Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan looked at Yuan Jie who was standing aside and said.

"Go guard outside the door. Don't let anyone come in and interrupt our conversation."

"Yes, boss." Yuan Jie responded respectfully and quickly went to guard the door.

Gu Chan told Wei Xing everything that Wan Peng had just told her.

After hearing this, Wei Xing suddenly laughed, "Great! The person who secretly wants to deal with you is really smart! He actually found someone to impersonate Batman and wanted to put the theft of the Imperial Sword on such a beloved hero. It seems that this person is indeed very meticulous and his methods are vicious!"

"Yes, this guy has a trick up his sleeve. If I really fall into his trap this time and go to Jiangnan Academy to find this fake Batman and get killed by him, then I, the imperial envoy, will die at the hands of a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor. But if I kill the fake Batman and take back the imperial sword, the other party will put all the blame on the fake Batman and announce to the public that I killed the hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, and make the people hate me." Gu Chan said in a voice as cold as ice.

Anyway, she spent the whole afternoon thinking about it and figured out all the interests behind it clearly.

She was also certain of one thing, that the person behind the scenes was by no means an ordinary person. On the contrary, this person was extremely vicious and his methods were extremely cruel.

Wei Xing said in a deep voice, "During the time you have been in Jiangnan City, among the people you have offended, who do you think best fits this description?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be except Yan Li? Her father Yan Xishan and mother Bai Xi are not as vicious as her." Gu Chan said with a sullen face.

"It is very possible that the mastermind behind this incident is the eldest daughter of the Yan family." Wei Xing said.

"Where is the evidence? Do I dare to cause trouble for her without evidence? If I really go there, Yan Xishan will bite back at me and report me to the emperor, right?" Gu Chan said angrily.

Wei Xing scratched his head and his expression became embarrassed.

Even though they knew that the other party had set a trap there, they had to jump into it for the sake of the Imperial Sword. But let's just go! There was always a feeling of being controlled by others, and only a fool would step into such a trap.

So for a while, this matter is really a bit difficult to deal with.

Gu Chan sighed and said, "Although I was mentally prepared before coming to Jiangnan City, I didn't expect that the people here are much higher in rank. It's really not easy to deal with them. Take the big families now, for example. None of them come out to cause trouble. Not only do they hide well, but they also secretly form a rope with the officials and are always targeting me. It's difficult for me to find a way in."

"Yes! The most important thing is that the most difficult one has set his eyes on your imperial sword and is trying to turn the tables on you. If you can't find the imperial sword this time and are killed by the other party, he can hold the imperial sword at any time and find a fake imperial envoy to replace you." Wei Xing shouted.

"Damn it, it's so annoying." Gu Chan cursed angrily and slammed her little fist on the table.

Wei Xing waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry. We need to stay calm at times like this. The other party wants us to lose our composure, so we can't lose our composure."

"Don't worry, I'm in control. When I just came back, I had already smashed a table, but this one is still intact. It proves that I didn't use much force with my punch just now, and I can still control myself." Gu Chan said calmly.

Wei Xing nodded quietly.

Gu Chan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You go to Jiangnan Academy right away and secretly investigate the situation for me. I will wait for the money from the Chang family to be sent over, and I will rush over after counting it. You can hide in the dark and help me at any time."

"I understand." Wei Xing sneered.

After saying this, he immediately stood up, put on his black hat, said goodbye to Gu Chan, and left, quietly going to Jiangnan Academy.

Gu Chan sat quietly in the room waiting.

More than an hour later, Chang Wei finally sent his butler over with several large boxes of banknotes.

Because she didn't want to attract attention, Gu Chan asked him to come in through the back door and parked the cart in the backyard.

When Wan Peng came over, he saw that the person who came to deliver the silver was actually from the Chang family in Jiangnan. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He hurried to Gu Chan's ear and whispered, "Isn't this from the Chang family, one of the top families in Jiangnan? Could it be that you were able to earn 30 million taels of silver from the Chang family during your absence these few days?"

"Okay, don't be surprised. Hurry up and call your people to count the banknotes and then deposit them in your safe. Anyway, if this money is lost, your Wan family will have a hard time. You have to remember that this is border relief money, which is related to the life and death of countless ordinary people on the border. You must not be careless." Gu Chan reminded solemnly.

Wan Peng nodded hurriedly and quickly called a few accountants under his command to count the money with him.

After the butler and his men unloaded the silver boxes, they were about to leave. Gu Chan stepped forward and stopped him. She reached into her sleeve and took out two silver ingots and handed them to him, saying, "Butler, thank you for your hard work. This little bit of silver is not a token of respect. Take it and share it with the brothers. I'll treat you to a drink."

"My little brother is so righteous, so I will accept it without hesitation." The housekeeper said with a smile.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "By the way, housekeeper, after I left today, did anything happen in your house?"

"Oh! Don't mention it. I don't know what's wrong with the eldest young master. Not only did he imprison the lady, but he also summoned everyone in our house and interrogated them one by one. I don't know what he is investigating. Now everyone in the house is in a panic." The housekeeper said with a bitter face.

"Did he find out anything?" Gu Chan asked.

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, the eldest young master is very angry and has issued a death order. Without his permission, no one is allowed to let the lady out, and no one is allowed to enter the house to see her."

"Oh! Then I understand. Be careful on your way back." Gu Chan said while clasping his fists.

The butler returned the greeting respectfully with a fist salute, then left with a few of his men carrying the empty cart.

After they left, Gu Chan followed Wan Peng and others to carefully count the banknotes.

Half an hour later, the 30 million taels of silver notes were counted, and indeed, not a penny was missing.

Gu Chan said with satisfaction, "Chang Wei is quite trustworthy. He didn't owe me even a tael of silver."

"That's right. Young Master Chang has a very good reputation in our Jiangnan area, and everyone is willing to do business with him. It will definitely be a good thing for you to make friends with him." Wan Peng nodded.

Gu Chan fell silent after hearing this, thinking that she might have really misunderstood Chang Wei before. Although he looked exactly like her modern scumbag ex-boyfriend, they were not the same kind of people in essence.

This person is indeed kind and upright, and worthy of close friendship.
