At 9:30 a.m. the next day, Ye Nan accompanied her mother to Ice and Snow Honey City and stayed there for about half an hour before walking out.
In front of the store, Zhang Hongchao and four salesmen smiled and waved at them like lucky cats. They did not return to the store until the mother and son walked out of the street and could no longer be seen.
As soon as he turned into an intersection, He Li had a suspicious expression on his face.
"Something's wrong...something's wrong! There's something very wrong with this store!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Nan's heart immediately started to worry. Could it be that the group of people didn't cooperate well, and there was a flaw that was discovered by her mother?
"I can't tell you exactly what's wrong..." He Li was a little discouraged, "But this is a bit too smooth, isn't it? A person like me who has never made milk tea or even drank milk tea can actually become a store manager?
"
"What's the point? Obama, a beautiful country, was a university teacher before he was elected president. This is the fate of his life. Who can explain clearly?" Ye Nan explained.
"But their attitude is too good, right? They don't ask me any questions, they just keep introducing the employees there." He Li still didn't understand.
"Well, when we were in school and there was a new teacher in the class, he would ask the students to introduce themselves one by one. Mom, you are going to be the store manager, so they want you to remember their names. There's nothing wrong with that!
"
"Ah! I know!" He Li suddenly shouted.
"What do you know..." Ye Nan sighed helplessly.
"Isn't this a scammer? Isn't this a pyramid scheme? They tricked me into it first, and then they went offline. I saw that in that explosive video, it was so popular!" He Li's eyes showed a gleam of wisdom.
.
"I'll ask the reviewers to take this damn popular science video down later..." Ye Nan said in a resentful voice.
"What did you just say? What was removed?"
"No..." Ye Nan hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Didn't I tell you this? This is a store opened by my friend. That Zhang Hongchao is my friend. Can he still cheat my mother?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot about this..." He Li said suddenly.
"Mom, just go to work peacefully on Monday. There will definitely be no problems." Ye Nan assured He Li.
"Okay, then I'll try it on Monday." He Li nodded and formally agreed.
Hearing that her mother finally agreed, Ye Nan took a long breath,
It’s so hard to trick my mom into going to work!
The key point is that Ye Nan really overestimated the acting skills of the people in the milk tea shop. Although they didn't show any big flaws, there were flaws everywhere!
However, this matter has finally been cleared up, and I hope there will be no other problems later.
In the afternoon, Ye Nan could not go to Lin Qingzhu's house to study together like yesterday. Lin Tao rested at home today, and Lin Qingzhu could only study peacefully at home.
The results of Jiang Wenyao's investigation into Scorpion Tail have come out. He used his extremely large network of contacts and power to screen the various ways in and out of Zhonghai. At first, he did not find anything suspicious. However, Jiang Wenyao did not give up easily, and passed a certain
An extremely secretive channel, and finally a clue was found.
"Spider, an international assassination organization. The third-ranked killer in this organization is codenamed Starscream. He is good at using firearms. I found out through special channels that he recently came to Zhonghai. There is also another news," Jiang Wenyao said here
There was a pause,
"It is said that Scorpion Tail and Spider were the same organization at first, but later they split into two for some reasons. Scorpion Tail is engaged in various illegal international activities, while Spider is engaged in various assassinations."
"You mean this Starscream is probably coming for us?" Ye Nan thought slightly.
"I can't rule out this possibility," Jiang Wenyao's voice was a little heavy, "but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe the person with the scorpion tail is still hiding in the dark. Maybe this Starscream is just a coincidence?"
"We can't let down our guard even if it's just possible," Ye Nan sighed, "Uncle Jiang, can this matter be solved through the power of the country? They should all belong to international terrorist organizations, right?"
Jiang Wenyao was silent for a moment and then sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. I found out about Starscream through an illegal organization. I can't submit it as evidence at all. Once this matter is not handled well, the friends who helped me will be
Everyone will ride in."
"Okay, then there's nothing we can do..." Ye Nan shook his head helplessly, "I'm not worried about myself. After all, there are very few people who know about my grudges with Scorpion Tail. If Scorpion Tail's remnants knew about it, I'm afraid they would have come to seek revenge.
, so I’m more worried that they will target you, Uncle Jiang.”
"I understand," Jiang Wenyao said in a much lower tone, "In the final analysis, this matter still lies with me. When Scorpion Tail kidnapped me, I survived and everyone in Scorpion Tail was wiped out, so it must be right to find me, but I
I am not in Zhonghai now, and I have strengthened the security around me after the last accident, so the problem is not big. The only thing that worries me is..."
"You should be worried about Sister Ling Xue's safety, right?"
"Yes... Ling Xue is in Zhonghai now, and all the affairs there are on her shoulders. I asked her to return to the capital temporarily yesterday, but the child actually refused." Jiang Wenyao's tone revealed a strong sense of worry.
worry,
"Although I have sent many people to protect her, it is too dangerous for her to stay in Zhonghai."
"Try to go out as little as possible. No matter how arrogant that Starscream is, he can't break into the house and commit murder, right?" Ye Nan pondered.
"I think so too, but the invitation letter from the Feng family has arrived. Ling Xue is going to attend the birthday banquet of the Feng family on the 23rd for me. I'm worried that something will go wrong then, so... I want to invite Ye Nan to you that day
Do you think it's okay to accompany Ling Xue?" Jiang Wenyao's tone contained a hint of pleading.
"You want me to attend the Feng family's birthday party?" Ye Nan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"OK, alright."
Jiang Wenyao was immediately overjoyed, "That's great. With Ye Nan and you accompanying Ling Xue, I can rest assured."
The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
The reason why Ye Nan agreed to protect Jiang Lingxue on the 23rd was not entirely because of his relationship with Jiang Lingxue. The bigger reason was actually because of Xu Ming'er.
In order to stabilize his position in Zhonghai, Xu Zhen wanted to take Xu Ming'er to join the Feng family on the 23rd. Although Ye Nan had great confidence in Xu Ming'er, she did not have much confidence in her father-in-law Xu Zhen in her previous life.
And since the Starscream's first target is the Jiang family, when Jiang Wenyao is not in Zhonghai, the possibility of Jiang Lingxue being regarded as a target is also not low, and the Feng family's birthday party is the best time to make a move.
In this way, if Starscream really chooses to take action at that time, not only Jiang Lingxue, but also Xu Ming'er, who is also attending the birthday party, may be in crisis!
In addition, Ye Nan had guessed that the person who sent him the warning letter would probably attend the birthday party. Therefore, Ye Nan had to attend the Feng family's birthday party this time.
