Chapter 466: Chapter 466: A Rainy Day Encounter

"Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of Youyou."

Finally, Mr. Chi only agreed to let them go to the auction after they repeatedly assured him.

"Once we get there, you must stick with me."

Cheng Shujin felt a sense of superiority for the first time, he could finally play a role!

In M Country, he could still walk around with ease!

"Okay, big cousin~"

Chi Youyou naturally wouldn’t refute his face, having someone to order around for free wasn’t a bad deal, right?

However, this auction was relatively safe, the location belonged to the senior brother, and she had already informed the senior sister. Also, the director was coming in a few days.

If she lost a single hair on her senior brother’s territory, the senior brother would definitely be skinned by the director.

Besides, there was Song Shiyu too~

So she wasn’t at all nervous about attending the auction, instead, she was quite excited.

"Darling, don’t worry, the reason they’re putting this piece of amber on display is to lure us in, there won’t be any other dangers."

Cheng Ruosheng squeezed Chi Dayi’s hand, reassuring him.

"Hey, where’s Zaozao?"

"He’s still in his room. That guy just loves to hole up in his room, completely different from Youyou’s personality!"

"That’s perfect, they complement each other."

"One is too lively, the other too quiet."

"Alright, you’re trying to comfort me but mentioning the kids just makes me anxious instead. Let’s go for a walk."

"Okay! I’ll listen to you!"

The couple watched Chi Youyou and Cheng Shujin leave, before heading directly to the garden.

On the other side, Chi Zaozao had gotten up early and was tinkering with his computer in his room.

The screen displayed the live surveillance footage of the KM Auction in M Country.

That’s right, he had easily hacked into their surveillance system without being detected at all.

There was another monitor on his left, showing the auction’s backend system. He wanted to see who the seller of the amber was.

However, their security system was pretty good; he couldn’t break in all at once and had to do it slowly and bit by bit.

Unaware of her brother’s skills, Chi Youyou had already set off for the auction with excitement.

The weather in M Country was relatively rainy, changing suddenly.

For example, just a moment ago, it was sunny, but now it was pouring rain.

Chi Youyou leaned against the seat backrest, and the excitement had been half washed away by the rain, as she idly played with a pear she had brought from home, knowing her mom loved them and had saved quite a few.

Just before getting in the car, her mom had also specifically given her one.

She had snatched it from her fans’ mouths, who were crying about this last batch that never got put online.

"Oh, it’s been a long time since I last streamed, I wonder if my fan babies miss me."

"Or maybe they’ve forgotten about me!"

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Cheng Shujin, sitting next to her, screamed, and the car made an emergency stop. She almost got thrown out, but luckily she had her seatbelt on.

"What happened?"

"I’ll get out and take a look, it seems like we hit someone."

"What! I’m coming with you!"

Chi Youyou didn’t wait for Cheng Shujin to object and directly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Are you okay!"

In the heavy rain, in front of the car, sat a person in a navy raincoat, thoroughly wrapped up.

"Be careful, I’ll go over there."

Just as Chi Youyou prepared to walk up, Cheng Shujin pulled her back. It’s always better to be cautious.

She nodded, took the umbrella from his hand, and followed behind him, becoming more vigilant as she thought of their purpose this time.

"Hello, are you alright?"

Cheng Shujin asked in English, seeing no response, he asked again, "Are you injured? Do you need a ride to the hospital..."

"I’m fine, thank you."

His words were interrupted midway by a pleasant female voice, speaking in Huaxia language.

"Are you a Huaxia national?"

"Yes, thank you, I’m fine. I didn’t see clearly while crossing the road just now, sorry to trouble you."

The person stood up from the ground, and Chi Youyou finally saw that she was holding something in her arms, something looked important enough for her to risk injuring herself to protect it.

"Where are you going? We can give you a ride."

The woman’s voice was pleasant, and though she wore a mask and a raincoat hood, her exposed eyes were especially bright and attractive.

Chi Youyou couldn’t help but want to help her.

"No thanks, I can manage on my own."

"Where to?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, several large men appeared, cursing in English.

"Thank you, but I should go now."

Upon hearing this, the woman decided not to stay and headed in another direction.

"Wait, take our car please, we can drop you off at the next intersection."

Chi Youyou sensed something and grabbed her hand, "It’s all on the way anyway, and it’s raining so heavily now, it’s not safe for you to walk alone on the streets."

"No need, they’re here for me, bringing me along will only bring you trouble."

"Trouble? Hahaha, I’m really not afraid; we’re all Huaxia people, we ought to help each other when abroad."

Cheng Shujin wanted to stop but agreed upon hearing her reasoning, he just needed to stay cautious. Even if she was trouble, he could take action immediately.

The woman was about to refuse again when Chi Youyou spoke, "They haven’t noticed this side yet. If we wait any longer and they spot our license plate, we might really be in trouble."

Hearing this, the woman didn’t continue to refuse and got into the car with them.

On the other side, the men noticed a car over here and wanted to check it out, but before they could see the license plate, the car had already driven away.

"You guys go search over there again!"

In the car, Chi Youyou handed her a towel, "Wipe yourself off."

"Thank you."

The woman took the towel, "You can drop me off at the next intersection."

Seeing her insistence and since the men had dispersed, Chi Youyou agreed.

On the way, they didn’t say much, Chi Youyou didn’t ask why she was being chased, and she didn’t mention anything else.

When they reached the next intersection, before the woman got out of the car, she thrust her bag into Chi Youyou’s hands.

"It’s not much of a gift, but I don’t like owing people favors, so this is for you."

Then, without waiting for Chi Youyou to respond, she hurriedly got out and ran into the rain.

This scared Cheng Shujin, who had been pushed into the passenger seat, "Quick! Open it and see what it is! It better not be a bomb!"

Chi Youyou: ...

"What kind of bomb would that be!"

The package was wrapped in a layer of black oilcloth, forming a rectangular, thin block. Unable to resist Cheng Shujin, she still opened it.

It was wrapped in three or four layers, and upon peeling it to the end, she found it was a painting, a very dark-themed oil painting.
