Chapter 85: Investigation

From a point of value, this batch of goods was not of great value. However, the Wu Family couldn't lose their face. Hence, they released a mission in the Wu Family. The remuneration alone accounted for 70% of the value of the goods. Adding to the cost of meals and dressing for the disciples carrying out this mission, the Wu's cost was over the value of this batch of goods.
”Zhonghe Prefecture? It belongs to Qianzhou. It takes at least 10 days to walk there. Could this be considered as traveling in the world? The feeling is quite refreshing. Even though Jin Nanqing is one of the ugliest amongst the inner core disciples, he definitely is either number one or two in terms of cunningness. I have to be extremely careful on the road not to be betrayed by him!”
Junior Leopard was thinking in his heart. Jin Nanqing was a character amongst the inner core disciples. He had met him some times. When meeting, both of them were very kind, but nobody knew what he was thinking about.
...
...
Wu Yuntian had a bad temper recently.
No matter who was robbed of a batch of goods, he would be irritable. Furthermore, if this batch of goods contained his secret that couldn't be spoken of, then that irritableness was tinged with a little fear.
”Damn it, who the hell did it? You've been investigating for so long. Is there any news?”
Wu Yuntian roared furiously, saliva flying everywhere. The table in front of him had already been smashed to pieces by him. From another perspective, it also revealed his outstanding palm technique.
”Sorry, I am useless and I deserve to die. Until now there're still no clues, but there's one point which has been confirmed!”
The first one among the five or six the Wu's disciples who knelt on the ground answered carefully.
”What have you confirmed?”
”This has no link with the few heads of Dong Ling. When it happened, they were drinking at Prunus Tower!”
”I know that, they invited me!” Wu Yuntian roared, ”Apart from that, what else have you investigated?”
”No, no, nothing else.”
The first man kneeling on the ground shook hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He thought, ”Of course I know that you were drinking with them at that time. It's just that I can't find out any other information!”
”Butler, what about reporting to the government?”
”Clatter!” Wu Yuntian kicked the table that he smashed and made it flying. The splinters of the table flew everywhere, just like raindrops falling on the people kneeling on the ground.
”Bastard, do you think that the government doesn't know about this matter? Report it? Don't tell me that you wish for the whole Zhonghe Prefecture to see me make a fool of myself? Useless things, get out, get out!”
The few people did not dare to speak anymore, they all scrambled and ran out of the living room and disappeared in seconds.
”I really raised this group of useless things for nothing. At the critical moment, no one can help me!” Upon seeing those people scrambling to escape, Wu Yuntian was raged. Raising his hand to slap the table, he then realized that the table had been kicked away by him. Thus he could only viciously slap his thigh with a face full of hatred.
”Butler Wu, Butler Wu!”
With those few people having left for only a short while, a person outside the door was scrambling and rushing in.
”What are you panicking for? I am not dead yet!” When Wu Yuntian saw the frantic expression of that person, his face became solemn all of a sudden, and he shouted sternly.
”No, no, it... it's...” That person was out of breath. After a long time, he couldn't manage to speak a single sentence.
”What is it?”
”My name is Jin Nanqing. Following the orders of the Family Head, I've come here to be assigned by Butler Wu!”
Before the man answered, there was a clear voice outside. It was Jin Nanqing.
The moment Wu Yuntian heard this voice, his expression immediately changed. He warmly went up and invited him, ”It's nephew Jin. You're rare visitor. Why didn't you tell me about your visit beforehand?”
”Butler Wu is too courteous. This time I am under the orders of the Family Head to come here to be assigned by you. The situation is serious, if I make any mistakes, please forgive me!”
Following the words, Jin Nanqing, Junior Leopard and the rest walked in.
After meeting Wu Yuntian, there was inevitably some chit-chat and introductions made to each other.
