Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Does Old Master Xu Know?
Song Jinyan sneered coldly, âThe last friend.â Just like her despicable and shameless father.
Knowing that the boss always got in a bad mood whenever his second uncleâs family was mentioned, Songshan wisely skipped the topic. He had only brought it up to elicit a laugh from the boss, who had been too busy and worn out recently.
The two of them were now standing outside, discussing the affairs of Clear Water County.
âOur people came back last time without any success, and you said to hold off for a while, boss, but I wasnât content. Taking advantage of Su Wenâs shop opening, I went to give my support, and also made a side trip to Clear Water County.â
Songshan had not planned to visit Clear Water County before leaving the Capital. It was only after arriving in the Province that he decided to make the detour on a whim. He went specifically to Clear Water County to investigate the matter the boss had assigned to him.
The previous group had returned empty-handed, but Songshan went alone, keeping a low profile, and he went prepared. Surprisingly, he did find out something.
All along, he had been curious why the boss wanted to investigate Su Xuewen and the Su family. But since the boss was unwilling to share, he didnât pry further. This trip to Clear Water County, however, revealed some clues, which were so alarming Songshan wished he had remained ignorant.
Nevertheless, having learned the truth, he could now understand the bossâs special treatment toward the Su Wen sisters.
âYou know?â Song Jinyan didnât doubt Songshanâs capabilities for a moment, his expression turning much more stern and his eyes filled with icy coldness.
âIâŠâ Songshan said awkwardly, knowing such information was not exactly a blessing.
âIf you know, then you know. Itâs nothing,â Song Jinyan shrugged nonchalantly, âI trust you, donât worry.â
He hadnât arranged for Songshan to go because he didnât want to involve him, but now that he was involved, it was fine.
Songshan breathed a silent sigh of relief, then began recounting the investigation in Clear Water County, âThe people we sent last time were dismissed. The one meddling in these matters is a guy named He Changming. He faced off with our men several times in secret, and our men were at a disadvantage. My visit this time was well-timed, as He Changming was particularly busy with work, which gave me an opportunity.â
âThe one collaborating with Su Wen?â
âYes, thatâs right. Itâs said that heâs on good terms with the Su family and apparently wants to become their live-in son-in-law.â
He!â Song Jinyan scoffed, âTo be brothers-in-law with Zhou Hengyang is also not a bad opportunity.â
Songshan couldnât tell if the boss was being complimentary or derogatory, so he decided not to dwell on it and just relayed the information he had discovered: âThis time, I bribed a person named Zhang Chunxiang. She told me something.â
Song Jinyanâs body tensed up suddenly, âTell me, what is it?â
âShe said that years ago, someone else had come to the village to inquire about things. From her description, I guess it must have been Old Master Xuâs men,â Songshanâs voice lowered as he spoke.
He knew what the boss was suspecting, evident from his attitude toward Second Uncle Song and Song Zishan. The bossâs hunch was nearly materializing into certainty. But Songshan hadnât expected Old Master Xu to be involved too.
Did Old Master Xu know?
He probably did, right?
If Old Master Xu knew, then⊠why would heâŠ
Songshan couldnât help but shiver.
âGrandfatherâs men?â A moment of bewilderment flashed across Song Jinyanâs face, followed by a profound shock. His face turned pale, and his thin lips lost their color. âIf grandfather made a move, it would be impossible not to find out the truth. Heh heh⊠Songshan, tell me, what is the truth?â
âI⊠Maybe youâre mistaken, boss.â
