- Chapter 50 - Danger at the Auction House
Mr. Fu’s reply was, as always, to send him a video of the environment upon arrival and to keep him updated with messages. He also transferred a considerable sum of money, telling him to have fun.
Ji Xia felt extremely guilty, almost confessing everything. He held back at the last moment, thinking he would confess after giving the birthday surprise.
He clicked to receive the red envelope, obediently replied to everything, but his hands tapping the screen were shaking.
To keep it a secret from Mr. Fu, Xu Le first took Ji Xia to an arcade to shoot the check-in video, and then they proceeded to the auction house. Jiang Feng followed them, running errands and catering to their needs.
When the three entered the venue, the auction was already past the halfway mark.
According to the information Jiang Feng had dug up, the item they were interested in was about to be auctioned.
“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Jiang the Second?”
As soon as they sat down, they heard a cynical voice nearby.
Ji Xia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in his early twenties with dyed yellow hair. He resembled Zhao Kuo somewhat, which immediately made Ji Xia dislike him.
The young man’s gaze was fixed on his face, trailing over him like a cold, wet snake’s tongue, making Ji Xia feel a shiver of dread.
Zhao Cheng genuinely hadn’t expected that simply coming to bid on an item to retaliate against the Fu family patriarch who was responsible for his brother being placed under house arrest based on information he got from Fu Su, he would encounter such a beauty.
Dressed simply in a T-shirt and jeans, he was already so uniquely beautiful. If he were dressed in the clothes Zhao Cheng preferred, he would surely be breathtakingly stunning.
His perverse possessiveness began to act up again. He desperately wanted to capture the person, lock them up, and “cherish” them properly.
But first, he had to deal with a certain piece of trash.
The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, and he mocked, “Didn’t Young Master Jiang the Second go bankrupt a while ago? How do you still have money to come to a place like this?”
Jiang Feng’s face had soured from the moment he saw Zhao Cheng. Hearing the greeting sent a chill down his spine, and he wanted to turn and leave.
But he had clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that this Young Master Zhao the Second wasn’t the type to be meddlesome, especially not in his affairs. Young Master Zhao the Second probably found it beneath him to even glance at him.
He hadn’t expected Zhao Cheng to expose his secret so directly.
But facing this well-known lunatic in the Beijing circle, who had even packaged and sent his own brother to a mental asylum, Jiang Feng dared not offend him. He could only stand there, sweating nervously, forcing a smile.
Xu Le’s delicate brows were tightly furrowed. He looked at the arrogant Zhao Cheng, then at the obsequious and fawning Jiang Feng, and his heart sank.
He practically leaped from his seat, his hand gripping Jiang Feng’s collar trembling violently. “You—your family went bankrupt? How much is half the company’s shares worth now?”
Zhao Cheng’s languid voice floated over. “Since it’s bankrupt, naturally it’s worthless.”
Xu Le’s eyes were bloodshot. He swung his hand and punched the man’s face. “You lied to me! How dare you lie to me. Give me back my house and savings!”
An Omega’s strength was naturally no threat to an Alpha. Jiang Feng pushed hard, knocking Xu Le to the ground. “You stinking b1tch, what kind of place is this? What are you freaking out about? I lied to you? Humph, and you telling me you were a down-and-out young master wasn’t a lie? We signed a clear, written agreement. Shares in exchange for your house and savings. Even if you take it to court, it’ll be useless!”
Ji Xia helped Xu Le up. He was furious at the shameless rogue named Jiang Feng, his small face taut, and he angrily snapped, “Your shares are worthless! Give Le Le’s house and savings back immediately.”
Since this Omega had someone he couldn’t afford to provoke backing him, Jiang Feng’s attitude softened somewhat, and he said, “The contract has been signed. The house and money are gone; it’s impossible to return them.”
Xu Le was about to pounce again and fight the liar to the death.
But the venue staff had noticed the commotion, and several security guards and staff rushed over.
Jiang Feng was the first to complain. “Throw this Omega out. He’s acting like a lunatic.”
Xu Le’s eyes were crimson, his chest heaving violently, and he did indeed look out of sorts.
A staff member assessed the clothing of the people involved and said to Xu Le, “Sir, please leave the venue.”
Behind him stood several burly security guards, a formidable deterrent.
Ji Xia held Xu Le’s hand and said, “Le Le is only emotionally out of control because he was scammed by him. He’s the one who should leave. He’s a liar!”
Jiang Feng retorted, “I am Young Master Jiang the Second. Quickly throw this crazy Omega out.”
The staff members, seeing Ji Xia’s distinguished demeanor, didn’t dare to act rashly and paused. Just as they were at a loss, Zhao Cheng spoke.
Zhao Cheng stared at Ji Xia and said, “Little beauty, beg me, and I’ll help you throw this trash out.”
Jiang Feng’s face changed color upon hearing this.
Xu Le pulled Ji Xia, hiding him behind him, and struggled to calm down. He said to the staff, “I apologize, I was a little emotionally out of control just now. I’m fine now. Can you let me stay and accompany my friend to bid on the item?”
Before the staff could speak, Zhao Cheng’s voice came again. “No. Little beauty, the only way for your friend to stay is if you beg me.”
He spread out his hand. “Come, come over here.”
Xu Le recognized Zhao Cheng the moment he saw him. He was the most wild and reckless playboy in the Beijing circle. Any Omega he fixated on wouldn’t leave his house until they were driven mad or crippled.
He pulled Ji Xia back a few steps and said with full vigilance, “Young Master Zhao the Second, he is Mr. Fu’s person. I advise you not to have any wicked ideas.”
Zhao Cheng sneered. “Why would I be afraid of Fu Yuan?”
He gave a look, and the two bodyguards next to him stepped forward to grab them.
The staff naturally recognized this crazy second-generation heir of the Zhao family. Fearing retaliation, they dared not intervene.
Xu Le’s heart sank, and he was about to drag Ji Xia to run.
Ji Xia, however, broke free from his hand, took out a small red wooden plaque from his pocket, and said to the staff, “I want the painting titled Rebirth. We will leave after I get it.”
When the staff saw the red wooden plaque, their expression immediately became respectful.
He took the small wooden plaque, examined it carefully, and called into his headset, “Manager Liang, it’s the Qiu family’s red wooden plaque.”
Zhao Cheng squinted slightly. He had always heard that Fu Yuan despised Omegas. He had initially thought the little Omega was just lying to escape, but he hadn’t expected that the little beauty was genuinely Fu Yuan’s partner.
The corner of his mouth stretched into a vicious smile. Isn’t this convenient? He was looking for a way to retaliate against Fu Yuan.
He commanded, “Grab them!”
The two bodyguards followed the order and stepped forward to seize Ji Xia. The venue’s security immediately blocked them.
The staff member said, “Young Master Zhao, this gentleman is a distinguished guest of our auction house. Please show some respect.”
Zhao Cheng had always been self-centered and wouldn’t back down because of a mere request. Even when the auction manager rushed over, he didn’t show any restraint. “I don’t even care about the Fu family, let alone the Qiu family! If you don’t want to disappear from this world, I suggest you and your people step aside immediately.”
He was absolutely determined to take the little beauty in front of him today.
Manager Liang’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He was just an employee. He couldn’t afford to offend the Qiu family, and he couldn’t afford to offend the Zhao family either! He immediately signaled for someone to contact the Qiu family.
The situation was once again at a standstill.
Just then, the auctioneer’s voice suddenly rose. “This painting titled Rebirth is the last work of the young artist Qiu Qinghe! The starting price is fifty million!”
Ji Xia said, “That is the painting I want.”
Manager Liang respectfully acknowledged it and immediately had someone take the painting down.
Zhao Cheng stood up and laughed, “Perfect. I’ll take the person and the painting with me.”
Ji Xia realized he had encountered another weird person and been pulled into a strange plot. This must be his punishment for deceiving Mr. Fu. How could he get rid of this person?!
Manager Liang said, “The seller had a request when providing the item: they wished to meet the buyer. Please follow me to the VIP room, Mr. Ji.”
Ji Xia was about to follow Manager Liang, pulling Xu Le along.
However, Zhao Cheng acted unexpectedly. Ignoring the setting, he pushed Manager Liang aside, grabbed Ji Xia’s wrist, and was about to drag him away. “No need to meet.”
“Let go of me!”
Ji Xia was caught off guard and restrained. He kicked out but was immediately pulled closer and wrapped around the waist by Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng inhaled the scent on him and said, “Little beauty, you smell so good.”
Xu Le was restrained by the bodyguards and couldn’t move. He could only shout, “Zhao Cheng, if you dare to touch him, you will surely meet a disastrous end!”
Zhao Cheng glanced at Xu Le and laughed, “Then we’ll see if Fu Yuan has the capability!”
He hugged the struggling Omega and was about to turn and leave, but at that moment, a strong gust of wind swept past. Zhao Cheng was hit hard on the face, and the force of the impact made him stagger back several steps.
The Omega in his arms was also pulled away.
Ji Xia couldn’t break free from Zhao Cheng and was about to take out the small dagger from his pocket.
He had brought it as a precaution before leaving, and he hadn’t expected it to actually come in handy.
Just as he was biting his lower lip and preparing to use it, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind, followed by a powerful tug on his arm, and his body was pulled back a big step.
Ji Xia turned around in surprise and saw a person in a moon-white long robe. His eyes lit up, and he called out, “Little Grandpa!”
Young Master Jiang the First raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head. “Good boy!”
Then, his gaze fell upon Zhao Cheng, and he said, “Kid, you must be tired of living. You dare to touch my grandson’s person.”
The corners of his mouth curled. Before Zhao Cheng could react, he gave him a solid beating and then tossed him out of the auction house.
Ji Xia exclaimed, “Little Grandpa is so amazing!”
Young Master Jiang the First clapped his hands and said, “Your Little Grandpa is the only Omega member of the Military’s Flying Eagles squad, of course I’m amazing.”
Ji Xia looked at him with admiration.
Young Master Jiang the First asked, “Did you get the painting?”
Ji Xia nodded and said, “I got it, but I haven’t received it yet. The seller wants to meet me.”
Young Master Jiang the First said, “Let’s go. Your Little Grandpa wants to meet this person too.”
Ji Xia said, “Wait, Little Grandpa. This person scammed my friend out of money. Could you please help us get the house and things back?”
Jiang Feng, who was about to flee upon seeing the turn of events: ………………….
Young Master Jiang the First said, “Leave it to your Little Grandpa.”
Ji Xia said, “Thank you, Little Grandpa.” He winked at Xu Le, “Le Le, don’t worry. Little Grandpa is the best. He will definitely help you get everything back.”
Xu Le’s eyes were red, and he choked out a whispered “Thank you.”
