CHAPTER 941: CHAPTER 941

The housemaid Zhang immediately spilled the beans: "I just saw that her man, after coming here, wouldn’t work all day. It’s fine he wanted her to support him, but he wouldn’t even help her. I just couldn’t stand it and said a couple of words to him, but she wasn’t happy about it."

Xiaojin: "..."

Oh my, why are you so worried about this? This matter has nothing to do with you.

Xiaojin was completely speechless, ignored her, and went straight into the study to find the boss.

Upon reaching the study, Xiaojin discovered the boss was watering the flowers, so he approached and said, "Sir, there’s news coming from the bounty side. I’ve selected a few potentially useful pieces of information."

Lin Yebai, upon hearing this, put down the watering can in his hands and took what Xiaojin handed over.

Indeed, there were a few useful tidbits, but some would be rather difficult to investigate. However, one piece of information mentioned something about the Ou’s Longfeng, stating that back then, the reason why the Ou’s Longfeng quickly succeeded was due to a Jade Phoenix, and that Jade Phoenix originally belonged to the Ye Family.

Jade Phoenix?

Lin Yebai saw these words and remembered the gentle woman he had seen at the Ye Family during his childhood, who occasionally worshipped a delicate green Jade Phoenix.

Indeed, that Jade Phoenix was theirs, but it originally belonged to the Yan Family. It was an heirloom from the Yan family, and back then, when Uncle Ye made an excuse for the woman to take him and Ye Ning to escape, Aunt Xiuning entrusted that Jade Phoenix along with a Han Dynasty royal burial jade to them for safekeeping.

So in other words, back then Ou’s Longfeng did not touch the batch of Han Dynasty royal burial items but instead sold the Yan Family’s Jade Phoenix.

"Sir, does this mean that if we find that original Jade Phoenix, it could serve as evidence of Ou Qichang killing the Ye couple?"

Xiaojin, being savvy, immediately noticed the implication upon seeing this piece of information.

Lin Yebai also agreed with this viewpoint, because in the antique business, there’s an unspoken rule that valuable items must be transacted personally with the seller.

So, if they find the Jade Phoenix, along with the person who bought it back then, it would be almost sufficient evidence regarding Ou Qichang’s murder, even if it cannot convict him outright, it would certainly substantiate the robbery case against the Ye Family.

Lin Yebai’s eyes finally flashed with a glint: "If that’s the case, then we must check into Longfeng."

"Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. But I heard that recently, Ou’s is planning to sell Longfeng."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it was Ou Qichang’s decision from the past few days. Looking at it this way, he must have learned about us issuing the bounty, and after being found out, he is now impatiently selling Longfeng."

Lin Yebai nodded.....

It indeed made sense. Once sold, the old accounts of Longfeng would certainly be entirely erased before the new buyer takes over, which is reasonable and aligns with business law.

It seems that this matter truly needs to be hastened now.

So, after contemplating for a moment, Lin Yebai made a decision: "Tonight, gather some people and infiltrate Longfeng to investigate. It’s best if you can steal all of its financial records."

"Understood!"

Having received the order, Xiaojin quickly went to carry it out.

Seeing this, Lin Yebai picked up the watering can again and continued watering his flowers...
