Chapter 21: Presumptuous Attendant

Lu Feng was familiar with this demeaning look of disregard. Housekeeper Liu quickly raised his voice, “What are you guys looking at, have you never met the Young Master before?” Those attendants reluctantly called out, “Young Master.”

Lu Feng had a faint smile on his face. While Housekeeper Liu turned towards Lu Feng, “Young Master, what should do we do about them?” Lu Feng replied, “How about you come up with a punishment?” Housekeeper Liu affirmatively responded, “Just sack them.”

Those attendants were all shocked, they didn’t think he would be so harsh. They were quickly begging for mercy, since they knew Housekeeper Liu had the authority to dismiss them. Seeing this, Lu Feng wryly smiled, “Don’t worry, I have something to ask of them.”

Curious, Housekeeper Liu asked Lu Feng, “Young Master, what do you want to ask?” Lu Feng did not directly answer him as he turned to the attendants, “So speak up, why is this place in such a state?”

Those attendants reluctantly looked at each other and shut their mouths tightly. Housekeeper Liu flared up, “The Young Master asked you a question, you still dare to dally?” Those attendants all suddenly had a complete change in att.i.tude, one of them even hastily said, “We think it was a robbery, when we came it was already like this.”

Housekeeper Liu was aghast, “What? A robbery? Who has the guts to steal our things?” They wore clueless expressions, while Lu Feng did not say anything. He was looked around before turning, “Housekeeper Liu, calculate the prices for these items and then deduct twice the amount from their wages.”

Everyone almost fell down when they heard this, the attendants turned red from anger. One of them shouted, “What is the meaning of this?” Lu Feng faced him with a predatory glint in his eyes, “What? Why did you stop calling me Young Master? So violent…”

That attendant angrily continued, “You have no reason to punish us, yet still give us trouble. Yet you still want me to politely call you Young Master?”

As the other attendants one by one expressed their anger, one attendant spoke up, “Let me tell you something, we are the Bai family’s attendants not your lackies for you to bully.” Lu Feng looked at their clamouring as he asked, “Are you all done?”

The attendants had already vented their anger, they wanted to see how Lu Feng would reply. Lu Feng turned to look at Shopkeeper Fang and Housekeeper Liu, “Everyone take a close look, these things are only messed up. There isn’t anything that is stolen.”

Shopkeeper Fang was a veteran, he knew what was missing or was too many, since they were in charge of the shop’s stock. That’s why he and Housekeeper Liu took a quick glance.

After they finished surveying the surroundings, Housekeeper Liu frowned, “There really is nothing missing.” Shopkeeper Fang also agreed. “Definitely, everything is just in chaos. Nothing was stolen.”

Those attendants were immediately unnerved, Lu Feng was smiling, “So gentlemen, didn’t you say a thief was here? Then tell me, what did he steal? And you still want to say you’re not guilty.”

The complexion of the attendants quickly changed, there were even people who s.h.i.+vered. There were some who shamelessly reb.u.t.ted, “Maybe they didn’t come to steal but came to sabotage?” Lu Feng laughed, “Sabotage? Then why didn’t they set everything on fire instead.”
