After entering Dehui Commercial Bank, Li Yunxi was not received by anyone. The shop assistants were busy with their own business, and so were the other customers. They chose the goods themselves and went to check out. The reason for this was that Dehui Commercial Bank was engaged in wholesale business, so it naturally did not care much about these scattered customers.
"Is there someone named Feng Yue here?" Li Yunxi came to a busy waiter and asked.
"Who are you?" The clerk looked at Li Yunxi with vigilance. Feng Yue was the wife of the second-in-command of their company. Such a big incident happened on the company's cargo ship. Now a stranger suddenly came to her door and asked for her by name. How could she not be wary?
"Haha, don't be nervous. I know Feng Yue and I'm not here to cause trouble." Li Yunxi said with a smile.
The clerk called the store manager in suspicion.
The manager was a middle-aged man with a big belly. When he saw Li Yunxi, he looked her up and down, then bowed and asked, "I'm the manager of this store, my name is Yu Hao. Miss, what can you do with Madam Feng Yue?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly. Just help me pass the message and tell her that my name is Li Yunxi." Li Yunxi gave her name. She had told Feng Yue her name when they had a brief conversation before.
"Wait a moment." Yu Hao said, then went to the office next door and reported what happened here.
Not long after, a group of aggressive monks rushed into the store and headed straight for Li Yunxi. The young man in the lead said to Li Yunxi: "Haha, girl, you are so brave. You killed people from my Dehui Commercial Bank and robbed my Dehui Commercial Bank's goods. Now you dare to come to my door!"
Li Yunxi was completely confused and bewildered by them. She asked in astonishment, "You said I robbed you?"
"Who else could it be if not you?" the young man shouted angrily, and then respectfully said to an old man beside him: "Mr. Xiao, I'll have to trouble you to take action."
"Haha, Ning Qing, don't thank me first. I'm not familiar with you. I'm just doing work for the headquarters." The old man said indifferently to the young man.
The old man's name is Xiao Ling, a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Severing Realm, and he is a special envoy sent by the Dehui Trading Company headquarters to investigate the robbery of the cargo ship. Dehui Trading Company is a chain company, and the headquarters is not obliged to assist in the investigation when a small trading company under it is robbed. However, this time the headquarters entrusted the Muyang City branch to transport a very precious cargo, and they unexpectedly encountered a robbery. How can they not be anxious?
"Mr. Xiao is right, but if the goods can be recovered, I will definitely give you a generous gift." Ning Qing said.
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then made a gesture to the cultivators behind him, and a group of people surrounded Li Yunxi.
"Wait! You said I robbed the goods from Dehui Trading Company, do you have any evidence?" Li Yunxi said to Ning Qinghe. Although these people around her did not pose any threat to her, she did not want to be framed for no reason.
"Evidence? My sister-in-law has already identified you, what other evidence do you need?" Ning Qing shouted.
"Are you saying that Feng Yue said that I robbed your cargo boat?" Li Yunxi looked incredulous.
"Stop pretending, girl. I advise you to surrender and hand over the things belonging to our Dehui Trading Company. You can suffer less physical pain!" Ning Qing said coldly.
"Haha, if that's the case, then let's fight." Li Yunxi didn't waste any more words. Since the other party was unreasonable, he would first convince him with force and then reason with him later.
Two breaths later, all the people from Dehui Trading Company lay on the ground, including the special envoy named Xiao Ling.
"Now I'm asking questions and you answer them. Do you understand?" Li Yunxi crossed his arms and looked down at everyone.
Xiao Ling and Ning Qing nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice. The woman in front of them was too terrifying. They didn't even see clearly how Li Yunxi made her move. Such a freak with extraordinary talent was not someone their Chamber of Commerce could afford to offend.
"Your goods were lost, and Feng Yue and the others said that I robbed you?" Li Yunxi asked.
"Yes, according to Feng Yue, five days ago our cargo ship was stopped by a female cultivator at the border of Ping'an Domain. Without saying a word, she started killing everyone on the cargo ship. The people from our Dehui Trading Company and the hired bodyguards put up a desperate resistance but were no match for her and were eventually slaughtered. Since she was resting in the cabin at the time, she was not discovered by the female cultivator at the first time. In addition, her husband, our deputy manager, tried his best to cover for her, so she luckily escaped with her life." Xiao Ling nodded.
"You mean she's the only one coming back?" Li Yunxi was a little surprised.
"Yes, my sister-in-law is also very pitiful. Although she escaped with her life, she still suffered serious injuries. She is still lying in bed. It will be difficult for such a weak woman to live in this world in the future!" Ning Qing sighed.
"You should just take care of yourself!" Li Yunxi was speechless.
"Senior, since the robbery of the cargo ship has nothing to do with you, it means that Feng Yue lied and she framed you?" Xiao Ling asked.
"Aren't you just talking nonsense? Would I be interested in your little stuff?" Li Yunxi said unhappily.
After a pause, Li Yunxi kicked the monk who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said coldly: "Call Feng Yue out, hum~ I saved her with good intentions and she dared to slander me!"
The cultivator was kicked and quickly got up. After hearing what Li Yunxi said, he looked at Xiao Ling cautiously.
"Why are you looking at me? If the senior tells you to go, you must go. Even if you have to carry Feng Yue out!" Xiao Ling shouted.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the monk hurried forward to do the work.
"Haha, when I went to deal with those robbers, they were driving away on a cargo boat. Now the cargo is lost, and...it's interesting." Li Yunxi murmured.
"Senior, are you talking about 'they'?" Xiao Ling only then noticed Li Yunxi's wording. In fact, Li Yunxi had mentioned the word 'they' before.
"Then where did the others go? Where did the cargo boat go?" Ning Qing asked puzzledly.
"Idiot!" Li Yunxi didn't want to pay any attention to this idiot.
Xiao Ling looked at Ning Qing speechlessly. He decided that after this matter was settled, whether the goods were recovered or not, he would suggest to the headquarters to close down Ning Qing's branch. Otherwise, Ning Qing would destroy the reputation of Dehui Commercial Bank sooner or later.
"I understand. Senior, what you mean is that the other survivors were killed by Feng Yue, and the goods were also embezzled by Feng Yue?" Ning Qing suddenly realized.
"The others may not have been killed by Feng Yue. In any case, she was just a weak woman in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It would be difficult for her to deal with the other people who were no weaker than her. Besides, it was impossible for her to get rid of such a big flying boat and so much cargo so quickly. She must have hidden it. In this case, it won't work without help." Xiao Ling analyzed.
Li Yunxi also nodded slightly. The Qiankun Ring is a very rare item. In the Xuantian Continent, apart from their Lingxiao Sect, even some immortals may not possess the Qiankun Ring. With only the limited space in the Sumeru Bag, it is definitely not enough to accommodate the giant flying boat.
In any case, I'll just ask Feng Yue later and I'll find out what's going on.
