Chapter 67: This Is Your Aunt
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the Thunder God Bead landed in Shen Chun’s hand, it revealed a trace of gentle spiritual energy, as if it was wheedling with Shen Chun.
The corners of Shen Chun’s lips curled up as she placed the Thunder God Bead in the box. Then, she looked at Fu Qing and said, “I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. You wanted to swap the Thunder God Bead after failing to win it. If Sr. He hadn’t helped me today, not only would I have to suffer in silence, but the reputation of Sr. He’s auction would have also been implicated by you.”
Fu Qing couldn’t afford to offend Sr. He, so she panicked and hurriedly asked the voice in her heart.
“It’s all your fault. What should we do now?!”
“What are you panicking for?! No one saw you swap this lousy bead, so just deny it!” As she spoke, her dark gaze landed on Shen Chun. “Let that little b*tch be smug for a while longer. I’ll deal with her sooner or later. Her face will definitely improve your looks.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Qing’s expression softened a little. Then, she pretended to be calm and said, “Stop slandering me! This thing was personally handed to me by the auctioneer. How could I have the chance to swap it in front of everyone? I think the Thunder God Bead and I are fated. Even if I didn’t win it, it came to me.”
“That’s right!” Although Lin Huai didn’t understand what had happened, he echoed Fu Qing’s words. “You want to buy the Thunder God Bead for too million? With your sincerity, why would the Thunder God Bead leave with you?!”
The two of them spoke one after another. In the end, they even told Sr. He to hand the Thunder God Bead to them.
Shen Chun looked at them mockingly and couldn’t help but sneer. “Miss Fu, have you forgotten that there’s something called surveillance cameras? Wouldn’t we know if you did it or not if we checked the surveillance cameras?”
“That’s right. We can just check the surveillance cameras.” Song Han immediately arranged for two people to check the surveillance cameras here.
In an instant, Fu Qing’s face turned pale. She knew that everyone had been trapped in the illusion just now, so they didn’t know that the auctioneer had handed the Thunder God Bead to her directly. However, mechanical things like surveillance cameras wouldn’t be deceived by the illusion.
“What should we do?!” Fu Qing called out to that woman crazily. If she offended Sr. He, the Fu family would definitely abandon her.
“What are you panicking for?! Just create another illusion later and make people think that everything is fine!” The woman’s voice was filled with impatience. “Idiot, if not for the fact that I had no other choice back then, how could I have possessed you?”
Fu Qing hated hearing such words the most and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes, but she suppressed it.
“I got it.”
The surveillance footage was quickly pulled out and played on the big screen of the auction.
Everything was normal in the beginning, but soon, it was time for the auctioneer to change the Thunder God Bead. Fu Qing clenched her fists and stared at the screen without blinking.
The footage continued to be played on the screen. It was already time for the auctioneer to change the Thunder God Bead. Fu Qing held her breath as she stared at the scene on the screen. Fortunately, everything was going according to the public’s memories.
Fu Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to retract her gaze, the scene on the screen changed.
Everyone watched as the auctioneer swapped the items and handed the Thunder God Bead to Fu Qing.
However, no one had any impression of this matter.
“What’s going on? Is the surveillance footage real? Why don’t I remember this happening?”
“How can we not notice such obvious actions? Besides, the auctioneer has been with Sr. He for so many years. How could she do such a thing that would ruin his reputation?”
“The surveillance footage should be real. Otherwise, how can we explain why the Thunder God Bead fell into Fu Qing’s hands? However, her methods are quite impressive. She actually tampered with all our memories.”
After the surveillance footage had finished playing, Sr. He looked at Fu Qing with a sharp gaze.
“Little Fu, explain yourself. You know that I can’t tolerate misconduct. You and the Fu family have to give me a reasonable explanation for this.”
“I…” Fu Qing’s face turned pale. As she looked around in a panic, she saw Fu Shi, who had pushed the door open.
She ran to Fu Shi desperately. “Uncle, you’re here! Help me explain to Sr. He.”
After Fu Shi glanced at her, he walked straight to Shen Chun. “Are you okay?”
Shen Chun held his hand intimately. “I’m fine, Hubby..”
