The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

"Hahaha... Interesting, interesting..." Xie Yichen suddenly laughed. He lowered his head and looked directly into Su Qingning's eyes. He said in the same serious tone, "Okay, if that's the case, I can certainly do it."

"Aning, can you call me Third Brother now?" Xie Yichen asked with a smile.

Su Qingning stared at Xie Yichen for a long time, thinking about something in her heart. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and called out softly, "Third Brother."

"Hey!" Xie Yichen responded happily. He raised his hand and gently patted Su Qingning's shoulder, smiling and saying, "Good brother."

Su Qingning glanced at Xie Yichen's hand from the corner of her eye and resisted the urge to wave it away. She looked up at Xie Yichen and said, "Third brother, since I called you brother, you must keep your word. You must help me with this favor today."

"..." Xie Yichen was stunned for a moment. He found that he seemed to have fallen into Su Qingning's trap. It turned out that everything she had just said was for this moment, so that he could not refuse her request.

The others also reacted. They looked at Xie Yichen, who was in a state of confusion, and all of them showed a gloating expression on their faces.

Hahahaha… This is really fun to watch! This unscrupulous businessman actually got schemed against one day. He finally met his nemesis, hahahaha…

"Since Aning has asked, then as her brother, I will naturally help." Xie Yichen moved his hand from Su Qingning's shoulder to her head. He gently rubbed her hair, his tone helpless but with a hint of indulgence. "Okay, Aning, now you can tell me what you want me to help you with!"

Su Qingning opened her mouth but did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at Yang Youli and others with a hesitant look.

Xie Yichen saw her concerns and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, Aning, they are all my friends and can be trusted."

"Yes, yes!" Qi Runyu agreed with a smile, "Little brother, since you acknowledge Xie Huli as your brother, then we are also your brothers. If you have any problems, just tell us. We brothers will help you no matter what."

After Qi Runyu finished speaking, Yang Youli and Tang Jinan also smiled friendly at Su Qingning; and although Mo Lintian did not smile, he did not refute Qi Runyu's words.

In her previous life, Su Qingning knew that Mo Lintian was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She knew that friends who were recognized by him must have good character.

Su Qingning felt relieved. She looked up at Xie Yichen and said straight to the point, "Third brother, I'd like to know the information about the person who bid on that fiery red fox fur at tonight's auction. Please let me know."

Hearing this, Xie Yichen hesitated. The auction house has its own rules. As the person in charge of the Seven Star Auction House, he must ensure the reputation of the auction house and cannot easily disclose customer information.

"Aning, can you tell Third Brother why you want to know that person's information?" Xie Yichen asked seriously. He had to find out the reason before deciding whether to reveal the information to Su Qingning.

Su Qingning was silent for a while, and then she said six words, "He is my enemy."

"What?" Xie Yichen felt that Su Qingning's words were a bit strange. He asked in confusion, "Since you don't know who the other person is, how do you know he is your enemy?"

"That's right!" Qi Runyu nodded in agreement. He looked at Su Qingning and teased, "Little brother, your reason is really a bit strange! Even if you are making it up, at least make it a reasonable one!"

Hearing Qi Runyu's words, Su Qingning glanced at him indifferently and then looked away, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him. She raised her head and looked at Xie Yichen, explaining, "That fiery red fox fur coat is made from the fur of my summoned beast's mother."

With just this one explanation, everyone in the room understood what was going on.

Xie Yichen was silent for a while, then he started walking towards the door. When he passed by Su Qingning, he softly uttered three words, "Follow me."

Su Qingning turned around and followed Xie Yichen silently. The two walked out of the No. 1 private room one after the other. Yang Youli and the other three watched them leave but did not follow them.

Xie Yichen brought Su Qingning to the room where they signed the postage agreement three days ago. He walked to a landscape painting hanging on the right wall, then raised his hand and took it down.

Su Qingning was wondering about Xie Yichen's actions, but she found that after the portrait was taken down, a small square window appeared on the wall. The material seemed to be the same as the material on the window in the private room of the auction house.

That is, they can see behind the window, but the person behind the window cannot see them.

"Aning, come here." Xie Yichen stepped aside and let Su Qingning stand in front of the window.

Su Qingning walked over, tiptoed slightly and looked through the small square window, then he saw a familiar figure, it was Manager Xie.

Only then did Su Qingning realize that next to this room was the place where the Seven Star Auction House conducted transactions.

"The person who sent the fox fur for auction requested to be the last one to trade after tonight's auction," Xie Yichen's voice slowly explained. "Judging by the time, he shouldn't have left yet."

Hearing this, Su Qingning was delighted. She turned her head and thanked Xie Yichen gratefully, "Thank you very much."

After saying that, Su Qingning turned her head again and continued to stare at the small square window in front of her.

Seeing this, Xie Yichen smiled helplessly, then walked to Su Qingning and stared at the small window with her.

In the next room, after Steward Xie sent away two guests, a servant came in with a man covered in a black cloak.

"It's him." Xie Yichen suddenly said.

Su Qingning was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She stared at the man in the black cloak. Judging from his figure, he should be a man.

"Sir, the fox fur you sent for auction fetched a total of 10 million gold coins. After deducting the 5% commission, there's still 9.5 million gold coins left." Steward Xie looked at the man before him, who was hiding himself under a cloak, his face still adorned with a familiar smile. "Please show me your spirit card, and I'll deposit the gold coins into your card."

The cloaked man nodded slightly. He raised his hand and handed a gold card from his wide sleeve to Manager Xie. He did not make any sound during the whole process.

Manager Xie took the gold card, walked to the instrument beside and operated it for a while, then came back with the gold card and returned it to the cloaked man.

"Sir, the gold coins have been transferred. You can check it." Manager Xie said with a smile.

However, the other party had no intention of checking. He put the gold card away and left.
