Chapter 53: The Theft Case Has Been Solved

  At that time, the weather was still very hot. Wen Meng ran to Hua Lang Detective Agency, her clothes were already wet and she was extremely thirsty. Hua Lang saw Wen Meng's hard work and quickly brought out a cup of cold tea, then took a fan to fan her.

  "Hualang fanned and asked with concern: 'It's just a message, it's not that urgent, why are you running so fast? Look at the sweat...'. Before Hualang could finish speaking, Huawen'er chimed in from the side: 'Look at this sweat, making my big brother worried to death!'"

  Being teased by Hua Wanyu, Hualang didn't mind and continued to fan Wen Meng. When Wen Meng felt much better, he hurriedly said: "I've found out the news you wanted me to investigate."

  "What news is this?" Hu Lang asked, and he too became focused, momentarily forgetting to fan Wen Meng.

  Yu Fu's family is considered wealthy in Tianchang County, and he has a reputation for being dishonest in business, often cheating customers and being arrogant, looking down on many people. We have experienced this firsthand.

  Everyone nodded in agreement, they had indeed been taught a lesson by his arrogance. A person's character is not easy to change, he was arrogant in front of Hua Lang and the others, and probably also in front of other people.

  "After that, Wen Meng continued: 'I also investigated Yu Fu's background. He was originally the steward of Qi Xianyuan's household in Tianchang County. Later, he hooked up with Qi Xianyuan's daughter, Qi Yingying, and became Qi Xianyuan's son-in-law. Since Qi Xianyuan had no sons, after his death, all his property became Qi Yingying's. However, Qi Yingying was rather weak-willed, and gradually, her entire fortune was swallowed up by Yu Fu. The Qi household thus became the Yu household, and Qi Yingying remained as his wife, no longer managing the household affairs.'"

  After hearing Wen Meng's words, Hua Lang hurriedly asked: "Is Yu Tingting the daughter of Yu Fu and Qi Yan?"

  Wen Meng nodded: "Yes, Yu Fu has indeed taken over all of Qi Jianyuan's property, but he has never married another woman or taken a concubine. It is said that he doesn't even go to brothels, and his relationship with Qi Yingying is also very good, which is really strange."

  After listening, Hualang smiled faintly: "Actually, there's nothing strange about it. A man's character and his feelings for a woman are not related at all. A man can be very bad, so bad that everyone in the world wants to kill him, but this doesn't affect how good he is to the woman he loves."

  The most difficult thing in the world to understand is love. When Hua Lang thought of this sentence, his body suddenly shook violently. After seeing Wen Meng, he had a deep understanding of it.

  "Now that you know all this, what do you want to do?" Yin Wuchang saw that everyone was silent for a moment, and then asked.

  Hualang thought for a moment and said: "Let's wait, if Yu Fu is unwilling to cooperate, we won't be able to make any progress at all."

  They had only to wait, and they did not have to wait long.

  At dusk, when the sunset was just right, Yu Fu dragged his fat body to the Flower Gentleman Detective Agency again. After seeing Hua Lang, he immediately smiled and said: "Thanks to Mr. Hua's help today, I've already found that traitor. Here are the remaining 90 taels of silver, please accept them."

  After hearing Yu Fu's words, Wen Meng and others were all somewhat surprised. They did not expect that Hua Lang had guessed correctly, and Yu Fu really didn't want Hua Lang to intervene in this matter again.

  And what a clumsy way to stop Hualang from intervening in this matter.

  Seeing Yu Fu like this, Hua Lang didn't expose him, but smiled and said: "I don't dare to take credit, I just went to check the scene and said it might be an insider, it's not a meritorious act."

  Yu Fu smiled and shook his head: "How can it not count, if it weren't for those few words from Master Hua, I wouldn't have known that the traitor was behind it. Ninety taels are placed here, this case is also considered closed. I wish Master Hua a wide range of wealth, farewell."

  Yu Fu finished speaking and didn't wait for Hua Lang's response, he directly turned around and left the Hua Lang Detective Agency. Hua Lang shrugged his shoulders, picked up the ninety taels of silver on the table, counted them, and found that there was not a single tael missing, exactly ninety taels.

  The young man gathered up the silver and said with a smile: "I only went to take a look at the scene and earned one hundred taels of silver, this money is really easy to earn."

  Hua Lang said so, Wen Meng felt very strange and asked: "Do you really believe that Yu Fu has caught the inner traitor?"

  Hualang shook his head: "I naturally don't believe it, but since Yu Fu has already given us the remaining money, then this case is considered closed. Now we have no reason to intervene, what can be done?"

  What Hualang said is right, regardless of whether Yu Ruyu really found the jade pendant or not. Now that the silver has been settled, Hualang has nothing to do with this case anymore. Without an invitation from Yufu, how could he have intervened in this case?

  Moreover, although Hualang discovered some suspicious points, they were just that - suspicious points. He felt that the jade Ruyi was not simple, but he didn't know where it wasn't simple.

  After hearing Hua Lang's words, Yin Wu Cuo said with some resentment: "Are we going to be played by Yu Fu like this? He lets us investigate and we go, he doesn't let us investigate and we don't investigate?"

  "Of course not. Since we didn't receive an invitation from Yu Fu, we can't openly investigate. But that doesn't mean we can't secretly investigate."

  If you're interested in something, what's the point of making money? Isn't life just about having fun?

  Everyone was excited to hear that they were going to conduct a private investigation, because the more secretive it was, the more thrilling it would be. People like them craved excitement in their lives and believed that only an exciting life was worth living.

  After deciding to conduct a private investigation, they didn't have any leads. To find out the secret of Yu Ruyi, they must first find Yu Ruyi, and then catch the little thief, but Yu Fu refused to cooperate, so how could they catch the little thief?

  The thief is likely to be in the Yu Fu, and it's possible that they can get a clue by sneaking into the Yu Fu. However, among the few people who have seen Yu Fu, none of them are likely to be able to sneak in.

  But even if they can't blend in, it doesn't affect their ability to get the clues they want.

  If Yu Fu found the jade Ruyi, then this matter must have been spread in his mansion. They can find someone in the mansion to ask and know.

  If Yu Fu didn't find the jade Ruyi, he would not give up easily. He would definitely try to probe the people in the mansion and then Flower Lang and his men could just bribe one of the servants in the Yu Mansion.

  After making such a plan, the four of them immediately took action. They found a young servant named Ali in Yu Fu's mansion and learned from Ali's mouth the information they wanted to get.
