Chen Mo turned and found a charming woman in a qipao standing behind him.
She was the manager of the auction house.
"Manager? Is something wrong?" Chen Mo asked.
The woman lightly covered her red lips and smiled charmingly, "Mr. Chen calling me 'Manager' sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?"
"My name is Meng Zhuqing, you can just call me Zhuqing."
Chen Mo felt a little awkward calling her so familiarly, so he changed his address, "Miss Meng, what brings you here?"
Meng Zhuqing didn't seem to mind. She flipped her palm, and a black diamond card appeared in her delicate hand.
"Diamond Black Card!" Xu Chengping exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the card.
This was the diamond black card that allowed access to private rooms, and there were only a few of them in the entire Longhua City!
He hadn't expected the Jialong Auction House to give Chen Mo such a high-level membership card.
Meng Zhuqing smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, your consumption this time exceeded one billion, so you have reached the level of our Diamond Black Card. Please keep this card. In the future, when you attend our auctions, you can reserve a private room in advance."
Chen Mo was also a little surprised. He reached out and took the card from Meng Zhuqing's hand. "Thank you, Miss Meng."
"Hehehe."
Hearing Chen Mo's address again, Meng Zhuqing couldn't help but sway her slender waist and giggle.
"Zhuqing has never heard anyone call me Miss Meng before, but it sounds quite nice. Zhuqing likes it very much."
Then, Meng Zhuqing leaned close to Chen Mo's ear and whispered, "However, Mr. Chen, I also need to remind you that not long ago, private room 02 requested your information. Be careful when you leave."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo frowned.
Others might not know his relationship with the Ouyang family, but he was very clear about it.
If they found out his identity, the Ouyang family would surely not let him go.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Meng," Chen Mo said gratefully.
However, their proximity was such that the faint fragrance from Meng Zhuqing made Chen Mo's heart flutter.
"Alright, I wish you good luck." Meng Zhuqing cast a charming glance at Chen Mo with her beautiful eyes, then turned and left, swaying her body.
"Gulp." Xu Chengping couldn't help but swallow as he looked at her perfect figure and the long legs hidden beneath the qipao.
Chen Mo looked at Xu Chengping beside him in surprise.
He noticed that the other man's eyes were almost following Meng Zhuqing.
He couldn't help but tease, "Boss Xu is truly full of vigor. What is this called? The old are still strong."
Xu Chengping realized his own awkwardness and quickly gave an embarrassed laugh. "Heh, as the saying goes, a beautiful woman is sought by a gentleman. Director Chen, you jest."
Chen Mo said nothing more and opened the car door to get in first.
Once in the car, Xu Chengping asked curiously, "Director Chen, what did Manager Meng say to you just now?"
Chen Mo replied, "She said that Ouyang Mu requested our information and might be planning something against us."
"Screech!"
The car, which had just started, was brought to a halt by Xu Chengping slamming on the brakes.
"What!"
"Ouyang Mu is planning something against us? They, they won't stop us on the road, will they?!" Xu Chengping appeared very anxious.
There were only two of them, and for such a prominent family, dealing with them would be incredibly simple.
Chen Mo nodded. "It's very possible."
"Then, then what do we do?" Xu Chengping asked nervously.
Thinking back now, Chen Mo's actions at the auction, snatching two items from the Ouyang family consecutively, was practically courting death!
Chen Mo instructed, "After we leave the manor, stop the car in the middle of the road, and I'll get out with the items."
"That's impossible! Director Chen, although I, Xu Chengping, fear death, I won't abandon you and leave. If we go, we go together."
Xu Chengping's words surprised Chen Mo.
However, Chen Mo insisted on getting out, "Don't worry, it's easier for me to handle it alone. If we're intercepted on the road by car, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."
"Can you really handle it alone?" Xu Chengping asked hesitantly.
"Boss Xu, do you think someone as young as me would go looking for death?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Xu Chengping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he knew that with Chen Mo's personality, he wouldn't seek death.
"Director Chen, you must be careful then," Xu Chengping said as he stopped the car in the middle of the road.
Chen Mo nodded.
He carried a backpack containing all the purchased items.
As soon as Chen Mo got out of the car, he felt several pairs of eyes fixed on him.
After sending Xu Chengping away, Chen Mo walked towards the roadside and headed towards a park along the sidewalk.
It was almost noon, and the park was mostly deserted.
However, as soon as Chen Mo entered the park, two figures appeared in front of him.
Chen Mo slowly stopped. Soon, Chen Mo realized that two more people had appeared behind him.
A total of four people, blocking Chen Mo in the middle.
Chen Mo's gaze fell on one of the figures in front. "Mr. Hong, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
One of the four people was someone Chen Mo had met before – Hong Jianguang, who had blocked him at Lin Chang Building.
"Chen Mo, you have some nerve. You injured my young master, and now you're competing with the Ouyang family for items. I can only say you're tired of living." A cold glint flashed in Hong Jianguang's eyes.
Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.
It seemed that Hong Jianguang's visit this time was not about Ouyang Fuhua, but about the two items he had snatched.
Although the Nine-Leaf Ginseng was precious, it shouldn't be enough to make the Ouyang family take action.
The only possibility was that Jade Wave Jade Bi. Chen Mo thought that the item his ancestor fancied must be extraordinary, otherwise, the Ouyang family wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
Chen Mo sneered, "The Ouyang family, what kind of bullshit family is this? They couldn't win the bid against me, so they resorted to such underhanded tactics. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Kid, stop your glib talk. I'm telling you, it's useless."
"Hand over the items, and I promise not to take your life," Hong Jianguang said mockingly.
In this place, at this time, Hong Jianguang had no doubt that Qin Yuyan wouldn't be able to arrive in time.
"Heh heh." Chen Mo let out a cold laugh.
Then he said contemptuously, "For me to hand over the items, the four of you are probably not qualified."
"Arrogant." Hong Jianguang's expression turned cold. He stepped forward, and in an instant, he was in front of Chen Mo.
He threw a punch, aiming directly at Chen Mo's chest.
Before the fist even landed, a fierce gust of wind from the punch blew against Chen Mo.
Seeing Chen Mo make no move to dodge, Hong Jianguang's lips curled up. This time, he had used his full strength, believing he could heavily injure Chen Mo with a single blow.
