Chapter 362: Hurry and Leave

 Chapter 362: Hurry and Leave

After Shu Feng tidied himself up, he still felt uneasy. He discreetly opened a corner of the painting to confirm that everything was fine before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Immediately, he turned around abruptly and said to Meng Yunzheng, "If you want to settle the score or fight, do it behind closed doors. I won't accompany you." With that, he swung his sleeve and quickly walked towards the exit. The few workers from the black market looked at each other. They were now certain that this person was indeed the distinguished guest from the auction house and the one who had purchased the painting. They were afraid that something else might happen, so they hurriedly followed him outside. The remaining worker looked at the people in the room and asked in a low voice, "Customers, should we go back to the auction house first?" "What's there to go back for?" Meng Yunzheng became furious. He pointed at Zhao Xi and kicked him again. "The auction items I wanted were all taken away. Why would I go back? I warn you, find the purse for me as soon as possible, or prepare to bury yourself when we return." Zhao Xi trembled in fear. Then he looked at the worker from the black market and blamed him, "Why did the black market have thieves? Wasn't it supposed to be safe? Now my money has been stolen. You should give me an explanation." The black market worker... he should have left earlier. Fortunately, the manager of the black market quickly arrived, bringing along a purse. "I apologize to the esteemed guests for the inconvenience caused by our negligence. We have found the purse. It was in the bushes outside, probably accidentally hooked by a branch." He deliberately didn't mention the thief, nor did he admit that there were thieves in the black market. Implicitly, the purse might have been lost by the customers themselves. The manager's attitude was much stronger compared to the worker. He had never seen the customers in front of him before. It seemed that they were all first-time visitors. No wonder such a big commotion occurred. Regular customers wouldn't have caused such a scene. With a smiling face, the manager handed over the purse. "Esteemed guests, please count the silver inside to see if anything is missing." Meng Yunzheng, who had thrown the purse into the bushes, glanced at the manager and took it. Then he carefully counted the silver twice before looking up and saying, "Nothing is missing." The manager let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. Since everything is fine now, allow me to escort the esteemed guests back to their rooms. I will have some refreshments sent later as a token of apology." Meng Yunzheng put the purse away and snorted. "No need. The things I wanted were taken away. It's pointless to return to the room." Saying that, he looked at Zhao Xi. "You go to the private room, pack up our belongings, and we'll leave. Although the purse has been found, your trouble is not over. You failed to obtain the item, so you will take full responsibility. You will be punished when we return." Zhao Xili lowered his head and shivered. "Yes, my Lord." Meng Yunzheng then looked at Shu Yu. "We're leaving. What about you, Brother Yu?" "Let's go together. I have nothing to do anyway," Shu Yu replied. Meng Yunzheng nodded, and the two of them bid farewell to the manager. Once they left the room, Meng Yunzheng headed towards the main hall, while Shu Yu returned to the auction house. Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan, who were anxiously waiting in the room, were worried that something might have happened, but they didn't dare to rush out. Master Shan had instructed them to wait in the private room and continue keeping an eye on the room opposite. It wasn't until they saw Shu Yu walking towards them that Da Niu exclaimed in delight, "Ah Yu is back."
