"What is Mr. Ji checking for?"
Everyone had the same question.
"Could it be that Dongfang Bubai is a woman? I remember there's a version of that story,"
Someone made that guess and added, "Apart from this, there's no other possibility. Because from Mr. Ji's behavior, it's obvious that the Sunflower Secret Manual doesn't require castration."
Someone sighed, "That's just too classic."
Someone else denied, "If that were the case, how could Mr. Ji, with his character, say something like he needs to check? "
"I don't doubt Mr. Ji's character, but his way of thinking..."
"..."
The crowd suddenly fell silent, because it made too much sense.
"No need to guess anymore, when Mr. Ji comes back, he will tell us."
Cong Wen arranged, "First, let's arrange for two million taels of silver, a hundred tons!"
A hundred tons of silver is much less valuable than gold; Cong Wen could even arrange it all without needing to file any applications or reports – it was well within his authority.
