BXBX NOVEL Chapter 495 - 495. The Competition
Upon hearing this, MO Qian laughed lightly and said in a deep voice without turning his head, “Bureau Chief Xiao is right! I, MO Qian, am naturally not an overbearing person. Since this is the auction venue, everyone will naturally have to rely on their abilities. The one with the highest price will get it! I’ve already made a bid. Do you still want to follow, Director Xiao?”
As soon as MO Qian finished speaking, Xiao Ting raised his board and answered MO Qian’s question, “Of course, we’ll continue to follow! This ghost hand Lotus is a novelty to me, and my mother’s spirit has been getting worse and worse recently. I plan to take this ghost hand Lotus, and give it to her to nourish her body! I’d like to see if this ghost hand Lotus is as magical as Doctor Zheng said! 7-5 million!”
As he spoke, he stated his price in a deep voice, but his eyes stared straight at MO Qian.
“Bureau Chief Xiao is filial!” MO Qian didn’t react to Xiao Ting’s bid, but Zhuang Ming spoke up beside him.
His tone was casual and funny. It sounded like he was joking, but he was mocking Xiao Ting.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Ting and continued, “But isn’t it a bit too wasteful for you to use such precious medicinal herbs to nourish the old lady’s body?
We can’t do such a reckless thing! You must know that when others take this ghost hand Lotus, they do it to save their lives. MO Qian is not the kind of person who likes to fight for it. Perhaps he needs this medicinal herb more than anyone else!”
Zhuang Ming’s words were very polite. Although he still couldn’t see through Xiao Ting’s true intentions, he could still speak up for MO Qian.
He couldn’t wait until Xiao Ting killed him before retorting and saving himself, could he?
Zhuang Ming wasn’t that stupid. He could tell which was more critical between MO Qian and Xiao Ting. Moreover, Xiao Ting’s intentions were not pure, so he couldn’t just stand on Xiao Ting’s side.
After hearing Zhuang Ming’s words, Xiao Ting laughed and shook his head, “I disagree with what CEO Zhuang said! Even President MO himself had said this was an auction based on one’s abilities. There was no such thing as being unkind or wasting a heavenly gift! Don’t you agree, President MO?”
“You won’t sell the property to nourish your old lady. That is not necessary! Let’s not talk about whether this ghost hand Lotus is suitable for the elderly to nourish their bodies; it doesn’t look good for you to make such a big move! What was that saying again? ‘Puffing one’s face up,’ right? I’m only saying this for the sake of Director Xiao; please don’t be angry.”
MO Qian stopped talking and turned to look at Xiao Ting, who was behind him. He had a teasing smile, but it did not reach his eyes. It made people feel a little scared and in awe!
How could MO Qian not know? Although Xiao Ting, the police chief of City H, had absolute power in his hands, his family’s financial situation was not enough to be called a wealthy family in City H. At most, he could only be considered a police officer who had relied on the strength of his wife’s family to enter the circle of wealthy people successfully.
MO Qian was quite confused about this. He didn’t understand why Xiao Ting wanted to go against him. What was Xiao Ting’s purpose in doing such useless work? Or rather, why was Xiao Ting so eager to attract his attention?
Could it be that he had accidentally offended this Director Xiao? This shouldn’t be the case! The MO Corporation didn’t have any critical cooperation with the police recently. If there was such a thing, it was impossible for MO Qian not to Imow.
Besides, if it was because of old grudges, Xiao Ting shouldn’t have used such a method to take revenge on him. He was too stupid!
This didn’t seem like something a Police Chief would do!
