Chapter 285: Mian Mian, be careful! There's a knife!

Ask Manager Yi if he has found any information.

However, as soon as they arrived in the city, they both felt something strange.

My aunt looked around, playing with a candy figurine she had bought from a small stall, and said softly, "There's a tail following us."

Ruan Mian also discovered it, and there were quite a few people.

She looked towards a narrow alley beside the street, exchanged glances with her aunt, and the two of them walked in.

Sure enough, not long after I walked in, several strong men suddenly surrounded me!

One of them was quite skilled. With a light jump, he instantly appeared in front of Ruan Mian, and a sharp blade appeared from his sleeve!

"Mianmian, be careful! There's a knife!"

They originally wanted to test who was following them, but they didn't expect that they came with the intention of killing them!

Seeing the tip of the knife heading straight for Ruan Mian's heart, her face instantly darkened. Without any hesitation, she touched the jade bracelet and summoned the big white tiger.

Before those people could react, a white tiger's roar suddenly came from behind them. The leader's face changed drastically. When the tip of the knife was still a moment away from Ruan Mian, Ruan Mian took advantage of his distraction, grabbed his wrist bone, and broke it aside.

The man only let out a cry of pain, and my aunt rushed over again with quick eyes and hands.

He pushed him away with his body, and the dagger fell to the ground.

When they saw the ferocious white tiger, they turned pale with fear! No one had expected such a wild beast to come to the city.

As the white tiger opened its bloody mouth, several people fainted from fright.

Those who were not frightened to death were also frightened by the beast and fled in all directions. However, after running a few steps, they were brought back by the white tiger's claws, and then roared at their faces and fainted again.

The leading man struggled to get up, but Ruan Mian grabbed his neck with one hand and slapped him unconscious.

Seeing several people lying on the ground, Ruan Mian beckoned to the white tiger. She and her aunt touched its head and put it into the space first.

At the critical moment, it is the beast that has to take action.

My aunt picked up the dagger and took a closer look at it. She kicked the leading man hard, feeling unsatisfied, and snorted.

"These idiots, don't they even know who they want to kill?"

"I think the person behind this doesn't take us seriously. He really thinks we are a bunch of weak people and they just picked a few minions to get rid of us."

"I'll tie them up now! And teach them a lesson."

Ruan Mian took out a lot of ropes from the space. After the two of them tied them up tightly, they used the carriage in the space to take these people to a deserted place outside the city.

My aunt waited until the leading man woke up before she lazily opened her eyes from her chair.

At this moment, she was still holding the man's dagger in her hand, staring at him with burning eyes, which made people feel a chill down their spines.

Before the man could speak, his aunt had already put the knife to his neck.

"You should know what I want to ask you. Tell me who sent you here."

The man was slightly startled, looking at them warily and unwilling to speak.

Seeing this, the aunt was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. With a little force, the sharp blade instantly cut the man's arm!

A long trail of blood appeared, and the man was frightened and started to tremble.

He was originally a thug hired by the lady. When his own life was in danger, he didn't care about anything else and confessed without saying a word.

"It's Miss Wen!! Miss Wen sent someone here to silence us."

"Miss Wen?"

The aunt turned around and glanced at Ruan Mian, muttering to herself, "But she's Wen Yuan's daughter? But when did we ever offend Miss Wen?"

After saying that, she patted the man's head and continued to ask, "Then why did Miss Wen want to silence us?"

The man shook his head with a look of grievance and said, "This...this little one doesn't know either. I just heard from Miss Wen's servant that you seem to have offended Miss Wen's husband."

"Husband? It's like you're sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky!"

The eldest aunt couldn't help but laugh out loud, but at this moment Ruan Mian frowned, thinking about something: "What is the name of Miss Wen's husband?"

"Zongjun."

The man answered truthfully. The name reminded Ruan Mian of that familiar face.

Because when I saw my brother that day, I heard the people who were salvaging with me call him that.

Just as she was thinking about it, her aunt seemed to have thought of this as well and immediately looked at Ruan Mian: "Is it Song'er?"

The next morning, Ruan Mian went to see Manager Yi on purpose.

When she first arrived in Runing, she asked someone to send a letter to Manager Yi.

Today, Manager Yi was going to personally deliver the message to her, but Ruan Mian had already taken the initiative to come to her.

Seeing this, Manager Yi quickly took her to the backyard of the shop and told her.

"Madam Ruan! I already have information about what you asked me to find out. The man named Zongjun is Miss Wen's husband, but Miss Wen and Zongjun left Runing yesterday. As for where they went, I haven't found out yet."

It was just as she expected, but she didn't expect them to leave Runing City now.

Why did he choose to leave at this time? Was it because of his encounter with me yesterday?

Considering that Miss Wen had come to kill to silence her, Ruan Mian was almost certain that Zong Jun was most likely her brother. As for why he couldn't recognize her, it might be related to Miss Wen.

Shopkeeper Yi saw the urgency of the situation and couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Ruan, don't worry too much. I've already sent more people to help you find out the news. If Miss Wen left yesterday, she shouldn't have gone far."

Ruan Mian was not anxious about this matter: "It's okay, she will come back on her own."

After all, her father is in a very popular position right now. As long as she takes action and the Wen family is in danger, she has no faith that she won't come back.

Their plan began on the second day.

Ruan Mian and her aunt prepared for the entire day, and during this day, Wen Yuan, who was recovering from his injuries, was also busy.

Every day I think about the property that fell into the river.

After noon, he received a note from Manager Yi, saying that a banquet would be held in the largest restaurant in Runing the next night and he wanted to entertain them before the New Year. He also mentioned some new treasures and hoped that Master Wen would be so kind as to go and take a look.

It was common for these merchants to hold banquets for them, so Wen Yuan didn't think much about it. Moreover, he had dealt with Manager Yi before, and he was a well-known old merchant in Runing City.

He made a lot of money in business last year, and especially when he heard that there were treasures waiting for him to "appreciate" this time, Wen Yuan would of course give him the honor.

Even if he had to drag his injured leg, he would still attend the banquet.

However, the next day, the largest brothel in the city suddenly opened a porridge stall.

Not only did they not open the shop to welcome customers, but they gave out porridge outside the door. At first, a group of women stood outside, and even with veils and hats, it was hard to believe that they were doing a good deed.

Those people outside said bluntly: "This is really strange. This is the first time I've seen a brothel giving out porridge to the public. Could there be some aphrodisiac in this porridge?"
