Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

C291 The Origin of the Robber



C291 The Origin of the Robber

The silence continues, but the night is getting darker and darker.    

    

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind entered the window. Jiang Loong hesitated and called out to Xiao Chen twice.    

    

Only then did Xiao Chen come back to his senses.    

    

However, the fingers on the armrest of the chair did not stop there. They continued to knock and knock.    

    

After a while, he put his fingers away and turned to face Jiang Loong seriously.    

    

"Today, don't tell anyone about me getting this thing. Do you understand?"    

    

"Yes, I will remember it. Even if I die, I will not say a word."    

    

Jiang Loong also replied with a serious face. That serious tone expressed his determination and loyalty.    

    

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Xiao Chen put away the things and changed the topic.    

    

"Did you find anything from those people last time?"    

    

"In reply to Sir, I wanted to report this to you!"    

    

When Jiang Loong heard this, he immediately understood that Xiao Chen was talking about the criminals who robbed the Spiritual Spring cart last time.    

    

Therefore, he didn't waste any time after he finished speaking. He immediately took out a prepared confession and handed it to Xiao Chen with both hands.    

    

Xiao Chen took it and swept his eyes over it. When he saw the crooked words on it, he immediately lost his mood.    

    

He threw the confession to the side and asked directly, "What's your background?"    

    

Seeing Xiao Chen's action, Jiang Loong didn't dare to have any objections. When he heard what Xiao Chen said, his expression changed and he immediately explained to Xiao Chen.    

    

The robbers that were captured last time had a total of twenty-three people, and they were all cultivators.    

    

However, their cultivation wasn't high, and only three late Outer Astral warriors were holding the line.    

    

However, the Spiritual Spring was the lifeline of the Zhang's's main products, the Beauty Pill and the Meridian Replenishment Pill. Therefore, the Zhang's had made preparations early on.    

    

For example, the carriages that were transporting the Spiritual Spring were all installed with an additional location, and even the bottles that contained the Spiritual Spring.    

    

Therefore, after the carriage was robbed, Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry at all. He was still in the mood to deal with Chi Ping's Uncle Cui.    

    

Because of this, Faang Yuan easily found the hiding place of those people.    

    

He brought the people of Dragonwing Hall and Zhang's and killed all the criminals in one group. The people on his side only suffered some minor injuries.    

    

After a few days of interrogation, those men finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to explain.    

    

These people were all subordinates of the Xue family. This time, they were ordered to come here to inquire about the news.    

    

The purpose was to find the thing that the Xue family might be looking for in Chi Ping's hands, which was the research data of the 'Health Potion'.    

    

However, these guys were eager to contribute, so they took the risk.    

    

They knew that there was something strange about the car that came from back hill of Half Mountain Villa, so they discussed it and secretly set up an ambush and robbed the car.    

    

Their plan was pretty good. On the one hand, they could figure out what was inside the cars.    

    

On the other hand, if these things were really that important, they might be able to make a deal with Xiao Chen and Zhang's.    

    

No matter what method he used, as long as he could obtain the research data of the Health Potion, it would be a great contribution.    

    

This was the origin and plan of those bandits!    

    

Xiao Chen listened attentively, but his heart was somewhat suspicious.    

    

He had seen how much importance the Xue family attached to the Health Potion in Yanjing.    

    

However, it seemed too shabby to send such a small number of people here, and it was still a group of people who couldn't be put on the table.    

    

Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't even been stopped when he left Yanjing with Chi Ping.    

    

These two things made him feel strange.    

    

"Which means, the Xue family isn't completely sure that the item is in Chi Ping's hands right now, right?"    

    

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Chen seemed to have grasped something. He narrowed his eyes and asked word by word.    

    

"From what they said, it seems to be true. They only confirmed that there is something there, but they are not sure where it is."    

    

" So that's how it is! " Only then did Xiao Chen nod his head. Only now did he finally understand a little.    

    

Based on the prestige he had when he fought the Zheng family, and the fact that he had come to oppose him because of an uncertain possibility, it was obvious that the Xue family had scruples as well.    

    

"What about those people from last night? Have you found out anything about them?"    

    

"Well, not yet!" Jiang Loong lowered his head and replied with a guilty conscience.    

    

Last night was a crushing battle, but they were the ones who were crushed.    

    

When the other side retreated, even the wounded were taken away, leaving only a few corpses behind.    

    

With just this little clue, even with the Dragonwing Hall's current power and intelligence network, it would be difficult for them to gain anything in a short period of time.    

    

"If you are a human, you must eat. If you are injured, you must treat your injuries! Let our brothers cheer up and investigate properly!"    

    

"Your subordinate has already instructed that we have already arranged for our men to be stationed near the various large hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies."    

    

"Okay, tell them that we have done a good job this time. I will tell Faang Yuan about it."    

    

He waved his hand and signaled Jiang Loong to leave.    

    

Jiang Loong was shocked when he heard that.    

    

Although Faang Yuan was one of the Vice Hall Masters and was naturally responsible for something, there was only one thing that he was responsible for!    

    

It was the group of people who trained and led Xiao Chen to select carefully.    

    

Although there were not many people in this group, these two battles had already shown their absolute combat strength.    

    

At least, the ordinary members of the Dragonwing Hall couldn't catch up to them.    

    

Therefore, the group led by Faang Yuan was respectfully called the Dragon Subduing Team by the brothers in the hall.    

    

This meant that as long as this team was still there, the Dragonwing Hall would be able to rest in peace.    

    

It was enough to show how much respect they had for this group of people.    

    

Didn't Xiao Chen mean to say that they were ready to expand their manpower in Dragon Subduing Team?    

    

If this news were to spread, wouldn't those kids be so excited that they would fly to the sky?    

    

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Loong didn't stay any longer. He respectfully left the office, but he didn't leave.    

    

Xiao Chen sat alone inside and was silent the entire night. Jiang Loong also stayed outside the door for the whole night.    

    

The next day, the sky was bright. Xiao Chen found a place to wash himself.    

    

After eating a simple meal, he took the USB drive and drove to the Zhang family.    

    

The old man's injuries were not serious, so after meeting Xiao Chen yesterday, he had already completed the discharge procedures.    

    

He was not surprised to see Xiao Chen.    

    

"Although it might not be appropriate to say so, it's a pity that we haven't found any traces of Chi Ping and Lingling!"    

    

"I am not here to ask you this." Xiao Chen glanced around and then took out the USB.    

    

The first time he saw this thing, Old Master Zhang's expression was almost the same as Xiao Chen's last night.    

    

"Why is this thing in your hands?"    

    

"Someone sent it to me yesterday, but I suspect that person might be Chi Ping!"    

    

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. The password forced him to think this way. After all, only he and Chi Ping knew about it.    

    

Old Master Zhang could not help but be stunned when he heard that.    

    

If that was the case, then there was a big discrepancy between this and the old man's suspicion. Therefore, the old man didn't reply immediately.
