In fact, the Dragon Emperor was also afraid. Even if Du Feng came back, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. After all, all the guards and partners blamed him for the problem. If Du Feng listened to them, then he would be in trouble.
He didn't expect Du Feng to know who the problem was as soon as he heard it, and he also knew that there must be their partners outside. Since this was the case, it was much easier to handle. He told him all the information he had.
"Well, I'll leave now. Here's what you do next …"
Du Feng told the Dragon Emperor, and then quickly left with the Lookout. Because if he was at home, it would be inconvenient for the two partners to make a move, and it wouldn't be easy to get hold of him. He wasn't there before, and the other party eliminated all the evidence. The accounts were also watertight, and it looked like a normal loss.
Even if Du Feng got angry, he could only fire them. But they were already official residents of the Sacred City. So what if they were fired? So he wasn't in a hurry to get angry, and he wasn't in a hurry to fire them.
Originally, Du Feng's sudden return had scared the two partners. But they didn't expect him to leave in a hurry again, and in a hurry.
"Patriarch Du just came back. He wouldn't find anything wrong, right?"
One of the partners was a little afraid, afraid that Du Feng would see something wrong.
"What Patriarch Du? We are official residents now, and we don't have a patriarch. You mean that guy with the surname Du?"
"He's like a stray dog all day. Who knows what he's busy with. After a while, there won't be any more benefits, and we'll just leave. Even if he comes back, what can he do to us? "
The other partner didn't take Du Feng seriously at all. In fact, they had long felt that Du Feng couldn't make it, mainly because Xiao Hei's rapid advancement made them a little afraid. So they wanted to quickly go to the Dongfang family before Xiao Hei woke up. By stationing the Lookout there, they wouldn't be afraid of Xiao Hei looking for trouble.
"That's true. With his current state, he might just die out there one day."
The two partners discussed with each other and felt that there was nothing to be afraid of with Du Feng. Cultivation was progressing slower and slower, and he was absent all day. As long as they left before Xiao Hei woke up, nothing would happen. The reason why they didn't want to leave now was that they could still take advantage of the shop and embezzle some money.
Then did Du Feng really leave? Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid. He only temporarily moved to Hai City and hid in Zhuang Piusi's house. The reason why he did not set up his own shrine was so that he would not be recognized by others.
When he arrived at Hai City, he told the whole story to Chief Zhuang Qimei. Then, he sent an order to the Dragon Emperor through the Sound Transmitting Talisman. He told him to shamelessly go back to work in the shop and not tell Chen Tianlei and Arré the reason.
It wasn't that Du Feng didn't trust Chen Tianlei and Arré's character. There was absolutely no problem with their character. It was that these two Half-Beastmen were really stupid. If they knew, it was very likely that the plan would fail.
So, the Dragon Emperor didn't tell anyone and went back to work in the shop. When he came back, he was naturally ridiculed by a group of people.
"Hey, why are you back again? Didn't you resign?"
"Yeah, is it because you can't find a job outside and can't eat?"
"You're just an old man. Do you think you're so capable?"
These unpleasant words were not said by the two partners, but by the guards they had bribed. These guards hadn't received official status in the Sacred City yet, so they had to continue to live here and couldn't leave at will. They didn't dare to provoke Arré and Chen Tianlei, but they dared to bully the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor's face turned red from their humiliation. He wanted to turn around and leave. But when he thought of the task given by Du Feng, he could only endure it.
"Patriarch Du came back yesterday and asked me to continue to work here. There is still a batch of goods that I need to deal with."
He followed Du Feng's instructions and said that there was still a batch of goods that he needed to deal with and passed on the message. Since there was still goods to deal with, there was definitely money to be made. Sure enough, after hearing this, the guards became much more obedient.
Then they remembered that the Dragon Emperor's backer was Patriarch Du. Although he spent most of his time wandering outside, he would come back once in a while. Fortunately, he didn't stay for long this time. If he stayed longer, he might miss something.
In addition, they heard that Patriarch Du had a good relationship with the Dragon Emperor. If he knew that the Dragon Emperor was being bullied, he might seek justice for the Dragon Emperor. Thinking of these factors, the guards became more obedient. However, someone still leaked the news to the two partners.
"What? That idiot surnamed Du actually brought back another batch of goods. He's basically giving us money."
"Do you think he knew something and did it on purpose?"
One of the two partners was very bold, but the other was more cautious. He was afraid that if something went wrong, he would be punished by Du Feng.
"What are you afraid of? He left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to check the accounts. He won't suspect us."
"If something really goes wrong, we'll push the blame to those two stupid Half-Beastmen. We'll say that they didn't get along with the Dragon Emperor, so they closed the shop. "
Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food. This saying was really true. He thought about his two partners. They were just guards hired by Du Feng in the past, and they had been beaten up by him. Now that they were promoted to partners and had official status in the Sacred City, they should be very grateful.
But they didn't expect that they would do such a crazy thing just to get some benefits. They had already poached a lot of money from several of Du Feng's shops. They had also partnered with the Chun Yu family and the Dongfang family to squeeze the business here.
Du Feng already knew the situation here, so he made the corresponding adjustments. Of course, all of this was done quietly.
Soon, the Dragon Emperor applied for help from the manager of Sea City on the grounds of poor management of the shop. Sure enough, the manager was very generous. He transferred a lot of goods over and even gave them some working capital.
Everyone knew that Du Feng had businesses in the Sacred City, Sea City, Gold City, Silver City, and many other cities. So it was not strange that he used the goods and capital from the outside shops to support the business of the shop in the Sacred City.
At first, the two partners were a little vigilant. But they soon discovered that the Dragon Emperor was also secretly greedy for money. That's right. This time, the Dragon Emperor was not as stupid as before. After getting the support of Sea City, he secretly sold goods to fill his own pockets. It seemed that he had thought things through.
