177: Chapter 177 You're still young, you don't know the dangers of the martial world.

Faced with Cui Youxi's request for revenge,

Luo Wei naturally had no reason to refuse.

Helping her get revenge was a very simple matter.

However, how to sell her father's collection was a difficult task.

Luo Wei signaled Youxi to go home first and wait for news; he needed to think carefully about how to sell the collection.

Just as Youxi left, Chen Aila came skipping over to Luo Wei to claim credit!

"Hehe, so, isn't this baby-faced beauty pretty?"

"I can tell she has a crush on you!"

"With my assist,"

"you'll be able to win her over in no time!"

Hearing this, Luo Wei's forehead was covered in black lines.

"Why are you suddenly acting like a pimp?"

"Hehe..." Chen Aila backed away sheepishly, keeping her distance from Luo Wei.

"Right now, there's only the two of us in the company. I'm worried your animal instincts will take over and you'll try to 'pull rank' on me, so I quickly found another woman to satisfy you!"

"Animal instincts?" Luo Wei glared at the short-haired beauty. "In your eyes, am I some kind of beast?"

"Exactly, you're just a... Ah!"

Before Chen Aila could finish,

she had already been pulled into Luo Wei's arms.

Chen Aila was scared out of her wits, but luckily Luo Wei didn't take things too far in a place like this.

After teasing her for a bit, Luo Wei let her go.

Immediately, Chen Aila began tidying her disheveled clothes.

Blushing, she hurriedly kept her distance from that big villain Luo Wei!

Luo Wei chuckled and instructed her, "Tell the renovation workers to speed up. The pool must be finished before the summer vacation arrives!"

Chen Aila didn't nod; instead, she made a face at Luo Wei. Seeing him reach out to grab her again, she quickly fled.

Luo Wei got up and left the company. While taking the elevator down, he had already figured out how to handle Youxi's situation.

"Youxi!" He dialed Cui Youxi's number. "Call those friends of your father's."

"Say that you plan to sell those collection items to them."

"After that, I will show up to deal with it!"

Cui Youxi followed Luo Wei's arrangement.

On her way home, she drove while calling her father's friends to notify them.

By the time she reached home, her father's friends had already gathered at the door, waiting!

Those people were all smiles; they had long guessed that Cui Youxi would do this.

"Youxi, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? You look like you haven't rested well!"

"Did you hear some strange noises in the middle of the night?"

"I told you long ago that the things your father collected from all over the country are not clean!"

"Most of them are burial goods that have been lying in ancient tombs for hundreds or even thousands of years!"

"Their malevolence isn't something a young girl like you can suppress!"

Faced with the 'concern' of these uncles, Cui Youxi sneered coldly in her heart.

Of course, her face appeared exceptionally obedient as she repeatedly thanked everyone for their concern.

She wasn't an idiot; she had known for a long time that this group of old fogies was pulling strings in the shadows.

The collection her father left behind was all obtained through trickery and deception.

There was no way to sell them through regular channels!

Several times, Cui Youxi had wanted to just donate the collection to a museum!

But her father hadn't left much of an inheritance.

If she donated the collection,

the loss would be too great.

Cui Youxi opened the front door.

The uncles filed inside.

They familiarly walked toward the basement.

All of Cui Youxi's father's collection was placed inside the basement.

She entered the password, pushed open the basement door, and turned on the lights.

Instantly, it was as if everyone had entered a museum.

The spacious basement was lined with various styles of curio shelves.

On each shelf sat all sorts of collection items.

Cui Youxi dared to let these people into the basement not because she trusted they wouldn't act up,

but because she was holding a single-barreled shotgun—another item left behind by her father!

If those uncles dared to snatch the items in the basement,

she would absolutely dare to pull the trigger and teach them a lesson!

"Youxi..." The Goatee Old Man looked at Cui Youxi with a smile.

"You said on the phone just now that you're willing to sell these items to us. How do you plan to sell them?"

"Make an offer for whichever item you like!" Cui Youxi sat on a grand armchair with the gun. "If I think the price is right, we'll settle the deal immediately!"

There were hundreds of items in the huge basement, including many good pieces; the few people present couldn't possibly take them all!

However, they wanted to buy out everything in the basement as a package deal!

"Youxi, I think that's too much trouble."

"How about this, we'll offer ten million!"

"You sell all the items to us as a whole!"

The Goatee Old Man's proposal drew nods of agreement from the others.

Seeing Cui Youxi's expression turn sour, the Square-faced Middle-aged Man chimed in.

"Youxi, ten million is already a very fair price. Look at those pottery jars and bowls; they're not worth much at all."

"Some things are indeed worth hundreds of thousands, like that Blue and White Porcelain Vase. I assume you've looked into it—that thing is stolen property from a certain theft case!"

"Even though it's valuable, you can't sell it. Once you try, it'll be confiscated by the Law Enforcement Department in minutes!"

"So our offer of ten million is quite high, and it saves you a lot of trouble!"

The Square-faced Middle-aged Man's words had some truth to them.

But Cui Youxi knew very well.

To buy this room full of items, her father had spent tens of millions over the years!

Many items had appreciated in value by ten times, or even hundreds of times!

These people wanted to take everything for a mere ten million.

They were dreaming!

However, Cui Youxi didn't fall out with them.

She smiled at them. "Uncles, to be honest, I'm not really sure about the prices of these items."

"But, I've invited an expert to come and help with the appraisal!"

"What?" Hearing this, the men were shocked!

"Youxi, you can't just act recklessly!"

"Exactly, some of your father's collection can't see the light of day!"

"I know!" The more anxious they became, the more satisfied Youxi felt.

"Uncles, thank you for your concern, but that expert is absolutely reliable!"

"No!" The Goatee Old Man said with a stern face. He didn't want their good deal to be ruined by someone else!

"Youxi, you're still young and don't know how treacherous the world is. You must never trust those outside experts..."

"Hehe..." Cui Youxi sneered continuously in her heart.

These people had the nerve to talk about the world being treacherous!

They were the very treachery in this world!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Cui Youxi was delighted, knowing it was Luo Wei.

She quickly left the basement and went upstairs to open the door for Luo Wei.

The people in the basement exchanged dark looks.

They reached a silent agreement, preparing to make things difficult for the expert Youxi had invited...
