Chapter 592: The Mole

As Wang Jianqiang's voice rang out.

In that night sky he was staring at, space rippled like water waves.

Immediately.

A figure manifested.

"Jiang Shan, you actually returned so quickly."

Jiang Wuji's expression tightened.

"If I didn't return, I fear the Qian Yu Trading Firm would have been destroyed by you."

Jiang Shan's figure flashed, blocking in front of Wang Jianqiang, cast a cold glance at Jiang Wuji, and then turned to look at Wang Jianqiang.

"Master Wang, are you alright?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

Hearing Jiang Shan's form of address for Wang Jianqiang, Jiang Wuji frowned.

Master Wang?

Could it be that the changes in the Qian Yu Trading Firm of late were truly brought about by this Wang Jianqiang?

He is merely a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

By what right could he stir up such a great disturbance?

Just as Jiang Wuji was filled with confusion, Jiang Shan had already looked over at him again.

"The chaos at the Qian Yu Trading Firm has been quelled; you may leave now."

Jiang Wuji frowned, then relaxed his brow.

He gave Wang Jianqiang a cold smile, "Kid, don't think that just because you've latched onto Jiang Shan you can rest easy. You had best restrain yourself, otherwise, no one can save you."

Having said this, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Xuan'er is wonderful."

Just as he turned, a voice suddenly transmitted into his mind.

His footsteps paused, and he looked at Wang Jianqiang with a cold expression.

A faint smile played on Wang Jianqiang's face as he asked with some confusion, "Does Daoist Friend have other business?"

Jiang Wuji took a deep breath, "Good, you are very good, let us wait and see."

Having said this, he flew directly into the sky.

Regarding Wang Jianqiang's voice transmission, he actually did not believe it.

He knew Jiang Xuan's personality very well.

Jiang Xuan is a very conservative and traditional person.

Given her personality, let alone just being a friend.

Even if she truly liked the other party, absolutely nothing would happen between the two of them.

If not for being clear about her personality, how would the family have easily made a wager with her, letting her venture out alone?

On this point.

He was still very much at ease.

The reason he was angry was simply because this ant, Wang Jianqiang, dared to provoke him.

Under the gaze of Wang Jianqiang and the others.

Jiang Wuji and those dozen or so Jiang Family experts quickly vanished into the night sky.

Once the figures of Jiang Wuji and the others had completely disappeared.

Jiang Xuan looked at Wang Jianqiang with some curiosity, "What did you just say to him via voice transmission? How did you make him so angry?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I was praising you to him."

"Forget it if you don't want to say."

Jiang Xuan rolled her eyes at Wang Jianqiang and looked at Jiang Shan, a look of dissatisfaction appearing on her pretty face.

"Big Brother, since you have already returned, why didn't you appear earlier to help Daoist Friend Wang deal with those masked men who attacked the Qian Yu Trading Firm?"

"You actually watched as Daoist Friend Wang fought those masked men alone!"

Jiang Shan was startled, "The people who attacked the Qian Yu Trading Firm were killed by Daoist Friend Wang?"

When he returned, Jiang Wuji and the others had already appeared at the Qian Yu Trading Firm.

He had always assumed those attackers died at the hands of Jiang Wuji and the others; he never expected it was Wang Jianqiang who dealt with them!

Didn't the information he received say that the attackers were all Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators?

The strongest had even reached the Spirit Transformation Late Stage.

How did Wang Jianqiang, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, kill them?

"Xuan'er, Daoist Friend Jiang Shan did not intentionally avoid the battle; he actually only just returned, and when we were dealing with those masked men, he had not yet arrived."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan revealed a look of realization, "So that's how it is, but your timing is too good, isn't it? You only returned after everyone was killed."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's somewhat complaining words, Jiang Shan could not help but smile helplessly.

"Daoist Friend Jiang Shan, do you not feel that today's attack seems a bit too coincidental?"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again.

Jiang Shan was startled, then his expression became serious, and he nodded slowly.

He had only taken away many of the Qian Yu Trading Firm's experts during the day, and the Qian Yu Trading Firm was attacked at night; it was indeed a bit too coincidental.

Jiang Xuan's expression shifted as she looked at Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Shan.

"Daoist Friend Wang, Big Brother, let's go inside to talk; this is not a place for conversation."

The two heard this and nodded.

A moment later.

The three returned to the room.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Jiang Shan, "Daoist Friend Jiang Shan, could you explain why you left in such a hurry earlier?"

Jiang Shan pondered for a moment and said, "The reason I, Jiang, left was because the team transporting the Medicinal Herb for the Qian Yu Trading Firm was attacked."

"This batch of Medicinal Herb is extremely important to the Qian Yu Trading Firm; if lost, the Qian Yu Trading Firm would surely suffer a heavy blow. To ensure nothing went wrong, I specifically took all the experts of the Qian Yu Trading Firm with me."

"I originally thought I could return in at most three days, and by acting in secret, no trouble should have arisen. I didn't expect that just after I left, the Qian Yu Trading Firm would be attacked..."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Since this batch of Medicinal Herb is so important, I presume Daoist Friend Jiang had already made foolproof preparations?"

"Why was it still attacked?"

Jiang Shan shook his head, "Those who knew about this Medicinal Herb procurement operation are all my trusted aides. I, Jiang, am also very puzzled as to why the matter was leaked."

"Because I was worried that someone was plotting behind the scenes to lure the tiger away from the mountain, I specifically had all the experts of the Qian Yu Trading Firm rush at full speed to the location where the Medicinal Herb transport team was suffering a Tribulation."

"As for myself, I stayed at a position between the location where the Medicinal Herb transport team was attacked and Tianyue City, so that if any incident occurred at either side, I could provide support at the fastest speed."

"It is just that it seems it was still a bit late, though fortunately, Daoist Friend Wang has extraordinary means."

After hearing Jiang Shan's words, Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, "Could Daoist Friend Jiang tell me who all knew the Medicinal Herb transport route?"

Jiang Shan nodded and stated one by one the people who knew the Medicinal Herb transport route.

After Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, he looked at Jiang Shan again.

"Who sent the message telling you about the incident at the Qian Yu Trading Firm, and when did you receive the message?"

"The General Manager of the Qian Yu Trading Firm, Jiang Hailan, told me. As for the time of the message..."

Jiang Shan did not hide anything and told Wang Jianqiang the sequence of events in detail.

"The timing is wrong."

After listening to Jiang Shan's words, Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"What timing is wrong?"

Jiang Shan was stunned.

"The time Jiang Hailan notified you is wrong."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Jiang Shan, "Normally, after the Jiang Family receives notification from the Qian Yu Trading Firm, it needs to report to the higher-ups, and then the higher-ups issue a mission; during this period, there will be some loss of time."

"If that General Manager had sent the message to you and the Jiang Family at the same time, it should have been you who arrived first, but the fact is that Jiang Wuji and the others arrived first."

"This shows that he did not send the message to you at the first opportunity."

"And precisely because of this decision of his, the arrival of reinforcements was delayed by at least a quarter of an hour."

"Although a quarter of an hour is short, in this race-against-time attack, it is extremely long and enough to decide many things."

Jiang Shan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "You suspect Jiang Hailan is a mole?"

"That's impossible."

Saying this, Jiang Shan shook his head, "He didn't know my decision; perhaps he thought I was too far from Tianyue City to provide timely support."

"Contacting the Jiang Family first doesn't prove anything."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "As the person in charge of the Qian Yu Trading Firm, when the Qian Yu Trading Firm encounters trouble, he should have notified you at the first opportunity. Even if the situation was urgent, it shouldn't have been delayed by a quarter of an hour, right?"

"As for him not knowing your decision..."

Speaking to this point, Wang Jianqiang paused and looked deeply at Jiang Shan.

"He is one of your trusted aides; he should know you very well, right?"

"Is it possible that he had already guessed it?"

Jiang Shan's heart stirred upon hearing this, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, "But these are ultimately just guesses."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I have a way to confirm whether he has betrayed you or not."
