Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1213 Expulsion Order

He changed the subject and went straight to the point: "After Murong Jin went back, was he dazed and dull, unable to remember anything before he went mad?"

Murong Zheng was startled and nodded subconsciously.

Murong Jin was taken home, and it was as if she had lost her memory; she couldn't remember anything.

Otherwise, the family wouldn't have searched the entire capital for the person behind it all.

"He wasn't being manipulated; he took his own memory-corroding pill."

Jiang Xiaochuan said with certainty, "If it weren't for this pill giving him courage, he wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on Tang Ran even if he had ten times the courage."

"Memory-Eroding Pill?"

Murong Zheng muttered to himself. As the eldest son of Murong Bogu, Murong Zheng was not without power in the family.

He held the reins of the family's daily finances.

A memory suddenly flashed through his mind—two days ago, Murong Jin did indeed withdraw 200 million from the family account under the pretext of "urgent need," saying he wanted to buy a rare pill.

He didn't ask many questions at the time, but now that he thinks about it, that pill was clearly the Memory-Eroding Pill!

Upon realizing this, Murong Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, which streamed down his face and soaked his collar.

If what Jiang Xiaochuan said is true, and Murong Jin really offended Tang Ran, how could the Murong family withstand the wrath of the Yan Army?

Previously, he relied on the fact that his father, Murong Bogu, had a slight relationship with Xuanjizi of Yanlu, so he could exchange a few words with him when things happened.

However, this friendship has been severed ever since Murong Jin was expelled from the Yan Brigade.

What's worse is that they've kept the fact that Murong Jin was kicked out of the Yan Brigade a secret, afraid of being laughed at by other aristocratic families and losing face.

If Yan Lü were to hold them accountable again, not only would they lose face, but the very foundation of their family might be shaken.

Two devastating blows in a row were too much for even the Murong family to withstand!

The atmosphere in the dark room completely changed; Murong Zheng's arrogance vanished, leaving only deep panic.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I had been to the Murong family with Lao Liu before and found out their background. Otherwise, I would probably have become their prisoner long ago, let alone restrain Murong Zheng.

Thinking about it this way, that seemingly unreliable fat man is actually a lucky charm.

Suppressing these distracting thoughts, Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyes and looked directly at Murong Zheng.

"To be honest, I have some connection with the leader of the Yan Brigade. He sent Tang Ran here this time, ostensibly to investigate the Japanese, but in reality, his main purpose was to protect my personal safety."

With a somewhat authoritative air, Jiang Xiaochuan said calmly, "Your 'good son' dares to have ulterior motives towards Tang Ran. This is putting me in a difficult position."

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

It would be ideal to use this pretext, under the name of the Yan Brigade, to intimidate the Huangfu and Situ families.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen.

They guessed that Murong Jin had offended the Yan Brigade, but they didn't expect that Jiang Xiaochuan would win the favor of the Yan Brigade leader.

But Huangfu Jingzhai's surprise vanished in an instant, and his eyes returned to their coldness.

Jiang Xiaochuan's reputation for cunning has long been firmly established, so this statement is most likely false.

Now, all he's doing is using his silver tongue to turn a seemingly hopeless situation into his own.

If this kid doesn't submit when the month is up, he'll make sure he dies a horrible death.

Murong Zheng listened attentively; the negotiating intent in Jiang Xiaochuan's words was all too clear.

If Jiang Xiaochuan wasn't joking, this condition doesn't seem like it's impossible to refuse.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he asked in a dry voice, "What exactly do you mean?"

"It's very simple."

Jiang Xiaochuan cut to the chase, giving the other party no room for hesitation, "Tang Ran is with me now. If the Murong family can ensure that I can completely extricate myself from this mess of Tang Long's, then..."

“I can try to persuade her not to expose Murong Jin’s matter to the Yan Brigade headquarters.”

His confidence stemmed from his certainty about Tang Ran's personality.

Given her fierce nature, she would certainly not seek help from Yan Lü; she would only seek justice herself.

How can I believe your one-sided story?

Murong Zheng's face turned pale. This matter was far too big for him to handle.

At this moment, all he could think about was finding his father, Murong Bogu, as soon as possible to report and let the old man make a decision. "I have to go back and investigate thoroughly."

"Please."

Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't wait for him to leave, his tone urging him on.

"Humph!"

Murong Zheng snorted coldly in resentment, his mind filled with absurdity—he had clearly come to capture Jiang Xiaochuan as a scapegoat, so how did he end up being caught by the other party?

But he dared not linger, fearing that things might change if he delayed any longer. He hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice to Yun Chongshan behind him, "Let's go!"

The red cloth was suddenly pulled open, and Murong Zheng quickly left with his retainers.

"Patriarch Murong, don't keep me waiting too long."

Jiang Xiaochuan added from behind him, "Otherwise, I can't guarantee I can persuade Tang Ran."

Murong Zheng paused, but didn't turn around. His figure looked somewhat disheveled as he quickly disappeared at the end of the passage.

Seeing this, Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen also got up and followed.

The situation is now clear: Tang Long is most likely hiding in the Murong family. They must go together to prevent the Murong family from secretly taking matters into their own hands and keeping the secret to themselves.

When Huangfu Jingzhai passed by Jiang Xiaochuan, his eyes were cold as ice, and he didn't say a word.

Situ Zhen gave him an approving look, but didn't dare linger and hurriedly followed.

Jiang Xiaochuan walked out of the dark room and saw Qing Shanhe sitting at the tea table, playing with a purple clay teapot in his hand. A pot of hot tea had already been brewed on the table.

"Young Master Jiang is indeed extraordinary."

Qing Shanhe looked up, his tone tinged with admiration, "This quick thinking and ability to turn danger into safety is truly admirable."

"Mr. Qing, you flatter me. I was just going with the flow."

Jiang Xiaochuan cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for speaking up for me earlier, sir. I will remember this kindness."

"What are you talking about?"

Qing Shanhe waved his hand and handed him a cup of tea, saying, "It was just a small favor."

Jiang Xiaochuan took the teacup, and with the help of the rising steam, his gaze swept over the other person without making a sound.

He had originally planned to use the opportunity of taking the pulse to get closer to the man, but the reclusive tycoon in front of him had a rosy complexion and steady breathing, and he could not find even the slightest trace of illness.

"What is Young Master Jiang looking at?"

Qing Shanhe noticed his gaze and asked with a smile.

"nothing."

Jiang Xiaochuan calmly sipped his tea, concealing the fleeting regret within the aroma.

"It's getting late, I'll see Young Master Jiang out."

"A gesture to evict you?"

Judging from Qing Shanhe's previous actions, he clearly had some expectations of himself.

He had hoped to take this opportunity to have a conversation with the other party, but unexpectedly he was told to leave.

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't press the matter further and put down his teacup, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

Along the way, Qing Shanhe only asked a few questions about the scar removal cream he had heard about before, and didn't talk about anything else, being very cautious.

Jiang Xiaochuan was also well aware that with his current status, he had not yet truly caught the eye of this reclusive tycoon, and could only take things slowly.

If the elixir were offered as a form of incentive at this point, it would likely provoke resistance from this top businessman.

It's likely that he's mostly considering his own interests when he acts, so it's best not to overdo it.

The two walked to the gate of Dingyun Palace and were about to say goodbye.

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly noticed someone sweeping the floor not far away, their movements slightly stiff.
