The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Hide Multiple Identities-Chapter 414: The Opponent is the Dark Night Organization
Chapter 414: Chapter 414: The Opponent is the Dark Night Organization
Nan Yu frowned upon hearing the last part.
She looked at the guest in booth number 1, only to see that person standing by the window, the entire figure enveloped in a terrifying shade.
She couldn’t help but ask, "If tonight’s auction also encounters a situation where the Sky Lantern explodes, does it also result in limbs being severed?"
Xu Qi nodded, "Yes, not just tonight’s auction, but all auctions follow this rule."
Nan Yu frowned slightly and then looked towards booth number 3, where two women were sitting, the one in the lead dressed in a black gown.
Beside the woman in black sat someone extremely familiar.
Even though Nan Yu couldn’t clearly see that person’s face, she could recognize that figure anywhere, even if it turned to ash.
It was Nan Qingqing!
Suddenly, a waiter rushed into the doorway, leaned close to Xu Qi’s ear, and whispered a few words.
Xu Qi, with a stern face, waved the waiter away and promptly leaned in close to Nan Yu.
"Young Madam, I sent someone to inquire about the person from booth number 3 who ordered the Sky Lantern, and it’s someone you know: Shen Lu and Nan Qingqing."
This answer confirmed what Nan Yu had just observed. She pursed her lips tightly, "Uncle Qi, then who is the person in booth number 1?"
Xu Qi glanced at booth number 1, then back at Nan Yu, suddenly stuck as if unable to speak for a long time.
"Young Madam, he is..."
Nan Yu looked at the familiar figure in booth number 1, as a glimmer flashed through her mind.
"Is the person in booth number 1 Nan Zhou?"
Xu Qi’s eyes widened in astonishment, "Young Madam, how did you recognize him?"
But then he thought, Nan Zhou was the Young Madam’s fourth brother; it was no problem for her to recognize her own fourth brother.
With the confirmation, Nan Yu’s eyes darkened.
"Is it certain that the Sky Lantern will explode?"
Xu Qi could tell that the Young Madam was worried about Nan Zhou, afraid that if he failed to light the Sky Lantern, it would lead to an uncontrollable situation.
"Young Madam, Fourth Young Master Nan has the entire Nan Group behind him, a mere Sky Lantern lighting cannot fail."
"The one who should be worried is Shen Lu from booth number 3. As a lawyer, no matter how wealthy, she can’t possibly be richer than the Nan Group."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu’s expression grew even graver.
"But what if the other party is from the Dark Night Organization?"
"The Dark Night Organization?" freewebnøvel.com
The following Qi Ming stepped forward, his expression turning particularly ugly.
"Young Madam, are you mistaken? Shen Lu is just a lawyer; how could she be backed by the Dark Night Organization?"
Nan Yu spoke coldly, "Uncle Qi, I’m positive that Shen Lu is from the Dark Night Organization."
Qi Ming looked back at booth number 3, saw Nan Qingqing’s face, along with the events that had happened these past few days.
"No wonder Nan Qingqing and her family were released from custody so quickly; turns out they found a backer in the Dark Night Organization!"
Xu Qi’s expression also turned grim.
"If Shen Lu really is from the Dark Night Organization, then Fourth Young Master Nan is in danger."
Qi Ming quickly turned to look at Xu Qi, "Housekeeper Xu, Fourth Young Master Nan is a scion of the Nan Group after all; surely he can’t be outbid by the Dark Night Organization, right?"
Xu Qi let out a heavy sigh, "Young Madam, I’m not trying to scare you, but as I told you earlier, the Dark Night Organization lit the second Sky Lantern at the auction I attended many years ago with the old madam."
"Back then, the Dark Night Organization did it on purpose, making the other party’s Sky Lantern explode, turning them into a hopeless wreck."
"It was after that auction that the person died the same night, leaving behind a fortune of hundreds of millions, and the Dark Night Organization easily swallowed it up."
