Chapter 824 Caught in the act



"What?!"

Both the father and daughter were shocked and could not believe what they heard.

The attendant said anxiously, "It's true! Master, King Chen ordered that no one should make the news public. They hid the news very well. It was only after I disguised myself and infiltrated their group that I was able to get the information out."

Gu Qingqing was extremely shocked, "How is it possible..."

Their mine hasn't produced any iron ore yet, so how could Qin Ye dig it out first?

How could Qin Ye be more powerful than their Gu family?

impossible!

Could it be that the strange thing in her hand really has a magical effect?

"Dad, I don't believe it! She is an outsider and must have dug up the iron ore by accident. She is lucky. Our mine has not yet produced any goods. How could she be faster than us?"

Absolutely not!

Master Gu frowned, his face stern, and his expression was more solemn than ever before.

He underestimated the enemy.

Since Princess Chen dared to bet with him, she must have some tricks up her sleeve. However, no one expected that Princess Chen was so efficient. She dug up the iron ore in just one day.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the Gu family?

Tomorrow morning, King Chen's iron will be moved out box by box, but he has not got a single wool. Where can he put his face?

Thinking of this, his face turned completely dark.

Could it be that the Gu family would lose to a woman?

Master Gu's eyes became stern, "Are you sure that there is a lot of pig iron in King Chen's mine?"

"Yes!" The attendant nodded confidently, "They are already packing the boxes in the mine!"

"Dad, what should I do?" Gu Qingqing became a little anxious after hearing this. She imagined Qin Ye's smug look and couldn't sleep well tonight.

This is only the first day, morale must not be overwhelmed.

Mr. Gu had a gloomy face and looked sinisterly at the mine about twenty or thirty meters away.

That night.

The workers, who had been busy all day, went to bed early and slept soundly. Prince Chen and his wife also fell asleep, and the camp was peaceful.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind:

"Let's go over there at night and take their pig iron and bring it to our mine."

When Gu Qingqing heard this, she didn't think it was inappropriate at all, and even agreed with it very much:

"Daddy still has the idea!"

Tomorrow morning, their Gu family will have a full shipment of goods, and Princess Chen will have nothing to show for it. The winner will be decided, and she is waiting for Princess Chen to bow to her.

Without further ado, Master Gu led a dozen highly skilled servants, sneaked into King Chen's camp at night, and quietly entered the mine.

It was pitch black inside the mine.

The light of the tinder lit up, small and illuminating a small space.

They patrolled carefully, but found that the cave was full of stones and bare. After searching for a while, they did not see any pig iron.

What about iron?

When Master Gu couldn't find it, he realized that he had been cheated. He reacted and immediately left the mine.

Just as we reached the entrance of the cave, the woman laughed:

"Second Master Gu, why are you here with me so late at night and not sleeping?"

Outside the cave, Qin Ye looked over with a smile. Zong Zhengchen stood on one side, and the others held torches and caught Master Gu and his group red-handed.

Master Gu: “…”

This made him a little embarrassed.

However, he has been in the world for many years, so he is thick-skinned and has a quick reaction speed.

His face was normal and his voice was steady. "It was so dark here that I thought this was my mine. I didn't expect to go to the wrong place. Our two mines are too close to each other. It's easy to make a mistake."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched.

Qin Ye had a smile on his face:

"Wrong way? I thought Mr. Gu was afraid of losing to me, so he wanted to steal my mine at night."

“…”

Qin Ye!

Keep your mouth clean!

"My Gu family has always been honest and upright in everything we do, and we never do anything sneaky or dishonest!"
