"Hehe… Serves him right…"
Su Yang could hear the other business owners laughing to themselves, but they didn't give him the impression that they were the culprit.
"Excuse , fellow Daoists, do you have any idea what happened here?" Su Yang decided to act like a good neighbor and asked them in a calm voice.
"Huh? We didn't see anything."
They quickly shook their heads.
Obviously, they were lying. After all, the City of Pleasure never sleeps, so there was simply no way that soone could've made such a ss and got away with it without any witnesses.
It was obvious to Su Yang that these people knew who did it, but they weren't going to tell him because they didn't like his business that grew too large too quickly, invoking their jealousy.
Of course, Su Yang didn't care if they told him or not.
"What should we do now? We cannot open the business in this condition." i Ying said to him.
"Don't worry, I can clean up most of it."
Su Yang then waved his sleeves, summoning his alchemy flas and using them to burn away all of the trash without damaging the property.
This greatly surprised everyone there, as this was Su Yang's first display of alchemy skills.
"You're an Alchemy Master as well?" i Ying looked at him with awe in her eyes.
"Well, I did study so alchemy as a hobby," he said with a smile.
"Why didn't you beco an Alchemy Master instead?" i Ying couldn't help but ask him.
"I like this job better," he chuckled in a mischievous manner.
It took a couple of minutes, but Su Yang eventually cleaned out all of the trash using his alchemy flas.
However, the foul sll still lingered, and the walls and door were still damaged.
Although there was nothing he could do about the damaged walls for now, he had a thod to deal with the sll.
"Follow inside." Su Yang said to i Ying, who followed him inside.
i Ying imdiately started choking from the intensive sll that was much worse inside due to the enclosed space.
Once they were inside, Su Yang retrieved so ingredients and concocted a pill on the spot.
i Ying could suddenly sll a sweet fragrance within the air, causing her to look at the pill in Su Yang's hands.
"Manager, what's that?"
"An aroma bomb of sorts," he responded in a calm manner before crushing the pill and scattering the pill all over the place like he was scattering one's ashes.
He then waved his sleeves, creating a small gust of wind that quickly swept through the building and outside, imdiately removing the foul sll.
"Wow, it slls so good. I have never slt anything this pleasant before." i Ying, who was just choking from the foul sll, began taking deep breathes with a relaxed look on her face.
The sweet fragrance didn't just stop inside the building and quickly spread outside to the streets, causing the pedestrians to raise their eyebrows as they wondered what was creating this wonderful sll.
"What about the building?" i Ying asked him a mont later.
Although the trash and foul sll were gone, their building was still damaged.
Su Yang shrugged and said, "As long as this building doesn't collapse, we can still accept custors."
"I understand."...
i Ying sat behind the reception desk once they opened the business, but since there was no longer a door for their building, i Ying could watch people passing by their store while glancing at the inside with interest and curiosity.
"What happened here?" One of their custors asked as she waited for the current custor to be finished.
"Well… We got vandalized by sobody," i Ying sighed.
"Why would soone do such a thing…? Even if they aren't happy with the changes, to stoop so low…"
"We don't know who did it. It could've been a custor, or it could've been soone else entirely. We also don't know their motives."
"Is that so…"
The custor then said, "Why don't you try asking the city for help? They can investigate for you."
"I will let the Manager know. Thank you." i Ying said to her.
The day continued with every other custor that entered their building asking the sa questions.
By the end of the day, i Ying had lost track of the number of tis she had to tell her custors about the vandalization.
"Good work today," Su Yang said to her after he finished satisfying his last custor for the day.
"You too." i Ying nodded.
"How about a massage?" He then asked her.
Of course, i Ying didn't refuse and followed him to the massage room.
An hour later, they returned to the hotel.
"Welco back, Mother, Manager." i Xing said to them, completely unaware of the incident today.
"i Xing, there's sothing you should know…" i Ying approached her with a solemn expression.
"Did sothing happen?" i Xing could tell that sothing unfortunate had happened based on the atmosphere.
i Ying nodded and proceeded to explain to her about the vandalized store.
"What! How could soone be so shaless! Manager, you should definitely report this to the city and have it investigated!"
However, Su Yang shook his head and said, "I won't find the culprit if I start an investigation."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Nothing," he said with a calm smile on his face.
"Eh? How could you do nothing? How will that help?" i Xing raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"Just wait and watch. The culprit will definitely try to vandalize the building again when they see that we had ignored their hard work."
"And when they try to vandalize the store again, you'll be there to catch them, right?!" i Xing added.
Su Yang nodded.
"But Manager, how are you going to capture them if you're here?" i Xing then asked a logical question.
"I have already set up a trap. I don't need to do anything myself," he shrugged.
"I see… I cannot wait to see the culprit captured!" i Xing nodded.
