Chapter 345 - 342: Worries About Future Troubles - Part 1
"Hijacked?"
Bai Qingyan raised her eyebrows and thought of Ji Tingyu. Could it be that Ji Tingyu led people to hijack it?
But Xiao Rongyan had many experts under his command. The goods they protected were considerable in number. How then could they have been hijacked by Ji Tingyu’s people?
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Rongyan, who had a meaningful smile in his eyes, and immediately understood the implication in his words.
She retorted, "Although the Bai family’s ancestral home is in Shuoyang, we have never lived in Shuoyang. How could someone as wise and perceptive as Mr. Xiao not know this?"
"Since I came to find you, Commandery Princess, it is because I believe that only you can help me with this matter." Xiao Rongyan almost admitted that he knew the "bandits" who hijacked his goods were Bai Qingyan’s people.
Rather than asking her to introduce a family that owned tea mountains, it was more like Xiao Rongyan was reminding her to return his goods.
She was not afraid of Xiao Rongyan knowing that the so-called bandits were her people. After all, she also knew Xiao Rongyan’s biggest secret: his true identity.
Bai Qingyan’s people posing as bandits did not threaten Xiao Rongyan’s interests or those of the Yan Kingdom. Xiao Rongyan would not make an enemy of her before Yan became strong enough to dominate other nations.
What Yan had to do now was to work secretly in this chaotic world, preparing for future dominance.
