Chapter 9 Revised:

Of course, I need Song Yan.

Li Xiaoxiao taking my things is not just a one-time or two-time thing.

I've always had the habit of buying gold as a hedge, and when Li Xiaoxiao first couldn't pay her debt, she smuggled some small gold nuggets out from my house.

Song Yan finally sorted out that the amount involved was as high as 120,000.

There's no way Li Xiaoxiao could have stolen that much.

I gave a blameless smile.
