Chapter 529: Yuelai Group's Hereditary Chain Conglomerate

No one would doubt such a realistic assassination, because everyone's heart is on the left side. A sword piercing the heart looks like it is aimed at killing people. No one would act like this.

But this play is real.

The only thing is, why must Nie Xiaoli be kidnapped?

Did Wang Chulan really want to hide this girl, or did they find something wrong with themselves? Or did they want to dig out their own secrets from Nie Xiaoli?

But either way, it is not a good thing.

Nie Xiaoli is probably being tortured now, and must be rescued as soon as possible.

He turned his head and looked into the distance, muttering in his heart: Brother Masked Thief, you have to be more reliable.

However, the masked thief with white scarf, who has never been successful, failed this time.

He was a little depressed: "This Tian Yaofu is very smart, I didn't find her."

"Didn't find her?" Jiang Fan couldn't help but frowned: "Where does she live?"

"Openly, she lives in Yuelai Inn."

"Yuelai Inn?"

"Yes, it's the one near the south gate of Yining. It's easy to find. There are Yuelai Inn, Yuelai Restaurant, Yuelai Cloth Shop..."

Mr. Jiang was speechless. He had seen Yuelai in Wei State. There were many of them. Judging from this, could it be a chain in Jin State?

"Have you checked all the Yuelai restaurants and cloth shops nearby?"

Gu Qingshan shook his head: "I checked it roughly, but it's not easy to check it carefully. If you want to check it carefully, I'm afraid I have to find another way."

"What? Are there any masters in Yuelai?"

"Well... It seems that there are quite a few. Apart from other things, the innkeepers are all great martial artists, and the waiter in the wine shop is also a second-rate martial artist."

It's interesting. I felt that Yuelai was not simple last time in Jian'an, and now it seems to be true.

Jiang Fan turned his hands behind his back twice, narrowed his eyes: "If the secret visit doesn't work, let's do an open investigation."

Gu Qingshan was stunned: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Fan casually pulled out the white cloth strip in his arms, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Thief, you said that as a thief, it seems that you have never stolen anything..."

So, the post station was robbed.

To be precise, it was the eldest prince who was robbed.

The gold and jade Ruyi given by the King of Jin is not only valuable, but also a talisman given by the King of Jin to his son. Losing it is a big deal.

So the whole city of Yining was blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Soldiers swarmed out and searched every house.

As a good friend of Sima Jing, Master Jiang personally led a team to take charge of the South City area.

Master Jiang did it very logically. First, all the streets in the South City were blocked, and then divided into blocks and searched simultaneously.

And he personally led a team to take charge of the most prosperous and of course the most important South City Gate area.

To be honest, when Jiang Fan came here, he was also confused about Yuelai, a huge inn with hereditary and chain operations.

There are more than 20 Yuelai-related businesses here, ranging from inns and restaurants to rouge and powder shops.

Jiang Fan became more and more suspicious. This is definitely a giant enterprise. Who is running it?

Having become interested, Master Jiang sent people to search carefully while asking the innkeeper for information in the name of investigating the case.

The innkeeper is a fat, kind middle-aged man with a lovely smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to investigate a case. Sorry to bother you. Where is your boss?"

The shopkeeper said respectfully, "The boss has been out for more than 20 days."

"Oh... I see that Yuelai has many businesses, but are they all owned by the same family?"

The shopkeeper did not hide the fact, "All the businesses in Yining City that have the Yuelai brand are owned by the same family."

Jiang Fan seemed surprised, "Ah? So many? Who is your boss? He must be very wealthy."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Our boss was just sent down from above. I don't even know the real boss."

"Oh? So, Yuelai is very mysterious?"

"No, no, don't misunderstand me, sir. Yuelai has businesses in the five countries. The big boss is too high-ranking and we can't even reach him."

Haha, it's confirmed. It's indeed a large multinational chain enterprise.

"So you don't know who you're working for?"

"Yes, we were recruited from all over the place. We just met the person in charge of Yining City."

Jiang Fan nodded and chatted with him for a few words before sending him away.

This person probably doesn't know the inside story, but he openly said that he has businesses in the five countries in the Yuelai matter, which is very much like a legitimate businessman. It's hard for people to doubt it.

Just as he was thinking, a charming and beautiful woman walked down from the upstairs.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Fan looked up and saw that it was Tian Mole standing on the stairs.

Then he bowed: "Mrs. Tian."

Tian Mole smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that the young master would have to personally deal with such a theft."

"This is not a trivial matter. The treasure given by the king is lost, and the eldest prince can't explain it. As a brother, I can only help share the worries. I did disturb the lady, and I apologize on behalf of Brother Jing."

Tian Mole slowly walked down the stairs and came closer: "It's okay, it's all official business, just tell me if you need Tian Mole's cooperation."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Indeed. Mrs. Tian is a noble lady of the young master. The subordinates can't search the room, so I have to be the bad guy. I wonder if Madam can give me some leeway and let me have an explanation."

Tian Mole chuckled: "Sir, are you doubting me?"

"I dare not, I dare not." Jiang Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "Just don't wait until you ask, I said I was wrong. If the thief is found in the future, it's fine. If not, isn't it a weird thing?"

Tian Mole smiled and said: "That's right, in this case, I won't make it difficult for you, I will personally lead the way for you."

Jiang Fan cupped his hands and casually called four soldiers to follow Tian Mol upstairs.

Lap Mole is quite generous, and she has taken over all twelve rooms on the third floor.

She lives in the small sky-shaped room at the end.

After a search, the soldiers reported nothing.

As expected, Jiang Fan waved his hand to tell the soldiers to retreat, and cupped his hands towards Tian Mol: "I disturbed my wife, I will propose a toast to apologize another day."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Tian Na suddenly stopped him: "Master, wait a minute. Since you are here, just rest here for a while. I still want to talk to you about something."

Jiang Fan's heart moved slightly. This is what he was waiting for. He smiled and said, "Madam and Brother Sima are in a cooperative relationship. Why should I be polite to Ruochen? If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Tian Mole invited him to sit down and poured tea for him with his own hands: "Young Master...there are no outsiders here. May I call you Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "I can't hide it from Madam's discernment."

Tian Mole chuckled: "Miss Jiang is dressed in men's clothing. Although her appearance is very subtle, the throats of men and women are very different. Madam, I have been here, how can I not see the reason? Besides, His Highness welcomed Miss Jiang Ruochen in a high-profile manner. It’s not a secret, I heard about it on the first day I came here, but I didn’t expect that Miss Jiang is so talented at such a young age and is so trusted by His Highness.”

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Madam is overly praised. We are both women, but Ruochen is far different from her."

The mole cupped her cheeks and said, "Girl, you don't have to be humble. My wife can't do this at your age. Is she even ten years old?"

"Twenty years spent in vain, Madam has a sharp eye."

"Twenty-two years old is still a great time, but it is a girl who is more beautiful than any other girl, but she has risen to the top with her talent and learning, which is really impressive."

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Since I am presenting myself as Young Master Jiang, it is for the sake of convenience. Madam, please call me Young Master."

In fact, he didn't want anyone to call him Miss Jiang anymore. It was too awkward. At first, he did it just because he wanted to get close to Lin Zhaoji. Now that he has finally changed into men's clothes, it's natural to be Mr. Jiang.
