"Twin Fish Jade Pendant?" Lu Fan also remembered that Old Fan had indeed mentioned that Xue'er's father was a skilled jade craftsman who inherited his family's trade, but he died under mysterious circumstances.
"Xue'er! Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Although your grandfather took on the job back then, it doesn't necessarily mean it's related to your father's death!" Lu Fan said after some thought. After all, there were no clues or evidence, and too much time had passed. He couldn't act solely on intuition.
"There's only one clue. Knowing how expensive the Emperor's Jade is, how could he have only taken the Twin Fish Jade Pendant and left something more valuable for Grandpa? And how did the news that Grandpa had the Emperor's Jade necklace get out?" Fan Xue'er suddenly said.
"Even if what you're thinking is correct, wouldn't going to find him like this be like walking into a tiger's den? How about this, give me that person's information, and I'll help you investigate! For now... tell me where your shop is, and I'll take you back," Lu Fan said.
"Okay!" Fan Xue'er took out her phone and handed Lu Fan a photo.
Lu Fan glanced at it; it was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Xiao Fan! You... you married Ru Yan, right?" Fan Xue'er suddenly asked weakly.
"Yes! We are married!" Lu Fan nodded.
"Xiao Fan! I... my car is over there! I'll go back by myself! If I encounter that person again, I'll contact you!" Fan Xue'er opened the car door and got out.
"Alas...!" Lu Fan shook his head slightly, sighing inwardly. He watched Fan Xue'er get into a Porsche not far away and drive off. Then, he took out his phone and called Jiang Chao.
"Jiang Chao! Help me find someone named Master Lu!" Lu Fan said.
"Boss! Any other information?" Jiang Chao asked from the other end of the line.
"He's probably a spy. A contact person for a group called the Cang Ying Hunting Group. These guys wanted to assassinate me, and I stumbled upon them." Lu Fan briefly explained the situation to Jiang Chao.
"Understood, Boss!" Jiang Chao hung up.
Lu Fan then called Hua Lao San. Jiang Chao's information might be limited, but Hua Lao San's would be more extensive. However, if this Master Lu was indeed a spy, he wouldn't easily reveal his name. He might have many aliases. But no matter what, they had to find this person, because the killer group knew too little; they were only responsible for killing.
The members of the Cang Ying Hunting Group had probably only arrived here recently and hadn't made contact with Master Lu yet. The person responsible for contact was the one who had drugged Fan Xue'er, whom Lu Fan had killed in anger. If only he had searched his soul before killing him!
"Hua Thirty-Five! Reliable news, over a dozen strong individuals from abroad have entered China. After entering China, they suddenly disappeared." Hua Lao San suddenly sent Lu Fan a message.
"Suddenly disappeared? Hmph! Even Hua Rong Mansion couldn't keep track of them. It seems stronger people have arrived! Are they all targeting me? Or did Hua Rong Mansion's sudden appearance attract them!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, realizing there would be work to do.
"By the way, if they are all coming for me, then someone must be watching me and notifying the other party," Lu Fan's mind raced. He suddenly started his car and chased in the direction Fan Xue'er had left.
Whoosh... Just as Lu Fan's car started, three cars behind him also started and drove towards Lu Fan's direction.
Lu Fan glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled coldly. He suddenly turned at the intersection ahead and drove in another direction.
Whoosh, whoosh... The first two cars did not follow, but the third car did.
Swish... Lu Fan suddenly drove his car into a large hotel parking lot.
Whoosh... The third car also drove in. However, before Lu Fan could turn his car around, he suddenly noticed that the second car, which had driven past earlier, had slowly stopped by the side of the parking lot.
"Damn it! I underestimated them! Their tracking methods are quite something!" Lu Fan stopped his car, got out, and entered the hotel. At the same time, he sent a message to Fan Xue'er.
Fan Xue'er, who was driving, heard the message sound, glanced at her phone, and then looked at the rearview mirror. She then found an intersection and turned back.
As expected, a car behind her also turned back.
Fan Xue'er suddenly felt a little panicked and drove towards Lu Fan's tea house.
Lu Fan entered the hotel, found a seat by the window in the lobby, ordered a couple of small dishes and a bottle of Langjiu! He sat there and drank leisurely.
He played with his phone while drinking. By the time the sun had set, Lu Fan still looked unhurried.
At the tea house, Fan Xue'er sat in a corner, drinking tea. She had to admit that the tea here was really good; even she, who didn't know much about tea, had become addicted.
"Miss! May I sit here?" Suddenly, a graceful man in his thirties appeared before Fan Xue'er and politely pointed to the seat opposite her.
"Yes!" Fan Xue'er nodded.
"Thank you!" The man sat down and then called back, "A pot of Tieguanyin!"
"Coming right up!" With a clear voice, a tea artist lady brought a pot of Tieguanyin and placed it directly on the table. "Please enjoy, sir!"
"Oh... Miss! Where is your restroom?" Fan Xue'er suddenly asked.
"Miss! Please go forward and turn left!" The tea artist lady replied politely.
Fan Xue'er got up and walked towards the restroom.
Seeing Fan Xue'er leave and the tea artist lady turn away, the man suddenly took out a small, transparent pill from his pocket, swish... and dropped it into Fan Xue'er's teacup. Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the teacup and slowly sipped his tea.
Click... click... The sound of high heels was crisp and rhythmic.
The man turned around and saw Li Jingjing, dressed in a small suit, walking towards them. The moment Li Jingjing's gaze met the man's, swish... sparks immediately flew.
Wow! This little sister is as beautiful as the lady just now... The man's mouth began to drool...
Li Jingjing walked over and gently patted the man on the shoulder. The man suddenly fell backward.
"Heh heh! Drank too much tea!" Li Jingjing chuckled, picked up the man, and went upstairs.
...
In the hotel, Lu Fan smiled slightly as he looked at his phone. He called the waiter, paid the bill, and stood up to leave. He reached the parking lot, got into his car, and started the engine, preparing to leave. Suddenly, someone sat up in the back seat, pressing a gun to Lu Fan's head.
