Zhu Yu received the news ten minutes after Brown was shot.
"Are you sure?" Zhu Yu still couldn't believe it. Considering that the previous preparations were relatively long, Zhu Yu felt that this assassination should be delayed for several days, and it would not be successful until the time was right.
But I didn't expect to receive the news that day.
"It's confirmed." Cao Dalong said, "Qin Fei fired two shots above. I was in another building at the time and observed with a telescope that both shots hit Brown. One shot hit Brown in the back and penetrated the chest. However, one shot was shot to the back of the neck, almost breaking his neck into two pieces."
With such an injury, I must not be able to save him even if the King of Heaven comes, right?
"Okay, come back to the villa first. Don't go out for the next two days." Zhu Yu said, "Let Qin Fei bring the gun, and I will handle it then."
Cao Dalong responded and hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, the two returned to the villa, and Qin Fei handed the gun to Zhu Yu.
"This time, it's all thanks to you three." Zhu Yu took the gun upstairs and put it into the space first. When he came back, he had three more bags in his hand.
"So, this is the bonus." Zhu Yu each handed a bag, "One hundred thousand dollars, there is no problem with this money, you can spend it as you like."
"Boss is generous!" Cao Dalong smiled and took the money. "We ended up very smoothly this time. After Brown died, the other party's bodyguard seemed to have lost heart and did not search seriously. When we came back, there was no Tail."
"Those people probably knew that it would be troublesome to find the murderer later, so they simply stopped looking." Zhu Yu guessed.
"But we can't take it lightly," Ran Jie said, "Yesterday when you went out, two masters came over to attack you at night. If the boss hadn't discovered it earlier, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
When he said this, both Cao Dalong and Qin Fei were very surprised. They hurriedly asked about the situation, and Ran Jie explained the situation again.
"Don't worry, this matter should be almost over. Once Brown dies, no one will make things difficult for us anymore." Zhu Yu felt relieved for them.
But obviously, Ran Jie and the others didn't think so. Next, the three of them all lived in the villa, all on the second floor. They took turns keeping watch at night.
The next day, Robert called:
"Zhu, I think you should have got the news. In other words, you should be the maker of this news."
Zhu Yuzhuanghu paint:
"Mr. Robert, I don't know what you are talking about. Can you make it clearer?"
"Of course." Robert refused to acknowledge Zhu Yu and did not continue to ask, but said: "We have found out. The person who secretly attacked you and instigated your subordinates to rebel was the big businessman Brown.
He came up with this idea because of the conflict you had during the treasure hunt. According to the intelligence obtained by my people, Brown once said to his friend, you are a treasure thief who stole billions of dollars worth of gold treasure from him! "
"Nonsense!" Zhu Yu immediately denied, "He is slandering! I was indeed hired by him to help him find treasures.
But after I helped him find the treasure, not only did he not want to give me the 30% I deserved as agreed in advance, he also wanted to kill me and silence me! Fortunately, I am lucky, otherwise I would be a corpse now! "
"But that's not what Brown said." Robert continued to explain, "So he wants to kidnap you and get the whereabouts of those golden treasures from you. This is why he instigated your subordinates to rebel and wanted to kidnap you at the same time... But now He is dead."
This was the first time that Zhu Yu heard the news of Brown's death from someone else. Although he had been mentally prepared, Zhu Yu still said in surprise:
"Really? That's great... Oh, although my happiness is a bit inhumane, this thing is indeed worth being happy about."
"As long as you are happy," Robert said, "After Brown died, there was a problem with the distribution of his property, and his family almost had a fight over the distribution of the property.
Because Brown's death was very sudden and he did not leave a will, the property may be distributed according to legal provisions. Next week, some of Brown's fixed assets will be auctioned..."
"Auction?" Zhu Yu suddenly thought of Bainiao Lake, and he immediately asked:
"Robert, can you get the invitation to the auction?"
"It's okay to try hard. What, are you interested?"
"Of course." Zhu Yu said, "Although Brown is very hostile to me, I don't mind helping him after his death. It's convenient for others and it's convenient for you!"
Hearing what Zhu Yu said, why did Robert feel so weird?
"Okay, I will get the invitation letter tomorrow, and then we will make an appointment to meet. By the way, about the information fee this time..."
"It's yours." Zhu Yu interrupted him, "If there is any left, use it as money to buy the invitation."
"Okay, thank you." Robert said and hung up the phone.
Zhu Yu told Ran Jie and the others about getting the invitation letter for the auction.
"Could it be a trap?" Ran Jie guessed cautiously.
"Probably not." Cao Dalong analyzed, "Brown died suddenly. Property disputes like this should be normal in the United States, right? In addition, there should be an announcement for this auction. We will find out after checking."
Zhu Yu nodded, feeling that this matter could be done.
Although Robert is trustworthy, he is no longer a nobody now, so he still needs to pay attention when it is time to pay attention.
So he handed this matter over to Cao Dalong.
After Cao Dalong checked for two days, he told Zhu Yu the situation.
"This Brown has a son and two daughters, both of whom are adults. He also has an illegitimate son, and a sister who also hopes to get a share of the property. So things are quite messy.
Brown died suddenly, and a group of creditors came to his door.
Those estate sales were pushed by creditors because Brown's cash disappeared after his death. Now the only way to repay the debt is through auctioning real estate. "
Zhu Yu recalled that when Smith introduced Brown to him, he said that he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Although Brown had obtained a new source of property because of him. But I'm afraid he won't use the money to pay off debts——
After all, the company can be liquidated if it goes bankrupt. This Brown should have a relatively strong background. Even if the company goes bankrupt, he can still enjoy a good life.
The next few days were uneventful, with no further attacks.
During this period, Zhu Yu went to the hospital to visit Cathy. He found that Cathy recovered very quickly. Even the doctor said it was a medical miracle——
Patients who come out of the ICU usually need at least one or two months to recover, but Cathy has almost recovered to a level close to normal within a week!
Zhu Yuxin said that this must be the effect of that kind of life energy again.
Cathy didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore, so Zhu Yu went through the discharge procedures for her and took her back to the villa.
Although Cathy wanted to start working as soon as possible, Zhu Yu refused her - Zhu Yu hoped Cathy would rest in the villa for at least half a month before starting work.
Cathy was very moved by such a boss.
On the day of the auction, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie to attend - Cao Dalong and Qin Fei were more sensitive, so they just stayed in the car as drivers.
The auction was held at one of Brown's private estates. When Zhu Yu and the others arrived, many people had already arrived.
Zhu Yu even saw Smith - he came here with an old man wearing a suit and with a serious face.
"Zhu, I really didn't expect to see you here." Smith took the initiative to come over and say hello.
"I didn't expect that, Mr. Smith, did you come here to participate in the auction?"
"No, no, no." Smith shook his head, "I was invited by Mr. Carey to help him determine the authenticity of some items."
Zhu Yu nodded.
Judging from the information learned, this time Brown's estate auction not only includes real estate, but also some cultural relics collected by Brown.
I think Mr. Carey was interested in these things.
After chatting with Smith for a few words, Zhu Yu entered the venue with the invitation letter and found his own place.
No. 43.
This is not a forward position. It can be seen that Robert's energy is not great.
But as long as you have a position, Zhu Yu doesn't want to be too high-profile.
Ten minutes later, the auction begins.
The auctioneer, dressed in a suit, walked to the bidding table and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, before the auction begins, may I propose that we observe a minute's silence in honor of the Honorable Mr. Brown."
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads.
Zhu Yu thought to himself, Brown, just go with peace of mind. I will fulfill your unfulfilled wish for you. I will definitely get the White Bird Lake, and then I will definitely take out the treasure in it!
The silence ended and the auction began under the auspices of the auctioneer.
"The first auction item is a villa located in Beverly Hills. It covers an area of 2,300 square meters and has complete facilities. Please take a look at the photos..."
The auctioneer introduced and then gave the reserve price:
"Fifteen million dollars!"
Zhu Yu thought to himself, this Brown said he was bankrupt, but in fact he owned quite a lot of real estate!
Zhu Yu had heard about Beverly Hills, but because they were not in the same city, Zhu Yu had no plans to buy a house there.
Many people were interested in this villa, and the auction was very lively. The price soon soared to 35 million US dollars, and it is still rising!
"Thirty-eight million U.S. dollars! The auction price on the 39th is thirty-eight million U.S. dollars!"
"Someone raised a sign - No. 41 quoted $40 million, $40 million!"
Zhu Yu turned around and looked at No. 41. He was a fat white man. Sitting next to him was a tall woman comparable to a Victoria's Secret model. She was talking to the fat man in a low and intimate voice.
Zhu Yu could tell that this fat man had photographed the villa for the woman.
It surprised me that.
In the end, this villa was snapped up by No. 19 for US$67 million - this was a guest dressed as a strong woman in a suit, while No. 41 had a look of regret on his face.
Zhu Yu thinks these people are good at acting.
The next auction was for a farm in the suburbs of New York. It covered a large area, but the price was relatively high. Only then did Zhu Yu realize that the farms he owned were quietly appreciating!
What a good thing!
The auction went very quickly, but Zhu Yu was not interested in some of the previous items. It was not until the seventh item came up for auction that Zhu Yu's eyes lit up.
This is a group of items - because Brown left a lot of things behind, so in addition to large amounts of real estate, some antiques with relatively high values valued by experts, oil paintings and the like that are auctioned individually, there are also some items that are auctioned in groups. .
For example, the seventh auction item is a set of wooden statues.
"These statues come from the remote jungles of South America. Anyone with knowledge should be able to tell that the material of these statues is Brazilian rosewood.
There are eight pieces in this group, including a totem pole with strange patterns and seven sacrificial statues of humans and animals.
According to expert research, the age of these statues can be traced back to at least two thousand years ago. The starting price of the auction is one hundred thousand US dollars! "
"Two hundred thousand dollars!" Zhu Yu was the first to raise his sign.
"Two hundred thousand dollars! Guest No. 43 bids two hundred thousand dollars! Is there anyone who offers a higher price? This guest obviously knows the goods..."
The auctioneer said this twice before someone raised his placard:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars! This guest No. 18 bids us two hundred and fifty thousand dollars! Is there any higher bid? Two hundred fifty thousand dollars for the first time..."
"Five million dollars!" Zhu Yu looked at the soft green light emitting from the totem pole and knew that he had to take a photo of this thing!
The energy contained in this thing is no less than that of a big cross!
Even the purity and quality of the energy in it are higher than that of the big cross!
This should be a totem pole from a tribe in the South American jungle, right?
"Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars..."
Guest No. 18 seemed to be interested in quarreling with Zhu Yu, and each time he quoted him, he only quoted $50,000 more than Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu didn't care. At this time, there were other people who thought this thing might be more valuable and started raising signs.
Then the price went up to $1.5 million.
At this time, Zhu Yu continued to raise his sign:
"1.6 million U.S. dollars!" Every time he increased the price after that, he always increased the price by 100,000 U.S. dollars, so it wasn't that eye-catching, but he was more persistent in the eyes of others.
At this time, guest No. 18 turned to look at him, and Zhu Yu discovered that he was actually a Chinese.
The man's eyes held a threatening meaning, but Zhu Yu ignored it at the time.
If you have money, shoot, if you don’t have money, leave. Are you here to scare people?
hehe!
In the end, Zhu Yu bought this set of totems for US$2.1 million. Guest No. 18 turned to look at Zhu Yu again and said something silently.
Zhu Yu could see the mouth shape: Boy, I remember you.
Zhu Yu smiled contemptuously and replied silently:
"Idiot, do you really think you are a person?"
The man was furious, but finally suppressed it, turned his head and said no more.
Zhu Yu still participated in the next auction several times.
He felt that he, including these people present, were like a group of vultures tearing at the fallen elephant carcass, everyone hoping for a piece of the pie.
