My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 949: Entering the Auction
She had planned to stay in the villa tonight but it seemed she must go to the auction.
Third Young Master Jun, dressed entirely in black, exuded a faint, deadly aura. His eyes tonight were especially different, brimming with an irrepressible sharpness.
"Stay well in the villa, rest early tonight, and tomorrow we will go back," he said, kissing her lightly.
Then, with a group of bodyguards, he strode out of the villa, and several black cars vanished into the darkness.
Ye Lu watched his car quietly leave in the night, then lay on the bed. Tonight, there were even more bodyguards in the villa, which was really troublesome.
If she really wanted to find a way to slip away, it wasn’t impossible.
Like suddenly having a stomach ache.
The bodyguards all knew that Third Young Master Jun was very concerned about the child in her belly and would immediately send her to the hospital. However, their vigilance was still strong, and a swarm of people followed her.
Once in the hospital, after being pushed into a treatment room, she finally managed to shake off the bodyguards with the help of two little demons inside and out.
She got into a taxi, ordered the driver coldly, then picked up her phone to make a call. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Half an hour later, she arrived at a bustling, yet chaotic part of the city.
The entry to the auction was very strict, no communication devices were allowed, nor were firearms or bladed weapons. After passing through high-tech scans and paying a hefty entrance fee, Ye Lu finally succeeded in entering.
The interior was designed like a Roman Colosseum, spread over several levels. The bottom level was the most crowded with relatively ordinary guests—yet these so-called ’ordinary’ individuals had a net worth of at least ten million.
The second and third levels were reserved for well-known, prominent families with influence in both the underworld and the legitimate business world.
Ye Lu, wearing a wig and cap and made-up as a Western woman, did not stand out in the crowd. She vigilantly hid herself within the tall crowd, her eyes coldly sweeping over the assembly. No matter what, she couldn’t see Hua Lunxi, which chilled her heart even more.
It seemed certain that Ivanov father and daughter had captured him.
What to do? These two items just could not be auctioned, otherwise, not only would it offend the two major families, but it would also provoke a backlash from many families whose secrets were held by the Hua Clan. They would certainly believe that the Hua Clan intended to auction off their secrets one by one and would harbor deep-seated hatred for the Hua family.
That would put the Hua family at odds everywhere.
As the heir of the Hua family, she could not let the Hua family fall into such danger.
If Hua Lunxi wasn’t there, then it was up to her to take control of the situation and do her best to mitigate the damage.
If she couldn’t steal the items back, then she now had no choice but to win them back at the auction.
...
In the third-floor private room, Ivanov father and daughter sat coldly, a row of black-clad bodyguards standing like iron towers behind them, exuding the formidable presence of major arms dealers.
Yiren’s eyes, cold and viciously sharp, swept over the entire room. Their third-floor vantage point offered an excellent view, enabling them to clearly see everyone below. At this moment, she was using binoculars to quietly scan the women entering the room, particularly those from the East.
"Yiren, do you think Hua Lunxi really has found his sister?" Ivanov frowned.
"Although he looked very doubtful when he heard I was his sister and scrutinized the evidence we provided before believing it, then met me with pleasant surprise, acting flawlessly—just too perfectly, which in fact makes one suspicious. Moreover, these past few days, our surveillance and eavesdropping on him haven’t revealed any issues, nor have we found him in contact with any suspicious individuals. Don’t these actions seem more like he’s aware of our plan and is pretending otherwise?" Yiren’s gaze grew deeper and more piercing.
