Not long after Liu Xia left, Meng Fan dialed old man Hu's number, asking him to send someone over to retrieve the items.
Old Man Hu was quite excited when he received Meng Fan's call. There was no reason for Old Man Hu to refuse Meng Fan's offer. He immediately sent someone to collect the items, telling Meng Fan to prepare himself.
After that, Meng Fan hid in the room. He took off the tarpaulin that Cheng Ying had wrapped around his body, and then placed Cheng Ying in front of him to examine him.
With one look, he saw that Meng Fan had heard Zhou Qing's shout for half an hour. Only then did he react and walk down the stairs with Cheng Ying in his hand.
During this time, Meng Fan still didn't have a clue. Just like before, no matter how he observed, he couldn't get a clue from Cheng Ying. In the end, he could only give up.
Arriving at the first floor of the villa, Meng Fan saw the figure sitting in the living room. He immediately chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that you would come to retrieve the item!"
"Where is the thing?!" I'll just take him away! " However, the silhouette did not seem to plan to speak to Meng Fan. With a cold expression, she spoke to him as if this was the first time she was meeting him.
"Up to you! This is what you want! " Seeing the other party's appearance, Meng Fan was too lazy to argue with him. He immediately tossed Cheng Ying to him. From his casual look, it was impossible to tell that the Cheng Ying that was thrown out from him was one of the top ten swords from the ancient times.
Seeing Meng Fan throw Cheng Ying over, the figure couldn't help but frown. She had always been annoyed by Meng Fan's seemingly casual attitude, and had always suspected that Meng Fan was intentionally putting on an act like this.
Women were truly strange creatures. According to common sense, no matter what Meng Fan did, it had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, she didn't like Meng Fan's reasoning, so she just didn't like his temper.
In fact, Shadow had even hoped to see Meng Fan act in such a way that he wouldn't, and had even used his own identity to cause Meng Fan no end of trouble.
However, when Meng Fan threw the figure, the figure caught it without hesitation. After examining it for a long time and confirming that it was definitely the figure, it stood up and walked outside.
Seeing him leave and not even giving him a greeting, Meng Fan's heart filled with rage. He looked over at Zhou Qing, who was not far away, and saw that she had a look of displeasure on her face. He laughed coldly in his heart as he looked at the figure approaching the door.
"I'll say it!" "Since you no longer live here, why don't you pack your things?"
"My things?" Upon hearing Meng Fan's voice, Shadow stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.
She didn't know what Meng Fan meant by this. From the moment he entered the apartment, he hadn't brought anything with him. Plus, she had moved from the apartment to the villa, so she had even fewer things.
However, based on their habits, even if they moved away from a certain residence, why would they purposefully pack up their belongings? Because of that, she had nothing to pack up with, so when she heard Meng Fan's words, she was somewhat suspicious.
"I'm not talking about that, you might be thinking too much!" Seeing this, Meng Fan chuckled. He then pointed to the tea table in the living room and continued, "I'm talking about these little things. These high technology are useless to me! Furthermore, I do not want anyone to listen to every word that I am about to say! "
She had not expected Meng Fan to be able to discover all of this. With a cold snort, she strode back into the living room, fumbled a few times, and then took out a few black objects about the size of her pinky belly and put them back into her bag.
On the other hand, Zhou Qing had a stunned look on her face. She did not know that Shadow had installed a surveillance device, and only after Shadow took out the item from under the tea table did she react.
After all, no one wanted to be watched. Furthermore, ever since Shadow had started living with them, both Zhou Qing and Liu Xu had treated Shadow like a sister. Now that Meng Fan had exposed him, even Zhou Qing found it hard to accept.
However, Zhou Qing did not say much. It was only after Shadow had withdrawn the five bugs in the living room and left that she asked Meng Fan: "She actually had a bug installed? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It doesn't matter! Do you have any other secrets? "What's the difference between eavesdropping and not eavesdropping!" However, facing Zhou Qing's questioning, Meng Fan waved his hand without a care and walked towards the second floor.
"Bastard!" Why can't I have a secret! " Seeing Meng Fan act so casually, Zhou Qing was furious. She viciously glared at Meng Fan's back as she shouted.
However, Meng Fan's questioning and shouting didn't affect him at all. He continued to walk up to the second floor and slammed the door shut. He completely ignored her.
Seeing Meng Fan completely ignoring her, Zhou Qing was so angry that she almost wanted to go up and beat him up, but she also knew Meng Fan's skill. Although she knew Meng Fan wouldn't hurt her, Zhou Qing did not dare to be so impudent.
On the other side, Meng Fan returned to his room and collapsed onto his bed. However, he did not fall asleep. Instead, his eyes were wide open. The only thing that could be seen from him was his furrowed brow.
Other than Liu Xu, Meng Fan spent the rest of the day in his room. He went downstairs to have a meal with Zhou Qing and the others, then returned to his room once more. However, this time, although Meng Fan was still the same as before, his phone would occasionally ring, causing Meng Fan to chat with him for a long time.
The night passed by quickly. To Meng Fan, this was a very hard night to endure. Every second felt like a heavy hammer pounding against his heart. Time passed, and Meng Fan's nerves grew even more tense.
Similar to Meng Fan, most of the forces on the shore began to move after Meng Fan had endured a difficult night. Almost every single power started to get busy for the entire day.
Meng Fan's situation was similar to that of these people. He woke up very early in the morning. After having breakfast with Liu Xu and Zhou Qing, the two girls decided to not go out today. They were then driven away by Liu Xia, leaving the villa.0
Meng Fan was naturally very clear about what was going to happen today, and he didn't dare to bring Liu Xu and Zhou Qing along. The only thing he could do was to let them stay in the villa.
In his opinion, although Binhai would be very chaotic today, it was only limited to the auction venue or the outside. Plus, he had already left the villa, and even if he caused a ruckus outside, no one would come to the villa to cause trouble for the two girls.
Moreover, there were also quite a few people protecting the villa from the shadows. Although these people were not necessarily part of the main force, they were still much stronger than the average people. As long as the two girls did not go out, they should not be in any danger.
"Brother Fan!" Are we really going? " Liu Xia and Meng Fan sat side by side in the back of a commercial car on the road as they asked in a slightly worried tone.
However, Meng Fan, who was sitting next to Liu Xia, also had a serious expression on his face. However, after hearing Liu Xia's words, Meng Fan's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, it changed from his serious expression from before and said with a chuckle, "Why don't you go? How can we not go over and take a look! "
"But that will definitely become chaotic. If we go, will we become the target of public criticism?" Compared to Meng Fan, Liu Xia wasn't as open. When he thought of the scene of him and the others entering the auction, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
It was not that Liu Xia didn't believe Meng Fan, but he was just hesitating subconsciously. After all, there were quite a few forces at the seaside looking after them, and many people believed that Cheng Ying was their target. Now that the auction was going to be held, they would definitely become their target.
"I'm fine!" Since this is an auction, it means that Cheng Ying is going to be auctioned, and their target is Cheng Ying, not us. What are you worrying about, I guarantee that we will be completely safe before things get chaotic! "
Meng Fan seemed to know the worry in Liu Xia's heart. He immediately chuckled and explained to Liu Xia who was beside him.
Speaking of which, although Liu Xia's personality was calm in some aspects, he was a bit too calm. To Liu Xia, his specialty was still to stay out of the situation. No matter how he planned, he wouldn't personally experience danger.
However, Liu Xia was already in danger. Perhaps it was because of this that Meng Fan's mind was disturbed, and he was no longer able to calmly ponder what had happened, resulting in his current state of mind.
He immediately understood what Meng Fan meant, and his heart immediately grew a bit calmer. He sighed and did not say anything else, because he knew that no matter what Meng Fan said or how he decided to say, he would not change anything.
Soon, Meng Fan and Liu Xia's MPV arrived at an underground parking lot. Meng Fan only glanced at his surroundings before getting out of the car with Liu Xia.
This was the underground parking lot of the auction house that Meng Fan had come to yesterday. Compared to yesterday, this place was much more lively. The surroundings were already filled with cars.
However, when Meng Fan and Liu Xia appeared, they immediately attracted many people's attention. When they saw Meng Fan, they all had astonished expressions as they looked at Meng Fan in disbelief. Obviously, they were also very surprised to see him here.
If he took them out on his own, Meng Fan wouldn't have cared about them. Ignoring the shocked gazes of the people around him, he brought Liu Xia to the only elevator in the underground parking lot.
Perhaps it was because of Meng Fan's appearance, but many people in the surrounding area were still in shock. They couldn't react to their surprise at Meng Fan's appearance, so no one dared to disturb him.
Under the astonished gazes of these people, Meng Fan and Liu Xia walked into the elevator. With no one disturbing them, the two quickly rode the elevator to the fourth floor of the auction house.
"Ding!"
"Sir! Please show your identification card! "
After a light sound, the elevator door slowly opened. Just as Meng Fan and Liu Xia stepped out of the elevator, they saw a person dressed like a waiter.
"Certificate?" You even need a certificate to participate in an auction? " Hearing this person's words, Meng Fan's face slightly changed. In other words, he had never participated in any auctions and did not understand the rules. However, from his point of view, this was only a trap that he had secretly planned.
"Sir! We are at an official auction, although we don't need a deposit, we still need your proof of identity to prevent others from deliberately causing chaos! I hope you will cooperate with our work! " Hearing Meng Fan's words, the attendant's expression remained the same as he explained in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
