Lu Xixin prepared for half a month and set off for the Wu Kingdom.
At the same time, Ye Sinian from the Ye family also set off.
He had been paying close attention to Lu Xixin's news. When he learned that she was going abroad, he set off as soon as possible. It was not easy to attack her at home, but it was different abroad.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you can do whatever you want to do.
The killing of Lu Xixin was a fatal order from Ye's Elders' Council. When Lu Xixin's identity as the director of the research institute was exposed at first, although the Ye family was horrified, there was not much panic. After all, the identity of the director of the research institute was better than Bu's
He went to the huge Ye family, but their backgrounds were not on the same level at all.
However, what surprised the Ye family was that after Lu Xixin's identity was exposed, all the high-tech projects of the Ye family, including several members of the Ye family, came to a halt.
Not only has it stagnated, but scientific research talents have also withdrawn en masse.
In an instant, the huge Yejia became an empty shell.
If it were an ordinary merchant family, it would be possible to break away from technology, engage in real estate and finance, and still survive. But the Ye family is different. The four major families in Kyoto are extremely powerful, and all walks of life are involved in it.
Industrial technology is the lifeblood of the family, and real estate and finance are castles in the air built on industry.
Without industry, real estate and finance would collapse in an instant.
The Ye family finally panicked. Without technology, if this continues, within a year, the Ye family's status will fall from the four major aristocratic families in Kyoto.
The head of the Ye family, the elders, and others never imagined that a young woman like Lu Xixin would have such shocking abilities and be able to destroy the Ye family in an instant.
Ye Jia was finally afraid.
Lu Xixin must die, and the Ye family must gain control of the Kyoto Research Institute.
Because of this death order, the young master Ye Sinian went to the Witch Kingdom in person.
When setting off, Yun Niannian helped Ye Sinian pack his things, looking at Ye Sinian's expression/he hesitated to speak.
Ye Sinian has been busy with Ye's family affairs recently. He often goes out and rarely comes home. He has few opportunities to meet Yun Niannian and is not in the mood to pay attention to her emotions. When he sees this, he doesn't even raise his eyelids.
, turned his eyes directly and pretended not to see it.
Yun Niannian was stunned immediately.
She knew that she had not been getting along well with Yesinian recently. She was clumsy and always disagreed with him. But she never expected that Yesinian would ignore her to this point.
Thinking of this, Yun Niannian felt flustered. Originally, she was pretending to be Lu Xixin to be with Ye Sinian. This matter was a time bomb that would explode sooner or later. Before that, she had to establish a relationship with Ye Sinian.
deep feeling.
Only when the relationship becomes deeper and the truth is revealed, Ye Sinian will not blame her.
No, no, she has to calm down and find a way to make Ye Sinian take her seriously.
After calming down, Yun Niannian raised her eyes to look at Ye Sinian and whispered: "Si Nian, are you going to the Witch Country?"
Ye Sinian frowned and looked unhappy: "This is the Ye family's business, so don't get involved."
Recently, something happened in the Ye family, and people were coming and going, so it was difficult to keep it secret. And Yun Niannian was always at home, so some news couldn't be hidden from her at all.
Therefore, she knew that Ye Sinian went to Wu Kingdom because of Lu Xixin's affairs.
Speaking of this matter, Yun Niannian was also very surprised. All along, in her mind, Lu Xixin was a smarter and richer person. She never expected that she was actually the dean of the Kyoto Research Institute with a powerful position.
It's so huge that even the Ye family can't do anything to her.
That woman is so terrible.
Yun Niannian knew that Ye Sinian went to the Wu Kingdom to find Lu Xixin, but she didn't know what the specific matter was. She could only guess: "Si Nian, I don't know why you went to find Lu Xixin, but I
Thinking, after all, I have some relationship with Lu Xixin, maybe I can be of some help?"
Ye Sinian was very impatient at first, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Go pack your luggage and come with me."
A big smile appeared on Yun Niannian's face, and her tone was full of joy: "I'll go right away."

Lu Xixin and his party have arrived in Wu Kingdom and are staying in a hotel near the auction.
As the auction approached, people from all over the world rushed here, and the surroundings were crowded. Lu Xixin was worried about an accident, so she stayed quietly in the hotel and did not go anywhere.
Liu Hui sat at the table, holding a catalog of items in his hand: "The auction will be held for three days in total. These are the items for tomorrow's auction. They are not precious things. We can go over and take a look and enjoy the excitement."
Lu Xixin took the auction catalog in her hand and found that it was full of weird things like worms, yellow talismans, and curses. In addition, there were some rare antiques.
Seeing this, Liu Hui explained: "These antiques were obtained by tomb robbers. They could not be circulated through formal channels, so they all flocked here. The Wu Kingdom does not care about this, and does not care about the origin or destination of the auction items."
Lu Xixin nodded, then her eyes lingered on a curse for a while, curious: "Is this all true?"
Liu Hui shook her head: "It's hard to say. You may believe it or not, but I'm not sure about some things." She also gave an example, "Ordinary people don't believe this, but those rich people or celebrities do.
I believe this very much, and some people even invite children.
We don’t have to believe it, just respect it from a distance.”
Lu Xixin nodded.
Soon the day of the auction arrived. In the private room, everyone entering the auction wore masks and uniform loose robes. No one could recognize anyone else. They even used voice changers to speak.
After entering the box and looking through the window at the people wearing uniform masks, Zhu Xiaoxiao was almost surprised: "Does it need to be so strict? Even the shoes are the same size, look at that person
, the soles of the feet are actually padded to increase the height, even the height has to be faked."
Liu Hui sat down and took a sip of the mineral water he brought in: "This place is full of poisonous insects. You can't be too careful. It would be terrible if someone seeks revenge and poisons you."
She told Zhu Xiaoxiao: "The box is soundproofed and the glass has been treated. You can't see clearly from the outside. You can just talk in the box, but when you go out, don't say a word or touch anything."
Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded carefully.
The auction officially started at eight o'clock in the morning. In the early stage, there were some antique funerary objects and the like. Lu Xixin was not interested in these and just observed the surrounding situation.
The auction house has a total of three floors, with 100 private rooms. The first floor is the lobby, where countless people stood crowded together.
Everyone here is silent. If you like something, just press the electronic card in your hand and the bid will be automatically made.
Shen Jiayao sat next to Lu Xixin and asked her in a low voice: "There are a few jade stones below that look good. Do you like them? I can take pictures of them?"
Lu Xixin frowned: "No."
Her period has never come, the possibility of pregnancy is very high, and she doesn't want those unclean things.
