Chapter 298: Chapter 298: The Second Store

Bai Xifeng snorted in disapproval when she saw what Han Jianguo was attempting to do. In a mischievous move, she reached out her foot and tripped him. Han Jianguo was so focused on getting rid of the record that he failed to notice Bai Xifeng’s action.

Han Jianguo tripped on Bai Xifeng’s leg and fell to the ground with his face touching the ground. He growled in pain.

"You dare tripping me over?" Han Jianguo stood up.

"So what? What can you do to me, hmmm?" Bai Xifeng snorted.

She took the record and read the transaction.

"Hmmm... It seemed you stole a lot of money from this store." Bai Xifeng put the record in her sleeve.

Well, the record immediately entered her storage ruin. So, even if Han Jianguo grabbed her and searched for that record, he would not be able to find it.

"I will make a report and send it to the count magistrate. Oh... No need for that. I just can have my father report it directly to the emperor when he goes to morning court." Bai Xifeng stated.

"What? No, you can’t." Han Jianguo shook his head.

If this matter got to the emperor, he did not know what was going to happen to him. Not only him but his family as well.

"No, you can’t!" After thinking for a moment, Han Jianguo shouted again. "You can not report this to His Majesty."

"So, can you pay the money back?" Bai Xifeng grinned.

"That..." Han Jianguo hesitated.

"Oh, you don’t want to pay up?" Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes.

She was not holding back when it came to money. She would do anything to get back her money.

"Humph! If you don’t have to pay up, it is fine by me. But you need to remember that I will ask my father to..."

"No! I will pay up." Han Jianguo stated.

"Good... I will send the letter of IOU to your house later. So, please pay up within the time frame. Otherwise... You know what will happen if you don’t pay up, right?" Bai Xifeng’s grin became wider.

"Yes." That was the only reply that Han Jianguo said at that moment.

"If you already finished the thing here, can you please leave?" Bai Xifeng said.

Han Jianguo and his friend could not do anything but leave the store. Bai Xifeng turned back to Storekeeper Tao.

"Good job, Storekeeper Tao. I hope that you continue the good job." Bai Xifeng said.

"Yes, Young Lady." Storekeeper Tao said.

"I come here just to inform you that the store has returned to the true owner. As for further notice, I will come back later." Bai Xifeng said.

"Yes, Young Lady." Storekeeper Tao bowed respectfully.

Bai Xifeng looked at Liu Longwei who looked bored.

"Longwei, we are done here. Let’s go." Bai Xifeng called Liu Longwei.

Liu Longwei stood up and hurried to Bai Xifeng’s side. They rode the carriage back. This time, they went to another store that was also under her mother’s dowry.

The second store was an armament shop. Bai Xifeng arrived at the store and entered them. The storekeeper looked at the customers who just entered the store. It seemed he was judging the customer’s appearance.

After looking at Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei’s appearance, the storekeeper smiled and stood up welcoming them.

"Welcome to Star Armament Shop, Young Lady, Young Master." The storekeeper greeted them. "What are you looking for?"

"Hmm... I want to see what kind of sword that you sell here?" Bai Xifeng stated.

"Of course, we have a lot of swords. We definitely find something that suits Young Lady’s taste." The storekeeper smiled.

The storekeeper started to show the sword to Bai Xifeng. He also stated the price of each sword that he showed. He was observing Bai Xifeng’s expression when he mentioned the price. However, the girl seemed to be expressionless. He could not read this young lady.

"Those are the list of the swords that we currently have right now." The storekeeper stated.

"The quality of the swords here is the worst and they are very expensive." Bai Xifeng commented.

The storekeeper frowned.

"Young Lady, you can not say something like that. We sold goods that match their price." The storekeeper replied.

"Look at this armament. Just a low-rank second-grade armament. Nothing special about that but you sold it for 10,000 yuan. Are you kidding me?" Bai Xifeng looked disgusted at the sword.

The storekeeper finally found out this young lady was not coming here to buy something but to disturb his business.

"Young Lady, please leave our store if you do not want to buy anything. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what? What can you do to me, huh?" Bai Xifeng cut him off.

"I will throw you out of the store." The storekeeper said to Bai Xifeng. He called some men.

"You can not throw me out of my store." Bai Xifeng stated.

The storekeeper was stunned for a moment but after that, he started to laugh.

"Young Lady, what are you talking about?" The storekeeper felt this young lady was funny this time.

"Do you know who is the owner of this store?" Bai Xifeng asked the storekeeper.

"Of course, I know it. It is the Bai Family." The storekeeper said.

"Well, it is indeed in the hands of that Bai Family. But you should know about the true owner." Bai Xifeng said.

"Huh? What do you mean about that?" The storekeeper was confused.
