Imperial Treasure-Chapter 739 - 453 Moving House_2

Even the officials dreaded him somewhat.

Such a formidable figure, since he was not an enemy, it was naturally best to be friends.

Fu Ling left soon after.

After she left, the light in the room seemed to dim a bit...

A person appeared behind the Old Master.

"Master, is Fu Ling still suspicious of you?"

"This woman is very cunning... Although she interferes considerably, the officials can’t do anything to her... Her connections are neither weaker nor stronger than mine... You need to be more careful in your actions in the future..."

"Then do we need to deal with her..."

The Old Master turned his head, casting him a cold glance.

The man immediately broke into a cold sweat, "I deserve to die."

"I don’t like people who are too stupid or pretend to be ignorant... I didn’t say you couldn’t do it..."

"Yes"

After a while, this person brought up Sui Yi... the matter within the school.

"Your Highness, does this person already know Sherlock is our man, hence the intimidation?"

"Not intimidation, but retaliation~~ Next time you meet her, you better watch your head~~ As I know, this person’s behavior has always been beyond common understanding," the Old Master’s hands were clasped behind his back, his fingers continuously rolling the Buddha Beads...

"Then her previous attitude towards my actions was..."

"You provoke her, yet you can’t tolerate her provoking you?~"

The Old Master’s laugh was rich, and he seemed in a good mood.

"Then, Master, you sent me to deal with her..."

"She wasn’t wrong,"

The Old Master turned to look at him, smiling slightly: "She killed Sherlock, wanting to trouble me, so naturally, I had you go and annoy her..."

"But that won’t cause her any substantial harm, right..."

"Appearances are enough"

The Old Master flicked the Buddha Beads, making a clear sound.

"Now, everyone in the business circle knows she owns the five big jade mines, at this juncture, it’s impossible for her to monopolize... Moreover, she has drawn the Cao Family into her fold, but the Cao Family’s appetite is so large, they might not turn against her... In the business fist, there are no true friends!"

"The Master is indeed powerful!"

"Enough, you may leave. The Imperial Guards have been watching me... They have already started to take action against the Li Family. Make sure you cover your tracks well; in Capital City, hide what can be hidden, sever what can be severed..."

"Yes"

The room’s lighting shifted, falling on the face of the person behind the Old Master. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Blond hair... isn’t that Hill?

The winter holidays passed, and Sui Yi brought some books from school to the apartment but moved out after only a few days. It wasn’t because the media was constantly watching her. Given that her apartment was also a high-end one in Capital City with tight security, the media could not enter, and even though some slipped through, it was not many, so it wasn’t disturbing her life significantly; it was just somewhat troublesome whenever she went out.

After all, her wealth was enough to rank her at the top of the list of wealthy families resident in this apartment. Whatever the reason, these days there were always some people, intentionally or unintentionally, gathering around her...

After several such instances, she felt that this place was not peaceful enough. Since the courtyard on the other side was already completely finished, moving had been brought up on the agenda.

In fact, Sui Yi’s so-called moving was quite simple; she didn’t bring anything else, and she would still occasionally return to this place. As for her clothing, she didn’t have much in the first place; now during winter, she also had to purchase a few sets...

So what she needed to bring was merely those numerous books.

With so many books, many of them valuable classical volumes, Sui Yi did not trust the moving company to handle them... Fortunately, Gong Jiu and Flower Demon were here...

Several cars were parked under the apartment, one for Gong Jiu, one for Flower Demon, one for Yhan Qingwu... Three cars were enough to hold Sui Yi’s books, and Sui Yi didn’t plan to move them all out...

But it still provoked complaints from Gong Jiu.

"I mean, Sui Yi, you’re not short of money; why don’t you get some nice, valuable decorations! A whole study room full of books isn’t enough; even the living room has three big bookcases, I thought those cabinets were for displaying antiques~"

Sui Yi indeed had a lot of antiques, firstly because she had a sharp eye, and secondly, because she was not short of money, and Capital City was a place with deep cultural heritage. She could buy whatever caught her eye anywhere, so day by day, her collection grew, yet these antiques still couldn’t compare to the number of books.

For someone like Gong Jiu who had hardly touched a book since the national college entrance exam, this was simply outrageous.

Flower Demon snorted at him, "That’s the difference between having culture and lacking it... Sui Yi has always liked reading books... But, Sui Yi, can you really finish reading so many books?"
