Chapter 458: Victory in hand

Logically speaking, Yue Fuli could have handed over such matters to his subordinates.

However, the evidence was of great importance, so Yue Fuli felt it would be safer to go in person. That way, if Mei Niang made any small moves, she would be able to discover them in time.

Yue Fuli didn't think that Mei Niang would really obey. If the middle-aged man wasn't in her hands, Mei Niang would have turned against her long ago.

Yue Fuli followed Mei Niang to an uninhabited house and saw her enter the house with ease and open the door of the secret room.

However, when the door opened, Mei Niang was dumbfounded. There was nothing inside. She went in and searched, but she had to believe that Yue Zhenhu had already moved the evidence inside.

It seemed that Yue Zhenhu said he believed her, but in his heart he was wary of her. Otherwise, why would he transfer the evidence?

Unable to find any evidence, Mei Niang quickly calmed down after her initial panic.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

So she left the secret room and went to another bedroom. This bedroom also had a secret room, but unlike the previous one where the switch was on the wall, the switch for this secret room was under the bed.

This room was originally hers, and she had built this secret room herself. Not only did she put some valuables in the secret room, she also placed another very important piece of evidence here.

After carefully entering the secret room, Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the treasures were still there. It was good that the things were still there, otherwise she would have been furious.

After following Yue Zhenhu for so many years, the only thing she got was this house and the money in this secret room.

Mei Niang walked to one of the boxes, opened it and took a look. After seeing that nothing was missing, she felt completely relieved.

Fortunately, Yue Zhenhu didn't find anything here.

Mei Niang was thankful as she moved the box away, revealing a green brick. She gently pried the brick open, revealing a small rectangular box.

She carefully took out the box and checked the outer shell. Finding that the outer shell was intact, she did not open it again, but put it directly into her arms.

After getting the evidence, Mei Niang did not touch the treasure inside. She went straight out of the secret room and then quickly left the house under the cover of night.

Yue Fuli followed Mei Niang all the time. When the other party got the box, she used a replacement spell and replaced the evidence in Mei Niang's hand with an empty box.

Mei Niang did not take the box back to Yue Fuli's residence. Instead, she hid the box on the way. Then, pretending that she had the evidence, she said to Yue Fuli, who had returned home earlier and was waiting for her, "I have the thing. However, I have a condition. If you agree, I will give you the evidence. If you don't agree, then I will destroy the evidence."

"Mei Niang, you have to think it over carefully. Are you sure you really want to negotiate with me?" Yue Fuli looked at Mei Niang coldly, thinking to herself that it was a good thing she followed him because she was worried. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been manipulated by her now?

She actually wanted to use the evidence in her hand as a bargaining chip to negotiate with her. She was really calculating. If it were someone else, she might have succeeded.

Unfortunately, Mei Niang met her, and this trick didn't work on her at all.

"Sir, I have the evidence in my hands now, don't I?" Mei Niang laughed, looking confident of victory. She felt that Yue Fuli would definitely agree to her terms in order to obtain the evidence.
