Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2121: Chapter 2121: Return to London Again

Ruan Tianling seemed as if he hadn’t heard her, saying, “We’ve already found it, how could it be missing? Why would it be missing?!”

“Maybe it got lost on the mountain.”

Ruan Tianling said angrily, “I told them, where the people are, the item must be! Even if it costs their lives, they must protect the snow lotus! If it was really lost because of them, I won’t give them a penny!”

Jian Yufei couldn’t help but smile.

Ruan Tianling’s temper had improved a lot; in the past, he would have directly said he’d take their lives.

Now he just said he wouldn’t pay, showing significant progress.

Jian Yufei gently patted his chest to comfort him, “Don’t worry. Let’s wait until they wake up and see what they have to say. There might be some hidden circumstances.”

…

After a night’s rest, a few of the climbers had recovered quite a bit.

Ruan Tianling was the first to ask them about the situation.

The captain of the first team answered him in a low voice, “We found the snow lotus at the time, but another group followed us. We discovered the snow lotus first, but they had weapons. They took the snow lotus and destroyed our communication equipment.”

Destroying the communication equipment was to prevent them from sending out messages, giving the other group plenty of time to leave.

Ruan Tianling’s eyes were sharp, “Who are they?”

“I asked them, but they wouldn’t say. But I told them, the snow lotus is very important to us, it’s to save a life, and I asked them how much they’d want, willing to pay any amount if they’d give us the snow lotus. They believed what I said and eventually revealed one piece of information, which is that the snow lotus is going to be auctioned at a place called St. Ann something, and if we really need the snow lotus, we should go buy it ourselves.”

“St. Ann Hall?” Ruan Tianling said aloud.

The captain nodded vigorously, “Yes, St. Ann Hall!”

Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling’s faces immediately turned grave.

St. Ann Hall is an asset of the Nangong Family.

They did not want to return to London, as going back would mean Nangong Xu’s attention would be on them again.

So attending the snow lotus auction would likely involve significant risks.

…

Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling returned to their room.

Jian Yufei couldn’t help but ask him, “What do we do, do we have to attend the auction?”

Ruan Tianling knew what she was worried about.

He hugged her and said with a smile, “Of course we have to go, how else would we get the snow lotus?”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, we’ll disguise ourselves and slip into London without showing our true faces.”

“It still feels a bit risky, why not let someone else help us buy it?”

Ruan Tianling shook his head, “I have to go personally, we can’t afford any mistakes. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this.”

“Then I’ll go with you, I’m worried about you too,” Jian Yufei quickly said.

“Okay, we’ll go together.”

Ruan Tianling did not object.

Actually, he wouldn’t feel at ease without her by his side either.

…

Hua Zhongsheng had lived in London for a few years, and he was very familiar with the city.

However, he’d never heard of St. Ann Hall before.

Jian Yufei explained to him, “St. Ann Hall is a large underground auction house, where the sellers set the prices themselves; whoever grabs it first gets it.”

“No bidding on the prices?”

“No. The sellers decide the prices.”

Hua Zhongsheng laughed, “That place sounds interesting, I’d like to see it too.”

Jian Yufei happily asked, “Uncle Fool, are you also going with us?”
