Chapter 404: Identity exposed?

"What a great opportunity this is. Do you know how powerful Master Shen is?"

"Everyone thought she had died in the explosion, but she turned out to be alive. She was fine. This is what a real boss is like."

"Don't you like studying these things? It's a good opportunity to meet her."

Su Xuan looked helpless, "Grandpa, what I love is science. Those gods and ghosts you mentioned are all feudal superstitions. I only believe in science."

"Then the end of science is still metaphysics!" Old Man Su advised earnestly, "You know Nian Nian, she was haunted by a water ghost two months ago, and she was almost abducted not long ago. It was Master Shen who saved her."

"Yesterday she saved another girl from our Su clan. This is such a great favor to our Su clan."

"Others can't curry favor with her even if they want to."

Su Xuan couldn't listen any longer and stopped talking immediately, "Grandpa, okay, okay, I'll go with you."

Only then did Old Man Su smile happily.

It would be great if Xuanxuan could catch Master Shen’s eye.

The day of the charity auction.

Chen Wan, wearing a dignified and elegant cheongsam, appeared at the auction venue like a lotus emerging from water.

The cheongsam is simple and elegant, soft and unobtrusive, yet attracts everyone's attention.

She stood out among the crowd of celebrities and dignitaries.

Su Nana saw her at a glance and flew over to her joyfully like a butterfly, "Master Shen!"

Shen Wan smiled faintly.

When Sunana saw her outfit, the amazement in her eyes became even stronger.

To attend such a top-notch dinner, everyone would put in a lot of effort to dress gorgeously.

Master Shen was different. She was wearing a plain cheongsam that exuded a cool and simple charm. She didn't even wear too many gorgeous decorations. She just had a wooden hairpin in her hair, which complemented the plain cheongsam and made her look even more fresh and refined.

"Master Shen, you look so beautiful today!" Su Nana admired her even more, her eyes filled with little stars.

Chen Wan smiled faintly, "I heard from your father that he wants me to help look at the auction items. Where are they?"

Su Nana quickly said, "I'm in the backstage. Master Shen, please follow me."

There is still some time before the auction starts.

All the auction items were ready in the backstage, waiting for Shen Wan to review them.

The auction items are rich and varied, and most commonly include artworks by well-known masters, which have extremely high artistic value and collection potential.

There are also many rare and unique jewellery items.

Chen Wan just glanced at these, and what was left were antiques and cultural relics.

Antiques and cultural relics are the focus of auctions. The auction prices are high, and the contributions to charity are the greatest.

Father Su came forward enthusiastically and said, "Master Shen, you are here. Everything is ready. These are antiques donated by dignitaries from all walks of life for auction. Please check if there is any dirt left."

Shen Wan glanced at the antique artifacts in the display cabinet.

"Some of them do have residual yin energy, but there is no evil spirit."

Father Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Master Shen is here, otherwise these negative energies would affect the recipient and that would be bad."

After Chen Wan dispelled the Yin energy from the antique artifacts that were contaminated with Yin energy one by one, his eyes fell on one of the artifacts.

Father Su smiled and said, "This antique porcelain was auctioned by Old Man Xiao. This is the most expensive of all the items. Master Shen really has a good eye."

Chen Wan: “…”

She took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Father Su. "Since I am attending a charity auction, I will not come empty-handed. This is a life-extending talisman. There is only one in the world. Even if the life span is over and the person has died, as long as the body is still there, it can lock the soul and extend the life for ten years. It will not be disturbed by diseases and will not be bound by cause and effect."

Upon hearing the introduction, Su's father's eyes widened, and he took it with both hands in ecstasy, his face full of excitement.

"Extend your life for ten years!"

"This is more valuable than any antique artifact!"

Yes, for mortal humans, nothing is more precious than living a little longer.

Especially the rich, they wish they could live longer.

Just like those top foreign dignitaries who will do anything to increase their lifespan, some use their own sons’ plasma for blood transfusions to delay aging and regain youthful vitality.

There are also injections of embryonic stem cells to make the body functions several years younger.

Once this life-extending talisman appears, even the top-notch antiques will pale in comparison.

I'm afraid everyone will go to the auction with all their might.

Father Su asked cautiously, "Master Shen, what is the appropriate starting price for this life-extending talisman?"

Shen Wan said calmly: “Whatever you want.”

Father Su took a deep breath. This was a bit difficult for him.

It can extend your life by ten years without any side effects, and you can even be resurrected after death. Think about it, who wouldn’t want it!

This must be a sky-high price!

Chen Wan and Su Nana came out from the backstage and just sat down after finding their seats.

There was a bustle at the entrance of the venue, and it was seen that it was Old Man Xiao who came, followed by Shen Qianxue, and many dignitaries came up to curry favor with him.

Old Master Xiao looked into the venue and saw Shen Wan sitting at the table. His kind face showed a little more excitement.

As expected, just as the intelligence indicated, Wanwan came to attend the charity dinner.

Shen Qianxue originally wanted to hold onto Mr. Xiao’s arm, but the old man just rubbed against her a few times and walked towards the inner court.

"Grandpa? Wait for me!"

Shen Qianxue, wearing a gorgeous evening gown, hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and chased after him.

Su Nana was sitting next to Shen Wan. When she saw Shen Qianxue appear, she couldn't help but sighed: "So this is Mr. Xiao's granddaughter. She is really beautiful, but..."

She frowned. "One of the themes of today's charity auction is to protect animals and boycott fur consumption. Why did she come wearing a mink cape? There are so many people in the Xiao family. Didn't anyone tell her?"

Shen Qianxue really didn’t know that there was an item about protecting animals at today’s charity dinner, and she specially chose a valuable mink shawl to put on her gorgeous evening dress.

As soon as she entered the venue, many people looked at her.

She thought it was her outfit today that amazed everyone and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

When Mr. Xiao arrived at the table and saw that his seat was right next to Shen Wan's, he couldn't help but smile and sat down happily.

"Chen Wan? Aren't you already--" Shen Qianxue came over and thought she saw a ghost when she saw Shen Wan.

At the Shen family mourning hall, she clearly saw Shen Wan appear in a ghost sedan chair.

Didn’t Chen Wan die and become a ghost?

How did you get here?

She is not dead!

Seeing that Mr. Xiao was sitting next to Shen Wan, Shen Qianxue was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

What if Chen Wan said something to the old man, wouldn't her identity be exposed?

Shen Qianxue quickly looked at Mr. Xiao.

Fortunately, Mr. Xiao did not react, and did not even look at Shen Wan. He just had a faint polite smile on his face.
