The opening auction of Yan's Auction House will last for five days. The first day is the opening ceremony and the preview of the collection. The venue is the state-level banquet hall of the Huangjin Hotel.

People from all walks of life dressed up to attend, and Yan Zonglang and Shu Qingmo entertained them one by one.

The shareholders of Shishishan who thought that Shu Qingmo was just Yan Zonglang's bed partner, saw that they were wearing engagement rings on their middle fingers, and knew that Boss Yan was serious this time.

It was the first time that Shu Qingmo officially appeared in the public eye as Yan Zonglang's partner, and there were even related reports on the Internet, adding fire to the opening of the auction house.

After the song and dance performance and the ribbon-cutting ceremony were successfully completed according to the procedures, Shu Qingmo finally took the time to chat with Luo Zihang about the current situation.

"Why didn't Auntie come today?"

Shu Qingmo sent an invitation letter to Du Wensheng, and Du Wensheng brought his grandson Du Yuyun and assistant Luo Zihang to the banquet.

Originally, Shu Qingmo thought that Luo Zihang would take this opportunity to arrange a meeting between the two parents, but unexpectedly, Luo Jiahui never came.

"I didn't let her come." Luo Zihang breathed out, glanced in the direction of Du Wensheng and Du Yuyun, and asked Shu Qingmo, "Go to the balcony to get some fresh air?"

"Okay." Shu Qingmo said.

There are strict security checks outside the banquet hall, and no one without an invitation letter is allowed to enter.

The two passed through the security gate and came to a corner of the spacious aisle. Luo Zihang immediately drooped his shoulders and said mournfully, "I've been under a lot of pressure recently."

Shu Qingmo asked: "Are you busy with work?"

"No." Luo Zihang shook his head, "Old Du found out about me and Xiao Yu, he doesn't seem very satisfied with me."

Shu Qingmo asked in surprise: "How?"

"Think about it, Xiaoyu was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, graduated from a famous university, and has strong working ability..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Shu Qingmo said, "I know that your Xiao Yu is excellent, but I'm asking why Mr. Du is not satisfied with you?"

"He asked me to make achievements within three years." Luo Zihang said with a look of lovelessness, "What achievements can my little assistant make? He is clearly trying to persuade me to quit."

"That's it?" Shu Qingmo asked amusedly, "Mr. Du made a request for you, and you think he is dissatisfied with you?"

"Otherwise?" Luo Zihang scratched the back of his neck, "I'm not good enough for Xiao Yu."

"Luo Zihang, your mentality is not right." Shu Qingmo said, "I think you are overly suggestive of yourself? You always feel that you are not worthy, so you subconsciously feel that others think the same."

"But," Luo Zihang said with a worried face, "what do you think I can achieve?"

"If Mr. Du was always making things difficult for you, then he wouldn't give you three years." Shu Qingmo said, "If it were me, I'd give you three months, and leave if you don't get results. How is that possible? And brought you to such an important banquet?"

This opening ceremony invited many well-known artists, just like Yan Zonglang showed his face with Shu Qingmo, Du Wensheng showed his face with Du Yujun and Luo Zihang, apparently treating Luo Zihang as his own.

"It seems to make sense." Luo Zihang nodded thoughtfully.

"It's normal to worry about gains and losses, and I was the same way back then." Shu Qingmo continued to comfort her, "The main thing is to see if your mentality is stable."

"Are you also worrying about gain and loss?" Luo Zihang's attention was attracted by this topic, "Could it be that you also feel that you are not good enough for Boss Yan?"

"No, it's because he thinks I'm not good enough for him." Shu Qingmo deliberately made the relationship between him and Yan Zonglang easy for Luo Zihang to understand, "He thinks I'm too weak to be by his side, so he mentioned it to me. Lots of demands."

"Requirement?" Luo Zihang asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, forcing me to stay in the hanging swimming pool, asking me to go climbing early in the morning, and not showing the pain of my wounds... There are too many, too many to count." Shu Qingmo said, "Anyway, I know one thing, he is I hope that I will grow up to ask me, not to persuade me to quit."

"So you mean that Elder Du also wants me to grow up?" Luo Zihang asked.

"I think so." Shu Qingmo said, "Mr. Yan hit me the worst, and I almost wanted to give up being a salted fish completely. But I finally adjusted my mentality and concentrated on developing my career. Then guess what? ?”

"What's the matter?" Luo Zihang cooperated.

Shu Qingmo showed the walking posture with her index finger and middle finger, smiled and said, "He walked towards me by himself."

"So that's how it is." Luo Zihang said, "I understand, you have come to the end of all hardships."

"The first few months were really hard." Shu Qingmo said with emotion, "but now it's fine, everything is developing steadily."

"Why do I feel that you seem to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes?" Luo Zihang suddenly began to talk poorly, indicating that Shu Qingmo's consolation had an effect, "Tsk tsk, when you are with older people, even the vitality of young people is gone."

Shu Qing raised her eyebrows at the end: "If you speak ill of my husband again, I will lose my face."

"It's worth it." Luo Zihang twitched the corners of his mouth, "The water splashed by the married young man is no joke."

Shu Qingmo and Luo Zihang teased a few more words, and then they planned to return to the banquet hall.

Before going through the security gate again, Shu Qingmo thought about going to relieve herself, so she said hello to Luo Zihang, and walked towards the bathroom alone.

The restrooms closest to the Ballroom are located on the corner of the entire floor next to the fire escape stairs.As soon as Shu Qingmo entered, he found two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, leaning against the window and smoking.

When the two saw Shu Qingmo, their movements visibly paused.

Shu Qingmo also found it strange, he didn't intend to discriminate, but judging by the sloppy attire of these two people, they really didn't seem like guests who would appear in the Huangjin Hotel.In addition, there is a smoking area in the aisle outside, and you go to the bathroom to smoke, and you still throw cigarette butts at your feet, which is actually quite unqualified behavior.

Shu Qingmo didn't have the habit of meddling in other people's business, even though he felt strange in his heart, he quickly untied his hands and left the bathroom.

To return to the banquet hall, you need to pass the fire escape stairs. Just as Shu Qingmo walked to the heavy fire door, there was a sudden sound of unusually tight footsteps behind him.

The footsteps sounded like they were deliberately suppressing the movement, but they were so anxious that they had to make a rustling sound.

Shu Qingmo subconsciously wanted to look back, but before he turned his head away, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, covering his mouth and nose.

Holding a white cloth tightly in his hand, Shu Qingmo held his breath and struggled for a few times, but the surging suffocation forced him to take a deep breath.As a result, this moment, he immediately lost consciousness.

In my memory, it should be a remote cabin in the woods.

Shu Qingmo could hear the chirping of birds and the sound of flapping wings, other than that, it was so quiet that it seemed to be isolated from the world.

His eyes were covered with a black cloth, so he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. His hands and feet were bound and he fell to the ground unable to move.

There were two young men in the hut, they spoke with a thick accent, and swear words popped out of their mouths from time to time, making Shu Qingmo quiet.

The windows seemed to have the curtains drawn all the time, and the light in the room was very dim.Shu Qingmo couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and he was only accompanied by deep hunger and fear.

The two men would occasionally feed Shu Qingmo a few sips of water, but it couldn't satisfy her hunger at all.Shu Qingmo's consciousness gradually began to blur, and despair gradually enveloped him.

After an unknown amount of time, sirens sounded endlessly outside the house.

Shu Qingmo felt that someone had untied his hands and feet, but what followed was a sharp pain in his right hand.

"Kid, do you remember what happened?"

"Did you see the kidnapper's face clearly?"

"It's okay if you don't remember, you can try to recall the details."

Shu Qingmo's memory was very vague, the police came to visit him in the hospital several times, but he couldn't remember any more details.

As time passed, even the details that were originally remembered gradually paled.Subconsciously, Shu Qingmo was unwilling to recall that incident, so this memory seemed to be stored in a wooden box in his mind, and he would never open it easily.

But now, the airtight wooden box showed signs of reopening.

The pain in the back caused Shu Qingmo to open his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eyes were a few familiar metal railings.

He immediately realized that he was lying in the corridor and hadn't left Huangjin Building yet.But at the same time, he also found two panting men standing beside him.

The sky filled with fear came from all directions like a conditioned reflex, Shu Qingmo subconsciously wanted to run away, but his body didn't listen, obviously the drug hadn't passed.

He lay stiff on the cold ground, and closed his eyes anyway.

A man's voice sounded above his head: "Fuck, why is it so heavy?"

Another man replied: "Did you fucking think it was that kid back then? Just grab it and run away."

Shu Qingmo's nerves tensed suddenly, the familiar accent awakened his sleeping memory, and he suddenly realized that the two middle-aged men beside him at this time were the two young men who had kidnapped him.

But why?

Why did these two people kidnap him again?

"It's not that you insist on coming to the 60th floor to arrest people, I can't walk anymore."

"If you don't go here, where can you catch him? He always takes a bodyguard with him when he goes out. Do you have the ability to knock that bodyguard unconscious?"

Shu Qingmo's back hurt terribly on the steps, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

The two kidnappers obviously knew that he would attend the opening ceremony of the auction house today, so they came here to hide in the bathroom to try their luck.

They didn't dare to use the elevator to transport Shu Qingmo away, so they could only take him up the stairs of the fire escape with no one there.However, the banquet hall is located on the 68th floor, and it is exhausting to walk down, let alone a living person weighing tens of kilograms.

"Don't take a break, get up and carry someone, maybe you will be caught when the security finds out."

"Why the hell don't you recite it? Just let me recite it."

"Isn't there something wrong with my waist?"

"I'm in my 40s too, okay? You're such a fart!"

The more Shu Qingmo listened, the more he felt strange. These two kidnappers were obviously not as good as they were back then. Why did they still want to kidnap him so persistently?

"Can't you just let him go down, damn it."

One of the men complained, but picked up Shu Qingmo again.

"Use your brain, what if you crash to death?"

"This employer really has a lot of troubles. If you cut off your hand, you will cut off your hand. It still insists on pretending to be kidnapping."

When Shu Qingmo heard this, she almost couldn't control the expression on her face.

Who else in this world would want to break his hand?The answer is obvious.

When the police were investigating more than ten years ago, the Shu family's nanny Wang once said that someone had asked her who the Shu family's most favored child was at the vegetable market, and she replied the third young master.

For so many years, everyone thought that the target of the kidnappers was the most favored child of the Shu family. No one thought that the kidnapping was originally a premeditated act aimed at Shu Qingmo.

The disappearing memory came back instantly at this moment, and the conversation between the two men in the hut before they left suddenly appeared in Shu Qingmo's mind.

"How do you do it, beat it with a stick?"

"You can't just thug, you can hit a few more times in other places, what should you do if you beat someone to death for such a young child?"

"Then what do you use? You don't have to fight."

"Try kicking with your feet to control the strength."

The two men stepped on Shu Qingmo's right hand a few times, then kicked him a few times, and then left the hut gracefully.

Shu Qingmo passed out due to the excruciating pain, and when she woke up, it was time for the police to find her.

"Just break his left hand right here, I really can't move my back."

"Didn't you listen to the employer's advice to be natural? What do you mean by carrying him up to the [-]th floor and beating him up?"

"That's why I said just wait, you insisted that now is the time to do it."

This time, the two men came to interrupt his left hand.

Shu Qingmo was so angry that the veins on his neck were bulging, but he still couldn't move his body.

He also didn't know whether the two kidnappers hadn't calculated the amount of drug used, which caused him to wake up early.Given that the two men hadn't made a specific plan for the kidnapping in advance, he thought it was very likely.

But what's the use of him just waking up?

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the ground floor, the two only needed to take him to the parking lot, and then they could drive him away.

Shu Qingmo was extremely anxious, he longed for someone to come to the fire exit at this time, but he also knew that there was little hope.

But at this moment, he heard a ferocious dog bark resounding through the corridor...

It's over tomorrow, bad guys won't end well
