The idea popped into Xiang Fan's head, and he immediately sent a message to Yu Linglong, asking about Liu Na's boyfriend's appearance.

Without any hesitation, Yu Linglong quickly told her everything she could remember.

They even retrieved the video from the surveillance camera at the villa entrance and sent it to Xiang Fan's phone.

Looking at the surveillance footage on his phone, Xiang Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

The man in the picture is burly and looks to be around 27 or 28 years old.

The features vaguely matched those of the black-robed man Wu Guoxiong had described.

Xiang Fan had a strong intuition.

The culprit who poisoned Wei Ying was Liu Na's boyfriend!

The other party not only had their eyes on Wei Ying, but also wanted to refine her into a furnace.

Moreover, they also coveted the Jade Linglong.

Judging from this, what the other party is plotting is probably quite significant!

Xiang Fan glanced at Wei Ying, who was still working, but didn't disturb her. He quietly got up and left the office.

Arriving on the rooftop, I dialed Black Rose's number.

"Immediately use all available channels to find someone for me."

"I've sent you the photos!"

"yes!"

Black Rose responded crisply and decisively.

"By the way, Master, the first payment of one billion to the Hu family has arrived in their account."

"Hu Xiaotian hopes that I can complete the mission within three days."

"Within three days?"

Xiang Fan frowned slightly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

"This Hu Xiaotian probably can't wait any longer."

Upon hearing this, Black Rose immediately asked for instructions in a cold voice.

"Master, should I take action and wipe out the entire Hu family?"

"No need," Xiang Fan declined calmly.

"The insignificant Hu family can be wiped out in the blink of an eye if I wish."

"Here's the plan: stall for time. Only make your move when you've squeezed the Hu family dry!"

"Understood!" Black Rose replied and hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Black Rose sent a message.

Xiang Fan opened the document, his gaze quickly sweeping over it, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Chen Mo, 28 years old, from Southwest China.

Aside from the recent appearances at some high-end clubs in Huai City, there is absolutely no other useful information.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party had been following Liu Na before.

Furthermore, they orchestrated a carefully crafted encounter at the airport.

After several deliberate attempts to get to know each other and establishing a romantic relationship with Liu Na, the two went to Yu Linglong's villa.

As expected, it was all Chen Mo's scheme.

The purpose was to use Liu Na's connections to get closer to Yu Linglong!

Ironically, Liu Na thought she had found true love.

How pathetic how stupid!

However, Xiang Fan didn't meddle in other people's business; after all, Liu Na had brought it on herself.

His gaze continued downwards, quickly settling on the last line of text:

Chen Mo and Liu Na stayed at Qingmu Manor and never left.

Aoki Villa?

Xiang Fan vaguely remembered that this place was famous even before he went to prison.

Often, people of extraordinary status appear.

Of course, staying here comes at a considerable cost.

Unexpectedly, this Chen Mo is quite wealthy.

That makes sense, though. If he were really a poor guy, how could he have so easily fooled Liu Na?

Now that the location has been identified, it's time to go and meet them in person!

……

Qingmu Mountain Villa, on the eastern outskirts of Huai City.

Even though he had heard about it before, this was Xiang Fan's first time here.

I must say, the decor here is indeed extremely luxurious.

In addition, its superb location nestled against the mountains and beside the water truly deserves the title of Huai'an's premier summer resort.

However, Xiang Fan only glanced at it casually before looking away.

After all, his purpose in coming here was to find Chen Mo!

It was already noon, and although the prices at Qingmu Villa were shockingly high, there were still quite a few guests coming and going.

Finding Chen Mo and Liu Na among these people is no easy task.

Just as Xiang Fan was looking around, a familiar figure suddenly entered his field of vision.

Luan Xin?

How did she end up here?

Immediately, Xiang Fan lifted his foot and walked in that direction.

At the same time, the middle-aged man in front of Luan Xin was glaring at her angrily.

"How do you walk? Can't you see I'm going this way?"

"And they even knocked over my good bottle of wine!"

Seeing the shattered wine bottle and spilled red wine on the ground, Luan Xin's pretty face was full of apology.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"Not on purpose?"

The middle-aged man sized up Luan Xin and snorted coldly.

"I spent two million to get this bottle of red wine from a friend."

"The price has now risen to three million! We're losing money!"

"What? Three million?" Luan Xin was shocked.

She had assumed the bottle of red wine cost at most a few thousand yuan.

Although it hurt, it was just that she accidentally bumped into the other person.

It's only right that we lose money.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked for three million right off the bat!

Even if we sold her house, we still couldn't afford to pay for it!

For a moment, her face was filled with panic.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know this wine was so expensive."

"But three million is really too much. Could you possibly lower the price?"

"A cheaper price?" The middle-aged man sneered, his face full of displeasure.

"At this price, it's already a bargain for you."

"Just two days ago, someone offered four million for this bottle of wine, but I didn't sell it!"

"Pay up the money now, stop dawdling!"

Seeing the other party closing in step by step, Luan Xin was so anxious that tears fell down her face.

Her aunt's son came back from abroad and said he wanted to treat everyone to dinner.

To demonstrate their strength, they chose Qingmu Manor as the venue.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but as soon as she entered, she bumped into a middle-aged man carrying a bottle of red wine.

The red wine was also smashed to pieces.

Just as Luan Xin was about to burst into tears, a young man walked over quickly, his face full of concern.

"Cousin, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Upon hearing this voice, Luan Xin quickly looked up at the other person.

With a sob in her voice, she briefly recounted what had just happened.

The young man, who had been looking concerned, suddenly changed his expression.

He gasped in shock when he looked down and saw the broken glass on the ground.

"Cousin, this is really troublesome!"

"My boss once bought a bottle of this wine for a whopping three and a half million!"

The young man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, looked at the middle-aged man, and said with a forced smile.

"Sir, how about this, you can give me a discount on this wine."

"Let's try to scrape together the money. How about we just consider it making friends?"

"Still cheaper?" The middle-aged man's face fell, full of impatience.

However, after a few seconds of hesitation, he still put on a magnanimous appearance.

"Hmph! Since you're at least sensible, how about this, I'll concede another 400,000."

"Give me 2.6 million, and we'll call it even!"

Although the price has dropped significantly, this number is still astronomical for Luan Xin.

Seeing Luan Xin's pleading look, the young man also looked helpless.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he leaned closer to the middle-aged man and tentatively spoke.

"Sir, I see you're still wearing your ring on your index finger, so you must still be single?"

"I wonder, what do you think of my cousin's appearance?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered.

"What do you mean by that?"

The young man chuckled.

"Sir, to be honest..."

"My cousin is not only beautiful and highly educated, but more importantly, she has never been in a relationship."

"If a bottle of wine can be exchanged for a good marriage, I think it wouldn't be a bad deal for you, would it?"

As the young man finished speaking, Luan Xin's pretty face was filled with disbelief.

She never expected that her cousin would ask her to be with the middle-aged man in order to resolve this matter.

She immediately shook her head and spoke urgently.

"Cousin, this can't be..."

Seeing this, the young man quickly pulled her aside and lowered his voice.

"Cousin, would your cousin ever harm you?"

"You could try dating him first, and then break up with him under some pretext once this is over, right?"

"How about this, can you afford those two million?"

"This..." Luan Xin fell silent, her face full of helplessness.

She couldn't afford that much money.

But she was even less willing to be with a middle-aged man.

Just as the young man was about to give him another push, a mocking voice suddenly came from the side.

"Wow, that was a pretty good performance!"

"You're so heartless, pushing your cousin into a fire pit like this! You're really ruthless!"
