You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

When he was about to leave, Ying Wuji met Xun Zhiyin, the diplomatic minister sent by his motherland, who always looked busy but he didn't know what he was busy with.

Ying Wuji ignored him and held Bai Zhi's hand to prepare to leave.

But Xun Zhiyin greeted him with a smile, "Young master, have these days been smooth for you?"

Ying Wuji glanced at him, "What does it matter to you whether it's smooth or not?"

Xun Zhiyin wasn't angry, he just smiled and said, "Nowadays, the fate of Great Qian's paper industry is tied to the young master. The young master's affairs are our affairs, and I should care. Young master! I heard that you have opened a new bookstore and solved the problem of the backlog of paper goods in the paper industry. This is really a clever idea!"

The embassy's hands couldn't reach too far, but it was no problem to send a few people to follow Ying Wuji. He naturally knew what Ying Wuji had been doing these days, and it was quite surprising.

Opening a bookstore to solve the problem of the backlog of paper goods.

Sell the paper, transfer the loss to the bookstore.

Hua Chao, that stupid woman, really lost out!

Xun Zhiyin had to look at Ying Wuji with new eyes. Before, he only felt that this young master was useless except for his handsome appearance, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless when it came to tricking women.

Give 49% of the paper industry to Hua Chao and completely hang her. He dared to ask for 7,000 taels, and that stupid woman Hua Chao actually gave it to him.

As for the bookstore, he didn't know where they found so many copyists. They had to sell 3,000 books at a loss just to establish a reputation. The loss must have been borne by Hua Chao. This bookstore might survive in the future, but Hua Chao would definitely lose out.

This young master's conscience was already completely rotten.

Ying Wuji glanced at him, "Oh? Mr. Xun wants to give me the business seal as a reward for my achievements?"

Xun Zhiyin smiled, "That's naturally impossible!"

Ying Wuji cut him off, "If it's impossible, just say so. With you, a mentally handicapped person, in charge of the Great Qian embassy, we're really unlucky!"

Xun Zhiyin: "..."

His facial muscles twitched. He didn't expect that a prince like Ying Wuji would use such foul language to insult others.

But the more Ying Wuji cursed, the calmer he felt.

Cursing!

It meant that Ying Wuji had grievances in his heart. He should have realized by now that no matter how hard he tried, he would only end up making himself a wedding dress. And after all his hard work, he only managed to trick some unscrupulous money from Hua Chao's hands.

Xun Zhiyin became more and more excited, "Young master! If you haven't cursed enough, you can curse a few more times!"Ying Wuji: "......"

His face changed slightly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

What kind of twisted person exists in this world!

He looked at Xun Zhiyin with eyes full of disbelief, and pulled Bai Zhi's hand as he left.

Xun Zhiyin shouted from behind, "Young master! Remember to urge the paper shop to pay their debts!"

After Ying Wuji left, Xun hummed a tune and returned to his own room.

He didn't know if the bookstore belonged to Hua Chao alone or if it belonged to both Hua Chao and Ying Wuji, as he could only go to the government office in Jiangcheng at the end of the month to check on the country's industries. But judging from Ying Wuji's appearance, he must have eaten Hua Chao alive.

If Ying Wuji was confident in making money, then he would definitely have a share in the bookstore, and he would even be in charge of it. If Ying Wuji wasn't confident, then the bookstore would belong to Hua Chao alone, sacrificing her to save the Daqian Paper Company.

He had won this round!

In the room, Tie Niu asked, "How is it?"

Xun Zhiyin smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ying Wuji to be so cunning, but don't worry, with me here, he won't be able to cause any trouble!"

...

When the two arrived at the bookstore, it was already close to noon, but the bookstore wasn't as lively as they had imagined.

Ying Wuji's heart sank. He had thought all night about what methods his opponents might use against him and believed that he would be safe for a short period of time. But he never expected that the number of customers today would be so few, and those who remained all sighed and left with their hands behind their backs.

What was going on?

According to his expectations, after the news spread, today should be much livelier than yesterday, but the reality was so disappointing!

Who was it? What tricks did they use to cause such a heavy blow to his bookstore?

What a terrible opponent!

He grabbed Bai Zhi's hand and rushed into the store, but his heart sank even further.

The bookshelf was empty, and it looked incredibly desolate.

Wu Dan was in the store today, and he should have returned from studying at the high-class brothel. At the moment, he was sitting in the store, staring blankly at the empty bookshelf, his face red and his neck thick, as if he had just gone through something.

When he saw Ying Wuji arrive, he quickly greeted him, "Brother Wuji, you're here!"

Ying Wuji's face turned pale with anger. "Who did this?"Wu Dan was a little confused: "I don't know either! A group of people broke in as soon as we opened the door today and started smashing everything! Then it became like this. If it weren't for the fact that the backyard was always printing, you probably wouldn't even be able to see a book! But I saw someone who looked familiar, like they were from another bookstore."

"This is outrageous!"

"Exactly!"

"What about the law?"

"There is none!"

Ying Wuji's voice was trembling: "Is it necessary to use such means to deal with colleagues?"

Wu Dan pounded his thigh: "I've never seen anything like this before!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

His head was a little dizzy.

Bai Zhi quickly helped him to a chair, her eyes red with anxiety as she desperately pinched his philtrum.

"Young master! Don't die!"

After a while, Ying Wuji finally recovered and stared blankly at the bookshelf.

He never expected that the Great Li was far darker than he imagined. They were openly robbed in broad daylight?

He... was still too naive. Was his printing business going to end like this?

To read the uncut version, go to ].

For a moment, Ying Wuji's mind was in turmoil. He was already thinking about how to burn down the palace to completely destroy the relationship between the Great Li and Qian Li. If they wouldn't let him live in peace, then no one would.

"Huh? Wuji, what's wrong? Wuji, are you okay?"

Hua Chao was originally in the accounting room. When she heard Ying Wuji's voice in the store, she came out to take a look. She didn't expect Ying Wuji to be like a lost soul. She was suddenly frightened and ran over with a pale face.

She anxiously asked, "What's wrong with Young Master Dan?"

Wu Dan scratched his head: "I don't know either! He became like this when he heard that our books were sold out. Maybe he's just happy?"

Ying Wuji's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Sold out? Wasn't it robbed?"

"Wuji-ge! This is the Capital of the Great Li, who would dare to rob us?"

"When I said I've never seen anything like this done to colleagues, why did you agree?"

"I really haven't seen anything like this done to colleagues!"
