Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

"You have something to report?"

Xue Wenyan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the housekeeper's words.

This butler has followed him for many years and is not someone who does not know the importance of things.

In this situation, the butler still came to see him, so... there must be something big!

Xue Wenyan smiled faintly and said to everyone, "Everyone, I might have something going on at home. I'm going to go out and take a look. Don't worry about me. Continue drinking. I'll be back later!"

After Xue Wenyan finished speaking, he ignored everyone's gazes, stood up and walked outside the restaurant.

And when Xue Wenyan saw the dusty Mr. Xue San and Jiang Chen, he was even more shocked!

"You... why are you here!?"

"Second Uncle! Xue Bin...something happened to him!" When Third Master Xue saw Xue Wenyan, he hurried over.

"What!?"

Xue Wenyan was stunned when he heard this!

He just left Jinchuan County a few days ago!

Something happened to Xue Bin! ?

This...what is going on! ?

Even if Xue Bin was looking for trouble, it couldn't be this fast! ?

Moreover, Jiang Chen and Mr. Xue San are here too!

Isn't there something going on between Jiang Chen and Xue Bin? What on earth did Xue Bin do?

"Third brother, please be careful, what happened to Xue Bin? " Xue Wenyan asked through gritting his teeth.

"Uncle, Xue Bin has been kidnapped by bandits. They want five thousand taels of gold!"

Mr. Xue Sanye told the whole story of his encounter with the bandits.

But when Xue Wenyan heard what Master Xue San said, he was even more shocked!

"Bandits dare to kidnap Xue Bin?"

"They don't want to live anymore, right?!"

"Where are these bandits from?!"

It’s no wonder Xue Wenyan was shocked.

After all, he had been operating in Jinchuan County for many years, and those bandits were actually trained by him!

How could these bandits kidnap his son?

This... this is absolutely impossible!

Could it be... foreign bandits! ?

……

"Old Third, did those bandits tell me where to pay the money?"

"How many of them are there?"

"Also, did they... introduce themselves?"

Xue Wenyan hurriedly asked Mr. Xue Sanye.

Third Master Xue thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, there are only three bandits, and they didn't reveal their identities. They...they agreed to pay the ransom in a valley near Mopan Mountain."

"Mopan Mountain!?"

Hearing this place name, Xue Wenyan's face instantly turned ugly!

He thought of a terrible possibility.

That is... this group of bandits are the remnants of the Mopanshan bandits!

The last time he tried to eradicate the problem, he didn't kill everyone!

After hearing what Mr. Xue San said, Jiang Chen also thought the same thing as the county magistrate.

Because, if those bandits were the remnants of the Mopanshan bandits, then everything would be understandable!

Those bandits originally wanted to ask Xue Wenyan and Xue Bin for money!

But Xue Wenyan not only refused to give them, but also wanted to kill them to silence them!

Now, the bandits in Mopan Mountain saw that Xue Wenyan was so inhumane, so they kidnapped Xue Bin for revenge and money.

This...it all makes sense.

I just don’t know what choice Xue Wenyan will make!

However, Jiang Chen felt that Xue Wenyan would not let those bandits leave!

Just as Jiang Chen was thinking this, he raised his head and was shocked to find that Xue Wenyan was also looking at him!

Could it be that... Xue Wenyan noticed that he was in a bad mood! ?

"Uncle, nothing must happen to my brother Xue Bin!"

"This... please make a decision quickly!" Jiang Chen hurriedly put on an anxious look.

When Xue Wenyan heard Jiang Chen's words, he took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Chen, Third Brother, you guys go back to my house first. This matter can't be rushed, and it can't be leaked out. I'll take care of the banquet and go back right away!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen and Mr. Xue Sanye respectfully accepted the order, and then hurriedly followed the butler and left!

……

"Brother Xue, is everything alright?"

As soon as Xue Wenyan returned to the banquet, County Magistrate Chen Guang stood up.

"It's okay, it's okay. There's a little thing going on at home. Come on! Let's drink together!" Xue Wenyan pretended to be calm and continued drinking with everyone.

But at this moment, Xue Wenyan was still thinking about Xue Bin.

He can take out five thousand taels of gold.

After all, he has made a lot of money over the years.

But... give money to the bandits and bow to them.

That's not the way to go!

Moreover, if the bandits get the money and harm Xue Bin, then... what should we do! ?

No!

This matter must be properly resolved!

On the other side, Jiang Chen and Mr. Xue San returned to Xue Wenyan’s house and came to the hall.

The housekeeper went to prepare meals for the two of them.

But Third Master Xue was worried at this time: "Second brother, what do you think...what should we do about this matter?!"

"Brother, don't worry, Second Uncle will definitely find a way!" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"This……"

When Mr. Xue heard what Jiang Chen said, he sighed helplessly.

"Alas! Xue Bin got into trouble when he was with me. He...he is my second uncle's only son. If anything happened to him, I...how could I face my second uncle!"

Xue Bin has received a lot of care from Xue Wenyan since he was a child, so Xue Wenyan naturally doesn't want to see anything happen to Xue Bin!

Jiang Chen felt a little sorry to see Third Master Xue like this and planned to comfort him.

……

But before Jiang Chen could open his mouth, a silver bell-like voice came from the door.

"Jiang Chen! It's really you!"

Xue Linglong ran in excitedly!

She just heard the maid say that Jiang Chen was here, and she couldn't believe it.

But she didn't expect that when she arrived in the hall, she really saw Jiang Chen!

"Miss Linglong."

Jiang Chen saw Xue Linglong revealing a faint smile.

"Jiang Chen, why are you here? Are you here to look for my father?"

"He's not at home, come with me!"

Xue Linglong said happily, then pulled Jiang Chen and ran towards the backyard!

"This……"

Jiang Chen looked embarrassed!

What is Xue Linglong going to do?

He...he has something else to do!

But Xue Linglong didn't care what Jiang Chen thought.

She pulled Jiang Chen all the way to her own small courtyard!

"Jiang Chen, do you think my little yard is beautiful?"

“There are a lot of flowers here~”

After arriving at the courtyard, Xue Linglong said happily.

But Jiang Chen took two steps back and distanced himself from Xue Linglong.

"Miss Linglong, your yard is very beautiful, congratulations." Jiang Chen said lightly.

But when Xue Linglong saw Jiang Chen's cold look, she was stunned!

She felt like Jiang Chen seemed to be estranged from her!

"Jiang Chen, you...what's wrong with you?"

"Did... did something happen to you?"

"Tell me if you encounter any problems, and I will ask my father to help you!"

Xue Linglong said this with a worried look on her face, and she kept moving forward until she was in front of Jiang Chen!

"This……"

When Jiang Chen saw Xue Linglong approaching, his face couldn't help but become hesitant.

Although Xue Linglong is a little bit unruly, she is not a bad person.

And, she is beautiful.

To be honest, Jiang Chen likes Xue Linglong very much.

However, he cannot get too close to Xue Linglong!

Because, he had already decided to kill Xue Bin!

If he gets too close to Xue Linglong, how will he face Xue Linglong in the future?
