Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1211 A Useless Piece of Rice

"you are right!"

Jiang Xiaochuan said calmly, "As far as I know, Tang Long is hiding in one of the three family heads' homes."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen both paused slightly, their eyes filled with shock.

Meanwhile, a storm was brewing in Murong Zheng's heart.

Bringing Tang Long into the Murong family was done in an extremely secretive way; even the core members of the family knew about it. How could Jiang Xiaochuan possibly know?

On second thought, this was just a trick by Jiang Xiaochuan to escape in the chaos.

As a core figure of a prestigious family, he possessed considerable shrewdness. Murong Zheng's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Nonsense! Since you refuse to tell the truth, then you'll have to kneel down and say it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he said in a deep voice to the person behind him, "Please ask Uncle Yun to make him kneel down!"

The white-haired old man standing behind Murong Zheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing this.

In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from his body.

"slow!"

Jiang Xiaochuan was not afraid at all and took half a step forward. "Patriarch Murong, do you really want me to make things clear and embarrass everyone?"

"Hmph, it's just spreading rumors and misleading the public, what's there to say! What do you two brothers think?"

As he spoke, Murong Zheng's eyes unconsciously glanced at Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen, fearing that the two would be persuaded by Jiang Xiaochuan.

"Ah."

Huangfu Jingzhai nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Murong Zheng's words, but an aura of detachment lingered around him.

He was already wary of Murong Zheng, and although he outwardly agreed, he had already memorized Jiang Xiaochuan's words and was secretly plotting how to verify them.

The alliance of the three families was based on shared interests, and if the Murong family was truly hiding something, he would not hesitate to break off relations.

Situ Zhen hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

He knew perfectly well that Jiang Xiaochuan was insightful and wouldn't speak recklessly based on just one side of the story.

However, the three parties have just formed an alliance. If they were to turn against each other rashly, it would only allow outsiders to reap the benefits.

It would be better to stabilize the situation first, see what evidence Jiang Xiaochuan can produce, and leave ourselves a way out.

Seeing that the two did not immediately question him, Murong Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but cold sweat quietly soaked his back.

The plan to bring Tang Long back to the Murong family was personally orchestrated by his father, Murong Bogu. He not only utilized the family's secret treasury's hidden resources but also had the enshrined Yun Chongshan personally oversee the outer perimeter. During this time, not even a single bird was spared, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

He was absolutely certain that Jiang Xiaochuan was bluffing.

Before he could even catch his breath, Jiang Xiaochuan's voice rang out again, "Tang Long is at the Murong family's house!"

"You, you dare to fabricate something out of thin air!"

Murong Zheng had expected this, but the blunt accusation still made him tense, and he slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"With Mr. Qing vouching for this, he must know where Tang Long is. Do you think you can escape alive by stirring things up like this?!"

“Jiang Xiaochuan, you need to provide evidence to support your claims. Making things up out of thin air and slandering a prestigious family without concrete proof is no joke. The reputation of a great family cannot be insulted.”

Situ Zhen spoke up at the opportune moment, seemingly criticizing Jiang Xiaochuan, but actually implying that he should produce solid evidence, and also subtly giving Jiang Xiaochuan a way out.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Situ, I naturally won't make things up without evidence."

Jiang Xiaochuan noticed the softening in Situ Zhen's tone and his eyes became even more determined. "I personally witnessed the key clues in this matter; it is by no means fabricated."

"Hmph, I'd like to hear what nonsense you have to spout!"

Murong Zheng snorted coldly, but felt somewhat at ease.

He didn't believe that Jiang Xiaochuan could really see through the inescapable trap his father had laid.

“My two elder brothers, this boy has so insulted the Murong family. He should be crippled on the spot to uphold the family’s honor!”

"But our three families have a prior agreement to jointly investigate the secret, so I will spare his life for now, so that he can explain himself and prove the innocence of my Murong family!"

As long as Jiang Xiaochuan cannot provide concrete evidence, it will be considered a slander against the aristocratic family. At that time, not only will the suspicion be cleared, but Jiang Xiaochuan can also be dealt with in a justifiable manner.

"Does the Murong family head really think that your family's heir, Murong Jin, would suddenly go crazy and run naked onto the overpass to throw a tantrum?"

Jiang Xiaochuan spoke slowly, but his words hit the nail on the head.

"Bastard thing!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Zheng instantly exploded, roaring, "Could it be that you did this?!"

This is a tremendous disgrace to the Murong family, which has not only spread throughout the internet but has also become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circles.

He always knew in his heart that although Murong Jin was a playboy, he could never be that crazy; he was clearly being manipulated by someone in secret.

Since last night, the Murong family has been secretly investigating the person behind the scenes.

Jiang Xiaochuan's words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into his wounds.

"Since your heir can be manipulated without anyone noticing, it's not unreasonable for me to know that you're hiding Tang Long's secret, is it?"

Jiang Xiaochuan neither admitted nor denied it. He glanced at Murong Zheng, whose face was gloomy, and couldn't help but tease him, "There's a saying that goes, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place.'"

None of the three were fools. Jiang Xiaochuan's words were an implicit admission that he was the mastermind behind nailing the Murong family to the pillar of shame.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaochuan wasn't a reckless fool, he must have known the consequences of his words.

Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen simultaneously recalled the message relayed by the family's ancestral worshipper the previous night:

They had roughly located Tang Long's hiding place, but just as they were heading there with full confidence, Tang Long vanished into thin air.

The two of them initially thought that Tang Long was cunning and had gone into hiding again.

However, if a powerful, reclusive member of the Murong family were to intervene and take Tang Long away without anyone noticing, it would be entirely plausible.

"Xiao Chuan, are you telling the truth?"

Situ Zhen immediately spoke up to confirm.

He never intended to completely offend Jiang Xiaochuan by pressing him for answers.

But she wasn't sure if Jiang Xiaochuan was lying, so she kept quiet.

It now seems highly likely that Jiang Xiaochuan was pushed out as a scapegoat by Tang Long.

If we don't express our stance now, it will only become more difficult to get Jiang Xiaochuan to work for the Situ family in the future.

"Why would I fabricate something completely unfounded and try to pin the blame on myself?"

Jiang Xiaochuan spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Zhen nodded in deep agreement, and his gaze toward Murong Zheng became more scrutinizing.

"uncertain."

Huangfu Jingzhai slowly shook his head at this moment, "This boy is full of tricks, and this matter needs to be investigated further."

In his view, compared to Tang Long's secret, the one-month agreement with Jiang Xiaochuan was insignificant and had to be treated with utmost care.

Moreover, he was so confident back then that he wanted Jiang Xiaochuan to be his dog, but now it seems that he was far too overconfident.

According to his understanding, Jiang Xiaochuan now wields considerable power and has even resorted to using pills to recruit people.

When the one-month agreement expires, no one knows how far he will expand his power.

In this way, Jiang Xiaochuan became like a chicken rib in his eyes – tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
