Chapter 446: Chapter 233 Jiang Yi’s Stand Flag

Some women brighten the cloudy skies just by appearing, like Li Nanshuang.

Some cast everything into a misty haze, like Li Guanshi.

Yet others make the air itself seem to sizzle, such as the alluring beauty standing before him.

Wen Er was utterly dumbfounded.

Then he murmured, "Can’t mess with her, can’t mess with her..." Saying this, he quickly ran into the house.

Jiang Yi, as the unofficial emperor of the Capital, also somewhat ranked as an emperor in Dazhou.

Xu Wenqing was a criminal boss.

Thus, Jiang Yi was truly the underworld queen.

Jiang Yi sat casually on a stool, looking at the burnt scrambled eggs on the table. She picked up a piece and crumbled it lightly, then smiled and said,

"I remember the first time I cooked as a child, it was even uglier than this. Back then, my mother told me if a girl doesn’t know how to cook, she should find a charming husband who does. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found one."

Li Nanshuang’s face turned red.

Indeed, her uncle was right; burnt on the outside, burnt on the inside. Her first attempt at cooking had been a disaster.

"Coincidentally, I can cook," Jiang Shouzhong laughed.

Jiang Yi smiled sarcastically and with a hint of surprise, "Oh, Master Jiang is in good spirits, still flirting with me at this time. Your courage has grown a lot. It seems you had a good time during these days you were gone."

"Half fun, half pain,"

Jiang Shouzhong said honestly.

Any man engaging in Dual Cultivation with a beauty like Xie would certainly be happy.

But six days and nights, that would definitely be painful.

He glanced at Qiuye and Dong Xue who were following Jiang Yi and asked, "Where are Chun Yu and Xia He?"

"They went to do a job."

Jiang Yi lightly swept her hair from her ear and said lightly, "Tell me, what have you found out so far?"

Jiang Shou did not hide anything and shared the investigative leads he had gathered.

After listening, Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and asked,

"Since your culprit is in the official ranks, should we investigate there next? After all, a person missing a pinky finger should be easy to spot."

But Jiang Shou shook his head, "Firstly, these individuals might not be the same person. What if they are an organization? One provides the disguise, another borrows the weapon, and another does the killing."

Jiang Yi smiled lightly, "That would make it easier to investigate. More people mean more clues."

"That’s true, but we still need a direction for the investigation,"

Jiang Shou sighed.

Jiang Yi glanced at him with a slight smile, "Don’t play coy with me. I wasn’t planning to get involved, but two girls pleaded so earnestly, I, as their host, was too heartsore to refuse."

Jiang Shou felt warmth in his heart.

The ones who had pleaded, were undoubtedly Xia He and Qiuye.

"However..."

Her delicate fingers traced the edge of the table, her voice still calm, "don’t expect me to be able to help with everything."

Jiang Shou nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Jiang Yi’s involvement undoubtedly was a great help to him.

Although Ran Qingchen, as the new head of the Liushan Division, had many constraints making the investigation awkward, and might even alert the mysterious persons hidden in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi’s Silver Moon Tower, being a Jianghu power, had an advantage in gathering intelligence.

"Tell me, what can I help you with?"

Jiang Yi rested her chin on her hand, her sleeves slipping slightly to reveal a jade-like arm.

The woman’s posture was always so languid and alluring.

Jiang Shou said, "I still plan to continue investigating Xu Wenqing. I want to know what illness he has and his current condition."

Jiang Yi frowned, "As far as I know, the Xu Family does indeed have a hereditary family illness, similar to migraines. Whenever it strikes, he denies all visitors. It’s normal for Wu Yinxin not to take you to see him."

Jiang Shou understood her implication and smiled,

"I don’t think Wu Yinxin would lie to me. Xu Wenqing is surely sick now, I just want to know about his current condition."

Jiang Yi said, "Then we can only send someone to sneak into his house to check, but that greatly increases the risk."

"No, there’s no need for that hassle,"

Jiang Shou shook his head, "We just need to find someone who has had contact with Xu Wenqing recently and ask them."

Jiang Yi looked puzzled, her eyes shining as she watched him, "Did you not hear what I just said? Xu Wenqing denies all visitors when he is sick."

Li Nanshuang also nodded and said, "That’s right, Ms. Xu also said that, besides herself, no one else has had contact with Mr. Xu, not even the maids. Unless we find the person who threatened Mr. Xu to borrow the weapon, we’re back to square one, aren’t we?"

Jiang Shou smiled slightly, "But there is one type of person Xu Wenqing must interact with."

The two women were startled.

But Jiang Yi quickly realized, "The doctor."

"Right."

Li Nanshuang’s eyes brightened as she clapped lightly, "Ms. Xu said that many doctors were called to treat him, and only a doctor could have access to Mr. Xu."

Jiang Yi turned to Dong Xue and instructed, "Go find Old Li from the Long Family shop, have him check which doctors have visited the Xu house these past days."

"Just find the last one who went to the Xu house," Jiang Shou reminded.

"Got it."

Dong Xue nodded with a smile, her slender waist twisting as she left lightly with her Qinggong abilities.

Following Dong Xue’s departure, Jiang Yi, smiling, looked at Li Nanshuang and said,

"Girls chasing boys is like knocking through a layer of gauze, a light poke and it tears. But sometimes, if you poke wrongly, you might end up killing the boy."
