Chapter 52: The Generous Woman

  Yu Fu made such a request, naturally it wasn't because he was afraid of the reputation that there were thieves in the mansion. However, Hua Lang still nodded slightly: "Of course, keeping client confidentiality is our basic training as detectives."

  Jian Hualang agreed, and Yu Fu finally felt at ease.

  Just as Hua Lang and the others were about to leave, a woman suddenly rushed in from outside. The woman was quite attractive, only slightly plump, and her figure was almost comparable to that of Hua Lang's. After rushing in, she shouted at Yu Fu: "Dad, why have you invited so many people to our home?"

  Hualang saw that the woman was Yu Fu's daughter and hastily bowed his hands, saying: "Miss Yu, your father has invited us to discuss some matters."

  Yu Fu saw this and hastily chimed in: "That's right, they're my friends, they came here to discuss business."

  The woman looked at Huasheng coldly and smiled, saying: "My father has a scholar friend like you, isn't it that you want to cheat my father's money?"

  Yu Fu listened and said, "Ting Ting, you must not be rude. How can you speak like this in front of our guest?" After scolding his daughter, Yu Fu hurriedly apologized to Hua Lang, saying, "Hua Gongzi, please calm down. My daughter Ting Ting has always been spoiled, and I'm afraid she's made a fool of herself in front of you."

  Hualang smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter, Old Boss is not stupid enough to be cheated out of his money."

  Hualang's words were clearly a veiled criticism of Yuting's rudeness and Yufu's sinister intentions. Yufu understood the implication, and naturally didn't want to argue back, lest he be further discredited. However, although Yufu chose not to respond, Yuting did not let it go. Seeing Hualang speak ill of her father, she flung out her hand and pushed Hualang back two steps, saying: "Who are you calling stupid? My dad is not stupid at all! People like you just swindle my family out of our money."

  From the woman's behavior and actions, it can be seen that she is very feisty, this is feistiness, not being spoiled. The flower boy couldn't help but pat his own clothes, as if admitting he was out of luck.

  The way Hualang patted his shirt seemed too casual, making Yuting think that Hualang thought she was dirty and was patting his clothes because of her, so when Hualang wasn't prepared to get entangled with her, she suddenly rushed up to fight him.

  She rushed up, cursing non-stop: "What do you mean, are you saying I'm dirty? Stop right there, I..." In the midst of her tirade, Yu Tingting suddenly charged forward, and Hua Lang retreated repeatedly, afraid of being caught by this fierce woman. At that moment, Wen Meng couldn't bear to watch anymore, and as Yu Tingting rushed up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu's wrist, exerting force on her hand, making Yu cry out in pain.

  Seeing his own daughter being bullied, Yu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to mediate, saying: "The young girl doesn't understand things, so Master Hua please spare her this time."

  Wen Meng suddenly pushed Wen Meng away and looked at Yu Fu: "Take care of this ill-mannered daughter."

  Yu Tingting was pushed away, still wanting to scold, but thinking of the pain earlier, she could only pout in the end. However, even though she pouted, Yu Fu didn't dare to do anything to Hua Lang because today, he had already experienced Hua Lang's ferocity.

  He originally just wanted Flower Lang and others to help him catch the thief, then he would get the Jade Ruyi back from the thief himself. However, as soon as Flower Lang arrived, he saw that what was stolen wasn't two thousand taels of silver, and also saw that it was an inside job. After Yu Fu found out it was an inside job, he didn't want Flower Lang to intervene in this matter anymore. But he hadn't expected that Flower Lang would use words to probe him; if he didn't let Flower Lang continue investigating the case, then Flower Lang would definitely become suspicious of the Jade Ruyi, and things would become somewhat difficult to handle.

  Yu Fu saw that Hua Lang was suspicious, so he could only use words to stall him for the time being, and then find an opportunity to make this matter disappear, in order to eliminate Hua Lang's idea of continuing to investigate the case.

  Yu Tingting saw that Sai Jiao was useless, and finally fell to the ground crying loudly. At this time, Hua Lang also stopped paying attention to Yu Fu and left with his men.

  After leaving Yu Fu, Hua Wan'er said with some indignation: "That Yu Tingting is really reckless and ill-mannered."

  "Wen Meng also hastily agreed: 'That's right, that's right. A woman like her will probably never get married in her lifetime.'"

  Two women said that Yu Tingting was wrong, Yin Wuchuang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He also disliked Yu Tingting, but a man would always be somewhat reluctant to speak ill of a woman.

  Everyone was criticizing Yu Tingting, but Hua Lang didn't say a word. After a long time, he suddenly said: "The theft of Yu Fu's jade Ruyi is very strange, there must be an unexpected inside story that we can't think of, I need to understand more about this Yu Fu."

  Everyone sees that Flower Lad is still thinking about this case, and they're not very happy. Someone like Yu Fu even helped him find the jade Ruyi and gave him ten taels of silver; we won't take on this case anymore.

  But no one said this out loud, because they thought that since Hualang felt there was a problem with the case, then there must be a problem.

  Hua Lang looked at Wen Meng and smiled: "Miss Wen has a wide range of connections in Tianchang County, why don't you help me investigate some information about Yu Fu's character and his background?"

  As for Hua Lang's request, Wen Meng always had to agree, but she said with some displeasure: "I can help you investigate him, but if Yu Fu is going to put on airs again, we won't take his business. I hate people like that the most."

  Hualang nodded hastily after hearing Wen Meng's words: "Definitely, definitely. If Yu Fu doesn't satisfy Miss Wen even a little bit more, we won't take his case."

  Wen Meng was very satisfied with Hua Lang's words, but after saying this, Hua Lang suddenly said with some emotion: "I'm afraid that in this case, it will be difficult for us to intervene again."

  Everyone was puzzled as to why Hualang suddenly said this, and they all thought that the case had too many suspicious points and it would be difficult to handle. So they wanted to advise Hualang to relax a bit. When Hualang learned of everyone's thoughts, he smiled and said: "If Yu Fu is willing to cooperate, it will be easy to investigate this case. But judging from Yu Fu's attitude towards answering questions today, he seems unwilling to let us intervene."

  "If you don't interfere, then don't interfere, who cares about his business." Wen Meng said with a tone of three parts satisfaction and seven parts disdain.

  As for Yu Fu's affairs, Hua Lang didn't say anything else, just asked Wen Meng to help investigate Yu Fu's situation.

  After Wen Meng agreed to Hua Lang's request, he went straight to the Wen Mansion. To investigate someone, one would naturally go to the Wen Mansion to contact friends from the Jianghu. With these friends, investigating someone's background was simply too easy.

  It wasn't a difficult task, so shortly after noon, Wen Meng hurriedly brought the news to Huā Láng Detective Agency. She wanted to tell Huā Láng all about what she had found out.
