The older one wasn't actually that old, looking to be around forty or fifty years old. He was wearing a Tang suit, of medium build, and had a serious expression. At that moment, he was standing opposite the abbot of Qingshan Temple.

"It's been a week, and we still haven't found anything?" the old man in the Tang suit asked the host sternly.

The host, with his hands clasped together, sweat beading on his forehead, replied somewhat nervously, "We really couldn't find any trace, and we were at our wits' end, which is why we invited you here."

The abbot of Qingshan Temple has been living in constant fear lately. He never imagined that his basement would be burgled just half a month after he left the temple.

He discovered the treasure vault had been robbed a week ago, but didn't dare report it immediately, only thinking about whether he could find out the truth himself.

They reviewed every single second of the surveillance footage from the mountainside for a week, but all they got out of it was that their men were exhausted.

When he could no longer cover it up, he had no choice but to report the matter to his master, trembling with fear.

The young man in a suit who had been looking around the hall suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at the host with a mocking expression and asked with a half-smile, "Is it really that no trace can be found, or did you steal from your own premises? There's no way to explain this."

The abbot hurriedly looked up at the young man and explained, "Junior brother, you can't say that. I have always been loyal to Master. Over the years, I have given him more and more as a token of my respect, and I would never dare to keep anything for myself. This time it was truly an accident! You all know my character. If I had really stolen from him, how could I have dared to make such a big move and report such a thing to my superiors?"

The old man in the Tang suit stared at the host for a while, until the host broke out in a sweat again, before slowly saying, "You've really made a huge mistake this time, even I can't cover it up."

Moreover, your place is now practically ruined. The person who made this move was able to steal the entire treasure vault without anyone noticing, so they must be someone of considerable influence, probably a large gang.

As long as the other party keeps those things hidden and doesn't make a move, we won't be able to find any trace of them for a while.

However, we'll have to find a way to make up for some of the losses this time. You're an older person now, you should know what to do next.

The host's lips trembled slightly as he pleaded with the elderly man in the Tang suit, "Master, I will dispose of my assets as soon as possible to make up for the shortfall. But I am incompetent, and even so, I am still short a large portion. Please help me, Master. When I have income in the future, I will definitely give it all to you to make up for your loss this time."

After the old man and the young man left the temple and got into the car going down the mountain, the young man asked the old man, "Dad, are we really just going to let this go like this? I have a feeling this isn't so simple. Maybe they've betrayed us, colluding with someone else, and they're crying wolf."

The old man in the Tang suit pondered for a moment before speaking, "I know Wu Fan quite well. Although he is somewhat greedy, he doesn't have the guts to do something this big. But what you said is also true; this matter is indeed quite strange, and we cannot let our guard down."

First, we need to gather up the lost items and find a way to hand them over to our superiors to cover up this shortfall, and then continue the investigation.

You've arranged for people to keep an eye on all the places where stolen goods are sold on the black market, both domestically and internationally. You think you can just pocket all our profits for free? Not so easy.

"Our Jian family has been powerful for decades, and this is the first time we've encountered such a silent loss. I won't be satisfied until we drag those people out and tear them to pieces!"
