Chapter 896: Chapter 870 He Really Ca
Huangfu Jing’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number, but the caller ID indicated it was from Donglin City.
Huangfu Jing’s eyebrows twitched slightly; after a brief hesitation, she answered the call. A familiar voice ca through: “It’s .”
Hearing this voice, Huangfu Jing froze as if struck by lightning. Her expression imdiately beca sowhat excited: “Tangyu, it’s you!”
After speaking a few words and hanging up, Huangfu Jing felt like she was dreaming, looking incredibly excited and incredulous, with a face full of joy. Qing couldn’t rember the last ti he saw her this happy.
Qing also said, “Miss Jing, is Tangyu coming to the Capital City?”
Huang Jingjing nodded: “Mm, he’s already here. He said he’ll be here any minute. He’s here, he really is here.”
Hearing Tangyu was coming, even Qing was a bit pleased. If this continued, Huangfu Jing might fall ill from lovesickness, so it’s good that Tangyu’s arrived.
Huangfu Jing imdiately got up and said, “Let’s go, wait for him at the door.”
So the two of them stood at the doorway. After waiting for over ten minutes, they finally saw a powerful Humr drive up. The car door opened, and Tangyu, along with three others, got out. Seeing this familiar figure, Huangfu Jing’s face blossod into a radiant smile, like a flower in full bloom.
Tangyu also smiled as he walked up to Huangfu Jing: “Haven’t seen you in half a year, and you’re smiling more. It makes you look so beautiful.”
“Hehe—” Huangfu Jing laughed even more happily, almost to the point of looking a little silly.
Tangyu shook his head and said, “Don’t laugh like that; if you keep laughing like that, it’ll turn into a foolish laugh. Smiling too is an art.”
Huangfu Jing instantly stopped laughing, looking at Tangyu with a tender expression, utterly displaying the deanor of a little woman, vastly different from her previous queen-like aura. Seeing this side, Tangyu felt a unique charm, proving that even the most dominant woman can have a gentle side.
Liang Youshan saw Huangfu Jing and was equally struck by her beauty, exclaiming how stunning she was, almost as breathtaking at first sight as Qian Shanxue, leaving a stronger impression than so of the other won.
Hu Yaoi rolled her eyes at Tangyu: “You’re quite the ladies’ man, aren’t you? Wherever you go, you seem to have soone waiting. Have you ever left a place without soone waiting for you?”
“Ahem, I really didn’t an to.” Tangyu said sowhat bashfully. Could he be blad for this? Obviously not.
Qing said, “Please co inside, everyone, don’t just stand here.”
Only then did Huangfu Jing snap out of her trance, turning her gaze to Liang Youshan and the others. Her eyes lingered for a mont on Qian Shanxue and Hu Yaoi before nodding and smiling at them, saying, “Please co in, Qing, go buy more groceries.”
Qing nodded and left first.
Huangfu Jing led Tangyu and his friends into the living room and poured them so tea.
After sitting down, Huangfu Jing asked, “Tangyu, who are these people?”
Tangyu said, “Oh, let introduce them. They’re all good friends of mine, also fellow disciples.”
Before Tangyu could finish introducing, Liang Youshan grinned and took the initiative to introduce himself: “Hello, sis-in-law, my na’s Liang Youshan. My na implies I’m very friendly. Do you have any beautiful friends, half as pretty as you, whom you could introduce to? I’m still single, you know.”
Tangyu unceremoniously kicked Liang Youshan and said to Huangfu Jing, “Ignore him; he’s just a little rascal.”
Huangfu Jing chuckled and teased, “Oh, I know plenty of beauties, but they’re all very picky.”
“That’s alright, I’m confident in myself, and I’m an excellent man,” Liang Youshan said, patting his chest.
Tangyu also teased, “Just don’t dare to be frivolous. Being shaless, though, you’re certainly qualified. Let’s not ntion your looks; they’re just a tad shabby. Huangfu Jing, if you know any older single ladies, feel free to introduce him.”
“Ugh…” Liang Youshan looked utterly defeated, deeply hurt by Tangyu’s words.
Huangfu Jing couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, seeing Liang Youshan’s face turn to one of helplessness, she consoled, “It’s alright, I think you’re pretty good.”
“See, see, sis-in-law has good taste. From now on, you’re my dear sis-in-law,” Liang Youshan imdiately flattered.
Huangfu Jing’s face turned slightly red, shaking her head: “I’m not your sis-in-law. You have so many sis-in-laws; they can’t all be close ones.”
Liang Youshan pouted: “It’s different, absolutely different. No matter how many, I only recognize you.”
Even Hu Yaoi couldn’t help but give Liang Youshan a kick. Liang Youshan imdiately wore an innocent face and said, “Hu Yaoi, why are you kicking again? You’re not my sis-in-law, don’t be jealous.”
Hu Yaoi glared at Liang Youshan angrily: “Can’t keep quiet for a mont, huh? Don’t you know you’re hitting a sore spot for your big sister?”
Inside, Hu Yaoi was indeed a bit frustrated. Why wouldn’t Tangyu accept her? It’s just not right.
Seeing these few people making such a fuss, Tangyu also shook his head and said, “Alright, stop arguing. We’re here for serious business.”
After the four of them introduced themselves, Huangfu Jing asked, “Tangyu, what are you here in the Capital City for this ti? If you need any help, I can assist you.”
Tangyu replied, “I don’t know if you can help , but you can keep an eye out for . Maybe with your family’s connections, you can find so news. Do you know about Hefu Jade?”
Huangfu Jing slightly furrowed her brows, thought for a mont, and said, “The story of returning the flawless jade to Zhao refers to Hefu Jade. Historical records ntion that during the Great Tang period, Hefu Jade appeared once, and since then, it was never seen again. Many historians believe that Hefu Jade does not truly exist. Or even if it does exist, it’s just a piece of jade, not as magical as the rumors say. Why are you asking? Are you looking for the legendary Hefu Jade?”
Tangyu nodded and said, “Yes, our mission this ti in the Capital City is to find Hefu Jade. Don’t doubt it; Hefu Jade truly exists, and it’s in the Capital City right now. Of course, we only know it’s in the city; we still don’t know exactly where, so we ca to investigate.”
Huangfu Jing was slightly surprised, but since this involved Tangyu, she easily accepted it.
Huangfu Jing nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll ntion it to my brother, let him keep an eye out for any information. If there’s anything, I’ll tell you right away.”
“Alright.” Tangyu nodded.
After chatting for a while, Brother Qing returned with groceries to prepare a al.
Yu Lingtian arrived, and seeing Tangyu, he was unusually happy.
“Haha Tangyu, long ti no see. It’s a rare chance to see you. Judging by your deanor, you’re not here in the Capital City for fun, are you? Is sothing big going to happen in the city?” Yu Lingtian said.
Tangyu nodded and said, “So big things might happen. We’ll try to control the situation. If necessary, we might need your help to mitigate the impact.”
Hearing Tangyu’s words, Yu Lingtian also frowned slightly, realizing it was no small matter.
“What happened?” Yu Lingtian asked.
Tangyu replied, “So things aren’t convenient to tell you. Can you help investigate sothing? We’re looking for Hefu Jade.”
“Hefu Jade!” Yu Lingtian was clearly surprised upon hearing this: “Such a thing actually exists? Alright, leave this to . I dare not boast about other things, but finding out news is my forte.”
Yu Lingtian didn’t stay long and left without joining for lunch.
Brother Qing soon had lunch ready; it wasn’t particularly sumptuous, but Brother Qing’s cooking skills were quite good.
After the al, Tangyu received a call from Yu Lingtian, bringing an important piece of news.
It turned out that recently, a celebrity in the Capital City claid to be proficient in astrology, divination, and is said to be a descendant of Jiang Taigong, calling himself Jiang Dashi. He claid to have in his possession a miraculous treasure that can heal the sick, ward off evil, and help people avoid disasters, seeing past lives and the present, the past, and the future. Many even called him a living immortal, and his reputation quickly spread.
There were also rumors that the miraculous treasure in Jiang Dashi’s possession was Hefu Jade, which Jiang Dashi himself once ntioned, and it spread from there.
Qian Shanxue said, “Whether it is or not, we must go see it.”
Tangyu nodded without hesitation, imdiately got up to check it out. Not wanting to miss this chance to spend ti with Tangyu, Huangfu Jing also disguised herself and went along with Tangyu, ostensibly to guide them, though in fairness, Tangyu and the others were not familiar with the city’s roads.
Wangfujing, one of the busiest comrcial areas in the Capital City.
There are many small lanes connecting to Wangfujing, so of which have beco quite lively, while others remain quiet.
Shuxiang Road is one of the quieter streets, not for any particular reason other than that this street is known for selling antiques and literature-related items, making it rich in a literary atmosphere, attracting mainly scholars and literati.
And that Jiang Dashi was located on this street.
Tangyu quickly found the Master Jiang Hall, but at the entrance, a crowd had gathered, and there was quite a commotion.
Hearing the discussions, Tangyu’s brows knitted, realizing that a group of people had just co by and taken Jiang Dashi away.
Tangyu looked over and indeed saw a group escorting a man in a Taoist robe to the end of the street and getting into a car parked at the junction.
“Not good, soone beat us to it. Quick, chase after them. Liang Shan, you drive, and we’ll pursue them,” Tangyu imdiately said.
Tangyu and Qian Shanxue rushed forward while Liang Youshan, Hu Yaoi, and Huangfu Jing drove, keeping in contact.
Jiang Dashi was taken into a black van with a black Audi following behind, both without license plates. By the ti Tangyu and Qian Shanxue reached the junction, the car had already set off. Fortunately, there were many cars on the street, so it hadn’t vanished yet.
At this mont, Liang Youshan had already driven the car over, and Tangyu imdiately jumped in, his gaze locked on the two cars as they pursued them.
