When they returned to their residence in Jinyang District, lunch was ready. Only Zhao Liying was eating, but Nie Yingxuan was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm back." Zhao Liying stood up and took the coat that Duan Chen had taken off as she smiled.
Duan Chen glanced at the living room and asked in confusion,""Where's Yingxuan?"
"She asked for half a day off from me and will be back before dinner.”Zhao Liying explained and hung Duan Chen's coat on the hanger.
"Oh." Duan Chen nodded and sat at the dining table.
"Do you know Liu Tianyi?" Duan Chen suddenly asked while eating.
Duan Chen guessed that Zhao Liwen didn't want Liu Tianyi's life for him. It was more likely because of Zhao Liying.
After all, Liu Tianyi had kidnapped Zhao Liying before, and Zhao Liwen had done that to prevent future trouble.
"Liu Tianyi?"
Hearing this name, Zhao Liying frowned and her eyes were filled with disgust."Yes, he's the son of the chairman of Qiming Film and Television. He's a very annoying person.”
Seeing Zhao Liying's appearance, Duan Chen confirmed his guess. It seemed that Liu Tianyi and Zhao Liying knew each other and had at least harassed each other before.
One was the young master of a film and television company, and the other was an artiste who had just debuted. It was easy to imagine the plot in between.
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Zhao Liying asked curiously.
"Liu Tianyi is dead." Duan Chen smiled.”
" Dead?!" Zhao Liying's expression changed. This news shocked her. She was fine two days ago. Why did she suddenly die?
"How did he die?"
"I don't know. You should be able to see the news in two days.”Duan Chen didn't even raise his head and continued eating.
Zhao Liying looked at Duan Chen suspiciously and subconsciously thought to herself, It couldn't be Duan Chen's doing, could it?
Just as Zhao Liying was about to continue asking, Duan Chen stopped eating. His expression froze as two names appeared in his mind.
"Guo Jing, Huang Rong."
He immediately put down his chopsticks and said,"I still have something to do. I'll leave first."”
Without giving Zhao Liying a chance to speak, he disappeared from his seat.
Zhao Liying was already used to Duan Chen's identity, so she did not make a fuss. After being stunned for a while, she shook her head and continued eating lunch.
Pawnshop No. 8.
Duan Chen sat opposite the trading table, quietly waiting for customers to come. On the other side, Little Seven brought a cup of tea.
"Get me some snacks. I'm not full yet.”Duan Chen waved his hand and signaled Little Seven to change.
Little Seven nodded and turned to leave. After a while, she came back with two plates of desserts and placed them on the trading platform.
Duan Chen ate slowly. Although he wouldn't starve to death now, the feeling of an empty stomach wasn't good. There was no need to abandon the desire to eat that should be satisfied.
Ten minutes later, a man and a woman walked in through the door and slowly walked up to Duan Chen.
When he saw the guests, Duan Chen quickly swallowed the snacks and signaled Little Seven to clean up. He stretched out his hand and said,""I'm sorry. Please sit down."
"We should be the ones apologizing for disturbing your meal.”Guo Jing appeared very polite as he cupped his fists.
Huang Rong, on the other hand, was very curious. She kept looking at the surrounding environment. To her, novel things always had great attraction.
After Guo Jing and Huang Rong sat down, Duan Chen said,""Hello, I am the owner of Pawnshop No. 8. I can provide any pawning service. How can I help?”
Speaking of serious matters, Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other. The latter said,"My master, Hong Qigong, was injured by the old poisonous creature and is in critical danger. I hope you can save him!”
"Injured? What injury?" Duan Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Poisoned!" Huang Rong replied.
Hearing this, Duan Chen nodded in understanding and said,""Ouyang Feng's poison isn't that easy to cure.”
He said this to the other party. Detoxification was a small matter for the No. 8 Pawnshop, but as a businessman, Duan Chen naturally had to raise the price as much as possible.
"We know that. As long as you can save Master, we will agree to any condition.”Guo Jing hurriedly said, his honest face filled with anxiety.
Before Duan Chen could say anything, Huang Rong glared at Guo Jing as if she was saying," Brother Jing, can you be a little more stupid?
Duan Chen coughed lightly and found it a little funny. This couple was indeed quite interesting.
"Alright, both of you, please provide the pawned items?”Duan Chen went straight to the point.
Huang Rong pondered for a moment and took out a few bottles of pills."These are the Nine Flower Dew Pill, Impermanence Pill, and Seven Fields Shark Gall Powder that are unique to our Peach Blossom Island.”
Duan Chen took a glance at it and retracted his gaze. He maintained his smile and said,""Continue."
Seeing Duan Chen's uninterested expression, Huang Rong hesitated for a moment before she took out a book and said,"This is my father's original score of the Blue Sea Tide Song.”
Duan Chen still shook his head. Guo Jing was anxious at this moment, and he couldn't help but say,""Then what do you want?"
"I want the Nine Yin Scripture and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”Duan Chen looked at Guo Jing and said.
