Chapter 183 Trouble
Hearing this, Bi Fan's face showed a look of joy. This kind of special invitation should mean that the matter they asked for has been successfully resolved, right?
At that moment, under the leadership of the housekeeper, the two of them walked briskly to the city lord's mansion.
Entering from the courtyard, they saw Zhao Ming already standing in the hall, but strangely, they did not see Zhao Hongyue himself.
"City Lord." Bi Fan greeted with a smile.
Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, pointing to the three boxes placed on the table and said: "These are the things I prepared for you two. Let's take a look!"
"good."
Zheng Shi'an opened the box, and what was inside was a turquoise branch with a hint of cold air. He smelled it carefully, and there was a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs. He couldn't help but sigh: "The quality of this cold pith branch is very good!"
The remaining two boxes were also opened smoothly. The Ghost Face Flower and Ambergris were lying quietly in the center of the box.
Bi Fan cupped his hands towards Zhao Ming and said with a smile: "The quality of the three chaotic medicinal materials is very good. Miss Hongyue must have put a lot of thought into it. I wonder if she is busy with something? If possible, we still hope to meet in person.
Thank you."
Zhao Ming smiled and said: "My dear nephew, you don't have to be polite. After Hongyue handed these medicinal materials to me, she said there were other things in the auction house and went out to do her business."
"The other thing is, for the Chaos Crystals, she negotiated the price with the auction house. A total of one thousand mid-grade Chaos Crystals are needed."
Having said this, he looked a little apologetic: "Logically, we should bear this cost..."
Before he finished speaking, Bi Fan quickly interrupted: "Uncle, you are too polite. If you don't let me give you the Chaos Crystal, I will definitely not be able to take such a precious Chaos Herb away!"
As he spoke, he happily took out a large bag of middle-grade chaos crystals from the Dragon God's Mansion and handed it over with a smile.
Zhao Ming also accepted it with a smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then personally sent them out.
With the last three chaos medicinal materials in hand, Bi Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he went to Mo Xueyun's house, he finally had something handy.
It's just the last formula that makes people feel a little embarrassed. Thinking of this, his face turns a bit bitter. Don't believe it when the people of the Yun family don't believe it, they just think he is joking!
"Brother." Suddenly, Zheng Shi'an called him.
Bi Fan came back from his thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
He frowned slightly and said, "I seemed to have seen Miss Hongyue just now."
"Miss Hongyue? Didn't she go to the auction house?"
Zheng Shi'an looked at the disappearing figure not far ahead and said softly: "Brother, I should be right."
Bi Fan's expression became more solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Follow me and have a look."
The two of them followed the direction in which the figure disappeared. In a remote alley, they saw Zhao Hongyue. She was talking to a man in his thirties.
Bi Fan glanced at Zheng Shi'an, who quickly understood. With a wave of his sleeve, a little bee flew forward and monitored the conversation between the two people not far ahead.
"Hongyue, did you exchange for the real life ghost face flower in the auction house?"
Zhao Hongyue looked at him silently, and after a while she said calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The man squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoshan on duty said that you were the only one who went to the warehouse in the past two days, and he also saw with his own eyes that you went to the area where the seventh-grade chaotic medicinal materials are placed for inspection."
"Then, it was discovered that one of the Soul Ghost Face Flowers was fake. This could only be your handiwork, right?"
"What does this prove?" Zhao Hongyue raised her head and asked.
"It cannot be directly proven, but if Mr. Qi finds out about this matter, what do you think you will do? What will happen to the City Lord's Mansion behind you? You know, the most taboo thing in the auction house is people who steal things privately!
"
"I didn't steal it!" Zhao Hongyue shouted loudly, then quickly lowered her head and whispered: "I accidentally damaged the Ghost Face Flower, so I had to find one to pretend to be."
"I know how precious the Chaos medicinal materials are, and I am prepared to pay compensation according to the price today."
The man looked at her and paused for a while, then said with a half-smile: "Hongyue, if you tell me such an excuse, who will believe it?"

Zhao Hongyue looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a moment she said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
The man didn't speak, just stared at her plump breasts that were rising and falling due to breathing, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult to solve this matter. Come to my place tonight, and I'll go to Mr. Qi tomorrow."
Explain there."
"With my reputation in the auction house, they will not pursue it. And you can also keep your reputation and that of the City Lord's Mansion."
Zhao Hongyue said nothing, but her expression was not very good.
Seeing her hesitation, the man patted her shoulder and said, "I won't make things difficult for you. You can make this decision yourself." With that, he turned and left.
After his figure disappeared, Zhao Hongyue stood barely supported by the wall, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what to do.
After a moment, two footsteps sounded from behind, and she immediately adjusted her mood and returned to her usual cool appearance.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave expressionlessly, he turned around and saw Bi Fan and Zheng Shi'an.
She paused for a moment, not knowing why these two people appeared here. But she still pretended that nothing happened and asked casually: "Why are you here?"
Bi Fan sighed and said straight to the point: "We all heard the conversation between you and that person. I'm sorry, I didn't know that that life-haunted ghost could make you pay such a high price."
Zhao Hongyue's face turned a little pale, she shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I made a mistake myself."
"Miss Hongyue, we accept your wishes. But if it is this way, then I will not be able to accept it."
As he said that, he took out the box containing the ghost face flower and placed it gently in her hand.
Zhao Hongyue was a little dumbfounded, and sighed softly: "Just take it, since that person already knows about it, and he won't let it go easily."
Zheng Shi'an frowned and asked subconsciously: "What is the identity of that person in your auction house?"
"A manager with relatively senior qualifications. If he exposes my behavior, my father's reputation will be implicated in my life."
As she spoke, a wry smile appeared on her face.
Bi Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and comforted softly: "Leave this matter to us, don't worry about it. Don't go to him tonight, and don't admit that you have exchanged souls with Ghost Face Flower. Anyway, just treat it like this.
That didn't happen."
Zhao Hongyue was stunned for a moment: "What are you going to do?"
Zheng Shi'an smiled: "Miss Hongyue, don't worry, we will solve it properly. That person will not cause trouble for you again, and the reputation of City Lord Zhao will not be affected in any way. Don't worry!"
