The rebellious daughter is spoiled by the disabled boss

Before they could do anything, the lights suddenly came on again.

But when she saw the lights coming back on, Jiang Yuechu's heart sank to the bottom.

If she guessed correctly, that person might have already taken action.

The three of them were just about to go backstage to inquire about the silk book and make sure it was intact. However, at this moment, the auctioneer on site came up to them with a stern face.

Seeing the auctioneer seeming to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Yuchu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Her intuition told her that something must have happened to the silk book, but she was unwilling to admit it.

Ah Yan's face was not looking very good, so Ouyang Jun simply stepped forward very calmly and asked, "What happened?"

The auctioneer opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He just said, "Please follow me to the backstage first."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yuchu's bad premonition was basically confirmed.

Regardless of whether Jiang Yuechu admits it or not, something must have happened to the silk book at this time. I just don’t know what exactly happened. It’s best not to be the worst-case scenario she had imagined.

The four of them looked at each other, then followed the staff to the backstage.

After arriving at the backstage, the manager, with an apologetic look on his face, took a step forward and said to them very anxiously, "I'm really sorry. When the power went out just now, the silk book that several guests brought up was stolen. We are still looking for it. The entrances and exits have been blocked, but don't worry, we will definitely find it back."

Although the manager said this, Jiang Yuechu knew that there was a high chance that it could not be found, otherwise the manager would not have said such a thing.

Each of them had an expression of anxiety on their faces, and Jiang Yuechu's expression was even uglier.

Because Jiang Yuechu had never thought that everything she had thought in her mind had been confirmed. It seemed that someone had planned it in advance just to get this silk book.

Moreover, those people were secretly watching them from behind, waiting for them to take action, so when A Yan handed over the silk book, in less than ten minutes, the other party could no longer hold back and stole the silk book directly.

Jiang Yuechu also had reason to believe that even if he searched for it in the following period of time, the person who stole the silk book might have already left the venue and would not be found even if he looked for it.

They just kept waiting in the lounge backstage, and all the auction staff were urgently looking for Ang Shu's whereabouts and investigating everything possible.

They were all extremely anxious. Although Jiang Yuechu knew that the silk book was most likely impossible to find, it was better to have hope than no hope.

Qin Susu, who was standing next to them, looked at their anxious faces and just comforted them with a few words, and didn't say anything else.

After the auction was completely over, the manager came to them sweating profusely and with a nervous look on his face. It seemed that he had not found the silk book.

As expected, everything was just as Jiang Yuechu expected. When the manager looked at them, there was a trace of guilt on his face. "I'm really sorry, the silk book you handed in was indeed not found. We also checked the surveillance cameras, but because there was a power outage at the time, there was no surveillance footage of what happened at that time, and there was no clue."

"If you are willing to negotiate, we are willing to compensate you at the market price."

Seeing the manager's uneasy face, Jiang Yuechu knew that this was probably the only way to handle the matter. When she was about to say something, Qin Susu next to her took a step forward and stood in front of them, looking at the manager in front of her with a bright face.

"Are you sure you can't find it?"

The manager was sweating. “I’m so sorry, Miss, I really can’t find you. I hope you can agree to our negotiation terms. We don’t want this to get out of hand, otherwise it will have a bad impact on our auction.”

Jiang Yuchu knew what the manager meant. If the collection was lost at the auction and the news got out, it would be a huge loss for their auction. They were afraid that the rich and powerful would not dare to bring their collections to the auction anymore.

Of course Jiang Yuechu understood what the manager meant, which was to keep things peaceful and hope that they would not call the police.

However, facing the manager's words, Qin Susu nodded, not knowing whether to agree or not, and then looked at the manager and said, "Now that things have come to this point, but this silk book is very important to us, let's call the police directly."

Jiang Yuchu didn't expect that Qin Susu would actually say the words "call the police" in front of the manager, so she was stunned for a moment.

In fact, if what Qin Susu said was true, they did need to call the police for what was happening now.

Judging from the manager's expression, he really doesn't intend to make all this public. For the sake of the reputation of their auction, he plans to settle the matter privately.

But before Jiang Yuechu could open his mouth to speak, the auction house manager's face immediately turned ugly. He looked at Qin Susu in front of him and the guilt and uneasiness on his face were no longer there.

"Miss, we have already told you that if this matter gets out of hand, it will not benefit either of us. If it can be resolved privately, it will be the best solution. Don't be so shameless as to use this opportunity to threaten our auction house!"

These words were really too harsh to be heard, and some people nearby couldn't bear to listen to them anymore. However, before Jiang Yuchu could open her mouth to speak, Qin Susu smiled at the manager.

Next, Qin Susu took out a business card from her pocket and stuffed it into the manager's hand in front of them, saying proudly:

"Excuse me, this is my business card. Please take a look at it before you decide how to speak."

The manager was still angry at first glance, but when he glanced at the abbreviated name and position on the business card, his face immediately turned ugly and he looked a little embarrassed.

The already tense atmosphere became even more oppressive.
