A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!
Chapter 117 Recovering the Items
May I ask how to address the person in charge?
Wen Yuning stepped forward and bowed to the man sitting at the head of the table.
My surname is Xue. How should I address you, young men?
My surname is Wen, and the man next to me is my brother, surnamed Meng. As for the other person, you should know his background.
The reason Wen Yuning didn't introduce Chen Zicong was because this person had been gambling heavily at the casino for so many days, and the casino must have known about this kind of generous fat sheep well.
Yes, I've already heard from my men about the men who came to see me.
According to the rules of our line of work, if I let you two take the stuff away so easily today, how am I supposed to lead my brothers in this business in the future?
Besides, who can prove that the items belong to you?
I also said that the contents of this box belong to this little brother on the ground!
Xue Tingwei saw that there were only two people coming. Although one of them was somewhat skilled, he had many brothers and wouldn't be afraid of the two in front of him. Naturally, he looked down on these two brothers at this moment.
Chen Zicong, whose name was mentioned on the ground, had been speechless ever since he saw who was attacking him, and he didn't know how this matter would end.
Wen Yuning glanced at the person sitting above, who had no intention of returning the item to her.
It seems that the only way to resolve today's matter is to invoke the name of a powerful figure.
Manager Xue, although there are only two of us here today, we are not representing my brother and me. I suppose that the one who told you what I said to your men outside just now did not tell you.
What you are withholding now does not belong to either of us.
The reason why my brother and I dared to come to you alone to ask for things is that we are not without support.
Look at my brother and me, are we dressed like people who would own such things?
You've taken something from a VIP, but to put it bluntly, I'm afraid even if you live to take it, you won't have the fortune to enjoy it!
Hey you brat, how dare you threaten my master! I'll make sure you don't leave this house alive today!
Upon hearing Wen Yuning's words, not only Xue Tingwei felt that this person was somewhat presumptuous, but also the people sitting below him felt extremely insulted!
At that moment, a burly man stood up and walked directly toward Wen Yuning.
Seeing that this person actually wanted to make a move, Meng Xing immediately blocked Wen Yuning's way, got into a fighting stance, and prepared to attack!
Third brother, come back!
Listen carefully to what my little brother has to say, and stop thinking about fighting and killing!
When Xue Tingwei saw that his own people were about to teach the two a lesson, but the two showed no fear, he was unsure whether what the man had said was true.
Young man, judging from what you've said, you're also working for someone else. May I ask who your superior is?
Although Xue Tingwei runs a gambling den and lives in the lower rungs of society, it is precisely this kind of person who cherishes his life more.
Hearing the two people in front of him say that they had powerful backers, and then attacking them without finding out who was behind them, is not the behavior of a good decision-maker.
Wen Yuning thought the person in charge of the gambling den was quite intelligent, so she felt somewhat reassured.
Having a brain is good; you don't have to use your hands to solve problems.
Steward Xue, let me tell you the truth today. The things you withheld belong to a powerful person. As for who that person is, I can only tell you that it is related to the most influential person in our prefecture.
I was just doing my job poorly, which is why someone stole my things. If I didn't want to be punished, I would have told the important person long ago!
When that time comes, I suppose I won't be able to escape the punishment from above. As for you, I think you can guess what will happen to you!
Tsk, what did Xue Tingwei hear? Dongxi is the most influential person in this city.
The information revealed by these words startled him. If what this kid said was true, then he had stirred up a hornet's nest today!
Looking at the young man before him, Xue Tingwei remained calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil!
I wonder how many people know about this today. If it's just these two kids, could I...?
Steward Xue, have you thought this through?
When I arrived, I had already told my other brothers about the matter. If I don't get my things back today, I can only wait for a benefactor to come and resolve the issue!
Holy crap, someone actually knows about this!
"Luckily, I haven't made a decision yet!" Xue Tingwei thought to himself.
Young man, since it's a misunderstanding, and we are reasonable people, we should naturally return your lost items.
Come on, go and get the things for them!
Xue Tingwei was unwilling to gamble with his life and fortune, and he thought the other party was not deceiving him.
Just look at that kid who was about to make a move. Why did he have such a menacing aura? He must be someone who was following orders.
Well, some fortunes aren't something you can enjoy just because you're born with the right fate.
Since Xue Tingwei had spoken, someone brought the items.
When Wen Yuning saw the person hand her a cloth bag, she assumed that the lost pearls were inside.
Steward Xue, let's borrow this place from you again and count the items!
After Wen Yuning finished speaking, without waiting for a response, she opened the cloth bag, took out the box, and began counting the pearls one by one.
After stating the quantity, he carefully examined each pearl in the box, fearing that these people might try to pass off inferior goods as genuine!
Xue Tingwei's lips twitched as he watched the young man's actions below...
No wonder he can get things done for important people...
Wen Yuning checked that the quantity was correct and that the pearls should also be fine, so she closed the box and cupped her hands in greeting to the person seated above her.
Thank you, Steward Xue, for your understanding. Please do not spread today's events. My brother thanks you in advance!
Sure, sure!
Xue Tingwei found the young man's words to be exactly what he wanted to hear. It would be best if everyone kept this matter to themselves!
After leaving the gambling den, Wen Yuning and his companions did not go directly back to their rented residence.
There was just one more thing that needed to be addressed.
Seeing Chen Zicong being dragged along by Meng Xing, looking like a dead man, Wen Yuning felt no sympathy for him.
Meng Xing, bring your men and come with me to the government office!
After speaking, Wen Yuning walked towards the alley entrance first.
When Chen Zicong, who was being held down, heard that the person in front of him was going to the government office, his expressionless face finally showed a reaction.
I'm not going to the government office. Let me go, brother. Let's talk this out!
I can't go to the government office! If I go there, my future will be ruined!
Chen Zicong shouted desperately at the person in front, but Wen Yuning just kept walking forward without turning her head!
Once they were out of the alley, Wen Yuning, to prevent the master and servant from escaping again, found some hemp rope and tied them up tightly!
The two later hired a carriage and brought people to the government office.
When Chen Zicong was about to enter the government office, he resisted fiercely and struggled desperately, but unfortunately, he was far inferior to Meng Xing in terms of strength.
Chen Zicong already knew what awaited him after meeting the officials from the government office.
