Chapter 1085: Unfortunately, Sister Qiao Didn’t Come with Me to See the World

Jiang Li lamented his bitter life. He had such a friend, but he couldn’t interfere in Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan’s matters.

He could only stop another taxi and open the door and say to the girl, “Let’s go. I’ll send you back first.”

“No…”

Not giving Qiao Nian a chance to reject him, he smiled, shrugged, and said, “Let’s go! I already told your father that I’ll send you off. You can’t make me break my promise.”

Qiao Nian was speechless.

The girl pressed down on her cap and walked like a big boss. She didn’t say anything else and slowly moved over and got into the car.

It was still daytime in Beijing. Because of the time difference, it was already eight in the evening in the illegal district.

The auctions in the illegal district had always been particular about the venue. It was very confidential, and no mistakes were tolerated.

In the basement of the Jin Chen Hotel.

Compared to the dazzling decorations in the lobby, the auction’s decorations were even more luxurious. The marble floor was so bright that it reflected light. The top floor of the white jade pillar was very tall. On the ceiling was a crystal lamp. The crystal tilted down and illuminated the entire scene.

At the entrance of the venue, special bodyguards checked the arriving guests one by one.

After the bodyguards verified their identities, they still had to pass through an infrared door to check for weapons.

It was simply 365 degrees without any blind spots.

Ye Wangchuan and the others arrived at the venue early. They were VIP guests. A waiter led them into a private room with a big balcony that could look down on the auction venue.

Inside were circular sofas, a bar, wine, fruits, and vegetables.

If they weren’t at the auction venue in the illegal district, they would have the illusion that they were in the lounge of a high-end clubhouse.

It was so luxurious!

It was Qin Si’s first time attending an auction in the illegal district. He held his breath along the way and was dazzled. He only relaxed when the waiter left after closing the door. A layer of sweat appeared on his back as he heaved a sigh of relief. “Damn, what auction is this? The security is so strict!”

He walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and finished it in one gulp. Then, he put down the teacup and said with lingering fear, “Did you see the people in charge of checking the entrance outside?”

He raised his eyebrows, looking cynical, but his eyes were very good. “Those people should be mercenaries, right?”

It was just an auction, but they actually hired mercenaries.

What a f*cking lineup!

This was not the first time Gu San had followed Ye Wangchuan here. He was already used to this. Other than him, Luo Qing and Chen Zhu’s faces were green and they were still tense, having similar reactions to Qin Si. Gu San had been here many times. Instead, he felt relaxed and did not take it seriously. “This is an illegal area, after all. The things they sell are either rare antiques or weapons and rare metals that are not allowed to be sold internationally. It’s normal to have mercenaries. Don’t worry, Young Master Qin. They won’t do anything. Just check and don’t let any Tom, Dick, or Harry enter.”

What was Master Wang afraid of with his identity card?

Hearing this, Qin Si calmed down a little and knew that he had been too nervous earlier. However, it was indeed his first time seeing such a lineup. It was not embarrassing to be nervous.

He looked at the brightly lit venue of the auction outside and muttered, “Unfortunately, Sister Qiao already left. Otherwise, she could have come along to take a look and see the world…”

This was really an eye-opener. Anyway, it was an eye-opener for him!

Qin Si felt that it was a pity that Qiao Nian didn’t follow him to take a look.
