Chapter 168: This Girl Is Too Ruthless (3)

The dumplings and wontons probably improved Du Guobang’s mood. Although the girl had been utterly ruthless, he was truly interested in the items that Mo Beihan had brought. So he smiled and said, “Comrade, remember me the next time you have anything good.”
Mo Beihan smiled. “Elder Brother Du, it’s a pleasure to do business with you. Of course, I will come again when I have anything good.”
A pleasure?
Du Guobang’s expression stiffened!
He felt as if he had been exploited!
Mo Beihan put away the eight hundred dollars and left with his treasures.
Du Guobang stared at them. The two of them left the residence and walked through several alleys. Mo Beihan caught hold of Gu Qingyao and suddenly quickened his steps as he rushed towards a turn that was up ahead. He turned the corner and was lost to sight.
The two youths behind him were taken aback. They hurriedly gave chase, but when they turned the corner, they discovered many paths leading in different directions. There were many junctions in these alleys. They rushed over to look, but found no trace of Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao.
The two of them searched for a while to no avail. They had no choice but to report to Du Guobang.
They had lost the trail?
Du Guobang frowned. After a while, he waved them aside. “Forget it. If you’ve lost their trail, then so be it! They are clearly people of some ability. If they wish to conceal their identity from us, any plan that we can come up with will probably fail.”
“Forget it. As he said, we cannot control him. He also cannot touch me easily because he won’t be able to deal with our patrons.”
The youth who had opened the door for Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao looked at the things on the table and exclaimed, “My God! This is the first time I’ve seen someone with so many good things. They’re certainly capable. Elder Brother, if he comes back to trade with us regularly, we certainly won’t lose out! Anyway, it is to our advantage to have a good relationship with an important person like him.”
Du Guobang naturally understood this principle. But when he looked at the antiques box that Gu Qingyao had picked over, his heart ached again. “It may be to our advantage, but that girl is ruthless. I could barely keep my seat when she was selecting those gems. Fortunately, she stopped just in time.
“And look at those antiques. Somehow, I have a feeling that the girl selected my most valuable items. Do you think the rest are forgeries?”
The youth: “…”
How would he know?
He was clueless about these things!
Meanwhile, Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao waited until the two men had left before they emerged from the interspace. Gu Qingyao glanced at the direction in which the two men had left and laughed, “This Elder Brother Du is trying to find out who we are?”
Mo Beihan laughed. “We brought so many things. In his heart, he is certain that we are one of the biggest players, and yet he knows all the important people in Jiangchong City. Of course, he’s curious when we popped out of nowhere!
“But I understand such people. Don’t worry, he doesn’t mean any harm!”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows and smiled!
She held Mo Beihan’s hand; her little face was flushed with excitement. “Elder Brother Beihan, I’m going to be a huge collector and make lots of money! Hehe!”
Mo Beihan dotingly patted her head when he saw her smiling craftily. “Are you hungry? Let’s get something to eat.”
Gu Qingyao looked around and smiled. “Surely we don’t need to go to the state-run restaurant? Can’t we just go to my interspace?”
Mo Beihan was taken aback. He had forgotten about that!
So the two of them just went back to the interspace for a meal.
Meanwhile, in the town, Zhou Hong was so frightened that she rushed back home only to see Wang Guozhu’s parents chatting with the neighbors in the courtyard. The sun had emerged that afternoon, and many people were sunning themselves in the courtyard.
