Xu Yuan replied directly, putting down his crossed legs, and sitting on the couch. He rested his elbows on his knees, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness,
"You, old man, have no children or relatives, so where would you get a private stash of money? In the end, it would just be cooking the books, and such a large one-time expenditure is easily traceable. If the Black Scale Army finds out, they might have even bigger objections.
"And you know my capabilities in handling supplies. Previously, Lou Ji, that old woman, snatched a batch of Sumeru Rings from me. You must have gotten a share of the goods inside, right?"
"....."
After a moment of silence, Hua Hong furrowed his brows and asked:
"What goods?"
"Come off it, don't play dumb with me."
