Chapter 126 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

"Not yet." Zhao Ya said.

Ning Shanfeng looked disappointed.

He naturally knew that his daughter Ning Shan went to the Shangfu cocktail party to seek help.

When he heard that his daughter invited Zhao Ya, the young genius who caught the Jade Butterfly, Ning Shanfeng really had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Maybe this Zhao Ya could solve the desperate situation his family was facing as soon as he came.

With this idea in mind, he struggled to stay awake and waited for the result.

Now that he heard Zhao Ya say that he didn't find any clues, Ning Shanfeng's heart gradually sank again.

Zhao Ya naturally discovered this, but he ignored it and continued to ask: "Manager Ning, how many people know about the fact that a large number of cloths are stored in your warehouse? Please think about it carefully and tell me."

Hearing Zhao Ya's question, Ning Shanfeng said with all his strength.

"I have thought about this matter more than once during this period of time. After thinking about it, apart from me and my wife, only Shan'er and the few people guarding the warehouse know about it."

"Are those people reliable?" Zhao Ya asked.

Ning Shanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "If you asked me this before, I would definitely answer that they are reliable. After all, these people have been my old friends for 20 to 30 years. It can even be said that their lives and property are closely related to Yongsheng Cloth Shop."

"But now I am not sure. In this day and age, who dares to say who is absolutely reliable?"

His words were full of decadence, which showed that this theft had caused a heavy blow to this old man who had been in the business world for many years.

After listening, Zhao Ya was thoughtful and suddenly said, "Can I see your wife?"

Ning Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, Shan'er, go to the back and call your mother out."

"Yes."

Ning Shan got up and went to the backyard.

This time, the wait was a bit long. It took more than half an hour before Ning Shan brought a woman in her thirties to the house.

The woman was plump. Although she was over thirty years old in this era, she was quite charming because she took good care of herself.

This woman was Ning Shanfeng's second wife, Ning Zhang.

"Master!" Ning Zhang bowed to Ning Shanfeng first.

Ning Shanfeng nodded, then pointed to Zhao Ya who was sitting next to him.

"This is Zhao Ya, the young man. He came here because of the theft in our warehouse. You should answer whatever he asks later. Don't worry."

"Yes, I met Zhao Ya."

Ning Zhang was quite polite.

Zhao Ya nodded and said straight to the point: "May I ask Madam Ning, have you ever told outsiders about the large amount of cloth stored in your warehouse?"

Ning Zhang shook her head, "I haven't told anyone."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Zhao Ya asked.

Ning Zhang's face showed a trace of shame and anger.

"Are you doubting me, Mr. Zhao? I have followed the master for so many years and have never made any mistakes. This matter is of great importance. How dare I take it lightly?"

Zhao Ya smiled, "Madam Ning, don't be excited. I just asked according to the convention. Since Madam Ning has never mentioned it to outsiders, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

Then Zhao Ya stood up and said, "It's late today, I will go back first, and I will investigate the scene in detail tomorrow."

Although Ning Shanfeng was disappointed, he also knew that this matter could not be solved in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "Shan'er, please send Mr. Zhao off for me."

"Yes!"

Ning Shan sent him out of the door, and then stood on the steps watching Zhao Ya go away, and suddenly felt cold in her heart.

If even Mr. Zhao, who is famous in the county city, can't find out the real culprit behind the scenes and can't recover the batch of cloth, then the only way waiting for the Ning family is bankruptcy.

After standing for a while, Ning Shan turned back with a sad look.

But she didn't know that when she turned back, Zhao Ya had stopped and turned into an alley.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Ya had gained nothing tonight, except for going around the warehouse and meeting Ning Shan's parents at Ning's house, and then asked some meaningless questions.

But only Zhao Ya himself knew that after meeting Mrs. Ning, the vague suspicion in his heart had been verified, and the only thing missing now was evidence.

With Zhao Ya's current strength, he no longer had to rely on night clothes to cover his whereabouts like before.

Once the breath-retaining technique that had reached the pinnacle was used, not to mention ordinary people, even warriors of the same level as Zhao Ya would not be able to discover it without careful observation.

With his toes lightly touching the ground, Zhao Ya flew into the darkness silently.

After a few falls, Zhao Ya arrived at the backyard of Yongsheng Cloth Shop.

When he came here just now, he had secretly memorized the layout of this place.

Ning Shanfeng lived in the main house, and there were two courtyards behind the main house, which should be where the women lived.

Zhao Ya first landed on the eaves of the main house.

At this time, the lights were still on in the house, and there were voices.

Zhao Ya listened attentively.

Ning Shanfeng coughed for a while, and then said breathlessly: "Shan'er, do you think this young man Zhao can help us find the real culprit behind the scenes?"

After a moment of silence, Ning Shan said: "I'm not sure, but judging from the way he looks today, he doesn't seem to have found any clues."

"Alas." Ning Shanfeng let out a long sigh, "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Although this Young Master Zhao has good martial arts and a good mind, this incident is too bizarre and it is impossible to find clues in a short time."

"This is the calamity that I, Ning Shanfeng, deserved due to my destiny. It just caused you trouble."

"Father……."

"No need to say it, I have already thought about it. If I can't find any clues tomorrow, then you will take Buzhuang's money and fly away."

"But if this is the case, wouldn't our Buzhuang be completely finished?"

"Do you think our Buzhuang will be finished if you don't leave? Anyway, my old bones have had enough life, and I will probably die by then."

"But you are different. You are still young, and you are not yet betrothed. If you stay, I'm afraid you will be taken care of by bad guys again. After all... the person who attacked our Ning family has never shown up."

Zhao Ya nodded secretly after hearing this.

I have to say that Ning Shanfeng is worthy of being an old man who has been in the shopping mall for many years, and his mind is indeed clear.

At least this is very clear.

What else Ning Shan wanted to say at this time, Ning Shanfeng said: "No need to say more, you have been busy all day, go down and rest quickly."

"yes!"

Ning Shan could only respond, then stood up and left.

After getting out of the door, she walked to the back house in despair.

Ning Shan lives in the courtyard to the west, and the east is naturally where Mrs. Ning lives.

Zhao Ya watched Ning Shan's back enter the west courtyard, then turned around and headed to the east.

At this time, the windows of the rooms in this courtyard were all dark, and it seemed that people had fallen asleep.

Zhao Ya landed quietly on the eaves, moved his steps slowly, and listened carefully at the same time.

finally.

His eyes lit up, and then he stopped.

Just as he expected, voices came from the room.

Although the voice was very low, with Zhao Ya's ears, he could still hear it very clearly if he listened carefully.

Just heard a strange woman's voice coming from the house.

"Aunt Zhang, you don't have to worry. All the things will be shipped out in the next two days at the latest. By then you will have made your first contribution, and the hall master and Senior Brother Han will definitely reward you heavily."

Then Ning Zhang's voice came.

"But I'm still a little scared. You don't know how nervous I was when Zhao Ya asked me just now. That guy's eyes seemed to be able to see through people. I always felt that he seemed to have discovered something."

"Haha, Aunt Zhang, you don't have to be so afraid. What if this person named Zhao discovers something? If he wants to know something interesting, that's all. If he really dares to dig deeper, then our Paradise Cult will teach him how to behave." The strange woman sneered.

Hearing the words "Bliss Sect", Zhao Ya on the roof was slightly startled, then sneered silently.

It’s true that we are enemies on a narrow road.

How many times have you faced someone from the Paradise Cult?

However, Zhao Ya was not surprised by this result.

From the beginning, he didn't think that Mrs. Ning would do this by herself.

After all, although she was Ning Shanfeng's second wife and not her first wife, she had stayed in the Ning family for more than ten years and lived a pampered and luxurious life.

In this situation, no normal person would do anything like betrayal.

Unless someone is instigating it behind your back.

I just don’t know what conditions Ji Le taught this Ning Zhang to make her do such a destructive thing.

Zhao Ya was not in a hurry and continued to listen.

I heard Ning Zhang say: "Of course I believe in the strength of our Paradise Sect, but I can't sleep these past few days. I always feel sorry for Ning Shanfeng. After all, he usually treats me well..."

"Shut up!" the strange woman scolded, and then said seriously: "Aunt Zhang, are you so confused?"

"Ning Shanfeng is usually nice to you, but those are just small favors. How can they be compared with the divine religion that saved you from this evil world of five turbidities? Besides, don't you want to get that elixir and stay young forever? Do you want to enjoy the ultimate happiness?”

At the mention of the word fairy medicine, Ning Zhang's breathing became heavy.

"Of course I do! To be honest, as I grew up, I only understood what bliss on earth is when I took the elixir that day."

"That's right, as long as you are obedient, the Divine Religion will not treat you badly!"

"yes!"

"Stabilize your mentality these two days. If Zhao Ya comes to see you again, you won't know anything about it. I'm sorry he won't be able to do anything to you. I'm leaving."

After saying that, the back window was pushed open, and then a figure jumped out and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Ning Zhang stood in front of the window with a complicated expression.

She did feel a little guilty towards Ning Shanfeng, but when she thought of the bone-crushing elixir of bliss, she became cruel again.

As long as you can get the elixir and stay young forever, what does a mere betrayal mean?

She closed the window and went back to sleep.

At the same time, Zhao Ya was on his way.

The light body was like an agile swift, gliding silently in the wind without stirring up any waves.

If you didn't occasionally need to tap your feet on the eaves or corners of the walls, it would be no different from flying.

After entering the peak-reaching realm, Zhao Ya's body as light as a swallow's body technique has reached a height unimaginable by ordinary people.

Not to mention the masters of the same realm, even the warriors at the peak of the four realms are not as fast as him.

So when Zhao Ya followed this woman from the Paradise Cult, she didn't even notice at all.

After following her around and around the county town, they finally came to a hidden alley.

The woman looked back and made sure that no one was following her, then she stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.

Knock, knock.

After the rhythmic knocking sound, the door was opened, and then the woman flashed into it and closed the door again.

Zhao Ya stood in the shadow outside the alley and watched this scene, but was not in a hurry to act.

Because he vaguely felt that someone seemed to be secretly spying in this alley.

If he entered rashly, he would definitely alarm the people inside.

So Zhao Ya was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

After a long time, that feeling just dissipated, and then Zhao Ya entered the state of concealing his breath and sneaked over silently.

This is a small courtyard. At this time, the lights were on in the house. The woman who had just talked to Ning Zhang was standing respectfully aside, reporting something to someone.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Han, today the Ning family invited Zhao Ya from Dingtai Martial Arts School to investigate the theft in the warehouse."

"I already know about this matter, but did Zhao Ya find anything?" Senior Brother Han's voice was difficult to distinguish between male and female, and was extremely strange.

"Probably not, but he met Ning Zhang and asked a few questions, so Ning Zhang has been worried about the matter being exposed."

"Haha, what if it is exposed? Now the cloth has been obtained and will be shipped away soon. She is just a discarded pawn. After the matter is done, just kill her. Don't worry about it."

"Yes, I think so too, so I used words to calm her down just now."

"Well done, I will ask for credit in front of the hall master after the matter is done."

The woman was overjoyed, "Thank you, Senior Brother Han, I will never forget the kindness of Senior Brother Han's cultivation."

The woman raised her head with a charming smile on her face, "Senior Brother, do you need me to sleep with you?"

"No, I drank a few more glasses at the merchant party today, and I am a little tired now."

"Yes!"

"You have to be more careful recently. Sui Meimei has never returned, and the hall master is very angry about this."

Qu Xiaoxiao was shocked, and a hint of joy flashed in the depths of her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, and then pretended to be surprised.

"Did Senior Sister Sui really get into trouble?"

"I don't know, but there is no news."

"I heard that Senior Sister Sui went to look for Junior Sister Cheng?"

"Yes, that's why the hall master is so angry. After all, two people have been missing for more than a year. Obviously, someone is secretly against our Jile Sect."

Qu Xiaoxiao was shocked and thanked him again: "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. Junior Sister will remember it in her heart."

"Go down and rest."

"Yes!"

Qu Xiaoxiao went to the next room.

This Senior Brother Han was sitting in the room, and the light shone on his face that was more beautiful than a woman's.

It was Han Suyun who had appeared at the merchant's cocktail party.
