262: Chapter 261: Xiao Sa 262: Chapter 261: Xiao Sa “Of course, there is, or why would I introduce her to you? She’s someone who takes her work very seriously and pays great attention to detail,” Zhao Mingjie didn’t know why Liu Hun suddenly asked about Bai Lingfei. “Have you had any private contact with her? Or have you heard anything about her?” Liu Hun continued to question Zhao Mingjie. Zhao Mingjie shook her head and said, “I haven’t had any private contact with her, nor have I heard any rumors about her. After all, our contact has only been professional. Are you worried about her, thinking of looking into her?” Liu Hun shook his head and replied, “No need, let’s first secure this auction.” Returning to Liao Qian Ji’s residence, by eavesdropping on Hong Yuangui’s phone calls, Liu Hun indeed obtained quite a bit of valuable information. As expected, Hong Yuangui was in cahoots with insiders at the court, who leaked to Hong Yuangui that the seized assets were worth tens of millions, and it was up to Hong Yuangui to take action. After confirming this, Liu Hun felt assured; he was set to make a definite profit from the auction. Moreover, from the intercepted phone calls, he made an unexpected discovery; Hong Yuangui was under strict control by his wife, but paradoxically, he was deeply in love with a mistress he kept on the side. On the day the Intermediate People’s Court officially started the auction, Liu Hun arrived at the court on time in a car driven by Zhong Xiao. Before getting out of the car, Liu Hun repeatedly instructed Zhong Xiao to be careful and told him not to contact Bai Lingfei. In courtroom number two, Liu Hun saw Bai Lingfei again. Today, Bai Lingfei was dressed in a simple black suit for women and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, looking quite intellectual. While smiling and shaking hands with Liu Hun, Bai Lingfei, unwilling to give up, once again attempted to use her superpower to peek into Liu Hun’s mind, again ending in failure. Hey, you really won’t cry until you see the coffin, you won’t give up until you’re at the Yellow River. Liu Hun thought to himself, yet he maintained a smile on his face and said, “Lawyer Bai, thank you for the information you provided; it’s been very helpful.” “That’s good. However, I’ve got one piece of good news and one piece of bad news for you,” Bai Lingfei withdrew her hand, not beating around the bush and began directly, “The good news is that today’s auction will be covered by many media outlets. With the media’s attention, as long as you win the auction successfully, you can leave all the remaining legal procedures to me. There won’t be any problems, and you can take over all of Jinxin Mining’s assets.” Liu Hun had been worried about this issue; he indeed feared that after winning the auction, someone would cause trouble and consume a large portion of Jinxin Mining’s assets, leaving him with much less. Now with Bai Lingfei’s word, the matter was settled like a stone sinking into the river. “The bad news is... the original sealed bidding has turned into a public raise of the bid,” Bai Lingfei said, her face revealing a curious smile, then continued, “Perhaps, Mr. Liu, you are so informed and have learned a lot of information, but your competitors know as much as you do, perhaps even more.” Clearly, her words carried a deeper implication. It’s as clear as daylight why a widow undresses at her doorstep, whether for heat or for women, everyone knows what’s going on. Liu Hun wasn’t concerned with Bai Lingfei’s hidden meanings, what struck him was... public bidding! This twist was like biting into tofu and unexpectedly chipping a tooth. If it were to come down to public bidding, the cost could jump from the original two or three million to a higher level. The most crucial problem wasn’t this, however; it was that Hong Yuangui also knew the reserve price. As soon as Liu Hun placed a bid, Hong Yuangui would surely outbid, and in the end, the deal could cost tens of millions, which would be a major hassle. Just when Liu Hun was feeling a headache coming on, he suddenly remembered Bai Lingfei’s words about “having a lot of information” and instantly came up with an idea. He gave Bai Lingfei a slight smile and said, “Lawyer Bai, how can you be so sure that my rivals know more than I do? Sometimes being too presumptuous isn’t a good thing. Let’s go inside!” Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, Bai Lingfei bit her lip hard; his words were clearly directed at her! She followed Liu Hun into courtroom number two, curious to see just how capable Liu Hun really was. Just as Bai Lingfei had said, the courtroom number two was indeed filled with many journalists—it was unclear to him whether these journalists were brought by Bai Lingfei or were there to flatter the propogation of legal awareness. The courtroom was packed with people; Liu Hun immediately spotted Hong Yuangui seated in the fifth row by the door, looking confident with a ruddy complexion as if he were sure to win, looking down on everyone as if they were his underlings. Bai Lingfei went to help Liu Hun with the information registration and fetch the numbered paddle, while Liu Hun chose to sit next to Hong Yuangui. Holding card number three and fanning himself with it, Hong Yuangui glanced over at Liu Hun, not only failing to see him as a worthy opponent but looking at him disdainfully and asked, “Are you here to bid too?” Liu Hun nodded in response, “Yes, I am.” “Cut the crap, you didn’t even have a bidder’s card! What the hell are you auctioning for? Scram, seeing strangers lately just jinxes me!” Hong Yuangui cursed Liu Hun, his brow furrowed. Just a few days earlier, he had been hit on the head for no good reason and even spent a day at the local police station, with nothing worthwhile to show for it. “Mr. Liu, we got the card, number nine,” Bai Lingfei approached Liu Hun with a smile. Clearly able to dig up information on Hong Yuangui, she definitely knew who he was. Seeing Liu Hun seated next to Hong Yuangui, she was pondering what Liu Hun must be up to. “Wow, these legs, this face... just sit down and stay put. It’s about to start, no more scooting around.” Hong Yuangui’s eyes stuck to Bai Lingfei like glue, fearing she might leave. He hurried to secure Liu Hun’s presence. Hong Yuangui had a plan now: to make a showy bid at the auction to display his considerable wealth, thereby catching Bai Lingfei’s attention. The end goal was as certain as a turtle crowned king—everything falling into place. This kid at his side was nothing more than a prop to showcase his might! “Beep beep beep!” Liu Hun’s cell phone started ringing. Pulling it out, he saw a message from Liao Qianji, which read simply: Number 3, recognize the card, not the person. Liu Hun had already conjured up a plan, and Liao Qianji’s message was the cherry on top. He promptly sent a text back to Liao Qianji: At the courthouse gate, two women fight over a husband. “Oi, what kind of trash phone is that?! And you’re flashing it around here?” Yuan Honggui said as he pulled out a phone from his bulging waist, “Amber! Solid gold! Gold-plated with diamonds! The real deal! Ninety-nine grams pure!” “Amber?” Liu Hun knew Yuan Honggui was just showing off, clearly aiming to impress Bai Lingfei. Well, today he was going to indulge Yuan Honggui and let the man make an utter fool of himself to repulse Bai Lingfei. “Solid interest rate! Get it?! Shows you’ve got no culture! I could tell, just look at the lady here, definitely passed that what’s-it... EFL Level 5!” Yuan Honggui wished his neck could stretch a full meter to dive into the unfathomable depths of Bai Lingfei’s cleavage. Liu Hun curled his lips into a mischievous smile and directly said to Yuan Honggui, “Sir, it seems you have a lot in common with Miss Bai Lingfei. Why don’t we switch seats then?” “Clear sight! Sensible man! I like people like you!” Yuan Honggui said, and, fat as a channel catfish, he squirmed his way next to Bai Lingfei. Bai Lingfei had not expected Liu Hun to actually let such a repulsive catfish right next to her. Out of politeness, she couldn’t just up and leave, so she managed a strained smile, cursing Liu Hun in her mind. She suspected that Liu Hun was doing it on purpose and might already know she’d been probing him with her superpower. “A thirty-thousand yuan amber phone! How about that? I’ve got another one at home, and if you’re willing, we could delve into it thoroughly tonight,” Yuan Honggui said, his face oozing grease as he smiled at Bai Lingfei. “It’s Apple, not amber, and in English, there’s only Level 4 and 6, not Level 5,” Bai Lingfei replied to Yuan Honggui, trying to stay polite. Yuan Honggui’s face flushed red. He thought to himself that tonight, when he gave her a “meat injection,” she wouldn’t be so cocky. Though his mind raced, he managed to say, “Miss Bai, don’t mind my being blunt. Everyone here, including your... client, they’re all here to watch me perform! I’m the real winner of this auction! I’ve got the means and don’t care about the money! That’s how swollen with cash I am! What’s a few million!” Bai Lingfei felt so nauseated she nearly vomited her dinner from the night before. Glancing over, she noticed that the sex-crazed Yuan Honggui had left his bidding card at his original seat, which was now in Liu Hun’s hands. Since Liu Hun had grossed her out, she decided to return the favor. Smiling at Yuan Honggui, she said, “I don’t really like men who aren’t careful. I prefer those who always remember to carry their possessions with them.” Bai Lingfei’s smile sent shivers down Yuan Honggui’s spine, almost shaking him off his chair. He hadn’t thought about the bidder’s card at all and quickly pulled out his car keys and wallet, proclaiming to Bai Lingfei, “A Mercedes! An S5 series Benz! I’ve got three at home! Bank cards from HSBC and J.P. Morgan! I hardly ever use domestic ones! Just rolling in money!” Pig! He’s nothing but a pig! Still clueless even though he’s been played! Calling him a pig would be an insult to pigs! Bai Lingfei was fuming, seriously contemplating slamming her size thirty-four shoe into Yuangui’s size forty-two face. “Little Three has passion~ Little Three has love~ In Little Three’s world, nobody cares...” Hearing this ringtone, Yuangui knew his darling second concubine was calling. He quickly answered, ready to brush her off with a few words and continue hitting on Bai Lingfei.
