Luo Xiao and the other two left the auction venue cautiously. After walking for a short distance, they noticed a few suspicious people following them. Without drawing attention, the three of them exchanged a slight nod and decided to change direction.
The Xinghua Shopping Mall was the first large-scale mall built by the government in S City this year. It gathered various small vendors. Because it was the first large shopping mall built, many were very curious about this place, so it was crowded with people every day.
When Luo Xiao and the others saw the entrance of Xinghua Shopping Mall, a glimmer appeared in their eyes. They hurried their steps and walked directly into the mall.
The few people following them saw the direction they were heading, and a ruthless look appeared in their eyes: Unexpectedly, they dared to come here, thinking they could escape us? That’s impossible!
The few people also quickened their pace, wanting to catch them before they entered the mall, but unfortunately they were a step too slow.
After entering the mall, Luo Xiao and the other two separated and headed in different directions, agreeing to meet back at the master’s house after shaking off the pursuers.
Relying on his small figure and agility, Luo Xiao nimbly slipped through the crowd like a small fish. He disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
The few pursuers were so angry, but they were powerless. They searched the mall carefully several times before leaving reluctantly.
By this time, the effects of the medicine had worn off, and Luo Xiao and the others were no longer in that fake appearance, so how could they be easily recognized by the pursuers?
It turned out that these pursuers were sent by the people in the next room at the time. Because they accidentally saw the owner being invited to the next room, they felt worried and had been secretly keeping an eye on the situation. When they saw him come out with an uncontrollable excitement on his face, they had a slight guess in their hearts. Then when they saw the auction items and cash that had been sent in, they knew that what the man took must not be ordinary.
After all, the owner of this auction house was a big shot in the cultivation world. If he showed such an expression, combined with the recent rumors they had heard, a light flashed in their eyes: The book! It must be related to cultivation!
Yes, the guests in this room were also cultivators, but due to the short history of their sect, the collection of cultivation books in their sect was not very abundant. Although this resulted in their sect’s overall strength not being very high, they had a lot of underhanded tricks up their sleeves! So their sect could still occupy a place.
After the three safely reunited, they all couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief. Luo Xiao walked to the table and picked up the teapot, and poured three cups of tea, handing them to Mr. Huo and Ye Lan respectively. After taking a sip of tea, he asked puzzledly, “Master, do you know who those people are?”
Mr. Huo squinted his eyes and thought carefully, “Judging from the pattern on their clothes, they should be from the Evil Wolf Sect.”
“Evil Wolf Sect?” Luo Xiao couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Why did he feel a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard a similar sect name somewhere before?
Mr. Huo nodded and continued, “This sect is notorious in the cultivation world. They are known for using all kinds of unsavory methods, and are hated but also feared by people. So Xiao Xiao, remember, if you encounter this sect in the future, you’d better take a detour. After all, it’s easier to avoid an open spear than to guard against an arrow from the dark!”
Luo Xiao obediently nodded his head. You know, he still value his life!
“Oh yes, Xiao Xiao, you must keep that pouch in a safe place!” Mr. Huo changed the subject. “And don’t tell your mom and the others the real amount of this money. Just say it’s 100,000 first if they ask you. If it’s too much, I feel they might not be able to accept it. Alas, although the economy of S City is developing well, apart from those low-key real wealthy, ten thousand yuan households are not that common in this era.”
“Well, okay.” Luo Xiao had originally planned that in his mind.
Ye Lan on the side saw that they had basically covered everything and spoke up, “Xiao Xiao, if you can’t think of a safe place to put the money, just let me know. I’ll help you deposit it in the bank.”
Hearing this, Luo Xiao thought this was a good idea. Although he originally planned to put the money in his own space, which would be absolutely safe, doing so might raise suspicions about where he put the money. Since Ye Lan proposed this suggestion, he felt it was really timely.
“But I won’t be able to get my ID card for another year. Is that okay?” Luo Xiao secretly lamented that being underage was really not good. It was too troublesome when handling certain matters that required ID!
Ye Lan patted his chest and replied, “No problem, I’ll help you solve this little issue!” He felt a sense of accomplishment being able to help his Xiao Xiao. Even if in the end it was still the Ye family’s identity being borrowed, so be it. Even if his grandfather knew, he definitely wouldn’t blame him, because this was helping his future granddaughter-in-law.
It must be said that it was a good thing that Luo Xiao didn’t gain the supernatural ability of mind reading after his rebirth.
Otherwise, if he knew the position Ye Lan had decided for him in his heart at this moment, he would definitely take off his shoes and throw them hard at his face without any politeness. It’s really shameless. Moreover, even if they really end up together in the future, why does his position have to be the bottom one? He is also a man, and he can also be on top, okay!
The auction affairs have come to an end for now. Luo Xiao and Ye Lan discussed it and decided to go to the bank the day after tomorrow to deposit the money.
Two days later, at the time of getting out of school, Luo Xiao and Ye Lan walked out of the school gate together. Because Ye Lan had already contacted his grandfather through a message yesterday, they were very smoothly invited into the office by the president of the Z Bank in S City branch.
“Young Master Ye, and this young master, hello.” The president of Z Bank smiled and poured them a cup of tea. “My surname is Han, you can call me Old Han.”
“No, we’ll just call you Uncle Han.” Ye Lan took the tea with both hands and said with a smile, “I guess my grandfather has already told you about the purpose of our visit this time, Uncle Han?”
Uncle Han nodded with a smile, “Yes, the old master said your friend wants to deposit a sum of money in our bank, right?”
“Mm, that’s right.” Ye Lan patted Luo Xiao on the shoulder, “This is my friend. The amount he wants to deposit this time is quite large, but since he won’t be able to get his ID for another year, so let’s take this money…”
Uncle Han understood with a nod. This is the Young Master Ye’s friend. Thinking of the strength of the Ye family in B City, he secretly decided in his heart: No matter how much money this young master finally wants to deposit, he must treat him as a VIP guest.
You know, he was very anxious and excited when he received the call from the butler of Old Mr. Ye yesterday. So here he was, patiently waiting in the bank early in the morning just to go out and personally greet the Young Master Ye when he arrived. As long as he gets on good terms with the young master, his opportunities in the future will be… hehe!
Luo Xiao smiled and made an introduction: “Uncle Han, hello, I’m Luo Xiao, sorry to trouble you with this matter.”
“No trouble, no trouble.” Uncle Han waved his hand repeatedly, and added in his heart: You are my great benefactor, I will cling tightly to your thigh.
So without knowing it, Luo Xiao was hugged by someone in the thigh, even though he himself did not feel that he was a big “golden thigh”. Alas, no one can blame him for that. It’s because there is another real big “golden thigh” here. He also has to kneel down and beg to hold his thigh~
Ye Lan nodded towards Luo Xiao. Since his grandfather had hinted over the phone that this is a trustworthy person, then sometimes letting him know a little bit about some things is also very important. It can not only make the other party feel trusted, but also to some extent have a deterrent effect.
After seeing Ye Lan’s signal, Luo Xiao directly took out the black embroidered pouch from his pocket. This made Uncle Han, who had been watching them, flash a puzzled look in his eyes. But the next second he opened his eyes wide in surprise: This, what is this? Could it be that there is something wrong with his eyes?
So Ye Lan and Luo Xiao both watched silently as Uncle Han kept opening and closing his eyes, and wiping his eyes.
“Uncle Han, you don’t need to doubt, your eyes are fine.” Ye Lan spoke up to stop his opening and closing eyes again.
“But, this, this, could it be?” Uncle Han pointed a trembling finger at the eight million cash in front of him, then looked at Luo Xiao as if he had thought of something, with obvious respect on his face.
Ye Lan nodded silently. When Uncle Han saw this, he took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart: “Young Master Ye, Young Master Luo, don’t worry, I will keep this matter a secret and never tell anyone! Thank you for trusting me like this. In the future I will definitely go through fire and water for the Ye family, and give my all to you without any regrets!”
Seeing the emotional and solemn Uncle Han, the two of them looked at each other silently. It seems… this effect is a bit too much?
In any case, at least they have achieved the result they wanted. Under the personal guidance of Uncle Han, Luo Xiao quickly completed the deposit business. Holding the first black card in his life, his heart was filled with a complicated feelings he couldn’t describe.
Watching the backs of the two as they left, Uncle Han’s face showed a clear smile. In addition to the trust shown by the Young Master Ye just now, there was also the fact that Young Master Luo had deposited more than 7 million, which had exceeded the quota and completed the target. He felt that he had taken a big step towards a higher level. Indeed, today is his lucky day! Mm, it’s decided, he will stick to the policy of clinging to the big thigh for 10,000 years without wavering!!
