My Wife Gets More Vicious The More I Spoil Her

Chapter 11: After eating and drinking enough, it's time to come back and do the work

She pressed the button. "Hello, Duoduo, did you find out anything?"

Xu Duo's overly sweet voice came through the receiver. "Well, darling, I called you to ask what you'd like to eat tonight?"

Lu Haiqiao said with a serious tone. "Get to the point."

Xu Duo: "Curry chicken, braised pork, steamed fish, and lobster salad. Choose one out of four. My treat."

"Get to the point!" Lu Haiqiao emphasized again.

Xu Duo hesitated.

A few seconds later, she said in an extremely sad tone, "I found out that the buyer who bid 8,100 yuan at the last second and the one who kept competing with you came from two different IP addresses."

"In other words, apart from you, two other people are competing over the two paintings."

As expected.

Lu Haiqiao waited for Xu Duo to continue.

But, there was only silence on the other end.

Lu Haiqiao frowned. "That's all?"

Xu Duo replied with a "hmm... That's all."

Lu Haiqiao: "..."

With this level of skill, why bother with the dark web and information networks? Just go home and inherit the family business!

After a few seconds, she thought of something else. "Oh, by the way, I also found out the person competing with you is using an IP address from B City, and it seems to be located in Yue Gang Bay. The other buyer has an overseas IP address and appears to be deliberately concealing the identity, making it hard to trace."

Yue Gang Bay was a residential area occupying four million square meters of prime real estate in a bustling area of B City.

It was owned by the municipal government and was known for its excellent feng shui. It was surrounded by commercial streets, banks, hospitals, and prestigious primary and secondary schools. It was not an exaggeration to refer to it as a place where even the wealthy couldn't afford to live.

Lu Haiqiao pondered for a moment. "Never mind. Continue to investigate the IP address in that slum..."

The person willing to spend that much money to compete with her must have some background.

Perhaps they were also investigating the whereabouts of the two paintings.

Xu Duo's eyes widened.

Slum?

Yue Gang Bay, huh?

She had just bought two houses there not long ago!

"Then the overseas IP..." Xu Duo knew that Lu Haiqiao would never easily give up on those two paintings.

Sure enough, there was a chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Tonight eight o'clock at the usual place. I'll tell you when we meet."

...

When Zhou Nuo walked into the Secret Love Bar, he immediately spotted Xie Xuan sitting in the booth.

This Young Master was in a bad mood today, choosing to stay downstairs in the noisy area instead of the quiet private room on the first floor.

It was close to the dance floor, filled with loud music and noise.

Sitting down next to him, a waiter approached them immediately.

Since he wasn't here to drink, Zhou Nuo casually pointed at something on the drink menu and sent the waiter away.

Xie Xuan rested his head against the sofa and closed his eyes. The deafening DJ music didn't seem to affect him at all.

When the drink was served, Zhou Nuo looked at him and called out, "Brother Xuan."

Just making his presence known.

Xie Xuan responded with a lazy "hmm" as if he had known Zhou Nuo had arrived.

A moment later, taking advantage of a break in music, he said, "Call Big Xie and Second Xie back."

Hearing this, Zhou Nuo, who was about to drink, hesitated.

"But Brother Xuan..."

Xie Xuan ignored him and continued unhurriedly, "It was a bad decision from the beginning to keep them there."

"Like an alcoholic guarding a winery, or a gambler watching over a casino..."

"Heh, no difference with putting two rats in a rice jar?"

Zhou Nuo: ...

Don't worry. No matter how bold these two 'rats' were, they would never dare to cause trouble in your 'rice jar'.

"After eating and drinking enough, it's time to come back and do the work."
