Chapter 2975 What is the "path"
Hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Tan Boyun's face.
He said, "Don't worry about that, boss. Last night, when Brother Zheng had his men set fire to the Gaosheng Inn, I sent some extra men to the vicinity of the Gaosheng Inn. They found traces of the man surnamed Huang and his men."
"What?"
Lu Taining was startled: "Did you find out?"
Zheng Qun, who was standing by, immediately said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had discovered us last night, then today—"
"Just what?"
Tan Boyun glanced at him coldly and said, "If we kill that Huang, will the grain fall into our hands now? If you really can find the grain, even if you don't kill that Huang, the grain should be in our Hengsheng Bank!"
Zheng Qun was stunned by these words and his face turned red immediately.
Lu Taining no longer wanted to pay attention to this person, but when he turned back to look at Tan Boyun, he said solemnly, "Why did you send someone else?"
Tan Boyun said, "Because, from the beginning, I didn't agree to attack them."
“…”
"As for the reason—this current predicament is the reason."
“…”
"However, I discovered that they were not burned to death, and were actually taken away by someone."
"Took them away? Then where are they now?"
"Don't worry, boss. They are still in Xiajiang Town. However, if you still listen to Brother Zheng and want to take action against them, then that place is probably not something we can easily touch."
Lu Taining frowned.
Although he suffered a loss due to his reckless behavior this time, after all, they were originally bandits. Although they have transformed into businessmen, the entire Xiajiang Town is like a piece of meat under the claws of a tiger to them. It is not a question of whether they can eat it, but whether they want to eat it.
But now, Tan Boyun actually said that there were things in Xiajiang Town that they could not touch.
Then he sneered and said, "Where and who? Tell me."
Tan Boyun leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Lu Taining's expression changed suddenly.
He looked at Tan Boyun with a complicated expression and said, "Are you sure it's really her?"
Tan Boyun said, "I sent people to follow that Huang all the way to his mansion. It's said that Taoist Master Miaoming has close ties with high-ranking officials and even has considerable influence in the capital. Huang is just a businessman, so we can just use force against him; but we can't just touch this person."
A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Taining's face.
He said, "Of course, of course I can't move."
“…”
"Not only can't move, but also—there's no need to move."
"What?"
Tan Boyun was stunned.
In fact, everyone in Xiajiang Town knows that the Taoist priest Miaoming, who is practicing in a nearby Taoist temple, has a profound background and is closely connected with the dignitaries in the capital. Although no one has figured out her background yet, everyone knows that this person is not easy to mess with.
It was precisely because of this that Tan Boyun became determined to resolve the issue through negotiation rather than through fighting.
Unexpectedly, Lu Taining's attitude changed completely after hearing the name of Taoist Miaoming.
You can’t move, of course you can’t move.
But, no need to move...what does that mean?
Tan Boyun said in surprise: "Shopkeeper, you mean——"
Lu Taining glanced at him, still with an enigmatic smile on his face, and said, "You don't need to know, but, Old Tan, you've done a great deed this time."
As he said this, he patted Tan Boyun on the shoulder.
Zheng Qun, who was standing by, had originally hoped to find the whereabouts of the wealthy businessman surnamed Huang and then persuade Lu Taining to take action. However, seeing his attitude, he became anxious: "Boss, are you really going to listen to him?"
Lu Taining raised his eyebrows: "What else?"
“…”
"Old Tan is right. That Huang is a businessman. Who wouldn't want to be without profit?"
“…”
"As long as we show our sincerity, we won't be afraid of not getting that batch of goods."
Zheng Qun had nothing to say.
Tan Boyun was also extremely delighted. He hadn't expected that he had actually convinced him. He hurriedly said, "Then, Boss, should we go find that Mr. Huang next?"
Once he saw that the words made sense, he even changed his address.
Lu Taining didn't mind. A sneer flashed in his eyes as he said, "Of course, of course we have to go find him. Old Tan, go to the best restaurant in town, Jiuqu Restaurant, this afternoon and book the second floor. Then, host a banquet for Mr. Huang."
Tan Boyun was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As soon as he turned around, Lu Taining stopped him and said, "It's not over yet. We've offended them this time. I'm afraid they won't even come if we just treat them to a drink. We need to find another guest."
"Accompanying guests?"
Tan Boyun thought about it and agreed.
When ordinary people entertain guests, if the guest is a stranger, in order to avoid awkward silence at the banquet, they will invite someone who is good at socializing or has contacts with both parties as the guest. However, it seems that neither Hang Seng Bank nor Mr. Huang know anyone. As for inviting someone who is good at socializing, they don't know who to invite.
So he asked, "Boss, who are we looking for?"
Lu Taining smiled at him.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.
After what happened yesterday, Nan Yan has been wanting to find out the secret in Xu Miaoming's backyard, but Zhu Feng has been "watching" her, making her feel restrained; under normal circumstances, the agile Ran Xiaoyu might be able to help, but now, her health is not very good and she can't be the same as before.
Nan Yan could only sit in the room depressed.
After lunch, Zhu Feng was about to take a rest when Xiao Shunzi came running in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The moment he spoke, his voice was a little anxious, obviously something had happened. Zhu Feng sat on the edge of the couch and raised his head: "What is it?"
Xiao Shunzi walked in, bowed to them, and then presented a visiting card with both hands.
Said: "Your Majesty, this was just delivered by someone from Hengsheng Bank."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "For me?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "It's for Mr. Huang."
"oh."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows again and reached out to take it. Upon hearing this, Nan Yan, who was standing beside him, also hurried over.
She didn't dare to look and just stared at Zhu Feng nervously.
The people from Hang Seng Bank sent a visiting card, which means that they knew they were not dead and that the food could not be delivered to them, so they had to find another way.
I don’t know what this “path” is.
