After Mu Jing drove the person away, she opened the drawer and looked at the letter.
There was no sign of being disturbed. How did she know that the target was the military?
Could it be that Liu Limao peeked at my letter and told her about it?
In this family, he is the only one who has this possibility.
Which side is he from?
The Mu family has a great cause and cannot be killed from the outside unless it collapses from within.
Is it possible that I stood by my sister so actively to help her today...
Mu Jing had a vague premonition, but couldn't tell what it was.
Commander Tan finished his official duties for the day and started discussing with Adjutant Guo in his study room.
"Miss Mu's family has changed so much over the years. She used to cry very sad even when animals died, but now she dares to kill people." Adjutant Guo stood aside and reminded, "How about I go check out what Miss Mu's family has experienced these years?"
What? I always feel that there is something strange about coming back suddenly this time."
"What could be strange? She and the maid both came back from Germany. Although Germany was a defeated country during World War I, it has been uneasy in recent years. It is normal for Fuli to carry a gun. Could it be that she was ordered by her superiors?
The person you want to kill is not there? The purpose now is to find out who is the murderer of the assassination." Commander Tan rolled his eyes angrily.
"We can tell from the items we found that it was Commander Tang who did it."
"Everyone knows that the object is Commander Tang. Is there no possibility of setting the blame?"
"Since we want to test the rebelliousness of those military commanders, why don't we bring Miss Mu into the game? Miss Mu had no choice but to leave eight years ago without the handiwork of those people."
"You want to drag her into a dangerous situation? Mu Jing will have to eat you." Commander Tan stared at Adjutant Guo in front of him with wide eyes: "I find that you are getting bolder and bolder now."
"Mu Jing is probably still thinking of sending her abroad. Your idea is unreliable."
"With Miss Mu's quirky personality, if she doesn't want to leave, who can stop her?" Adjutant Guo couldn't help laughing.
"Ever since my cousin died, Mu Jing has sincerely realized that my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes. If I abduct his sister, I might be deprived of military equipment in the army." Commander Tan's eyes widened and he didn't know.
He looked at him angrily.
Tan Yue'an rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Go down and check, and call Commander Tang in by the way."
"Yes." Adjutant Guo received the order and walked down.
It is not easy for me to fully control the Shanghai military. These are brothers who followed their father to conquer the world. Since we supported the leaders of the party, we people have listened to the opinions from above and all stayed in Shanghai.
The land occupied now is much less than before. Although the rich areas are easy to raise troops, these people only think about fighting for power and profit when they are free.
In yesterday's assassination, all the army commanders were suspected. Commander Tang was the one in the army who least wanted to commit suicide with him, but in the hands of the killer, he actually had walnuts and family heirloom jade pendants that Commander Tang had held for decades.
It's indeed rather strange.
While he was distracted, Commander Tang walked in directly.
"Commander, I heard you were looking for me."
"Ah." He responded: "Where are your walnuts and heirloom jade pendant? Can you let me see them?"
"The heirloom of the jade pendant has been broken in the past two days, and I'm trying to fix it. There was a thief at home two days ago, and the walnuts on the plate were lost. Today, I feel uncomfortable when I have nothing in my hands at the office of the Military and Government Building."
"What a coincidence? I happened to find your heirloom jade pendant on a dead man?" Commander Tan took out a box from the drawer and handed it to the commander.
"Here, this walnut is indeed mine. How come it is here with you? This heirloom jade pendant does look very similar to the one I have at home. Let me go back and look for it for identification."
"Yesterday I went to walk my horse, and these things were found from the person who assassinated me." Tan Yue'an's expression changed: "You should understand what I mean next."
"Commander, although I, Tang Chengxuan, have never read any books, I have followed you all the way till now. Even if I want to fight for power, I can't do such a dirty deed."
He smiled: "It is precisely because I know that Uncle Tang cannot do such a thing that I asked you to take your things back."
"You kid is so good at bluffing people." Tang Chengxuan closed the box: "I understand what you mean. Since these people framed what they did and blamed me, I have made them miserable these days."
After he finished speaking, he took the box and walked out.
There is a thief at home. He dared to steal even my family heirloom jade pendant. It is really unreasonable.
He angrily placed the things in front of his wife, "Where's the heirloom jade pendant my mother gave me?"
"Are they stored in our room?" Mrs. Yang Ye panicked when she saw his posture: "Since you want it now, I'll go find it for you."
She got up and went to the room, only to find two stones in the box on the dressing table.
Mrs. Yang was so frightened that she could not speak. She took the box and ran to the living room.
"The house was robbed."
"The heirloom jade pendant is really missing?" Tang Chengxuan was very angry after hearing this.
I originally thought that Mr. Tan was trying to scare me, but it seemed that the piece I saw was indeed stolen from home.
These old foxes in the army are usually like smiling tigers, but this time they actually got on my head.
He thought about it and dropped the tea cup on the table to the ground: "This is simply too much."
Tang Chengxuan's move frightened Mrs. Yang, who was sitting across the table, and trembled. "It must be the servants at home who did it. I asked them to come over and ask questions."
"I've already asked. It was Xiaocui next to you who did it. She hasn't been at home these days. She must have gone home for an excuse."
"In the past two days, she often told me that the old man at home was sick and wanted to go home for a visit. So I gave her five silver coins as payment for the old man's illness, and she would come back to take care of him after he recovered."
"But I asked the housekeeper, and he said that there is no one in Xiaocui's family for a long time. How can there be an old man at home?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Yang opened her eyes wide: "That guy, I want to go to her house to visit."
"Okay, don't go. Isn't it too messy?" Tang Chengxuan rolled his eyes at her angrily, and took out the box he brought back: "The things in here must be put away. The military side has estimated that in the past two days, Mr. Tan
You need to straighten it out, but you must not lose anything again."
She took the box handed over by her husband, opened it and looked at the contents. She found that the things were lying well in the box, and she frowned and was very puzzled by this behavior.
"What is going on? Could it be that Commander Tan got these things and gave them to you?"
"Yesterday he suffered an assassination and these things were found inside."
"Ah?" Her husband's explanation frightened her: "I have to straighten things out for you, the servants in the mansion, otherwise the servants in the mansion will trick you before your affairs are completed."
"That's what I mean. Next, you strictly prohibit them from running around. I want to see if there is anyone else in the family besides Xiaocui who is a thief who is collaborating with foreign enemies."
"good."
Liu Limao knocked on Mu Fu's door with a gadget he bought from the market, and Mu Cai walked out.
"What's going on? Why don't you go out to play today, miss?"
"I just had a fight with the young master this morning. The young lady is very tired and is resting in the room." Cai'er explained timidly.
"Ah? Are you still arguing about going back to Germany? Didn't the elder brother let go before?" Liu Limao was a little curious.
"The eldest young master said that he would give the young lady a chance to return to Germany on her own initiative. I hope she will think about it."
"These toys are for her to relieve her boredom." Liu Limao said and handed the things to Cai'er and returned to his bedroom.
Did the words he said in the study yesterday arouse Mu Jing's suspicion? Did he feel that the things he hid in the drawer were leaked? Or did he doubt my identity?
It seems that I have been acting too aggressively these past few days. No matter in my previous life or now, I don’t want my eldest brother to be hostile to me.
I've been looking at my elder brother's schedule these days and looking for opportunities to talk. If it doesn't work out, I can only imitate Mu Fu and cry.
Sometimes I feel that Xiaomei's method is quite effective, and Liu Limao couldn't help but smile.
On the other side, dozens of porters broke into the warehouse with guns.
"This is our Mu family's warehouse, what are you going to do?" the leader of the warehouse, Bai Da, scolded.
"Whoever grabs it gets it." The men swarmed with guns and tied everyone together, and the leader drove Steward Bai into the sea.
At this time, the phone on the dock rang.
The leader answered the phone and heard the call from inside: "Manager Bai, tomorrow we will sort out the cloths of the same color in the warehouse and transport them to various tailoring shops."
"Mr. Liu, I haven't heard your voice for a long time."
Liu Limao frowned and realized something was wrong: "Why are you in the Mu family's warehouse?"
"That's not to say that the eldest young master of the Mu family has gone too far and provoked the bosses in the business world to try to trick the Mu family."
"This batch of goods is very important to the Mu family. I hope you won't damage it. Tell me your conditions first, and I will discuss it with Master Mu."
"It has to be you, Mr. Liu. Just speak freely and I will give you an answer in three days." After the leader said this, he hung up the phone.
Liu Limao went to the study room, where Mu Jing was reading.
Dong dong dong dong~
He knocked on the door and went in, "Brother, I need to see you for something."
Mu Jing was shocked when she heard what happened. She usually does business in a friendly way and makes money. How could someone want to take revenge on him?
"I calculated that although the loss to us for that batch of goods was a bit large, it is not without the possibility of getting it back."
"Let's not talk about it for now. The most urgent thing is to find Manager Bai. He has been working in our family for thirty years. He is now too old and can't stand the trouble."
"Understood, I'm going out right now." After Liu Limao finished speaking, he was about to take out his clothes.
"Don't you have anything else you want to tell me?" Mu Jing suddenly gave him a chance to speak.
He stopped and thought for a moment: "I'll ensure Guanshi Bai's personal safety first, and then talk about things between the two of us."
"Okay, I hope you won't disappoint me." The eldest brother lowered his head to read the book in his hand.
Liu Limao drove straight out. Dongzi stood outside the study and looked at the eldest young master's absent-minded look. Thinking of what he just heard, did something happen to the two of them?
