Beauty and The Bodyguard - Chapter 7217
7217 Chapter 7215-
“Nonsense! Searching for suspects, how could it be related to brother Sima? Are you all useless?”
Lu Butong was enraged and yelled at the city guards before turning to Lin Yi with a smile.”Brother Sima, this is most likely a misunderstanding. Don’t take it to heart!”
Lin Yi laughed coldly to himself as he wanted to see how Lu Butong was going to continue his act.”Since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s fine to explain it clearly. For the sake of young city Lord Lu, this young master will not argue with them. Let them all disperse!”
!!
“Hold on!”
Nangong Yimeng raised her hand and smiled.”Brother Sima, this matter has already come to this. If we stop now, I’m afraid it won’t be good for brother Sima’s reputation!” Furthermore, our Nangong nobles were the ones who were robbed this time. It’s only right for me to step out and verify the rumors. Don’t you agree, brother Sima?”
“Brother Nangong, if you have something to say, please speak your mind. There’s no need to beat around the bush!”
Lin Yi’s lips curled up in a mocking smile.”Brother Nangong, do you think that we won’t stop until we search the place today?”
“You can’t say that. I’m just being responsible for brother Sima. If we can’t prove that the rumors are wrong, wouldn’t everyone in Luling city think that brother Sima is the mastermind behind the theft of our Nangong clan?”
Nangong Yimeng smiled and clapped her hands with confidence.””So, brother Sima, you don’t have to insist anymore. It’s just a search. Those who are innocent will be innocent, and those who are tainted will be tainted. Young city Lord Lu, don’t you think so?”
“What Nangong said does make some sense. Although I feel that doing this would offend brother Sima, it seems necessary to prove brother Sima’s innocence!”
Lu Butong nodded. He and Nangong Yimeng were supposed to sing and sing at the same time, so they spoke together so that Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to reject them!
If it wasn’t for the presence of Wu yucao, an expert close to the perfected golden core realm, they wouldn’t have needed to say so much nonsense and would have directly used force. After all, they had full confidence in finding evidence!
Speaking of which, Wu yucao’s strength was indeed unexpected. They knew that Wu yucao hadn’t even reached the perfected Foundation establishment realm. They didn’t expect her to cross a large realm after just one trip. It was simply unbelievable!
“Aiyo, why is it so lively here today! What show are you putting on?”
Before Lin Yi could say anything, Jin Yuanbao’s voice came from outside the door. Lin Yi didn’t know why the kid was here, and even suspected that Jin Yuanbao was involved in this.
However, judging from the relationship between Jin Yuan Bao, Lu Butong, and Nangong Yimeng, the possibility of them being involved was relatively small. It was more likely that they met by chance.
“Brother Sima, what’s going on? Who are you trying to scare with such a big formation?”
Jin Yuanbao pushed the city guards aside with his two guards and swaggered in, standing beside Lin Yi.”Brother, you’re not a pushover in Luling city. Whoever wants to bully us with numbers, you can try!”
At the end of his sentence, Jin Yuan Bao sneered and kept glancing at Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng.
Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng felt a headache coming on, why was this fatty everywhere? He was just about to force Lin Yi to agree when he showed up!
In terms of strength, the gold yuan bank was only on par with the Nangong nobles and the city Lord’s mansion. However, the gold yuan bank was rich!
The combined wealth of the two of them was not as strong as the gold yuan bank, so Jin Yuan Bao had the confidence!
There were many unaffiliated martial artists in Luling city. As long as one was willing to spend money and post a mission at the martial arts Association, they could gather a large number of martial artists in minutes. Thus, in terms of numbers, the gold yuan bank was not afraid of anyone!
He was rich! There was someone!
“Jin Yuan Bao, what are you doing here? We are investigating the Nangong family’s theft case today. Could it be that you have something to do with this?”
Nangong Yimeng frowned and looked at Jin Yuan Bao impatiently.””Do you think that the gold yuan bank and the Nangong nobles are at peace, so you want to start a war?”
If the Nangong family’s treasure vault theft case was really related to the gold yuan bank, then the two families would be in a situation where they would fight to the death!
At that time, the entire Luling city would be involved, and the Allies of both sides would not sit by and watch. If they fought, it would be hard to say what Luling city would become.
Now that all parties had exercised restraint, the balance could be maintained, and the treasure vault theft case would definitely be the fuse that would break the balance.
Even though the Nangong nobles knew that this was a farce directed by themselves, they had no choice but to do it for the sake of their reputation if the gold yuan bank was involved!
Jin Yuan Bao was not an idiot, he naturally understood the severity of this matter. He immediately yawned and said,”I just can’t stand your face, Nangong Yimeng. What does it have to do with your family’s treasure vault? Besides, how could you call it a treasure vault with that little junk in your house? I’m afraid that your family has never seen what a real treasure house is like, right?”
The corner of Nangong Yimeng’s mouth twitched, and she felt extremely sullen. However, she had no way to refute. If the Nangong family was a millionaire, then the gold yuan bank was a billionaire. They were simply not on the same level.
Therefore, Nangong Yimeng could only pinch her nose and accept Jin Yuanbao’s words. However, her Target today was Lin Yi, so she couldn’t let this go!
“Jin Yuan Bao, I don’t have time to waste with you today. Brother Sima has been reported. There is a treasure of our Nangong clan here, so no matter what, we have to search him to prove his innocence. If you don’t want to get involved, you’d better move aside!”
Nangong Yimeng didn’t want to continue talking nonsense, so she immediately tore off her disguise.””Brother Sima, while this young master is talking, you better cooperate obediently. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to walk out of Luling city! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a jiedan stage expert, this young master is not without experts!”
With the Nangong family’s background, it wasn’t impossible for them to have one or two martial artists at the peak of the Golden core realm or even the nascent soul realm as their servants. That was why Nangong Yimeng had the confidence to fight Lin Yi head-on.
“Nangong Yimeng, don’t be too arrogant. Do you really think that I’m afraid of you? Hey! With my short temper, I don’t believe that I’ll be able to do it today!”
Jin Yuanbao wasn’t scared at all. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight Lin Yi himself when Lin Yi stopped him!
“Brother Jin, thank you for speaking up for me, but there’s no need to waste your breath on this kind of people. If they want to search, then so be it. I don’t care!”
Lin Yi shrugged, a meaningful smile on his lips.”But let’s be blunt. Young city Lord Lu, brother Nangong, if the search is fruitless, won’t you give me an explanation?”
