Chapter 1290: Appearance

Three days later, some restless people in the prefecture finally could not take it anymore. After discovering that Second Master Duan did not have any dealings with the Dou Family, they wanted to take action against the Duan Family’s business.

However, no one expected that the business that was already full of loopholes because of Second Master Duan would now be watertight, so they could not find any mistakes.

The Duan family’s shopkeepers, who had been in a panic a few days ago, had become energetic these few days.

Everyone was puzzled.

At that moment, Duan Qian finished reading the letter that Shopkeeper Luo had sent and smiled slightly.

Then, he asked Duan Wan to bring him a brush and paper and started a new round of arrangements.

Now, when Duan Qian did these things again, he would no longer avoid Duan Wan.

This incident had also taught him a deep lesson. He knew that he could not blindly protect his sister and dote on her. He was not powerful enough to protect her for the rest of his life. Only when he became stronger could he be fearless.

He had seen this from Gu Yundong.

Moreover, from what Duan Wan said, she wanted to try doing business herself, so Duan Qian had started to teach her some basic knowledge step by step.

After writing the letter and sending it out, Duan Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to continue teaching Duan Wan some business tactics, he saw Dou Fukang enter excitedly.

As soon as he entered, he said in a low voice, “The soldiers guarding the city saw a man who looked like Liangzi enter the city.”

Duan Qian looked up. “Really?”

“Yes, I’m just here to tell you that you haven’t fully recovered yet, so it’s not convenient for you to show your face. Rest well first. Don’t worry, Qing Yuan and I will definitely not let these people escape again.”

Although Duan Qian wanted to go out and help, he was indeed powerless.

Moreover, if Liangzi saw that he was safe and sound, he would probably destroy Dou Fukang and the others’ deployment.

Therefore, he could only say with a serious expression, “Be careful.”

Dou Fukang nodded. After glancing at Duan Wan, he turned around and strode away.

He went to the provision store and then came out with Shao Qingyuan to where Liangzi was now.

It was an inconspicuous small courtyard in an alley not far from the Duan Mansion.

The courtyard was not big. According to the neighbors, this courtyard had just been bought not long ago. However, after buying it, no one had lived in it until today.

Shao Qingyuan and Dou Fukang were sitting at a noodle stall not far from the courtyard. They ordered two bowls of soup noodles and chatted as they ate.

“Are you sure he went in? Were the people you sent to follow him discovered?” Shao Qingyuan asked.

Yes, the taste of this noodles was not bad. He would bring a bowl back for his wife later.

“Don’t worry, the person following him is my father’s guard. He’s good at tracking and investigation. It’s overkill to let him follow Liangzi.”

Shao Qingyuan was relieved to hear that. “Only Liangzi is here now. I wonder if Mrs. Zuo and the others will come.”

“Let’s wait for two days.”

After eating the noodles, Shao Qingyuan ordered another bowl to go, put down the copper coins, and left.

For the rest of the time, Dou Fukang sent people to keep an eye on the small courtyard.

Liangzi had entered and left a few times. There were even a few times when he walked towards the Duan Mansion.

As expected, their target was the Duan Mansion.

On the third day, Dou Fukang received news that Mrs. Zuo had also entered the city and was living in the small courtyard with her subordinates.
