Chief Escort Lu's face turned red with embarrassment, as this was only the second time in his life that he had suffered such a great humiliation!
The first time was when he failed to safeguard a consignment many years ago; the cargo was lost and the clients came to his door, demanding accountability.
But back then, he could hold his head high and say, "I will compensate for the cargo with silver, even if it takes me a lifetime to pay it back, I still have my son and my grandson!"
However, now, Ye Jiu's words left him with no room to retort.
Ye Jiu was right; even if they sold their entire family, they couldn't afford to compensate for the lost goods, let alone the lives of Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng.
Ye Jiu was also extremely impatient; if it weren't for the fact that she still needed these people, she would have chased them away the moment Chief Escort Lu began to plead.
