Shangguan Wei's words shocked everyone on the scene. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened into an O shape, as if an egg could fit in. After a long while, everyone gradually came to their senses. They began to whisper and talk among themselves, their voices full of disbelief and confusion.

"How is this possible? Such a rare item could be lost on the spot. Who would dare to buy jewelry from the Yu family?"

"Three times the price of compensation, at least more than 10 million taels of gold, can the Yu family come up with that much money?"

"Don't feel sorry for the Yu family. They are the ones who caused the trouble. They should pay every penny they owe."

The emotions of the crowd exploded in an instant like ignited gunpowder, with all kinds of exclamations and doubts coming one after another, and the whole scene became chaotic and noisy.

Yu Chengfeng tried his best to control the surging emotions in his heart. He closed his lips tightly and clenched his teeth, as if trying to prevent the anger from overflowing from his mouth.

After a long while, "Brother Tatsuya, wait a moment. I will send the district manager to confirm and let you know the final compensation later."

Shangguan Wei raised her head, "Master Yu, there is no need to go to such trouble. I paid a total of six million gold coins. It took me only a few minutes to go to the toilet, but when I opened the toilet after returning, everything inside had turned into stone slag. Master Yu needs to investigate the specific reasons, and everyone who was present at the time is behind me."

A demon dressed in men's clothing walked out of the building, followed by several young women holding exquisite boxes of different sizes. They were of different heights, some were petite, some were tall and slender, but their faces looked very heavy.

Shangguan Wei raised her right hand and said, "Open the box and show it to Master Yu to make sure that what I said is true and not an attempt to extort money."

"Brother Tatsuya, you don't need to open the box. I trust your character. This is all caused by their improper storage. I will compensate you for all your losses now."

Yu Chengfeng glanced at the young women, his eyes filled with anger, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and he felt so depressed that he wanted to kill someone.

"Everything happened for a reason. Master Yu has the courage to take responsibility, and I admire him very much. I hope Master Yu can catch the murderer as soon as possible to recover today's losses."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Tatsuya. I will catch the murderer and punish him severely. Regarding the 18 million taels of gold, Brother Tatsuya, do you want the pass or the gold?"

Shangguan Wei folded her hands in front of her and said calmly, "I don't want the pass, I only want the gold. I will stay in the capital for the next two days. Young Master Yu, please write a written agreement for me, and the gold will be delivered to Room 508 of the Longzhu Hotel."

"Okay, I will write a written agreement for Brother Tatsuya and send someone to deliver it later."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Yu. I'll be waiting for you at the Longzhu Hotel anytime."

Yu Chengfeng waved his hand, and the servant brought paper and pen to him. He found a square table, quickly wrote a few lines on the paper, stamped it, and handed it to Shangguan Wei.

"Brother Tatsuya, please read the contents of the paper. If you have any objections, please raise them."

Shangguan Wei glanced at it and said, "I trust Master Yu and have no objection to the content above. I will not bother you any further. See you later." She folded the paper and put it in her left sleeve, bowed, and turned away gracefully.

Yu Chengfeng turned around and walked into the building. His expression changed and became terrifyingly gloomy. "Find out what happened today. This young master suffered heavy losses. This young master will make that person pay a heavy price."

The black-clad guard cupped his hands and said, "Yes, master. Send someone to investigate immediately."

"Go, the sooner the better. And by the way, lock up those women. I want to interrogate them thoroughly."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Yu Chengfeng waved his right hand and walked into the building with an expressionless face.

"Ah! Why did Young Master Yu leave? What about my compensation? You can't just let it go like this, right?"

"Give us the compensation, or we won't leave."

Shopkeeper Qu raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, the goods are on their way. If you can't wait, you can come to me to exchange them for silver. I will compensate you at the original price."

Everyone rushed forward, pushing and shoving each other, trying desperately to squeeze forward. Finally, Shopkeeper Qu was surrounded by the crowd.

"There's not much stuff, let me change it first."

"This lady is a first-rank imperial concubine. You can't afford to offend her. All of you, please get out of my way."

"Don't rush and line up. This shopkeeper will compensate you all."

……

As the sky gradually darkened, the crowd in front of Yufulou gradually dispersed, and the surroundings became quiet. There was a large area of ​​garbage on the ground, and the air was filled with an unpleasant odor. Because of what happened today, the clerks became more cautious in their work, fearing that they would accidentally cause a fatal disaster.

Half an incense stick of time passed...

Two account books were delivered to Yu Chengfeng. Manager Qu stood in front of the desk, lowered his head and dared not speak. Yu Chengfeng sat in front of the desk and read the account book. When he turned to the last page, his face was frighteningly gloomy, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were burning with anger. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he wanted to crush all his anger. His hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, as if they could explode at any time.

"The loss is nearly 30 million taels of gold. Shopkeeper Qu is sure that he has not made a mistake in his calculations."

"Yes, yes, young master. Today, all the famous ladies and most of the people in the capital are here. Most of them are customers who buy expensive clothes, jewelry, cloth and food. We will compensate them three times the original price of the products. After calculation, the total expenditure is nearly 30 million taels of gold."

Yu Chengfeng was so angry that he slammed his right fist on the table, "Damn bitch, if I catch you, I will make you live a life worse than death."

Shopkeeper Qu was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Young Master, it is all because of your failure to supervise me properly. I am willing to accept severe punishment."

Yu Chengfeng glanced at him coldly, "Humph! Severe punishment is inevitable. Considering that you are an old man by my father's side, I can be lenient with you and give you thirty strokes of the cane. Go down and receive the punishment yourself."

After a pause, "Someone with unusual movements can be found on the field today, especially those who move around frequently."

Shopkeeper Qu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, there are so many people here that I didn't find anyone suspicious."

Yu Chengfeng waved his hand, "Got it, you go down and accept the punishment. Also, don't tell your father about what happened today. If he asks, just say everything is normal."

"Yes, Master, I know what to say."

After the district manager left the room, a black figure emerged from the darkness and knelt on one knee. "Master, the gold has been delivered to the Dragon Ball Hotel. After investigation, I found that he is a member of the Tianlong Kingdom's royal family. You need to continue to follow him."

Yu Chengfeng stood up and said, "No need. We can't afford to offend the people of Tianlong Country. We will have a chance to meet again in the future. I am worried that there is no one in Tianlong Country." He walked to a wall and stretched out his right hand to twist the lamppost on the wall. "Follow me to the dungeon and interrogate those women."

"Yes, master."

The secret door on the wall opened, and two people walked into the secret prison one after the other.

……

The basement of Longzhu Building.

Shangguan Wei looked at the bags of food and the mountains of cloth in front of her with a bright smile on her face.

"Manager Lou did a good job. He brought back a lot of food and cloth without spending any money. Let's prepare and then do this..."

"My lady is wise and has a wonderful idea. I will definitely make sure this is done."
