Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Accompanied by the three crisp bell sounds of "Ding Ding Ding" coming from downstairs, an old and powerful voice resounded throughout the venue: "Everyone present, this auction is about to begin!"

At this moment, Old Mrs. Huo had missed the opportunity to anger Wu Xie again, but she was not in a hurry because during the auction, she still had enough time to anger the other party in order to achieve her goal.

The fat man stood straight behind Wu Xie, his eyes fixed on the bodyguards around him and the many martial artists in the hotel. He remained highly alert and did not dare to slack off.

Hua Yu and Xie Yuchen sat by the window in a private room on the third floor, overlooking the lobby downstairs and the private room on the second floor, taking in everything.

"Wu Xie was not confused by the words of the old witch of the Huo family? I really have to look at him with new eyes." Xie Yuchen was surprised to find that Wu Xie, who had always been stubborn and refused to listen to anyone's advice, did not follow the advice of Mrs. Huo and chose to sit on the right.

"Do you think that all the traps his uncle has set for him during this period of time have been in vain? No matter how stupid a person is, after experiencing so many things, there will always be a trace of doubt about others in his heart." Hua Yu responded calmly.

"Hmph." Xie Yuchen hummed twice, grabbed a booklet on the table beside him and started flipping through it.

"Dad, look at this!" When Xie Yuchen turned to a certain page, he suddenly discovered a problem with the auction item.

Hua Yu was also curious. Aren’t the items in the auction at the Crescent Hotel the same as in previous years? Why was Xiao Hua so excited?

Hua Yu took the booklet from Xie Yuchen, and when she saw the contents, her eyes suddenly turned cold. The people sitting below began to whisper, muttering that the air conditioning in the New Moon Hotel was too strong. Was it because they were afraid that the auction would be too enthusiastic that they turned up the air conditioning?

"Let Nan Feng come over." Hua Yu closed the auction booklet and transmitted her low voice to the people around her. The servants who were serving her looked at the face that was more beautiful than Hua Jiao and was covered with gloom, and they shuddered involuntarily.

Yin Nanfeng arrived at the box very quickly. She was still confused until Hua Yu waved her over. "Nanfeng, tell me honestly, was this auction really arranged by you?"

Yin Nanfeng also felt something was wrong at this moment. The whole box was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Even the sound of sweat dripping down the foreheads of the stick slaves not far away was amplified hundreds of times and transmitted to his ears.

"Uncle Yu, but the items being auctioned this time are not right?" Yin Nanfeng asked carefully, his eyes constantly directed at Xie Yuchen who was sitting next to him.

"Aunt Nanfeng, did someone temporarily add auction items to this booklet, and the people below haven't told you yet? Or did someone deceive you under the pretext of doing something for you?" Xie Yuchen kept gesturing to Yin Nanfeng with his hands on his legs.

"Nanfeng, you grew up under my nose, so I know what kind of personality you have. But..." Hua Yu first glanced at Xie Yuchen, which made him so scared that he didn't dare to make any small movements, and then turned around and looked at Yin Nanfeng.

"But, Nan Feng, I think you should know me. If it doesn't really touch my bottom line, I won't hold anyone accountable."

"Uncle Yu, you know Nanfeng. She will never do anything to let Uncle Yu down. How dare Nanfeng hide anything from Uncle Yu?" Yin Nanfeng walked over and squatted down, looking up at Hua Yu, looking at Hua Yu like a little girl.

"Hey! Then tell Uncle Yu, is there anyone else intervening in this auction?" Hua Yu looked at Yin Nanfeng, who always appeared arrogant, but now looked at her like a little girl. Her tone softened a lot and she asked with a sigh.

"It was the newly hired lobby manager. He said the day before the start that he wanted to add something temporarily, but I was busy with other things at the time and didn't check it out together." Yin Nanfeng told him everything.

"The new lobby manager?" Xie Yuchen asked. After all, he had not heard that the previous lobby manager had resigned or quit.

"It's still my annoying fifth uncle. I don't know where he found such a person. He insisted that he was saved by someone else, but now he has lost his memory and has nowhere to go." When Yin Nanfeng mentioned her fifth uncle, the look of disgust on her face was evident.

"I saw that he had good skills and good looks, so I planned to keep him as a security captain. But my fifth uncle was so stubborn and insisted on making him the lobby manager, saying that with such good skills and good looks, he was much better than the previous one." Yin Nanfeng slowly explained the origin of this lobby manager.

"I had been thinking of investigating it. After all, it was always a bit strange for a savior to suddenly show up. But my fifth uncle insisted that there was nothing wrong with that man. I was so annoyed by him that I had no choice but to transfer the original lobby manager and arranged an easier job for him, but the salary was higher than before, otherwise he would definitely feel resentful." Yin Nanfeng felt helpless about his fifth uncle.

"What's the name of this lobby manager? Where is he now?" Hua Yu asked while looking at the lively auction below the stage.

"He should be in his office! As for his name, I just remember that my fifth uncle always called him Mr. Zhang." Yin Nanfeng looked at Hua Yu innocently.

"Uncle Yu, you haven't told me what these temporary items are." Yin Nanfeng sat on the armrest, holding Hua Yu's hand tightly, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Your surname is Zhang! Where was your fifth uncle rescued?"

"It seems to be the Sand City!" Yin Nanfeng suddenly thought of something, covered his mouth and looked at Hua Yu, "It can't be..."

Hua Yu sneered, "Who else would be so obsessed with other people's things? Apart from that bunch of rats, who else could use such a despicable method to get in here?"

Xie Yuchen also sneered, "What a nest of snakes and rats! Dad, do you want me to take people over now?"

Hua Yu waved her hand, "Since they came in this way, they must have made perfect preparations. We don't need to alert them first, lest they take advantage of the situation."

Hua Yu asked the two of them to come closer and hear the changes in Yin Nanfeng and Xie Yuchen's anger at the beginning and their looks of watching the show now, everything was self-explanatory.

"Daddy is still the awesome one!" Xie Yuchen gave a thumbs up.

"Nanfeng, just continue to pretend that you don't know. When you go out later, look sad and don't let anyone notice anything. After all, he has lived many more years than you. You must be careful when you are around him in the future." Hua Yu carefully warned Yin Nanfeng.

"Uncle Yu, don't worry!"

After Yin Nanfeng and Hua Yu finished their security, they left the box with their men. The people watching secretly found that the head of the Crescent Hotel had red eyes and a sad face.

Yin Nanfeng turned around, raised her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and after calming down, she was once again the noble and elegant head of the Crescent Hotel in front of outsiders.
