Chapter 17 Turned out to be a craftsman
"It's Mr. Hu's mistress! That woman wanted to get into the Hu family, but Mrs. Hu's family is so powerful, and Mr. Hu doesn't want a divorce. The mistress got desperate and threatened that she had leverage over the Hu family's company!"
"Isn't this a big deal? Otherwise, why not let Mr. Hu take action personally?"
"Who knows?! Anyway, there's no news about the person now. It doesn't matter whether there's evidence or not, or how big it is!"
"Mr. Hu is so old, and he still does such immoral things. No wonder he is possessed by evil spirits!"
"Keep your voice down! I heard that Mr. Hu's hands weren't clean when he started out. People like him don't believe in retribution!"
The ladies had not been talking for long when they saw the steward of the manor coming over and fell silent.
Jiang Yunyao was listening with great interest when she suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were looking in their direction and realized that the manager was walking towards them.
The steward stood in front of the two men, bowed slightly, and was respectful.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you. Our Madam Hu is your fan. When she heard that you were visiting our manor, she asked me to invite you over for a visit."
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Yixing next to him, "Mrs. Hu said that she hasn't seen Young Master Xie for a long time and wants to meet him."
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
They were not familiar with Mrs. Hu, so why would she invite them alone?
Jiang Yunyao thought of a possibility. She gave Xie Yixing a look and then said to the steward, "Thank you for leading the way."
The steward nodded and said, "You're welcome."
Jiang and Xie turned off the microphone and followed the manager to the upper floor of the hall.
The steward arranged Xie Yixing in a room and then took Jiang Yunyao to another room.
Jiang Yunyao knocked on the door and heard someone say "Come in", so she pushed the door open and went in.
When she saw the cool girl on the sofa, she finally confirmed her guess.
This invitation did not come from Mrs. Hu, but from Mu Jin, who was using Mrs. Hu as her name!
Jiang Yunyao quickly closed the door, walked over quickly, and said happily, "Xiao Jin! How did you know I was here?!"
The girl was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Her black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. Her facial features were delicate and a little aggressive.
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes are like bright obsidian. When they look at others, they are so stunning that you don't want to look away.
Mu Jin stood up and took two steps forward.
She looked at Jiang Yunyao with a soft look in her eyes, but when she thought about what she was going to say next, her expression became serious again, "That's why I called you here."
Jiang Yunyao was stunned when she heard this. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Mu Jin asked her to sit down and then briefly explained the matter.
"Someone wants to harm you, but I can't figure out their identity. I can only call you over and tell you about this matter so that you can be more careful."
Xiao Jin and Master's calculation abilities are on par. If even Xiao Jin can't figure it out...
Jiang Yunyao suppressed her inner surprise and agreed easily, "Okay!"
There's nothing to be afraid of. We can just fight whatever comes our way! There's always a way to deal with it!
Mu Jin recounted the details of what happened.
"That person followed someone else's instructions and wanted to sow discord between the Fang family and you. I checked, and the number on the other end of the phone is invalid. I can't figure it out. I think the other party is deliberately hiding his identity."
The Fang family is about to marry into the Ji family, and the Ji family has an agency company. If Fang Anyue really marries into the Ji family, given the grudge they have today, she might make things difficult for Yao.
Jiang Yunyao immediately thought of the two people in the bathroom. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is that person wearing a purple dress?"
Mu Jin: "Yeah."
Jiang Yunyao pondered deeply.
No wonder she felt that the girl in purple clothes was not right at that time. She thought it was her illusion, but she didn't expect that there was really something wrong with her!
Mu Jin picked up her gray cloth bag, took out two amulets from it and handed them to Jiang Yunyao.
"Your career has been a bit turbulent recently, and you and him might be in danger. Take these two amulets. Although they can't protect you from the villains in your life, they can keep you safe at critical moments."
In the girl's hands were two thumb-sized wooden blocks with densely packed runes painted on them. One end of the wooden block was tied with a red rope, which could be worn on the hands or around the neck.
Jiang Yunyao accepted the amulet and said, "Speaking of this, I want to ask you something. Are you here today to see Mr. Hu?"
If Mr. Hu was really a heinous criminal, Xiao Jin would never come here!
Unless there is another reason!
When Mu Jin heard her mention Mr. Hu, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Given all the injustices he's committed in his life, his death is not a pity. However, this matter is indeed strange. Since I've accepted the mission from the association, I can't just ignore it."
Jiang Yunyao reminded her, "If someone is behind this, they will definitely not stop here. You must take precautions in advance!"
Mu Jin nodded. "You reminded me. When I get back, I'll go to the association to check the files to see if there are any similar incidents."
Jiang Yunyao almost couldn't hold it in.
Files...Why didn't she suspect before that Xiao Jin was from ancient times!
Both of them had their own things to do and couldn't chat for too long. When they were about to part, Mu Jin suddenly called out to Jiang Yunyao.
"Yao, don't go back to Qingfeng Temple recently. It's not peaceful these days."
Jiang Yunyao knew they would be fine, but she still felt nervous, "Do Master and Xiao Nuo know?"
"I've already sent someone to deliver the letter," Mu Jin paused for a moment before reassuring him, "Don't worry, even if it's Junior Sister, I can handle it easily. I'm just worried about you."
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
I'm sorry, it's her, a poor student, who is holding us back!
But she really couldn't learn those metaphysical knowledge! Not to mention understanding it, she couldn't even remember it by rote!
Jiang Yunyao returned to the room where Xie Yixing was and found that this guy was walking back and forth in the room, looking very anxious.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
When Xie Yixing heard her voice, he felt relieved, but then became nervous again.
"Jiang Yunyao, are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"
Jiang Yunyao felt baffled. "What could possibly happen to me? Don't get me wrong, it's not Madam Hu who wants to see me, it's Xiao Jin!"
As she spoke, she took out the amulet and gave one to Xie Yixing, "This is from Xiaojin."
When Xie Yixing saw her wearing the small piece of wood around her neck, he happily put it on too.
After putting it on, he picked it up and looked at it from left to right. "What kind of pattern is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
Forgot, this guy doesn’t know Xiao Jin’s identity.
Jiang Yunyao made up a story, "This is an ancient pattern that has been passed down for thousands of years. Ordinary people have never seen it. It's a relatively precious one!"
Runes have indeed been around for thousands of years!
I don’t know what Xie Yixing thought of, but he suddenly realized, “So Xiao Jin is a craftsman!”
Jiang Yunyao: "...If you understand it this way, it's not wrong!"
The two didn't stay upstairs for too long because the party was about to begin.
When going downstairs, Jiang Yunyao received a call from her agent Sister Man.
