Chapter 502: The Older You Get, the Less Courageous You Become

Xue Ruyi has only one son, Xue Chen, who is only in his twenties. He has difficulty walking and has been recuperating in a manor outside Jiangxia City for many years.

In addition, there is information about the Red Group, the White Group, the Black Group, and several group leaders.

Jiang Meng saw Xiao Yu finish reading the information and bowed his head and said, "I am incompetent. Although I know that the headquarters of Ruyi Tower is in Jiangxia, I have only locked three places for so many years and I don't know which one is the real headquarters."

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "Master Jiang, don't blame yourself. Ruyi Tower is secretive and it is not easy to get information."

"I heard that in order to get information about Ruyi Tower over the years, several spies have been lost. Have their families been well compensated?"

Jiang Meng nodded, "Five spies were sacrificed, and each family gave 100 taels of compensation silver."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Master Jiang, you have worked hard. Jiangxia is a very important place. Master Jiang has always done a good job."

Gu Fei saw that Jiang Meng was a little excited and his eyes were a little red.

She couldn't understand where these people's loyalty came from, but it was obvious that Xiao Yu was very good at controlling his subordinates.

Xiao Yu tapped the armrest lightly, "In this case, the next owner of Ruyi Tower is likely to be Xue Ruyi's adopted son Xue Zhou!"

He raised his eyebrows, "Will Xue Chen be willing? Is Xue Ruyi really willing to pass Ruyi Tower to Xue Zhou instead of his own son?"

Jiang Meng shook his head, "That's unknown."

"But Xue Chen lives in the manor all year round, as if he doesn't care about worldly affairs."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, "Well, I know."

At this moment, in the main hall of Ruyi Tower, Xue Zhou was also looking at the latest intelligence.

The more he looked, the colder his face became. He slapped the stack of papers in his hand on his subordinate's face, "Good-for-nothings, all good-for-nothings."

"Four waves of assassins have been sent. Not only were all the assassins killed in the first two times, but Xiao Yu's trace was also lost."

"We finally waited for Xiao Yu in Qingyun Town, but we lost a group of people and lost him!"

His eyes were fierce, "They dare to shirk responsibility and say something. Then the two suddenly disappeared in front of us!"

"How dare you report such words? Do you think I'm a fool!"

As he was talking, a thin old man with white hair and beard slowly walked out of the inner hall. Xue Zhou frowned imperceptibly, stood up and supported the old man, "Godfather, you are not in good health, why are you out again."

Xue Ruyi waved his hand, bent down to pick up the paper on the ground and looked at it, then slowly sat down with his eyes downcast.

After a while, he waved his hand, and everyone in the room withdrew, leaving only Xue Zhou.

Xue Ruyi sighed, "Zhou'er, I told you before that you should not take this business."

"Xiao Yu is a member of the royal family after all. Although Ruyi Tower is now in its heyday, it cannot go against the court. If we are not careful, the whole army will be destroyed!"

"Zhou'er, I think we should return the silver and not take this business."

Xue Zhou's eyes were red, "Godfather, I will not return the silver. Not to mention that it is difficult to take such a business of hundreds of thousands of silver, and besides, my Ruyi Tower has never failed to complete the task after taking the silver."

"If this gets out, what credibility will Ruyi Tower have? Can it still take business in the future?"

Xue Ruyi was silent.

After a long while, Xue Ruyi slowly stood up, "Then you can do it yourself. I am old too. Ruyi Tower will be handed over to you sooner or later."

As he spoke, his back was slightly hunched and he went to the inner hall.
