478: Almost Kneeled

Almost Kneeled

Seeing as Chu Qingchuan hadn't come out for a long time, Guier and Guiyi grew anxious. They no longer had the patience to keep a watch out in other places. The expression on their faces looked awful.1

 "Madam has been in there for almost half an hour now. Why hasn't she come out?"

" Could she be constipated?"

"Mm. That's possible."

"Say, why hasn't the master returned yet?"

Sigh! "Out of nowhere, the birthday fabrics that Shenwei sold to the Xu family were laced with poison, causing many people from the Xu family to break out in rashes. This is huge! If it's not handled properly, then Shenwei's reputation would definitely be tarnished!"

"Hmph! There must be a mole in Shenwei. For the past few years, the master has woken up early and slept late. He practically hasn't had a good day's rest. He wholeheartedly wanted Shenwei to flourish but in the end, after all the precautions, there's still a mole!"

"If I ever find out who's secretly playing tricks, I'll definitely help the master teach them a good lesson!"

"Me too."

 The two of them waited for another fifteen minutes before anxiety appeared on their faces.

"Say, do you reckon Madam fainted in there from the stomach ache?"

"That's a big possibility!"

 The two of them exchanged looks and made a decision.

"Madam! Are you alright?"

Not a single sound came from inside the toilet.

They called again but there was still no sound of movement.

Guiyi and Guier were really flustered.

"What should we do? Should we go in and take a look?"

The two of them looked at each other and nodded, then walked into the toilet to take a look. Was there still anyone inside?

 Then, they started to search all around the large washroom.

 Eventually, the two of them met up at the entrance.

"Found her yet?"

"Nope."

" What should we do? Let's hurry and go inform the master!"

"Wait! Let's look for her first. Perhaps we might find her. Who knows?"

"Mhm, alright. I'll look in that direction and you go in that direction. Let's meet up here in fifteen minutes."

" Mhm!"

 With that said, the two of them darted left and right of the washroom.

 After fifteen minutes, they met up.

" Found her yet?"

"Nope."

"Let's quickly tell the master. Who knows? She might have been kidnapped when we weren't looking."

"Crap crap crap! When the master realizes that Madam's missing, he'll definitely kill us."

After they exchanged anxious glances, they immediately flew off in one direction.

...

"Lord Yu, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let you go!"

Inside the room, a striking man dressed in glamourous white clothing and a white band around the center of his forehead spoke to Yu Wuhen in a chilling voice.

The man looked proper; his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and he was tall, thin, and charming. When stood next to the muscular Yu Wuhen, the man looked significantly different.

"I'm currently looking into it. I'll give you an answer in three days' time," repeated Yu Wuhen.

"Hmph... This is a matter of life and death! Till this very day, doctors haven't yet found a cure. There's no saying that the Xu family won't be wiped out in three days' time, and yet you still want me to give you three days? Yu Wuhen, do you have no shame? Didn't I already give you a three-day extension?"

After some contemplation, Yu Wuhen subtly clenched his fists to endure the humiliation. "I'm willing to give the Xu family a hundred thousand taels to control the outbreak. I only ask that you give me three days," he said with a serious voice.

"Hmph! Did you actually think that we need that little bit of money? Although our business isn't as vast as Shenwei which is located all around Donghua, Tao is also a renowned wealthy family. When it comes to money, we have enough for several lifetimes."

Knock knock knock! Just in that moment, a knock came at the door.
