The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Since it's Shuang'er you who chose the husband, then of course Daddy has to ask about his situation. What if he has ulterior motives?" Master Lan didn't let go of these questions just because Lan Shuang was acting coquettishly towards him. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of tea. "Besides, our Shuang'er is so pretty, so of course Daddy has to help you screen him carefully!"

Lan Shuang wanted to say something, but Zeng Wenyu gently pulled her hand and she stopped talking.

When Mr. Lan saw this scene, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"Uncle, I can answer all the questions you asked me. I was born far away from Andong City. My parents have passed away and I only have a little sister who is lost. As for my job, I can't tell you now." Zeng Wenyu watched as Master Lan's face began to change. Of course, it became darker instead of better. "Xiao Shuang and I met in the military camp in the border city. We went through a war together before."

After hearing the second half, Master Lan's expression improved a little. He knew about the war that the border city had experienced before, but he still found it hard to believe that Zeng Wenyu and Lan Shuang had experienced life and death together.

"Uncle, I joined the Third Army guarding the border city at that time."

Master Lan frowned again: "How did you, a man, join the Women's Army? You don't have any special fetishes, do you?"

"Dad! It was Sister Hua who recruited Wenyu into the Third Army!"

Even though Zeng Wenyu didn't let Lan Shuang speak, when she heard her father say that Zeng Wenyu had a special hobby, Lan Shuang couldn't help but speak.

"Sister Hua? Hua Wu Yue?"

"Uncle knows Sister Hua?"

"How could I not know her? The eldest daughter of the Hua family next door is now a general of the Third Army guarding the border city..." Master Lan paused here, "You were recruited into the Third Army by Wu Yue. Wu Yue is quite good at judging people, and she was able to rise step by step from the bottom to the position of general of the Third Army without relying on the Hua family. There should be nothing wrong with her vision."

"Right, Dad, so don't make things difficult for Wenyu."

"Dad is not trying to make things difficult for him, I just feel that you suddenly brought a kid back home, and Dad is a little overwhelmed for a while."

Mr. Lan no longer made things difficult for Zeng Wenyu, but Zeng Wenyu was, after all, the pig who took his beloved daughter away, so he would not be too kind to Zeng Wenyu.

"Uncle, I have something to tell you, I wonder..."

"Just tell me what's going on. There's nothing at home that Shuang'er can't hear."

"OK then……"

Zeng Wenyu closed the door of the study and briefly told Mr. Lan about Li Pingping's situation. After listening to Zeng Wenyu's story, Mr. Lan frowned and tapped lightly on the table with his right hand.

After a long while, Master Lan raised his head and said, "Are you sure? Are you sure that City Lord Li and the eldest son want to do that? And there are spies arranged by the eldest son in my house?"

"These are all the information that the maidservant next to Li Pingping told me. I am sure she would not lie, so there must be someone in your house, uncle. I just don't know who it is. But think about it, is there anyone who has been promoted very easily in recent years, and who can always do things very well, while others in the same period have more or less bad luck."

"If you say so, there really is such a person in my house, and he is now the manager of my Lan's Trading Company..." Master Lan stood up and walked outside the study, asking the servants to call the Uncle Lan mentioned by Lan Shuang before, "Old Lan, go to the Chamber of Commerce and ask An Ruquan to come to the Lan Mansion."

After Uncle Lan left, Master Lan returned to the study and sat in his seat. Looking at Master Lan, Zeng Wenyu asked, "Uncle, that housekeeper Lan..."

"Don't worry, Lao Lan grew up with me. He had been working at home before City Lord Li took charge of Andong City. He can definitely be trusted."

After Master Lan said this, Zeng Wenyu had no reason to doubt it. Just like Master Lan said, that was the person who grew up with him. If even such a person was a spy planted by the City Lord's Mansion, then there would be no good people in the entire Lan Mansion.

About half an hour later, Uncle Lan brought a young man to the study. Zeng Wenyu looked at the young man in front of him. This should be An Ruquan mentioned by Master Lan before. However, he believed that the name An Ruquan should also be a pseudonym, just like the name "Xiao Que'er" that Huang Quan used when approaching Li Pingping.

An Ruquan walked into the study and bowed to Master Lan: "President? I wonder what the president wants me to do? There are still many things to be dealt with in the Chamber of Commerce."

"Xiao Quan, I want to apologize to you first for what happened today."

Master Lan said this to An Ruquan, then he winked at Uncle Lan who was standing next to An Ruquan. Uncle Lan immediately understood and locked An Ruquan's hands behind his back.

"President? President, what are you doing? If I have made any mistakes, can you tell me what you are going to do?"

After seeing Uncle Lan controlling An Ruquan, Master Lan explained to him, "Xiaoquan, some people say that you are a spy planted in my Lan Mansion by the city lord's eldest son."

"Who? Who is slandering me? President, I have worked hard for the Chamber of Commerce for so many years. How can you believe the words of outsiders? I am innocent!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether he's wronged or not. Old Lan, take him down for questioning," Master Lan said to Uncle Lan, then turned to An Ruquan and said, "Xiao Quan, if you're not a spy, I'll personally apologize to you and promote you again. But if you're a spy, considering your contributions to the Chamber of Commerce over the years, I won't get rid of you, but I'll put you under house arrest."

He winked at Uncle Lan, and Uncle Lan took An Ruquan out of the study. Now they would know whether An Ruquan was a spy or not just by waiting for Uncle Lan to finish the interrogation.

Half an hour later, Uncle Lan came to the study alone. He looked very bad. When Master Lan saw his face, he knew what was going on.

"It seems that City Lord Li and the eldest son have great ambitions, but are they really not afraid of the suppression from the Central Imperial City? Not to mention our business, even the princes from all over the country will be ruthlessly suppressed if they dare to resist the Central Imperial City. What exactly do City Lord Li and the eldest son want to do?" At this point, Master Lan raised his head and looked at Zeng Wenyu, "Tell me, how do I need to cooperate with you? The young master should have a plan, right?"

"Uncle, can you ask the head of the Hua family to come as well?" Seeing the puzzled look in Master Lan's eyes, Zeng Wenyu explained, "My mission is to kidnap the heads of the Wang, Lan, and Hua families who support City Lord Li. But since you are willing to surrender, and the head of the Hua family is Sister Hua's father, I think if possible, it would be best to persuade the head of the Hua family to..."

"It's not impossible to ask Lao Hua to come, but there must be spies in Lao Hua's place, right? And how can you make him trust you? You know, Lao Hua won't trust you easily."

"Uncle, don't worry. I believe I can make the head of the Hua family believe me."

"Okay, since you are so confident, then Lao Lan, go and invite Lao Hua over. I want to see how this kid plans to persuade Lao Hua."

After a while, the head of the Hua family was invited over by Uncle Lan. Unlike Master Lan, the head of the Hua family looked older, but he was more energetic than Master Lan. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted and asked Master Lan what he was doing.
