Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xiao Bai!”
Jingfeng saw Gu Xiaonan swiftly run off and hurriedly chased after him.
Feng Tianlan furrowed her brow and walked upstairs.
Xiao Bai disappeared in a flash.
“Xiao Bai, where did you go? Come back quickly!” Gu Xiaonan walked along the corridor of the second floor, her eyes wide open, searching for any trace of Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai was so small and adorable, what if someone kidnapped him?
The auction house had excellent soundproofing, so no one else heard his calls.
As Gu Xiaonan reached the end of the corridor without finding Xiao Bai, he scratched his head. “Strange, where did Xiao Bai go?”
At the end of the corridor was a hallway.
Two burly men stood guard at the entrance.
Politely, Gu Xiaonan asked, “Sir, have you seen a white fox around here?”
The burly men shook their heads. “No.”
Gu Xiaonan glanced at the staircase. “May 1 go up there and look?”
“No, going upstairs is not allowed. Your little fox couldn’t have gone up there. Try looking elsewhere,” one of the men replied.
“Okay,” Gu Xiaonan sighed.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound.
Following the sound, Gu Xiaonan saw a cluster of white fur on the upper stairs.
It was Xiao Bai!
The burly men also heard the fox’s cries and looked up, their expressions slightly changing. “When did this fox get up there? Drive it down quickly.”
One of the men rushed up to chase away the little fox.
Gu Xiaonan anxiously exclaimed, “Don’t hurt Xiao Bai!”
Xiao Bai agilely slipped out of the burly man’s grasp, bouncing and leaping away, disappearing around the corner.
Gu Xiaonan wanted to follow but was stopped by another burly man.
“Kid, you can’t go up there!”
“But my Xiao Bai is up there!”
“It’s fine, my colleague will bring it down in a moment.”
However, Gu Xiaonan waited for a while and Xiao Bai didn’t come down. He looked around and suddenly exclaimed with joy, “Xiao Bai!”
The burly man looked up to the hallway upon hearing his words.
Quickly, Gu Xiaonan pricked him with a needle, then dashed up the stairs.
Feeling a slight sting in his arm, the burly man didn’t pay much attention to it and hurriedly chased after him. “You brat, you can’t go up…”
Taking a step forward, his massive body stumbled and fell.
Gu Xiaonan reached the third floor and saw the burly man approaching while holding Xiao Bai.
“Squeak! Squeak!” Xiao Bai struggled excitedly upon seeing him.
The burly man also noticed Gu Xiaonan and furrowed his brow. “How did you come up? Didn’t that guy stop you?”
“Go! Get down quickly”
The burly man tossed Xiao Bai to Gu Xiaonan and placed his hand on Gu Xiaonan’s back, urging him to descend the stairs.
“Squeak! Squeak!” Xiao Bai extended its little paw, pointing backward.
Young master, I smell your mother’s scent over there!
“What’s over there?”
Gu Xiaonan looked puzzled. Xiao Bai was so excited as if it had discovered something on the third floor. Should he go and check it out?
“Little boy, hurry up,” the guard urged.
Gu Xiaonan obediently nodded.
A smile appeared on the burly man’s face. “Little boy, your fox runs pretty fast.”
That was close. Fie almost couldn’t catch up to it.
Gu Xiaonan’s voice was soft and innocent. “Sir, but you ran even faster.”
The burly man was left speechless.
Was that a compliment?
But comparing himself to a fox, why couldn’t he feel happy about it?
“Sir, what happened to your colleague?” Suddenly, Gu Xiaonan exclaimed.
The burly man looked down and saw his companion lying motionless on the stairs.
In that instant, a sharp pain shot through his side. He glanced downward and witnessed the young boy extracting a needle from his own waist..
