"You need to guarantee you won't find any problems first!" Liang Pengfei seemed certain that he could find something wrong.
Wu Gousheng lowered his eyes, pondering how to deal with the situation.
He suspected that Liang Pengfei might resort to underhanded tactics.
Before Wu Gousheng could think it through, he saw soldiers carrying out a box.
The box was also locked.
"Sir, there's a suspicious box inside!" the officer reported to Liang Pengfei.
Liang Pengfei glanced at the box, then looked at Wu Gousheng, "Open it!"
Wu Gousheng stared at the box, his face grim.
After a long pause, he finally looked up at Liang Pengfei and said, "It contains the recipes for Xiangmingxuan beverages. If we open it and let everyone see it, how will Xiangmingxuan do business in the future?"
"The fact that you don't dare to open it means there's something fishy inside!" Liang Pengfei said coldly.

Liang Pengfei's words shocked everyone present.
Wu Gousheng smiled instead, "Alright, I'll open it!"
As he spoke, he took out a key from his pocket, squatted down to unlock the door, and muttered, "I don't even know if there's anything inside, yet Lord Liang dares to make such a guarantee, as if you were the one who put it there!"
With a "click," the lock opened.
The box was opened, and its contents were revealed to everyone.
Several bills, a stack of papers covered in writing, and a small box, the contents of which were unknown.
"There really is something. Lord Liang is indeed clever. What could it be?"
