Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Poisonous Tea

Yu Li quickly had her subordinates investigate the truck driver’s home, where they found a large sum of cash.

The police also checked the truck driver’s phone and restored the messages he had deleted, discovering important clues.

As expected, someone had instructed the guy to park the truck at the intersection, precisely to wait for the Cayenne to pass by!

No longer hesitating, Yu Li immediately called Yang Yu, "Yang Yu, where are you?"

"I’m at Yuxiu Auction House." Yang Yu, guessing that Yu Li must be asking about his car accident, stepped out of the private room to answer the call. "Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen’s mother, is attending today’s auction, but her bodyguard had to go home for some urgent matter, so I am picking her up today."

"Oh." Yu Li continued, "From the Shen Family to Yuxiu Auction House, Taida South Road is the necessary route; did you drive through that road?"

"No," replied Yang Yu. "I know fortune-telling, and I saw that Mrs. Shen was fated to encounter a bloody disaster today, and the southwest direction was extremely ominous, so I took a detour."

Yu Li then asked, "Does anyone know you took a detour?"

"I called Mr. Shen first thing, and asked him to have someone investigate, to see who was trying to harm Mrs. Shen." Yang Yu didn’t hide anything because he knew there was no need to lie.

If he needed to lie, Shen Silin would have called him earlier with instructions.

If he misspoke now, it would be troublesome when his statement didn’t match later.

Yu Li hadn’t expected Yang Yu to be so cooperative, and for a moment, she didn’t know what else to ask.

"It seems that Yang Yu isn’t involved in this matter; it’s all Shen Silin’s doing," Yu Li muttered with furrowed brows. "This woman’s tactics are not to be underestimated!"

"The auction has started, Captain Yu, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up." Without waiting to see if Yu Li had more questions, Yang Yu hung up and returned to the private room.

"That kid!" Yu Li muttered to herself, then continued with her investigation.

She understood that someone had dumped the truck driver’s body to compel the police to find the mastermind behind the truck driver.

However, for the other party to murder and discard the body was excessively audacious.

She couldn’t swallow her indignation until she brought them to justice!

The auction began, and a curvaceous female auctioneer in a red Cheongsam with a high slit appeared before the crowd, all smiles, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first antique we are auctioning today is a Golden Phoenix Crown once worn by an Empress. According to research, this phoenix crown is over a thousand years old, dating back to the Tang Period of Xia Country."

No sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking than the spotlight shone on the Golden Phoenix Crown on the auction stage.

In that instant, the Golden Phoenix Crown emitted a golden halo, spectacularly beautiful, eliciting gasps from the audience: "So beautiful!"

The display was very successful, and the auctioneer was very pleased: "The starting price is ten million, with bids increasing by five hundred thousand each time, starting now!"

"Eleven million!"

"Thirteen million!"

"Fourteen million!"

In less than a minute, the Golden Phoenix Crown was bid up to twenty million!

Mrs. Shen was also prepared to bid, when Yang Yu suddenly asked, "Mrs. Shen, how can we be sure that these auction items are authentic? What if they are fakes?"

Mrs. Shen, pleased by Yang Yu’s eagerness to learn, replied, "Before auctioning these items, Yuxiu Auction House conducts appraisals to guarantee authenticity. If a counterfeit is sold, they are willing to compensate threefold; the reputation of Yuxiu Auction House is certainly reliable."

"I see." Having got his answer, Yang Yu didn’t bother asking more, and simply lay back on the sofa in the private room, resting with his eyes closed.

Though his physical and mental stamina were very strong, sleeping still helped him replenish his energy.

Mrs. Shen’s attention was entirely on the auction item, and she did not pay any attention to Yang Yu, "Twenty-three million!"

This was the Empress’s Golden Phoenix Crown, and Mrs. Shen wanted to experience what it felt like to wear it.

Besides, the antique itself was invaluable, and buying it would definitely be worthwhile.

Ever since her husband had died, she had immersed herself in collecting antique calligraphy and paintings.

She had to get her hands on this phoenix crown!

But it wasn’t only her eyeing this crown; other guests were interested too, and the price quickly rose to thirty million.

Although Mrs. Shen liked it, after looking at the auction price, she ultimately had to give up.

Her purpose today was to secure the last auction item, starting at one hundred million, and there would surely be many bidders, so she needed to save some money.

"Thirty million once, thirty million twice, thirty million three times!" The female auctioneer picked up her gavel and sealed the deal, "Congratulations to Mr. Sun in box thirty-six!"

The auction continued, and Yang Yu dozed off for a bit until he smelled something odd.

The scent was very faint, imperceptible to the average person.

But Yang Yu’s senses were far beyond ordinary people now, and although the scent might fool others, it definitely couldn’t fool him!

"Mrs. Shen, Mr. Yang, please have some tea." A waitress brought in two cups of tea and placed them on the table.

Mrs. Shen casually picked up the tea, ready to drink it, but Yang Yu quickly grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Shen’s face immediately darkened, "Kid, what are you up to?"

"Mrs. Shen, wait a moment." Yang Yu took the tea cup from Mrs. Shen’s hand and then released her wrist, "Miss, may I ask, did you personally make this tea and bring it here?"

The waitress shook her head, "No, it was Manager Yue who asked me to bring it over."

Yang Yu said, "Could you please call Manager Yue here?"

"Oh, alright." The waitress left for a moment, and soon a man in his thirties walked in, with a professionally courteous smile, "Mrs. Shen, did you need something?"

"Manager Yue, right? I wanted to see you." Yang Yu looked Manager Yue up and down, "The tea you gave us contains deadly poison."

"Deadly poison?" Manager Yue became furious, "You’re slandering me! I personally made that tea!"

"Deadly poison?" Mrs. Shen was also bewildered, "Yang Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I’m not talking nonsense," Yang Yu picked up the tea and offered it to Manager Yue, "If Manager Yue doesn’t believe it, try a sip for yourself."

"Fine, I’ll try!" Manager Yue took the tea, about to gulp it down, but Yang Yu grabbed his wrist, "It seems it wasn’t Manager Yue’s doing. Don’t drink it, Manager Yue, go find a stray cat or dog to try this tea instead!"

Manager Yue furiously asked, "What are you trying to pull now?"

Yang Yu looked serious, "I want Manager Yue to realize that if I hadn’t stopped you from drinking the tea, you might have lost your life just now."

"Crazy!" Manager Yue was infuriated and cursed at Yang Yu.

However, he still had someone fetch a cat, after all, Yang Yu was Mrs. Shen’s man, and he did not want to offend her.

Yang Yu put the cup up to the stray cat’s mouth, and the cat immediately licked it a few times.

"Meow—" In less than ten seconds, the stray cat let out a sharp scream and fell to the ground, with black blood oozing from its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth!
