"Lawyer Shen, do you have evidence?"
Nan Qingqing was trembling all over, eager to see the evidence with her own eyes.
Shen Lu didn’t hesitate, directly tossing a stack of photos in front of Nan Qingqing.
"Half a month ago, Nan Yu had already made contact with Nan Zhuoyuan. At that ti, Nan Zhuoyuan was already colluding with her, knowing that you were an imposter sister."
Nan Qingqing picked up the photos, looking through them one by one.
They were taken deep in the night, pictures of Nan Yu and Nan Zhuoyuan eting in the car.
In the photos, Nan Zhuoyuan’s eyes were filled with affection towards Nan Yu, it was clear that he had long recognized that Nan Yu was his real sister.
That is to say, for the entire half month, Nan Zhuoyuan treated her like a clown, watching how this imposter perford her act, while secretly planning how to net them all in one fell swoop.
Shen Lu, standing beside her, kept talking: "Qingqing, Nan Zhou has always been closest to Nan Zhuoyuan, and he holds an important military position. He would not return ho unless it was under special circumstances."
"Haven’t you ever wondered why he was able to rush back to City A from the distant border the day after Duan Zhu’s incident?"
Nan Qingqing suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, her throat swelling uncomfortably.
Clutching the photos, she stared at the private room number 1 across from her, her face revealing intense hatred.
"So from the very beginning, they had planned everything, Nan Zhuoyuan had Nan Zhou prepared to return to City A at any ti."
"After the incident with Duan Zhu, Nan Zhou ca back overnight, and at Nan Zhuoyuan’s instruction, he pretended to treat as his true sister, when in fact, he knew I was a fake all along."
"All to send our family of three to jail at the banquet."
Thinking of all those coincidences, of Sheng Ruoi in the psychiatric hospital, and her haggard father.
Nan Qingqing felt an imnse surge of resentnt and an endless hatred.
She glared fiercely at Nan Zhou, "He and Nan Yu should die!"
Shen Lu stretched out her hand, placing it on Nan Qingqing’s hand, her lips curving into a slight smirk.
"Qingqing, they treated you like this, how can we let them off easily?"
Nan Qingqing’s eyes glead with ruthlessness, turning to look at Shen Lu, "Lawyer Shen, what do you want to do? Or rather, what do you need to do?"
Shen Lu saw that look in her eyes, her face involuntarily revealing a smug smile.
"Qingqing, you don’t have to do anything today. Today I’ll teach Nan Zhou a lesson for you."
Nan Qingqing looked puzzled at Shen Lu.
Shen Lu’s bright red lips were terrifyingly glamorous.
"I’m taking you to release a sky lantern."
In private room number 6, Nan Yu was tasting the ninth dish when suddenly she heard a sharp scream behind her.
"Young Madam, look quickly, soone has released another sky lantern!"
Nan Yu looked outside with confusion, seeing that in private room number 3, diagonally across from her, another red lantern had been hung up.
She turned her head to Xu Qi, "Uncle Xu, can two sky lanterns be lit at the sa auction?"
Xu Qi, witnessing the scene, frowned deeply, his expression grave.
"I once attended an auction with the old madam, where two sky lanterns were also lit."
Nan Yu put down her chopsticks and asked seriously, "What was the situation like then?"
Rembering that auction, Xu Qi involuntarily closed his eyes, his face showing a flicker of distress.
He opened his eyes again, looking at Nan Yu, and explained.
"There is a hidden rule about releasing sky lanterns at auctions; at most, three sky lanterns can be lit simultaneously during a single auction event."
"But only one can remain lit until the end."
"Whoever can’t hold out will have their lantern burst imdiately, and whoever’s lantern bursts must compensate according to the auction’s designated price. If the money isn’t enough, then limbs will be broken as paynt."
With a weathered look in his eyes, Xu Qi said solemnly, "During that auction, the client whose lantern burst had all four limbs broken on the spot, becoming a human pig."
