Die with the boss [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 33 The Shape of Water

Elvis asked back in astonishment, "Edward Rogers? Did he say that himself?"

The waiter replied respectfully: "Yes, sir."

"Why did he come here..." A trace of panic flashed in Elvis' eyes, he looked back at the hot auction, but he was still reluctant to leave after all, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Bring him here."

The waiter bowed and said yes.

A few minutes later, the door of the box was opened again, and a tall Asian young man walked in.

The young man was wearing a khaki short-sleeved shirt, dark brown trousers, and casual moccasins. Under the neatly combed short hair, there was a fair and handsome face with slender eyebrows and a high nose bridge. He looked like a refined scholar.

Elvis stood up and asked unnaturally, "Eddie, why are you here?"

Edward walked to the observation deck of the box, opened the scarlet velvet curtain, and looked at the huge water tank in the center of the stage.

He raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the stage, with a warm and pleasant voice: "Are you still bidding? Al, it's already 50 now."

"What?" Elvis turned his head hastily, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a square towel.

He only brought 100 million today, which is already all the funds he can use at the moment!

Edward walked over, and the two were so close that Elvis could smell the faint smell of cigarettes and the faint smell of cologne on his body.

Elvis's heart tightened slightly, and then his face turned cold.

Edward took off his mask and put it on his own, and picked up the number plate on the table.

"200."

In a trance, Luo Cheng thought he had fallen into the deep sea, opened his eyes suddenly and sat up, amidst the sound of "crashing" water, he found that he was just lying in a bathtub full of water.

He wiped the foam and water off his face, and strange memories came flooding back.

The body he is using now is called Lin Zhe, a Chinese, 27 years old, his parents are Chinese laborers, who died unexpectedly when he was a child, and was adopted by the Rogris family when he was six years old, and his name was changed to Edward Rogris.The Rogeris family treated him well and offered him a Ph.D. in biology all the way. Now Lin Zhe works in a research institute jointly run by the Rogeris family and the government.

Without the system, it would be inconvenient. Luo Cheng rubbed his painful temples, turned on the shower to rinse off the foam on his body, dried his body, put on a bathrobe, shaved his beard, and took good care of himself.

The summer in DC is not too hot, the fan in the bedroom blows a cool breeze, Luo Cheng sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and relaxed for a while.

Today will be the first day he meets Si Chen.To be more precise, Si Chen is still in his mother's stomach.

Luo Cheng also couldn't figure out why the teleportation time was so early this time—was it for him to nip the evil in the bud?

After smoking a cigarette, Luo Cheng got up and changed his clothes after checking that the time was almost up. When he went out, he happened to bump into the housekeeper of the Rogeris family.

The butler bowed and asked, "Master, are you going out now?"

While adjusting the strap, Luo Cheng asked seemingly unintentionally: "It's just the first day of summer vacation, where did Al go?"

Except for Lin Zhe, who has been studying abroad for a long time, everyone in the family knows about Elvis's little "hobby" of collecting, and this young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world spends a lot of money, which can be called spending money like water.The parents who doted on their young son did not stop this, but they still felt bald every time they faced the sky-high bills that came like snowflakes.

The butler actually didn't approve of Elvis frequenting the underground auction venue, and hoped that Lin Zhe could persuade him, so he replied cryptically, "Master Elvis is going to visit his alma mater, do you want to go too?"

Luo Cheng took out another cigarette and lit it, nodded and said, "Go and have a look."

The butler nodded: "I'll arrange a car right now."

The underground auction site was tightly guarded, and it took a lot of effort for Luo Cheng to get someone to send a message in. By the time he walked into the box where Elvis was, the auction had already reached a fever pitch.

Facing the elder brother who was raiding, a brown-haired young man who was caught was embarrassed, but he saw that the upright and self-reliant elder brother held up the number plate without hesitation, and his posture was very skillful, and he opened his mouth and shouted 200 million!

Elvis, who had seen too many big scenes, couldn't help but his mind went blank, and the audience was even more uproar-it was the first time they met, someone directly raised the price from 50 to 200 million!

Elvis' voice trembled: "Brother...Brother, I don't have that much money..."

200 million US dollars, that's the annual income of the Rogeris family, not to mention that he doesn't have that much money, but he has it. If he is thrown out like this, his father can beat him to death two hundred times!

Luo Cheng put the number plate back on the table, and smiled leisurely: "Don't you want her?"

Elvis replied stammeringly: "I think it's... I thought about it."

"That's it." Luo Cheng sat back to the seat he was sitting on just now, "Don't worry, there shouldn't be anyone with a higher bid than us."

The master of ceremonies was shouting: "200 million for the first time... 200 million for the second time... 200 million—"

A voice came from another box: "250 million!"

Elvis covered his jaw that was almost dislocated: "...Eddie, didn't you say..."

Luo Cheng coughed awkwardly: "Occasionally, occasionally there will be some special circumstances."

After finishing speaking, he calmly raised the number plate and said in a smooth voice, "500 million."

Elvis couldn't maintain his aristocratic demeanor at all, and cried out: "500 million? God, you're crazy!"

"500 million for the first time—"

Luo Cheng turned his head and asked him, "How much money can you make at most?"

Elvis wiped his sweat furiously, and said with difficulty: "I only have 100 million, and if I sell some stocks and real estate...about 200 million?"

"500 million for the second time—"

Luo Cheng squinted his eyes: "200 million?"

Elvis's exquisite and beautiful face was completely wrinkled together, and he said without tears: "... 300 million, no more!"

"500 million for the third time—"

Luo Cheng nodded: "That's almost enough."

"Anywhere is enough!" Elvis said frantically, "What should I do with the other 200 million!"

"Deal! Congratulations to buyer No. 17, who won the fourth lot, a precious mermaid from Donghua Xiahai!"

Elvis slumped on the sofa limply, repeating with blank eyes: "I'm done, we're done, Eddie, we're completely done..."

Ten minutes later, the staff of the auction brought the "Confirmation of Auction Transaction". Under the threat of Luo Cheng's eyes, Elvis pretended to be calm and signed his name with trembling hands.

According to the contract, they need to pay a 50% deposit on the spot and pay all the money within one week.

Elvis pressed the sweat from his forehead with a kerchief, and under the gaze of the auctioneer's smile, the reserved smile on the corner of his mouth began to froze.

Then, he saw his brother calmly took out the checkbook from his pocket and wrote 300 million on it.

Elvis: "?!!"

Walking out of the underground auction house, he was still full of disbelief: "Eddie, where did you get the 300 million? Dad gave it to you?"

Luo Cheng opened the door of the car, let him sit in first, and then got into the car by himself, "No, this is the project funding given to me by the research institute."

"Project funds?" Elvis was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and then indignantly, "You used your research funds to buy that mermaid? Eddie, what do you think? You...you don't mean to buy her Take it back to the laboratory for research? If I remember correctly, your laboratory is for researching chemical weapons!"

Luo Cheng knew that with Elvis' personality, he would never agree to send that beautiful mermaid to the evolutionary weapon laboratory, so he said, "Of course not, she belongs to you."

All I want is Ba Liao, the cub in her womb.

Elvis asked strangely: "Then why did you buy her for me with research funding?"

Luo Cheng smiled: "I just need some accessories, don't worry, it will never hurt your mermaid doll."

Elvis' skin was very fair, and his face instantly turned red.

A week later, Elvis sold some of his assets without telling his parents. After paying off the auction price and commission, someone secretly transported the mermaid to his small villa specially used for storing collections.

On the day the mermaid was transported to the villa, he also called Luo Cheng to go with him.

The mermaid was placed in the basement of the villa, and Elvis also specially built a transparent pool for her, planted aquatic plants in it, and filled it with natural seawater brought in by air.

The mermaid girl didn't hide away after entering the pool, she lay on the edge of the pool, looking at them sadly with her beautiful silver eyes.

The girl spoke with an ethereal voice like fairy music: "You two gentlemen, please let me go home. I have pearls and gems. As long as you let me go back to the sea, I can give you anything."

She spoke Chinese, and Elvis was stunned when he heard it, and subconsciously asked his brother for help: "Eddie, what is she talking about?"

Luo Cheng squatted down and looked at her, and softly comforted him: "Don't worry, we will never hurt you."

Tears flickered in the eyes of the mermaid girl, and she choked up and said, "I want to go home, I just want to go home."

"I can help you go home." Luo Cheng's words made the girl's face brighten with hope, but the next sentence made her fall into deeper despair.

His voice was like a demon bewitching travelers to their deaths: "—so, would you offer your child in exchange?"

The girl subconsciously covered her lower abdomen: "How do you know..."

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand to hold her face, "Are you willing?"

The mermaid girl began to cry, and the bright tears turned into warm pearls as soon as they left her eyes, falling into the water one by one.

Even when she was crying, she was as beautiful as a painting.

Elvis came over anxiously and pulled him away: "Eddie, what are you talking about, she's crying!"

Luo Cheng let Elvis pull himself away, and said calmly: "She asked me if I could put her back in the sea, and when I said no, she cried."

Elvis paused, and let go of his hands.

"Son..."

Luo Cheng turned around, saw the mermaid girl bit her lip, and said timidly: "I, I am willing to exchange with you."
