<h4>Chapter 110: Investigating the Truth</h4> <h4>??</h4>


    Yu Wan regained her freedom and hugged the little fat ball hanging on her. She said to the man in front of her, “Thank you, Young Master Xu.”


    Yu Feng also thanked him.


    Then, Yu Feng looked at the little fat ball in Yu Wan’s arms. The little fat ball was a little bald and suddenly coughed a few times. Yu Feng understood that this was the little thing that Young Master Xu carried in the cagest time.


    <i>It’s quite powerful,</i>?Yu Feng thought.


    Young Master Xu must be either rich or noble to be able to raise such a powerful little thing. However, he still did not associate the other party’s identity with the Xu family. After all, there were too many people with the surname Xu in the world.


    “Young Master Xu, why are you here?” Yu Wan looked at the carriage not far away. It seemed like it had juste out of the Capital judging from the direction.


    Young Master Xu looked at the little fat ball in Yu Wan’s arms and said in a low voice, “It doesn’t take medicine properly and doesn’t let anyone apply medicine.”


    In other words, he was here to ask Yu Wan for help.


    The little fat ball rolled its eyes at Young Master Xu and continued to rub against Yu Wan’s arms.


    Yu Wan touched its back. “You have to take medicine and apply medicine to recover.”


    The fat little ball whimpered coquettishly.


    ...


    Yu Wan originally wanted to say a few more words, but if it wasn’t for the little fat ball throwing a tantrum, it wouldn’t have saved her by ident. Thinking of this, Yu Wan felt that she should be grateful that it wasn’t obedient.


    The man was not interested in how Yu Wan had provoked this group of robbers. He only looked back from the corner of his eye and instructed indifferently, “Chang’an, report to the officials.”


    “Yes!” Beside the carriage, a long attendant riding a horse waved his whip and left.


    Yu Wan carried the little fat ball and came to the group of masked people. Among them, the three people who had tried to take advantage of her were the most seriously injured. At this moment, they had already lost too much blood and fainted. The one who seemed the calmest was the leader.


    Yu Wan did not forget that he was the one who tapped her acupoints and pushed her to those people.


    Yu Wan walked up to him and looked down at him. “Who asked you to kill us?”


    The leader of the masked men was lying on his side in cold sweat, stubbornly refusing to speak.


    The little fat ball jumped down and raised its discus-like little chubby ws and aimed it at his crotch. It had the domineering aura of “Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’ll crush your balls.”


    The masked man shivered. Was this really a little sick cat? It would be a tiger if there was a “king” written on its forehead!


    The little fat ball was about to p down its ws when the leader of the masked men was scared out of his wits. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! It’s a youngd! About… the same age as him! Generous-looking, short! An authentic Capital ent!”


    Yu Wan was deep in thought. Generous-looking, short. It seemed like he was just an errand boy. That’s right, the main character was so smart. How could he contact the killers himself?


    “If you see him, can you still recognize him?” Yu Wan asked.


    “Yes, yes!” The leader of the masked men nodded vigorously. His desire to live could not be any stronger.


    Yu Wan nodded in satisfaction and left him alone.


    The leader of the masked men finally heaved a long sigh of relief. He still had value, so his life should be fine—


    Unexpectedly, before he could finish heaving a sigh of relief, the little fat ball pped down with its w…


    Anyway, you don’t use this ce to recognize people, right?


    The little fat ball proudly puffed up its chest and took elegant and charming steps as it jumped back into Yu Wan’s arms.


    When the officials heard that there were vicious and evil people killing the innocent, they hurriedly picked up their sabers and swords and rushed over without stopping. However, when they arrived, uh… Who was killing who?


    The masked men had never looked forward to the officials so much. They pounced over with snot and tears, begging the officials to lock them up. The officials were in a daze.


    In the end, the little fat ball couldn’t stay. After Yu Wan applied ointment and fed it pills, it was locked in a cage by Young Master Xu and taken away. As soon as he got into the carriage, the little fat ball bit off the iron cage and jumped out. It grabbed the priceless jade and inkstone on the carriage and smashed several of them.


    What a very violent little fat ball.


    The escaped coachman returned dejectedly and continued to drive the carriage for the siblings. He was innocent, so the two of them didn’t say anything.


    Yu Wan mentioned the masked men to Yu Feng after getting out of the car. Although there was a witness, Yu Wan did not think that the authorities would be able to find the young man’s whereabouts so easily. If she guessed correctly, that person had already been sent out of the Capital and had found a hidden ce to hide. The authorities would not discover him for the time being.


    “Big Brother, what do you think?”


    “What?” Yu Feng was clearly distracted.


    Yu Wan asked, “Have you thought of the mastermind behind this matter?”


    Yu Feng lowered his eyes. “Are you suspecting Tianxiang Restaurant?”


    Yu Wan looked at his evasive eyes without blinking. “Big Brother, you know I’m not suspecting the Tianxiang Restaurant.”


    Yu Feng was not stupid. He might not have understood it once, but Yu Wan had reminded him time and time again. No matter how stupid he was, he should know who Yu Wan was referring to. However, he was really unwilling to suspect that person.


    After all, when they were most desperate, it was that person who appeared like a god and saved his father. His great kindness to the Yu family was definitely not something that a few recipes couldpare to.


    “If he wants it, he can just ask my father for it. My father won’t refuse. He doesn’t have to steal it,” Yu Feng said.


    Her uncle might really give his benefactor a few recipes if his benefactor had spoken up ording to her uncle’s character. However, since Yu Wan had already suspected him, she would not let other suspicious things disperse the suspicion she had painstakingly built.


    “How about this, Big Brother?” Yu Wan said. “Let’s probe Uncle’s intentions first. In order to prevent Uncle from suspecting that person first, we won’t tell Uncle about the recipes and the pursuit for the time being. What do you think?”


    Yu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded. “…Okay.”


    —-


    “You’re talking about Uncle Yang? You met him?” In the central room, Uncle, who was holding his youngest daughter and roasting sweet potatoes, looked at Yu Wan and Yu Feng in surprise.


    Yu Wan said with her usual expression, “Yes, we passed by Tianxiang Restaurant and happened to bump into him. Big Brother recognized him.”


    Uncle was enlightened. “That’s true. You weren’t there when he came to our house.”


    “By the way, Uncle, we also saw Chef Tang with Uncle Yang. They seem to have a good rtionship.”


    “Tang? Is it Tang Ping?”


    Yu Wan didn’t know the other party’s name, so she only said, “Chef Tang said that he used to work with you.”


    “Then it’s him. Strange, why are these two together?”


    “What’s wrong? Did they not get along?”


    Uncle frowned and thought for a while. “It’s not that they don’t get along. In the early years, the three of us were all in the same Tianxiang Restaurant. Tang Ping is from the Capital, and his family background seems to be quite good. Your Uncle Yang and I are both from the provinces, so we don’t have as much experience as Tang Ping. Tang Ping has always looked down on us and doesn’t bother to interact with us.”


    Yu Wan paused. “Then… after your ident, Tang Ping didn’te to visit you?”


    Uncle smiled. “Why would hee to see me?”


    Yu Wan eliminated the suspicion of Tang Ping. The possibility of a person who did not talk to Uncle stealing the recipe from him was too low. Moreover, Tang Ping was proud and arrogant. How could he possibly fancy Uncle’s recipe?


    “What about Uncle Yang? Who is he?” Yu Wan asked.


    Uncle was always very patient in satisfying Yu Wan’s curiosity. He said kindly, “He’s a good person. Although he’s not very talented, he’s very diligent.”


    To put it bluntly, in the Tianxiang Restaurant where there were many experts, Chef Yang was just an inconspicuous backup chef. All the chefs there looked down on him and were busy ordering him around as an apprentice. Only Uncle was honest and politely called him Chef Yang.


    Perhaps because of this, Chef Yang became closer to his uncle.


    Although Uncle didn’t say it explicitly, Yu Wan could guess that Uncle’s status in Tianxiang Restaurant was very high back then. Ever since Uncle was friends with Chef Yang, not only had Chef Yang’s poprity improved, but his culinary skills had also improved.
