Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Uncle Qi, I Want to Light a Sky Lantern
Xu Qi paused for a second before continuing.
"And, the Dark Night Organization, for the sake of money, often does this at auctions, to quickly swallow up the opponent’s entire assets."
"It seems that the Dark Night Organization has set its sights on the Nan Group."
Nan Yu couldn’t help but clench her fists, her gaze piercing with sharpness.
"Shen Lu coming tonight with Nan Qingqing is deliberately looking for trouble with my Fourth Brother, trying to use him to break into the Nan Group and then step by step devour the entire Nan Family."
The thought alone, that Nan Zhou might meet his end at this auction, and as a result, the entire Nan Group might be consumed bit by bit, becoming everything to the Dark Night Organization.
She became inexplicably tense; she didn’t want to witness that scene at all!
Qi Ming saw the usually calm Young Madam now wearing an anxious expression on her face.
He couldn’t help but speak out to comfort her, "Young Madam, don’t panic just yet, what if the Fourth Young Master Nan withstands it? What if Shen Lu is the one to explode with the Sky Lantern instead?"
Nan Yu’s face turned pale as she slowly shook her head.
"Uncle Qi, you might not understand the Dark Night Organization well enough; they do countless bad things without any bottom line and ensnare all the funds. The money in their hands is comparable to an underground empire."
"Even if the Nan Group is wealthy, how can it compete with an underground empire?"
She could not help but think of the highest price bounty issued by the Dark Night Organization on her, the reward was augmented to a full one billion.
Xu Qi’s face also turned grim, "Young Madam, you stay here. I will go out and make a phone call."
After speaking, he hurried out.
Qi Ming came to Nan Yu’s side from behind, holding a cup of tea for her.
"Young Madam, don’t panic just yet. Housekeeper Xu must be going to figure something out. Let’s patiently wait for a bit."
Nan Yu declined the teacup, her whole heart focused on Nan Zhou, with the voice of the female host downstairs incessantly reaching her ears.
"Bidder number 3 quotes 500 million, does bidder number 1 wish to continue?"
"Alright, bidder number 1 quotes 600 million."
"..."
The continuously rising quotes frightened everyone, curious about who the final winner would be.
And Nan Yu could clearly see Nan Zhou’s face filled with impatience, his eyes red as he kept raising the bid.
If this kept on, in no time, Nan Zhou wouldn’t be able to hold on!
Realizing this, Nan Yu pursed her lips tightly, her gaze becoming exceptionally sharp.
"Uncle Qi, I want to light the Sky Lantern."
This sentence was not asking for Qi Ming’s opinion, but telling him.
Holding the teacup, Qi Ming trembled, the scalding tea burning his fingertips, he momentarily forgot the pain, and looked at Nan Yu with nervous and worrisome eyes.
"Young Madam, don’t be impulsive, the matter of lighting the Sky Lantern should be a long-term consideration."
He stood up suddenly, "Young Madam, I’ll go get Housekeeper Xu right now!"
After speaking, he quickly turned to find Xu Qi.
But just as he reached the door, he heard Nan Yu’s clear, pleasant voice rise.
"I want to light the Sky Lantern."
Each word, exceptionally distinct.
Qi Ming turned back to see the server going to confirm with Nan Yu, and Nan Yu looked serious, not joking at all.
"I’m sure, I want to light the Sky Lantern."
After saying this for the third time, Qi Ming realized the Young Madam’s resolve.
His legs went weak, slowly moving back, his smile uglier than crying.
"Young Madam..."
Before he could speak, Nan Yu gave him a radiant smile.
"Uncle Qi, there’s no need to say more. Me lighting the Sky Lantern is my business; it has nothing to do with you, and the Huo Family’s funds won’t be touched. I have my own way."
