The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 692 - 680

The person in charge was surprised to hear that the Heavenly Stone was fake, although whether that surprise was genuine or not was questionable. Anyway, it looked pretty convincing.

Qiao Qiqi kept her eyes fixed on the person in charge, yet she hadn’t spoken a word. Instead, it was Rong Yuan and Gu Lizhe who were talking.

Rong Yuan and Gu Lizhe represented the prestigious families of the Capital City Rong Family and Gu Family, and were not to be trifled with. The organizers needed to weigh whether they could afford to offend them.

Moreover, if this incident was true, their reputation would be utterly ruined!

Qiao Qiqi felt something wasn’t quite right.

The person in charge had already reported the situation, waiting for a response from above.

"I think you should keep an eye on everyone who has handled it in the meantime!" Qiao Qiqi coldly reminded.

Damn, who is the rookie here? Do they need her to say this?

"The young lady is right, I’ll immediately have someone take control of them," the person in charge quickly ordered.

Rong Yuan and Gu Lizhe were also quite speechless.

Within five minutes, a subordinate quickly ran over to report, "Brother Zhao, Xiao Lin who was responsible for delivering the item is missing!"

Qiao Qiqi’s gaze turned sharp as she looked at the person in charge, "It seems it’s your people who have caused the problem here. If I don’t get the Heavenly Stone today, I’ll tear apart this lousy ship of yours!"

The person in charge frowned and his eyes showed disdain. He certainly didn’t think a plain-looking little girl had the capability.

"Get off your ass and find him now! If you can’t retrieve the Heavenly Stone, you’re finished!" Gu Lizhe angrily gave the person in charge a shove.

Rong Yuan was also burning with anger, but this was not the time to waste words with this person. The person who switched the Heavenly Stone needs to be found, and the Heavenly Stone recovered.

After questioning the people with Xiao Lin, it was reported that he vanished about ten minutes ago. Ten minutes isn’t a long time, but the vast sea with its myriad paths makes finding someone uncertain.

After a thorough search, it was confirmed that Xiao Lin had indeed escaped by taking a boat’s lifeboat.

Qiao Qiqi and Rong Yuan were growing anxious, just as they prepared to personally take a lifeboat to search for him, suddenly, someone attacked them.

Rong Yuan swiftly sidestepped to avoid the blow and kicked his attacker away.

He was terrified out of his wits, not for himself, but for fear that Qiao Qiqi might be in danger.

Qiao Qiqi naturally wouldn’t be caught off guard by such an attack. She dodged it skillfully, but soon more people came to assault the siblings.

Rong Yuan and Qiao Qiqi turned to stand back-to-back and began to fight off the attackers.

"Excuse us, but we have no choice. Nobody wished for this incident, yet it cannot be let out! If it gets out, our reputation will be ruined, and our boss’s business will be destroyed; our lives won’t be spared either!" the person in charge said coldly, with a sneer.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll first clean up the entrance for your boss!" Qiao Qiqi was truly furious now. They carelessly lost the auction item but still dared to silence witnesses! Absolutely inhumane.

Apparently, this guy has done this sort of thing more than a few times.

As someone swung a stick at her, Qiao Qiqi snatched it away, and with immense speed, charged towards the person in charge!

The person in charge was startled and quickly reached for his weapon, but as soon as he did, he found his hand empty.

The next moment, something hard and cold pressed against his head.
