He also knew that handing this matter over to Mu Hanyan was the best choice. After all, he had a grandfather who was the head of the Zong family, a father who was the lord of Black Stone City, and behind him was the huge Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
More importantly, he also possessed the mysterious art of astrology. Of course, only Mu Hanyan himself knew whether he had the ability to divination, while everyone else believed it without a doubt.
Mu Hanyan felt relieved when she saw that Zirong had regained her composure.
"Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce first." Mu Hanyan said goodbye to the old man briefly and rushed to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce first.
Although Zirong is still rational now, this is only temporary. If something happens to Yu Qingwan, even Mu Hanyan doesn't know what Zirong will do in grief and anger. Therefore, Yu Qingwan must be found as soon as possible.
Until the figures of Mu Hanyan and others disappeared at the end of the alley, the vendors were reluctant to take away their grateful gazes. These tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, even if divided equally, would be a considerable fortune for them.
No one had expected that He Qingwei and his gang of little playboys would actually turn a disaster into a blessing and make a fortune. This big playboy Mu didn't seem so scary after all.
Just as the vendors were feeling deeply moved, Mu Hanyan and his party had already arrived at the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
Just as I was about to enter the door, I saw a car jogging out.
"Carriage, prepare the carriage quickly." The driver quickly gave orders to the servants while running.
"Chairman Che, what happened?" Seeing Che Xiang's anxious look, Mu Hanyan thought something big had happened.
"Young Master, you're here. It's just right. I was just about to see you. It's great that you're here." Che Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily, then handed a secret letter to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan opened the secret letter and took a closer look, and her frown relaxed slightly.
"Let's go, let's talk inside first." Mu Hanyan put away the secret letter and entered the Chamber of Commerce.
"Zirong, you can take a look too." Mu Hanyan handed the secret letter to Zirong.
After reading the content, Zirong looked a little more relaxed.
The letter came from Black Stone City. Mu Ruian had already known about Yu Qingwan's disappearance and sent people from the City Lord's Mansion to search for her everywhere. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, which received the news, also sent a large number of people under Mu Nan's orders. At the same time, chambers of commerce from all over the country that had cooperated with the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce also came to lend a hand after receiving the news.
After more than ten days, they finally got some news. It was said that someone had seen Yu Qingwan in a speeding carriage, and the carriage was heading towards the capital.
However, Black Stone City is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, with high mountains and long roads. In the meantime, the carriage has to pass through Nanxi, Lin'an, and Dongyun counties, with countless high mountains and steep cliffs. Therefore, it is not certain that the carriage is heading to the capital. It may stop in Nanxi County, Lin'an County or somewhere in Dongyun Territory.
But no matter what, knowing that Yu Qingwan's life was not in danger, Mu Hanyan, Zirong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, this time it is all thanks to the City Lord and Young Master Nan for their help. Even if I die, I will never be able to repay this kindness." Zirong said with a sob.
Hua Yue, Jiang Yuzhe, and the others also sighed inwardly. They hadn't expected Mu Ruian and Mu Nan to go to such lengths for Zirong's sake. After all, Zirong was merely Mu Hanyan's bodyguard, completely insignificant to them. They were doing this solely because of Mu Hanyan.
How lucky I am to be able to follow Mu Hanyan.
"Remember what I said, we are friends and companions." Mu Hanyan patted Zirong's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Yeah." Zirong nodded, and a tear finally welled up in her eyes.
Just for everything the Mu family has done, just for Mu Hanyan's words, even if Zirong died immediately, he would never complain.
"You should stay in the Chamber of Commerce these days so that you can get any news as soon as possible." Mu Hanyan said to Zirong.
Black Stone City is too far away from the capital. Even if a letter is delivered by flying eagle, it will take several days to arrive. The secret letter just now was delivered five days ago. Mu Hanyan could understand Zirong's feeling that every day was a year long, and knew that only by letting him stay in the Chamber of Commerce could he feel a little at ease.
"Thank you, sir." Zirong said gratefully without any pretense.
Just then, a guard came hurriedly and handed a secret letter to Che Xiang.
"There's news again." After taking a look at the seal on the outside of the mailbox, Che Xiang said happily and handed the mailbox to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan opened the mailbox and couldn't wait to spread out the letter. Zirong and others also hurried over.
The letter was short, and several people finished reading its contents quickly. Their expressions were mixed with joy and sorrow, as well as a bit of anger.
This secret letter didn't come from Black Stone City, but from the Wu family in Nanxi County. Upon receiving Mu Nan's request for help, Wu Qiyun didn't hesitate at all and immediately gathered people to search for Yu Qingwan's whereabouts.
Ever since the trial in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, the Qu family has been severely damaged. The Wu family took the opportunity to rise. Now they have surpassed the Qu family and become the number one family in Nanxi County. Naturally, their actions are much more effective than the branch of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce in Nanxi County.
It only took Wu Qiyun two days to find out that Yu Qingwan was abducted into Lin'an County, and the person who abducted her was very powerful and was likely from a noble family.
However, these things were not witnessed by anyone in the Wu family, so Wu Qiyun was not sure.
Fearing that the news would delay transmission to Black Stone City and then to the capital, Wu Qiyun sent someone to inform Mu Ruian and Mu Nan, while also delivering the letter directly to the Wu Family Chamber of Commerce in the capital, which then forwarded it to the carriage. At the same time, he also sent Wu family members to Lin'an County to continue tracking Yu Qingwan's whereabouts.
But at the end of the letter, Wu Qiyun mentioned that Lin'an County was not the territory of the Wu family, and several local wealthy families even had some conflicts with the Wu family, so the people of the Wu family would have a hard time moving forward in Lin'an County, and it would be difficult for them to gain anything.
"Well, let's go to Lin'an County right away." After reading Wu Qiyun's letter, Mu Hanyan made a decision immediately.
Not only did the Wu family have difficulty moving in Lin'an County, but as far as Mu Hanyan knew, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was also facing obstacles everywhere in Lin'an County. They didn't even have a decent branch and didn't have much manpower. It was definitely impossible to rely on them.
"Sir, we should consider this matter carefully." Che Xiang shook his head and said, "Lin'an County is different from other counties in Anyun. Since ancient times, it has had many powerful noble families. The current royal family originated from the Lin'an noble family, and three of the eight great families in the capital also originated from Lin'an.
Although the Lin'an gentry may not seem as powerful as they once were, their roots remain, and they maintain close ties with the major families in the capital, and even the imperial family."
