Baili looked at Ning Yue at a loss. Was Ning Yue here to capture this person?

This person was just a small shop assistant. Could he know what the shopkeeper was secretly plotting?

Seeing Baili’s puzzled expression, Ning Yue could roughly guess what he was thinking. However, now was not the time to explain. Everything was going according to plan.

“Heroine and hero. Is there anything else you want to know? Ask me. I’ll answer you if I know.” The man was trembling so much that his pants were about to fall off.

Ning Yue looked at him in disdain. This person was so spineless. Why did the shopkeeper put this person in an important position? Was it just because of nepotism?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Why did your brother-in-law ask you to help him in the restaurant?” Ning Yue asked.

That person was puzzled. Why were they asking these questions? “Because I’m my sister’s younger brother. Shouldn’t he, as her brother-in-law, support me?”

Ning Yue was shocked by this robber’s reason. Just because the shop assistant was the younger brother of the shopkeeper’s wife, the shopkeeper should support him?

No, that wasn’t the point. She asked again, “Who buys the goods in the shop? Who delivers them to the shop?”

“My brother-in-law personally imported the goods. I don’t know the delivery man,” the shop assistant said softly.

Don’t know him? Ning Yue was a little puzzled.

“Are the deliveries fixed?” she asked.

The shop assistant replied honestly, “Of course not. How can it be fixed? If it’s fixed, how can my brother-in-law earn money?”

“Then do you know where your brother-in-law bought the goods?” Ning Yue asked again.

He frowned and thought for a while before answering Ning Yue, “There’s no fixed supply. In any case, the supply point won’t be repeated. Brother-in-law said that we have to ensure that the supply point won’t be repeated so that we won’t be caught.”

So that was the case. Ning Yue nodded and asked, “In that case, where’s the goods the higher-ups found for you?”

That person was stunned. “You, you’re part of the higher ups?”

“Why do you care so much? I’m asking you a question. Are you going to answer?” Ning Yue asked coldly.

“Yes, yes, yes, I understand.” The shop assistant swallowed.

“What’s your name? What’s your position in the restaurant?” Ning Yue asked.

“My name is Guang Yao. It’s the accounting room,” Guang Yao said.

Guang Yao? When Baili heard his surname, he frowned. Ning Yue also noticed Baili and gave him a look.

Baili understood what Ning Yue meant and went forward to knock Guang Yao out. “Princess, what should we do with this person?”

Ning Yue asked instead, “What did you think of just now?”

“Princess, I think his name is a little strange. This surname is very rare,” Baili said.

Ning Yue was stunned. She kept recalling the memories in her mind. She didn’t seem to have any memories of the surname Guang. She asked Baili, “What’s strange?”

“This surname is the surname of the Huang family of the previous dynasty. It should be gone,” Baili said.

“Maybe they’re from a side family?” Ning Yue said.

Baili nodded. “That’s possible. It’s just a surname. It’s nothing.”

Ning Yue nodded and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She asked Baili to bring her to Prince Jin’s residence first.

When Jiang Ying found out, he hurriedly followed over to see what was going on.

Ning Yue briefly recounted the situation. Jiang Ying was very shocked. “Is it Uncle Emperor’s men?”

“Yes, I thought that after encountering these things, the deterrence would be better. They were obedient at first, but towards the end, I was overwhelmed by Lian Xin’s matter and didn’t have the time to look at them, so it became like this.”

Ning Yue felt a little helpless when she said this. Jiang Ying nodded and asked her, “Do you need my help?”

When Ning Yue heard this, she smiled. “There’s no need for that now, but I’ll definitely look for you for help in the future.”

“Okay.” Jiang Ying smiled back.

Before he could speak, Uncle Su’s voice suddenly sounded. “Heir, bad news! The entrance to the prince’s residence is blocked by refugees!”

What? Ning Yue was shocked. Prince Jin’s residence was in the capital.. With the security here, how could the refugees enter? How could they reach Prince Jin’s residence and block the entrance?
