As soon as Lu Wuzheng finished speaking, he noticed that the father and son were frowning, as if they had encountered a huge problem.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother, what did I do wrong? Should I not have taken this booklet? Should I take it back to my sister-in-law now?"

As he spoke, he stood up to return the booklet to Ji Yunshuang.

"No need!" Lu Yinheng called out to him, "Since she gave it to you, you should keep it safe."

No matter what achievements you make in the future, just always remember who gave you this booklet, remember their kindness, and repay them properly.

Lu Wuzheng hurriedly said, "Brother, I thought so too even if you hadn't said it."

Lu Yinheng nodded slightly, "Then go and study it carefully! Keep the booklet safe and don't let outsiders see it."

Lu Wuzheng solemnly replied, "Don't worry, elder brother, I understand."

That night, Lu Wuzheng spent the entire night in the storeroom, studying the weapons according to the booklet given to him by Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang then entered the space and began to collect her spoils.

Desheng Trading Company owns many businesses, and her gains this time have been quite substantial.

Silks and satins, antiques and calligraphy, rice and grains, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar... filled the empty space to the brim.

Ji Yunshuang stored them separately according to different categories.

Fortunately, she has telekinesis, so she doesn't have to move these things one by one. She can just use her telekinesis to move them to a suitable warehouse.

After sorting and storing all the supplies, Ji Yunshuang finally took a closer look at the pile of messy junk.

In her haste to finish her business, she didn't bother to examine the contents of each shop. Once she was sure no one was around, she quickly used her telekinesis to move them all into her spatial dimension.

Besides the money and goods in the shop, she would occasionally move brooms, tables and chairs from the shop into the space.

After moving out valuable items such as money and grain, Ji Yunshuang planned to dispose of brooms, tables, chairs, and other items.

But upon closer inspection, she discovered an unusual desk among a pile of tables and chairs.

The desk in front of me is not only made of the finest mahogany, but also features exquisite carvings. Most importantly, the decorative items on the desk exude an air of distinction.

Clearly, this desk is not for ordinary people.

At Desheng Trading Company, the only person who could use this desk was probably Huang Jiayu, the young master of Desheng Trading Company.

The drawers on the desk were all locked with exquisite brass locks.

Ji Yunshuang picked up an axe and chopped down several copper locks.

The drawer was opened, revealing Huang Jiayu's personal seal, private messages, and other items.

Ji Yunshuang read through all the private messages.

Judging from the private messages, things were indeed as Lu Yinheng had guessed. The Huang family had connections behind the purchase of the girl.

However, the person communicating with Huang Jiayu was very vigilant, and Ji Yunshuang could not discern the other party's identity simply by looking at the private messages.

Fortunately, in addition to the letters, she also discovered a number of account books.

According to the ledger, Ji Yunshuang not only found out who was behind the scenes, but also learned that although Huang Jiayu was nominally the owner of Desheng Trading Company, Desheng Trading Company did not actually belong to the Huang family.

Huang Jiayu is the operator of Desheng Trading Company, but most of the profits have to be supplied to the person behind the scenes.

So, was her action this time a punch to that person from afar?

However, perhaps the other party has many ways to make money and may not care about this small loss at all?

Ji Yunshuang was wrong about this.

When Fu Pei learned that all of Desheng Trading Company's properties had been stolen and that the losses were enormous, he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.

After throwing a huge tantrum, he finally said to the guards behind him, "Go and call Xiao Qi here."

The guard responded with a "yes" and immediately disappeared into the dark night sky.

Soon, the guards brought Xiao Qi back.

Without Fu Pei having to ask, Xiao Qi respectfully began to report.

Fu Pei's eyes flashed like lightning as he scrutinized him and said, "Are you saying that the business was indeed robbed this time, and that Huang Jiayu did not have any disloyal intentions?"

Xiao Qi was drenched in cold sweat. He said, "Master, I know it sounds absurd, but I really didn't find any disloyal intentions in Huang Jiayu. The business was indeed robbed of everything overnight."

"Who has such great abilities?"

Fu Pei's icy voice carried a hint of sarcasm, "Even if my father were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability!"

Xiao Qi lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

He couldn't understand how it all happened either.

He also knew that, given his master's temperament, he would inevitably suspect Huang Jiayu. If he told the truth, it might arouse his master's suspicion that he had switched his allegiance to Huang Jiayu and was speaking on his behalf.

Although he knew that telling the truth would arouse his master's suspicion, he still told the truth.

Seeing Fu Pei's face growing darker and darker, a trusted confidant couldn't help but step forward and plead, "Master... Xiao Qi doesn't have the guts. Besides, Huang Jiayu finally managed to get on our good side. He won't ruin his future before finding a better patron. There must be something going on. Please stay calm."

If I lose my composure at this moment and do something impulsive, and the prince notices… I might fall into someone's trap!

Prince Rui had five sons in total. Compared to the others, his son, whose mother came from a brothel, was really insignificant.

Prince Rui not only had great ambitions, but also cared deeply for the people; he was very busy every day.

As for him, the son of a lowly mother and an insignificant man himself, he rarely got to see Prince Rui.

But since he carries royal blood, how could he possibly be without any ambition?

Especially knowing his father's ambition, who knows, one day he might actually succeed...

At that time, he will also be one of the princes.

How could he not be tempted by that supreme position?

In fact, it wasn't just Fu Pei; several of Prince Rui's other sons had also long harbored such thoughts.

Inside the Prince Rui's residence, undercurrents were already surging.

Fu Pei listened to his confidant's words and gradually calmed down. However, he then sent a different bodyguard to Huang Jiayu's side.

He also gave an order that if Huang Jiayu was found to have any disloyal intentions, he should be executed immediately.

Although Huang Jiayu is very good at making money, his loyalty over the years has made his private wealth abundant and has played an indelible role in secretly cultivating his own power.

But he also knows quite a lot.

He himself is an ambitious person.

If he were to betray his brothers and side with one of them, the consequences... are simply unimaginable.

He was not Fu Ci, but a legitimate son who not only had a princess consort to plan for him, but was also favored by his father.

It wasn't Fu Jing either. Not only was his mother wealthy, but she also arranged for him to marry the daughter of a rich merchant... This would not only help his father's great cause and win his father's favor, but would also become an asset to him.

He has to rely on himself for everything, so he has to be very careful.

But he didn't know that at that moment, Ji Yunshuang was holding these ledgers that recorded his crimes, thinking about how to make him wish he were dead and make him repent for the crimes he had committed.
