Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Many in the hall felt that Zhuang Rao was bullying Tang Wan too much and were inwardly indignant, but no one wanted to cause trouble, all acting as onlookers—a wall of spectators. And the only one who really couldn’t stand it and took revenge on her behalf was that person just now.

“Brother Five, do you know the person just now?”

“I couldn’t see clearly,” Jiang Jinsang gave Jiang Jiu a meaningful look.

Yet in less than a minute, he was back, saying he hadn’t seen anyone.

“How could the person just disappear when you’ve just chased after them?” Tang Wan furrowed her brow.

“I’m not sure, the hotel corridors are inherently complex, and there are many rooms, so it’s really not easy to find someone.”

…

At this moment in the surveillance room, although Jiang Yanting was looking for someone, he was also closely monitoring the movements in the auction hall.

Jiang Jinsang was acting capriciously, and Zhuang Rao had hit his sore spot. A display of temper was enough, but there was concern he might do something excessively outrageous.

“Ha—did this woman not consult the almanac before leaving home? She got bumped into again.”

“I suspect this lady did it on purpose; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she tripped over her?”

“I also think it was deliberate.”

…

The other people in the surveillance room were all focused on the auction hall, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle like watching a melodrama.

Jiang Yanting squinted and suddenly pointed at a spot on one of the monitors in the auction hall, “Rewind that a bit!”

The camera panned back, and he squinted at a shadow, “Zoom in!”

The camera was high definition, but the lighting was too dim, and only a vague outline could be seen.

“Second Master, the auction is about to start; what about this…” The manager had already hinted several times.

But this time, Jiang Yanting didn’t stay put and turned to leave swiftly…

However, by the time he arrived, the person had long since vanished.

“Daddy.” Qi Zeyan came over with Jiangjiang.

“Damn, why is it that every time something like this happens, I’m not around and miss a big scene?” Qi Zeyan felt that he and Tang Wan were truly meant to meet but not fated to be together, otherwise why did he miss every opportunity to be the hero?

“Brother…” Jiang Jinsang’s position was right next to Jiang Yanting, and at this moment, all the lights were focused on the stage, making the area below even darker.

“Hmm?”

“Was that the person from before?”

Jiang Yanting didn’t say a word, but Jiang Jinsang laughed softly, “Hating evil as if it were his personal enemy, if that’s her character, I wouldn’t mind calling her sister-in-law.”

“Don’t talk nonsense when we get back home.”

“Why can’t I talk?”

“Jiang Jinsang?”

“It’s you asking me now, so you should show some respect if you want help finding someone.” Beijing isn’t big, and anyone coming here today has ways to be traced. Finding someone might take time, but it’s not difficult.

“I’ll do it myself!” With his own matters, Jiang Yanting didn’t want others to interfere.

Jiang Jinsang disliked taking medicine as a child and had been forced to by him a few times, something that had always left a bad taste. Now that he had a hold on him, seeing him at a disadvantage felt strangely satisfying.

His poor health was a weakness, while his elder brother rarely showed any vulnerabilities, making it difficult to exploit him…

Once a person has a weakness, they’re no longer made of steel and iron.

Though it might give others leverage, living in this world, who doesn’t have a few people they hold in their heart, or for whom they’d be willing to risk everything? That’s what makes life full of endless flavors…
