Chen Nan hadn't expected the other party to be so straightforward.
Obvious!
His charm was too great, she couldn't control herself!
It was the first time someone had asked him to be their boyfriend in person, and he was a little shy: "A person lives for a few decades, and some questions don't need to be known. You just need to remember that you can, and that's enough!"
Xu Qingxin: "You've worked hard these past few days. Let's rest before we do it again."
------
The next day.
Before Chen Nan had woken up, he received a call from Cui Liu: "Mr. Chen, are you free now? I'll come over!"
"Okay!"
Chen Nan knew that Cui Liu must have found out the whereabouts of the group that had kidnapped his aunt back then.
Half an hour later.
He and Xu Qingxin arrived at the restaurant.
While eating the buffet, Cui Liu rushed over.
"Brother Liu, have you found out about that matter?" he asked.
Cui Liu said, "That matter back then involved many people. The mastermind behind it was the Taoist priest from Jiuding Mountain, and the Duan family, the wealthiest family in Feng County."
"Wait!" Chen Nan frowned tightly. "Why did the Taoist priest and the Duan family become the masterminds?"
Taoist priests are pure and cultivate their minds to follow the Tao.
The Duan family was the wealthiest family in Feng County.
Chen Nan couldn't imagine that these two forces would be the culprits!
Cui Liu explained: "The Duan family is a family with a long tradition. They used to make a living by escorting goods."
"It is said that a hundred years ago, the Duan family's escort agency had a certain influence in the surrounding provinces."
"But because of the invasion of foreign enemies, the Duan family began to decline."
"It wasn't until twenty years ago that they rose again by escorting goods, and now they have the Duan family of today!"
"However, no one knows that their rise this time was not just due to escorting goods, but also the business of abducting and selling women!"
"This business is incredibly profitable, and no one knows how many women they have abducted!"
"Let's not talk about the past. Just talk about Duan Cong, the only son of the Duan family. That guy drives a Ferrari all day long and acts like a tyrant in the county town."
"Any woman he fancies, he will shower her with money, and then take her back to have fun!"
"But afterward, those women would disappear without a trace!"
"Whether they were trafficked by them or not is unknown!"
Xu Qingxin and Chen Nan exchanged glances.
Was it the rich second generation they met last night?
Cui Liu continued: "As for the Taoist priests from Jiuding Mountain, they are even more vicious!"
"I heard that the Duan family first sent the abducted women to Jiuding Mountain."
"Because there is a Taoist priest on the mountain who has cultivated for a hundred years. That Taoist priest has cultivated evil techniques and relies on harvesting Yin energy to improve his cultivation!"
"After using them, they were directly sold to Gejiazhuang and the surrounding provinces!"
"Are you telling the truth?" An astonishing cold air erupted from Chen Nan's body. He never imagined things would turn out this way.
Cui Liu sighed: "I wish what I said was false, but the facts are just like this! Yesterday, a massacre broke out in Gejiazhuang, and the Duan family panicked, burning all the transaction records overnight."
He had people working in the Duan family, and these matters were leaked by them.
*Crack!*
The coffee cup in Chen Nan's hand was instantly crushed. Coffee flowed down his arm, making a mess!
"What is the origin of the Taoist priest from Jiuding Mountain?" Chen Nan asked through gritted teeth.
Cui Liu shook his head: "The Taoist priests from Jiuding Mountain are extremely mysterious. Even though I have lived in Feng County for most of my life and have been to Jiuding Mountain countless times, I have never seen the Taoist priests there!"
"But there are many stories about that Taoist priest."
"Some say that the Taoist priest has already become an immortal and doesn't care about worldly affairs!"
"Others say that the Taoist priest is an incarnation of an immortal."
"Whether it's true or false is unverified!"
"However, it is common knowledge that Jiuding Mountain and the Duan family have a good relationship."
"The Duan family donates millions in incense money every year and also repairs the Taoist temples in Jiuding Mountain's Jiulong Temple!"
"I have a subordinate who works in civil engineering. He helped repair the Jiulong Temple's Taoist temple last year!"
Chen Nan tried to control his anger: "It seems I have to pay the Duan family a visit later!"
He had sworn in his heart.
No matter who was involved in the kidnapping of his aunt back then, they would pay a heavy price!
"By the way, I heard that your aunt went to Jiuding Mountain's Jiulong Temple yesterday," Cui Liu suddenly said. "If I'm not mistaken, she must have gone to find that Taoist priest. Unfortunately, that Taoist priest was not there!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
If his aunt had indeed gone to Jiuding Mountain, she would have learned that the old Taoist priest there was involved in her abduction.
"Do you have any news about my aunt?"
Chen Nan had been watching the news. Although more and more police officers were involved, there was no clue about his aunt.
Cui Liu sighed: "Your aunt is no ordinary person. I heard that the government dispatched over a thousand people, set up checkpoints on the roads, and used hundreds of drones, but even so, they couldn't find her whereabouts!"
"Many people suspect that she has vanished into thin air. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to disappear so cleanly!"
Xu Qingxin held Chen Nan's hand tightly and comforted him softly: "Don't be nervous. The lack of news about your aunt is also good news, isn't it?"
Chen Nan remained silent.
But Xu Qingxin was right. The less news there was about his aunt, the safer she was!
Moreover, based on the current situation, his aunt was much better off than he had imagined. She not only remembered the people who had wronged her but could also evade the police search!
Most importantly, she hadn't truly gone on a killing spree!
One thought can lead to becoming a Buddha!
One thought can lead to becoming a demon!
As for what the future held, Chen Nan didn't know!
He could only hope that his aunt would be happy!
After breakfast, Chen Nan checked out.
He got the address of the Duan family from Cui Liu and had Xu Qingxin's driver drive the RV straight to the Duan family's residence!
------
"Dad, you must help me get revenge! That Chen Nan is too arrogant and doesn't put our Duan family in his eyes at all. If we don't kill him, how can our Duan family establish ourselves in Feng County?"
In the Duan family villa, Duan Cong's face was gloomy.
After being injured by Chen Nan yesterday, he went to the hospital immediately. After a physical examination, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found no serious injuries.
Then he returned home to seek help.
Duan Tianlong said in a low voice: "Our Duan family is already being targeted. It's best to act low-key at this time, otherwise, we might bring disaster upon ourselves!"
Duan Tianlong was also a little worried about being investigated for the Gejiazhuang case.
If that were the case, even if the Duan family was the richest family in Feng County, they would have to pay a heavy price!
Duan Cong said unwillingly: "Dad, Chen Nan's woman looks very similar to Xu Qingxin. If we kill him, can't we take that woman for ourselves? That kind of goods is very valuable!"
A cold glint flashed in Duan Tianlong's eyes: "Looks very similar to Xu Qingxin?"
Duan Cong nodded repeatedly: "Extremely similar. Otherwise, Chen Nan and I wouldn't have had a conflict!"
Duan Tianlong grinned: "In that case, I'll send two people with you to capture those two!"
"You want to capture me?"
Following a cold voice, Chen Nan entered the Duan family villa alone.
