"Manager Mu."

Jiang Jiang looked at Mu Kang and asked, "Do you know her? What's her background?"

This Bai Tan'er appeared inexplicably and is a strange person.

The most important thing is...

Jiang Jiang had never seen the character "Bai Tan'er" appear in the original plot of the novel.

But Jiang Jiang's intuition told her that Bai Tan'er's identity must be complicated.

"That white lady, I just feel familiar. I'm old and my memory is not good. I can't remember where I have seen her before."

Mu Kang still had a smile on his face, and he shook his head in self-deprecating manner while speaking.

It was obvious that Mu Kang knew Bai Tan'er's identity, but he didn't want to say it.

Jiang Jiang didn't go so far as to ask questions. Judging from Mu Kang's attitude, Bai Tan'er was at least... not an enemy.

Just not the enemy.

Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yanhuan, who was standing by, couldn't wait to drag Jiang Jiang to her yard. She had a lot to say to Jiang Jiang...

Outside the gate of Gu Mansion.

Ma Xiaoqi walked out with an indifferent expression.

"Xiao Qi." A tall man walked quickly to Ma Xiao Qi's side and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you find out anything?"

"What do you think?" Ma Xiaoqi rolled her eyes at the man. "We have no evidence at all, so I'm really thankful that the Gu family is treating me well."

"How about we capture Zhang Fugui and question him?" The man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly suggested.

Ma Xiaoqi elbowed the man in the chest and said angrily, "Lian Feng, are you crazy? Our main mission is to capture Zhao Guanglei. The affairs of the Meng and Gu families have nothing to do with us. So, you accepted money from the Meng family and want to be their running dog?"

"No, absolutely not." Lian Feng shrank his neck and shook his head desperately.

"That's good. I've even come to the Gu family, which is considered giving enough face to the Meng family. Come on, follow me out of the city. I will catch that liar today no matter what!"

Whenever Ma Xiaoqi thought of Master Zhao, she was filled with anger. She had clearly intercepted him last night, but on the way to take him back to the Divine Police Department, the old man suddenly said that he had a stomachache and couldn't hold it anymore, so he went to untie his belt.

Ma Xiaoqi subconsciously dodged, and then the guy threw a handful of lime at her and ran away!

Shameless old liar!

If I catch you again this time, I will make you pay!

Although the story of Mantanghong was suppressed by the Divine Constables, it became more and more bizarre in the capital. Just when everyone was still discussing the fox demon story of Mantanghong, a new story book quietly appeared in the capital.

"The Red Fox Girl", the author is signed as Mr. Liao Zhai.

Because it happened to take advantage of the popularity of Mantanghong, the Red Fox Girl became a hit in Beijing as soon as it was released, and the copy was hard to come by...

When "Red Fox Girl" was selling well, the shop in the center of Baxingfang also quietly began to renovate.

Countless people passing by Baxingfang could see that the building was surrounded by wide wooden boards, and the inside could not be seen from the outside.

A few days later, passers-by noticed that someone had started painting on the wooden boards surrounding the shop.

This is really novel——

Not only did they cordon off the store so people couldn't see it, but they even went so far as to paint outside.

The people of Qingyun Kingdom had never seen such a scene, but Jiang Jiang had seen more of it in modern times, so this could be considered a form of publicity.

Yunyue hired several painters to draw some silhouettes on the fence.

That’s right, it’s character silhouettes, just like those celebrity silhouettes that are used in modern variety shows to attract attention.

As soon as those silhouettes were drawn, they attracted countless people's attention——

What do those silhouettes represent?

Who is the painting?

Why does the silhouette in the middle have two pointed ears on its head?

What exactly does this store do?

All of a sudden, passers-by in Baxingfang began to speculate. This mysterious shop, which was still under renovation, had unknowingly attracted the attention of countless people.

Jiang Jiang has been very busy these days. Every morning when he wakes up, he goes to Yanlou to supervise the work.

Renovating several floors is not a small project. Fortunately, there are many skilled craftsmen in Muwa Lane, and Jiang Chaosheng also has his own connections in the Ministry of Industry and can introduce them to some good material merchants.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang."

A little fat boy ran to Jiang Jiang.

This little fat boy is Zhang Fugui's son, named Zhang Fulai. After the construction of Yanlou started, Zhang Fugui called him over to help. Zhang Fulai's main task is to help Jiang Jiang run errands and do some handy work.

It is called "good exercise".

"Fulai, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jiang saw Zhang Fulai running towards her and asked him casually.

"Mr. Jiang, Adong from Fusheng Bookstore is here. He asked you to go to the bookstore." Zhang Fulai ran to Jiang Jiang and answered.

Adong is the person Uncle Ping asked to look after the store, and he will also help Jiang Jiang look after her warehouse.

Fortunately, the weather has been dry and there has been no rain recently, so Jiang Jiang hasn't been there for several days.

"Okay, I'll go to the bookstore first. You can keep an eye on this for me."

Jiang Jiang took off the sleeve with the word "Supervisor" embroidered on it, threw it to Zhang Fulai, and then turned and left.

Zhang Fulai took the sleeve and looked at the two big words on it, his eyes shining -

He has learned a lot from following Jiang Dongjia these days. Especially every time he sees Jiang Dongjia wearing the "supervisor" sign and giving orders, Zhang Fulai is always eager to make a move.

Tsk tsk, today, he is also the supervisor!

**

Fu Sheng Bookstore.

Since Pingshu and Yanchong left, the bookstore has been closed. Adong is only responsible for looking after the house and the warehouse, not for selling books. However, today, the bookstore is open.

Jiang Jiang had just walked to the door of the bookstore when she saw a familiar figure busy there, and her steps paused slightly.

"Miss Jiang, you're here!"

At this time, the people in the bookstore turned around and saw Jiang Jiang.

Uncle Ping smiled and greeted Jiang Jiang, then said, "A Chong is packing up in the backyard, go find him."

"Ah."

Jiang Jiang nodded, and then walked towards the backyard as if she was familiar with the route.

It was still the same small and simple room, and still the same familiar tall and straight figure.

When Jiang Jiang walked to the door, he paused slightly——

She still remembered that Yan Chong and Uncle Ping left the capital in early May, and today was already the second day of June.

They were gone for a month.

A month is actually not a long time.

but……

For some reason, Jiang Jiang felt that the Yan Chong in front of her seemed different from the Yan Chong a month ago.

"Jiang Jiang?"

Gu Yanqing in the room had actually discovered Jiang Jiang a long time ago.

He was very familiar with the sound of her footsteps.

But for some reason, Jiang Jiang stopped outside the door and didn't come in.

Gu Yanqing had no choice but to put down what he was holding, turned around and pretended to have discovered her.

"Yan Chong, you're back!"

Jiang Jiang also came back to her senses at this time and smiled at Yan Chong: "You've lost a bit of weight. It must have been hard on the road, right?"

In this era without high-speed trains or airplanes, it is really a pain to travel long distances.

"Not bad. By the way, I brought you some Hezhou specialties."

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he brought the specialties that he had prepared for Jiang Jiang to the table.
