Catching Monsters

Chapter 627 Feng Beier's Purpose
Jiang Yun looked at Feng Beier, who had suddenly appeared on the street, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Why would Miss Feng appear here? Of course, Jiang Yun was still delighted to see Feng Beier.

After all, Feng Beier was injured because of him, and later disappeared without a trace in the Jiang family mansion.

Jiang Yun instructed Qi Da, who was standing beside him, "You continue with the case."

He then strode forward, while Xiang Yeyun asked Qi Da curiously, "Does your Lord Jiang perhaps know that woman?"

"It's more than just knowing each other." Zidane chuckled.

Out of curiosity, Xiang Yeyun quickly stepped forward as well.

“Miss Feng, what are you doing in Yanzhou City? We searched for you for a long time after you disappeared from the Jiang residence, and your family was very worried.” Jiang Yun said quickly after arriving in front of Feng Bei’er, “I will send someone to take you back to the capital right away.”

Hearing Jiang Yun's words of special concern for her, Feng Beier felt a little warm in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she made up a reason and said, "Young Master Jiang, I cannot have you. Staying in the capital will only add to my longing. I might as well leave the capital and travel around Zhou Kingdom."

“I happened to be traveling in Yanzhou City and saw a lot of Imperial Guards handling cases nearby. I thought that Young Master Jiang should be here as well, so I came to see you.”

Hearing Feng Beier's words, Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said, "If you want to go out for a trip, you should bring more guards. How did you escape alone?"

Xiang Yeyun, who had followed, stared at the two of them with a look of surprise.

This stunningly beautiful woman seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Yun. More importantly, she also heard from this woman that she was unable to obtain Jiang Yun's affections.
Xiang Yeyun is also a woman. If she were to change back into women's clothing, her appearance would be among the best in Yanzhou City.

But standing in front of Feng Beier, he could only admit his inferiority.

Such a beautiful woman had never been seen before since Xiang Yeyun was born.

But judging from this conversation, this stunningly beautiful woman named Feng Beier likes Jiang Yun, and it seems that Jiang Yun doesn't agree.

"And who is this?" Feng Beier looked at Xiang Yeyun, who had followed her.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xiang Yeyun, a member of the Xiang family in Yanzhou City."

After a brief introduction, Jiang Yun said to Feng Beier, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Shall we find a place to sit down and catch up?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier was slightly surprised. Before she could think about it, Jiang Yun took her hand and led her towards a teahouse not far away.

After entering the teahouse, Jiang Yun found a secluded room inside, where he and Feng Beier sat down.

"Miss Feng, you were kidnapped, weren't you?" Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice after sitting down, "Was someone threatening you to come see me?"

"Have you been poisoned, or are you being controlled by someone...?"

Jiang Yun certainly didn't believe Feng Beier's earlier statement that she was going out for a walk to clear her head. After all, the Jiang residence had been under extremely tight security after Shan Tiangang caused a ruckus there.

Feng Beier had just recovered from serious injuries; how could she possibly leave the Jiang residence unnoticed?

There were too many loopholes in her statement.

And Feng Beier appeared here as soon as I arrived in Yanzhou City. Could this be a coincidence?
Hearing Jiang Yun's question, Feng Beier pursed her lips slightly, looked up at Jiang Yun and said, "Brother Jiang, there are many things I can't tell you yet, but I did leave the capital voluntarily."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, then took a deep breath and said, "Look, Miss Feng, if you are threatened, I can immediately send someone to escort you back to the capital and protect you."

“I wasn’t threatened.” Feng Beier shook her head slightly, took a deep breath and said, “Besides, I came to see you this time with a purpose, which is to find out whether you have the meteorite with you.”

"Meteorite?" Upon hearing these three words, Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Was the person who took you away Ye Xiuyuan? Or Liu Boqing?"

No, it's most likely Ye Xiuyuan.

After all, Liu Boqing was someone he knew, and he had been of great help to him back on the Immortal Island.

If it were him, he wouldn't need to resort to these tricks; he could just come to my door directly.

Thinking about all this, Jiang Yun asked, "Is Ye Xiuyuan also in Yanzhou City?"

“Yes.” Feng Beier nodded: “But I can’t tell you his address. He has two experts with him. Even if you go there, you won’t be able to beat him.”

“Brother Jiang, if the meteorite is important to you... you should run quickly. Shan Tiangang is right next to him. If he attacks you immediately, you won’t be able to beat him.”

Hearing Feng Beier's words, Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Was the Xiang family wiped out by them? Were they after the meteorite?"

"Yes." Feng Beier gritted her teeth slightly, but still nodded.

That makes perfect sense now. Jiang Yun suddenly understood; he had been struggling to figure out what force was secretly targeting him.

The Xiang family's deaths were likely due to the meteorite they had taken. It's possible that Ye Xiuyuan and his group, after wiping out the Xiang family, left behind a smokescreen to mislead them, leaving behind the message that they were killed by the Imperial Guards.

Feng Beier then spoke up, "Brother Jiang, you should leave quickly, or it might be too late."

"I'm curious, what exactly is Mr. Ye Xiuyuan planning? Since you've been following him for so long, do you know anything about it?" Jiang Yun asked.

Ye Xiuyuan is quite mysterious, and many of his actions are hard for Jiang Yun to figure out.

Feng Beier shook her head and slowly said, "Mr. Ye, you could say he's a good person, but he's really not that good. In order to find the meteorite, he slaughtered the entire Xiang family."

"You could call him a bad person, but he gave me the impression of being refined and easygoing."

"All I know is that his goal has always been to find meteorites."

Hearing what Feng Beier said, Jiang Yun fell silent.

Feng Beier slowly stood up as she said this: "I can only have a brief encounter with you, I have to go back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun asked seriously, "Miss Feng, have you really thought it through? You're not coming back to the capital with me?"

Feng Beier shook her head and slowly said, "Brother Jiang, after I returned to the capital, I simply stayed at home, reading the Book of Songs every day, thinking of you, but I could not have you."

“During this time, I have been traveling around with Mr. Ye and have seen many new and interesting things. When I’m busy, I don’t have much time to think about you, which is fine.”

"Besides..."

At this point, Feng Beier stopped talking and prepared to leave. Jiang Yun then said in a deep voice, "When you get back, how are you going to explain this to Ye Xiuyuan and the others?"

Feng Beier paused slightly. She hadn't thought about this question yet. She took a deep breath and said, "I'll just tell them that you left the meteorite in the capital. That way, they probably won't make a move against you."

“It’s not that simple.” Jiang Yun shook his head, then said to Feng Beier, “Tell Ye Xiuyuan that both meteorites are on me.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier was slightly startled and hurriedly advised Jiang Yun, "Brother Jiang, if you tell them that the meteorite is on you, you will be in danger."

“If you don’t tell me, you will be in danger. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

Feng Beier looked at Jiang Yun with some hesitation.

"Go ahead," Jiang Yun said with a smile, waving her hand.

"Okay." Feng Beier gritted her teeth slightly before quickly leaving the room.

Meanwhile, inside the inn where Ye Xiuyuan was staying, he sat quietly at the table, brewing tea, appearing quite calm and composed.

Fang Zhihong, standing to the side, paced back and forth, frowning and looking impatient. He said to Ye Xiuyuan, "Mr. Ye, it's been so long, and there's still no news."

"If you ask me, that little wench must have gone to inform Jiang Yun. That kind of girl is just like that. Once she falls for a man, she's like she's bewitched. Damn it, I'll go and bring those two back for you."

"What's the rush?" Shan Tiangang glared at Fang Zhihong, then looked at Ye Xiuyuan, waiting for Ye Xiuyuan's instructions.

Ye Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said slowly, "From the moment I sent her to see Jiang Yun, I guessed that she would definitely inform Jiang Yun. It's only human nature."

"But what follows is her test, to see if she is qualified to become one of the apostles."

"If you're not qualified..."

Hearing Ye Xiuyuan's words, Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong couldn't help but exchange a glance. This girl had already gone to inform others, yet Mr. Ye wasn't worried at all?
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the inn.

Feng Beier is back.

Dan Tiangang stepped forward and opened the door. Sure enough, Feng Beier walked in from outside.

Ye Xiuyuan remained seated at the table, brewing tea. Upon seeing Feng Beier return, he slowly asked, "How did it go? Did you find out if the meteorite is on Jiang Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes."

Ye Xiuyuan stared at Feng Beier with some surprise, not expecting her to give him such an answer so decisively. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How did you determine that?"

“I asked him directly.” Feng Beier glanced at Shan Tiangang and then said, “I saved Jiang Yun’s life back then, so Jiang Yun readily told me.”
