Chapter 2114: Night Investigation (Part 4)

Manager Tan curled his lips, what does this have to do with him?

"Now, let’s cut my stone." Fa Qingyang hurriedly spoke up, "Maybe I’ll have good luck."

Manager Tan quickly ordered the master to start working and no longer paid any attention to Yang Ruxin.

Believe it or not, Fa Qingyang’s luck was indeed good. Three pieces of jadeite were found, one of which was a top-grade Glazed-type.

Someone immediately offered two thousand taels to buy it, but Fa Qingyang refused. The price wasn’t low, but he wasn’t short on money. After bringing this jade material back for his master to process, its value would increase more than tenfold.

Many people recognized Fa Qingyang, so after he shook his head, no one dared to continue offering a price.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll buy today’s round..."

"Young Master Feng, there’s no need. You’ve already said that gambling relies on luck. If I’m unlucky, I have to accept it." Yang Ruxin shook her head.

Fa Qingyang knew Yang Ruxin was the kind of person who meant what she said, so he didn’t insist. Instead, he turned around and instructed someone to find hands to help transport the stones, at least to the inn first.

At a window in a room on the third floor, a masked person stood, staring intently at the people below who were about to leave.

Yang Ruxin walked a few steps and suddenly frowned, abruptly turning around to look upwards. Although it was a distance away, she could still feel a sharp gaze falling on her.

However, at the moment she looked up, the person standing at the window moved aside, so she saw nothing.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand.

Yang Ruxin shook her head, "Nothing, let’s go." Could it be that someone was watching her? Was last night’s assassination attempt related to the Tan Family? But she had no enmity with the Tan Family...

Gu Qingheng didn’t ask further.

By evening, the sky suddenly grew overcast, suggesting rain might be coming. However, it didn’t rain until midnight, only becoming extremely overcast. It was truly a dark and windy night, where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face.

What kind of night is suitable for what? Naturally, for doing things one doesn’t want others to know about.

Two shadowy figures moved through the night, crossing roofs and ridges, quickly stopping near the Tan Family Manor, landing on a rooftop. These two were none other than Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin.

The Tan Family Manor was built on the edge of Zuo County, essentially connected to the Stone Store,

"The Tan Family Manor has quite a few house servants and Protectors, all with decent martial skills," Gu Qingheng lowered his voice, "Be careful." To avoid arousing Fa Qingyang’s suspicion, he had only casually inquired about the Tan Family while chatting. Without a map, they could only have a look around.

"Hmm," Yang Ruxin nodded. They were just here to investigate whether the Tan Family Manor had anything unusual.

The Tan Family Manor occupied a large area. The main courtyard was in the center, surrounded by smaller courtyards like stars surrounding the moon.

"The houses here are arranged according to the Eight Trigrams Array," Yang Ruxin glanced at the buildings below, "It’s the same as the layout in the hall of the Stone Store, which shows that the Tan Family is not just simple jade merchants."

"But in recent years, the Tan Family hasn’t been active in the martial world," Gu Qingheng frowned.

"What if they’ve been coerced?"

Gu Qingheng gasped, and if that were the case, it might all make sense.
