Chapter 422: Long Bao's Wife
Now that we have this side taken care of, let’s look at the other side.
Longbao Auction House
There were two people sitting in the hall. The woman in red sitting in the main seat was about thirty years old. Although she had experienced many hardships, she was still charming and beautiful.
At this moment, she looked calm, and was not moved at all by Ye Changlin's intention.
"Master Ye, it's not that I don't agree, but the auction house has its own rules. The privacy of customers must be kept absolutely confidential. Others can't just look at it if they want to."
"Can't you be flexible?"
"This is a matter of life and death. You have to know that the person was taken away from your auction house. If something happens, won't your auction house be held responsible?"
Ye Changlin originally thought that this evidence collection should not be difficult. After all, it involves human life, and he couldn't just refuse so ruthlessly, right?
But they really refused.
She tried to persuade him in every possible way, but he just refused to agree. Ye Changlin was so angry that her face turned black.
Hearing Ye Changlin's words, Yingniang's eyes flashed with displeasure. She shook her embroidered peony round fan and sneered.
"Master Ye is not a child anymore, he should understand the principle of paying for goods with silver, right?"
"The person left my auction house, but he was alive at the time. He was fine before the sale, but then something went wrong. What does it have to do with me?"
"I didn't kill the man, how can you put the blame on my auction house?"
Ye Changlin looked grim: "You..."
Maid raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Ye, it's not that Maid is unreasonable, it's just that the rules are here."
"After all, it damages the reputation of our auction house. In business, honesty is the key. Patriarch Ye should understand this."
Ye Changlin frowned and asked unwillingly, "Can't we make an exception?"
"This one……"
Seeing Ye Changlin being so sincere and earnest, Yingniang felt embarrassed.
"It's not that I don't want to help, but the rules are here and cannot be broken, unless..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Changlin suddenly felt that things had turned around and suppressed his excitement.
"Unless what?"
The maid sighed: "Alas, it's useless to say anything."
Ye Changlin's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Just say it, I will find a way as long as I can do it."
Wei Niang glanced at her and paused, "Well, since Master Ye is so sincere, I'll tell you." "To be honest, the rules of Longbao Auction House were set by my master. If you want to make an exception, you can only do so with my master's consent."
Ye Changlin stood up, his eyes sparkling: "Are you serious?"
Seeing her delighted look, Yingniang waved her fan and couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "Master Ye, don't be too happy too soon."
"My master rarely comes here. I have never seen her since I took over the auction house. I heard that the last time she appeared in the auction house was more than two hundred years ago. The manager at that time was my great-grandmother."
"You...are you kidding me?"
Ye Changlin's fiery heart was extinguished by a bucket of ice water, and he stared at Wei Niang in surprise and anger.
More than two hundred years ago?
Is that person still alive?
If it is still there, wouldn’t it be an old monster?
If I had known this earlier, how many emperors since ancient times would have dreamed of immortality?
But who can really do it?
Immortality is just a dream.
Facing Ye Changlin's questioning, Ying Niang curled up a mysterious smile and said lazily.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"As for when my master will come back, to be honest, I don't know either."
"you……"
Ye Changlin was so angry that his chest heaved, his face looked ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
"I think you just don't want to help, so you deliberately make up such an excuse!"
"Heh~"
Wei Niang chuckled and slowly stood up: "Whatever Master Ye thinks, I have already told you the solution. I have something else to do, so I will not accompany you any longer."
As he said this he was about to turn and leave.
Just then, a little girl hurried in.
"The butler~"
The maiden paused for a moment, looking uneasy: "Why are you so flustered?"
The little girl stood on tiptoe and whispered something in the ear of the beautiful lady, and suddenly the beautiful lady's face changed suddenly.
"really?"
