176: Chapter 176 He'll definitely help you get revenge in a beautiful way.
Leaving the underground auction.
Luo Wei originally wanted to go home to accompany his sister.
However, halfway there, Chen Aila suddenly called.
After answering the call, that person's extremely excited voice came through the receiver, "Boss, our company has business coming in!"
"Hmm?" Luo Wei was very puzzled by this. "Have you finished decorating the company? How did it open so quickly?"
"The company hasn't opened yet!" Chen Aila quickly explained. "A beautiful woman came to the door looking very pitiful."
"I didn't want to bother with her at first, but she said her house is haunted!"
"This sounds very interesting, so I decided to take on this business!"
"..." Luo Wei was speechless.
That fellow Chen Aila was quite a gossip.
The reason she wanted to be a Private Investigator was entirely for the sake of following the drama.
To satisfy the raging fire of gossip within her.
Speaking of which, todays intelligence mentioned someone's house being haunted.
"I'm heading to the company right now!"
"Mhm, waiting for you!"
Luo Wei turned the car around and headed in the direction of the company.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the city center and park the car in the underground garage of the Financial Building.
Then, he took the elevator to the eighteenth floor; this place was originally the Zhenbai Investigation Company.
Now, this floor was still the Zhenbai Investigation Company, but the owner of the company had become Luo Wei.
At this moment, there were a full dozen or so workers renovating this floor.
The entire floor was filled with dust, and the rumbling was constant!
Of course, the office area was unscathed and no work was being done there.
Entering the office area, Chen Aila greeted him immediately!
This short-haired beauty excitedly pointed at a woman who was drinking tea.
That woman had a baby face and a very hot figure.
"Hmm?" Seeing that baby-faced woman, Luo Wei was surprised.
Not long ago, he had seen that beauty at the underground auction site.
Seeing Luo Wei, the baby-faced woman hurriedly put down her teacup, stood up, and walked over quickly.
She asked with quite a surprise, "Are you the boss? I saw you at the auction just now!"
"That's right!" Luo Wei smiled and shook hands with her. "I saw you too."
"Boss, we really have fate. My name is Cui Youxi."
As expected, she was the person mentioned in todays intelligence.
Luo Wei smiled and gestured for her to sit down.
Then he asked, "You said your house is haunted, right?"
"Yes!" Cui Youxi nodded worriedly. "Lately, all sorts of eerie things have been happening in my home!"
"For example, strange noises at night, or strange figures appearing outside the window!"
"Sometimes, a faucet that was turned off will mysteriously turn on."
"Even... blood has come out of the faucet..."
As Cui Youxi recounted these events, Chen Aila was so scared that she kept moving closer to Luo Wei.
She felt very afraid of such things, but also felt incredibly curious and excited!
Luo Wei noticed that Cui Youxi's expression was very calm.
She seemed to be telling someone else's story.
Rather than her own personal experience.
Activating his Intelligence Eye, Luo Wei checked the woman's situation.
Under the gaze of the Intelligence Eye, a line of text intelligence appeared next to Cui Youxi's head.
'This woman's father died some time ago in an abandoned building in the east of the city; she wants to dispose of the collection her father left behind as soon as possible.'
Seeing this intelligence, Luo Wei immediately recalled what happened a while ago.
Some time ago, he had gone to the abandoned building in the east of the city to wait for an opportunity.
He had intended to help Xia Ningxue capture a Wanted Criminal.
Unexpectedly, in the abandoned building, he witnessed a Antique Dealer set up that Wanted Criminal!
At that time, both the Antique Dealer and the Wanted Criminal died, and Luo Wei harvested the disease mist!
The beautiful baby-faced woman before him was clearly that Antique Dealer's daughter!
"Actually..." Cui Youxi continued her story.
"I know there's no such thing as ghosts in this world!"
"It's my father's friends who are intentionally scaring me!"
"They want to scare me out of my wits so I'll quickly sell off my father's collection at a low price!"
"My father liked to collect all sorts of old objects during his lifetime, but he passed away unexpectedly a while ago..."
Speaking of this, Cui Youxi was a bit embarrassed; she naturally knew her father was a dishonest merchant.
Her father's death couldn't be blamed on anyone else; it was definitely his own fault!
She continued, "I don't want to sell my father's collection at a low price."
"But those things don't have complete paperwork, so they can't be sold through regular channels."
"So, I specifically went to the underground auction today to see if I could put them up for auction there."
"As for the result..." Cui Youxi smiled at Luo Wei; she was also very disappointed with the underground auction.
"underground auction?" This term piqued Chen Aila's curiosity.
"A place like that sounds very impressive!"
Luo Wei explained with a smile, "A place like that only sounds impressive."
"Did you know? Someone even took stolen cell phones to be auctioned there!"
"Alright..." Chen Aila was speechless; such a thing really lowered the prestige of an underground auction.
It was just like the "ghost markets" in some places—they sound scary and mysterious!
In reality, a so-called ghost market is just people setting up stalls to sell junk.
"So..." Luo Wei returned to the main topic, "Ms. Cui..."
"Just call me Youxi!" Calling her "Ms. Cui" and all that made her feel old!
"Okay!" Luo Wei nodded. "Youxi, what is your purpose for coming to our company?"
"Do you want to commission us to help you 'exorcise ghosts,' or to handle your father's collection?"
Facing the inquiry, Cui Youxi quickly gave her answer.
"If possible, I hope you can help me dispose of those collectibles."
"Only by selling those items will my father's friends stop obsessing over them and stop harassing me!"
"My father's collection is definitely worth a fortune. If you sell the items, I can give you a ten percent commission!"
Luo Wei nodded; he didn't care how much commission Cui Youxi offered.
He only wanted to resolve this matter and then earn intelligence points!
At this moment, Chen Aila excitedly objected!
"How can that be enough!"
Cui Youxi was a bit nervous; a ten percent commission was already a lot, she didn't expect this company's appetite to be so large!
However, that wasn't what Chen Aila was objecting to; she glared at Cui Youxi, disappointed that she wasn't stronger.
"Those people dressed up as ghosts to scare you, and you plan to just laugh it off?"
"I won't agree to that; you have to take revenge!"
"How do I take revenge?" Cui Youxi hadn't thought that far; she just wanted to sell her father's collection quickly.
Chen Aila didn't know how to take revenge either, but she pointed at Luo Wei with a grin. "Leave this matter to our boss!"
"Our boss is very capable; he can definitely help you complete your revenge beautifully!"
"Is that so?" Cui Youxi hurriedly stood up and gave a ninety-degree bow!
She certainly hated those people to death and wanted to retaliate against them!
"Boss, I'm counting on you!"
Chen Aila gave Luo Wei a smug wink.
Luo Wei was speechless; this fellow really knew how to find trouble for him...
