"What?" Sun Xun raised an eyebrow, and the temperature in the entire room immediately dropped.
The fat Venerable had no choice but to bite the bullet and show him the IOU. He then explained the whole story and asked, "I wonder if the jade pendant is still with you, young master?"
Sun Xun snorted: "It was taken long ago."
He glanced at the IOU and, sure enough, it was his son's handwriting, with his personal seal on it.
Sun Ji also informed him of this through special channels. Upon learning of it, he immediately led his men to come and meet him, but they were still a step too late.
Watching Sun Xun brazenly put the IOU into his pocket, the fat Venerable's eyelids twitched. However, he knew that he would never get the money back, so it was better to pay up to avoid trouble and prevent the other party from taking their anger out on Xiaoyao Tower.
As expected, after Sun Xun handed over the IOU, he didn't attack Xiaoyao Tower again, but instead looked at Zu An: "You're number 333?"
“Not bad,” Zuan replied calmly as he stood up.
"Take him down!" Sun Xun waved his hand, and a group of men pounced on Zu'an like wolves and tigers.
Zu An glanced at the Fat Venerable and Tang Tian'er: "Is this how Xiaoyao Tower treats its guests?"
The fat Venerable hesitated for a moment, but Tang Tian'er spoke first: "Prime Minister Sun, why do you want to arrest him?"
At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to the fat Venerable One, saying that with so many guests watching, if they did nothing, the reputation of Xiaoyao Tower would be ruined. Moreover, the connection with the sea tribe could not be severed.
The fat Venerable was also at a loss, but knowing that what she said made sense, he hurriedly came out to stop her.
Sun Xun narrowed his eyes: "What, is your Xiaoyao Tower going to protect the murderer who killed my Ji'er?"
Fat Venerable and Tang Tian'er were taken aback: "Is he the murderer of Young Master Sun? Could there be a mistake?"
“Our man’s dying words said he was the murderer. What, do you think I would lie?” Sun Xun said impatiently. If it weren’t for the unfathomable backing of Xiaoyao Tower, he probably would have already burned this place to the ground to bury his son with it. He wouldn’t have had the patience to say so much.
At this moment, Zu An spoke up: "Nonsense! I've been in my room the whole time, and Miss Tang can vouch for me. How could I possibly have gone out to kill someone?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Tang Tian'er. Everyone thought to themselves, "Such a beautiful female host was just accompanying number 333. Do jade-plated guests get such good treatment?"
Other jade pendant customers were quite frustrated, wondering why they hadn't received the same jade pendant.
Under everyone's gaze, even Tang Tian'er, who was usually poised and confident, couldn't help but blush. But now, she could only say, "Just now... just now I was indeed with him."
She couldn't very well say that she had drugged the man and left, could she? To do such a thing to a guest with a jade pendant would be a huge scandal for Xiaoyao Tower.
