“As for the other three, no matter what their plans are, they can’t have any conflicts in the shop. Otherwise, they’ll have to leave immediately.”
“This servant understands.” Tang Dongfeng quickly nodded.
“Oh right, Madam, this servant has something to report.” Tang Dongfeng took a step forward and told him everything he knew. “I went to check their identities before and found out that there was something fishy about Wang Wei and Liu Lu’s background.”
“Oh?” Ye Muyu was indeed surprised. She thought that even if the people that Butler Luo had hired was not perfect, their identities should not be a problem.
“Wang Wei owed a debt. It was nothing. It was true that the people from the gambling den wanted money from him. However, what surprised me was that his family was not harassed at all.”
Seeing Ye Muyu’s lack of reaction, he thought she did not understand how the people in the gambling dens usually did things.
“Madam, you might not know this. When the people from the gambling dens chase after you for your gambling debts, no matter what your situation is, as long as you don’t pay them back by the end of the day, the debt will be doubled. Forget about that. You don’t have money, and your family is not peaceful. It’s not uncommon for them to even kidnap a girl from Wang Wei’s family and sell her to pay off your gambling debts.”
“But nothing happened to Wang Wei’s family. It’s obvious that the casino has a trick up their sleeves. Wang Wei didn’t gamble before, but he suddenly ran into a gambling debt before we bought him. This is too coincidental. Presumably, Wang Wei has something to do with the casino.”
“This servant took the initiative to investigate. This trip really did reveal something.”
“Someone once saw Wang Wei enter the back door of the Yu family’s residence.”
“Madam, this Wang Wei is definitely a spy sent by the Yu family.” Tang Dongfeng laughed coldly. He felt that the Yu family had underestimated the Chu family, which was why they had revealed such a huge loophole.
“Then continue to investigate what the Yu family asked Wang Wei to do.” Ye Muyu was no longer surprised at the beginning. Now, she felt that Tang Dongfeng was indeed a talent. At least, he was good at digging up information.
Thus, she directly handed the mission to him.
“Don’t worry, Madam,” Tang Dongfeng said angrily, “I’ll definitely dig out this secret in less than two days.”
“What about Liu Lu?”
“There’s nothing wrong with Liu Lu’s background. It’s just that she likes to raise pigeons. Pigeons are naturally used to send messages. She said that the pigeon flew into the courtyard by itself and then became crippled. It’s also a gray pigeon without any markings. It looks like it’s really a wild pigeon.”
“I raised pigeons when I was young. Naturally, I’ve heard about how to train pigeons. Those pigeons looked like wild pigeons, but they were obedient. It can be seen that they were raised by someone before, but for some reason, they were disguised as wild pigeons.”
“So, Wang Wei and Liu Lu were sent by the Yu family?” Ye Muyu touched his chin. “It’s not strange. The Yu family has a good business in the prefecture city. It’s not difficult to find a servant from the prefecture city.”
“Madam, aren’t you angry? I wanted to wait until I found out the truth before telling Madam. I was afraid that it would be a false alarm,” Tang Dongfeng was a little surprised.
“Angry? There’s nothing to be angry about. The Yu family can even do things that harm people’s lives, so it’s normal for them to set their sights on a competitor’s shop.”
“However, we have to find out what they are up to, especially the Yu family’s movements. We don’t have to act rashly. Instead, we can use Liu Lu to obtain information about the Yu family,” Ye Muyu said.
