Chapter 1757: Settling Scores After Autumn

Ye Liuyun gathered up his things, gave her no explanation, feeling there was no need to let her know so much.

He merely told Lan Xin, "Go fetch the shopping guides Xi Lan and Qing Yu."

Ye Liuyun also intends to deal with the two shopping guides who incited Liu Congfeng yesterday.

He isn't necessarily doing this to vent Lan Xin's anger.

He simply feels uneasy if he doesn't eliminate such behind-the-scenes petty people.

"Huh?"

Lan Xin, somewhat puzzled, asked: "Do you have something?"

"I can help you with it!"

"Just go ahead; you can't handle this matter!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, telling Lan Xin to hurry up and handle it.

As Lan Xin walked, she also wondered whether she had asked too much, intruding on Ye Liuyun's secret, and whether he wanted to replace her as his attendant.

"Could she think I'm too conservative, not proactive enough!"

She also thought of how Xi Lan and Qing Yu, two very open women, would actively offer themselves to wealthy clients.

"Could it be that he has this idea but just won't say it outright?"

She also felt a bit regretful at this moment.

Ye Liuyun clearly gave her many opportunities, yet she wasn't proactive enough.

Lan Xin began to indulge in wild speculation.

Hearing Lan Xin summon them to see Ye Liuyun, Xi Lan and Qing Yu were initially puzzled, but seeing Lan Xin's grim face, they tentatively asked: "How come?"

"Did you offend that big client? He wants us to serve him?"

Lan Xin snapped: "I don't know; he only told me to summon you!"

Her attitude only deepened the women's misunderstanding, making them think they had guessed correctly.

"I'm not saying this about you! Such an important client, and you still won't attend to him properly! How willful! Don't you want to make money?"

Xi Lan feigned lecturing her.

"Exactly! Rest assured, we'll speak well of you later to change his impression of you!"

Qing Yu also gave a perfunctory reply.

Lan Xin also remained silent, well aware of the scheming among the shopping guides.

"Speak well for her?"

"That's impossible; not throwing her into the well is already decent."

When Lan Xin brought the two women back to Ye Liuyun's room, the guard captain from yesterday was also there.

"What is this for?"

Lan Xin felt doubtful.

The guard captain, at that moment, also worried that Ye Liuyun would hold him accountable for yesterday's incident.

He had released Liu Congfeng without any punishment.

He thought he hadn't harmed Ye Liuyun, merely slapped a shopping guide—no big deal.

He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to actually come settle scores.

"Come in, all of you, and shut the door!"

Ye Liuyun gave that order.

Lan Xin had no choice but to turn back and close the door.

Xi Lan and Qing Yu proactively stepped forward to greet Ye Liuyun.

"Greetings, Young Master Ye!"

"I didn't expect Young Master Ye to be so young!"

The two also added some flattery.

Ye Liuyun snorted coldly, then slowly said to the two women: "Tell me exactly how you incited Liu Congfeng yesterday—best to confess truthfully!"

Upon Ye Liuyun's words, the guard captain also felt a stir: "Could it be that these two women were the instigators.

"If so, I truly cannot stop him.

"Otherwise, if he investigates how I handled Liu Congfeng, I really would have no way to answer."

Xi Lan and Qing Yu were also startled.

They had thought they were coming to make big money, but didn't expect it to be a confrontation.

However, the two aren't stupid; if they spoke up, that would essentially confirm their guilt.

As long as they refuse to admit it, Ye Liuyun can't do anything to them.

"Young Master Ye, perceptive as you are, we know nothing about any Liu Congfeng!"

Xi Lan hurriedly defended herself.

"Yes, yes! How could we incite someone to come cause trouble at your place?"

Qing Yu echoed her.

"Obstinate and insensible!"

Ye Liuyun gave a cold snort, then asked the guard captain: "Do you know Soul Search?"

"I, a lowly person, cannot, but the Chamber of Commerce has experts who can perform Soul Search!"

The guard captain replied.

Upon hearing that Soul Search would be performed, the two women's faces instantly turned ashen.

"Innocent, Young Master Ye."

"We have no grudge, how could we incite others to cause trouble here!"

"Yeah! Young Master Ye, we didn't know you before, you can't wrongly accuse us!"

"The two of them also kept arguing."

"That Guard Captain also hesitated a bit."

"Ye Liuyun took out five million Spirit Stones, then looked at the Guard Captain and said: 'Yesterday's matter, you haven't given me an explanation, yet you released the person.'"

"'Today's matter, what do you say?'"

"'This... Young Master Ye, do you have any evidence?'"

"That Guard Captain asked."

"'Yeah, Young Master Ye, you have no basis, why suspect us?'"

"Those two women also became defiant."

"Ye Liuyun gave a cold smile: 'I just have no evidence, so what?'"

"'You... you can't be unreasonable!'"

"Those two women also pretended to be wronged."

"Ye Liuyun also ignored them, directly told the Guard Captain: 'But I have money! I want to search their memories.'"

"'Here are five million Crystal Stones, enough to buy their lives, right? If I'm mistaken, this money will go to your merchants' association.'"

"'But if you don't go find a Martial Cultivator who can perform Soul Search to give me an explanation, then you go find Liu Congfeng and have him apologize to me in person, and this matter will be settled.'"

"'You see, it's simple, right?'"

"Ordinary shop assistants' redemption fees are much lower than Lan Xin's."

"It takes two of them to equal her."

"That Guard Captain had also long heard that the Liu Clan was wiped out; where could he go to find someone?"

"He also knew Ye Liuyun was forcing him to find a Martial Cultivator who can perform Soul Search to carry out Soul Search."

"Moreover, Ye Liuyun placed five million Crystal Stones there as a stake."

"A wealthy, willful person—he had no way out."

"The merchants' association also only recognizes money, not people."

"'Alright then! I'll go find someone right away!'"

"That Guard Captain could only agree."

"'Thump, thump!'"

"Xi Lan and Qing Yu, seeing this, immediately knelt before Ye Liuyun."

"They all knew that after a Soul Search, a person would become an idiot, a fool."

"'Young Master Ye, we didn't mean to let Liu Congfeng disturb you; we just wanted him to cause trouble for Lan Xin, never expecting he'd dare smash the door to bother you!'"

"'Yes, Young Master Ye, Liu Congfeng didn't do anything to you; if you feel you've suffered a loss, we can compensate.'"

"That Guard Captain was about to turn and leave, but seeing the two women admit guilt, he saw no need to go."

"'It really was the two of you who instigated this?'"

"He also asked coldly."

"Ye Liuyun then said calmly: 'Speak, describe the scene back then in detail.'"

"Those two women also knew they couldn't escape, and truthfully confessed how they had stirred up Liu Congfeng and told him Ye Liuyun's room number."

"Ye Liuyun waited for them to finish, then looked at the Guard Captain: 'Is the matter clear?'"

"'Yes, clear! This time I will definitely give Young Master Ye an explanation.'"

"That Guard Captain replied."
