My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2101: Chapter 2097: Who Did This?

"What exactly happened here, who on earth did this?"

Meng Rushan roared through gritted teeth.

Shortly afterward, the entire Meng Family was wailing in despair.

Aside from the Meng Family’s ancestor who was always cultivating and Meng Xianjun who was under house arrest, every other member of the Meng Family found their clothes had vanished without a trace, not even a scrap of fabric was left in the entire family estate.

Even more frightful, the Meng Family’s large assets were all stolen, even the family savings vault and the Treasure Pavilion housing rare treasures and the Cultivation Technique Secret Techniques were emptied, including the secret manual of the Meng family’s ultimate skill, the Purple Lightning Profound Skill. Such a loss was immense.

After taking stock, within just one night, the Meng Family transformed from a top hidden family with astonishing wealth and foundation to the poorest hidden family to date, poor enough to not afford clothes.

In terms of wealth and resources, they might not even match a common business family in the city.

The Meng Family didn’t have many people using bank cards, nor did they have much cash, most of their wealth existed in the form of physical items.

Now that all those items were stolen, how the vast family was going to survive became a deadly problem.

An hour later, the Meng Family ancestor sat in the study with a dark expression, looking at a few members of the Chu Family, trembling with rage: "You bunch of useless wretches, how can you hold your heads high as martial generals, as our Meng Family’s disciples, when even your clothes were stolen?"

"Ancestor, we don’t know what happened either, we woke up to find all our clothes gone, along with the Meng Family’s vast wealth stolen, this thief is truly detestable!"

"Yeah! I clearly remember wearing pajamas to bed last night, but for some reason, when I woke up, I was stark naked."

"It’s really embarrassing now, it’s somewhat bearable for the men, but the women don’t even dare to go outside, they don’t have even a quilt to cover themselves at home, what are we to do?"

.....

Meng Rushan and several Meng Family martial generals sat together stark naked, using their hands to cover their groins while sighing helplessly. It’s utterly disgraceful.

"Outrageous, simply outrageous, who dared to have such boldness to come and steal from our Meng Family."

The Meng Family ancestor was so angry he was blowing his beard and glaring, pounding the table while cursing: "Investigate this immediately, no matter what, find out who did it? And where did the night watchmen disappear to last night, did they notice nothing at all?"

"Reporting to ancestor, yesterday our large group went on an expedition, everyone was exhausted upon returning and went to bed early, so there were no night watchmen."

Meng Rushan quickly reported, "The issue is that the Meng Family has never encountered anything like this, nor has anyone dared to come and steal from us, it’s like courting death."

"Never, never, and now it has happened, and so completely too, even the underwear is gone, it’s mortifying."

The Meng Family ancestor cursed in exasperation.

"Ancestor, the clothing issue is minor, I’ve already instructed the vassal families within the Urban System to quickly send over clothing, but the major issue is the Meng Family’s vast treasures and Cultivation Technique secret manuals also being stolen, the loss is too great for us."

Meng Rushan watched the ancestor apprehensively.

"Have we accounted for exactly how much has been stolen?"

The Meng Family ancestor frowned.

"It’s... beyond counting, all the valuable things in the house are gone, it hardly seems like a human could have done this, even the most skilled thief couldn’t have done it so silently."

Meng Rushan sighed helplessly, speaking cautiously: "The main concern is, many martial generals were also robbed, which is completely irrational, with the strength of martial generals, they should have some awareness whether meditating or asleep."

"That only proves your incompetence, look at me, I didn’t get robbed."

The Meng Family ancestor tugged at his own clothes, scolding unhappily.

"Did you realize someone was conducting such a large-scale robbery in the Meng Family last night?"

Someone timidly asked.

"I..."

The Meng Family ancestor’s face stiffened, he hadn’t realized it either, otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed the thief to be so rampant.

"Hmmph, I have a few pieces of clothing over there, you guys put them on first. How can senior Meng Family members run around naked?"

The Meng Family patriarch quickly changed the topic, instructing the boy beside him to go fetch his clothes and distribute them to everyone.

Several minutes later, the naked boy rushed into the study in panic: "Ancestor, it’s terrible, your clothes are also all gone!"

"What?"

The Meng Family ancestor’s eyes widened: "That can’t be, I was meditating in the bedroom last night, no one could have entered my room."

"They truly are gone and also the few weapons and those aged liquors you had stored are gone too."

The boy wiped away a cold sweat, reporting truthfully.

"Damn it!"

The Meng Family ancestor couldn’t help but curse out loud, money was already unimportant to him, but the good wine and weapons were, and now he’s as poor as a church mouse.

Meng Rushan and the others exchanged glances, looking peculiarly at the ancestor, who just boasted about how impressive he was, only to find out he’d been robbed too.

"Huff huff huff, that damn thief must have infiltrated the Meng Family long ago; otherwise, there’s no way they could’ve carried out such a large-scale theft. You, investigate if any strangers entered the Meng Family while we were gone."

The Meng Family ancestor shouted through gritted teeth.

"Reporting to ancestor, I’ve already investigated, no one infiltrated while we were gone. I reckon the thief arrived at the Meng Family yesterday, otherwise, he could’ve acted when we weren’t here."

Meng Rushan quickly explained, then his face changed slightly, staring intently at the Meng Family ancestor: "Ancestor, I thought of someone, he’s the only outsider in the Meng Family."

"You mean the kid we captured yesterday?"

The Meng Family ancestor frowned: "With his useless demeanor, could he have pulled off something so big? Unlikely, right?"

"Eliminate all impossibilities, the one remaining, no matter how bizarre, must be the truth."

Meng Rushan responded resolutely.

"Let’s go, to the dungeon, see what that kid is up to now?"

The Meng Family ancestor sensed something fishy too and rose to his feet, leading a group toward the Meng Family dungeon.

By the time the group reached the dungeon, they found it empty; the kid they captured yesterday had vanished without a trace, leaving only a grand character on the wall.

"Tang Ming of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, passing through."
