Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After listening to Huixin's description, Gan Yu pondered and said, "I see. It's not uncommon. Merchants will always do things driven by greed for money."

"So, senior, do you have a solution?"

Gan Yu nodded.

"Of course, I've handled hundreds, even thousands, of similar cases. Let me think about what method to use this time..."

Hundreds and thousands of cases of experience—is this all the work experience of this venerable woman? Amazing!

"Hmm... let's use this method this time—'The one who understands a person best is often their enemy.'"

Upon hearing this, Huixin, puzzled, exclaimed "Eh?"

Seeing this, Gan Yu explained, "In my memory, 'Rongfa Shop' and 'Wanyou Shop' have always been competitors in terms of product categories and market segmentation... Since that's the case..."

"In that case... Ah, I understand what you mean, Senior Gan Yu!"

Listening to this riddle-like conversation, Paimon said with a headache, "Wait, I don't understand..."

"Senior Gan Yu's intention is to have them expose each other."

Seeing that no one objected to the plan, Gan Yu said, "Let's go to 'Wanyou Shop' first. Remember the owner's name is... Bo Lai, right?"

With hope of a solution emerging, Huixin happily took the initiative to lead the way.

"Yes, please follow me!"

Bolai is an old acquaintance of ours.

I bought some rainbow flowers from him before, yes, that's the one. Remember me?

It's okay if you can't remember, just knowing his name is enough.

Bolai saw the three familiar figures approaching: the Traveler, the White Flying Object, and Miss Lingling, and quickly greeted them.

"Oh, there are two more travelers I've met before... You're from Moonsea Pavilion, aren't you? Hehe, do you perhaps have some big order to bestow upon me?"

Seeing Bo Lai's flattery, Gan Yu waved his hand expressionlessly.

"You're overthinking it, Mr. Bolai. At present, 'Wanyou Shop's' reputation isn't strong enough to directly accept large orders from Yuehaiting. Even if such an opportunity existed, it would likely fall to 'Rongfa Shop.'"

Bo Lai got angry the moment Gan Yu uttered the name "Rongfa Shop".

"What! 'Rongfa Shops'? Damn it... that brat Dongsheng, why does he always get to snatch away all the good deals..."

Seeing that she had successfully stirred up trouble, Gan Yu did not reveal any flaws in her acting skills, and then poured oil into the fire.

"Yes, Rongfa Shops has always had an excellent credit record, and they are always very proactive in filing their taxes each year..."

"Heh... filing taxes? Proactive?"

"Hmm? What does Mr. Bolai mean?"

When Gan Yu asked, Bo Lai, in a bad mood, poured out all of Gan Yu's story.

"Don't fall for it. I know that kid better than anyone how wicked he is. If you don't believe me, show me their store's tax invoice, and I'm sure I can find something wrong with it."

After Bo said that, Gan Yu pretended not to know and secretly observed him, asking suspiciously, "How do you know so much about the operation of 'Rongfa Shops'?"

Seeing this, Bolai immediately affirmed, "Of course! I hate every single deal they make! Seeing that kid make money is more painful than me losing money myself!"

The attempt to ignite the fire was successful! Gan Yu took the tax bill from Hui Xin and handed it to Bo Lai.

"Please take a look at this tax bill. Based on your feedback, we will reassess the creditworthiness of 'Rongfa Shop'."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely read it carefully... line by line, word by word..."

After receiving the tax bill, Bo finished reading it more than ten minutes later and shouted excitedly.

"I've got it! I've got it! What about the high-end wooden furniture I bought from 'Fanmutang' at the beginning of the year? He even bragged about it to me! Look at this tax invoice, not a word about it! That kid ate all the profits!"

Upon discovering the discovery, Huixin leaned closer to verify it.

After a few clicks of pages turning, Huixin nodded and said, "I see. It seems he disposed of all the relevant documents for this transaction... No wonder we couldn't find anything..."

"Hmph, I knew it... you didn't disappoint me. I can't wait to see him embarrassed."

Having received confirmation that "Rongfa Shop" had engaged in tax evasion, Huixin retrieved the tax bill.

However, since there was a possibility but no conclusive evidence, Huixin was still unsure, so she looked at Ganyu and asked for his opinion.

"But senior... even so, he can still categorically deny having done this deal, right?"

Gan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, but even if he destroys all the evidence, I believe the source, 'Fan Mutang,' will still have left something behind..."

Bo Lai nodded emphatically, then suddenly said, "That's right! Old Master Lu of 'Fanmutang' won't listen to Dong Sheng's arrangements. Old Master Lu must still have the receipt."

"I hope so. Then let's go to 'Fanmutang,' it should be near Qingce Village. Thank you for your whistleblowing, Mr. Bolai."

Upon hearing Gan Yu suddenly express her gratitude, Bo Lai quickly waved his hand.

"Hey, it was just a small favor. Please find the evidence and deal with him severely. That would be the best way to thank me."

After saying goodbye to the other party, Gan Yu, Ying, Huiyuan, and Paimeng arrived at Qingce Village.

Because Huixin had her own work and it was inconvenient for her to leave Liyue Harbor, she did not come along.

Following Gan Yu, they soon found Master Lu of "Fan Mutang".

Grandpa Lu was a hunchbacked old man. Although he wasn't completely white-haired, you could still tell that he was quite old.

Upon seeing someone approaching, Master Lu put down his work and began to greet them.

"Welcome, welcome! What brings you gentlemen to this old carpenter? If you wish to become my apprentices, I would be delighted, but I cannot accept so many at once. Perhaps you could become my adopted sons first..."

He immediately expressed his willingness to take on apprentices, which clearly shows that Grandpa Lu is likely an elderly man living alone without children. Or perhaps his children are unwilling to inherit his craft.

"Qingce Village is full of pitiful and lonely old men."

"...I heard the one flying!"

Seeing that the other person was not hard of hearing, Paimon quickly apologized.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Although Lu Ye's tone was rather fierce when he criticized Paimon, he still had a smile on his face.

Rather than blaming Paimon for being impolite, it was more like wanting to tease Paimon.

But Paimon was frightened by the tone and hid behind Ying, lowering his head. He didn't see Lu Ye's sneer.
