Boss Wang finally understood. The more he hated Mei Bai just now, the more grateful he was now. He quickly cried out, "Princess, I was confused. This jade pendant was bought from Liu Family Village. Please spare my life, Princess."
"Liu Family Village?" Yan Shujin looked at Mei Bai and asked, "What's that?"
Mei Bai's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected this matter to involve Liu Family Village: "It's the village I mentioned to the princess, the one where women are in charge."
Yan Shujin had a bad feeling. Why did that female chieftain have Han Ning'an's personal jade pendant? Han Ning'an was so beautiful. Would she be forced to do things she didn't like if she ended up in such a mountain stronghold?
Most importantly, it's her Han Ning'an!
As Boss Wang watched Princess Yongfu's face grow increasingly grim, as if a storm was brewing, he couldn't help but tremble. Wasn't it said that the princess wouldn't hold a grudge? This was even more terrifying than before, as if he would be dragged out and executed at any moment.
Aunt Yu looked at Princess Yongfu with some worry. She also felt that things were not good. Her personal jade pendant had fallen into someone else's hands. Was Young Master Han still safe?
Sun Qiao's gaze drifted unfocused. The female chieftain, and Mei Bai had mentioned that she was only in her early twenties and unmarried. His eyes involuntarily drifted to the top of Princess Yongfu's head...
Princess Yongfu looked at Sun Qiao, about to discuss attacking Liu Family Village with him, when she noticed his gaze. She was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and jumped up in anger: "Guard Sun!"
These three words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
Sun Qiao quickly stood up straight, his face becoming even more stern as he felt guilty: "Princess, I'll go and raid Boss Wang's house right now."
Boss Wang: "..."
"No, Princess, please listen to me! I can lead the way! I can lure the people from Liu Family Village down here!" Boss Wang quickly tried to prove his usefulness: "I can redeem myself through meritorious service, Princess, please spare my life!"
Yan Shujin's gaze shifted to Boss Wang: "Hmm?"
Mr. Wang quickly said, "Princess, they used the money from selling the jade pendant to buy some grain for me, and they agreed to come and pick it up tomorrow. I... I can lead the way for Guard Sun."
Yan Shujin narrowed her eyes and said, "You're still selling grain to them?"
Mr. Wang said, "Liujiazhai has taken in many homeless elderly people. I... I was just feeling sorry for them, so I sold them some old grain."
Yan Shujin said "Oh" and looked at Sun Qiao.
Sun Qiao said solemnly, "Princess, rest assured, I will definitely capture them all in one fell swoop."
Yan Shujin asked, "Who are the people who usually come to Liu Family Village to buy grain? Are they all just insignificant people?"
Although Yan Shujin felt that matters like buying grain should at least have someone in charge, she still wanted to ask around just in case and prepare for both possibilities.
Boss Wang wasn't sure either: "Sometimes Chief Liu comes in person, and sometimes it's just a minor manager from the village."
Yan Shujin said in a deep voice, "Never mind, arrest them first."
Mr. Wang asked cautiously, "Then...then I..."
"Pray that I can capture everyone in Liu Family Village," Yan Shujin said coldly. "Find what I want, or else..."
The remaining threats were left unsaid, but their meaning was clear.
Mr. Wang felt a deep bitterness in his heart: "Princess, perhaps Liu Family Village just happened to obtain your jewelry, or perhaps it wasn't..."
Actually, Mr. Wang wanted to say that as long as the princess didn't hold him accountable, he was willing to pay for another set of mutton-fat jade jewelry for her, but he didn't dare to say it. It's also thanks to Mr. Wang that he didn't say it.
Yan Shujin never wanted mutton-fat jade; she wanted someone who liked mutton-fat jade and was even more beautiful than mutton-fat jade: "Make proper arrangements."
Sun Qiao agreed and quickly led Boss Wang downstairs.
Just as Meibo was about to follow, she heard Princess Yongfu's voice.
Yan Shujin said, "Mr. Mei, I would like to ask about the location and specific details of Liu Family Village."
Meibo swallowed hard. He felt that Princess Yongfu looked even more dangerous today than she had a few days ago: "Liu Family Village rarely takes outsiders there, so I don't know the specifics."
Yan Shujin stared at Mei Bai and said, "Then Mr. Mei must know some people in Liu Family Village, right?"
Mabel's eyes flickered. What had he done wrong? Why was she suddenly exposing him? The princess had clearly guessed it a few days ago, but she hadn't said a word.
In reality, Mabel simply didn't realize that beneath the calm surface of a tiger whose territory had been invaded lay a heart full of anger.
Mei Bai lowered his head and said, "Yes, there is a gentleman in Liu Family Village who saved me back then."
Yan Shujin asked directly, "What is that gentleman's status in Liu Family Village?"
Mabel remained silent.
Yan Shujin narrowed her eyes and said, "Could the firearms, the fire-breathing oil, and the 'fierce oil' be related to this gentleman?"
Mei Bai was genuinely surprised this time and looked at Yan Shujin.
Yan Shujin was merely testing the waters; asking a casual question wouldn't have required much effort. Unexpectedly, she caught a big fish: "It seems Mr. Mei has many secrets. Without knowing these secrets, will Mr. Mei be able to protect his savior?"
Mabel's expression remained unchanged, but she pursed her lips tightly and after a long while said, "What does the princess want?"
Yan Shujin said directly, "I have no interest in your affairs. I only want Han Ning'an, and you'd better pray that Han Ning'an is safe and sound! Otherwise, I won't let a single member of Liu Family Village go!"
