So that's when it happened.
She was kidnapped by four people who stole the King's Path, but she called out Ye Buqi's name and was rescued by Sister Ye.
It was a pity that she still didn't get to see Ye Buqi that time.
"Was Sister Ye not injured at the time?"
"Huh?" Iris was taken aback.
He then shook his head: "No, of course not. How could the guild leader be injured? Besides, we've all arrived, haven't we?"
"That's good."
Hua Changle pulled up the iris and looked at Wei Liang: "Is this Mr. Wei from Tianji Tower?"
Wei Liang, who had been silent and giving the two space to speak, finally stepped forward, bowed slightly, and adopted a very respectful attitude:
"Miss Chang Le, hello, I am Wei Liang from Tianji Tower."
Wei Liang said:
"Originally, it should have been my young master Chenxi who came to greet you personally. However, considering that Chairman Ye instructed you not to make a fuss, he sent me here instead."
"Afterwards, if you need anything from Tianji Tower, please don't hesitate to give the order; however, if it's something that needs to be done discreetly, Sister Iris is more suitable than me."
Iris immediately replied, "If you need to get things done, I'll accompany you. If you have any trouble to deal with, find Wei Liang."
Hua Changle looked at the two of them, feeling even more confident: "Thank you both for your help."
Wei Liang and Iris exchanged a glance and said, "This is what Chairman Ye ordered, so it's only right."
"Then I must thank Sister Ye properly."
Hua Changle smiled as he spoke, but the smiles of the two people opposite him did not seem very natural.
Wei Liang coughed lightly, ending the pleasantries: "Miss Chang Le, you should know that Tianji Tower is well-informed. Do you need any information? I will do my best to provide it."
Hua Changle then asked Mang Ge and Luo Zi, and added, "You don't need to use honorifics for me. If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, you can just call me by my name."
"Then I, Wei, will respectfully comply."
"Chang Le".
"Chang Le, you can just call me by my name."
The three then sat down, and Wei Liang pulled up two documents:
“I know this ‘mule’. There are records of him in the building. He’s not a big name among the Eight Kings, but many people in the neighborhood know him.”
"Cold Noodles Street, Affordable Department Stores"
Wei Liang pointed to a storefront in a picture: "According to our information, this should be one of Mule's lodgings and one of the places where he handed over his business."
On the surface, this is a supermarket, but it also has shady businesses operating behind the scenes.
Hua Changle asked in detail, "How so?"
"It's like a small black market. Some items that are explicitly prohibited from being traded by private individuals in the market can be found through him."
"For example, secret artifacts, burial objects, or even weapons that are prohibited from circulation on the market."
Hua Changle asked in bewilderment, "This mule is just a peripheral figure of the Eighth Prince, yet he has such connections?"
Wei Liang said, "There are also doubts in the building about this, but upon closer investigation, the clues end at the Jackal Gang."
We can only conclude that the mule is backed by members of the Jackal Gang, but we are still unsure of who exactly.
Hua Changle fell into deep thought.
What she really wanted to ask was, how could a mule possibly have the ability to sell the "goods" provided by She Jiameng to Speymagau?
If it was done by the Jackal Gang behind the mule, wouldn't that contradict the Jackal Gang's legendary "strict rules"?
Is the Jackal Gang using a false reputation?
Or is there a problem within the Jackal Gang, with someone using the gang as cover to secretly conduct illicit business?
With this in mind, Hua Changle has decided to go to Liangmian Street tomorrow.
Liangmian Street is not only known for its mule tracks, but it is also the territory of the Jackal Gang.
Finally, Hua Changle sent a few more photos to Wei Liang: "Wei Liang, could you please check if there's any trace of the girls in these photos? Even the whereabouts of their bodies."
The photo shows Yue Ningchu, Sun Jia, and others.
Wei Liang nodded in agreement.
Hua Changle then instructed, "Wei Liang, I'm telling you, go and investigate, do you understand?"
Wei Liang was taken aback, then said, "I understand. I will investigate personally and will not entrust the task to others, nor will I let anyone else see these photos."
The original poster and Chenxi instructed me that I would be under the complete command of Miss during this period.
Hua Changle smiled and said, "Mr. Wei makes me feel at ease."
"I'm going out for a stroll tomorrow. Wei Liang, if you have something to do, just have Iris come with me."
Wei Liang and Iris had no objections.
After confirming that there was nothing else, Wei Liang prepared to leave the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau. Given his status, it wouldn't be easy to explain why he stayed there for too long.
The irises, however, remained.
At this moment, Hua Qingyun arrived.
"Hello, Mr. Hua, I am Wei Liang from Tianji Tower." Wei Liang greeted him politely.
Hua Qingyun shook hands with him, her gaze falling on the unfamiliar black-haired woman.
Iris crossed her arms, making no move to reach out.
He glanced at him lazily, let out a snicker that was hard to decipher, and then looked away.
He didn't give Hua Qingyun even a glance or the slightest bit of face.
"Iris? The 'Purple War God' of the Dragon Scale Society, I've long admired your name, but I never expected to meet you today."
Hua Qingyun's expression was unreadable; she greeted him politely.
"Oh!"
Iris sneered, her tone sharp: "If you had seen this earlier, you wouldn't be alive today."
Hua Qingyun's polite smile faded: "Miss is joking."
Hua Changle noticed the tension between the two and pondered to himself.
Hua Qingyun completely trusted Ye Buqi to protect her, but Ye Buqi's confidant was rude to Hua Qingyun, and Hua Qingyun did not get angry at being treated like this.
This shows that...
Ye Buqi offered her extraordinary protection;
The Hua family and Ye Buqi have a grudge against each other;
This grudge is most likely due to the Hua family feeling guilty towards Ye Buqi.
Hua Changle could only see these things, and could not proceed further.
Fortunately, Hua Qingyun stopped the topic in time, preventing the atmosphere from becoming completely awkward.
Wei Liang took his leave, and Iris sat on the sofa behind Hua Changle, one hand resting on the back of the wheelchair, looking domineering and protective.
Hua Qingyun ignored her and simply told Hua Changle, "Tomorrow, Jiang Xuan will bring Xiao Si with you, and Jiang Yuan will bring the others with me."
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yuan were the only two level-eight experts among the eight bodyguards they brought.
Hua Changle had no objection, and then Hua Changle took Iris to the room that had been arranged for her, which was next to her own room.
Once inside the room, Iris said she had something to say to her and then closed the door.
Iris asked, "If you're going to Liangmian Street tomorrow, are you planning to take a detour? Or will you use your clone to shake off the people chasing you?"
Hua Changle understood what she meant.
Her question was whether she should take a leisurely stroll under the guise of visiting Liangmian Street, or have the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau and bodyguards distract the pursuers and secretly proceed there.
Hua Changle asked her opinion with great interest: "What do you think?"
Iris puffed out her cheeks: "The latter is more likely to attract attention. You're new here, so the former is better, but..."
Hua Changle realized something: "But you want to act alone with me? You don't want Jiang Xuan and the others to come along?"
