The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

When the mystery of the fourteenth lot was unveiled, not only Xu Yiyu in Box 6 gasped, but also the four family heads in the four adjacent boxes and Li Rong in Box 1 could not believe their eyes.

"How, how is it possible..."

Zhou Fu and Meng Lingqi, who knew the condition of the item best, both exclaimed in low voices. They had no idea why the item would be in its current state.

The guests in the ordinary seats downstairs were no longer whispering, but were having a completely open discussion. The sound was so loud that even Xu Yiyu could hear it quite clearly without using 100% of his hearing.

Because what is now quietly placed on the stage is a Han-style coffin whose lid had been opened by someone at some unknown time.

Yan Xuhan was closest to the coffin, so naturally he could see clearly what was lying in the coffin.

——A male corpse with a face that is almost indistinguishable from that of a living person, with his eyes closed and his hands folded in front of his chest. His hairstyle and clothing are all in the style of the Han Dynasty. He seems to have died not long ago. Not only are his cheeks not sunken, but they are even visibly red. He looks so lifelike that he seems to be just sleeping.

His clothes were luxurious and complicated, and he was surrounded by numerous gold, silver, gemstones and other objects that were used as burial objects, all of which showed his wealth and nobility during his lifetime.

"Impossible! Nan and I have checked this coffin at least three times before. Apart from the coffin itself, there is absolutely no human remains or any other objects in it. We even left photos as evidence. How could a person and so many things appear out of thin air now!"

In the private room of the Ye family, Meng Lingqi did not wait for Ye Wen to ask him for an explanation, but directly explained to him. And not only him, but Wu Nan in the private room of the Wu family also took the initiative to speak to his father Wu Chen and said a similar statement, and the expression on his face was even more shocked than Meng Lingqi's.

"I finally know why both my eyelids are twitching so happily."

Xu Yiyu sighed softly, probably figuring out what was going on.

Although she had only participated in one car auction in Lucheng before, she also knew that treasures like ancient coffins would hardly appear in any auction in any country. Even if they did appear, it would be impossible to place any additional items in them, and all vacuum anti-corrosion treatments would be done in advance to prevent the high-oxygen environment from accelerating the corrosion of these old objects that have been placed for thousands of years.

But now, the appearance of a male corpse out of nowhere and so many burial objects was obviously not the scene designed by the staff before. She did see the surprise and shock on the faces of the male staff who brought the coffin onto the scene. That was definitely their first subconscious reaction at the time, and it could not be faked at all.

It was the first time that Yan Xuhan on the stage encountered such an emergency, but she still tried to remain calm and used the Bluetooth headset to briefly inform the backstage staff of the situation, asking them to carry the coffin back in its original state as soon as possible.

She had seen the original appearance of the coffin in the archive photos before. It should have been a complete coffin sealed with a lid and lifted up in a completely closed state. It should not have looked like it does now.

"Dear guests, I am very sorry. Due to some problems with our 14th lot, our auction process will be suspended for a while. The staff will remove it first. Please wait patiently for a while. We will inform you of the latest situation later."

Yan Xuhan forced herself to smile calmly and tried to comfort the noisy guests. The backstage staff also came to the front of the stage and carried the coffin backstage, and did not let it stay on the auction table.

"Tianlin, go backstage first, I'll be there soon."

After Tianlin on the first floor received Xu Yiyu's message, he immediately stood up and walked backstage.

Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi on the second floor did not waste any time. They looked at each other quickly and walked downstairs hand in hand.

If Xu Yiyu's guess was correct, the auction would be suspended for a long time due to the appearance of the male corpse in the coffin, and would also alarm the four family heads in the box.

As expected, as soon as the two walked out of the box, they saw the four family heads who had already walked out of the box. Behind them were the younger generations they brought with them, including Mr. Meng, who was in charge of coordinating before the auction began.

Gu Liang, who was closest to Xu Yiyu's Box No. 6, was not too surprised to see the junior coming out of the box. Instead, Zhou Zhiyu, who came out of Box No. 6, which was farther away from Box No. 2, showed a hint of panic on his face when he saw Xu Yiyu coming out of the box.

However, because she and Xu Yiyu were too far apart, when Xu Yiyu turned his gaze towards her, she had already turned her eyes away and followed Zhou Fu downstairs, and did not let Xu Yiyu catch any unnatural look in her expression.

Li Rong hesitated for a long time in Box No. 1, but ultimately did not get up to go downstairs to check the situation.

His official identity is too sensitive. In addition, only a handful of people know that he is coming to Longtengju today. It is really not appropriate for him to appear in an official occasion that attracts everyone's attention at this time.

Zhou Fu, who was the first to go downstairs, had the same idea as Li Rong. Halfway down the stairs, he looked back and found that the door of Box No. 1 was not opened. Only then did he continue to go downstairs with peace of mind.

The doors of boxes 6 and 7, located on the other side of Xu Yiyu's box 8, remained tightly closed, with no signs of opening.

"I don't know if today's auction can go on smoothly. If the four family heads can't solve the problem after checking the situation, the police may be alerted..."

After Xu Yiyu nodded to the several family heads who walked out of the box, he deliberately lagged behind them by a few steps and did not catch up immediately. Instead, he stood at the door of his own box for a while and whispered a few words to Lu Sanshi.

"No one expected this to happen, but fortunately the warehouse where the coffin was originally stored should have been equipped with surveillance cameras in advance. If the staff can check the surveillance and trace it back, they should be able to find out the whole process of what happened."

Lu Sanshi also responded to Xu Yiyu in a low voice. When he turned around and noticed that the people from the four major families had gone far away, he took Xu Yiyu's hand and walked downstairs.

The Chosen System in Xu Yiyu's consciousness world retrieved the surveillance footage of the coffin going on stage in advance. After finding that there was no problem with the surveillance footage for the whole day, it retrieved the warehouse surveillance footage from yesterday.

Lu Sanshi's guess was indeed correct. There were indeed surveillance cameras set up in advance in the warehouse where the coffin was stored. However, it was not known whether the person who tampered with the warehouse had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness and actually avoided all spaces that could be captured by the surveillance cameras. It was not known whether they used some means to cover all the probes with cloth in advance, which directly caused the surveillance footage during that period to be passively lost.

No matter how high the technological level of the Chosen System is, it can only intercept the noisy sounds when those people are taking action, because it does not know the specific identities of these people, and it is impossible to hack into their mobile phones to learn more specific situations.

After informing the host of these situations, Xu Yiyu, who had already walked downstairs, looked even colder, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about how to break the situation.

"It looks like they came prepared. We can only play along and see if we can make the person who did this trick reveal himself."
