Chapter 63 Counterattack
In the underground library of Tianyuan Book Bar, Liu Xing hid at the door of the secret room, closely watching the situation in the room.

The entire secret room is about 30 square meters. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of internal organs. There are so many things in the room: books, clothes, shoes and socks, antiques, famous watches, mobile phones, calligraphy and paintings, gold, electrical appliances, sporting goods, tools for theft...

There are almost everything for basic necessities of life, there are nearly 400 pieces, large and small.

Liu Xing basically understood that the things in this secret room were all stolen goods, which Tian Xiaoyi had worked so hard to steal from all over the country in the past ten years, which could be regarded as Tian Xiaoyi's hard work.

Tian Xiaoyi was planning to escape from Tianhai City today, so he naturally wanted to take these things away.

At this time, Tian Xiaoyi was directing more than a dozen of his subordinates to pack up the stolen goods to be taken away.

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't you want to take this antique copper book vase with you?" Zhong Shouyuan asked puzzledly, "This vase is from the Southern Dynasties, and it's worth millions!"

Tian Xiaoyi said: "This copper book vase was stolen from the Tianhai City Museum five years ago. It's too easy to cause accidents, so I won't take it away."

Zhong Shouyuan pointed to the bookshelf: "These ancient books must be taken away?"

Tian Xiaoyi shook his head: "These books were stolen from the Nanzhou Book Tomb Exhibition four years ago, they will definitely be recognized as soon as they are brought out. Don't want them all, be careful."

Zhong Shouyuan was speechless for a while, and pointed to another thing in the secret room: "Is this "Ma Xingkong Contemplating the Sea Map" taken away?"

"I would like to take it away, but this painting was stolen from the Dongning Archaeological Research Institute, and the police are still investigating. Am I courting death by taking it out?" Tian Xiaoyi reminded, "Now the Reading League has suspected that the novel There are book coffins buried under the street, and the security of Fiction Street has been strengthened, the search is very strict, and the police force has been strengthened by at least 20 times!"

"20 times?" Zhong Shouyuan frowned, "Is that an exaggeration?"

Tian Xiaoyi's face became a little more serious, and he said solemnly: "Old Zhong, it's not an exaggeration at all, don't take chances. I just came here with a big truck, and the compartment was empty, but when I passed the security checkpoint of Novels Street, it was a full hour. The inspection took half an hour, from the compartment to the bottom of the car, and even the tires, without leaving any dead ends. If I transport the stolen goods out of the secret room now, doesn’t it mean that I will be sent to prison?”

Zhong Shouyuan's face showed a look of horror, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious: "Since the police are so strict, how do you move these things away tonight?"

"I just bring a few things that can be taken away, and I don't want everything else, just treat it as a way to save my life!"

After finishing speaking, Tian Xiaoyi continued to choose the items that could be taken away in the secret room, including a computer, seven pieces of gold, nine calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, more than a dozen famous watches, a pile of brand-name bags, jewelry, etc., a total of more than 80 pieces.

Only about one-fifth of the contents of the Chamber of Secrets were removed.

After picking out the things, more than a dozen subordinates moved the things out of the secret room, Tian Xiaoyi and Zhong Shouyuan also came out, closed the entrance of the secret room, and prepared to leave the underground library.

"Old Zhong, I'm leaving first." Tian Xiaoyi specially reminded, "You sell the Tianyuan Bookstore as soon as possible, and leave the Fiction Street as soon as possible. This is not a place to stay for a long time. As for the things under the bookstore, throw them here Well, it's important to save your life."

Zhong Shouyuan had an extremely complicated expression on his old face, but finally nodded slightly.

After that, they walked out of the underground library together with their things.

After everyone left, Liu Xing, who was hiding in the last row of bookshelves, swept across his body, and landed at the door of the secret room after a distance of more than ten meters.Push away the big red bookshelf in the corner, find the white number keys, and enter the password for the secret room.

He had just seen Zhong Shouyuan enter the password once, and secretly wrote it down.

beep!

With a light sound, cracks appeared on the wall in front of him again, and the entrance to the secret room reopened.

Liu Xing walked into the secret room, and after scanning, there were more than 300 stolen goods in the secret room, including dozens of ancient books and star novels, but there was no book coffin he was looking for.

This secret room is located in the underground library, about 8 meters above the ground, and the book coffin is located 11 meters underground, which means that the book coffin should be about 3 meters below the secret room.

Liu Xing decided to probe again.

Take out the book coffin detection stick from the waist, insert it into the floor of the secret room, press the switch, after the detection stick is activated, ultra-magnetic micro-nano wireless waves are radiated, and begin to propagate towards the bottom of the secret room.

0.5 meters...1 meters...1.5 meters...2 meters...

"Beep beep!"

When the wireless wave penetrated to a position 3 meters below the secret room, the detection stick suddenly sounded an alarm!
The word "3" is displayed on the miniature LCD screen!

"The book coffin is indeed under the secret room!"

Liu Xing was both surprised and delighted. The book coffin was buried about 3 meters below the secret room, which was very close at hand.

This secret room is the territory of Tianyuan Book Bar. It is not convenient for Liu Xing to dig it now, not to mention that he has no tools in hand.

Judging from the current situation, Zhong Shouyuan should transfer the Pastoral Bookstore soon.If the book bar can be bought, Liu Xing can slowly dig out the book coffin in the secret room of the basement.

"We must find a way to buy Pastoral Books."

Liu Xing secretly made a decision. This pastoral bookstore is one of the top ten bookstores in Fiction Street. Although the location is not very good, the transfer price will definitely not be low.

It is conservatively estimated that the transfer price of Tianyuan Book Bar is at least 200 million yuan. If the collection of books in the book bar is included, the price will exceed this price.

Liu Xing now has 90 yuan in his hand. If he really wants to buy Tianyuan Shuba, he needs to raise at least another 110 million yuan.

"Where do you get so much money?"

Liu Xing frowned slightly. This was not a small sum. Looking at the time, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning. He decided to go home first, and then slowly figure out a way to raise money.Putting away the coffin detection stick, his body flashed, turned into a black shadow, and left the secret room quickly.

After a while, he came to the door of Tianyuan Book Bar.

At this time, Tian Xiaoyi was loading more than 80 pieces of stolen goods onto the truck.

"Strange, where are my 8 dogs?" Tian Xiaoyi suddenly found that all the [-] dogs he brought had disappeared when he finished loading the goods.

"Brother Tian, ​​it couldn't be snatched by the shadow man?" the fat man driving the truck reminded.

Hearing this, Tian Xiaoyi couldn't help but tighten his heart. He didn't expect this shadow man to be so greedy and want to grab everything.The first time he snatched his book coffin, and the second time he snatched his book coffin detection stick, even eight big dogs were taken away tonight.

"Fatty, hurry up and drive!"

Tian Xiaoyi jumped on the truck immediately, and decided to flee Tianhai City immediately. If he didn't leave, he might even have his pants stripped off by the shadow man.

When the big red truck was heading north, Liu Xing's figure was speeding in the opposite direction, rushing to his home...

……

The next day, Tianyuan Book Bar launched a promotional activity with a price reduction.With the promotion, the business of Tianyuan Book Bar has boomed, selling more than 7000 books in one day.

Two weeks later, [-]% of the books in the Tianyuan Book Bar had been sold, so Zhong Shouyuan put up a notice board saying "Book Bar Transfer".When the news of the transfer spread, many booksellers in Fiction Street became very interested.

Since there are more than 20 booksellers who want to take over Tianyuan Bookstore, Zhong Shouyuan decided to transfer the bookstore in the form of auction.

In the afternoon of that day, 27 booksellers gathered at the Fiction Street Auction House to participate in the auction of Tianyuan Book Bar, including Liu Xing.

After entering the auction hall, Liu Xing chose a seat in the middle of the first row and sat down.

"Why is Liu Xing here?" Cai Fugui, who was sitting in the third row, said puzzled, "Does this kid also want to bid for pastoral books?"

Jin Abiao, who was seated next to him, said: "When I just came in, I saw Liu Xing filling out the application materials at the front desk."

Cai Fugui smiled and said: "This kid doesn't think that he can buy everything after making a little money, right? Although the two sets of novels "Detective Wang Nan" and "The Strange Case of Detective Wang Nan: Shooting the Carved Book and Coffin" sold well, but Liu Xing only earns 100 million if he dies, doesn’t he think he can buy Tianyuan Books with this money? The price of Tianyuan Books should be around 220 million.”

"I also find it strange that it is impossible for Liu Xing to have so much money." Jin Abiao looked at Liu Xing who was sitting in the first row again, and said, "However, Liu Xing looks very calm and seems very confident. .”

"People with brain problems have confidence in everything." Cai Fugui smiled jokingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will begin immediately."

At this time, the voice of the host sounded at the auction site, "The Tianyuan Book Bar has two floors and an underground library, with a total area of ​​1000 square meters. In addition to the management and ownership of the book bar, today also includes the tables and chairs in the book bar." , bookshelves, furniture, reading equipment, electrical appliances, and the remaining more than 1000 books. According to the evaluation of the expert group, the auction base price of Tianyuan Book Bar is 150 million, and each time the price is increased by at least 5, the auction officially begins.”

"160 million!"

"175 million!"

"180 million!"

……

As soon as the auction started, booksellers started selling one after another, and the auction price rose one after another, and soon exceeded 200 million.

The competitive atmosphere on the scene was even fiercer than expected, and many people seemed bound to win.As prices continued to rise, some booksellers chose to give up one after another.

When the price came to 210 million, half of the 27 booksellers chose to give up;

When the price came to 230 million, there were only 6 bidders left;
When the price came to 250 million, there were only 2 bidders left.

One is Guo Meiyu, the proprietress of Meijiayang Bookstore, and the other is Cai Fugui, the owner of Fugui Bookstore.

"255 million." Guo Meiyu pursed her red lips.

When she called out the price, many booksellers at the scene shook their heads. The price was already 70% higher than the reserve price, which was a bit inflated.If you increase the price further, it will be difficult to get back the cost.

"260 million!"

Cai Fugui frowned slightly, the price was far higher than expected, but he still didn't want to give up.I missed the opportunity of Caiyun Bookstore last time. After waiting for more than half a year, I finally arrived at Tianyuan Bookstore. Cai Fugui didn't want to miss this opportunity again.

"265."

Just when everyone thought the auction was over, Guo Meiyu quietly raised the price again.

"270 million!"

Cai Fugui's eyes revealed a fierce look.

"275."

After a moment of hesitation, Guo Meiyu called out a new bidding price.

Cai Fugui's face suddenly became a little more solemn, he gritted his teeth, and decided to fight again.

"280 million!"

When the price was called out, Cai Fugui's face turned red slightly. This was already the highest price he could offer so far.Recently, Fugui Bookstore is in urgent need of working capital, and 280 million is already his limit!
"I give up." Guo Meiyu shook her head lightly, with a helpless expression on her face, she had tried her best.

Cai Fugui heaved a long sigh of relief, the rain finally cleared, and a gleam of joy finally appeared on his fat face.

"Boss Jin, congratulations, you have successfully taken over Pastoral Books." Jin Abiao congratulated in a low voice.

Cai Fugui smiled, somewhat smug, glanced, pointed to the first row of seats, and said: "Director Jin, I'm not wrong, Liu Xing didn't call the price once today, obviously he has no money in his pocket. This kid is really thick-skinned, since he has no money, he dares to sit in such a conspicuous seat in the first row..."

"300 million!"

Just halfway through Cai Fugui's words, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

All the booksellers turned their heads one after another, looked towards the middle of the first row, and found that the person who raised the price was a young man, none other than Liu Xing.
