She was familiar with this kind of business where the goods left the cabinet without responsibility, and Qiao Nian said calmly: "OK."
The man from the underground auction house glanced at her and gestured to her: "You can call the professionals over now."
Qiao Nian put one hand in his pocket and interrupted him coolly: "No, I can look at it myself."
"Are you sure?" The man was a little surprised, and secretly looked at Ye Wangchuan behind him, as if seeking his opinion.
Ye Wangchuan half-closed his long crow eyelashes and ignored him completely.
Qiao Nian continued: "Sure, please be quick." She wanted to get the things quickly, and she didn't care about the danger that might happen later.
"Uh..." The people at the underground auction house had never seen such an anxious customer, but the customer was God. He pressed the Bluetooth headset beside his ear and urged his companions: "What are you doing? Send auction item No. 42 over. The customer wants to check it."
Then he said to Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan, "Wait a moment, they will be here soon."
This process usually takes no more than ten minutes.
Seeing that there was no strange expression on his face, Qiao Nian gradually relaxed. No one spoke during the few minutes of waiting.
Just as Qiao Nian's expression was becoming increasingly impatient, the man at the underground auction house also realized that time was taking a bit too long and was about to urge him again.
Qiao Nian keenly noticed that the Bluetooth headset on his ear was flashing red light, and then the man in the underground auction house suddenly changed his expression, and left them and ran back.
"What! Go find some water! I'll be right there!"
Qiao Nian immediately realized that an "accident" was coming, and she chased after him without any hesitation.
"Wait a moment." Ye Wangchuan grabbed her hand and stopped her: "Wait here for me, I'll go over and take a look."
Qiao Nian knew that this was most likely a trap, but she didn't care about that. She pursed her lips and pulled his hand away, saying firmly, "Let's go together."
“…Okay.” Ye Wangchuan couldn’t do anything with her. He sighed lightly and pulled her behind him. He walked in front and followed her.
The backstage of the underground auction house is not big. Through the maze-like narrow corridor, there are rooms with bank-level password doors. These rooms should be the warehouses where they store expensive auction items.
Qiao Nian was not interested in any of this.
Money, she has a little.
She has no shortage of collections.
Yuan Yongqin and David both have a lot of collections placed in her name, and their value is no less than what is being auctioned here.
The only thing she cared about was Ye Wangchuan's last ingredient of medicine.
As Qiao Nian walked faster and faster, he could feel the temperature change in the corridor more and more, as if it was getting hotter and hotter.
Just around the next corner.
The sky-high flames caught my eye.
A warehouse was on fire.
The people at the underground auction house didn't seem to expect the 'accident' to happen. There were crowds of people around, but few people actually put out the fire.
The man who ran over with Qiao Nian and the others was so angry that he pulled off his headset, walked over and kicked the man in front in the knee, roaring.
"What are you all doing here? Put out the fire!"
"Sam went to find water."
The man was so angry that his veins were throbbing. He looked around and yelled, "Besides water, can't you think of anything else? You are standing here like idiots. Where is the fire extinguisher?"
Before he could finish, he saw a figure rushing into the front line of the fire, holding the fire extinguisher he had been thinking about. The choking white smoke covered the flames, suppressing the blaze a little.
