I said, "Come in."
Mou Xiaoning pushed the door open and walked in, holding a stack of silver notes, which he placed on the table.
I was taken aback. "What is this?"
Mou Xiaoning replied, "Sir, the silver you asked me to deposit yesterday has been taken care of. Here are the silver notes issued by Jiangnan Bank. Please keep them safe."
I nodded. "Alright, I understand."
Mou Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, if you don't have anything else, I'll take my leave now."
I thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ning, help me with something."
Mou Xiaoning quickly responded, "Please go ahead, sir!"
I said, "I've been in Nanjiang for over half a year now. Living in the dormitory isn't convenient. Can you help me find an apartment? It doesn't need to be too big, but it must be close to where I work."
Mou Xiaoning smiled and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"
I nodded. "Good, then you can go now."
Mou Xiaoning saluted and turned to leave.
I looked at the silver notes on the table and thought that five hundred taels was quite a lot; it could support an ordinary family for several years. After all, with the ongoing wars, silver is the most practical thing.
He tidied up and left the Administrative Hall.
I took a rickshaw to Lin Feng's residence.
When he arrived, he saw Lin Feng sitting in the Administrative Hall drinking tea.
He walked in and smiled, "Lord Lin, I'm here."
Lin Feng glanced at him and smiled while pointing to the chair across from him, "Have a seat."
He sat down and took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, placing it on the table.
Lin Feng was taken aback, "What is this…?"
He replied, "This is from Tang Chenshung. It's a total of eight hundred thousand taels of silver. I took five hundred thousand taels, and the remaining three hundred thousand taels are all here."
Lin Feng chuckled, "You did well."
He said, "This mission went relatively smoothly, but…"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, "But what?"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "In order to rescue Tang Jicheng, I impersonated a member of the Red Lotus Sect…"
Lin Feng laughed heartily, "I thought it was something serious; turns out it's just this! Dan Shi has already told me."
He said, "I know this is a capital offense, so I ask for your forgiveness."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about it. In that situation, any choice you made would have been the right one. We are in this line of work after all."
He nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Xie."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Yifan, you truly are someone I trained myself. You handle things with discretion, are not greedy, and know how to maintain good relationships. I really appreciate that."
I laughed and said, "This is what I should do."
Lin Feng replied, "However, you can't impersonate a rebel too often!"
I nodded, "I understand."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Alright, there's nothing else. You can head back now."
I nodded again, stood up, and turned to leave.
After leaving Lin Feng's Administrative Hall, a surge of anger welled up inside me.
That guy Li Dangshi is truly despicable! How dare he report my trip to Golden Lake to Lin Feng!
Fortunately, I was cautious in my actions and didn't reveal any flaws; otherwise, I would definitely have fallen into Li Dangshi's trap!
"Damn it, that bastard!" I gritted my teeth. "I must find a way to get rid of him!"
I silently resolved to ensure that Li Dangshi would never have a chance to turn things around!
Back in my own Administrative Hall, sitting by the desk, I fell into deep thought.
