Chapter 1053 - 1049: Estimate the Psychological Shadow Area
Mu Chen had a bewildered expression.
"You are... President Tu Su. Why are you so angry? Is it about last night’s auction?"
Mu Chen did indeed receive an invitation to the Taoyao Pavilion auction.
But Mu Chen, being naturally carefree, barely managed to inherit the family business, let alone run something like Taoyao Pavilion.
So, after receiving the invitation, he tossed it aside and didn’t bother with it at all.
It’s just not attending an auction, does it really warrant such anger?
Anyone who didn’t know better might think they had some deep-seated hatred.
"You still have the face to speak! How dare you deceive me!"
Last night, after receiving twenty million silver notes, Tu Suxia was overjoyed.
To celebrate, he eagerly fulfilled his earlier promise.
He gave the girls and guys who didn’t want to stay a severance pay, and although it wasn’t as much as promised, each received thousands of taels.
But even counting in the severance pay, Tu Suxia still netted over 19 million taels of silver.
This morning, he took out those silver notes, intending to send them to the Black Brilliance Market, store them, and settle the auction fees with Hei Yao Castle.
Who would have thought, upon opening the box for the silver notes, Jiang Qing’s expression darkened.
He scolded Tu Suxia fiercely, saying all Tu Suxia gave him were joss paper.
Upon hearing this, Tu Suxia was dumbfounded, the silver notes were indeed all gone, and they had turned into a stack of joss paper.
The silver notes were given by Mu Chen last night, personally placed in the box by Tu Suxia, and he was sure that aside from himself, nobody else touched the box, and he still held the key.
Thinking it through, and recalling the ghost of the Taoyao Pavilion owner that appeared last night, Tu Suxia was sure it was Mu Chen’s doing.
"What, you say I spent twenty million taels to buy Taoyao Pavilion? Tu Suxia, are you still asleep? How could that old building be worth twenty million!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen was infuriated.
This Tu Suxia must be crazy about money!
"You still won’t admit it, with so many witnesses last night, almost a hundred guests can testify. They all heard it with their own ears, now in the city, who doesn’t know you, Mu Chen, spent twenty million to buy Taoyao Pavilion!"
Tu Suxia, seeing Mu Chen still not admitting, grew even more furious.
Mu Chen suddenly realized.
So that’s why Master Fang, Master Mo, and Murong Ziyue reacted this morning...
"I did not go to Taoyao Pavilion last night, stop making baseless accusations. I didn’t spend twenty million, someone must be impersonating me."
Mu Chen said through gritted teeth.
Who’s the scoundrel daring to harm him!
"You say impersonation? Over a hundred pairs of eyes can testify. Not to mention appearances, just the Ghost Control Technique, summoning the departed souls, who besides the Fengdong Mu Family can do that!"
Tu Suxia refused to listen to Mu Chen’s explanation, stubbornly insisting it was him.
Ghost Control Technique?
Mu Chen was taken aback.
Ghost Control Technique is indeed a unique skill of Fengdong.
But he has never used it in front of outsiders, as the Fengdong Mu Family has ancestral teachings not to recklessly use the Ghost Control Technique, or face backlash from a hundred ghosts if done carelessly.
Not many in this world dare to use the Ghost Control Technique recklessly.
Unless the other party is... Mu Chen thought of someone.
Corpse King!
It must be that guy!
It must be him framing and trapping me!
Twenty million taels, that scoundrel even used joss paper instead of silver notes, isn’t he just trying to ruin me!
Mu Chen was so angry he nearly spat blood, imagining the mental shadow he must have had.
