Chapter 697 As expected
Wan Lao Si also wanted to go with them, but Jia Yanbing said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to go. You are needed to stay in the shop in the city. You must be vigilant recently. I suspect this is a series of traps. The purpose is to completely ruin your family's business. The other party may not just do bad things to your shop."
Wan Lao Si was stunned. "No way? Our family has never made enemies with anyone. Who on earth would do this to our family?"
"I'm just guessing, but it won't be wrong to be more vigilant."
As soon as Jia Yanbing finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Pa pa"
Everyone in the room looked towards the door at the same time.
"Who is it? The shop is closed. We are not open today."
Wan Laosi raised his voice impatiently.
"Boss, I'm a clerk from Qinping County. Something happened in our shop."
Wan Lao Si almost lost his balance, but was quickly caught by Wan Lao Er.
"Fourth brother, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go open the door."
Wan Laosi felt that his soul had returned to heaven at this moment.
Wan Laoer opened the door and saw a waiter standing outside, his face also covered in sweat.
When the boy saw Wan Lao Er, he thought it was Wan Lao Si.
"Boss, someone has died from eating the potato flour in our shop. The shop has been smashed and the owner has been beaten up by them."
Wan Laoer shuddered and his scalp felt numb. What Mr. Jia said was right. His back felt cold at this moment, and he was terrified in his heart. Who on earth wanted to mess with their family?
"Come in first."
Wan Laoer called the waiter in. Seeing a room full of people, the waiter wiped his sweat and stood aside with his head down.
"Mr. Jia, you're right. Someone has died in the Qinping County branch. What should we do?"
Jia Yanbing frowned.
"How many stores do you have in total?" Jia Yanbing asked as he paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
"Our prefecture has seven counties under its jurisdiction. We have branches in each county, and with the three in the prefecture, there are ten in total."
Wan Laosi quickly replied.
Jia Yanbing pondered for a moment before saying, "If my guess is correct, the other party should have started planning long ago, but it broke out at this critical moment. It seems that they know that your family is leaving the border for Dezhou and will not be able to return in the short term. If it weren't for something at home that delayed you, Brother Wan, you should have been inside the border by now. It seems that the other party is very familiar with the Wan family."
"Very familiar? Could it be that the crime was committed by someone you know?" Wan Laoer asked immediately.
Jia Yanbing nodded, "We can't rule out this possibility. There is another possibility. The other party has been keeping an eye on your family for a long time. You are not on guard, and the other party is very secretive in getting information. It seems that this is a carefully planned situation."
Wan Laoer sat down on the chair.
"But now we don't even know who the other party is. Even if this is a trap, how can we break it?" Wan Lao Er felt like a headless fly.
Then everyone heard Jia Yanbing say: "I just hope that things won't get worse. Otherwise, even if we solve this problem, the Wan family's business will plummet. Reputation is accumulated over time. It's like not getting the mutton, but getting into trouble."
Everyone was in a bad mood at this time.
"Mr. Jia, maybe I can help a little." Tong Yan, who was sitting next to him, spoke slowly.
Everyone looked at Tong Yan. There was a flash of deep expectation in the eyes of Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao Er, while Jia Yanbing had a questioning look in his eyes.
"Although I am not as good at business as my sister, it seems that my family also has many shops at the border of your Daqi. It is possible that I can find out some information. I just need Fubao's jade token to use it."
Tong Yan looked at Fu Bao with a smile.
Fubao quickly took the jade pendant off his neck.
Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Si were a little disappointed when they heard this.
This shop owned by the same family is also a business, what information can be found out? However, the two of them still thanked him.
But Jia Yanbing needs to think more deeply.
The Tong family must have other means to make their business in Daqi. Maybe there is a special organization for selling intelligence. Otherwise, why would the Tong family be so big? But Tong Yan's words were more tactful. After all, she is still a Vietnamese. If we say it clearly, our family has an intelligence agency in your Daqi, wouldn't that be stupid?
"Miss Tong, thank you for your help." After thinking it over, Jia Yanbing felt that there might be a turning point in this matter.
Tong Yan nodded and prepared to leave with Ali.
"By the way, with such a big incident at home, we definitely won't be able to get to Texas on time. I don't think this shop can accommodate so many people. Why don't you all live in Fubao's new house? It's a good opportunity to get acquainted with the place. I'm not familiar with this place, but Fubao remembers the address. I'll let Fubao take you there to settle down later."
Tong Yan walked to the door, suddenly turned back and said something, then left.
Fubao immediately stepped forward and told Wan Laosi the address.
"Uncle, I know the place. I'll take you there."
Wan Lao Si waved his hand and said, "Fubao, take your grandmother and the others first. Fourth uncle is not going anywhere. I want to see who can get his hands on my shop. I will wait here. Just like Mr. Jia said, I will stay here."
Fubao felt that what Wan Laosi said made sense, so she took the others to the house that Tongrui had bought for her.
This house is a large one with five courtyards and east and west courtyards. It is very grand and has dozens of servants and several managers.
Because the master is away all year round, the servants and the steward are a bit lazy.
When Fubao brought everyone here, the door was already closed.
Wan Laoer knocked on the door and saw the doorman looking sleepy.
"Who is it?"
"Your master is here." Wan Laoer said unhappily.
The gatekeeper rubbed his eyes quickly and saw a tiny kid standing at the gate.
"This house is mine. This is the title deed. My aunt bought it for me."
There was no need for the servant to look at the house deed. Tongrui had already distributed Fubao's portrait among the servants.
Tong Rui requires everyone to remember their master's appearance.
Plus, Fubao is good-looking and easy to remember.
At this moment, the servant saw Fubao's appearance clearly and quickly opened the door.
"Young lady, please come in."
Because it was already dark, there were no lights in the yards. It was pitch black and every yard was empty.
The servant soon called the housekeeper.
The yard suddenly became busy.
The Wan family had no intention of settling down. How could they possibly sleep when such a big thing happened at home?
Everyone gathered in the front hall to discuss countermeasures.
"Aunt, you guys settle down first. I'll take Brother Wan Er and Fu Bao to the shop. We won't be back for a few days. We'll leave the city early tomorrow morning."
Jia Yanbing has already thought of some countermeasures. Now they are in a very passive situation. He doesn't like this passive feeling. He must turn passivity into initiative. Now he not only has to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but also makes Wanjia's potato flour business more famous and takes advantage of the situation to create momentum.
