Hearing Bai Tonghai's words, Gu Cheng was not surprised. After all, that was 30,000 amethyst stones, which was not a small amount for any family.

It's not that they don't have 30,000 amethyst stones, but that they simply can't come up with so many at once!

Take the Gu family for example. Although everyone in the Gu family has no shortage of food and drink, and they can buy anything they like if they want, it doesn't mean that the Gu family can just take out 30,000 amethyst stones.

Each family has its own business and store, and not all the money earned goes into their own pockets. Most of the money is in the capital chain of these stores to maintain the operation of the stores.

As for what can be disposed of at will, only a small part of it, plus a family has to support so many people, there won't be much left after just dividing it.

If the Bai family really wanted to take out these 30,000 amethyst stones at once, it would be impossible unless they borrowed them from others or sold a few stores!

Of course Gu Cheng knows this, but it has nothing to do with his Gu family, and it's not like they have to pay for it!

Just when Bai Tonghai and Gu Cheng were confronting each other, and no one was letting go, Gu Muyue suddenly spoke up, and all of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"Master Bai, it's not up to your Bai family to decide whether it's okay or not." Gu Muyue reminded lightly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Tonghai didn't take Gu Mu Yue seriously at all. After all, in his eyes, Gu Mu Yue was just an ant that could be crushed to death easily, and was not worth his attention at all.

"It's very simple. As the biggest victim in this matter, since your Bai family can't give me a reasonable explanation and compensation, then I can only seek help from the city lord." Gu Muyue showed a very helpless expression.

Hearing Gu Muyue's non-deterrent threat, before Bai Tonghai expressed his stance, Bai Zhengming, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but sneered, his face full of ridicule.

Hu Xiao, the lord of Zeyun City, is a member of the imperial court. As the lord of Zeyun City, in addition to his own obligations, he also has a more important thing, which is to keep an eye on every move of the Gu family and report it to the person above him at any time. .

Even though Xuandu and Zeyun City were far apart, the man above him never let go of Gu Yuan, so he sent Hu Xiao to monitor any actions of the Gu family.

As the largest official in Zeyun City, Hu Xiao was supposed to be the one calling the shots in Zeyun City, but it happened that there was a Gu family taking root in Zeyun City.

Compared to Hu Xiao, the city lord who suddenly descended from the sky midway, the people of Zeyun City were more willing to listen to Gu Yuan's words. Because of this, Hu Xiao was very unkind to the Gu family and often found fault with the Gu family in memorials and said bad things about the Gu family.

In addition to monitoring the Gu family, Hu Xiao also had to take care of the seventh prince, the most beloved prince in the Tianjin Kingdom.

In addition, Bai Lian has a close relationship with the Seventh Prince. Who in Zeyun City doesn't know that the city lord Hu Xiao has an unusual relationship with the Bai family.

Now Gu Muyue actually said that she wanted to file a complaint with Hu Xiao, hahahaha! He is really a child, so innocent!

Thinking of this, Bai Zhengming suddenly no longer feared his father's majesty. He looked directly at Gu Muyue with disdain and said provocatively: "Go ahead! It's best to make it clear to the city lord and let him know how you are blackmailing us." From the Bai family!"

That’s right! In Bai Zhengming's mind, Gu Muyue was blackmailing the Bai family by asking for 30,000 amethyst stones!

What kind of mental damage fee? He had never heard of it!

Gu Muyue naturally knew Hu Xiao's true identity, but her purpose was not to really complain to Hu Xiao. She rolled her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Okay! Since your Bai family wants the city lord to uphold justice for me, then I have to show all my photo stones to the city lord."

With that said, Gu Muyue changed the topic, "Since you said that Bai Lian did not do these things and it was all done by Bai Xi, then let's just let the city lord make the decision!"

"Anyway, I have a lot of photo stones. My uncle brings me photo stones every time he comes back. I put them all in the room. Then I will look at them one by one. I believe that the Lord of the City is so wise that he must know who the thief is!"

"And you can also judge from the picture in the image stone whether the items on the list are correct and whether they are worth thirty thousand amethyst stones!"

As soon as these words came out, the Bai family didn't understand anything. Bai Zhengming and Wu Yuzhen were speechless for a moment and looked at Gu Muyue blankly.

What? Gu Muyue actually had more than one photo stone, and they all were placed in the room!

In the past, the day after Gu Cheng came back, Bai Lian and Bai Xi would rush to find Gu Mu Yue, knowing in their hearts what their daughter was going to do.

So they didn't dare to bet that when Bai Lian went to Gu's house to do those things, it wasn't recorded by the photo stone.

Once these things are exposed by the photo stone, it goes without saying that Bai Lian's image will plummet, which will be very detrimental to her future marriage into the royal family!

Thinking of this, Bai Tonghai's gloomy eyes fell on Gu Muyue, and he warned calmly: "Gu Muyue, what do you want?"

"It's very simple! I only have two requirements, it's up to you which one you choose." Gu Muyue said nonchalantly.

When Bai Tonghai and Gu Muyue were confronting each other, no one present noticed that the sky in Zeyun City suddenly became much darker.

Bai Tonghai was constantly struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he really didn't want to part with these 30,000 amethyst stones. On the other hand, Bai Lian was of great significance to the Bai family and absolutely no mistakes were allowed!

As he was thinking about it, Bai Tonghai's eyes flashed with sternness, and his sinister gaze slowly crawled towards Gu Muyue. He didn't know what he was planning in his heart.

Just when Gu Muyue was thinking about whether to summon another thunderbolt to strike this old guy, a child's voice suddenly sounded in the silent atmosphere.

"Father! What is that in the sky?!" A child among the onlookers pointed to the sky with an expression of surprise and novelty on his face.

In the silence, everyone was attracted by this child's voice. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked up at the sky. They really didn't know what to do and were shocked when they saw it.

"Damn! What the hell is that?!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in fright.

I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds at this moment, and the sky was gloomy, and in the sky not far away, a large black cloud formed a large vortex, hovering in the sky.

Different from ordinary dark clouds, that black cloud is darker and thicker than other clouds. Not only that, the cloud also emits bursts of blue light from time to time, making the picture even more spectacular.

At this moment, a loud voice in the crowd stood out among the various exclamations, "Wait! That direction is... the Gu family!"
