Tang Li wanted to see her?
Ning Jing answered decisively, "Tell him I won't see him! By the way, tell him to give up on the thought of running away. He won't be able to escape! "
Han Yunxi smiled but did not say anything. She missed Tang Li a lot. She asked, "If you don't go over, I'll go over."
"What do you want to do?" Ning Jing became nervous.
"I'll chat with him for a while. I hit it off with him, so I'm talkative," Han Yunxi said with a smile.
"Do you think you'll hit it off with him now? Don't forget your identity, "Ning Jing reminded Cold.
"Want to make a bet?" Han Yunxi asked. Although she had not seen Tang Li since her identity was revealed, and she did not know what kind of attitude Tang Li had toward her, she was sure that Tang Li had worshipped Long Fei Ye since he was young and did not dare to disobey him.
Even Long Fei Ye acknowledged her. Would Tang Li dare to not acknowledge her as his sister-in-law?
Ning Jing was not interested at all. She said Cold, "Don't tell anyone about us. If you want to embarrass yourself, I won't stop you. I'll go to the auction house to take a look. The real culprit behind this matter is not that simple. "
Ning Jing was about to leave when Han Yunxi hurriedly stopped her. "Let me ask you something."
"Speak!" Ning Jing was very straightforward.
"Where are Gu and Mu Ling 'er?" Han Yunxi asked seriously. Bai Yuqiao had fallen from Gu's hands to Ning Cheng's. What happened in between? Gu's reply to her clearly said that everything was fine. Could it be that there was a trap in this letter?
"Gu left a long time ago. Mu Ling 'er is with Deacon Jin. You go and find it yourself. "After Ning Jing finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Han Yunxi was a little surprised. Ning Jing's words meant that Gu and Mu Ling 'er were both in the Three-Way Black Market. If Gu was gone, why would Mu Ling'er fall into Deacon Jin's hands?
Did Gu lose Ling 'er again? Han Yunxi chased after her, wanting to ask what had happened. Unfortunately, Ning Jing had already gone far.
Han Yunxi did not have time to see Tang Li. She wanted to find Deacon Jin, but found that she did not know where to find him. She immediately asked someone to invite the Fifth Patriarch over.
In this Myriad Merchant Hall, other than Ning Jing, only the Fifth Patriarch could make her feel completely at ease.
The moment the Fifth Patriarch came over, he told her about Gu and Mu Ling 'er in the casino. Although the Fifth Patriarch did not know that Ning Cheng had forged the letter, Han Yunxi could guess the whole story.
"Your Highness, Master Ning must have misunderstood you by placing Mu Ling 'er under house arrest. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, this subordinate will send someone to bring Miss Ling 'er over, "the Fifth Patriarch said respectfully.
Han Yunxi nodded. Who knew that not long after, a servant came to report that Deacon Jin would not release her.
"Preposterous! This subordinate will go over personally. " The Fifth Patriarch was about to leave in a huff, but Han Yunxi stopped him. She asked, "Why did Ning Cheng place Mu Ling 'er under house arrest at Deacon Jin's place?"
Although Deacon Jin's indenture contract was still with Myriad Merchant Hall and he was still the Thousand Gold Pavilion's deacon, Deacon Jin's East Valley Bank was within his own sphere of influence and was independent of Myriad Merchant Hall! If Ning Cheng wanted to place Mu Ling 'er under house arrest, it would be within Myriad Merchant Hall's sphere of influence. How could he let Deacon Jin bring her to the East Valley Bank?
The Fifth Patriarch answered, "Your Highness, Deacon Jin and Master Ning are master and servant, and also friends. This subordinate does not know about this matter. This subordinate will call Uncle Cheng over. Uncle Cheng should know."
A complicated look flitted across Han Yunxi's eyes. She asked calmly, "Where is Deacon Jin's indenture contract?"
"Myriad Merchant Hall's servants are all under unified management. The indenture contracts are all stored in the warehouse. However, Deacon Jin is a little special. Master Ning has always kept the indenture contract for himself. This subordinate also does not know where it is." As the Fifth Patriarch spoke, he added, "However, Master Ning may not carry it with him at all times. Uncle Cheng may know. This subordinate will hurry and find him."
"There's no need." Han Yunxi stopped him. "Take me to the East Valley Bank."
The Fifth Patriarch was absolutely obedient to Han Yunxi. Without asking any questions, he pushed her out of the door and down a small path.
At this moment, a black shadow flitted across the rooftop, following them. Who else could this black shadow be but Xu Donglin? His Highness had instructed him to keep an eye on the Princess. The moment the Princess left Myriad Merchant Hall, he was to report her whereabouts to him.
Han Yunxi was going to the East Valley Bank. At this moment, Uncle Cheng and Deacon Jin were drinking tea in the back courtyard of the bank.
"Don't even think about the casino business. I dare to guarantee that Myriad Merchant Hall cannot save the casino. Hehe, even Golden Wing Palace and East Origin Hall do not have that ability. "Uncle Cheng said sternly.
Deacon Jin had a rough grasp of the casino's situation. Based on his judgment, the casino business in Three-Way Black Market would not be able to flourish for at least two years. The people of Golden Wing Palace had exposed all the cheating methods in the casino. Who would still dare to come and play?
Deacon Jin drank the finest tea without saying a word.
Uncle Cheng continued, "Now that the Princess has returned, your agreement with Ning Cheng is also void. Hehe, don't blame me for not reminding you. You won't be able to get back that limitless gold card you lost to Gu. Deacon Jin, you're definitely going to suffer a loss this time! "
Actually, there was no need for Uncle Cheng to remind him. From the moment Deacon Jin found out about Han Yunxi's identity, he knew that his deal with Ning Cheng was definitely going to suffer a loss.
He remained silent as Uncle Cheng analyzed the situation.
"Sigh, so be it. It's just a mere limitless gold card. The East Valley Bank can naturally afford to suffer a loss. It's just that … "Uncle Cheng waited for a while, but didn't continue.
Deacon Jin brushed his fine bangs aside, revealing the scar on his forehead. He asked, "Just what? When did Uncle Cheng treat me like an outsider? "
Uncle Cheng sighed softly. "It's just that you put Han Yunxi's younger sister under house arrest, and offended her at the entrance of Myriad Merchant Hall … I'm afraid that she won't let the matter of you putting Mu Ling'er under house arrest go so easily."
Deacon Jin was extremely puzzled. What exactly was Uncle Cheng's motive for making a special trip here to sow discord between him and Han Yunxi again and again? Ning Cheng was loyal and devoted to Western Qin. Now that something had happened to him, what was Uncle Cheng trying to do?
Deacon Jin weighed the situation for a while, then said mildly, "Uncle Cheng, since you're treating me like an outsider, please go back."
Uncle Cheng wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed. "Jin Zi, Uncle Cheng likes your personality. Straightforward!"
Deacon Jin didn't say anything. He was usually a man of few words.
Uncle Cheng leaned over and whispered something to Deacon Jin. In a few sentences, he explained the deal clearly.
Uncle Cheng wanted Deacon Jin to use Mu Ling'er as a bargaining chip to get a huge sum of money from Myriad Merchant Hall. Once the deal was done, Uncle Cheng would return the indenture agreement to him.
Deacon Jin was a smart person. He immediately realized that Uncle Cheng wanted to make things difficult for Han Yunxi while Ning Cheng was away.
Based on Han Yunxi's conflict with Ning Jing at the entrance of the main hall today, coupled with Uncle Cheng's attitude, Deacon Jin more or less guessed that Han Yunxi, this princess, hadn't truly gained a firm foothold in the Di Clan.
Ning Cheng wasn't around, so there might not be anyone in the Di Clan who was convinced by Han Yunxi.
Deacon Jin was only curious about these matters. He was most concerned about his indenture agreement.
"How is it? Is my indenture agreement in Uncle Cheng's hands?" Deacon Jin asked.
Uncle Cheng immediately took out a handwritten copy. "Take a look. Are there any discrepancies?"
Deacon Jin's calm expression changed slightly when he saw that thing. He had personally written the indenture agreement and signed it. He knew every word on it, even the position of his signature.
However, a handwritten copy couldn't prove that his indenture agreement was in Uncle Cheng's hands. Given Uncle Cheng's status, it wasn't impossible for him to see this thing.
Deacon Jin said indifferently, "Uncle Cheng, I can promise you anything if you can give me the indenture agreement. However, I want to see the real thing. "
A complicated look flitted across Uncle Cheng's eyes. "Alright, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning. I'm sure Han Yunxi will soon know that Mu Ling 'er is here. You have to be prepared. "
"Of course," Deacon Jin said indifferently.
Uncle Cheng hurriedly left through the back door. Almost at the same time, Fifth Elder pushed Han Yunxi into the Guest Hall.
"Master, Myriad Merchant Hall's Fifth Elder is here to see you. He even brought a woman in a wheelchair with him. This subordinate isn't sure of her identity," the attendant answered truthfully.
Deacon Jin was slightly taken aback, but he quickly regained his senses. He said in a low voice, "Watch Mu Ling 'er carefully. Don't let her run around. She definitely can't come to the Guest Hall. "
The attendant obeyed and left. Deacon Jin then quickly walked to the Guest Hall. Along the way, he kept his head down, a shadow in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Although Deacon Jin was somewhat fearful of Han Yunxi's identity, he still maintained his usual calm, even a little cold.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?" he asked indifferently. He waved his hand to summon the attendant to serve tea.
"I heard that you weren't willing to release my sister, so I had no choice but to come personally." Han Yunxi was very direct.
"For the indenture agreement? What did Ning Cheng promise you? Why did he allow you to bring her here? "Han Yunxi asked.
"Ning Cheng promised me back then. Do you acknowledge it, Princess?" Deacon Jin retorted.
"I don't acknowledge it. I'm just asking," Han Yunxi said with a smile.
"Then there's no need for me to say." Deacon Jin did not stand on ceremony. If not for Uncle Cheng's reminder, he really would not have thought that he still had Mu Ling 'er to negotiate with Han Yunxi.
It was still unknown whether Uncle Cheng could produce the original indenture agreement. Moreover, even if Uncle Cheng secretly gave him the indenture agreement, so what if he destroyed it? Myriad Merchant Hall would never admit it. Most people in the circle knew that he was Myriad Merchant Hall's slave. If he wanted to leave, how could he leave secretly? He had to leave openly.
Although this woman in front of him had not gained a firm foothold in the Di Clan, he would rather bet his chips on this woman than on a villain like Uncle Cheng!
"No need to say anymore! Just tell me what you want in order for you to release my sister. "Han Yunxi's expression was relaxed, as if this was not a very difficult matter.
It had to be said that Han Yunxi's attitude made even the usually calm Deacon Jin somewhat flustered. However, he quickly calmed down.
"Your Highness, my condition is very simple. Return the indenture agreement to me. One hand over the goods, and the other hand over the person. " Deacon Jin said, then added, "Oh right, you have to return the limitless gold card that Mu Ling 'er cheated me out of."
Han Yunxi frowned. "Deacon Jin, I heard that you wanted to give the entire East Valley Bank to Ning Cheng in exchange for an indenture agreement? Ning Cheng didn't agree to it? "
"Heh heh, so that girl Mu Ling 'er is still very valuable." Deacon Jin smiled faintly.
Han Yunxi also smiled. "No, no, no matter how valuable that girl Ling 'er is, she's not as valuable as you, Deacon Jin! How about this, you release Mu Ling 'er and give me the East Valley Bank. I'll give the order that your indenture agreement is void. As for whatever agreement you have with Ning Cheng, it'll also be void. How about it? "
When these words were spoken, not to mention Deacon Jin, even the Fifth Elder was stunned.
If this was not an exorbitant demand, what was it? Where did her confidence come from?
