"But...you probably haven't forgotten our agreement, right?"
"ah..."
Director Jonah's face instantly became serious. He subconsciously glanced at the closed doors and windows to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by a third party.
Then, Director Jonah nodded solemnly, walked to his desk, and opened the bottom drawer. There was a small mezzanine hidden in that drawer, and there was a small and exquisite brass key hidden in the mezzanine.
.
Director Jonah took out the key, walked to a row of bookcases on the left side of the office, accurately opened one of the dusty windows, and took out an inconspicuous paper package from the depths of the bookcase.
"Your Majesty Bonaparte, all the records and vouchers you requested for Madame Du Barry's misappropriation of royal property are contained in it."
Director Jonah did not dare to be careless at all, and solemnly handed the paper package to Lawrence:
"In this case, our deal is completed, right?"
Lawrence took the paper bag and opened it cautiously and took a look. Inside was a large stack of account books and accounting vouchers, all related to Madame Du Barry and stamped with the royal seal.

After hearing this, Director Jonah finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face:

Director Jonah was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion:

Lawrence smiled and asked:
"Then what if the target of these rumors is a person that you and I hate extremely?"
"You mean...? Countess du Barry?!"
Director Jonah asked in a daze. He vaguely realized that he seemed to be involved in a larger conspiracy.
"I told you before, Mr. Supervisor, that I may ask you to assist me with some additional tasks."
Lawrence lowered his voice, and there was no pressure in his tone, but it did not allow Director Yona the slightest room to refuse:
