Mo Yunchen gave a faint nod.
The door to the presidential suite opened, and Qin Qin’s figure entered. Mo Yunchen stood up from the sofa, his expression slightly darkened, "Why are you here?"
Mo Sheng was taken aback and bowed his head, "Madam!"
Qin Qin nodded at Mo Sheng and walked straight to Mo Yunchen, who grabbed her hand with an unwavering expression, "Why did you come? Didn’t I tell you to rest well at home?"
"If you’re here, why can’t I be? Don’t tell me you’re on a business trip, I know everything."
Qin Qin said to Mo Yunchen coldly, while Mo Sheng glanced at the two of them and quietly left, closing the room door behind him.
He hadn’t let anyone tell her, so how could she know?
"You came to Jin City to find the Heavenly Heart Grass for me, didn’t you?"
Qin Qin asked Mo Yunchen in a low voice, "Why didn’t you tell me anything? Mo Yunchen, do you think I would be happy about this? This matter isn’t that simple, and you just came ?"
Mo Yunchen, sensing her anger, held her in his arms, "I didn’t want you to be in danger."
It was clear that someone behind the scenes was instigating and orchestrating everything, but who this person was, they didn’t know yet. However, regardless of what the future held, they had to push through and resolve it together.
"Fool, I’m your wife, I should be with you." He did everything quietly for her, how could she just hide behind him and enjoy it all.
Mo Yunchen held Qin Qin tight, lowered his head, and kissed her tender lips, "Okay!"
After the kiss, Qin Qin leaned into Mo Yunchen’s chest.
"How did you find out about this?"
Mo Yunchen’s narrow phoenix eyes darkened as he asked gravely.
Qin Qin took out a text message from her phone and handed it to Mo Yunchen, "Someone sent me a message."
Mo Yunchen took it and glanced at it, his expression growing even more solemn, wondering what he should think?
"The number that sent the message is fake; we can’t trace it."
Qin Qin said softly. From her poisoning to the appearance of the Heavenly Heart Grass, it all seemed to be part of some conspiracy. They were determined to uncover the person behind it all.
At half-past one in the afternoon, Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin entered the Golden Hall Auction House, taking low-key seats at the back of the auction hall.
The auction began at two o’clock, and Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin sat at the back watching the proceedings until the final auction item.
The auctioneer on stage was taking out the last item for auction, a rectangular box. Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin looked at each other, could it be that this box contained the Heavenly Heart Grass?
"I’m sorry, the last item was supposed to be an auction for Heavenly Heart Grass, but since the owner has taken the herb back, we can only auction this Jade Ruyi instead. This Jade Ruyi is..."
The auctioneer on stage continued to introduce the origins of the Jade Ruyi, many people in the audience listened with interest, ready to bid for the Jade Ruyi. They knew nothing of Heavenly Heart Grass nor what use the herb had; they preferred something more tangible. Whether the Heavenly Heart Grass was part of the auction or not didn’t matter to them.
Nobody noticed the darkened expressions of Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin in the corner.
"What exactly is this person trying to do?" Qin Qin looked at the Mo Yunchen beside her. The Heavenly Heart Grass was released in the Golden Hall Auction House, and now they suddenly had a change of heart.
Mo Sheng came over from not far away, gripping a person from the Golden Hall Auction House, and walked up to Mo Yunchen, "Master Mo, this is the manager responsible for the Golden Hall Auction House."
"Mas... Master Mo!" The manager trembled, never expecting the person to be the legendary figure of Jingdu City, Mo Yunchen. Mo Yunchen’s reputation resonated loudly in Jingdu City, and their small auction house could not possibly afford to provoke him.
"Master Mo, we also don’t know what happened. That person gave us the Heavenly Heart Grass to auction off, and at first, we were unwilling, as we had never even heard of this Heavenly Heart Grass. But then they offered us a large sum of money to help with the auction, saying someone would pay a high price for it. Today at noon, I don’t know why, but they changed their mind and took the Heavenly Heart Grass back, saying that... if anyone asks, they should go to an establishment on Dongping District Minfu Road that is hosting a masquerade ball to retrieve it."
That was all he knew, the people were fierce, and that was all he had heard.
He never thought those people were just talking big; he had not expected that the person wanting the Heavenly Heart Grass would turn out to be the big figure of Jingdu City, Master Mo.
The masquerade ball in Dongping District Minfu Road was held in a leisure club. It was said to be a birthday celebration organized by the young master and sons of the club.
