"Boss, do you think this ingot of gold is enough?" Li Xian'er asked. Seeing the boss nagging on and on like an old monk reciting scriptures really annoyed him.

The boss had run a noodle restaurant for most of his life, but this was his first time seeing such a large gold ingot. Greed flashed in his eyes, and he took the gold ingot in his hands and weighed it, thinking, "Oh, it's so heavy! It looks like it's at least five liang. "

"Enough! That's enough! "

He looked back and forth lovingly at the gold ingot in his hand and found that there was a seal of an official's family branded on it. It was obvious that this gold ingot was genuine. Could it be that this gold was stolen from somewhere? If he did steal it, the authorities would want to investigate it in the future. He was afraid that he would get into trouble too, so he decided to ask first.

She lowered her head and left in a hurry. This detail was probably noticed by Yin Luohong. She sneaked a glance at the assistant who was walking towards the kitchen and thought, "How secretive, what tricks does the boss want to pull?"

The shopkeeper put the gold ingot on the table and smiled at Li Xian'er, "Little brother, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I've opened my own shop for most of my life, but I've never seen anyone as rich as you. May I ask where you're going to make a fortune?"

"Oh, I... "I …" The shopkeeper's question made Li Xian'er somewhat incoherent. Where could she possibly have made a fortune? This gold was only found in the bamboo forest last time. Even if the shopkeeper told her the truth, he probably wouldn't believe it.

At this moment, the waiter came out of the kitchen with two bowls of tea in his hands.

The shop owner saw that Li Xian'er was hesitating, and thought to himself: "As expected, the origins of these two are indeed unknown, and they may even be the bandits the government wants. If we capture these two and hand them over to the government, we might even get a handsome reward."

Thinking of this, he shot a glance at Qian Huanhuan and thought to himself, "Since this chubby girl knows him, they must be in the same group. But this girl's strength is indeed great. I'm afraid she won't be easy to deal with."

Li Xian'er said, "Boss, we've also given you the money. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

When the three of them were about to leave the noodle store, they saw the shop assistant close the door in a hurry. The other shop assistants blocked the three of them from leaving with a dark expression.

The noodle store was empty after what had just happened. There were no longer any customers inside.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Yin Luohong said with dissatisfaction, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

The owner stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "I just want to invite you two to stop here for a while, drink some tea, and chat, especially since this little brother here has given me so much money, enough to expand the store by ten times. This old man is very grateful, but it would seem petty not to entertain the two of you."

Hearing that, Qian Huanhuan curled her lips and snorted, "What you said was really nice. Just these two cups of tea are enough to be considered a treat? "You're really stingy!"

Li Xian'er said, "Boss, we appreciate your kindness. We still have matters to attend to …"

As he said that, he saw the waiters glare at the three of them with a vicious look, as if they were rubbing their hands together. From the looks of it, they were going to drink the tea no matter what.

At this point, Yin Luohong finally understood the boss's intentions. She smiled sweetly at Li Xian`er and said, "Since it's hard to refuse, then we can't refuse. It's just that …" After saying that, she picked up the teacup, placed it before her nose and sniffed. "Boss, this tea of yours is not a good tea. Could it be that there's something that shouldn't be mixed in it?"

He pretended to be calm as he said, "You can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. This tea is the best tea in Twin Peak Town, and ordinary people can't buy it, only the court's princes and officials can drink it. As for its color and taste, it's different from normal tea leaves."

Yin Luohong snorted and put the cup in front of the boss, "You still dare to say that there's nothing in it?"

Seeing how confident Yin Luohong was, the boss felt guilty, "Could it be that she found the knockout drug in the tea?" He looked towards the shop assistant with a flustered expression. The shop assistant also looked at the shop owner with a confused expression.

Trembling, the shop owner took the teacup and looked inside. Just as Yin Luohong said, there was indeed something at the bottom of the teacup. However, it was not an aphrodisiac that had not been dissolved, but something more terrifying.

When the boss saw this, his entire body started to tremble. Everyone was very surprised to see the boss's expression. They didn't know what he was so frightened about. They all stretched out their necks to look into the teacup.

Yin Luohong said, "Boss, if it's convenient, can I have a word with you?"

After hearing that, the boss hurriedly nodded and replied, "Sure!" Convenient! Please... Please come with me. "

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yin Luohong and the owner entered a side room one after the other.

Li Xian'er scratched her head as she exchanged glances with Qian Huanhuan. She didn't know what was going on in her gourd.

Entering the room, the boss hurriedly closed the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His hand that was holding the teacup was still shaking.

She took the teacup from the boss's hand and took out something from inside. She waved it in front of the owner's eyes and said, "Boss, you'd better take a good look to see if this thing is real or fake."

"I don't dare." The boss shook his head and said to Yin Luohong in awe.

What on earth had made him so frightened?

This thing was the token for the West Branch Company's business trip. But then again, there were so many tokens in the public service. How could a mere token recognize a commoner like him?

If an ordinary talisman was something that no one could recognize, even if there was someone who was aware of it, they would suspect whether it was real or fake. However, this was not the case for the Western Market's talisman. This could only be said to be too "ingrained in the hearts of the people". It could be said that the western factory was too "ingrained in the hearts of the people". They had authority over the private sector, persecuted the loyal, killed the innocent and disregarded human life. The common people had already hated them to the bone, but they dared not to say anything.

The boss bowed respectfully to Yin Luohong and asked, "May I know what Sir has instructed me in this visit?"

Yin Luohong raised his head high and said proudly, "This time, we are under the order of Western Workshop's Director Pang to supervise a case. We were passing by you, but didn't expect that Sixth Young Master would meet an old friend."

"Little Six?" The boss muttered to himself.

"Yes, it's the one who gave you the gold ingots."

When he first met Li Xian`er, he felt that she gave off a rather delicate feeling. To say that she was a man was to say that she was a woman was to say that she was a man dressed as a man, but she was actually a father-in-law. Since she was a public servant, it made sense that the gold ingot in his hand had an official's imprint. However, the boss didn't expect this person to actually know that fat girl. However, from her words, it sounded as if she had some sort of relationship with this little Sixth Young Master.

If he had known that they knew each other, he wouldn't have said those unnecessary words, in case this displeasing incident brought about trouble for himself. The people from the western factory could be said to be extremely vicious, they were people who ate people without spitting out their bones, and one of his friends from before had offended a minor character from the western factory and ended up in prison for some unknown reason. In the end, his family was unable to save him even after spending all their money.

Thinking of this, the boss tried to feel dizzy before he sat down on a chair.
