Chapter 270 Auction
Han Xuewei went to work, and Lin Yi left the two children at home with the nanny.
He had already installed surveillance at home, so he could see everything that happened there.
If the nanny did anything to hurt the children, Lin Yi would find out right away.
The first thing Lin Yi did after leaving the house was to contact Han Xuemei, and to his surprise, Han Xuemei actually dared to answer the phone.
"Why are you suddenly calling me? Are you ready to beg for mercy? If you kneel down and beg me now, perhaps I might consider seeing you once."
Han Xuemei had thought that Director Zhao had made his move and that Lin Yi was calling her to beg for mercy—what else could it be?
She was feeling quite smug, while Lin Yi was completely baffled.
"It's daytime now. If you're dreaming, it would be better to wait for the night."
What did Lin Yi mean? Wasn't he here to beg her for forgiveness?
If not, then why was he calling her on his own initiative?
Or had Lin Yi finally realized that she was far better than Han Xuewei?
"So why are you calling me? I have nothing to do with you guys anymore. For other matters, you should contact someone else."
After saying this, Han Xuemei was about to hang up, but how could Lin Yi give her that chance? He quickly spoke up.
"You've scammed a lot of money from others through this hotel, is that true?"
Han Xuemei didn't expect Lin Yi to reach out to her because of this issue. How could it be possible? How could it be exposed?
Could it be that that wretched girl went to them on her own initiative?
"I don't understand what you are talking about. These things have nothing to do with me. If anyone has come to you, you'd better go talk to them to clear things up—it has nothing to do with me."
Han Xuemei was obviously guilty.
Lin Yi hadn't even mentioned that someone had come looking for them. Wasn't this an inadvertent admission?
Fortunately, Lin Yi had automatically recorded the call while speaking to Han Xuemei.
"I never said it had anything to do with you. I just want to know whether you did such a thing or not. If not, then let's pretend I never came to you today. However, I need to make it clear to you that a lie can be told once, but if you tell too many, you won't be able to wriggle out of them later."
Lin Yi always spoke in innuendos when talking to Han Xuemei, which irritated her greatly.
Why did he always have to act so superior and lecture her?
What was so great about him, just because he had more money than others? Just because he had more property?
He hasn't made his fortune yet, and she was already attached to a big shot in the pharmaceutical industry!
Sooner or later, Lin Yi would be at her feet.
"Even if that were the case, I don't need you to worry about it. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Having said this, Han Xuemei quickly hung up the call and immediately dialed Director Zhao.
Director Zhao, upon receiving a call from his goddess, was, of course, ecstatic.
The goddess had just been embraced into his arms, and he intended to cherish her for a few days. Read new chapters at empire
"Honey, Lin Yi just called me, and he threatened me again. If you don't help me get rid of him quickly, we might not be able to live together in the future, and then I won't be able to take care of you."
Han Xuemei was disgusted by the sound of her own voice.
But there was no choice; the old man liked it that way, so Han Xuemei had to endure it.
Upon hearing his goddess call him honey, his soul nearly flew out of his body.
It seems that if Lin Yi isn't dealt with promptly, he'll interfere with grand plans later on.
"Darling, don't worry. Leave it to your husband. I'll take care of him as soon as possible, and make sure he doesn't disturb the two of us," he said.
After a few more sweet nothings, Han Xuemei reluctantly ended the call.
But the moment she hung up, Han Xuemei's demeanor changed completely; it was truly disgusting!
No matter how many showers she took, she couldn't wash off the filth from her body.
Why should she have to lower herself to such an old man, while you and I have a handsome husband to love and cherish her? That's so unfair, isn't it?
Han Xuemei never contemplated her own issues, always blaming everything on Han Xuewei.
After finishing the call with his goddess, Director Zhao also started to ponder how to deal with Lin Yi.
Attempting the straightforward approach would certainly fail.
Lin Yi was a man full of schemes, and he seemed to have a considerable amount of funding; acting rashly would only alert him.
There was a batch of new medicinal herbs coming to market soon… might as well use that to blunt Lin Yi's edge a bit.
Lin Yi had collected a lot of evidence against Han Xuemei from Lu Xinyao, which would play a significant role later on.
Now, Lin Yi hoped to quickly deal with the hotel, as there were some people there that needed handling as well.
But now, Lin Yi had an even more important task to attend to; a new batch of medicinal herbs had arrived, and an auction was about to begin.
Lin Yi had to win this batch of herbs for the use of his employees.
Soon, Lin Yi felt the bustling atmosphere at the auction; this place was indeed crowded.
Those sitting in the audience were from smaller enterprises.
And those with private rooms were from larger corporations.
Of course, there were also people like Lin Yi, who had spent a great deal of money for a private room and thus had the right to bid first.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, who would have thought you'd come today? We've kept the private room you snatched from us last time reserved just for you," said the attendant at the door, recognizing Lin Yi's name and immediately taking his role seriously.
This was a VIP customer, after all!
Their boss had instructed them to take good care of Lin Yi and not to neglect him in any way.
"Then lead me there. I've heard there's a batch of medicinal herbs being auctioned today, freshly imported," Lin Yi said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yes, that's right. This batch contains many precious herbs, hence the auction. If Mr. Lin is interested, you could join in," the attendant replied.
Lin Yi was there precisely for these herbs, slated as the final item at the auction, while there were many other items being auctioned first.
If Lin Yi found something interesting, he might bid on it for Han Xuewei's amusement.
On his way to his private room, Lin Yi ran into Director Zhao.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Little Brother Lin. Are you here for that batch of medicinal herbs?" Director Zhao greeted Lin Yi, not ignoring him.
As annoying as he was, Lin Yi was not going to pick a fight at this time.
"Most people here are probably here for the medicinal herbs, isn't that today's big attraction?" Lin Yi replied.
"Hahaha! Little Brother Lin, you're new to society and there's a lot you don't understand. That batch of herbs won't be so easy to secure," Director Zhao said with laughter.
What do you think?
