My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 937 Struck by a Stray Bullet
"These two items may not look like much, but I, Ivanov, assure you, their value is beyond measure. I hope everyone will actively support the auction. Moreover, at that time..."
He spoke with an air of mystery and glanced at Yiren.
"I have an important announcement to make."
The guests were abuzz, their eyes shining brightly as they looked at the two items. Many were already interested, thinking that since the Ivan Family was speaking so highly of them, these items must be extraordinary, and they were all quite curious!
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, but Hua Lunxi’s face turned incredibly dark, and he was also extremely shocked.
The theft of that black box already filled him with confusion; he wondered, how could the Ivan Family possibly know of the black box’s existence? And seeing that vase, his heart was even more shocked.
If he guessed correctly, that vase might be something that even he was unaware of, after all, each location and method his uncle used to hide secrets were different. He knew of this black box only because his uncle had told him before, while the others were sealed in a confidential letter, and only when Ye Lu opened it, would he know the remaining secrets’ whereabouts.
But how could the people from the Ivan Family know about it?
This was not a good development.
It was slipping out of his control.
Su Feiman raised his glass, took a sip, and said, "Ivan is quite the sly fox, always playing mysterious. By doing this, he has drawn everyone’s attention to his treasures. The more mysterious and untraceable the origins, the more appealing it is, stirring up competition. This time at the black market auction, the most attention will undoubtedly be on him. It seems he’s really putting in the effort to steal the limelight."
"Does Godfather think, what these two items might be?"
Su Feiman was unconcerned: "It doesn’t matter what they are, what’s important is whether these two items have any utility for us. By the way, that woman just now, she is your woman?"
"Mhm," Third Young Master Jun spoke indifferently, with an air of nonchalance, "She’s pregnant, and not feeling well. She’s quite the trouble. I brought her here to rest a bit, to prevent my child from becoming unhealthy."
His tone was as if he were talking about a tool for bearing children.
Su Feiman raised an eyebrow: "For her, you undertook two six-star missions; I thought you must love her deeply."
"Ha... Godfather, you must be joking. Do people like us know love? Besides, it was for my bloodline. If it weren’t for the child in her belly, I couldn’t bother with her. Before she had the child, I never cared whether she lived or died," Third Young Master Jun’s eyes were filled with coldness.
"That’s good. A man destined for greatness should not be encumbered by personal feelings for his children. Having weaknesses is the beginning of death."
...
"I’ll take you back," Ling Kong followed Ye Lu into the car.
Ye Lu didn’t refuse; having extra security was always good. The car drove along a quiet street when suddenly two groups of people burst out in front, and the night sky was pierced by the sound of gunfire as they started a gunfight.
A weaker group charged towards them while the other pursued relentlessly.
Ling Kong frowned and ordered the driver sternly, "Turn around."
No sooner had he spoken than a stray bullet from the group shot out, hitting the windshield of the car with a sharp rebounding noise.
Scared, Ye Lu hugged the two children and ducked under the seats.
"What’s happening?" she was utterly shocked, "Hit by a stray bullet?"
Their luck was truly terrible, stumbling upon a firefight and those reckless bullets flying about.
