Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

Feng Tianci nodded. As long as the old man was happy, the rest was not really important. After Feng Tianci nodded, the old man had a smile on his face.

They quickly bought a few more items, and once they had bought everything, the auction manager came over in person to collect the money.

They bought quite a lot of things this time. After Feng Tianci finished paying, he was about to accept the goods and leave with the old man when the manager came over.

"Sir, you bid on that bead earlier and drove the price up so high that you've probably offended some people. Considering how many items you bid on this time, our auction house would like to kindly remind you to be careful later. We wonder if you need bodyguards, sir? If so, our auction house can provide them all."

The manager knew that among all the items they were bidding on this time, some of which were purchased by Bi Youlong at high prices, and Feng Tianci's contribution was undoubtedly significant in this regard.

Feng Tianci knew why the butler had come to thank him, but he didn't mean it. It was just that Bi Youlong was always very hypocritical when it came to doing charity.

This resulted in some charity prices appearing to have been paid, but in reality, the money hadn't actually been paid out. Feng Tianci's purpose this time was simply to get the other party to make up for the previous payments.

"It's nothing. If he wants to make a move against me, I have plenty of people on my side. I don't need your auction house to get involved. Besides, your auction house has always been fair and impartial. If you get involved this time, it will make things difficult for your auction house as well."

Feng Tianci understood the auction house's actions, which made the manager grateful, as the auction house had indeed always maintained a neutral stance.

If they help even one person and others find out, their auction will inevitably be condemned by everyone, and doing business in the future will certainly not be so easy.

Today, besides Feng Tianci's influence, the old man's influence is also a factor. Because the old man's business is extremely large, their auction house conducts thorough investigations of everyone who enters.

Once a big shot is involved, they will definitely try to protect the big shot's safety. If the big shot's safety cannot be guaranteed due to their auction's mistakes, then their auction will definitely have to stop.

"Then I wish you and the old man a safe journey. If the old man has time, he is welcome to visit our auction house. Our boss said that we have many exceptional treasures here, and if the old man likes any, he can give him one or two."

Although the auction was very successful, their auction house's influence was ultimately inferior to that of the old man. If they could deepen their communication with the old man and gain his protection, then their auction house would never have to worry about anything again.

In truth, the old man knew what people were thinking when they gave him this treasure—it was simply to show the outside world that he had a close relationship with the auction house.

When others try to disrupt the auction, they will naturally consider the consequences.

“If I have time, I’ll come over for a visit, but I have to go home with my grandson now. I think if your auction needs anything, you can come and find me anytime.”

Since they had already made their suggestion, how could the old man refuse? Besides, this time they even came over to remind their grandson to be careful.

Having won the old man's favor, they quickly returned with their belongings. Sure enough, they encountered many people following them along the way, but Feng Tianci, with the old man by his side, managed to shake them off.

"It seems you and he have a deep-seated grudge, and even though you've been out for so long, they're still following you. They won't let you go." The old man was also helpless. No matter where his grandson went, he would become the focus of attention. But he had reminded his grandson for a long time not to offend too many people in this matter.

But this guy still managed to offend everyone.

"It's alright, Grandpa. I know I might offend some people, but it's okay. I still have you here to protect me, right? If they dare to hurt me, you'll be by my side and protect me at all times."

After Feng Tianci finished speaking, he smelled blood and quickly led the old man inside. Inside, Xia Liuqing was lying on the bed, barely alive, while Mei Jinfeng was cleaning his wounds.

"What happened? Weren't you staying at home? How did you get injured? I already told Uncle Xia before that all operations should be handled by the subordinates. Why did he still take action personally? We also contacted some organizations for those previous missions."

Feng Tianci didn't understand. Mei Jinfeng was wiping away tears, but fortunately the wound wasn't deep.

“I told him not to participate in those missions, but he said he didn’t trust the people below to do things and insisted on going to see for himself. He not only went there, but he also got injured. He’s too stubborn.”

"I've already cleaned his wounds. Don't worry about the rest. I'll do my best to control his injuries. He deserves it."

Mei Jinfeng cursed angrily, saying that they should at least pay attention to their own safety, but instead they didn't care at all and put even more pressure on them.

When faced with Mei Jinfeng's angry tone, Xia Liuqing knew in his heart that he had made a mistake this time, and he also felt that his subordinates were sometimes too reckless in their work. He just went over to check on the progress of the task.

"It's nothing, just some superficial injuries. One of the missions is to go to a cold and harsh place. I was worried that they might be careless. The most important thing is that the medicinal herbs obtained from this mission will be useful to your mother-in-law, so I have to check on her myself."

Mei Jinfeng's injuries had already healed, so whether or not there were medicinal herbs was not important.

However, Xia Liuqing was so heartbroken that Feng Tianci felt grateful and asked Mei Jinfeng to help him heal his wounds first.

Then Feng Tianci took out some more valuable medicinal herbs.

"Mother-in-law, please use all these medicinal herbs on him. At least this way, it will speed up the healing of his wounds. Uncle Xia has suffered many injuries while following us all these years. If these wounds are not properly cared for, they will definitely recur in the future."

Reminded by Feng Tianci, Mei Jinfeng realized that this was indeed the case; if the dog wasn't cared for properly, there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

"Don't worry, you and your grandfather go and rest first. I'll prepare the medicine for him. Once the wound has healed, I'll have someone go and let you know. You've both been busy with the auction these past few days, and I haven't had a chance to go see him because of my subordinates' work. I'll have to trouble you a bit, especially with Bi Youlong; you need to be careful." (End of Chapter)
