"What!" Xiao Mingyan, who was in the first row, stood up suddenly.

The entire auction venue was in chaos, with everyone talking about it, unsure whether it was true or not.

Several owners of the auction items were about to rush out, "Is my Tiangong Stone still there?!"

Xiao Mingyan gave the staff a look and they immediately blocked the door.

"Everyone, please be patient. Our staff will verify it right away!"

The auctioneer and the host both spoke out to comfort him, while Xiao Mingyan went out to verify the situation. Were all the items really missing?

How can it be!

As he just walked out of the venue, he almost bumped into Gu Xiaoyue who was coming back from the bathroom.

Xiao Mingyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did classmate Gu do just now?"

Gu Xiaoyue was confused, "Go to the bathroom, President Xiao, what's the tone of your voice?"

Xiao Mingyan snorted and didn't answer her, and went straight to the auction booth.

Gu Xiaoyue followed immediately.

When they saw the empty crystal booths one by one, Xiao Mingyan's eyes became bloodshot.

All the lots have disappeared!

"Where are my treasures, the Huayu Fruit, the Soul Fruit, and my Tianling Fruit?

"Xiao Mingyan, explain this to me! How could this auction item disappear out of thin air? Did your Xiao family organize this auction just to enrich themselves?"

Gu Xiaoyue screamed in shock. She no longer cared about her ladylike image. She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Xiao Mingyan's nose with the other.

Her shouting spread throughout the venue, and everyone wanted to come out to see what was going on.

How can the staff control so many people?

The holders of Tiangong Stone and Jinzhi Grass were also furious and went to Xiao Mingyan to ask for an explanation.

"If you, the Xiao family, don't hold an auction if you don't have the strength! I don't care, but someone has to compensate for my golden grass!"

"My Heavenly Stone! Give it back to me!"

The owner of the Tiangong Stone was called Sun Chao, a man with a bad temper. He grabbed Xiao Mingyan by the collar.

The staff nearby wanted to pull him away, but Sun Chao was quite strong and three or five staff members couldn't pull him away.

The scene became even more chaotic now, except for the owner of the Immortal-level pet egg who did not come out to cause trouble.

Gu Xiaoyue was certain that this immortal pet egg was the bait that Xiao Mingyan used to lure her into the trap.

What a coincidence! If there were only fairy-grade pet eggs, Gu Xiaoyue would not have come. She came for the Hanjiang Grass and Jinzhi Grass.

Xiao Mingyan, who had been pulled by the collar for a long time, became anxious. He exerted force to push Sun Chao away and yelled at Gu Xiaoyue.

"She! She was the only one not at the meeting at the time. It must have been her who did it!"

The scene immediately fell silent for a few seconds, followed by another round of discussion.

"Why is President Xiao desperate to seek medical help? How could this little girl have done this?"

"I think these are all his excuses. It's possible that the Xiao family is stealing from the company!"

Xiao Mingyan's eyes were red as he pointed at those who said bad things about the Xiao family, "Don't leave! How can you criticize my Xiao family!"

Gu Xiaoyue crossed her arms across her chest, looking a bit like a rogue, "President Xiao, you need evidence to speak!

I just went to the bathroom. Does that make me a thief?

Although there is no surveillance camera inside the bathroom, there is one at the bathroom door. You can check the surveillance camera to see if I am still in the bathroom!"

"Hmph..." Xiao Mingyan sneered, "I'm afraid you have invisibility skills or a pet, so the surveillance cameras won't be able to capture it!"

Xiao Yun told him this. She went back and thought about it for a long time, wondering why Chu Li and Gu Xiaoyue suddenly appeared in her private dormitory.

The only possibility is that Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li have stealth skills or invisible pets!

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoyue to refute, Sun Chao yelled, "Nonsense!

Even if this little girl can become invisible, isn't your booth known to isolate mental forces and be connected to an alarm system?

How can she take things from the air? "

Gu Xiaoyue was secretly happy, but her face showed an aggrieved expression, "President Xiao, you can't do this, I risked my life to get those treasures!"

Someone nearby also started to make a fuss, “If we can’t find the perpetrator, we shouldn’t arbitrarily frame someone.

Chairman Xiao should pay the star coins first and then investigate the perpetrator."

The people around agreed that they should compensate the other party with star coins first.

After all, it was because they trusted the auction held by the Xiao family that they put the treasure up for auction.

Xiao Mingyan's face turned black. He tried hard to maintain his gentle demeanor, but under the pressure of public opinion, he still chose to compensate the owner of the auction item according to the price.

He roared in his heart, you only lost a little thing, but he lost an immortal-level pet egg!

The holder of Hanjiang Grass and Jinzhi Grass received 4 million star coins, two stalks of Hanjiang Grass, and two stalks of Jinzhi Grass.

Sun Chao received 8 million star coins and turned around to leave.

The staff stopped him and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you can't leave for now. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Sun Chao pointed at the staff member's nose and cursed, "Your grandfather has been in the backstage the whole time and has never come out. You want me to cooperate with the investigation? What are you investigating?

You guys do your investigation, I'm going to go on my own, why are you stopping me?"

Gu Xiaoyue received compensation for materials and star coins for two portions of marrow cleansing spring water, a total of 9 million.

She comforted Sun Chao, "Don't be angry, senior. This is their work process. Let's try our best to cooperate."

Sun Chao was very dissatisfied. He snorted loudly and went back to the inner field with the others.

He Zhichen and his bodyguards moved closer to Gu Xiaoyue until they were beside her, "Is classmate Gu okay?"

Gu Xiaoyue smiled at him and shook her head gently.

Everyone sat back in the meeting room, and the staff went to retrieve the surveillance footage of the time of the incident.

Several troublesome bidders clamored for Xiao Mingyan to disclose the surveillance footage.

Since their movements are restricted, they naturally have the right to view surveillance footage together.

Xiao Mingyan released the surveillance video on the big screen in the conference hall.

There are 12 surveillance cameras outside, and 12 small screens appear simultaneously on the big screen.

The surveillance camera clearly captured Gu Xiaoyue entering the bathroom.

Within the next minute, the items in the crystal booth disappeared one by one!

Then came the scene where someone discovered that the auction items had disappeared and Gu Xiaoyue came out of the bathroom.

Xiao Mingyan said to Gu Xiaoyue, "Student Gu, what do you have to say?"

Gu Xiaoyue sat there calmly and didn't say a word.

Ye Wanrou and Lin Zhiyi spoke first, "Everyone saw my Xiaoyue go into the bathroom. What is there to say?"

"That's right, President Xiao, are you going to pin the charges on Xiao Yue?"

Xiao Mingyan didn't respond. He continued to play the surveillance videos over and over again with a gloomy face, hoping to find some clues from these 12 surveillance videos.

It was almost ten o'clock and many people could no longer sit still.

An old man twisted his beard and analyzed objectively: "Although there is only this little girl in the surveillance video, the problem is that the perpetrator seems to be very powerful.

Not only can he become invisible, but his ability can even ignore the isolation of the crystal booth. I'm afraid he fled the scene as soon as he got the treasure!"

Everyone nodded, and Sun Chao stood up and shouted, "The perpetrator has run away, Xiao Mingyan, why are you locking us up here?!"

Gu Xiaoyue said quietly, "President Xiao, do you still want to pin the blame on me?

Then you have to produce evidence so that I can confess my guilt willingly!"
