Just Once

Xia Songquan listened and forgot about it, not taking Lu Ming's words to heart.

"Well, keep an eye on the five thousand taels of silver in case someone has the guts to take that," Xia Songquan said to Lu Ming. And this "someone" referred to Xia Chengzhu.

Lu Ming took the order and turned around to leave.

He went to the accountant, who was in a standoff with the person who came to ask for money because of the sudden expenditure of such a large amount of money.

That was because the accountant would not easily give out so much money without Xia Songquan's token.

Otherwise, if they asked him to take responsibility because of the lack of evidence, he could never pay it back, even if he didn't eat or drink for the rest of his life.

"This five thousand taels of silver is Old Mr. Xia's decision. Give it to him. It's for Mr. Chengxue's consultation fee," Lu Ming walked over and explained to the accountant.
