Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane
Chapter 101 The silly young master’s little “fairy” wife (22)
Huang Yan looked wary, "What?"
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I just want you to come forward as a witness and help me identify Xue Zhongyi for murdering my brothers."
The Xue and Huang families have always been family friends and have many business contacts.
Xue Boren, the eldest son of the Xue family, has lofty aspirations and has no interest in doing business. The young master Xue Jili is another mentally retarded waste.
A hundred years after Yuan Xue's death, the foundation of the Xue family will inevitably be handed over to the second young master of the Xue family, Xue Zhongyi.
Although Huang Yan is always disliked by his own father, as the only son of the Huang family, he will naturally take over the family business in the future, and he will inevitably have to interact with Xue Zhongyi in the business world.
He had been competing with Xue Jili since he was a child. Although he did not have a close relationship with Xue Zhongyi, he would never be stupid enough to take the initiative to offend the future head of the Xue family.
When choosing between offending a foolish young master and offending the future head of the Xue family, all fools know how to choose.
So naturally he would not agree to such a request that was harmful to others and not self-serving, "Sister-in-law, offending Xue Zhongyi will do no good to you or me. Do you really expect Xue Jili to live a lifetime of being a fool?"
"I advise you to just pretend that this thing never happened, return the jade pendant to me as soon as possible, and I will pretend that I haven't seen you today. From now on, we will go our separate ways, and no one owes the other!"
Rejected, as expected.
Su Ye played with the jade pendant in his hand casually, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Master Huang, you know that my hands are unstable. It would be bad if I accidentally break this jade pendant."
"You dare to threaten me?"
Threats are certainly not an aboveboard tactic, but they can be useful in certain situations.
Such as now.
However, the young master of the Huang family is not an easy master to fool. Huang Yan hates being threatened the most in his life.
He has always been a soft-spoken person. When he was young and vigorous, he was not willing to learn business. He was threatened by his own father with family law, and he had to bear two broken ribs without saying a word for mercy.
How could a strong-willed man be willing to be threatened by a woman? Huang Yan's complexion was livid, with bulging veins, "Bai Xianxian, for the sake of the Xue family, I will address you as sister-in-law, so don't push yourself too far."
"I hate being threatened the most. Do you think you can control me with a broken jade pendant? Let me tell you, return the jade pendant to me while I can still talk properly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
I thought that the young master of the Huang family was just a fool who idled around all day, but I didn't expect that he still had some backbone.
Su Ye made a miscalculation today.
This Huang Yan is not as easy to handle as she imagined.
If she really takes action, she will definitely suffer a loss with her current body.
Anyway, the murderer behind the scenes has been confirmed, so her trip is not in vain. Even if Huang Yan refuses to come forward to testify for her, there is always another way.
A good girl doesn't want to suffer immediate losses. For this reason, she can only accept the good news and hand over the jade pendant.
"Master Huang, it is useless to keep this jade pendant with me. Since you insist on refusing to help, there is no need for me to force you to return the jade pendant to you."
"No matter what, I still want to thank you for saving me and Ah Li that day. I will remember this kindness and will definitely repay you in the future."
Huang Yan put away the jade pendant and said with disdain: "Forget it about repayment, you can find the jade pendant for me and the grudge between us will be wiped out."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but then came back and added something as if he suddenly thought of something.
"But I still advise you, it's best not to mess with people you shouldn't mess with, otherwise you will die miserably."
This person who shouldn't be messed with naturally refers to Xue Zhongyi. Huang Yan is reminding her not to confront Xue Zhongyi head-on.
Today's meeting made Su Ye change his opinion of Huang Yan a lot. This seemingly naughty young master was actually thoughtful and thoughtful.
Although he hated Xue Jili deeply, he was not to the point of insisting on killing him.
Even if this person cannot be used for his own purposes, he must not be his enemy.
While there is still some time, Su Ye plans to go to the warehouse to take a look first.
Although time has passed so long, we may not be able to find any useful clues, but no matter what a person does, he will always leave traces, and as long as you pay attention, you can always find some clues.
Because of the fire, the door of the Xue family warehouse has been sealed for several days.
The people from the yamen had already investigated everything they should, but in the end they didn't find any useful clues, so the case was hastily closed as an accidental fire.
Su Ye always felt that this matter was being manipulated secretly. Otherwise, how could the local government in such a humid place hastily conclude the case with an accidental fire?
Because the warehouse where the fire broke out was independent, the fire did not spread to other warehouses.
The fire did not cause the Xue family to lose much.
The independent warehouse, the humid environment, the hay in the box, and now connecting it all seems to point to every detail pointing to the murderer being a member of the Xue family.
Only people from the Xue family would be so familiar with the Xue family's warehouse, only people from the Xue family would consider the goods in other warehouses, and only people from the Xue family would know her itinerary well.
Thinking about it now, maybe even Uncle Cao, who deliberately reminded her to go to the warehouse that day, belonged to Xue Zhongyi.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for Xue Zhongyi's cover, how could the obvious accounts have not been discovered for so long.
It was probably Xue Zhongyi's fault that shopkeeper Wang suddenly canceled the order before.
This Xue Zhongyi has been against her since the first day she married into the Xue family. She must be worried that one day she will compete with him for the family property.
Although fighting for family property is indeed one of Su Ye's goals, if he rushes to get rid of her because of this unspecified matter, his sinister intentions are obvious.
Zhongyi, Zhongyi, but everything he did was unjust. I really feel sorry for the name Xue Yuanwai gave him.
Most of the warehouse had been burned down, leaving only a faint charred outline.
According to Su Ye's speculation, the fire should have started in the corner behind the warehouse.
When she came in to inspect the goods that day, there was a lot of hay piled in the corner. Now these things have been burned clean, revealing a small hole, which looks like a mouse hole in size.
It was more humid in the corner, and without the pile of hay as kindling, the fire probably wouldn't have started so easily.
In addition, the boxes that originally stored fabrics at the back of the warehouse were replaced with more flammable hay, which caused the fire to spread so quickly.
That corner was completely burned, leaving nothing but ashes.
Su Ye carefully checked outside the warehouse again, and she really found something suspicious.
There is a shiny area outside the mouse hole. It should be that the arsonist sprinkled a circle of oil to help the fire.
What can be used to light a fire and pour oil easily, and can be brought into the warehouse without arousing suspicion from others?
