Chapter 32: Unbelief

All the people who participated in the search for silver entered the house. Hu Batian immediately winked at his men and asked them to follow in and keep an eye on them, so as to prevent anyone from stealing while searching.

Seeing so many people entering his house, Liu Dongluo felt nervous for a moment and wanted to stop them, but he was worried about arousing Hu Batian's suspicion.

He could only comfort himself in his heart that the things were hidden well enough and no one should be able to find them.

However, seeing that the girl was also going to follow in to search, he frowned and winked at his wife, signaling her to quickly stop them.

Ge saw Liu Dongluo's wink, but she ignored it. Instead, she lowered her eyes and stared at the ground in a trance.

Her husband's ruthlessness chilled her heart.

Although the things were hidden well, it was obvious that so many people went in to search, and seeing that Ge did not move, Liu Dongluo was anxious, but he could not act rashly.

The house where Liu Dongluo lived was a two-entry courtyard. After those people entered the house, they immediately searched through the boxes and cabinets in each room.

Ling Chu couldn't go straight to the destination as soon as she entered. If she went in and turned things out, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. So after entering the house, she also followed and wandered around in each room, pretending to be looking everywhere.

"Hey, whose girl are you? Why don't you stay at home and come here to interfere?" Seeing Ling Chu looking through a bottle, a man frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

Before Ling Chu spoke, another older man next to him, after hearing what his companion said, reached out and pulled the man.

"Don't pay attention to what Mr. Hu agreed to. If you want to get the reward, you'd better start looking quickly."

Although the man was a little dissatisfied, it was obvious that one of Hu Batian's followers was standing aside, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing them go to the other side to rummage through the cabinets, Ling Chu didn't say much, put down the vase in his hand, and turned to walk out.

The attendant next to her glanced at her, and although he did not stop her, he casually pointed to the man who was kneeling on the ground and knocking bricks on the other side and said, "You go to a group with that girl. The two of you can work together faster."

The man knocking bricks saw that he was big and strong, so he did not dare to resist. He stood up silently from the ground and followed Ling Chu.

Ling Chu glanced at him and said nothing.

She knew that the attendant just wanted her and the man to monitor each other to prevent someone from finding the silver and hiding it secretly.

Ling Chu walked to the door, but stopped and stepped aside to avoid it.

The man behind was wondering, but saw two men carrying a ladder and walking in, so he had to make way to the side.

Ling Chu was not in a hurry to go out, but watched the two men with great interest as they set up the ladder, climbed up the beam, and groped on it inch by inch.

Seeing her looking up for a long time, the man behind her couldn't help but get anxious, "Girl, let's hurry up and look."

Ling Chu's neck was tired of looking up, so she retracted her sight and walked out.

The man behind her breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

After leaving the flower hall, Ling Chu looked around and randomly chose a room to go in.

After the man who followed her went in, he immediately immersed himself in searching.

Ling Chu just walked around the room slowly.

After walking around for a while, Ling Chu was bored and had to make small talk, "Brother, what's your name?"

The man stepped out of a big cabinet and said sullenly, "My name is Zhou Wu."

"My last name is Ling."

Zhou Wu glanced at her, said nothing, and squatted down to knock on the floor tiles.

Ling Chu twitched his mouth, and after he knocked a circle, he said, "Let's go, there is no silver in this room, let's go to another place."

Zhou Wu frowned, stood up and took a look, and saw that there was really nothing to gain, so he had to follow him out.

When he arrived at the yard, he happened to see a man in his forties walking in with two servants.

When Hu Batian saw the man, he hurriedly stood up from the armchair and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Manager Lu, why are you here?"

Manager Tao is the chief manager of Changlefang, a gambling house in Kyoto. He has two managers under him, and this Manager Lu is one of them.

"Manager Tao saw that you didn't reply, so he asked me to come and see."

Although Hu Batian is a bully of this generation in Dongcheng, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Manager Lu, and carefully asked him to sit down.

Manager Lu was not polite either. After sitting on the armchair that Hu Batian gave up, he frowned and said, "Why, didn't you get the silver?"

Hu Batian smiled and said, "I'm asking someone to find it."

Seeing that Manager Lu's face was gloomy, Hu Batian hurriedly said to the follower next to him, "Let everyone come out and reply to Manager Lu."

After the follower agreed, he hurriedly called everyone who was looking for to the yard.

Hu Batian and the others had all arrived, and then he asked with a serious face, "Has anyone found the silver?"

When everyone saw his unhappy expression, they felt nervous and shook their heads, "No."

Manager Lu's face darkened, and Hu Batian quickly said, "Liu Dongluo said that he had lost all the silver, and all the valuables were sold, and the silver he got in exchange was also spent by him."

Seeing that Manager Lu's brows were twisted, Hu Batian quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at the Ge mother and daughter, "Liu Dongluo couldn't come up with the silver, so he asked his wife and daughter to serve Manager Tao to offset part of the silver."

Manager Lu looked in the direction of his finger and carefully looked at Mrs. Ge and the girl beside her. He saw that although Liu Dongluo's wife was old, she still had charm, and Liu Dongluo's daughter was also pretty.

So he waved to the two servants behind him, "Take them away."

Mrs. Ge was so scared that her face turned pale. She looked around anxiously. Seeing the two servants approaching, she suddenly knelt down to Ling Chu with a plop, "Please, young lady, please save us mother and daughter."

Ling Chu was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that among the people in the yard, Mrs. Ge would ask for help from a stranger.

Liu Xiangju was uneasy. Although she didn't know why her mother asked this girl, she saw her mother crying and begging, and she knelt down with tears.

[Ding! Request task detected. ]

[Host, please complete the task and rescue! ]

Ling Chu glanced at the virtual screen and didn't expect the system to have a task issued.

Originally, she came to find the hidden silver for the twenty taels of reward silver.

But the Ge mother and daughter asked her for help, and the system issued a task, so she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

"Manager Lu, if I can help find Liu Dongluo's silver, can you let the Ge mother and daughter go?"

Manager Lu knew that Hu Batian would sometimes offer some rewards to find people to help find the silver in the debtor's house.

Although he didn't understand why she wanted to help the Ge mother and daughter, he didn't ask much.

Although Manager Tao was a little lustful, he valued silver more.

But Manager Lu saw that the girl was so young, he didn't believe what she said, "Miss, do you know where Liu Dongluo's silver is hidden?"
