Shan Shengshuo looked puzzled. Guo Zhen secretly observed him and whispered, "Not only that, Jiang Ci's background information has been changed and is different from what I found out before."
Shan Shengshuo certainly knew about Jiang Ci's background.
He not only knew that Jiang Ci was an educated youth in Shanding Brigade, but also knew where her hometown was.
When Shan Shengshuo brings someone into his territory, he will naturally investigate their background.
But he never expected that Jiang porcelain would be related to the imperial seal!
"You keep mentioning Jiang Ci in your conversation. If you know anything else, just say it directly." Shan Shengshuo was too lazy to beat around the bush.
Guo Zhen took a breath. "Uncle Shan, I think Jiang Ci probably knows where the imperial seal came from, and she may also know Huang Zhiyuan's identity. She knew Xiao Lian's identity from the very beginning, and she deliberately approached Xiao Lian to deal with the Shan family."
Dan Shengshuo's face was extremely pale.
"Uncle Shan, we need to take down the Jiang family as soon as possible before things get too bad to turn around, or it will really be too late."
Like Guo Zhen, Shan Shengshuo was an exceptionally suspicious person.
No matter how well Jiang Ci had behaved in front of him before, Shan Shengshuo would believe it 300% if anyone said that Jiang Ci might be detrimental to him.
"It's too late." Shan Shengshuo walked quickly. "Jiang Ci took two boxes of my antiques with her when she went abroad this time!"
"The cargo ship that was going abroad departed from Hong Kong at 10:00 this morning!"
Guo Zhen felt a slight tremor in his heart.
No wonder Shan Shengshuo wanted to win over Jiang Ci.
That's what he was planning.
Shan Shengshuo quickly returned to his study and started making phone calls.
Hong Kong, Lu's residence.
"Sir, there is a phone call from Beijing."
Mr. Lu was still awake, wearing silk pajamas, sitting by the semi-circular window reading the newspaper.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu raised his hand and took the microphone from the maid.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Lu, it's me."
Mr. Lu closed the newspaper in his hand and glanced at the maid.
The other person tactfully left the bedroom.
Mr. Lu leaned back, his tone calm, "Uncle Shan, why are you calling me so late? Has something happened?"
Dan Shengshuo suppressed his emotions and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if the departure from the port went smoothly today?"
Mr. Lu chuckled softly and said casually, "Uncle is worried about that shipment, isn't he?"
"Don't worry, I personally oversaw the loading of the goods onto the cargo ship, there won't be any problems."
Shan Shengshuo naturally believed Mr. Lu, and was relieved to hear him say that. "Of course I believe you, Xiao Lu. With your knowledge, is there anyone among the personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were transporting the goods this time who seems a bit off?"
Mr. Lu raised an eyebrow without changing his expression, placing his hand on his slightly lame leg. "The people sent this time are all your trusted confidants, Uncle. What could be wrong? Everything is normal."
"Uncle, what happened?" Mr. Lu asked. "You know, I take risks in this business. I also want to do business in China, and I don't want to be kicked out of the business for some reason."
"You said it yourself, the people who go are all my trusted confidants, so there's no risk whatsoever. Don't worry." Shan Shengshuo didn't reveal much to Mr. Lu, his voice relaxed on the phone, "I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."
"Okay, I believe you."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the call ended.
Dan Shengshuo's expression was cold. "The goods have already been loaded onto the ship. If Jiang Ci is really that undercover agent, then we won't let her make it to Y country alive."
Guo Zhen looked at Shan Shengshuo without saying a word.
Dan Shengshuo paced back and forth a few steps. "Ships at sea can't receive phone calls, but they can send telegrams. Send a telegram to Commander Xu as soon as possible and tell him to find a way to throw Jiang Ci into the sea."
Guo Zhen paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
“And those people left at Jiang Ci’s house, we can’t let them go.” Shan Shengshuo turned to Guo Zhen and said, “Guo Zhen, these things are a piece of cake for you, you can handle them, right?”
Guo Zhen gave a forced smile. "Of course, I'll have someone go in and search the place to see if there are any clues."
"good."
Mr. Lu looked at the phone that had already been hung up, got up and put the receiver back in its place. He stood there for a while before quickly dialing another number.
Mr. Lu said respectfully, "Sir, it is I."
...
Jiang Ci has been away from home lately, and the atmosphere at the Zhou family home hasn't been as lively.
Zhou Mingli wasn't an overly outgoing or cheerful person. At home, he always just echoed Jiang Ci's words and only brought up topics to chat about when there was something to talk about.
Jiang Ci wasn't particularly noticeable when she was home, but after she left for almost a week, the atmosphere at home was noticeably less cheerful.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao also missed their mother very much, and would often come to Zhou Mingli to ask, "Dad, when is Mom coming back?"
"Dad, is Mom back?"
Zhou Mingli's answer to them was always, "Soon."
Then they were forced to go back to their rooms to sleep, and Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were not allowed to run around outside.
Huang Zheyue held the book and read it for a long time, then looked at her own book and sighed.
Aunt Jiang isn't home, so there's no one to tutor him.
So Huang Zheyue also asked Zhou Mingli, "Uncle Zhou, when will Aunt Jiang be back?"
Zhou Mingli looked at him silently and said in the same tone he used when dealing with Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, "It'll be soon."
"It's one thing to say that to a child, but why use this to brush me off?" Huang Zheyue muttered. "Aunt Jiang is abroad; won't she be back in ten days or half a month?"
"You know that, yet you still ask me?" Zhou Mingli walked out the door and washed Jiang Ci's towel again. Even if you don't use it, you should wash it often, otherwise it will smell musty when Jiang Ci comes back.
