707 -705: Who Do You Think You Are?

[Fourth Update]

That night.

Xiao Yi was resting in his room when Tai Yun’s voice came from outside, “Young Master Xiao, the landlady invites you to come over!”

“Okay!”

Xiao Yi nodded, glanced at Little Lin resting on the bed, covered it with the blanket, and then left the room, following Tai Yun.

Shortly after Xiao Yi left…

Zhou Wulong quietly opened the door and entered, carefully slipping a storage ring under Xiao Yi’s pillow.

With a cold look at the pillow, Zhou Wulong’s face twisted sardonically, “Xiao Chen, oh Xiao Chen, do not blame me…”

Then Zhou Wulong quietly departed.

The entire room was silent, as if no one had ever come in.

Only…

Zhou Wulong didn’t realize that under that blanket, a pair of green eyes had seen everything he had done.

Little Lin crawled out from under the covers, took the storage ring from under the pillow, and revealed an anthropomorphic playful expression, “Interesting… seems like there will be a good show to watch later…”

…

Inside Chen Jing’s office.

Tai Shan was reporting the recent business operations of the commerce chamber when Xiao Yi came in, causing both Tai Shan and Chen Jing to stand up.

Smiling, Tai Shan said, “Brother Xiao, you really are lucky.

The Chai Family happens to have a banquet tomorrow night, hosting all the dignitaries of Giant Peak City. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

When I take my wife with me, getting a mining map should be no problem!”

Xiao Yi was stunned.

He didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, and after seeing Chen Jing nod, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect things to be this convenient, thanks to you both!”

“No need to thank us, you saved my wife, it’s the least we can do…” said Tai Shan quickly.

Chen Jing also smiled and nodded.

Just then…

Zhou Wulong rushed in from outside, his face extremely ugly as he said in a deep voice, “Chairman, there’s big trouble!”

“Hmm?”

Chen Jing was startled.

Acting displeased, Tai Shan scolded, “Leader Zhou, don’t you see we have a guest?

With you being so flustered, what if you offend our guest, can you bear the responsibility?”

Gulping for air, Zhou Wulong explained anxiously, “Vice Chairman, this concerns the life or death of our Titan Commerce Chamber.

I cannot afford to neglect it!”

“What?

What exactly happened that it even relates to the survival of the commerce chamber?” Tai Shan feigned surprise as he asked.

Chen Jing’s brows were tightly knit.

Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brows, feeling that something was off between Zhou Wulong and Tai Shan, as if they were performing a staged act.

Zhou Wulong said solemnly, “I was just checking the goods when I found that the five hundred catties of ‘Gengjin’ we were escorting for the Chai Family are missing!”

Hiss!

Chen Jing’s hands struck the table forcefully, her figure swayed, and her face turned a shade paler.

Tai Shan also showed an anxious look, roaring, “What is going on?

Those five hundred catties of ‘Gengjin’ belong to the Chai Family.

If we lose this shipment, and the Chai Family blames us, our Titan Commerce Chamber could be finished…”

The reason the Titan Commerce Chamber could suppress the other two chambers was that they had the support of the Chai Family behind them, didn’t they?

Making them unmatched in the mining industry?

If they lost the Chai Family’s support, the Titan Commerce Chamber really would be done for.

Chen Jing bit her lower lip, her face showing a serious look, “Have you figured out at which point the problem occurred?

I remember the storage ring with the ‘Gengjin’ was hidden inside the wheel of my carriage, how could it have been lost?”

Tai Shan’s face was gloomy, and his gaze inadvertently glanced in Xiao Yi’s direction, saying, “During the transportation, has anyone approached my sister-in-law’s carriage?”

“There is, but…”

Zhou Wulong’s face showed hesitation.

Tai Shan urged impatiently, “What time is it now?

What else do you have to hide?

Speak up quickly…”

Chen Jing stared at him intently.

Zhou Wulong put on a helpless expression and sighed, “During the whole transportation process, only two people approached that carriage.

One was Zhou Ku, but Zhou Ku was killed by Xiao Chen as soon as he got close to the carriage, so it couldn’t have been him.”

“Then who was the other person?” Tai Shan asked eagerly.

Chen Jing also calmed down and kept her eyes fixed on Zhou Wulong.

Zhou Wulong took a deep breath and pointed his finger at Xiao Yi, “Apart from Zhou Ku, it was only Xiao Chen who approached the carriage, and he even rode in that carriage all the way back.

With his strength, he could definitely take away the ‘Geng Gold’ without making a sound!”

“How could this be possible?”

Tai Shan pretended to hesitate, “Xiao Chen helped save my sister-in-law; he is a great benefactor to the Titan Commerce Chamber.

How could he do such a thing?”

Chen Jing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said, “Xiao Chen was meditating with his eyes closed the whole time, and I didn’t notice any abnormalities…”

Zhou Wulong forced a smile and said, “Madam, you are only at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak, while Young Master Xiao killed Zhou Ku with just a single move.

If he really lusted after that ‘Geng Gold,’ he could have easily taken it right under your nose without a sound…”

Tai Shan nodded and said, “I had felt it strange earlier how coincidental it was.

Just as Black Hawk Stronghold’s men made their move, you appeared there and without any hesitation killed Zhou Ku…”

Zhou Wulong suddenly understood as if he had an epiphany, “The vice-chairman is right, this is all too coincidental.

And Zhou Ku’s death, I even suspect some people killed him to silence him!”

“But…

Young Master Xiao shouldn’t be that kind of person…” Chen Jing said.

Tai Shan received the communication and replied, “Sister-in-law, you’re too kind.

You can know someone’s face but not their heart, and after all, that’s five hundred jins of ‘Geng Gold’!”

One jin of ‘Geng Gold’ costs one hundred million silver.

Five hundred jins!

That’s fifty billion!

Even for a Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouse, fifty billion silver is a massive sum.

The gazes of everyone present fell on Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

With things having reached this point, it was clear to him that this was most likely Zhou Wulong and Tai Shan framing him.

They were reversing the charges, not only accusing him of stealing the ‘Geng Gold’ but also pinning the Black Hawk Stronghold’s ambush on him.

Realizing all of this,

Xiao Yi looked at Tai Shan and Zhou Wulong with interest, a faint mocking smile curling at his lips.

He then turned his gaze to Chen Jing, “Chairman Chen also thinks I did it?”

Chen Jing opened her mouth to speak.

Influenced by Zhou Wulong and Tai Shan, she felt Xiao Yi’s arrival to be all too coincidental.

After hesitating, Chen Jing spoke in a heavy tone, “Xiao Yi, I believe you are innocent…

However, I need to give an accounting to the Chamber and the Chai Family.

Hand over all the storage treasures on you for us to examine.

To prove your innocence, how about that?”

Zhou Wulong nodded, “That’s right.

Just take out all the storage treasures you have on you for us to check.

If we don’t find the ‘Geng Gold,’ it will prove you’re innocent!

Otherwise…”

Tai Shan put on a well-meaning persuasion, “Brother Xiao, I believe you are innocent too.

Hand over the storage ring and the like for us to check, so everyone can be at ease!

What do you say?”

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a light tone, “What if I say no?”

“Xiao Yi!”

Chen Jing slammed her palm on the table, looking frustrated as if lamenting his obstinacy, and scolded, “Even if you won’t consider me, can’t you think of yourself?

You’re the main suspect now.

We just want to inspect your storage ring, if you’re innocent what’s there to fear?

Your refusal to be inspected now can only prove you have something to hide, which has already disappointed me greatly.

Please, don’t persist in your folly and make me despair even further, okay?”

With that said,

the office fell silent.

Zhou Wulong and Tai Shan looked at Xiao Yi with mocking smiles, their schadenfreude tinged with heavy sarcasm.

Under the scrutiny of several pairs of eyes,

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled upwards slightly, but his eyes gradually turned icy, making Chen Jing and the others feel a chill of unfamiliarity: “Who the hell do you think you are?

Whether you’re disappointed or not, what the fuck does that have to do with me?”
