Upon hearing this, Shang Yuantang took out a piece of paper with the golden pagoda pattern of Qin Li drawn on it.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, you've seen it?" Qin Li looked at the blueprint in surprise. "Tell me where it is?"
Shang Yuantang didn't know, and Qin Li didn't know yet, that he had been to that valley.
"I have interrogated those seven people. Qin Dashun and the others said that it was Chen Yinhua who brought them into the mountains.
They also said that they saw with their own eyes that Chen Yinhua brought out a bag of gold nuggets and a large golden pagoda from the mountain.
Later, I sent someone to bring Chen Yinhua in for questioning, but she denied anything. To this day, my people haven't found the whereabouts of the gold nugget and the golden pagoda."
After Shang Yuantang finished speaking, he was surprised again, "You don't seem to know about my trip to the mountain?"
"So, you were the one who blew up my valley?"
Qin Li grabbed Shang Yuantang by the collar and asked through gritted teeth.
His father and Song Che are keeping it a secret, probably because they are afraid that he will cause trouble for Shang Yuantang.
However, since the thing is in Shang Yuantang's hands, he must get half of it back no matter what.
"Get lost!"
Shang Yuantang pushed him away and said, "I didn't blow up your valley. It was the wild beasts in the mountains that dug the valley and caves into that state. My subordinates saw it with their own eyes and even brought back a dead black bear. If you don't believe me, I'll call them to confront you."
"Alright, even if you didn't blow up the valley, where did you put my pigs, sheep, rabbits, and more than ten boxes of treasures? And those dozens of bags of food, you have to return them to me."
Qin Li finished his words in a shameless manner, and glared at him sarcastically.
"You are a wealthy business owner, don't be so mean as to covet my little things."
Shang Yuantang laughed angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing in that valley!"
It's so funny that a businessman would care about the Lu family's junk.
Qin Li didn't believe him at all. After all, he was still in the valley on the third night before the accident.
"Tell me carefully, how did you get to the valley?"
Shang Yuantang did not hide anything from him and told him everything about how he received the report and went into the mountains to capture Qin Dashun and Shen Yinhua, including the results of his investigation.
The only thing he didn't tell him was what happened to him, Chen Tan. She once said that she was afraid that outsiders would know and tarnish her reputation, so he kept it a secret for her to avoid her brother scolding her.
Qin Li remained silent for a long time after listening to this. How did Chen Yinhua know about the valley, and how did she make his wolfhounds obedient?
A Tan always says that the Shen family's niece is abnormal. Could it be that their family is really colluding with some spies?
"Have you checked the Shen family's niece?"
Shang Yuantang nodded and said, "I checked and found that those things were indeed sent by her. She and her family personally admitted to picking up the bag.
It’s just that the old things in the Shen family are abnormal. Many of them are not from here, but only from Guangcheng.
My people asked the Shen family's "godniece", and she said that the things she gave to the Shen family were all collected from relatives and friends, so there is no way to investigate. "
"Then we should start with Shen Changwang and Hu Cuifen."
Qin Li looked horrified. His things were taken away by Shang Yuantang, and he considered himself unlucky.
He would never tolerate it if it was stolen by private individuals.
"I have expanded the scope of the investigation into the Shen family's "niece". You should stay out of it and don't go to the mountains. I can't protect you a second time."
Shang Yuantang stood up and patted his shoulder. Wen Ya's eyebrows were tinged with shyness and a bit of tentativeness.
"I'm taking your sister away. Don't worry, I will protect her and won't let her suffer any injustice. When the wedding date is set, I will tell you in advance."
"What sister? I only have one sister and no younger sister."
Qin Li looked at Shang Yuantang like a beast guarding its food.
Sure enough, he was not wrong. Shang Yuantang was thinking about his young wife.
"Chen Tan, isn't she your sister?" Shang Yuantang seemed not to see the anger in his eyes and continued unwillingly, "I plan to take her to college in the south."
"Bang!"
Qin Li stood up and punched him, "Asshole, she's my wife!"
Shang Yuantang, who was punched in the mouth, had cold anger in his eyes.
"Lu Chengyi, are you saying this on purpose because you don't want your sister to marry me?"
Qin Li's eyes also overflowed with the aura of a king. Shang Yuantang clearly saw that Chen Tan was his wife, not his sister, but he was still deceiving himself.
"Go down and ask her, and let her tell you herself."
Shang Yuantang stood there without moving. After a long time, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"No need, I trust you."
He just didn't want to face the result.
Qin Li pounded his chest with his fist, "Don't bully a friend's wife. I believe you are a gentleman!"
The power of the merchants is not something he can contend with if he really wants to rob them.
He may not win.
After all, this was only the second time the two met today, and they were not that close.
"That's natural. Let's go down."
The two men came downstairs one after the other, both wearing white Dacron shirts and black pants. They were tall and handsome, like two shining pearls.
They both have the best looking faces.
Shang Yuantang is like the breeze and bright moon, otherworldly and detached.
Qin Li has deep and three-dimensional facial features and is arrogant and unruly.
No one loses to anyone else.
Chen Tan was chatting with Zhou Qinglan when he heard footsteps. He looked up and his eyes fell on Qin Li with a faint smile on his lips.
He looks really good in white, looking cool and abstinent.
After coming down, Shang Yuantang sat opposite Chen Tan and stared at her coldly, with a hint of paranoia and unwillingness suppressed in his eyes.
Qin Li sat beside Shen Tan carelessly, took her hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at Shang Yuantang provocatively, "Wife, Shang Yuantang is older than me, just call him brother."
