“Cough, cough... Lord Demon Emperor, we don't know where the items went either! Whoever you say took them, then they definitely took them...”
After kneeling down, the Black Crow leader shouted loudly.
Boohoo... This is too hard. Is it easy to do a construction project? And now we've run into trouble!
Hearing this, Lu Ming and his group couldn't help but twitch their lips. What a classic “whoever you say it is, it is.”
The Demon Emperor was also speechless, but he still said, “If I say Little 98 took them... did Little 98 really take them?”
The Black Crow leader froze and couldn't help but look at Ye Fan. “Ah... this...”
“Lord Demon Emperor, I swear, I really don't know who took them!”
The Black Crow leader was on the verge of tears. This prince was also an existence they couldn't afford to offend!
“Lord Demon Emperor, we swear too, we don't know either...”
The group of minor demons also shouted their oaths one after another.
Ye Fan's face darkened, and he shouted in annoyance, “Father, you can't just accuse me without proof! Everything needs evidence...”
I must find a way to kill this damn Demon Emperor as soon as possible. He's so fucking annoying and always gets in the way!
He then snapped his head around to glare at Lu Ming and his group, “Father, I demand to search their storage bags...”
He believed that after Lu Ming and the others dug up everything, they must have hidden it in their storage bags.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, just as Lu Ming was about to speak, the Demon Emperor's voice rang out, “Why don't we search your storage bag first?”
Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, Ye Fan was stunned once again.
This Demon Emperor was truly capable of redefining his rock bottom.
He never expected the other party to say something like this.
He didn't understand why a romance-addled mind would also affect one's intelligence.
But his own storage bag couldn't just be inspected by anyone!
Because inside it were the half of the construction supplies he had embezzled.
If they searched his first, wouldn't he be unable to explain it away...?
No, they had to search Lu Ming's and the others' storage bags first.
As long as they found the things dug up from the Duke's residence in their storage bags, they could convict them...
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's eyes flickered, and he spoke, “Father, please believe me. I am the child born of the Empress. How could I falsely accuse another demon? If you don't believe me, do you not believe my mother either?”
Indeed, the moment Ye Fan mentioned the Empress, the Demon Emperor froze. That actually made sense!
His wife was absolutely a good demon!
Then, he looked over at Lu Ming and the others.
However, before he could speak, Lu Ming didn't waste any words.
He took a direct step forward and handed over his storage bag, “Lord Demon Emperor, after all, we are outside demons, so it's normal that you don't trust us. You should go ahead and check...”
Hearing this, Ye Fan looked at the storage bag in Lu Ming's hand with a face full of disbelief.
Then, he frowned, not understanding why Lu Ming would hand over his storage bag so readily.
Could it really not be them? No way, I couldn't have guessed wrong.
Looking at the storage bag in Lu Ming's hand, the Demon Emperor felt a bit embarrassed.
They were letting him check so openly and honestly; it definitely wasn't stolen by them.
Seeing the Demon Emperor's expression, Ye Fan quickly spoke, “Father, you should still check it. This way, they can also clear their names of suspicion...”
“Yes, yes... the 98th Prince is right. Lord Demon Emperor, you should still check it!”
Huang Tianbao also chimed in repeatedly.
The Demon Emperor couldn't help but glare at Ye Fan. Look at their broad-mindedness, and then look at you.
Ye Fan was utterly speechless. My goodness, can't you be a bit more normal?
Right then, the Demon Emperor took Lu Ming's storage bag and inspected it.
Inside, other than some spiritual herbs, there were only some spirit fruits, and not even a few spirit stones...
There were also a few pieces of trashy spiritual artifacts!
The Demon Emperor couldn't help but frown. This is way too poor!
Seeing the Demon Emperor frown, Ye Fan was delighted. Did he find something?
But why isn't he saying it?
Could he still be trying to protect this damn fellow?
“Father, please handle this impartially!”
Hearing this, the Demon Emperor snapped his head up and threw the storage bag to Ye Fan, “See for yourself!”
Ye Fan hurriedly caught the storage bag. He peered inside and instantly froze.
There was actually nothing? How was that possible?
He then turned his gaze to Huang Tianbao and the others.
Before he could even speak, Huang Tianbao and the rest of the group directly unfastened their storage bags and tossed them onto the ground.
They even pulled out their backup storage bags.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan was furious, but he still picked up everyone's storage bags and checked them one by one.
“Nothing? How could there be nothing? This shouldn't be!” Ye Fan muttered, his brow furrowed deeply.
Next, he turned his gaze to Big Yellow.
“Enough!” The Demon Emperor roared in anger. This child was going too far.
“Woof woof!!”
Big Yellow quickly stopped the Demon Emperor, soothing him:
Demon Emperor! Don't be so excited! Don't be angry, the child just wants to find the truth!
Let him search, let him search...
Saying so, Big Yellow tossed its own storage bag to Ye Fan as well.
By now, Ye Fan understood in his heart that the items were definitely not on them.
They must have already been moved elsewhere.
He just didn't know where they had transferred them to.
“Search, go ahead and search as hard as you can!” the Demon Emperor also shouted at this moment.
Ye Fan checked Big Yellow's storage bag, and indeed, there was nothing.
There wasn't even anything belonging to humans in their storage bags.
He scanned his surroundings once more. Where on earth did they transfer them to?
Suddenly, his gaze locked onto Zhu Wuneng, who was standing behind the Demon Emperor.
Seeing Ye Fan looking at him, Zhu Wuneng was startled, “Why are you looking at me? Search by yourself, I'm not going to help you look...”
Zhu Wuneng's words made everyone's lips twitch.
Lu Ming couldn't help but find it hilarious. This 98th Prince was probably going to blow his top again, wasn't he?
Sure enough, on Ye Fan's dog-fur-covered face, even his whiskers were trembling.
But he still took a deep breath and spoke, “I just want to see your storage bag...”
“What? You want to see my storage bag? You actually suspect me?”
Zhu Wuneng widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
This was the first time in his life he had been suspected by a demon of committing such a massive crime, stripping the entire Duke's residence bare.
He was actually somewhat excited.
Then, in a flurry, Zhu Wuneng unfastened his storage bag.
He even pulled out his backup storage bag from his robes and stuffed them both into Ye Fan's hands.
“Here, here... take a good, long look... Honestly, even I suspect I was the one who stole the stuff!”
Ye Fan speechlessly took the storage bags. He didn't actually suspect Zhu Wuneng of stealing the things.
Rather, he suspected that Zhu Wuneng was being used by these damn mortals...
At this moment, the Demon Emperor merely looked at Ye Fan with a dark expression. He felt like this son was a lost cause.
Too stupid!
To actually suspect the little piglet of stealing?
How could that even be possible?
