Then An Yi looked at the jade pillow in his arms again; this was the fifth one Lei Tingjun had thrown away this month.

If Lei Tingjun and I both work hard, we should be able to buy our master a small courtyard to rest in the capital soon.

Lei Tingjun had no idea that his loyal bodyguard was plotting to transfer his assets to his current master.

Just as Lei Tingjun was about to say something to An Yi, he saw the Fifth Prince's head steward rush in.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Lei Tingjun frowned upon hearing this. Ever since his leg was injured and his manhood was almost destroyed by the roof beam, he had disliked hearing unlucky words and did not allow his servants to say them in front of him.

Therefore, he said with dissatisfaction, "Just say what you have to say, I'm perfectly fine."

The Fifth Prince's head steward wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said anxiously.

“Master, today I suddenly discovered that many servants took their indentures to the government office to have their slave status cancelled. I was wondering why so many people got their indentures back, but when I asked around, I found out that…”

Guess what? They said the indenture suddenly appeared in front of them, and everyone was saying the same thing.

After hearing all that, I felt something was wrong. I was worried that there was a traitor in the manor, so I rushed to the storeroom to check, and then... and then..."

The head butler started to stammer at this point.

Lei Tingjun was already irritable, and now that he saw the head steward like this, he instinctively wanted to pick up the jade pillow on the bed and hit the head steward.

He instinctively reached out and found nothing. He turned around in confusion and saw the familiar jade pillow in An Yi's arms. Only then did he remember that he had hit An Yi with the jade pillow earlier.

However, after this incident, he was too embarrassed to ask An Yi for the jade pillow back.

Lei Tingjun coughed lightly, then slapped the bed hard and said with dissatisfaction, "What's the result? You're a grown man, do I have to teach you how to speak?"

Upon hearing this, the head steward bent over even more deeply, and said with a mournful face, "Master, your storeroom has been emptied by thieves, and there's nothing left inside!"

Lei Tingjun thought he had misheard, and subconsciously asked again, "What did you say?"

The head steward repeated helplessly, "I told you your storeroom has been emptied by thieves, and there's nothing left in it now."

Lei Tingjun felt a sudden darkness before his eyes; if he hadn't been sitting on the bed, he would have surely fainted by now.

"Quick, take me to see!" Lei Tingjun said to An Yi through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, An Yi, who was standing to the side, was still a little confused. So that's why his master came to the capital.

Master is truly amazing; he doesn't speak until he makes a move, and when he does, it's astonishing! He's incredibly skilled; he stole from the Prince's residence without hesitation!

Unlike him, who still needs Lei Tingjun to smash people to accumulate things, he should learn more from his master in this regard and try to empty Lei Tingjun's remaining assets. Then he can just pack up and go find his master!

Just thinking about it makes me feel that life would be wonderful.

"An Yi, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you pushing me to the storeroom?" Lei Tingjun said with a frown.

An Yi then remembered that he had a troublesome Lei Tingjun by his side, and immediately replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I am simply too surprised and cannot believe that some petty thief would dare to provoke me!"

As An Yi spoke, he lifted Lei Tingjun into a wooden wheelchair and pushed him toward the storeroom.

After the group arrived at the warehouse, the head steward opened the warehouse door in front of Lei Tingjun.

"Squeak"

As the warehouse door slowly opened, Lei Tingjun's expression grew increasingly grim, because just as the head steward had said, there was nothing left in the warehouse.

"Quick, take me to another warehouse!" Lei Tingjun's expression changed, as if he had remembered something, and he said anxiously to An Yi.

An Yi nodded respectfully on the surface and pushed Lei Tingjun earnestly, but in his heart he was already overjoyed.

Haha, Lei Tingjun, you've finally met your match! It's too late now, my master has already moved everything!

As soon as Lei Tingjun arrived at another warehouse, he couldn't wait for the head butler to open the door. He took the key and unlocked it himself.

"Squeak"

The warehouse door opened.

Unfortunately, the warehouse was completely different from what Lei Tingjun had expected; it was also empty!

"Who is it? Who is it? I'll skin him alive!" Lei Tingjun said through gritted teeth. The things in that warehouse were the solid foundation for his future battle against the Crown Prince and his allies.

If he has nothing left, how can he provide a good life for Youyou?

An Yi glanced at Lei Tingjun silently, inwardly scoffing. "Tsk tsk, with that ferocious look on his face, if his teeth weren't his, they might already be crushed to pieces."

What the master did this time was truly gratifying!

At this moment, the head butler leaned close to Lei Tingjun and whispered words of advice.

"Master, please don't rush. The most important thing right now is to find out the identity of this thief. Should we hand this matter over to the authorities?"

Lei Tingjun shouted angrily, "The government? Do you think things haven't gotten big enough? Do you want the Crown Prince and the others to laugh at me?"

The head steward looked helpless. Heavens, he really didn't mean it that way, but the amount of money lost was just too huge. How could he get it back without reporting it to the authorities?

Lei Tingjun sighed, and when he saw An Yi standing obediently to the side, his irritation lessened a bit.

Ever since the last landslide and the leg injury he suffered, An Yi has become much more composed and is no longer as headstrong as before, trying to make decisions for himself.

That's great, I hope he can keep it up.

As Lei Tingjun thought this, he pointed at An Yi and said to the head butler.

"As the head steward of the prince's residence, can you learn from An Yi when you encounter problems?"

Look at him, he's surprised but not flustered. He clearly has a plan in mind, unlike you who just keeps offering bad advice.

The head butler opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he chose to swallow it and just nodded silently.

However, he still looked at An Yi with a puzzled expression. He had worked with An Yi for a long time. In the past, whenever his master encountered something, An Yi would rush around anxiously like a headless fly.

The fact that An Yi was so calm this time was unexpected for the head butler. Could it be that An Yi has grown up and he himself has regressed?

The head butler scratched his head, beginning to doubt his own abilities for the first time.

Lei Tingjun, in his wheelchair, turned to An Yi and said, "An Yi, I order you to take all the secret guards and find out who the mastermind is within three days. If you fail to find him, you can come to me with your head."

An Yi rolled his eyes silently, head down, thinking to himself, "Listen to this, it's about bringing up heads again. How many heads does he have to count?"

So it wasn't you, Lei Tingjun, who did it? Why don't you try to find out the truth in three days?
