Chapter 23: I Won't Implicate Sir

Chapter 23 I Won’t Implicate Sir

Even though Hao Jiyong was simple and kind, he was not stupid. He knew very well that once the food and medicinal herbs in the warehouse were moved out without being discovered, Liu Yuanqing and the others would definitely take the opportunity to shirk their responsibility.

Originally, the new manor master, Song Ankang, had just arrived and had not been the manor master for long. The matters in the manor were also controlled by Butler Wang, Liu Yuanqing, and the others.

Now that there was a problem with the warehouse, the first person to be held accountable was Liu Yuanqing, followed by Butler Wang, and finally the new villa master, Song Ankang.

As the third person in charge, Song Ankang had to bear very little punishment.

However, in order to get Hao Jiyong off the hook, Song Ankang, who had nothing to do with this matter, had already interfered and become the second person in charge. Now that he was going to empty the warehouse, it would definitely damage the herbs in the warehouse.

At that time, as long as Liu Yuanqing reported the matter to the higher-ups of the family, coupled with the previous incident, Song Ankang would definitely replace Liu Yuanqing as the first person responsible for the warehouse theft. If the murderer could not be found, the punishment would be the heaviest.

After all, in the Song family, many of the upper echelons of the family did not like Song Ankang

Song Ankang was relieved to see that Hao Jiyong was still thinking for him under such circumstances, not caring about his own life at all.

Glancing at the happy Yuanqing, Song Ankang smiled and said, “If you’re worried that I’ll be punished, then use your best ability to reduce the damage to the herbs as much as possible.”

“Deal with this immediately. Do you think I would take this risk if I wasn’t confident?”

“This… Yes, Manor Master. I will definitely do my best.” Hao Jiyong said solemnly, “I will not let you down.”

After saying that, Hao Jiyong immediately instructed the workers in the storeroom who were familiar with him to organize people to start moving the food and medicinal herbs in the storeroom.

Hao Jiyong personally handled the more expensive medicinal herbs, not letting anyone else touch them, afraid that they would be damaged.

While Hao Jiyong organized people to transport food and herbs, Song Ankang was nearby, carefully observing every inch of the warehouse.

There was no other reason for his certainty. Song Ankang had indeed discovered something unusual.

This abnormality was the trace of aura lingering on the Existence Grass. According to the host body’s memories, this aura should belong to some demon beast.

Since there were demon beasts invading, there would definitely be traces left behind. However, there were no traces now, so there was only one truth. The traces were suppressed by food and herbs. They had to move the food and herbs to see them.

The demon beast that had invaded the warehouse was clearly very careful. It actually did not leave any traces elsewhere, especially around the missing herbs. Other than that abnormal aura, there was nothing else left.

It was simply unbelievable!

Under normal circumstances, a ninth-grade demon like this would not be too intelligent. When it did things, it would always leave behind many traces. This way, humans could easily know who did these things through these traces.

However, this demon was very powerful. It seemed to be deliberately hiding its traces. Usually, demons with such intelligence were not too weak.

Thinking of this, Song Ankang thought of the strange feeling he had when he first entered the storeroom. Even though the strange feeling was no longer there, the sense of danger still made him feel lingering fear.

It seemed that if they were not careful, they might be swallowed by the demons hiding in the dark.

NO

There were also traces of aura left on the Existence Grass. They definitely belonged to demons. Thinking of the terrifying scene when the earthworm swallowed people, Song Ankang’s expression became solemn.

Fortunately, his spiritual will far exceeded that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sense this abnormality and the aura of demon beasts. If he were to search the warehouse in a daze and was discovered by the hidden demon, he would probably be in danger.

The two times he sensed that something was wrong should be when the demon was in the storeroom. When the feeling of something wrong disappeared, the demon should have already left.

Song Ankang focused on the empty space where the food and herbs were. He wanted to find clues in these places. Jiang Yunhe also saw something. He frowned slightly and observed these places with Song Ankang.

Some of the farmers who had finished their work in the farm received the news and came to watch and help. Low discussions sounded around.

“Are there really demons in the storeroom? But the storeroom is filled with extremely hard Green Ridge Stone inside and out. How can there be demons?”

“If a demon really entered the storeroom, it would definitely leave traces. Now that even Instructor Jiang can’t find any traces, how can it be done by a demon? Manor Master is wrong again.”

“I’ve long said that you’re an outsider. Even though your character is top-notch and you’re the number one filial son in the capital, you’ve never planted food or medicinal herbs at all. How can you know such things? You’re just messing around.”

“After this incident, Manor Master Song has completely gotten himself involved. Once the murderer can’t be found, the higher-ups of the family will definitely punish him. Hopefully, we can find another capable manor master.”

No one was optimistic about Song Ankang’s actions. Some people even felt that he was risking everything to save his face and dignity.

Liu Yuanqing smiled and put his hands behind his back as he watched Hao Jiyong and the others move the food and medicinal herbs. He secretly mocked Song Ankang for courting death. It was something that had nothing to do with him, but he insisted on standing up for him. Now, everything was fine.

However, this was a great thing for him. If not for Song Ankang standing up for Hao Jiyong, he would still be the first person responsible for the warehouse theft. Hao Jiyong and Song Ankang were both good people. As the food and medicinal herbs were carried out bit by bit, more and more empty spaces appeared in the warehouse. Many hidden places were exposed, but there were no signs of demon invasion.

There were no caves, no cracks, no traces of demons… As a result, more and more people began to doubt Song’s judgment and looked at him strangely.

Hao Jiyong’s face slowly turned pale, but he still took the opportunity to come to Song Ankang’s side and said solemnly, “Master, don’t worry. I won’t let this matter implicate

you.”

Seeing the determination on Hao Jiyong’s face, Song Ankang vaguely realized something. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find out.”

With that, Song Ankang found a hard wooden stick nearby and began to tap on the floor of the storeroom, especially the empty space that had just been vacated.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
