After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yu finally realized that Hong Feipeng had not lied to him.
This ledger records only the silver earned by Baoyuelou, but it doesn't record who received the money.
"What about the other ledger?"
Xiao Yu threw the ledger in his hand on the ground and asked.
Upon hearing this, both Hong Feipeng and Mr. Di remained silent.
"I don't have much patience."
Xiao Yu said coldly, and then walked towards the two of them step by step.
"Don't come any closer!"
Hong Feipeng roared, then grabbed Mr. Di by the neck and pulled him up, saying in a chilling tone, "The ledger is hidden somewhere else, only Mr. Di knows about it. If you dare to come over, I'll break his neck! Although I'm no match for you, you won't get anything either!"
"you do not know?"
Xiao Yu stopped and asked in a cold voice.
"have no idea."
Hong Feipeng sneered and said, "What use would it be for a rough man like me to know where the ledger is hidden? My purpose is to ensure that this ledger does not fall into the hands of others... Even if I kill Mr. Di, it doesn't matter."
Xiao Yu stared at him and said, "If he dies, you won't survive either."
"If I die, then I die."
Hong Feipeng's face contorted into a ferocious expression as he laughed loudly, "I was born a suicide soldier. My master has been incredibly kind to me. To die for my master is an honor for me!"
Judging from his expression and tone, he didn't seem to be lying.
What a crazy guy!
Xiao Yu glanced at Mr. Di, the thin man with a goatee, who didn't struggle but looked resigned to his fate.
"Are you prepared to die?" Xiao Yu asked, frowning.
"good."
Mr. Di nodded slightly, his tone tinged with regret but also resolute, and said, "It's good to be alive, but it's nothing to die! In this life, I've earned more money than others could earn in ten lifetimes, slept with a beautiful daughter that ordinary people couldn't sleep with in ten lifetimes, and enjoyed so much wealth and glory... What does it matter if I die now?"
Damn, I'm so envious of these villains having such loyal followers... Xiao Yu snorted to himself.
However, if someone were to die for him, Xiao Yu would absolutely disagree; he would not take other people's lives so lightly!
"You've won."
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yu uttered four words.
Those behind Baoyue Tower, who were able to cultivate Mr. Di's loyalty so well, and who also had a Grandmaster's personal bodyguard... who was also a Grandmaster's assassin.
With such cautious operations, they wouldn't keep the profit-sharing ledger in this room, or even in Baoyue Tower!
Furthermore, given that the other party refused to reveal the location of the ledger even at the cost of their lives, Xiao Yu knew that continuing the stalemate would be fruitless.
So he decided to forgive the two people and turned to leave.
"call!!"
After seeing Xiao Yu leave, Mr. Di breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly smiled again: "Looks like I can continue to enjoy wealth and luxury, and continue to sleep with beautiful women!"
"You old bastard!"
Hong Feipeng chuckled and cursed, then his expression instantly turned serious: "Such a young Grandmaster, who exactly is he?! Who... who is going against Master?"
"...Let's report this to the master first."
Mr. Di's expression was also extremely solemn.
...
Xiao Yu returned to the room. Ningxiang lay quietly on the bed, having given up struggling.
Upon hearing someone enter, Ningxiang made "woo-woo-woo" sounds, indicating a cry for help...
"I'm sorry, Miss Ningxiang."
Xiao Yu's voice rang out beside her.
Ningxiang thought it was her maid who had come, but when she heard Xiao Yu's voice, she stopped crying for help and her pretty face showed an angry expression.
"You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"
Seeing that she wasn't moving, Xiao Yu crossed his arms and quietly watched from the side.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Finally, Ningxiang couldn't hold back any longer and made a "woo woo woo" sound to indicate that she had given up and begged Xiao Yu to untie her.
"That's a good boy, hehe."
Xiao Yu smiled and then untied her hands, saying, "You can untie the rest yourself. Next time, I'll show you how to do real rope bondage."
After saying that, Xiao Yu left quickly and lightly.
After regaining her mobility, Ningxiang first removed the silk scarf covering her eyes, then looked towards the door and saw Xiao Yu's back and the door slowly closing.
"Damn it!"
Ningxiang removed the silk scarf from her mouth and angrily cursed, "I even played the zither for you and wanted to bathe together... talking about something new, but it turns out he just wanted to tie me up and then leave... He really did have designs on Baoyue Tower, you bastard!"
However, the thought of being blindfolded and handcuffed is indeed quite exciting and wonderful.
"What are you thinking... Go tell Sister Hong first."
Ningxiang untied her feet, got out of bed, and quickly walked out.
...
After leaving Baoyue Tower, Xiao Yu went straight back to Xiao Wang Mansion.
The fruitless result today did not discourage or dishearten Xiao Yu.
His main target was Duke Liu. Just by the few women imprisoned in those three houses, and Miss Wang's corpse... or perhaps more than just Miss Wang's corpse, Xiao Yu could bring down Duke Liu with these pieces of evidence alone.
"The purpose of going to Baoyue Tower was to drag Liu Guogong's accomplices into the mess as well."
"Although we gained nothing this time, and it might even arouse their suspicion... they'll think I'm going to find evidence of Liu Guogong's crimes!"
