At this time, Lin Yu and Guo Xiao hurried over again and brought the Nine Phoenix Hairpins to Jiang Fenghua, "Where did you get this set of Hairpins?"

She was drunk last night so she didn't remember it. It was only when Guo Xiao mentioned it that she remembered it and looked carefully. She felt that she had seen the jadeite on it somewhere before.

Jiang Fenghua said: "I won it."

"Where did you win it?"

"It was just that I passed by a study room last night and saw quite a lot of people gathered around..." She briefly recounted what happened yesterday, and she had a bit of a conflict with Xie Shang because of it.

She looked around and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

Lin Yu pulled Jiang Fenghua back to the room and placed the step-swing on the table. "Look carefully at the jadeite inlaid on it. Do you think it is familiar?"

Jiang Fenghua also looked at it carefully. "I have no impression. I can only see that this is top-grade jadeite. This set of jewelry is very valuable."

Xie Shang and others also gathered around, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Lin Yu said, "Meng Yao took us to the exhibition hall on the second floor of the jade shop. I have seen the top-quality jadeite here. It is the work of Master Wenbo. This set of jewelry is the lost batch. However, this set of hairpins has been modified. But I recognize these jadeite. I also specially looked at the craftsmanship of the jadeite at that time. I must not be wrong."

Jiang Fenghua also figured it out, "You mean this set of jewelry was stolen from the jade shop by gangsters, and the boss of Fuguizhai is the gang leader."

Lin Yu said, "This is a finished piece of jewelry, and it has been modified. He can't just sell the original one. The government is still investigating the whereabouts of this batch of jade."

Xie Shang said, "Perhaps Ran Heng never thought that someone would win the prize, so he dared to use such precious jewelry as the prize. I saw that his Fuguizhai didn't sell jewelry, but he was able to use the robbed items as the prize. It seems that he is related to the bandits."

He added, "It just so happens that he sent a message to Ruan Ruan to arrange to go to Fuguizhai. How did he know where Miss Jiang Ruan was staying? It was obviously premeditated! Or someone was following Ruan Ruan. Does Ruan Ruan have any enemies in Nangong?"

Lin Yu said, "Yes, we offended some gangsters when we helped Meng Yao, but that man has been killed by A Ruan. If Ran Heng is really Yang Guaizi's man, he must have had bad intentions in dating A Ruan."

Jiang Fenghua still felt strange. "He couldn't control where we were going. If he wanted to lure me with this set of jewelry, how could he know that I would definitely go to his stall to compete? With so many people, how could he know that I would definitely win? It was indeed a coincidence that we went to Fuguizhai."

She added, "I just don't understand why he sent me an invitation to meet up. Don't you think it's too sudden for him to just send the invitation to me at the inn? He's so sure that I will go to the appointment. I don't even know him!"

Lin Yu said: "No matter what, you can't go. I'm worried that there's a scam."

Xie Shang said, "Why not go? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I will go with Ruan Ruan to see what he wants to do. You and Jiang Jinyan should be on standby with your men."

Jiang Fenghua also said: "Since it is confirmed that the jewelry from the jade shop is in his hands, Fuguizhai must be unclean. I also want to find out what is going on."

With Xie Shang by her side, she became more and more courageous and even hid a dagger on her body.

Fuguizhai.

Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang arrived at Fuguizhai and asked someone to notify their boss.

After a while, Ran Heng came out to greet her personally: "Miss Jiang, I am sorry to invite you here. I really have no choice. I didn't expect you to come. After all, we don't know each other."

Jiang Fenghua asked, "How did Boss Ran know that we were staying at the Happiness Inn?"

Before they came, they had checked out Fuguizhai, which was a study room that sold pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and its business was usually average.

They had just met briefly for the first time last night, so there was no way he could know where they were, unless they had been followed for a long time.

Ran Heng also thought of a preface, "Actually, I met the girl once a few days ago. You and another girl went to my study and bought a book of miscellaneous notes. Last night, the girl was really amazing in the competition. I admired her, so I wanted to ask the girl to come to my Fuguizhai to help a little."

After hearing this, Jiang Fenghua suddenly realized that she and Lin Yu had indeed gone shopping on the street, but there was nothing to buy, so she just bought a book and went home to read. She didn't even pay attention to the name of the study.

She said, “I see.”

Jiang Fenghua glanced at Xie Shang and didn't expect such a coincidence.

Xie Shang indicated that it was just Ran Hengguo's excuse, which made it even more suspicious, so he should be careful.

He said, "I wonder what favor does Mr. Ran want my fiancée to help him with?"

Ran Heng was a little embarrassed and explained, "I run a study, and I want to organize a tea-tasting and poetry-discussing banquet to make friends through literature. First, I want to build momentum for my study, and second, I want to make friends with more learned people to exchange poems and essays. I admire Miss Jiang's knowledge and would like to ask Miss Jiang for some advice. At the same time, I would also like to invite Miss Jiang to participate. I believe that with such a beautiful and learned woman like Miss Jiang joining, the banquet will be more meaningful."

Xie Shang said, "We are not interested in this thankless and pretentious banquet."

"Don't worry, sir. If Miss Jiang is willing to help, the reward will definitely not be small. In fact, Ran is not holding this kind of banquet to show off his elegance, but to attract business for the study. It is the same as guessing lantern riddles on Mid-Autumn Festival to win prizes, to attract popularity."

Ran Heng quickly explained: "I know you are not short of money. We are both from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is fate that we met in a foreign country. Even if Miss Jiang doesn't help, it would be nice to have a cup of tea to increase her popularity!"

Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "We have a lot of people, Master Ran, I hope you don't mind!"

"Don't mind, Miss Jiang, bring all your friends here, it will be more lively with more people!" Ran Heng also tried his best. He knew that the other party must be an extraordinary person, but he did not dare to resist Song Peng's orders.

In fact, since he sent someone to the inn to deliver the invitation, they should have been wary and could have chosen not to come, but he didn't expect that they still came.

Ran Heng was also very nervous at this time. He knew that Song Peng was hiding in the dark room and quietly listening to the movements outside. He was not afraid of his betrayal because there were also Song Peng's people outside dressed as guests watching him.

Ran Heng added: "I can show you and Miss Jiang my study."

Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua noticed something unusual when they entered the inn. People who came to this place should be scholars and writers, but there were a few martial artists who would secretly glance at them from time to time.

Ran Heng took them on a tour and introduced the various books and items sold in the study. He also cherished this study very much.

There is a fire bomb hidden in the study, and it is almost impossible for him to keep the study. Now he can only obey Song Peng's orders, otherwise his family will be in danger.
