Beauty and the Bodyguard Chapter 495 - Meeting An Old Acquaintance

Chapter 495 - Meeting An Old Acquaintance
Fatty Lai’s speech was cunning. In actuality, he hadn’t made anything clear at all. Would there be Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing in the future? When would there be pills? He hadn’t addressed these problems, leaving the items he planned on adding to the third day unclear as well. He hadn’t even confirmed that anything was even going to be there on the third day!
But that was the exact sort of attitude that excited the audience. They looked forward to the mysterious. People always worked their imaginations when things were murky.
“Good speech that didn’t say anything at all.” Lin Yi smiled at Fatty Lai as he walked down.
“Heh heh, that’s right. This isn’t something we can just let the world know; it’s a trade secret!” Fatty Lai smiled back. “But, Boss, what do you think we should sell for the third auction? Are we preparing to sell anything?”
“Prepare what?” Lin Yi didn’t have anything prepared, but he could if he wanted to. He still had time.
“I heard that Miracle Doctor Kang is about to auction some special edition Golden Creation Medicine tomorrow. They say it has healing effects more effective and faster than the regular one.” Fatty Lai said. “Maybe we can buy some special edition Golden Creation too? We’ve pissed him off enough anyway, and we’ll be competitors once our medicine gets listed. No need to avoid crossing them or anything right now.”
“Hm?” Miracle Doctor Kang having special Golden Creation Medicine to auction caught Lin Yi’s interest. “Let me think, see if I can come up with something. Maybe I can make something better than his stuff.”
“That’s great, that’s great, Boss!” Fatty Lai nodded. “That’s true, it’d be pointless if we’re the same as them, it’d look like we’re copying him!”
The auction items that followed were less special.
Of course, that was relative to the sort of stage they were on. These were items considered to be top-tier treasures in any regular auction.
But people here were veterans of this world, and they weren’t too surprised at the items coming out.
The bids weren’t going higher than the bids for the Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. They weren’t even one-tenth of it!
Lin Yi lost interest, so Fatty Lai left his seat. He went backstage to handle the procedures for the three pills he’d sold, subtracting the money they’d spent on the goatskin map. Everything else was deposited into Fatty Lai’s bank account.
After finishing the procedures, Fatty Lai brought the goatskin map back to Lin Yi.
He took a look at it and folded it back up. This wasn’t the place to investigate the map. In fact, he wasn’t even planning on looking into it at the first place, at least not now. He didn’t have the time.
Along with the one back home, Lin Yi only had two map pieces. He didn’t know how big the map was in its entirety, or how many pieces it’d been split into, but the certainty was that two pieces didn’t have much practical use.
So Lin Yi got Fatty Lai to purchase the map simply to sate the bit of explorer’s curiosity he had. He wasn’t expecting this map to really bring him anything. It was more of a whim.
The auction ended shortly, and no other auction item received the same sort of response as the Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. People made their bids and things wrapped up quickly.
The first day wasn’t supposed to be very special in the first place. That was how it had always been. This year’s pill was a very special exception.
Lin Yi, Fatty Lai, and Guan Xuemin got up to leave the auction hall when they saw Miracle Doctor Kang looking their way, his face visibly freezing upon sighting Lin Yi and Xuemin.
Lin Yi nodded, giving the doctor a smile.
Miracle Doctor Kang had long since suspected Lin Yi of being something like an inheritor of a powerful family, so seeing him together with Fatty Lai and Xuemin put a frown on his face. He didn’t think much of it.
As far as he knew, Lin Yi and Fatty Lai were the driving force behind Xuemin’s sudden desire to join the business world.
The investor was probably Fatty Lai. Lin Yi should have some shares as well, but Miracle Doctor Kang didn’t care much about that. The person he was keeping an eye out for was Fatty Lai. The man was a veteran businessman.
“Lin Yi!” Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe her eyes. She rubbed them to make sure who she really saw was, in fact, Lin Yi. She ran over and cried out excitedly.
Lin Yi turned around to look at Xiaoxiao, surprised as well, not quite understanding why he was seeing Xiaoxiao here.
Did she follow him here? Lin Yi couldn’t bring himself to believe that. He hadn’t even seen her shadow when boarding the plane! This could only be a coincidence, so Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “Why are you here?”
“Yeah, why are you here?” Xiaoxiao said at the same time.
“Just taking a look with my friends.” Lin Yi smiled. “Well, I have something to do, so see ya.”
Lin Yi avoided Xiaoxiao. He didn’t want to get too close to the girl. Her thought process was quite weird, and he didn’t want anything to do with her.
“Will you come tomorrow too? Do you want to sit together?” Xiaoxiao was quite troubled with Lin Yi’s attitude towards her. Why in the world was he so cold? She had her face look excited anyway as she puppy-eyed Lin Yi.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Lin Yi brushed her off, not wanting to deal with her right now.
“Alright, I’ll come look for you tomorrow then!” Xiaoxiao said, remembering that her father was waiting for her. She shouldn’t be talking to Lin Yi for too long.
Meeting Lin Yi here did excite her, for some reason. She didn’t quite understand why.
Was it the feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in an unfamiliar city? Or was it another way for her to attack Tang Yin, a way to make Lin Yi fall in love with her? Or… was she just too bored?
Just then, Wu Gonggao and Wu Chentian walked over quickly.
Having learned that Xuemin was the one who refined the pill, Gonggao wanted to come talk to Xuemin and see if he could get himself another pill.
“Professor Guan, it’s been a while! I’ve missed you!” Gonggao looked quite the martial artist in his long robes. He cupped his fists and greeted Xuemin.
“Haha, Elder Wu, how are you doing?” Xuemin nodded to Gonggao to greet him. He’d performed acupuncture on him before, and while the two were no strangers, he didn’t act overly friendly.
Xuemin had always been very neutral towards these houses, never getting too close with a particular house, even if that house was the Yu Family, or the Wus.
“All thanks to you, Professor! I’m still feeling rather tough, but my old wounds from my youth do still need your help, Miracle Doctor Guan, when you have the time for an acupuncture session!” Gonggao said very politely.
He might be a mystic class master, but even so, he paid Xuemin great respect. After all, this was a renowned miracle doctor, a godly figure!
