Chapter 103 The devil is 1 foot high and the road is 1 foot high
Uncle Hu seemed to wake up from a dream, pretending to have just remembered something, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
"Xiao Hu, quickly show the account book to the young lady!"
He reacted quickly, gently patted the head of the young man next to him, and eagerly signaled him to act quickly.
In a moment, a brand new account book fell into Su Yuan's hands, and even the faint scent of ink could be smelled.
However, even without ever looking through it, her intuition and years of experience told her that this so-called account book was undoubtedly a forgery!
She was furious at the crude attempt to deceive her. She placed her teacup on the table, her brow furrowed, a flicker of anger in her eyes. "Uncle Hu, you're not young anymore, yet you're trying to trick me with such a crude method? Are you planning to go to the police station and have a 'chat' about life like Guo Jiangming?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the subordinates who had originally obeyed their boss's orders all showed hesitant expressions.
They realized that they did not gain any substantial benefits from this, but were likely to be implicated in the illegal behavior of their superiors, which was really not worth the loss.
Despite his resentment, Uncle Hu still smiled and responded nonchalantly, "Oh, what a misunderstanding! It's just that the child accidentally took the wrong thing."
Then, he rudely kicked the innocent Xiao Hu standing aside, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and change back! If you delay the young lady's business, can you bear the responsibility?"
Xiao Hu, who suffered an unexpected disaster, was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and nodded, turned around and ran to replace the real account book.
After a wait that was longer than ever before, he reappeared in front of everyone holding a booklet with a slightly mottled and old cover, full of traces of use, and presented it to Su Yuan respectfully.
The latter then slowly opened the title page and took a closer look.
Sure enough, it recorded in detail the specific content of Guo Jiangming's private use of other people's property for transactions.
After nodding with satisfaction, Su Yuan turned to Yang Sheng and smiled, "Okay, then we'll take our leave. I wish you all great fortune!"
After saying that, he left with his bodyguards.
Uncle Hu was very confused and puzzled about her sudden departure.
For a moment, he even wondered if his prices were too low, which made the guests feel they could easily leave.
However, no matter what the other party was thinking, Su Yuan and Yang Sheng had already driven away from the place of trouble.
Only when the wheels rolled onto the wide, straight highway did she breathe a sigh of relief, feeling truly relieved. "I thought we'd run into a lot of trouble, but unexpectedly everything went quite smoothly."
She gently stroked the cover of the account book, unable to believe how smoothly it was going.
The cover of this account book is a little worn, but it still reveals a sense of time.
Every stroke seemed to be telling the story of the past, and her heart was filled with both uneasiness and a glimmer of hope.
Yang Sheng in the driver's seat did not respond.
He drove quietly, with no expression on his face, his eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead.
The scenery outside the car window passed by quickly, just like the passing time, which could not be stopped or retrieved.
He seemed to be thinking about something important.
Su Yuan flipped through the account book in her arms bit by bit, and the more she read, the more shocked she became.
Each page is recorded in great detail, and the story hidden behind each number seems to jump out of the paper.
It's not just as simple as all the treasures left by grandpa were taken away by Guo Jiangming, there are more complicated and secret reasons hidden behind it!
In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Yuan's back.
The sweat seemed to be the result of a mixture of fear and shock, making her shiver involuntarily.
She could feel her heartbeat quickening, and the nervousness even made it difficult for her to breathe.
She swallowed and quickly closed the account book.
He clutched the cover tightly with both hands, as if doing so could give him a sense of security.
Her fingers turned slightly white from exerting too much force, but the uneasiness that arose from within did not dissipate.
"Yang Sheng, how come they gave me this account book so easily?"
Su Yuan asked, her tone full of doubt and uncertainty.
The originally clear and bright eyes were now filled with confusion and doubt, as if there was an unsolved mystery waiting to be answered.
Su Yuan's tone was full of seriousness, and there was a worry look between her brows.
Such a change made the atmosphere in the entire carriage heavy. Even Yang Sheng, who was always smiling, was no longer as relaxed as usual at this time.
Yang Sheng didn't have time to think about it, he just glanced in the rearview mirror.
Through the small mirror, one can see Su Yuan frowning, and the solemnity on her face makes one feel a little nervous.
Then, slightly distracted, he replied: "Maybe this hot potato is a big problem in their hands."
Even though he said this, he himself was not completely sure about it.
Su Yuan closed her lips tightly, her face full of worry.
Perhaps it's because I realized the problem was much more difficult than I had imagined.
Or maybe they are simply afraid that the difficulties and challenges they will face next will exceed their expectations.
In any case, her heart seemed extremely conflicted at this moment.
"It's better this way. We can't use this account against Guo Jiangming right now."
Su Yuan said softly.
Having said that, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel depressed.
She knew that the weapons in her hands were not enough to launch an effective counterattack, and the other party clearly had the upper hand and was well prepared.
Yang Sheng couldn't help laughing, thinking that she was still a little girl.
Even though she has experienced many hardships, to some extent, Su Yuan still retains her innocent side.
"Don't worry, Uncle Hu will definitely go and settle the score with the Guo family anyway."
To comfort her, Yang Sheng preached like this.
Su Yuan nodded in agreement.
She knew that the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize her emotions and stay rational.
After all, you can't solve all problems by yourself. You need to rely on friends and allies around you to overcome difficulties together.
In the antique shop,
Uncle Hu couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Years of experience have taught him that one should always be flexible and adaptable.
As the saying goes, the devil is one foot high, and the way is ten feet higher. He finally gave away this hot thing.
Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Miss, please don't blame me.
He prayed silently in his heart.
Although this account book is one of the valuable sources of information you need, the contents recorded in it may not be the truth that you are willing to accept.
Xiao Hu noticed his uncle's smug expression and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are we going to do next? The boss has been arrested. Can we still go to work?"
The young man's eyes were full of confusion and expectation, hoping to get a clear answer.
