Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

The host's voice sounded weak, as if all the strength had been drained from his body, which was very different from his usual hosting style.

There was laughter and discussion in the audience.

"Haha, I didn't expect the auction company to mess things up this time!"

"That's right, I wanted to see the excitement!"

"It seems that the reputation of this auction company is going to be affected."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, with disappointment on their faces.

Under normal circumstances, the value of this necklace should be more than 1200 million, or even higher.

However, surprisingly, no one else bid except Zhao Wenhao.

This plunged the entire auction into an awkward silence.

But at this moment, Zhao Wenhao couldn't stop smiling in his heart.

He originally participated in the auction with the mentality of giving it a try, wanting to prevent Zhou Xiaoyu from causing trouble, but he didn't expect that he would be able to buy the necklace so smoothly at a low price.

This result was beyond his expectations and made him ecstatic.

He secretly thanked his good luck. If someone had competed with him for the bid, especially if Zhou Xiaoyu had been involved, the price would most likely have been raised to more than 1500 million.

For Zhao Wenhao, such a high price might make him hesitate, after all, it has exceeded his original budget.

But now, everything has become easy and happy. He successfully obtained the necklace he had longed for at a lower price, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

Zhao Wenhao was in a particularly good mood at the moment. He felt that his decision today was very wise. He successfully avoided unnecessary competition and finally got what he wanted.

"Mr. Zhao, this..."

Zhang Peng didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Zhao Wenhao was just casually saying the price for fun, but he didn't expect that he actually bought it.

Zhao Wenhao didn't reveal his thoughts. Instead, he smiled and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. It's worth spending 1100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this necklace!"

"Hahaha……"

Before he finished speaking and Zhang Peng had time to respond, Zhou Xiaoyu, who was not far away, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Some country bumpkins always think they're so great, but this time they're going to fall into a trap!"

After saying that, he showed a mocking expression to Zhao Wenhao and curled the corners of his mouth in contempt.

Zhao Wenhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't even look at him, and completely treated him as a transparent person.

He still has to go backstage to handle the relevant handover procedures.

"Hmph, just wait for me. I'll make you understand that in Hong Kong Island, you have no right to be so arrogant!"

Zhou Xiaoyu stared at Zhao Wenhao's back as he walked away. The expression on his face became extremely gloomy, and there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wenhao took Kuang Youzhi out of the auction company.

At this time, Zhang Peng was still waiting there.

Seeing Zhao Wenhao and Kuang Youzhi coming out, he hurried over to greet them: "Mr. Zhao, I just contacted my cousin. We're going to have dinner at the Liufu Restaurant on the 27th floor of the Pullman Hotel tonight."

"Oh?"

Zhao Wenhao looked at him in surprise. He naturally knew this place.

This is one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Hong Kong Island. It is located on the top floor of the Pullman Hotel and overlooks the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour.

However, reservations here are very difficult and usually require several days or even weeks in advance to book a seat.

Zhang Peng seemed to see Zhao Wenhao's confusion and explained with a smile: "My cousin happens to know the manager there, so he reserved a private room for us so we can enjoy the night view while eating."

Zhao Wenhao nodded to show his satisfaction.

He looked at the time. It was only four o'clock.

So he nodded at Zhang Peng and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the hotel first. I'll be there at 6:30 in the evening."

Zhang Peng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you there."

After saying that, the two separated and left.

Zhao Wenhao took the elevator downstairs and came to the parking lot.

As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Chen immediately reported to Zhao Wenhao, "Boss Zhao, I just saw Zhou Xiaoyu get off the bus and then whispered to his bodyguard, Du San, for a while. Then Zhou Xiaoyu left first, while Du San and his men stayed behind."

Zhao Wenhao frowned after hearing this and asked Zhou Chen seriously, "Where is Du San now?"

Zhou Chen pointed in a distant direction and replied, "It's over there. Guard Qian has already driven over and is preparing to follow them. But I'm worried they'll call for more people. It's unlikely they're the only ones here."

Zhao Wenhao nodded in agreement. He knew that Zhou Xiaoyu might have other arrangements and plans.

"Let's go back to the hotel first."

Zhao Wenhao waved his hand calmly, signaling Cheng Gong to drive away quickly.

He knew very well that the most important thing now was to safely deliver the priceless necklace to the hotel and keep it properly.

This is a precious jewel worth 1100 million yuan, and it is also a wedding gift for lover, so there must be no mistakes.

Cheng Gong immediately started the car and drove quickly towards the hotel.

Zhao Wenhao sat in the back seat, secretly thinking about his next plan.

Suddenly, he said, "I have an important social event tonight, so you need to make arrangements in advance."

Then, he told Zhou Chen and Cheng Gong the specific location of the dinner in detail.

He has full confidence in these two capable assistants and firmly believes that they will be able to complete the task excellently.

"No problem, Mr. Zhao. We will fully cooperate with your work arrangements." Zhou Chen responded without hesitation.

Cheng Gongze then said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao. After we get to the hotel, I'll go to the company and drive another car over. That way, we can leave directly from the underground parking lot and avoid being discovered by those people."

This idea was approved by Zhao Wenhao, who nodded slightly to show his agreement.

The car soon arrived at the hotel entrance, and Zhao Wenhao and the other two got out and walked into the hotel lobby.

At the same time, Guard Qian, who had been secretly monitoring from a distance, also made a phone call in time.

"Mr. Zhao, Guard Qian just called and said that Du San is waiting at the hotel entrance in his car with three people in it. Furthermore, ten minutes ago, two more cars arrived to meet Du San. In total, there are twelve of them."

Zhou Chen immediately came over to report.

Zhao Wenhao nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the situation, but did not express his opinion immediately.

His eyes became deep and sharp, as if he was thinking about his next move.

Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, Zhou Chen tactfully stepped aside and silently wiped the two steel crutches.

These two steel crutches were weapons he had specially made in the past for emergencies.

He is now a bodyguard, and sometimes weapons are necessary protection when facing danger.
