After the Jiang family finished their lively celebration that night, the Jiang family also became lively.

By the next day, not only did everyone in the food factory's residential compound know that Jiang Yiran was the biological daughter of a wealthy family in Beicheng, but the news even reached the cement factory's residential compound.

Jiang Qiaoqiao naturally heard the news as well.

She wasn't surprised at all. If Jiang Yiran still couldn't return to the Jiang family smoothly after getting so much information, then she would have truly wasted her life in the past.

However, she doesn't plan to get involved in Jiang Yiran's affairs with the Jiang family for the time being.

She has more important things to do now.

Huo Beixiao's car was parked outside Hongguang Village, which is separated from Yangjia Village by a mountain.

There is no road built in Hongguang Village, so cars can't get in.

She got out of the car and walked into the village with Huo Beixiao, where they found Huang Banxian's house.

Huang Banxian's home is at the foot of the mountain.

As she stood in front of Huang Banxian's courtyard, she looked up at the mountain behind her, the very mountain from which her father had fallen and lost his life.

Huo Beixiao reached out and knocked on the courtyard gate.

Soon, Huang Banxian's drunken voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

The door creaked open, and Huang Banxian squinted his hazy, drunken eyes and stared at the two of them for a long time.

Upon recognizing her, he instantly sobered up halfway and took two steps back warily. "Why are you here again? Let me tell you, I've returned all the money I took from Lin Xiaohui before, and I even compensated Lin Xiaohui for the two hundred yuan that Comrade Jiang gave me."

If you dare to do anything to me again, I...I..."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around the yard, searching for weapons.

He quickly grabbed a large broom from behind the courtyard gate, staring warily at Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao, "I won't be polite to you!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled, took out a bottle of Moutai, popped the cork, and said, "We're not here today to cause you trouble, but to bring you some wine..."

When Sun Tao brought Huang Banxian to the Jiang family yesterday, she could smell a strong odor of alcohol on him.

Yesterday, she asked Lin Xiaohui about Huang Banxian's hobbies again. After learning that Huang Banxian was unmarried, had no children, and his only hobby was drinking, she prepared this bottle of Moutai to tempt him.

When Huang Banxian saw the Moutai, his eyes lit up. When he smelled the rich aroma of the sauce, his mouth watered and he couldn't take his eyes off the bottle.

But soon, he straightened his expression, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao warily. "Alright, we're not related. I offended you yesterday, but you bring me such good wine today."

"You definitely want something from me. Tell me, what do you want from me? If you don't tell me, no matter how good your wine is, I won't dare drink it."

"I just want to ask you a question. If you answer me, this wine is yours." Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"What's the problem? Tell me." Upon hearing that it was so easy to get a bottle of good wine, Huang Banxian's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the wine bottle in Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's gaze fell on Huang Banxian, "Why were you so scared when you saw Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yong'an yesterday?"

"Who? Who is Jiang Jiahua? And who is Jiang Yong'an?" Huang Banxian looked confused.

In just a few words, Jiang Qiaoqiao explained which two people were Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yong'an at the Jiang family yesterday.

After realizing what was happening, Huang Banxian immediately withdrew his gaze from the Moutai liquor, puffed out his chest, and said with obvious guilt as he avoided eye contact, "Who...who said I'm afraid of them? I don't know them at all. Why...why would I be afraid of them?"

Looking at him like this, Jiang Qiaoqiao's suspicions continued to grow.

Huo Beixiao stepped forward with a stern expression. "Master Huang, my wife and I have come to pay you a proper visit today with some fine wine. If you answer my wife's questions properly, not only will you receive this bottle of wine, but I'll also cover all your drinking from now on."

But if you pretend to be crazy, then you're just asking for trouble.

Huo Beixiao exuded a terrifying aura, and Huang Banxian was somewhat intimidated, but he still puffed out his chest and said, "You... what do you want to do? Don't think that just because you threaten me, I'm afraid of you."

Let me tell you, this is a new society, a socialist society, a society governed by the rule of law. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I... I'll go to the police station and report you to the police..."

Huo Beixiao gave a forced smile and said, "If you don't answer my wife's question properly, I'll go to the police even if you don't."

"Back in the old days when we were destroying the Four Olds, you had nowhere else to cheat and swindle, so you went into a lot of ancient tombs in the back mountains and sold quite a few things, didn't you?"

Huang Banxian stared at Huo Beixiao in shock, his pupils dilating in fright. "You... how did you know?"

Huo Beixiao said coldly, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Tell me, don't worry, I will guarantee your safety and won't let them harm you."

Upon hearing this, Master Huang seemed reassured. "You said it yourself! If you can't keep your word, I, Old Huang, will haunt you even after I become a ghost!"

"rest assured!"

Huang Banxian took a deep breath before he was about to speak.

But before he could even speak, he lost his nerve again.

He reached out his hand to Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Girl, give me the wine first. I need to have a couple of sips before I can say anything."

After gulping down several mouthfuls of wine, Huang Banxian finally mustered up his courage, wiped his mouth, and began to recount what he had seen.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Qiaoqiao unconsciously clenched her fists, and her chest heaved violently with anger!

She stood up and looked intently at Huang Banxian. "We're going to the police station. Tell the police officers what you just told us."

"Ah—" Huang Banxian's mouth dropped open, and he looked at Huo Beixiao with difficulty, "You didn't say anything about me going to see the police, to tell the police, I..."
