Chapter 46: Chapter 45 The Gaze from Behind_1 Chapter 46: Chapter 45 The Gaze from Behind_1 They all shivered subconsciously.
Why could they only feel the raw and eerie coldness behind that smile?
Mu Lin… was angry.
They looked at each other. They were absolutely sure and certain that whatever was revealed tonight was not willingly presented by Mu Lin.
Which means, this incident might be related to the poisoning of Zhang Mingzhe that happened before.
Unknowingly, everyone felt a sense of conspiracy and deception in this situation.
Around seven in the evening, the auction was about to start. A few of them walked out of the private room towards the top floor. Here, there was no usher. No matter how much money you had, you could not afford entrance.
“Please come inside.” The attendant bowed respectfully. Even they were not qualified to enter.
A few of them stepped inside. The Young Master from the Jing family, as always, had a beauty by his side, looking carefree. As for Mu Lin, after knowing her identity and speculating that she might have a different relationship with their Boss, the Young Master from the Jing family has become self-aware. No matter how beautiful this woman was, she was far too important for him to mess with.
He didn’t want any trouble with her, or his family’s Boss, or his grandfather…
The rest of the crowd seemed a bit bored without the usual spectacle, and sadly this was the one time the young master was not captivated by a beauty.
This epiphany of his was indeed ill-timed.
“Boss, isn’t that Doctor Mu?”
Inside the auction venue, there were three special private rooms. Ordinary people did not have the privilege to enter; even people like Zhang Mingzhe and Jing Youlan could only sit outside obediently, unless they used some special connections.
For a few of them, being in a private room was far less comfortable and exciting than being outside. It was magnificently boring inside.
Inside the room, they had a clear view of everything outside, but from the outside, they couldn’t see anything inside. Only the lights at the entrance reminded everyone of the important figures present today.
One of the people inside a private room was Jing Chen.
“When did Doctor Mu and Young Master Jing become acquaintances?” Xigua scratched his head in confusion. The people around Mu Lin, some of them, weren’t they the Little Young Masters from the Manor? Also, the few others weren’t easy to deal with either. When did they get together?
Before this, they had heard that the Boss had gone to the hospital for a check-up and happened to meet Poison Doctor, who they discovered was Mu Lin in reality. They also learned that she had just come down from the mountains and stirred up quite a fuss; Poison Doctor was indeed Poison Doctor, she always caught the public eye wherever she went.
However, they were puzzled. Although they had only met Mu Lin once, according to her nature, they couldn’t fathom why she would willingly stay in such a boring hospital. This wasn’t consistent with the Poison Doctor they knew previously.
They realized their Boss hadn’t spoken for a long while. Turning back, they found the boss was staring outside, not blinking.
In the end, they received a scolding; it was a total shakedown, making them feel lesser than human.
Oh… even thinking about it was heartbreaking.
Black Shark, seeing Xigua pitying himself, followed Jing Chen’s gaze.
The captain was looking at Mu Lin.
This was definitely not their illusion. It felt like ever since they met Mu Lin, they noticed a clear change in their Boss, so much so that there was a time they caught their boss spacing out.
Spacing out! Such a lovesick look, they could never have imagined it to appear on their boss. It was absolutely shocking.
“Captain, should we invite Doctor Mu in?” After hesitating for a moment, Black Shark, for the first time, seemed so… tactful.
“No need.” However, Jing Chen simply pulled back his gaze and sat down, showing no change in expression.
Black Shark nodded and said no more.
Since the captain said no, there must be a reason for it.
Leaning peacefully against the sofa, Jing Chen had the faint smile on Mu Lin’s face in his mind. The look in her eyes was cryptic and inexplicable.
However, these youngsters seem to have had it too easy lately. It was time for some toughening, especially that boy from his third uncle’s family.
His leniency had gone too far.
In just a moment, the miserable fate of some people in the near future was decided. If Jing Youlan had known that Jing Chen was there, he probably wouldn’t have shown up today.
Although it was just a brief moment, Mu Lin still felt two gazes on her from behind. She didn’t sense any hostility, so she didn’t pay any attention to it.
But who were the people in the private rooms behind her? Maybe their target was among them.
