"If you still don't tell the truth, I'll have to call the police to handle this," Xia Sanghuan said calmly as she watched the panic on Xia Anying's face.
Xia Anying gritted her teeth. "Don't think you can threaten me with the police. I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Really?" Xia Sanghuan raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Fine, don't blame me for not warning you. The Black Bone Spiritual Treasure is something Leng Chuanjin wants."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Anying's nerves visibly tensed up.
Xia Sanghuan drawled, "If I tell him now that you stole the spiritual treasure, what do you think he'll do to you?"
Thinking of the rumors that the eldest young master of the Leng family was cold - hearted and ruthless, Xia Anying couldn't help shivering.
Xia Sanghuan leaned closer to her and slowly said, "Will he kick you out of the Leng family or publicize the scandal of your theft?"
"No! You can't tell anyone," Xia Anying blurted out instinctively.
She was on the verge of crying in desperation.
If the Leng family publicized this matter, she would never be able to stay in the capital again!
Xia Sanghuan's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Xia Anying indifferently.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you, okay!"
Finally, Xia Anying couldn't hold it anymore and was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Good. Then confess everything," Xia Sanghuan leaned against the dressing table.
Xia Anying sniffled, her voice hoarse. "I did take that spiritual treasure... But it's not with me now. It was bought by someone!"
Realizing that things were more complicated than she thought, Xia Sanghuan straightened up, her eyes cold. "Who bought the spiritual treasure? Where?"
Thinking of those black - suited men, Xia Anying quickly said, "Some men in black suits bought it for 10,000 yuan. The deal was in the scenic garden behind the Fu family's mansion!"
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Xia Sanghuan. Now that she had confessed everything, Xia Sanghuan couldn't do anything to her.
Xia Sanghuan gave her a disdainful look.
Then she walked out of the room without a moment's hesitation.
The tight knot in Xia Anying's heart finally loosened, and she muttered discontentedly.
Xia Sanghuan went downstairs. She casually glanced around, and the domineering girl who was on the first floor just now was gone.
She was thinking about the person who bought the spiritual treasure.
Although the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure was a precious item for pharmaceutical research, very few people in the world knew about it.
Xia Sanghuan recalled what Xia Anying had just said.
10,000 yuan.
Although the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure had high value inside, on the outside it was just a strangely - shaped stone. The people who specifically spent money to buy this thing must have known the value of the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure. Xia Anying was just a fool who had been deceived!
The Black Bone Spiritual Treasure had no other use except for pharmaceutical research. What on earth did these people who bought the spiritual treasure want to do...
Xia Sanghuan stopped at the staircase, her eyebrows knitted tightly.
She must have missed some details.
These people taking the spiritual treasure couldn't be just for pharmaceutical research.
Moreover, Xia Anying had just said that the deal was made in the scenic garden behind the Fu family's mansion.
This meant that these black - suited men were definitely enemies of the Fu family.
Xia Sanghuan looked up, and a flash of inspiration suddenly hit her.
On Qingshan Slope, Leng Chuanjin had the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure with him, and those who chased and killed him must have also been after the spiritual treasure.
Connecting all the details, Xia Sanghuan suddenly had an idea.
These black - suited men who bought the spiritual treasure must be related to those who chased and killed Leng Chuanjin last time.
Having a general clue in mind, Xia Sanghuan had a clear train of thought and quickly ran towards the study on the third floor.
She met Yun Ye in the corridor.
"Miss Xia, are you here on the third floor for something?"
Xia Sanghuan stopped. "Ah, I just wanted to find Leng Chuanjin to tell him something."
Yun Ye waved the folder in his hand. "You'd better come later. Mr. Leng isn't in the study right now."
Xia Sanghuan was a bit surprised. Leng Chuanjin usually handled his official business in the study. Why was he not there today?
She didn't think too much about it and just nodded. "Okay, I'll come later."
Going downstairs, Xia Sanghuan met a group of servants who were moving luggage head - on.
The luggage was everywhere in the hall, and Xia Sanghuan had nowhere to put her feet.
She stood still and asked, "Uncle Wang, whose luggage is this?"
Wang Fu quickly walked over. "Miss Xia, these are all the luggage of the second young lady of the Leng family."
Hearing about the second young lady, Xia Sanghuan suddenly remembered the domineering girl in the first - floor hall just now.
"The second young lady?"
She had only heard that there were two young masters in the Leng family but had never heard of a second young lady.
Wang Fu nodded. "The second young lady has been abroad for nearly five years. Recently, because of the second young master's matter, Mr. Leng asked her to come back."
"I see," Xia Sanghuan said thoughtfully.
Wang Fu sighed slightly. "The second young lady has been domineering since she was a child. Five years ago, she caused trouble at school, so she went abroad to cultivate herself."
"Unexpectedly," he shook his head and sighed. "The second young lady still has the same temper after coming back from abroad."
Xia Sanghuan wasn't in the mood for gossip and just nodded in understanding.
She walked around the gaps between the large and small luggage and walked out.
The sun was shining brightly at this time. Xia Sanghuan hailed a taxi by the roadside. "Driver, take me to the scenic park in the green - belt area."
When they arrived at the destination, Xia Sanghuan paid the driver and got out of the car.
It was lunch - break time now, and there were only cleaners in the park. Xia Sanghuan walked in and headed straight for the park's security room.
When the security guard saw someone coming, he opened the window. "Ma'am, do you need any help?"
Xia Sanghuan shifted her gaze and saw a large number of surveillance monitors in the security room.
She nodded. "I lost something in the park, so I'd like to check the surveillance."
After the security guard verified her identity card and information, he allowed Xia Sanghuan to check the surveillance.
Xia Sanghuan checked the surveillance from the morning.
There were never many people in the park, so when Xia Anying appeared in the surveillance field of view, her figure was very obvious on the screen.
So Xia Sanghuan watched Xia Anying's every move from the beginning.
She saw the whole process of Xia Anying's deal with the black - suited men. Then, Xia Anying left the field of view with a box of money, and the black - suited men also followed and walked out of the surveillance field of view.
She turned to the security guard. "Is this all the surveillance here?"
"Yes. There are surveillance cameras in every corner. Didn't you find what you lost?"
"It's okay. I'll take another look."
Xia Sanghuan bent down.
She suddenly noticed that the direction the black - suited men left was right at the blind spot of the surveillance.
But there was a very obvious green flower belt around the blind spot.
Putting down the mouse, Xia Sanghuan thanked the security guard.
After thinking for a while, she immediately walked towards the corner where Xia Anying had made the deal with the black - suited men.
Standing there, Xia Sanghuan observed the surroundings.
Soon, she found the breakthrough point. There were green flower beds around the corner, but only the flower bed in the northwest had a gap.
