Chapter 139: Su Xueyan in Trouble…

The black sedan smoothly drove out of the Su Family Villa gate.

Su Xiaonuan sat in the passenger seat, her fingers subconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white.

Earlier in the Underground Chamber, Ling Zhaixing's sharp gaze was like a needle, making her feel uneasy all over, as if her secret was about to be exposed.

"Sister Xue Yan."

Su Xiaonuan turned her head, forcing a sweet smile onto her face.

"That Xiao Ling sister earlier, is she Brother Jiang Feng's friend? She seemed... very capable."

Su Xueyan sat in the back seat, without any guard.

"Yes, Xiao Ling was brought by Jiang Feng to help locate the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence; I heard she is a top tracking expert and also well‑versed in theft arts."

"Looking for the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence?"

Su Xiaonuan pretended surprise, but her heart gave a thud.

"Did she mention any clues? It's been so long, can it still be found?"

"She said the clue is in the ventilation shaft, and she suspects it was done by someone in the family."

Su Xueyan didn't think much and directly voiced Ling Zhaixing's speculation.

"I think it's still Cousin colluding with outside thieves; after all, he's long coveted the family's assets, and he previously cooperated with the Three Great Families, so finding a master thief shouldn't be hard."

Su Xueyan's suspicion toward Su Shian was undisguised.

During the earlier police investigation, Su Shian and his son indeed had alibis.

But the whole Su Family up to now, only Su Shian truly betrayed the Su Family, so Su Xueyan has always doubted him.

Of course, whether or not it matters is irrelevant now; the entire Su Family's authority is already in her hands.

"Brother Shian?"

Su Xiaonuan felt instantly relieved upon hearing that.

But since it's her own brother, she still put a worried expression on her face.

"But I also know, Brother Shian is indeed overbearing; if it really is him, I think I can accept it."

She quietly fished a tiny scented pouch from her pocket, her eyes flickering

seemingly casually placing it on her lap, the pouch emitted an extremely faint fragrance.

Su Xueyan sat in the back seat, not noticing her small move.

She suddenly felt dizzy, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, as if filled with lead, and even the strength to speak was slowly fading.

"Strange... why am I suddenly so sleepy..."

"Sister Xue Yan, did you not rest well last night? How about you nap in the back, and I'll wake you when we reach the mall."

"Hmm..."

Su Xueyan mumbled a response, tilted her head, leaned against the back seat, and soon fell silent, sinking into a complete blackout.

After finally confirming Su Xueyan was unconscious, Su Xiaonuan gently patted the driver's shoulder in front of her.

"All right, head toward Feilong Villa."

"Okay."

The driver in the front seat saw this, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He immediately slammed the steering wheel, turned the car around, and drove toward Chengjiao.

Meanwhile, in the Underground Chamber of the Su Family Villa, Jiang Feng heard Ling Zhaixing's affirmative answer and furrowed his brows tightly.

Although he had vaguely guessed Su Xiaonuan earlier, being confirmed by Ling Zhaixing still surprised him.

Su Xiaonuan seemed lively and cute, always kind to Su Xueyan, making it hard to imagine she could be the thief of the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence.

"Why are you so certain?"

Jiang Feng looked at Ling Zhaixing, his tone serious.

"Just because she carries a similar aura?"

"Of course not just that."

Ling Zhaixing leaned on the stone platform, her tone confident.

"Her finger joints have a very thin callus, a mark left by years of lock‑picking and climbing; ordinary people wouldn't have that."

"The crucial point is she carries a faint scent‑masking spice; though subtle, it can't evade my nose. This spice is commonly used in our Thief Circle to avoid surveillance and hounds."

Jiang Feng nodded; Ling Zhaixing's analysis was logical point by point, and combined with Su Xiaonuan's previous behavior, the doubts were indeed many.

He no longer hesitated, took out his phone, and dialed Shen Junyao.

"Hello, Jiang Feng?"

On the other end, Shen Junyao's crisp voice came, tinged with some doubt.

"Calling me at this hour, what's the matter?"

"Junyao, help me look up a person."

Jiang Feng's tone was serious.

"Su Xiaonuan of the Su Family, Su Xueyan's cousin. I need all her information, including her recent whereabouts, contacts, bank account changes, and whether she has studied martial arts or theft techniques, as detailed as possible."

"Su Xiaonuan?"

Shen Junyao's voice was full of surprise.

"Why look her up?"

"Don't ask so many questions, investigate as I say."

Jiang Feng's tone left no room for doubt.

"Her suspicion is great; send me the data promptly, it concerns Xue Yan's safety and cannot be delayed."

Shen Junyao heard the urgency and seriousness in his Tone, dared not delay, and Immediately replied.

"Fine, I'll arrange people to investigate right away, mobilize all resources that can be mobilized, and give you the result as soon as possible."

"Sorry to trouble you.

Jiang Feng finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Ling Zhaixing looked at him, a Cold Smile tugging at the corner of his Mouth: "It seems you have long doubted her?"

"Just a vague speculation, no evidence."

Jiang Feng shook his head, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

"Xue Yan trusts her too much; now Xue Yan is with her, I fear Xue Yan will be in Danger."

He said so, and Immediately took out his phone and dialed Su Xueyan's number.

He must warn Xue Yan, telling her to be careful of Su Xiaonuan.

But the phone rang again and again, and no one ever answered.

Jiang Feng's complexion instantly grew solemn.

He dialed several more times in succession, and the result was the same: Su Xueyan's phone remained unanswered.

"Not good!"

Jiang Feng let out a low shout, turned and ran toward the Outside of the Underground Chamber.

"Xue Yan may have encountered Danger!"

In his Brain, the image of Su Xiaonuan's gaze in the Underground Chamber flashed.

All clues linked together; Su Xiaonuan took Xue Yan out, not to shop, but with another purpose!

At this moment, on the Chengjiao highway, a black sedan sped rapidly.

Su Xiaonuan looked at the unconscious Su Xueyan in the back seat, her Tears flowing more fiercely; she tightly held Su Xueyan's head, pressing her face against her forehead.

"Sister Xue Yan, I'm sorry… I really had no choice… that woman threatened my parents' lives, I had to do this… don't blame me…"

Her heart was filled with struggle and helplessness.

If that woman in black hadn't threatened her family's lives, how could she bear to hurt Sister Xue Yan, who grew up with her and had always been so good to her? Yet she had no choice; the woman in black was too powerful, her methods too ruthless, and she could not resist at all.

The driver in the front seat wore a blank expression, his eyes cold, focusing solely on driving; the speed increased, heading toward Feilong Villa in Chengjiao.
