My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 950: Don’t Come No Matter What
"Hmm, my clever child, you’re not wrong," he said. "It seems very likely that Hua Lunxi has already found his sister."
"Therefore, we must lure her out and kill her, to prevent future troubles. That way, my position as the heir to the Hua family will be secure, allowing me to fully exploit this identity to help our Ivan Family reach new heights," he said.
Yiren sneered; she certainly did not want another woman emerging halfway to vie for her position.
Releasing items for auction and forcing Hua Lunxi to comply was also a way to draw out and eliminate the hidden heir.
The Ivan Family always acted decisively, and they were determined to achieve their goal tonight.
"But are you sure that Hua Lunxi’s sister will really show up at this auction?" Ivanov was skeptical.
Yiren’s red lips curled into a seductive smile, "Her brother has been captured, alive or dead unknown. Any heir with a sense of responsibility wouldn’t allow the Hua family’s possessions to fall into others’ hands, or the consequences would be severe. Therefore, I’m certain she will show up and bid fiercely for the two items. And furthermore..."
A look of self-satisfaction appeared on her charming face.
"If she were to watch the position of the Hua family’s heir being snatched away, to see her brother recognize another woman as his sister, and to find herself abandoned, can you imagine how shocked and disbelieving she would be? At that moment, she will certainly leap out, aggrieved, declaring that she is the true heir."
"Ha ha, even better, once we know who she is, it makes it easier for us to take action," Ivanov nodded in satisfaction.
Yiren picked up the binoculars again, "Exactly. As long as we see an Eastern woman interested in those two items, wanting to bid on them, we can basically confirm the target. Then, it will be just a snap of our fingers!"
"Sir, Miss, Mr. Hua Lunxi has arrived," said the bodyguard in a low voice behind them.
Yiren turned around and saw several bodyguards escorting Hua Lunxi, ostensibly for protection but in fact keeping him under surveillance and control.
"Big brother, have a seat. Don’t worry, our foster father will bid for those two items for us and keep it private. Tonight is indeed the perfect time to reveal my identity, and you needn’t fret about those who covet the Hua family secrets harming me. With a munitions merchant like my foster father protecting me, no one dares to lay a finger on me. Then, once the Hua family and the Ivan Family join forces, we shall surely become titans of the industry," she began warmly, pulling Hua Lunxi to sit beside her, her tone tinged with a seemingly naïve coquettishness, as if they truly shared a deep sibling bond.
"My sister is indeed very clever," Hua Lunxi said with a smile, forced to make a pretense of civility.
Because he was under duress and because of the two items in Yiren’s possession, which absolutely could not be exposed at such an event, he had no choice but to feign recognition of this sister.
Yet, he was also greatly puzzled in his heart — how had Yiren found those two items, and what about the evidence that purportedly proved she was the daughter of the Hua family? Because those pieces of evidence did not seem to be fake.
With many suspicions in mind, but more anxious about another matter — Ye Lu absolutely must not show up here.
And she must not reveal her identity, or else the Ivan father and daughter would surely not let her off!
All he could do was silently pray that Ye Lu would stay away.
The auction soon began. This black-market auction was well-established, offering various smuggled treasures and performing all sorts of illicit arms trades and illegal transactions, all carried out systematically.
However, what those present were most looking forward to were the two treasures put forth by the Ivan Family. Hyped up to extreme levels previously, they had whetted everyone’s appetite.
