Chapter 151
Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the auction house.
Lu Beiting deftly unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and got out. After getting out, he casually glanced around.
He then quickly walked to the passenger side, gently opened the car door, and extended his broad hand to Xia Zhi. His voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of doting, "Watch your step."
Xia Zhi felt the gazes directed at her from all around, and her face instantly flushed red.
She lowered her head slightly, then slowly reached out and placed her hand in Lu Beiting's palm.
The two walked into the auction house hand in hand.
After they sat down, Lu Beiting took off his coat and gently draped it over her. Then he reached out and patted her head, saying softly, "Buy whatever you like. Don't worry about the money."
Xia Zhi nodded gently, leaned against him, looked at the auction stage, and unconsciously smiled, her heart filled with sweetness.
Lu Beiting appeared to be accompanying Xia Zhi to admire the auction items, but his mind was actually elsewhere.
While helping Xia Zhi tidy her clothes, he seemingly casually glanced around at his surroundings again.
Just then, a figure rushing outside caught his eye.
Lu Beiting slightly curled his lips, remaining outwardly calm and continuing to watch with Xia Zhi as if nothing had happened.
The auctioneer on stage enthusiastically introduced each antique, painting, and jewelry item, but none of them seemed to pique Xia Zhi's interest.
After watching for a while, Xia Zhi felt a little tired. She yawned softly and covered her mouth with her hand.
Lu Beiting keenly noticed her fatigue, turned his head, gently stroked her hair, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to go and rest for a while?"
Actually, he could have bought some things for Xia Zhi himself.
But at this moment he didn't have a single penny on him; all his money was with Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi yawned and nodded, "Okay, that works too."
She understood that since Lu Beiting said that, he must not be in a hurry to go back, and he must have his own plans.
Seeing that she agreed, Lu Beiting nodded, stood up, reached out and took her hand in a natural and intimate manner, leading her outside.
Just as they reached the door, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, "Hey, come with me."
The two turned around and saw that Qin Mingshan had appeared in front of them at some point.
Lu Beiting glanced at him, then lowered his head and softly asked Xia Zhi, "Xia Xia, what do you think?"
“Okay, go ahead.” Xia Zhi was perfectly clear-headed at the moment. She knew that these people were definitely up to something.
But she wasn't afraid; instead, she was curious and wanted to see what they were up to.
The two followed behind Qin Mingshan, going around a narrow and secluded alley.
The alley was filled with a damp smell, and the walls were covered with moss.
After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at a somewhat secluded dwelling.
"This is my place, it's safe here." Qin Mingshan looked at Xia Zhi, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you really cure my second uncle?"
Xia Zhi underwent two highly complex surgeries at the hospital in the past few days, which has been widely discussed in the industry, and he had also heard about it.
Xia Zhi looked at him and guessed that the second uncle he mentioned must be the patient Qin Wang had mentioned.
She asked earnestly, "What illness does your second uncle have?"
Qin Mingshan pursed his lips, his expression somewhat grave. "Cerebral palsy."
“It’s indeed very difficult to completely cure cerebral palsy, but through treatment and rehabilitation training, the patient’s condition can be improved and their ability to live a normal life can be enhanced,” Xia Zhi said earnestly. Hearing this, Qin Mingshan was not angry at all; instead, he looked at her with even greater respect.
He knew a full recovery was unlikely, but judging from this, the woman did indeed possess some skill.
"Then you can rest here. My men are all around. If you need anything, just ask them." After saying that, Qin Mingshan prepared to leave with Lu Beiting.
Xia Zhi nodded and watched the two leave.
After coming out, Qin Mingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lu Beiting next to him, and said with a look of disgust, "How old are you and you're still so childish? Just because I said a few words to Xia Zhi last time, you have to keep such a big thing from me?"
He really couldn't understand why Lu Beiting was so petty.
Lu Beiting paused, but said without changing his expression, "Commander Qin is overthinking it. This is your territory, your business. Do I need to explain?"
Lu Beiting's expression was calm, and his tone was indifferent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Qin Mingshan was speechless after hearing this. Fine, if he asked a few more questions, this guy would probably write a note to complain.
The two returned to the auction house, and at the same time, the people Chen Yao had arranged arrived.
"Battalion Commander Lu." A woman of similar build to Xia Zhi approached Lu Beiting and said respectfully.
Lu Beiting looked at the woman in front of him and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The two then casually sat back in their seats.
Chen Yao and Qin Mingshan withdrew.
On the other side, after learning the news, Jiang Wencheng hurriedly led his men to a spot not far from the auction house.
"Lin San, are you really sure? It's just Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi?" Jiang Wencheng looked in the direction of the auction house, his brows furrowed, his face full of doubt.
"Yes, boss. If you don't believe me, can we send a few more brothers in to sneak in and take a look?" Lin San said cautiously.
Jiang Wencheng nodded, "Okay, go ahead, look carefully, don't miss a single detail."
The group followed the flow of people and walked in as if nothing had happened.
Soon, they saw Lu Beiting and his companion ahead.
The group exchanged glances, a hint of cunning in their eyes, and then looked around carefully, trying to find some flaws.
Lu Beiting had been secretly observing the surrounding situation.
"Hey, your wife wasn't like this just now?" The man sitting on the other side of Lu Beiting suddenly noticed that there was a different person next to him and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Beiting narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "You've misjudged."
After saying that, he deliberately put his arm around the shoulder of the female agent next to him, making a friendly gesture.
When the man met Lu Beiting's icy gaze, he shrank back a few times in fright and dared not say another word.
"Pah! What kind of man is he?" The man's wife spat out in disgust as she watched the scene. In her opinion, a fickle man would get his comeuppance sooner or later.
The survey team quickly retreated and found Jiang Wencheng.
"Boss, there are indeed only Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi inside."
Jiang Wencheng stubbed out his cigarette. "Have the people I asked you to arrange been put in place?"
Lin San replied, "Everything is arranged."
"Okay, let's go in and have a chat."
