Chapter 76

When Liu Xing returned to the lobby on the first floor of the book bar, he met Liu Shiming and Lu Yuxin.

They all changed their clothes and put on high heels, as if they were ready to go out.Liu Shiming has always hated wearing high heels, and she would not wear them unless she had to.

"Sister, where are you going?"

"Go to Yufeng Hotel to participate in the lottery meeting of the Taoshu team."

"The drawing of lots?"

Two months later, the Reading Alliance will officially launch the Book Amoy Project, and each Amoy Book team will be responsible for searching for book coffins in a corresponding area.

The Reading Alliance divides Fiction Street into 20 areas. Tonight's lottery meeting is to determine the specific areas that each Taoshu team will search for by means of lottery.

Lu Yuxin is a sponsor of a Taoshu team and needs to participate in tonight's lottery ceremony.As for Liu Shiming, as the captain of this Taoshu team, he was also invited to participate in the lottery.

"Sister, I also want to go to the lottery meeting to join in the fun."

"If you want to go, you have to change your clothes first."

A few minutes later, the three of them left the bookstore together, got into Lu Yuxin's Tianma sports car, and went straight to Yufeng Hotel.

Yufeng Hotel is affiliated with Yufeng Fiction Academy, and Fiction Academy is affiliated with Reading League. Therefore, Yufeng Hotel is often the venue for some important activities of Reading Alliance.

When we arrived, we saw dozens of cars parked on the hotel square, most of which were top luxury cars.The people who participated in tonight's lottery are basically the sponsors of the Taoshu team, and the sponsorship fees are all above 500 million. These people are naturally wealthy people.

After getting out of the car, under the leadership of the hotel attendant, the three of them came to the lobby on the third floor of the hotel.

The spacious rotunda, resplendent decorations, and dazzling chandeliers all reveal luxury.

Soft music floated in the air, handsome men and beautiful women in bright clothes gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing lively, with smiles on their faces, and the crisp sound of champagne crystal wine glasses came from time to time.

As soon as Lu Yuxin appeared in the lobby, several men in suits and leather shoes greeted her immediately. These people were all businessmen whom Lu Yuxin met when she was the president of the Lu Family Liquor Industry, and many of them were billionaires.

Although Lu Yuxin has withdrawn from the Lujia Liquor business, her popularity does not seem to have been affected in any way.

Liu Xing was really not interested in this kind of banquet-style greetings, and his attention quickly shifted to a circular stage in the center of the hall.

I saw a closed crystal box on the stage. The box is transparent, and there are 20 colored balls of different colors in it, blue, red, purple, white, black... There are 20 colors in total. .

"Are these colored balls props for tonight's lottery?"

While thinking, Liu Xing walked among the crowd, observed all kinds of guests in the hall, and found several familiar figures, including Cai Fugui, the owner of Fugui Book Bar, and the deputy director of Tianhai Book Wholesale Market Jin Abiao et al.

At this time, Cai Fugui looked a little serious, holding a black mobile phone in his hand, and kept scanning the crowd with his eyes, as if he was looking for someone.Not long after, his cell phone rang suddenly and he received a text message.

After Cai Fugui read the text message, a look of joy appeared on his fat face, as if he had received some good news.

Liu Xing noticed Cai Fugui's subtle changes.

In the past, Liu Xing would not observe these small details, but after being fascinated by "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", it has become his instinct to observe words and expressions.

"What text message did Cai Fugui receive, could it be related to tonight's lottery meeting?"

After pondering for a while, Liu Xing walked in the direction of Cai Fugui, passed by Cai Fugui, and then walked naturally through the living room to the bathroom near the hall.

Arriving at the bathroom, Liu Xing spread out the black mobile phone in his hand, which was just stolen when he passed by Cai Fugui.

This trick of "leading the sheep by hand" is just a trick in the art of stealing, and Liu Xing learned it from Chu Liuxiang's memory information.Chu Liuxiang doesn't rarely use such trivial skills, but Liu Xing is not. As long as it is easy to use, he will use it.

Holding the stolen Cai Fugui mobile phone, Liu Xing checked the text messages in the mobile phone, and saw a message from an unfamiliar number 7 minutes ago. The content of the message is as follows:

“今晚淘书队抽签彩球的对应内容是：蓝色彩球——负责搜寻小说街1号到150号区域；红色彩球——负责搜寻小说街151号到300号区域；白色彩球——负责搜寻小说街301号到350号区域……”

After reading the message, Liu Xing was shocked. This text message actually stated the search area corresponding to the 20 colored balls in the lottery tonight.

This information should be classified as top secret, and it is impossible for anyone to know. Who exactly sent the text message to Cai Fugui, and how could they know this information?
However, this information did help Liu Xing a lot, because knowing the areas corresponding to the 20 colored balls, Liu Xing can actively choose the area that the Taoshu team is searching for.

The Taoshu team that has won the blue ball will be responsible for searching the area from No. 1 to No. 150 Fiction Street, and Meteor Book Bar is located at No. 4 Fiction Street.As long as Liu Xing's Amoy Book Team draws the blue colored ball, the Meteor Book Bar will not be searched by other Amoy Book Teams. In this way, the book coffins under the Meteor Book Bar will be safe.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly had an idea.

After a while, he walked out of the bathroom, returned to the hall, walked past Cai Fugui again, used another trick in the theft technique to "return the jade to Zhao", quietly put the phone back into Cai Fugui's pocket, and then walked away naturally .

"Why did Liu Xing come to the draw?" Jin Abiao asked strangely while holding a glass of champagne.

"This kid is thick-skinned, where is he afraid to go?" Cai Fugui smiled, knowing nothing about the theft that just happened, and then said, "Director Jin, we are the third lottery tonight, and the chances are very high. That should be fine. As long as the first two drawers don't take the blue ball, we're successful."

Jin Abiao nodded.

After another ten minutes, all the guests arrived, and the drawing of lots officially started.

Everyone gathers around the circular stage in the center of the hall, all eyes are focused on the 20 colored balls in the crystal box.

Liu Xing found Lu Yuxin and Liu Shiming in the crowd, and stood with the two beauties.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for taking your precious time to participate in the lottery ceremony of the Taoshu team tonight. First of all, on behalf of individuals, I would like to express my highest respect to every sponsor who sponsors the Taoshu team..."

After the on-site host finished his polite opening remarks, he finally cut to the topic, "Next, our lottery ceremony will begin immediately. Everyone has seen that there are 20 colored balls of different colors in the crystal box in front of me. There is a corresponding Taoshu team certificate in the ball, which has the right to search for different areas."

"After a while, every sponsor will come to the stage to draw a colored ball. If there is any certificate in the colored ball, the Taoshu team sponsored by the sponsor will be responsible for searching the corresponding area."

"The order of the sponsors' lottery is based on the time when the sponsors sponsored the Taoshu team. Next, please invite Tianhai City's first sponsor to sponsor the Taoshu team. He is the famous philanthropist Mr. Li Yingcheng."

Amid the thunderous applause, an old man over sixty years old walked onto the circular stage, stood beside the crystal box, and finally chose a white colored ball from it.

After the host smashed the colored balls for help, he took out a white "Search Certificate of Reading Alliance Taoshu Team" from the ball. The Taoshu team with this certificate has the right to search the area from No. 301 to No. 350 of Novel Street.

Seeing this, Liu Xing turned his head and asked Lu Yuxin beside him: "Mr. Lu, who are you to sponsor the Taoshu team?"

"The second one." Lu Yuxin parted her red lips and said softly, "I'm just over an hour behind old Mr. Li Yingcheng."

"The second one? So, you will be the next one to draw lots?"

"Ah."

"Which color ball are you going to draw?"

"Red." Lu Yuxin said, "I like red the most."

"Red?" Liu Xing thought to himself. He hoped that the colored balls drawn would be blue, but Lu Yuxin wanted to draw red colored balls. It seemed that he had to find a way.

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly moved to Lu Yuxin's side, and with a thought, the internal energy in his body swam away, and he stretched out his right hand, hitting the "Shenshu" and "Yangguan" points on Lu Yuxin's waist like lightning.

Lu Yuxin's delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out a soft moan, and then, a sense of dizziness came over her, and she staggered on her feet, almost collapsing.

"Yuxin, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Shiming noticed something was wrong, quickly supported Lu Yuxin, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Lu Yuxin frowned slightly: "I don't know, it's just that I suddenly felt a numbness in my waist, my head started to go dizzy, and my feet suddenly lost strength."

"How could this happen?" Liu Shiming was full of doubts, and Liu Xing asked, "Could it be anemia?"

"Anemia?" Lu Yuxin said, "Probably not, I don't seem to be anemic..."

Just as we were talking, at this moment, the host on the stage said: "Next, the second sponsor who sponsored the Taoshu team will come to the stage to draw lots. She is Ms. Lu Yuxin, the former president of Lujia Liquor Group..."

Hearing this, Lu Yuxin was about to go on stage, but she found that she couldn't use the strength in her legs at all, and she couldn't walk at all. Liu Shiming made an impromptu decision: "Ah Xing, help Yuxin go on stage to draw lots!"

"Oh."

Liu Xing waited for this sentence, tidied up his clothes, and immediately went to the stage.

"Little devil, why are you on stage?"

"Ms. Lu Yuxin is feeling unwell, and she asked me to draw lots instead."

"Ms. Lu, is this true?"

"Ah."

After confirming the situation, Liu Xing stepped up to the round stage in a dignified manner, and came to the crystal box. There were still 19 colored balls in the box, and the one Liu Xing wanted to draw was naturally the blue colored ball.

If you pick a blue colored ball all at once, it is easy to make people suspicious, so Liu Xing first picked up the red colored ball, looked at it, then put it back, then picked up a green colored ball, looked at it again, and put it back again .

After several times of tossing like this, Liu Xing picked up the blue colored ball and said to the host, "I'll pick this one."

The host smashed the blue colored ball into pieces, took out a blue "Search Certificate of the Reading Alliance Taoshu Team", and announced loudly: "The Taoshu team sponsored by Ms. Lu Yuxin has selected the blue colored ball and will be responsible for the search. The area from No. 1 to No. 150 of Fiction Street..."

"Son of a bitch!"

Under the stage, Cai Fugui's face was livid, and he cursed inwardly: Why is Liu Xing's luck so wicked? 19 colored balls, why did he choose the blue colored ball?Why, why exactly?
