Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 525 - 103: The unofficial history isn’t necessarily true, but...

No one dictated that there should be only one Shen Garden.

It’s not like the pen names and book titles of online novelists in later generations; if you use it, I can’t.

The people of the Shen Family have the freedom to name their own property Shen Garden or a zoo.

The people from the Ma Family followed this address and vanished into thin air here.

Yet this butler of Shen Garden still has the audacity to claim he knows nothing about it.

"How can you not know?"

Wang Yunxiao, with the edge of the Flying Saucer Helmet in hand, smashed it harshly onto the butler’s backhand.

Every fall of the helmet’s metal rim would precisely shatter one of his hand bones.

The butler’s screams were incessant.

"You’re torturing me into confessing! Ahhh—!"

"Write, ’The butler of Shen Garden, Liu Fusheng, is uncooperative and refuses to cooperate with the investigation.’"

Wang Yunxiao instructed Matuan seriously, then thought for a moment and added, "Assault on an officer, attempted to grab his gun, was shot dead on the spot."

The butler was stupefied.

You need to see the master before beating the dog – don’t you know whose dog I am? You think you can bring down my master by casually framing me with charges, framing me with baseless accusations?

But when he saw Wang Yunxiao pull out a revolver, unload the bullets one by one, leaving only the last one, and aim it at his own forehead, he finally realized that the man in front of him was not joking.

Whether or not the Shen Family can be brought down is beside the point; if he doesn’t start talking, he definitely won’t see tomorrow’s sun.

"My patience is limited, so let’s cut the process short. I’ll ask, you answer, how about that?"

Wang Yunxiao placed his finger on the trigger and asked in a calm tone, "Have you seen anyone from the Ma Family?"

"I haven’t seen anyone."

Click, the trigger was pulled slightly.

"Ahhhh—!"

Under immense pressure, the butler screamed involuntarily.

"I’ll give you another chance, say it again."

Wang Yunxiao spun the cylinder of the gun a few times, then aimed it at his forehead again, "Have you seen anyone from the Ma Family?"

"Please, I beg you! I’m just in charge of the house, I really haven’t seen anyone from the Ma Family or the Niú Family; what exactly do the people of the Ma Family look like?"

Wang Yunxiao turned to Matuan and said, "Write, ’The butler confessed that the people from the Ma Family visited last night and a conflict ensued.’"

The butler was dumbfounded.

You’ve already written it down, why ask me anything else?

"Let’s change the subject. Are there any traps, secret passages, hidden rooms, or something like that in this courtyard?"

"Yes!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This time the butler answered especially eagerly, "I can take you there right now!"

Well, there’s an old saying in Ming Country, ’He who knows the times is a wise man.’

Wang Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction, turned the gun away, and pulled the trigger toward the ground beside him.

Bang—!

A gunshot sounded, the bullet flew off, and the butler shuddered violently, his face drained of all color.

After his men came in and searched, they found no signs of struggles, as if the address was fake – but that was to be expected. Given that such thorough preparations had been made, it was only natural that any traces would have been cleaned up afterward to avoid giving away any leverage.

Too bad they were dealing with Wang Yunxiao, a non-professional who doesn’t play by the usual rules.

It doesn’t matter if there is no evidence; I can still manufacture evidence on the spot.

The gun is in Laozi’s hands; I’ll play it however I like.

Of course, Shen Garden has hidden rooms, but such spaces are usually for hiding people or money; the key is concealment, and simple utility suffices. Therefore, they’re not built very spacious, like an underground city sprawling in every direction.

Embedded in the wall of the hidden room was a large safe about three feet tall, clearly of Western make, with a large and a small dial on it.

"I don’t know the combination."

This time the butler even learned to preemptively answer questions, which of course was quite understandable. The combination to a safe is naturally held only by the owner of the safe. Being just a housekeeping butler, he would not have access to such secrets.

"Shush—"

Wang Yunxiao signaled for him to be quiet, walked over, and pressed his ear against the safe, slowly turning the dial.

This kind of safe didn’t require a key, nor would it open by simply turning to a specific number; it had to be opened in a set sequence: first clockwise to one position, then counterclockwise to another...

Click—

Wang Yunxiao pressed down on the handle, and the door opened.

He heard the sound of his brother gasping behind him.

On top were Little Yellow Fish as thick as ten fingers, and beneath them were stacks and stacks of banknotes, both Colorful Banknotes and US Dollars.

"Big Brother... this..."

"This is prepared for us."

"Huh?"

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t calculate just how much money there was, but it was a lot.

So much that it could crush the sanity of any ordinary person.

The Shen Family’s money didn’t fall from the sky.

Such a large sum of money, appearing at such a delicate time and place.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

So, the intentions of the Shen Family were pretty clear.

To stave off disaster with money.

Investigate up to this point and go no further. The Ma Family hadn’t come to Shen Garden, Shen Qingxi wasn’t in Shen Garden either. With both the testimony and evidence at hand, seemingly closing the case would provide an explanation to all parties involved.

As long as they took the money, they could assure a carefree life for his brothers even if they roamed the ends of the earth, living a life of luxury and pleasure.

They could have whatever women they wanted...

How much could Eldest Miss Li be worth?

Wang Yunxiao turned around to see Matuan and Youbing standing behind him in a daze, Guozi looking at him disdainfully, and Eryang turning his head away as if deep in thought.

The brothers were all waiting for him to speak.

Even the butler he had tortured was staring eagerly at him, sincerely hoping he understood what it meant to recognize the times, what it meant to see the big picture.

Wang Yunxiao lifted his hand, loaded a bullet into the chamber, and pressed the muzzle against the butler’s forehead, asking coldly, "Who put the money here?"

The butler blinked, his face filled with confusion. He had anticipated many possible answers, but the young man in front of him was not taking the usual path.

"Sir, is this... important?"

"No."

Wang Yunxiao shrugged. "Write, ’Shen Garden’s butler confessed that Shen Qingxi’s biological father, Shen Zhidong, smuggled gold into the safe three days ago, intending to bribe the personnel handling the case to obstruct the investigation.’"

"No! It’s not like that at all!"

The butler panicked: "Sir, what exactly do you want? If you want the money, just take it; if you want my life, just shoot. What... what is this?"

"You and the money are both unimportant to me."

Wang Yunxiao sneered, "Have you ever heard a saying, ’Unofficial histories may not be authentic, but they guarantee to be wild’? Confessions are the same. Of course, you can choose not to tell the truth, but after I shoot you, you’ll have to say whatever I want you to say, understand?"

The butler was stupefied.

Sir, what kind of game are you playing here? I don’t understand!

"Last time I’m asking, where are the Ma Family people?"

The butler glared at Wang Yunxiao and shouted angrily, "I’ve told you I don’t know, means I don’t know! Do you really think you’re someone special? That you can do whatever you want in Tianmen with a couple of lousy guns? I don’t believe..."

Bang—!

The trigger was pulled, a bullet fired, and the back of his head exploded on the spot, his face bearing an expression of disbelief as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Wang Yunxiao turned back and ordered Matuan and Youbing, "Go find a sack, pack the money!"

"Big Brother, are we really taking it?"

"Nonsense, if you don’t take it, I don’t take it, how can the boss take it?"
