Chapter 646: Chapter 646: They Will Soon Find Out About Us
The most likely perpetrator was Dan Rong.
Yao didn’t need to point this out—it was something Dan Hanjie was well aware of.
But who did the others belong to?
This hidden threat made Dan Hanjie’s heart skip a beat.
“Mr. Jie, should we continue the investigation?” Yao asked with respect.
The target range wasn’t huge if he was investigating the upper echelons of the consortium.
This wasn’t a difficult task.
However, these individuals who held top positions of power in the Dan Family were no pushovers, and if they dared to take action, they would surely have back-up plans.
They must be prepared first.
“No need, prepare to leave. I’m going to the mansion to pay my respects to my uncle.” With a loosening of Dan Hanjie’s hand, he abruptly stood from his desk and quickly left the study.
Yao was taken aback, but promptly followed suit.
Within the sprawling mansion grounds.
Sentries were positioned every five and ten steps, maintaining an impenetrable defense.
In front of a blooming crape myrtle flower bed, Dan Yi was leisurely trimming a branch with pruning shears.
He occasionally paused to consult with the gardener.
A gentle smile spread across his face, as radiant as a warm spring breeze.
The assistant approached and respectfully bowed.
Dan Yi distorted a branch with his shears by accident and his face darkened.
The assistant kneeled with a thump, followed by the other servant attending to Dan Yi.
Dan Yi frowned, turned around, and tossed the shears on a tray.
He picked up a damp cloth and elegantly wiped his fingers. After a while, he tossed the cloth into the tray, lifted his head, and commanded, “All of you, leave.”
All the servants immediately left, conscientiously carrying the items with them.
Not far away, Dan Yi’s personal bodyguard stood on guard, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Dan Yi sat down on a nearby wicker chair and took a sip from the hot tea.
“I’ve said before, unless it’s a serious issue, don’t interrupt me when I’m learning about gardening. If I’m unsatisfied with your information, I’ll use you as fertilizer for my flowers.”
The assistant, sweating coldly, wiped his forehead before hurriedly replying, “I’ve just received news that among those who tried to kill Qin Youxuan yesterday, besides us, there were others from Dan Rong’s camp.”
“He wants that woman dead too?” The hand holding Dan Yi’s teacup paused, and he looked up as he put down the lid of the teacup.
“Yes, it’s said that because Qin Youxuan once calmed Mr. Jie down when he was out of control, Dan Rong was made aware of this and has issued an order to have her killed,” the assistant answered with respect.
“Master, Mr. Jie’s people have begun to investigate. It won’t be long before they trace it back to us.”
His old eyes were narrowed, his tea-cup holding hand lightly tapped on the rim of the cup.
After a long moment, he finally spoke, “Silence those that need to be silenced for me, and let them take the fall for this. Also, send a team to watch over Qin Youxuan twenty-four hours a day. Without my order, no one is to touch a hair on her head.”
The person Dan Rong wanted dead, he was determined to keep alive.
Not to mention, that woman still had other uses.
The more Dan Hanjie wishes to protect her, the more motivated he’ll be to deal with their common enemy…
This was a win-win situation.
Without asking any more questions, the assistant respectfully bowed and turned to leave.
The car sped along the road.
“Mr. Jie, a group of people have arrived at the villa’s periphery, saying they came from the mansion to specifically protect Miss Qin Youxuan,” Yao hung up the call, turned to the car’s back seat, and respectfully reported.
The car steadily halted by the roadside.
Dan Hanjie opened his cold eyes and lowered his voice, “What did you say?”
