Nan Yu had just arrived downstairs, removing her mask to reveal a face so beautiful it could render one speechless.
She was dressed in a blue gown, like a blue jellyfish in the deep blue sea, stunning and mysterious.
Everyone gasped.
"That must be Nan Yu, the real heiress recently acknowledged by the Nan Family!"
"Good heavens, she’s too beautiful!"
"Miss Nan, she looks like her mother when she was young!"
Nan Yu stood in front of them, looking at the Black Gold Card in Chen Li’s hand.
"It seems that you have already verified it without ."
Lu Yuxian hurriedly snapped back to reality, showing a face full of apology.
"I’m sorry, Miss Nan, I failed to recognize Mount Tai, my knowledge is too shallow, I didn’t recognize that this Black Gold Card is real."
Nan Yu smiled gently, like thousands of peach blossoms blooming.
"Manager Lu, it’s normal for you not to know about the No. 501 Black Gold Card, seeing as its origin is quite special."
Chen Li, holding the Black Gold Card, continued her words.
"Miss Nan’s Black Gold Card was specially given to you five years ago after you saved Mr. Robert’s father, right?"
Mr. Robert is the chairman of the bank that manages the global Black Gold Cards and holds absolute power.
Nan Yu nodded slightly, without denial.
"Five years ago, Mr. Robert and his father ca to City A for a visit and accidentally ventured into the little mountain village where I lived."
"There, Mr. Robert’s father suddenly beca critically ill. At the brink of death, I stepped in to save him, and his father’s life was spared."
"Mr. Robert, to express his gratitude at that ti, went out of his way to give this special Black Gold Card."
These words were consistent with the information Chen Li had found.
Back then, Mr. Robert had repeatedly publicly thanked that person, saying that without her, his father would not be alive.
Because she did not want others to know her identity, Mr. Robert never revealed any information about her.
At one point, people even doubted if it was a hoax.
Now it seems that what Mr. Robert said was all true!
Chen Li held the Black Gold Card with both hands, returning it to Nan Yu.
"Miss Nan, my apologies. It was a lapse on the part of our staff that led to this incident, please forgive us."
Nan Yu, holding the Black Gold Card, smiled and said: "It’s fine."
Rembering her bet with Lu Yuxian, Chen Li continued: "Miss Nan, regarding the bet just now with Manager Lu, our auction house honors its bets. Please state your condition."
Lu Yuxian nodded vigorously, "That’s right, Miss Nan, what is your condition?"
Nan Yu glanced around the auction, first setting her gaze on Nan Zhou with a smile.
Then, her eyes moved to two people inside Box No. 3 and she smiled coldly.
"My condition is simple, blow up the Sky Lantern in Box No. 3!"
That short sentence echoed through the entire auction house, like the words of a devil.
Shen Lu, sitting in the box, upon hearing this, felt a chill down her spine, shivering reflexively.
Nan Qingqing, seeing Nan Yu’s terrifying gaze, involuntarily shuddered, legs turning to jelly.
She was completely panicked.
"Lawyer Shen, what should we do? If the Sky Lantern is blown up, we’d have to compensate hundreds of millions!"
Shen Lu quickly regained her composure, glaring back at Nan Qingqing.
"What’s the panic? It’s just a asly hundred million!"
Nan Qingqing, scolded, instantly fell silent. Seeing Nan Yu downstairs staring her down, she couldn’t help but tremble with fear, retreating.
Looking at Nan Qingqing with disdain, Shen Lu then stood up and said to Nan Yu downstairs: "I am a guest of the auction house, entitled to light a Sky Lantern, you have no right to blow up my Sky Lantern."
She then looked toward Lu Yuxian, "Manager Lu, you’ve run the auction house for ten years in City A. To blow up my Sky Lantern just like that, is this how your auction house operates?"
Her tone was full of defiance.
Lu Yuxian looked troubled, her brow furrowed as she glanced at the baleful Shen Lu upstairs, then at the calm Nan Yu downstairs.
"Miss Nan, besides this condition, do you have any others?"
Nan Yu glanced at her, coldly saying: "Manager Lu, if you can’t handle it, why did you bet with ? Or is it that your auction house likes to go back on its word, without a shred of integrity?"
These few words hit Lu Yuxian hard, darkening her vision.
The word "integrity" is extrely important to an auction house.
Once it loses credibility, it ans that the deals of the auction house are in doubt, and not many would go to an auction with questionable reputation to sell their goods.
If Lu Yuxian now failed to et Nan Yu’s demand, then the auction house would be ruined here today.
