Jiang Yan's guilty expression was noticed by everyone.

Immediately, everyone subconsciously believed Lu Yuan's words.

"Holy crap! Judging from Jiang Yan's expression, he's not really going to abuse a pet cub, is he?"

"For someone who is the manager of a pet shop to do something like this shows that the Divine Sea Beast Shop is no good either!"

"We urge the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation!"

"That's right! Pet shops that abuse cubs like this absolutely cannot be allowed to exist!"

Seeing more and more people around her criticizing her, Jiang Yan completely panicked.

How did things suddenly turn into him abusing pet cubs?

Shouldn't these people be blaming Lu Yuan?

Jiang Yan was furious when she saw that the crowd she had painstakingly gathered had been swayed by Lu Yuan's few words.

"Don't let his words mislead you. It's clearly the problem with the items auctioned at the Divine Beast Auction House. We should make him explain this clearly first!"

Jiang Yan shouted at the crowd, unwilling to give up, trying to steer the discussion back on track.

Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly walked up to him, bent down, and spoke in a low voice.

"You don't actually think nobody knows what you've done, do you? If you keep being stubborn, you'll suffer an even worse fate later."

After saying that.

Lu Yuan straightened up and said with a smile, "I said that if you want to contract a pet cub, you need my assistance. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the cub itself! Moreover, I can guarantee that all the items auctioned at the Divine Beast Auction House are genuine and reliable, and we can accept any questions and investigations. But does your Divine Sea Beast Shop dare to be so open about this?"

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Jiang Yan's expression grew even more unpleasant.

They were as arrogant and smug when they arrived, and now they are just as flustered and pathetic.

calm?

How could they possibly be at peace with themselves?!

Xiao Mingxin somehow contacted a group of customers who wanted to buy pet cubs, and instructed them to participate in the auction at the Divine Beast Auction House. He then bid for all the pet cubs up for auction and resold them at high prices, making a fortune.

They thought they had obtained the pet cub through fair and square bidding. Even if Lu Yuan had his own thoughts and was unwilling, he could not refuse, let alone secretly sabotage him.

After all, this matter concerns the reputation and prestige of the Divine Beast Auction House. If Lu Yuan dares to do it, it would be tantamount to handing them leverage over him.

However.

They didn't expect that after these pet cubs were delivered to the customer, they would find that they couldn't be contracted!

Two of the clients even suffered severe injuries after attempting to force a contract with the pet cubs, potentially damaging their foundation and impacting their future cultivation.

All the buyers went to Xiao Mingxin, demanding an explanation.

But these pet cubs were auctioned off from the Divine Beast Auction House. Xiao Mingxin had no idea what was going on and where could he get an explanation?

Finally, driven to desperation, he sent Jiang Yan with the cubs to cause trouble at the Divine Beast Pavilion.

Jiang Yan originally intended to use the Divine Beast Auction House and Divine Beast Pavilion to pressure Lu Yuan into explaining why he couldn't form a contract with the cub.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan didn't give him a chance to put pressure on him at all.

Even more unexpectedly, Lu Yuan's assistance was needed to form a contract with these cubs!

Is this a joke?

Their original plan was to make a fortune by reselling the pet cubs bred by Lu Yuan. If Lu Yuan were to meet with the buyers, wouldn't everything be exposed?

When their practice of reselling cubs at double the price is exposed, the buyers will not only pursue the issue of the inability to enter into a contract.

It's even more likely that they'll join forces and shut down the Divine Sea Beast Shop!

However, none of these are the most fatal.

After all, there is no absolute evidence for any of this, and it can be resolved by using other excuses or finding other scapegoats.

However, if news of the abuse of pet cubs inside the Divine Sea Beast Shop gets out, then the nature of the matter will change.

They don't even need anyone to do anything to ban them; they're already finished on their own!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and her eyes filled with fear as she looked up at Lu Yuan.

"You...you knew everything all along! You did it on purpose, didn't you?!"

Lu Yuan chuckled softly upon hearing this, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "How can I let you keep causing trouble if I don't give you a little taste? It's more satisfying to uproot such stinky and annoying things from the root!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Jiang Yan couldn't help but take a step back in fear. No longer caring that she had come to cause trouble, she scrambled away and fled.

He had to run back and tell Xiao Mingxin what had just happened, and quickly clean up the mess of the abuse of pet cubs in the store, otherwise this time it would be a complete disaster!

Watching Jiang Yan's disheveled escape, Mu Ruxing appeared behind Lu Yuan without him noticing.

"Young Master Lu, are you just going to let him go like this?"

"How could that be? I already reported it. I reckon Jiang Yan will be able to see Xiao Mingxin one last time when she runs back to the store!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, then sighed with feigned helplessness.

"I'm so kind! They slandered me like that, and I still let them see each other again out of friendship! It's hard to find someone as kind as me!"

After hearing this, Mu Ruxing finally couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Kind?!

It's fortunate that Jiang Yan escaped early, otherwise she would have been furious to death upon hearing this!

Mu Ruxing glanced at the gradually dispersing crowd around her. Everyone was discussing what had just happened, speculating whether the Divine Sea Beast Shop had abused its pet cubs.

"Young Master Lu is really ruthless!"

Mu Ruxing sighed deeply.

He said last night that the good days of the Divine Sea Beast Shop were coming to an end, and it came true today.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as Young Master Lu!

Zheng Meng and Wu Mingxu, who had been watching the entire match from the sidelines, exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The seeds of suspicion will take root and sprout in your heart.

Even if an investigation confirms that the Divine Sea Beast Shop did not abuse its pet cubs, its business and reputation will likely plummet.

Even without the Divine Beast Pavilion shining in front of them, there would be no chance of turning things around.

After resolving Jiang Yan's matter, Lu Yuan and the others returned to the store.

"Old Mu, keep a close eye on the Divine Sea Beast Shop's activities during this period, and pay special attention to the situation of the pet cubs that have been auctioned off."

Although he auctioned off these pet cubs, they were, after all, raised by his own hands, and he couldn't let them suffer any injustice outside.

Mu Ruxing smiled knowingly.

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
