Chapter 77: Ralph
Peaceful Restaurant.
As the auction time got closer, more and more bidders gathered.
Under normal circumstances, on this occasion, they would communicate, and before the start, they would talk about a few businesses.
But at this moment, all the bidders here were all frozen.
Some people's eyes widened with shock.
Some people opened their mouths slightly, unable to say a word for a long time.
Regarding the lantern, they had already received notice from the organizer before they came, and they knew the stakes deeply. Even when they came, many of them had discussed whether anyone would hang the lantern, but the final result was negative.
This kind of gameplay, even the Wu Family might not be able to play it.
But
Unexpectedly, they had just entered the hall and entered the auction site. A red lantern in the window of the Private Room No. 1 had already appeared high up.
At the scene, there was complete silence.
Hu, hu...
Only the sound of people sucking cold air could be heard.
Almost everyone turned their gaze to the window of Private Room No. 1, wanting to see who was inside...Unfortunately, no matter how wide their eyes were, they couldn't see who was inside.
After a long time, this silence disappeared, and it was replaced by an uproar.
"Isn't the person in the Private Room No. 1 belonged to the Wu Family? Apart from their family, who would dare to hang up the lantern as soon as they came up at this auction? Moreover, the first private room can only be reserved for them." A woman in a black evening gown, with high heels, her hair high and graceful, whispered a guess.
"Really from the Wu Family? Is the Wu Family already determined to win the first item of the auction?" Near the woman, someone nodded.
"How about we go in and visit the people in that private room? Can it be counted as giving face to the Wu Family? We don't need to bid for the first item?" Someone was shocked, his eyes lit up, and then he felt that this was a good opportunity to make friends with the Wu, it would bring unimaginable benefit to his family.
"All right!"
"I agree!"
"Then, let's go together?"
In the hall, after discussing and turning over, the rich and powerful people quickly reached the same opinion, ready to go to the private room together to express their opinions. At the same time, it had been determined that the Wu Family must be in the first private room.
However, before they took a few steps, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the Peaceful Restaurant, which was very lively.
"Please give in, please don't stand in way..." There were staff members who were maintaining order, shouting constantly.
"Mr. Wu, I'm Ding Yuande, we've seen each other before..." A man with thinning hair and wearing a suit squeezed hard to the front, his face flushed, just to be familiar.
"Young Master Wu! You are finally back, is the Old Immortal of Kunlun Mountain a real immortal?" A young man, who looked crazy, shouted loudly.
"Young Master Wu!"
"Mr. Wu..."
Despite the staff maintaining order, the outside voices continued.
Perhaps Young Master Wu and his father were in Q city, attending the Zhao Family funeral, and when they went to Kunlun Mountain to see the Old Immortal, they didn't have any confidence to speak of. But in this Ancient Town, the Wu Family was more powerful.
Countless dignitaries rushed to get acquainted.
Just
In the face of these people's voices, if it was on normal occasions, Young Master Wu and his father would cast some smiles.
But now
Both of them walked with weak legs, and their complexions were very pale.
"Fucking scram away, why are you so annoying?" When the surrounding voices were too much, Young Master Wu became angry, his eyes swept around, and he even dared to shout and curse loudly when he was sure that he didn't find any trace of Ye Bei.
The scene suddenly became quieter.
In the lobby of the Peaceful Restaurant, those people who wanted to go to the Private Room No. 1 before, when they saw Young Master Wu and his father now, they were in a completely different situation. Their faces were dull and their hearts were stormy.
"The person in the first room is not from the Wu Family?"
"The people from the Wu Family are coming now... Then... who is the person in the first room?"
"Looking at this situation, it seems that the people in the Wu Family are very angry. Is it possible that... if they have hatred with the people in that private room, there may be a big incident today? So, the people in the first private room just directly hang up the lantern?"
Countless speculations popped up in these people's minds.
Although it did not matter to them, at this moment, cold sweats began to swell on their foreheads.
Soon, Young Master Wu and his father, under the guidance of the staff, walked into the restaurant, and then, in full view, walked in the direction of the second private room.
This scene even made countless people speculate on the identity of the person in the first room.
...
Meanwhile in the guest room.
Ralph stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, stretched out his hand, and moved gently to organize his clothes.
The white robe on his body was completely brand new.
He stretched out his hand to smooth out some folds that shouldn't be creased little by little meticulously.
When the clothes were properly arranged, he took out a razor again and began to shave his cheeks and chin seriously.
The movements were not hurried or slow, the shaves were very serious. The whole process as very calm.
When everything was ready and all the details were processed, he sprayed some perfume on his body again and pulled the collar out with his hands. He thus stepped forward and walked out of the guest room.
When he went out, he instinctively locked the door and checked it twice to confirm that there was no problem. Then he left with confidence.
Click!
Ralph's steps were not heavy, but he made a clatter of footsteps, full of rhythm.
"Mr. Ralph!"
"Yeah."
"Hi! Mr. Ralph!"
In the aisle of the Peaceful Restaurant, Ralph walked slowly. Even if he met the waiter in this hotel, he would smile gracefully for the first time, and nod his head to indicate an answer, giving people an approachable feeling.
His eyes were deep, and his pupils naturally exuded indescribable wisdom and dignity. If someone who did not know his identity, seeing his current image, he would definitely guess that he was from an ancient family and a rigorously trained nobleman.
However, when he reached a corner, his eyes suddenly changed, and there was only greed and madness.
Next to him, another old man appeared. He was one of the members of this collaboration.
"Ralph, are you sure you're going to meet him by yourself?"
"Of course!"
"What if he doesn't admit it?"
"I will show evidence..."
"Okay... Then, remember to make both the recording and the video!"
"Sure!"
The dialogue between the two was very simple.
After speaking, Ralph continued to walk, the direction was the Private Room No. 1 where Ye Bei was located.
As the distance got closer, the enthusiasm in Ralph's eyes continued to intensify.
He had been researching for so many years.
When the truth was finally about to be solved, the excitement in his heart was self-evident.
