The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Hide Multiple Identities-Chapter 418: Verifying Their Assets on the Spot
Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Verifying Their Assets on the Spot
"Nonsense!"
Huo Juanyan’s face turned utterly dark.
He looked directly at Xia Xing, "Take me to the auction site."
Once they were in the car, Xia Xing passed a document to Huo Juanyan from the front.
"President Huo, this contains detailed information on the three guests who bid with Sky Lanterns this time."
Huo Juanyan took it and began to review the information on those three people.
The first was Nan Zhou, the Fourth Young Master Nan; all the treasures auctioned off so far belonged to him.
The second was Nan Qingqing.
But it was not just Nan Qingqing; there was also a lawyer named Shen Lu.
Huo Juanyan narrowed his eyes at Shen Lu’s photo, superimposing it with the image of the lawyer from two years ago.
"When did Shen Lu get so close to Nan Qingqing?"
Xia Xing, who was driving, quickly explained upon hearing this: "Who knows what tricks Nan Luzhi pulled to get Shen Lu on board? The Nan Family’s issues this time—they managed to get out all thanks to Shen Lu’s intervention."
Upon hearing this, Huo Juanyan’s expression soured, his eyes turning dark.
He flipped to the next page and saw a familiar, beautiful face.
His previously sharp gaze instantly softened, and his complexion wasn’t as unpleasant as before.
Then, he frowned, revealing a hint of confusion.
"How could Nan Yu be bidding with a Sky Lantern?"
Xia Xing explained: "The Fourth Young Master Nan is her elder brother; she probably couldn’t bear to see her brother in trouble, so she requested to bid with a Sky Lantern as well."
According to what he heard from the elder madam, it was the Young Madam who stood up alone for her elder brother and the Nan Group, determined to protect them.
Huo Juanyan looked at the photo of Nan Yu, imagining her appearing before him, giving him a tender smile.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes flashing a cold light, his voice ice-cold.
"Xia Xing, halt the auction and demand an on-the-spot verification of assets for these three guests."
"Our Huo family’s auction is not one where just anyone has the privilege to bid with a Sky Lantern."
Xia Xing acknowledged the command and immediately called the person in charge of the auction, conveying everything Huo Juanyan had said.
Lastly, he added, "President Lu, the big boss will arrive at the auction site in half an hour."
On the other end, upon hearing this statement, the person in charge, Lu Yuxian, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Her pupils constricted; she panted heavily while staring at the mobile phone in her hand, her face full of fear.
Her assistant, who had been with her for many years, handed her a cup of tea.
"President Lu, what’s wrong?"
Lu Yuxian gulped down all the tea in one go, her face pale and her lips trembling uncontrollably.
"The real power behind the auction is coming."
The assistant went limp for a moment, fingers trembling involuntarily.
"Is it that elusive boss with unpredictable temper, whose every visit results in a bloodbath?"
Lu Yuxian turned to look at her assistant, "Yes, that’s the boss."
The assistant swallowed hard, struggling to suppress the fear inside him.
"The boss hasn’t come for three years, right? Why is he suddenly showing up today?"
Lu Yuxian glanced at the three Sky Lanterns outside; even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to.
"The big boss heard about the bidding with three Sky Lanterns; he demanded that I immediately suspend the auction and perform on-the-spot asset verification for those three guests."
The assistant’s forehead was drenched with sweat; he said cautiously: "President Lu, those three outside are not to be trifled with. Verifying their assets on the spot is akin to slapping them in the face."
"Especially one being the Fourth Young Master Nan, the other a prominent figure in the Dark Night Organization..."
Lu Yuxian was well aware of this truth; neither the Nan Group nor the Dark Night Organization were entities she could afford to offend.
Suddenly, she focused her gaze on the third Sky Lantern.
"The big boss will arrive in half an hour; have them verify the assets of the third guest who bid with a Sky Lantern first, see how much her assets amount to!"
