Li Xin had clearly not expected things to develop this way.
After all, her father was Haoyue City's Military Commander, and as a result, Haoyue City's military affairs were governed quite strictly.
At the very least, having grown up in Haoyue City, Li Xin had never encountered anything like this before.
They were merely lowly inspectors, yet they dared to use their tiny bit of authority to threaten and extort merchants. They were simply outrageously bold!
"These people have gone too far!"
It was not just Li Xin. Lin Jialu and Wang Yuanyuan could not help but frown as well.
"A Tian." Cai'er spoke softly, her tone full of inquiry.
Ye Tian shook his head. "Let's wait and see for now. Catching a thief requires the stolen goods."
"Please calm your anger, sir. If this gets out of hand, it won't do you any good either. I have a way to prove the Moonlight Merchant Guild's innocence."
As he spoke, the Moonlight Merchant Guild's steward stepped forward and pulled a pouch from his sleeve with his right hand.
Judging from the crisp clinking sounds, it was undoubtedly filled with gold coins.
"This is the evidence. Please accept it and investigate carefully, sir!"
The Moonlight Merchant Guild's steward directly handed over the money pouch.
The officer's expression changed instantly. The anger on his face vanished completely as he rudely accepted the pouch and carefully weighed it. A smug smile immediately appeared on his face.
"You're a sensible kid. Withdraw!"
With his objective achieved, the officer waved his hand, intending to leave with his men.
"Sister Yuan Yuan, I'll leave it to you."
After remaining silent for so long, Ye Tian finally spoke again.
"I've been waiting for you to say that!" A fierce glint immediately flashed through Wang Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes.
