Chapter 129: Chapter 128: Take Back Our Huaxia's Things! (2nd update of 4)
Gu Yu and several others followed Chen Tian out of the conference room, and they hadn't taken a few steps when Xu Fei suddenly chased after them.
"Mr. Gu, this is the postcard that Mr. Wei Tong asked me to give to you."
Xu Fei handed a white card to Gu Yu with both hands.
"Wei Tong?"
Thinking of the overfamiliar chubby man, Gu Yu reached out and took it.
There was a slight itch in the palm of his hand; it was Xu Fei's index finger gently sliding there.
She even took the opportunity to throw a flirtatious wink.
Gu Yu felt awkward inside but had no choice but to pretend he hadn't seen it and casually put the postcard in his pocket.
This Xu Fei… was simply enchanting!
Watching Xu Fei swaying her hips back to the conference room, Gu Yu silently judged in his heart.
If she had gone any further, he really might not have been able to resist!
He must keep his distance in the future!
"Uh…"
Just when Gu Yu was slightly distracted, he suddenly felt a strong pinch on the muscles of his arm.
Turning his head, he saw Lin Xinyue glaring at him fiercely!
"Let's go! Let's go! We should visit Mr. Liu's noodle shop, it's been awhile since we saw Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai!"
Gu Yu pretended not to understand the warning in Lin Xinyue's eyes and quickly changed the topic.
Lin Xinyue, seeing him act as if he understood yet pretended not to, stamped her foot in frustration.
But she couldn't really blame Gu Yu, since it wasn't him who had flirted with Xu Fei. If she had to blame someone, it would only be her boyfriend for being too handsome!
This was the greatest distress of being Gu Yu's girlfriend.
You never know how many women are eyeing him behind your back!
She had to be extremely careful!
It wasn't that she feared Gu Yu would be unfaithful, but to prevent any amoral women from making advances!
She hadn't laid her claim yet! What if someone else did? Her pig must be looked after closely!
With Mr. Chen present, they naturally couldn't squeeze into the subway.
They directly went down to the underground parking garage, where a dedicated driver was already waiting.
Behind the driver stood a seven-seater Maybach VS680L business van, modified from a Mercedes Vito.
Mr. Chen had declined security, so the seven seats were just enough.
"Laosi, do you know how much this car is?"
Boss Pu got on the car and, while exploring the spacious interior, quietly asked Gu Yu about the price of the vehicle.
He really treated Gu Yu like an encyclopedia now!
If it was expensive, Gu Yu could usually tell at a glance!
"Uh... this car is a Mercedes Vito seven-seater business van modified into a Maybach, the original car is about three hundred thousand, but now it has been turned into a Maybach and all the interior has been changed, I can't tell exactly how much."
"But it's definitely over a million!"
Gu Yu sat in the middle row, in front of him was a huge high-definition screen, clearly very valuable.
At this moment, the limitation of Golden Eyes became apparent again, just like with Xinyue's custom-made suit, he couldn't discern the exact value.
He could only make a rough estimate from the parts he recognized.
"Yu really knows his stuff, a true expert!"
Sitting in the front row, Mr. Chen turned his head and gave Gu Yu a thumbs up.
He knew Gu Yu could appraise antiques, but he didn't expect him to know about cars too!
This skill was really amazing!
"I tell you, Yu! You must come with me to an international auction conference on the fourth or fifth of next month!"
Chen Tian seized the topic to suddenly extend an invitation to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was startled for a moment, then calculated the dates—the fourth or fifth of next month was actually this weekend!
Today was already the thirty-first!
He was indeed free over the weekend, accompanying Mr. Chen was no problem.
"No problem!"
Gu Yu nodded casually and agreed.
With Gu Yu's consent, Chen Tian's face remained serious, "Since you have agreed, you must not be absent!
This international auction conference is of great importance, each bidder can only bring two people along, and since you agreed today, I need to submit the names tomorrow."
Chen Tian's eyebrows were furrowed; it was clear he placed high importance on this international auction conference.
Hearing this, Gu Yu reviewed his schedule for the next few days in his mind. Since he had no other plans for the weekend, he nodded again.
With Gu Yu's second confirmation, Chen Tian's brow finally relaxed.
"Since you are sure, I will really submit your name."
Seeing Mr. Chen Tian's cautious demeanor, Gu Yu also became quite curious.
Previously, when he accompanied Mr. Chen Tian to auctions, Mr. Chen always seemed casual about it.
But this time, he appeared unusually prudent.
So, he asked, "Mr. Chen, is there something at this international auction that you are determined to acquire?"
Chen Tian glanced at Gu Yu, then at the people behind him, the light in his eyes uncertain.
It seemed he was considering whether the people around Gu Yu were trustworthy.
Noticing Mr. Chen's hesitation, Gu Yu quickly said, "Mr. Chen, feel free to speak! Xinyue is my girlfriend, and Boss Pu and the others are my brothers. They are all insiders, and we will definitely keep a secret!"
His curiosity intensified.
What item at the international auction conference could make Mr. Chen so cautious?
Chen Tian looked deeply at Gu Yu and then his expression slowly relaxed, choosing to trust the group before him.
He took out his phone, then browsed through his album for a moment.
A few seconds later, he opened a thumbnail image.
It was a photo from an auction catalog, showing only one item, a bronze snake head.
Exquisitely crafted, it looked lifelike!
For some reason, Gu Yu felt as if he had seen this bronze snake head somewhere before, or at least something similar.
His eyes moved down to the description below the image.
Upon seeing the bold, black printed line of text, his pupils sharply contracted.
"Ming Garden's Twelve Zodiac Heads - Snake!"
Gu Yu was greatly shocked, feeling a tumult inside. He had never imagined that Mr. Chen would be bidding for this item!
The treasure of Huaxia!
"Hiss—"
The others also gasped in shock, understanding the implication of merely the name!
"The matter of the snake head being part of the auction must not be leaked, only a few people in the country know about this, so I'm being so cautious!"
"After you've seen this, it's best to act as though you've forgotten about it!"
Mr. Chen spoke with a rare seriousness, solemnly warning the group.
Boss Pu and the others, understanding the implications, quickly nodded.
"So, what is your purpose for participating in the auction?"
Gu Yu looked at Chen Tian, wanting to understand his intentions for bidding.
If this was for Chen Tian's private collection, he would definitely not help!
This belonged to the treasure of Huaxia!
No one should privately own it!
"Intent? Of course, to retrieve our Huaxia's item."
Hearing Gu Yu's question, Chen Tian's expression turned serious and he spoke earnestly.
"Good! I understand! We must retrieve it!"
Seeing Chen Tian's serious expression, Gu Yu nodded firmly!
This favor, he must help!
