"Master, is this really the right thing to do?" Huaiyu was a little nervous. He was afraid of the man's sudden betrayal.
"Huaiyu, I'm testing human nature."
Chu Qing looked at the gate of the mercenary camp with burning eyes. He was not very confident now.
At night.
"Master of the house."
Huaiyu walked up to Chu Qing with surprise on his face and whispered a few words. Chu Qing's eyes immediately lit up. It seemed that his idea was not wrong and he made the right bet.
"Call someone in."
Chu Qing calmed down her mood and still sat cross-legged at the coffee table to make tea.
When the thief came in, he only smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea, including a strange fragrance, and his nervousness was calmed down a lot.
"Master." He knelt on the ground.
"If you have anything to do, stand up and say, don't do this." Chu Qing's voice sounded, but he didn't look at anyone.
"yes."
The thief stood up and sat in front of Chu Qing. His hands grasped the hem of his clothes restlessly, his face was full of nervousness, and he opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything.
Chu Qing was waiting, waiting for him to speak, without urging or being in a hurry.
"Master of the house."
After hesitating for a long time, the thief finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said: "Actually, it's not the villain who wants to come to your place to cause trouble and steal things."
Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, it seemed like some people were about to surface. He didn't ask, just waited for him to say it.
"Master, the person who hired me is a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. He is very powerful, and there are even many capable people behind him to help him."
The thief subconsciously looked at Chu Qing's face, and when he saw that his appearance had not changed at all, he felt even more excited.
"The rich businessman likes to collect some strange things. After I heard that you got the scroll, he spent ten thousand taels of gold to hire me to steal your scroll. I didn't expect that I lost my hand here."
He scratched his head, but Chu Qing remained silent.
"Master, I really only know so much. That person is very powerful."
"Compared with the people of my Chu family?" Chu Qing said quietly. "Which one do you think is more powerful?"
"This?..." This question is difficult to answer. He is here to deliver a certificate of surrender, not a death.
"It's hard to say, isn't it?" Chu Qing took over, "Sometimes you can tell who has the ability by trying it, so let my people try to see if they can do it."
Chu Qing stood up and looked like he was giving advice. There was a voice in the thief's heart telling him that he had not followed the wrong person this time, and that he could lead him to great success.
Does a thief also want to climb to the top? He laughed at himself, but there was no way to dissipate the thought in his mind.
"You should go first, I will accept the certificate of surrender."
After the thief went out, Huaiyu quietly entered the room, "Master, how credible is what that person said? Do you want Huaiyu to test this person?"
"No need, I don't have any doubts about who I employ."
Chu Qing waved her hands, looking confident. "Go and find out how much money that Jiangnan rich man has, and whether he has the ability to fight with me. If not, just ask the people from the Nine Lives Sect to deal with them all."
His cruelty made Huaiyu stiffen up, and he immediately followed the order.
Chu Qing now looks more and more like the head of the family, unlike the first time they met. He doesn't know whether this is good or bad. However, Huaiyu told himself that if anyone dared to hurt Chu Qing, he would be the first to refuse.
Everything in the world has its destiny, and the fact that Chu Qing can sit in this position shows that he is not a simple person.
Even the thief or Huaiyu didn't see through him.
The next day.
Huaiyu handed the investigation results to Chu Qing. He nodded after seeing it, with a smile on his face, which was really eye-catching.
"I hope Huaiyu will never hide anything from me throughout his life."
