From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 79 - : He Didn’t Want to Be Seen
Chapter 79: Chapter 79: He Didn’t Want to Be Seen
Lu Yanchuan was bare-chested, and under the light, one could see a patch of redness on his arm, but luckily, it wasn’t a large burn.
“I’ll take you to the hospital!”
Qiao Yi carefully examined Lu Yanchuan’s arm, where the traces of acid corrosion near the door remained, still hissing and fizzling out.
If Lu Yanchuan hadn’t reacted in time just now, he would probably not be in much better shape than that door!
Yet, even just a bit of sulfuric acid splashing on his arm had already burned a large red patch on it.
“Let’s deal with the situation here first.”
...
Lu Yanchuan patted Qiao Yi’s hand twice and was ready to walk out half-naked.
“Wait!”
Qiao Yi stopped Lu Yanchuan, looked around the private room, and finally set her eyes on the shawl hanging to one side.
“You are the distinguished Mr. Lu, how can you walk out so bare! Those women, hungry like wolves and tigers, if they saw you, they would devour you whole!”
Qiao Yi just didn’t want others to see Lu Yanchuan! In a few swift motions, she wrapped the pearly white shawl around Lu Yanchuan, avoiding the wounds. It looked somewhat indecent, but at least it covered all the necessary areas securely.
In the corridor outside, one could faintly hear a man’s wails. The news of Lu Yanchuan being splashed with acid in the No.1 private room spread quickly, and many people were sneakily glancing in that direction, curious about what had happened.
When Lu Yanchuan wrapped in the shawl appeared, the onlookers outside quieted down simultaneously.
Some noticed the acid burn on his arm, but more people were focused on Lu Yanchuan’s strange attire.
Mr. Lu was indeed Mr. Lu; even under the gaze of so many curious eyes, he was still unfazed as ever.
The person in charge of the auction house hurried over, and upon seeing the chaos at the doorway to the No.1 private room, Manager Wang’s vision darkened.
Regardless of who was inside the No.1 private room, they were people too significant for their auction house to provoke!
Such an incident was practically a death sentence!
When Manager Wang saw Lu Yanchuan walking out unscathed, he was so relieved he nearly fainted, having prepared himself for the worst-case scenario — thankfully, fortune favored him.
“Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, are you alright? I’ll call an ambulance right away!”
Manager Wang rushed forward excitedly. Qiao Yi blocked the distance between Manager Wang and Lu Yanchuan, paying no heed to the agitated crowd around her, and took Lu Yanchuan over to the man lying motionless on the ground.
“I’ve already asked Ma Yu to bring people here, don’t worry.”
The man had bloodstains on his thighs, and on both sides were small silver hairpins. It was these hairpins that rendered him immobile.
Lu Yanchuan looked at Qiao Yi’s hair and saw that two hairpins were missing from behind her head, and two strands of hair were lightly falling down, as if something had struck his heart.
Manager Wang cautiously followed behind, not daring to speak in front of Lu Yanchuan, especially seeing that Lu Yanchuan didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
More and more people gathered in the corridor, with Manager Wang anxiously rubbing his hands, worried the situation would escalate.
“Mr. Lu, this incident was an oversight on our auction house’s part, we will surely provide a reasonable explanation to you. Do you think perhaps we should…”
“Mr. Wang, you indeed need to thoroughly investigate this matter. However, we will take this person with us for now. After you find any useful information, contact me then.”
—
Qiao Yi blocked Mr. Wang, her words sounded nice, but wasn’t it just to shut them up, not wanting them to spread the incident!
The patrons from the second floor who weren’t just minor powers saw that there was no excitement here and went back to their private rooms.
Qiao Yi actually wanted to go to the hospital with Lu Yanchuan, but Lu Yanchuan insisted on waiting for Ma Yu to arrive, and she didn’t know what he was so adamant about.
Gong Zhe stood behind the crowd with a face full of complex and entangled emotions.

He had just sent Gong Ting away, and then this incident occurred; could it be that Gong Ting did it?
If it were found out that it was indeed Gong Ting, even though his Gong Family could do as they pleased in Tian City, they would still be no match for a single hand of the Lu Family!
Gong Zhe was anxious to get in touch with Gong Ting, but just at this time, she wouldn’t answer her phone, which made his heart feel extremely uneasy.
Finally, Gong Ting answered the call, yet from the other side of the phone blasted deafening music.
“Where are you! Why aren’t you going home!”
Gong Zhe roared into the phone, whether Gong Ting on the other end could hear him or not, she yelled a few times and then hung up the phone without caring whether Gong Zhe heard her clearly or not.
Although Gong Ting not returning home made Gong Zhe very angry, he felt relieved in his heart; thankfully, she wasn’t the one who did it, or else the trouble would be huge!
When Ma Yu received the call and learned that Lu Yanchuan almost had his face ruined by sulphuric acid, he was so scared that he nearly had a breakdown.
To attend an auction, how could someone bring sulphuric acid!
On the way there, he didn’t know how many red lights he ran through, but finally, he arrived at the auction house as fast as he could, and when he saw Lu Yanchuan, his heart, which had been wildly pounding, almost cried out in relief.
Thank god he was alright!
“Take the person in the hallway outside back, investigate thoroughly who made him throw the sulphuric acid.”
After such a long time had passed, Qiao Yi also calmed down, using the medical kit prepared by the auction house to give Lu Yanchuan a simple bandage, waiting for Ma Yu and his men to drag the man away, then she pulled Lu Yanchuan to go to the hospital for proper treatment.
Such an incident occurred, forcing the auction to be suspended; those in the lower seats who didn’t know what happened upstairs started to get restless after some well-informed people brought back news of the accident.
“Someone actually brought sulphuric acid to the auction! They definitely didn’t have good intentions right from the start!”
A few people beside were discussing this matter, and after Qiao Xin went to the restroom and came back, she found the auction inexplicably stopped. Upon hearing that Lu Yanchuan was injured, she immediately became worried.
“Lu Yanchuan is injured? What exactly happened?”
Qiao Xin returned to Lu Ming’s side, grabbing his hand and questioning.
“I’m not sure, it seems someone threw sulphuric acid on Lu Yanchuan, but the person was caught, and now they are investigating who instigated it.”
Lu Ming didn’t care at all, even feeling somewhat regretful; why was that person so useless, even letting Lu Yanchuan dodge it!
Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief; it was good as long as Lu Yanchuan wasn’t in trouble.
However, she lost interest in the auction and sat restlessly, wanting to go upstairs to see Lu Yanchuan’s situation.
Just as Qiao Xin couldn’t bear it and was about to leave her seat, Xing Yue appeared once again on the auction stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for wasting your time, our auction will now continue!”
