a single one. She’d have to get reimbursed by Zhai Quan afterward; otherwise, it was too much of a loss.

A commotion stirred behind her. She retracted her arrogant gaze and lifted her eyes, which were perfectly poised, scanning over the crowd.

"Why did he come?"

"I have no idea, all these items are antiques. I’ve never heard that he’s into antiques."

Xiao Chen stood out strikingly among the crowd, the man possessing an air of aristocracy with profound and three-dimensional features, his tall stature emanating a powerful aura, surrounded by a group of people.

The people in line to board the Beiyang made way for her to pass through.

The man’s deep gaze swept over in this direction, as if he had noticed her peeping at him.

She quickly lowered her eyes and turned to enter, but a voice came from behind her.

"Hey, you, the attendant, aren’t very observant. Don’t you see that Master Chen is about to board? Move aside quickly."

Her back tensed, and suppressing her irritation, she bowed her head and stepped aside.

Because she sensed the man’s gaze had shifted onto her, his eyes were deep, harboring a dark gleam.

A pair of brightly polished shoes entered her field of view, and those long legs paused in front of her for a moment, a familiar scent assaulting her nostrils, making her spine stiffen.

She was so skilled in disguise, he couldn’t possibly recognize her, could he?

Xiao Chen’s profound gaze settled on her, his jaw taut, his brows slightly furrowed with a hint of coldness.

"Lift up your head."

The man’s magnetic voice, laced with aloofness, drifted down from above her, she took a deep breath, her eyes shifting in color, her hands unsure and stiff as she lifted her head.

An ordinary face came into view in his deep eyes, her gaze orderly and filled with uneasy anticipation.

His expression was cold, lips tightly closed, and those deep, seemingly bottomless black orbs soon withdrew from her, his long legs moving away to board the Beiyang.

Yun Yue lowered her head again, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

He didn’t recognize her, it seemed her skills in disguise were still top-notch.

The people around had wanted to watch a scene unfold, this waitress was far too oblivious, daring to act so brazenly in front of Master Chen, they had thought she would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, but she got off so lightly instead.

Xiao Chen, a presence that made all forces of the country wary, not knowing how many tricks he had up his sleeve, ruthless in his methods, those eyes instilled fear in everyone.

"Next time, be more careful." The person from before spoke a word of caution, then boarded the Beiyang.

Mo Fan stood by her side, his heart having leaped to his throat earlier, in fear of being recognized.

The two passed through security and boarded the Beiyang. The group including Xiao Chen had been allowed to go aboard without any checks, the security letting them through directly.

The two entered the kitchen, and upon exiting, one held a tray as they familiarized themselves with the Beiyang’s environment.

...

"Master Chen, your sudden arrival must have scared that bunch half to death; they’re probably wondering what you’re here for now," Feng Ye said with a rakish smile.

Whenever he appeared where he wasn’t expected, everyone became alert, whether it was to deal with someone or if a big move was coming, it was enough to cause fear.

But actually, Master Chen had no big plans this time; he was simply here to attend an auction.

Xiao Chen kept his lips pressed together in silence, he had felt a certain gaze taking his measure just now, very direct, reminding him of a child.

He rubbed his temples, figuring it was probably an illusion from missing her too much.

He, who usually acted with decisive swiftness, had started to behave abnormally ever since meeting that kid.

His fingers, distinct in their joints, tapped the phone screen, sending out a message.

She seemed to have taken a few days off to rest at home, probably sleeping at that hour. He put his phone away and listened to Feng Ye’s introduction.

"Master Chen, Feng Ye told me you came here because you had your eye on something, just say the word and I’ll have it sent over to you, no need for you to come all the way out here," Zhai Quan walked in, followed by Xiao Bai and Cang Leng.

Both their gazes fell on them, their eyes slightly narrowed, these two were no ordinary characters.

Zhai Quan bragged, "Let me introduce these two to you, this is Xiao Bai and Cang Leng, subordinates from Other Shore Flower, ranked fourth and fifth in Golden Net."

Feng Ye raised an eyebrow, these two were just in their twenties. He had heard that everyone in Golden Net was unusually young, but now he witnessed it was true.

There were rumors of a 17-year-old, he wondered if it was true.

"Didn’t you say you invited Other Shore Flower? Why don’t I see her?" Feng Ye raised his brow; neither of these were Other Shore Flower.

Although they were ranked fourth and fifth in Golden Net, Wuxin was the second-ranked assassin on the entire leaderboard, only Other Shore Flower was a match for her.

"The boss operates better from the shadows." Xiao Bai’s delicate face showed no fear facing him, while the other man exuded an air of refined gravitas, merely sitting there imposing a sense of oppression.
