"Isn't that President Yang? What a coincidence, you're here too!"
Hearing the voice, Yang Huilan's expression stiffened slightly, and she looked at Li Gang in surprise.
"No way?" she whispered, "He actually saw me."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Since it's already like this, just do what you have to do."
Yang Huilan huffed irritably, then forced a smile.
She said to Li Gang, who was approaching, "Sect Leader Li, you're here too, what a coincidence!"
Li Gang's gaze towards Yang Huilan was entirely different from his gaze towards others.
His eyes roamed over Yang Huilan, filled with ill intent.
He smiled and said, "President Yang, are you here for the auction as well?"
"A beautiful woman like you coming here truly makes this place shine!"
Yang Huilan's lips twitched slightly as she replied with a smile, "Sect Leader Liu is too kind. I was invited, so I came. I'm just here to pass the time."
Li Gang continued to smile, "Is that so? What a coincidence."
"I'm also here to pass the time. It seems we truly have a connection, haha!"
Li Gang's self-absorbed manner made Yang Huilan even more uncomfortable.
She didn't want to chatter aimlessly with Li Gang, so she said, "Well... Sect Leader Li, I need to greet some acquaintances, so I won't keep you company any longer."
She intended to use this as an opportunity to disengage, but Li Gang said, "Don't go, President Yang. We haven't even spoken a few words yet, why are you leaving?"
"Those are all acquaintances anyway, it doesn't matter if you greet them or not. You should stay and chat with me a bit longer."
"Where is your seat? I'll switch seats and sit with you later."
"That way, we can discuss the treasures on stage, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Huilan's heart clenched slightly.
She shook her head and said, "Perhaps that's not necessary. The seats are already arranged, how can we change them privately?"
"Sect Leader Li, I really need to go greet people now, so let's end our conversation here. We can talk again another time."
After speaking, Yang Huilan tried to leave again.
But to her surprise, Li Gang's tone suddenly turned somber.
He said, "President Yang, what do you mean by this?"
"I see you're eager to get away from me."
"If I've done something wrong in the past, you should just tell me directly. It's not good to be so evasive, is it?"
Yang Huilan's expression became even more rigid.
She forced a smile and said, "Sect Leader Li, what are you saying? You are a hero and a sect leader, everyone respects you. How could I possibly have any objections to you?"
"Oh really?" Li Gang chuckled sinisterly, "If that's the case, then what's the problem with you sitting with me and chatting?"
"President Yang, you don't know, ever since we parted last time, I've been thinking of you. You mustn't disappoint me!"
As he spoke, Li Gang reached out and touched Yang Huilan.
Yang Huilan quickly took a step back.
She said somewhat awkwardly, "Sect Leader Li, please don't do that."
Li Gang said, "What's wrong, I can't even touch you?"
"Then you do have an issue with me!"
"I've already said, if you have any objections, you should just say them. There's no need to play these games, it's meaningless, you know?"
At this moment, Yang Huilan's feelings were utterly terrible.
With her temperament, she would have slapped him long ago if faced with such a situation.
But this time, facing Li Gang, she really couldn't make a move.
After all, Li Gang's status was extraordinary, and if it really came down to it, her Chengfeng Pawnshop was no match for the Kuangjian Sect.
If she truly offended the Kuangjian Sect, it would not be a good thing.
So, despite her inner displeasure, she could only force a smile and say, "Sect Leader Li, you've misunderstood me. I was just startled."
"After all, I am a woman, so it's normal for me to be scared by such actions, isn't it?"
Li Gang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? You should be afraid of bad people."
"But what am I? I'm a good person, how can you be afraid of a good person?"
"Stop talking so much to me. Listen to me, and sit with me later."
"With my abilities, no one would dare refuse to switch seats with me."
"After we finish the auction, we'll go out and have fun for a couple of days. Rest assured, I'll make sure you're comfortable during these two days..."
Li Gang became more and more unrestrained as he spoke.
At the same time, he reached out again and touched Yang Huilan's exposed leg.
Such behavior could already be considered a crime.
Yang Huilan was both anxious and frightened, and the awkwardness on her face and in her heart grew more intense.
Meanwhile, Li Gang's smile became increasingly lewd.
He knew that as long as he touched Yang Huilan's leg today, it would be much easier to do other things later.
He had been coveting Yang Huilan's body for a long time.
Since fate had delivered Yang Huilan into his hands today, he would not be polite!
Just as his wicked thoughts were expanding infinitely, suddenly, his smile froze on his face.
Immediately after, he heard a cold voice: "Doing this in broad daylight, aren't you ashamed?"
Yang Huilan was also stunned. She looked down and saw that it was Wu Tian who had grabbed Li Gang's wrist.
Li Gang's expression immediately turned sinister.
He frowned, looking at Wu Tian, and said, "Kid, what business is it of yours? Why are you meddling so much?"
Wu Tian smiled coldly, "Why shouldn't I? This is a public place, and your actions that violate public order and good morals should be stopped."
"Otherwise, what justice would there be in this world?"
Li Gang yanked his hand away, then looked at Yang Huilan with displeasure and said, "President Yang, what's with your assistant?"
"Why is he so clueless? Doesn't he know who I am?"
"I'm very displeased with him right now. Why don't you educate him for me? Otherwise, if I educate him, things might not turn out so well."
"Assistant?" Hearing Li Gang's words, Yang Huilan shook her head and said, "Sect Leader Li, Wu Tian is not my assistant. He's accompanying me to the auction."
"I never told you, but I actually have someone accompanying me, so let's just forget about it."
"What did you say? This guy is accompanying you?"
Instantly, hostility flared in Li Gang's eyes as he looked at Wu Tian.
