174: Chapter 174 The Book of Deals Emitting Fluorescence

The shifty-looking Ma Tianming was willing to follow orders.

Luo Wei lifted his foot and stopped stepping on him.

He felt someone staring straight at him.

Luo Wei turned his head and saw the middle-aged woman who had been beaten black and blue by Ma Tianming.

She was actually looking at him with a face full of resentment, and a line of text intelligence appeared next to her head.

'This woman wants to help her son escape.'

What a piece of work!

Has this middle-aged woman lost her mind?

Just now, she had been brutally beaten by her 'dear son'!

Now, seeing her son caught by Law enforcement personnel, she actually still wanted to help him escape!

As expected, Yang Wenying's complaint just now was right; pitiable people must have something hateful about them!

Luo Wei couldn't be bothered to deal with that kind of woman, so he directly released a wisp of disease mist!

The disease mist, invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, entered the middle-aged woman's body!

From now on, she would be plagued by a hundred illnesses and walk toward death!

"Let's go!" Luo Wei urged the shifty-looking Ma Tianming to walk forward and lead him to the underground auction.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly reached out, wanting to say something, but her throat couldn't make a sound.

She felt the world spinning and felt extremely unwell!

She had no idea that she was haunted by the disease mist!

Her days were numbered!

Inside the McDonalds.

Seeing that Luo Wei didn't start a fight in the street, Yang Wenying breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know where Luo Wei was taking Ma Tianming, but it wasn't her business.

She quickly took out her phone and called her older sister, Yang Qian.

With her daughter missing, Yang Qian was nearly driven mad with worry!

She knew her daughter must have been kidnapped by Ma Tianming!

Even knowing this, she didn't dare call the police, fearing Ma Tianming would report the murder that had once happened at the Furniture Factory!

Just then, she received a call from her younger sister, Yang Wenying.

"Sis, I'm with Shuangshuang right now."

"Brother Luo Wei took me and found Shuangshuang just now."

"Shuangshuang is fine; we're having lunch at McDonalds."

"Really?" Hearing this, Yang Qian practically wept with joy!

Luo Wei was truly reliable and incredibly capable!

"Does he know about Ma Tianming's matter?"

"Yeah!" Yang Wenying explained with some worry, "Brother Luo Wei said he would resolve the future trouble!"

Yang Qian's heart skipped a beat; she had seen Luo Wei's methods!

She didn't judge whether Luo Wei was good or evil.

But she didn't want anything to happen to him!

"Did you remind him to be absolutely careful?"

"Don't worry!" Yang Wenying was worried herself but couldn't help comforting her sister.

"Brother Luo Wei isn't a child; he'll protect himself."

While the two were talking, Luo Wei was heading to the underground auction with Ma Tianming.

Ma Tianming thought Luo Wei was Law enforcement personnel, so to redeem himself, he poured out everything he knew about the underground auction.

The underground auction didn't have any specific staff.

It was said that it started with an old man at a street stall because several customers were fighting over the same item.

So, the street stall old man organized a unique auction.

Unexpectedly, that auction was highly sought after by both vendors and customers.

Not only did the auction continue, but it also grew larger.

"That auction doesn't have a fixed location."

"Every time it changes locations, it's announced through word of mouth."

"Many people find hidden gems at the auction—buying something for a few thousand and reselling it for several hundred thousand!"

Ma Tianming's eyes lit up as he spoke; the reason he kidnapped Tang Shuangshuang was to get money to find hidden gems at the auction.

Before long, Ma Tianming led Luo Wei to an Urban Village.

After many twists and turns, the two entered a spacious tile-roofed house.

Inside the smoke-filled tile-roofed house, nearly a hundred people were gathered.

Some were dressed in suits and leather shoes, while others were slovenly.

At the front of the house was a wooden high platform.

Anyone with goods to auction could go up on stage to display them.

At this moment, a masked young man was on stage displaying the latest model of a Fruit brand phone.

"...This phone is like new, with no scratches at all. Its owner was a campus belle from a certain vocational school!"

"The starting bid is one thousand yuan. Any boss who wins the phone and returns it might even get a surprise!"

An auction sounds high-end, but who would have thought someone would be auctioning a phone!

It was obvious at a glance that they were selling stolen goods; this underground auction was likely used for fencing.

Witnessing this, Luo Wei was deeply disappointed in this bullshit underground auction.

However, since he was already here, he naturally had to take a look around.

"What 'goddess-owned phone'? Get lost!"

"Get down! Sell your crappy phone to a phone shop!"

"..."

No one was interested in the phone on stage.

Amidst the crowd's jeers, the masked young man slunk off the stage.

Soon, a hunched old man walked onto the stage carrying a bronze artifact.

"I'm a farmer. I dug this out of the ground thirty years ago."

"I wanted to keep it as a family heirloom, but my grandson is seriously ill, so I plan to sell it..."

No one cared about the old man's story; everyone crowded forward to examine the details of the bronze artifact.

Luo Wei used his Intelligence Eye to observe; that bronze artifact actually wasn't a modern craft.

The bronze artifact had two hundred years of history and held some value.

In other words, there were actually genuine goods at this underground auction!

Activating his Eye of Thoroughness, Luo Wei looked around the entire venue!

He was doing it with a casual, just-looking attitude.

Unexpectedly, he saw something emitting a faint fluorescence in the venue!

Back then, the white jade porcelain bottle, spiritual energy ring, and disease mist all emitted a faint fluorescence under the gaze of the Eye of Thoroughness!

Now, seeing that fluorescence again, Luo Wei felt exceptionally pleasantly surprised!

Following the fluorescence, he found it was a book that was glowing.

The book was packed inside a suitcase.

The owner of the suitcase was a scholarly-looking young man.

The young man was pulling the suitcase a bit nervously; he was waiting in line, preparing to auction the books in the suitcase on stage.

Luo Wei stepped forward and waved. "Hello, what do you have in your suitcase? Are you planning to auction it?"

"Yes!" Seeing someone was curious, the scholarly young man hurriedly opened the suitcase.

"These are all my grandfather's collection. Although they're miscellaneous, many of them have some history..."

Luo Wei used his Intelligence Eye to look at the books packed into the suitcase.

Some books were published during the Republic of China era, while others were Qing Dynasty editions; those books were indeed worth some money.

Luo Wei reached out and rummaged through them casually; finally, he picked up the book that was emitting fluorescence.

To be precise, it wasn't a book, but an old notebook with a black leather cover.

The Intelligence Eye provided the corresponding information immediately.

'This is a book of transactions.'

"Hmm?"

Luo Wei was very puzzled.

What is a book of transactions?
