The reason Feng Xiaoxiao had agreed so readily was that Wei Zhao happened to be away from school on business. If she left too, one could only imagine how crushed Tang Zhi would feel! Hmph hmph, going up against her? The consequences would be dire! Feng Xiaoxiao brandished her fist, then turned and headed downstairs. Once outside the school gates, she spotted the Audi A6L waiting there, said nothing, and simply opened the door and got in.
"Xiaoxiao, the person examining you this time is a colleague of mine, a specialist in hereditary diseases!" Once Feng Xiaoxiao was in the car, Captain Feng looked at her affectionately and spoke.
Captain Feng's full name was Feng Tianlong, and he was a special agent.
Because of his work, it was simply impossible for him to be at Feng Xiaoxiao's side every day. It was a regret, but he did not rue it! He had chosen this path, and he would walk it to the end.
"Oh, another specialist." Feng Xiaoxiao responded flatly. She had seen heaven knew how many specialists since she was a child, yet every time she had gone in hope and come away disappointed. She was almost numb to it now.
The time wasted on treatment was better spent recklessly squandering her youth and her life—at least then, even if she died, she would have no regrets.
Feng Tianlong shook his head. Her attitude was within his expectations, and he said no more. In truth, even he had rather lost faith, but so long as there was a single sliver of hope, he wanted his daughter to live—to live healthily...
The plane touched down slowly in Yanjing. Wei Zhao, Guan Xuewen, and Fatso Lai disembarked and checked into a hotel Fatso Lai had already booked in advance.
"Boss, we're only auctioning three Life-Extending Detox Pills this time—isn't that a bit few?" Fatso Lai asked cautiously.
"Rare things are precious, and besides, it's not entirely about the money—it's mainly to make a name," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"I see..." Fatso Lai knew Wei Zhao was telling the truth, though he did have a selfish motive of his own: with only three Life-Extending Detox Pills, his chances of snatching one would be rather slim, whereas if there were more, wouldn't he still have a shot?
Of course, he certainly could not say this to Wei Zhao, so Fatso Lai could only swallow it down.
Thanks to Fatso Lai having made the arrangements in advance, the auction formalities were handled with ease. One simply submitted the items for auction, the reserve prices, and so on, and it was smoothly done.
The organizers did not even insist that sellers have their goods appraised—appraisal was voluntary, and one could apply or not as one pleased.
Clearly the organizers knew that certain rare treasures could not be appraised on the spot, and that everyone able to attend this auction was a personage of high society; no one was willing to bring in something fake and destroy their own reputation.
Passing off inferior goods as fine did happen, but such one-shot dealings would only damage the seller's reputation—and the Yu family, the organizers, were not to be trifled with. Word had it that a few years back, one seller passed off inferior goods as fine, and afterward the Yu family ruined him utterly...
Still, for Fatso Lai's unknown pills that had never before appeared on the market, no matter how wondrously he described them, the organizers had set a rather low price for him: one million.
Fatso Lai was in no mood to argue; one million it was—when the time came, these things certainly would not sell cheap.
Never mind one million—even for a hundred million, he would have accepted without hesitation.
In Yanjing, at the Xiao family residence, Divine Doctor Kang came calling with Kang Guifeng and Kang Jinglong to visit the two Xiao brothers, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben.
