Chapter 201: Unexpected Reunion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Miao couldn’t help but feel curious.

These medicinal herbs were different from ordinary ones. They couldn’t simply be boiled in a pot; they required extremely specialized and complex processing methods. Some even needed to go through several, or even dozens of steps to be refined into medicine.

Regular people wouldn’t understand or know how to handle them, and even wealthy billionaires would only buy what they needed. It was impossible for them to purchase such a large quantity all at once.

Professor Wen and Elder Sun wouldn’t come to a place like this, so could there be another pharmaceutical expert in Luo City?

Lu Miao was somewhat interested in meeting this person.

Sitting back in her seat, it was clear that whenever rare medicinal herbs appeared in the subsequent auctions, the buyer with number 9 would participate and spend generously, acquiring a significant number of them.

After the auction concluded, Lu Miao walked to the door of her private room and looked towards the other side.

There were a total of 18 private rooms on the second floor, from number 1 to number 18, corresponding to the number on their respective plaques. Lu Miao was in private room number 6, plaque number 6.

Similarly, the holder of plaque number 9 corresponded to private room number 9, located to her right.

As the auction ended, service staff began to deliver the items won by the guests in the private rooms, while also providing card payment services.

Lu Miao stood at the door for a few minutes until the door of private room number 9 finally opened.

The service staff left first, followed by a familiar figure emerging from the room.

Upon seeing that figure, Lu Miao was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it seemed as if it was expected.

Originally, she thought they could become friends, but now it seemed unlikely.

Lu Miao shrugged her shoulders and was about to turn and leave.

But that person happened to glance at her and subconsciously looked at the plaque number behind her. Upon seeing that it was number 6, he instantly became furious.

He quickly rushed over in three steps, his anger evident as he exclaimed, “It’s you again! The first time you cheated me out of a million euros in the medicinal market, the second time you trapped us on the mountain and took the Starfall Herb, and this time you didn’t participate in the auction except to compete with us, causing me to unnecessarily spend an extra 5 million. Are you doing this on purpose?”

If it weren’t for Lu Miao joining in at the end, he would have been able to secure the Dragon’s Blood Resin for 20 million.

Lu Miao helplessly raised her hands, “We were separated by several private rooms, how was I supposed to know it was you?”

“You managed to catch that monster who killed people, so how could you not know it was us? You…you’re targeting foreigners intentionally,” Aluo gritted his teeth and glared at her.

Other people in the private rooms had started leaving one after another, and the argument between the two had drawn the attention of many.

“Aluo,” a gentle voice came from behind.

Lu Miao looked up and saw the man in the black tracksuit from before, now wearing a light-colored thin windbreaker. It accentuated his tall and slender figure.

He wore a white T-shirt and light-colored casual pants, giving him an overall refined and youthful appearance.

However, compared to when she last saw him, there seemed to be a hint of fatigue and weakness between his brows.

Gu Zhixing approached, placing a gentle pinch on Aluo’s shoulder.

Aluo muttered under his breath, “It was deliberate, I didn’t say anything wrong. She’s intentionally targeting me.”

Gu Zhixing turned to look at Lu Miao. Contrary to his previous gentle demeanor, his gaze was sharp. “What a coincidence, we meet again.”

Once is a coincidence, twice is also a coincidence, but three times? Is it still a coincidence?

Although Lu Miao was indeed formidable, possessing mysterious abilities that the average person couldn’t contend with, if she was truly targeting them, he wasn’t afraid.

She knew he didn’t believe it.

Lu Miao touched her nose. While she did have some deliberate intent during the first two encounters, she was innocent this time. She simply wanted to bid on the Dragon’s Blood Resin because she was currently studying incense-making.

Just as she was about to explain, a staff member hurriedly approached her, handing her a bank card.

“Sorry for being late. This is the profit from the auction of your Yin-Yang Grass.”

Upon hearing these words, Aluo, who had just been calmed down by Gu Zhixing, exploded with anger once again. He nearly jumped up, saying, “So, that Yin-Yang Grass was yours?”

Lu Miao covered her mouth and coughed lightly a few times, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she said, “Yes.”

“You…” Aluo angrily pointed at her, realizing that he had spent ten million to win it, and he felt even more regretful. He would have been better off spitting blood.

Feeling both wronged and angry, Aluo’s eyes turned red.

He wished he could throw the Yin-Yang Grass directly at her face.

He pointed at her for a while but, being a foreigner, his vocabulary was limited, and he couldn’t come up with a proper way to insult her.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and angrily called her a “bad person” before reaching out to grab Gu Zhixing’s hand, intending to leave.

Gu Zhixing let him go without resistance.

“Wait a moment,” Lu Miao spoke up.

Aluo turned around, furious, like a lit fuse, and glared at her. “You’ve already tricked me multiple times. Isn’t that enough? What else do you want from me? Let me tell you, just because I’m a foreigner doesn’t mean you can keep bullying me. If you continue like this, I’ll… I’ll go to the embassy!”

Is this child really so naive? Acting like a primary school student who runs to the teacher when they can’t win a fight?

Lu Miao’s lips twitched, and she turned to look at Gu Zhixing beside her. “Don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to ask for your name. You seem familiar to me, like I’ve seen you somewhere.”

She had that feeling when she saw him in the mountains on the outskirts last time.

And now, the feeling was even stronger.

Gu Zhixing was somewhat surprised. Clearly, he didn’t expect her to ask that.

He was about to speak when Aluo quickly rushed forward, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and firmly stood in front of Gu Zhixing.o

With a vigilant expression, Aluo looked at Lu Miao and said, “I’ve read about this online. In Huaxia, what you’re doing is called hitting on someone! Can’t you find a boyfriend on your own? Do you have to snatch someone else’s?”o Lu Miao replied, “No, I’m not… I didn’t…”

“I’ve seen it many times on the internet. What you’re doing is hitting on someone. Don’t try to deny it.”

With a defensive posture, Aluo glared at Lu Miao, then turned around and covered Gu Zhixing’s eyes with his hand to prevent him from looking. He quickly pulled him and headed towards the elevator.

In a low voice, he muttered in Gu Zhixing’s ear, “You’re not allowed to look at her. Your television said that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people. She’s a bad woman who likes to trick and steal other people’s boyfriends. If you ever see this kind of woman again, you must stay away from her.”

Lu Miao: …

Speechless, completely speechless!

She was simply asking for a name, how did it turn into her being a bad woman who steals other people’s boyfriends?

Besides, men only slow her down when she works toward her goal.. What does she need a boyfriend for?
