Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Three days have passed since the night Chen Huaiqin passed away.

The Shen family searched almost the entire Xuanzhou, but still found no trace of Gu Tu.

The third day was also the day when Chen Huaiqin's body was officially buried.

Shen Family Cemetery.

In addition to the main members of the Shen family, those who came to bury Chen Huaiqin included some people who were closely related to the Shen family, such as the other three major families.

The person the Li family originally planned to go was Li Qingchi, but a day earlier, Li Qingchi's old illness flared up and he was unable to attend, so Li Cenyuan had to go in his place.

As for the other two families, the ones who came were Qi Man and Song Guwei.

Qi Man and Chen Huaiqin were very good friends. At this moment, she looked at Chen Huaiqin's tombstone and asked Shen Lingtan, who was also looking at the tombstone, "Has Gu Tu not been found yet?"

"No."

"If you need any help, just let me know. Huaiqin is also my friend."

"it is good."

Shen Lingtan stared at the black and white photo of Chen Huaiqin on the tombstone. In the photo, the corners of Chen Huaiqin's mouth were raised, revealing a faint smile.

How long has it been since he saw her smile?

Ever since Shen Lanyi left the Shen family, Chen Huaiqin has never smiled again.

Most of the time, she just sat quietly by the window, staring blankly at the sky.

Shen Lingtan couldn't help but ask himself: Huaiqin, did I really do something wrong...

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Shen family's cemetery.

Therefore, Hua Xi and Hua Chaochao could only stand at the foot of the mountain, outside the cemetery, and watch inside silently.

The sky gradually became gloomy and it began to rain.

Hua Chaochao raised her head, and the raindrops fell on her beautiful face, then flowed down her cheeks, passed through her neck, and finally sank into her collar.

While raising her hands to block the rain, Hua Chaochao reminded Hua Xi: "Sister, it's raining."

Hua Xi's eyes never left the cemetery on the mountain. She responded calmly, "There is an umbrella in the car."

After hearing this, Hua Chaochao turned back to the car to get an umbrella and opened it.

This umbrella is large and can easily accommodate two people.

Hua Chaochao returned to Hua Xi with an umbrella, intending to share the umbrella with Hua Xi.

However, Hua Xi gently pushed Hua Chaochao's hand away.

"Just hold on, don't worry about me."

Hua Xi's mind is very confused now, with countless doubts lingering in her mind.

For example, where is Gu Tu hiding? Is her biological father still alive? What is the purpose of those aliens...

Hua Xi thought that getting wet in the rain might help her think more clearly.

Seeing that Hua Xi was determined, Hua Chaochao did not force her. After all, with a martial artist's physique, it would not be a problem for him to get caught in the rain.

So Hua Chaochao had an umbrella all to herself.

Her gaze shifted away from Hua Xi and turned towards the cemetery on the mountain, with a barely perceptible smile flashing in her eyes.

The rain was getting heavier, but Hua Xi stood there motionless like a sculpture.

Soon, Hua Xi's body was wet.

The troublemaker felt sorry for Hua Xi when he saw her getting wet, so he asked Hua Chao Chao, "Host, you really won't make the heroine autistic?"

From Hua Xi's perspective, many things are simply absurd.

Hua Chaochao said calmly: "Don't worry, if she became autistic so easily, she wouldn't be the heroine."

The troublemaker thought about it carefully and it was true. As the heroine of a pseudonymous novel, Hua Xi naturally possessed an extremely strong heart and the will to challenge difficulties.

Its worries are unnecessary.

……

Li Cenyuan returned to the Li family from the Shen family cemetery.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he ran into Wu Yongfu who was about to go out.

"Master Cen Yuan." Wu Yongfu was the first to greet.

Li Cenyuan politely returned the greeting, then asked with concern, "How is my father's health now?"

I don’t know what happened, but just yesterday, Li Qingchi’s old illness suddenly flared up and he fell into a coma.

Wu Yongfu had come here once yesterday, and he came again today specifically to check on the situation.

Wu Yongfu replied to Li Cenyuan: "The problem is not too serious. He will wake up after taking medicine. But..."

Li Cenyuan: "Just what?"

Wu Yongfu frowned and said in a heavy tone: "It's just that we are still missing a key herbal ingredient. Without it, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and it is hard to say whether Chief Li can wake up."

When Li Cenyuan heard that Li Qingchi might not wake up, worry suddenly appeared on his face. He said without hesitation: "What medicinal herbs? I'll go find them."

Wu Yongfu uttered three words softly: "Night-shining flower."

"Night-shining flower..." Li Cenyuan muttered the name in a low voice, "Where can I find the night-shining flower?"

Wu Yongfu sighed and shook his head: "I can't find it."

Li Cenyuan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Wu Yongfu explained: "Night-shining flower is a very ancient plant. A few hundred years ago, perhaps one or two plants could still be found, but now it is completely extinct..."

Hearing this, Li Cenyuan couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is there no other medicinal herb that can replace the night-shining flower?"

Wu Yongfu: "Yes, there are, but as I said before, the effects of other herbs are far inferior to those of night-shining flowers."

Li Cenyuan's expression became increasingly serious. "What should we do? Without the night-shining flower..."

Seeing Li Cenyuan's reaction, Wu Yongfu guessed that he definitely had not seen the album.

"Master Cen Yuan, don't worry. There is a way to get the night-shining flower."

"The last remaining night-shining flower in the world is in the hands of the Hidden Web Master. And it just so happened that the Hidden Web Master announced yesterday that he would hold an auction, and the night-shining flower would be one of the items on auction."

"There is actually a night-shining flower?" Li Cenyuan asked in surprise.

Of course Li Cenyuan knew that Yinwang was holding an auction. The Li family received the invitation letter and the auction album yesterday, but he did not flip through the album, so he did not know that the night-shining flower was among them.

"I understand. I will get the night-shining flower and wake my father up."

"Then I'm counting on you."

Wu Yongfu looked serious on the surface, but he was actually laughing in his heart.

With Li Cenyuan bidding, he can get the night-shining flower without spending a penny.

When the time comes, he will pick some to make medicine for Li Qingchi, and he will keep the rest for himself!

……

The Lord of the Hidden Network suddenly decided to hold an auction and sent invitations to all major organizations, including Lotus Island.

The auction will be held in Xuanzhou's underground black market.

The black market holds auctions of various sizes throughout the year, with complete facilities and professional auctioneers. The hidden network owner chooses to hold auctions in the black market because of this.

As the manager of the black market, Ji Xianchen was the first to receive the news that the hidden network was holding an auction because they wanted to borrow the venue from him.

Ji Xianchen agreed and returned to Xuanzhou to handle various matters related to the auction.

Not only the black market, the owner of the hidden network also contacted the police and asked them to be responsible for maintaining order at the auction site.

Although the Hidden Web Master did not force everyone to attend the auction, everyone still had to give face to the Hidden Web Master, so even if they had no interest in the items, they would still show up, such as Lotus Island.
