Chapter 504: Slept with Two (8)_1
At this time, at the edge of the town, in a seemingly inconspicuous farmhouse, Qi Jingyi was drinking alone. He had purchased this place long ago as an occasional stopover.
Aside from him and his close guard Weng Ji, no one else knew about this place.
In front of him was food packed from the Baiwei Restaurant by Weng Ji, but he hadn’t taken a single bite. Truth be told, after becoming accustomed to the meals cooked by Yang Ruxin these past few days, he found the taste of these dishes somewhat off.
"Eighth Brother." Weng Ji appeared in front of Qi Jingyi without a sound, then leaned in to whisper something.
"Really?" Qi Jingyi couldn’t help but express a hint of surprise, then laughed, "That girl is quite thoughtful." Previously, Gu Yao had sent him a group of human traffickers, which led him to root out a trafficking ring, but he discovered there seemed to be an even larger organization behind it. Eliminating this one did nothing to shake the foundation of the others, so he had been investigating these days.
Illicit human trafficking was a serious crime in the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Lately, he had finally traced the leads back to Tian Geng, but surprisingly, Yang Ruxin had already had people watching him and even had someone become chummy with Tian Jialiang. Her progress was much faster than his.
Weng Ji nodded.
"Then... send two men to Gu Qingheng." Qi Jingrong paused for a moment before looking up, "Let him command them as he sees fit." Yang Ruxin did not send Qian Er, so she must be asking Gu Qingheng for men. He wasn’t clear on whether Gu Qingheng had enough men, but sending two was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, since he was also involved in this affair, his people were the most appropriate for the task.
Weng Ji nodded vigorously and turned to dispatch the men.
"Wait, what about Yang Baihe?" Qi Jingyi suddenly called out to Weng Ji.
