Young Hero Zhao, where did you find it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ya smiled slightly, \"Send a few carriages over, and you’ll know when you get there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had been bedridden for several days, upon hearing that the fabrics had been found, Ning Shanfeng’s illness was instantly seventy percent better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I will arrange for the carriages right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yongsheng Cloth Shop had carriages ready, so they were quickly prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Shanfeng, disregarding any dissuasion, insisted on sitting in a carriage, following Zhao Ya to the residential houses next to the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door was opened, and they saw the room piled up with fabrics, both Ning Shanfeng and Ning Shan were wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing, truly amazing!\" Ning Shanfeng murmured in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Ning Shan looked at Zhao Ya with eyes filled with shock and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly couldn’t understand how, despite finding nothing last night, he managed to locate the stolen fabric overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he knows magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Count them, see if the numbers match up,\" Zhao Ya said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tallying and loading the fabrics onto the carriages, the count was exact, and Ning Shanfeng was so excited he nearly knelt in gratitude to Zhao Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been mentally preparing for the loss of everything by this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, faced with despair, the stolen fabrics had all been returned without missing a piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, he was immensely grateful to Zhao Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also had some doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Hero Zhao, how did you track down these fabrics? And who stole them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ya omitted any mention of the Paradise Sect, as it wouldn’t benefit ordinary people like them to know, and it might even harm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he recounted the revised sequence of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially upon hearing that his remarried wife, Mrs. Ning, had colluded with outsiders and stolen the fabrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Shanfeng was utterly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That wretch, despite all these years of treating her so well, she bit the hand that fed her, conspiring with outsiders against me. She deserves to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, Ning Shanfeng’s eyes were full of murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being just a regular cloth shop shopkeeper, in this day and age, few could achieve his business scale without being formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, without some ruthlessness, he would have been devoured down to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ya naturally understood this, but how Ning Shanfeng dealt with Mrs. Ning was Ning Family’s business, having nothing to do with him, so Zhao Ya said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ning Shanfeng soon composed himself and was endlessly grateful to Zhao Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Hero Zhao, you are the Ning Family’s savior. Without you finding these fabrics, even crushing these old bones of mine wouldn’t be enough to pay back others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shopkeeper Ning, you’re too kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not politeness, it’s sincere. Honestly, if it were us, we’d never dream that the mysteriously missing fabrics were actually just a hundred meters away from the warehouse, in the residential house. It’s truly a case of being blinded by the obvious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Shanfeng sighed endlessly, then ordered the workers to transport all the fabrics back to the cloth shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the warehouse was close at hand, after this incident, Ning Shanfeng became extremely precautious, refusing to entrust his entire fortune and life to a few workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ya accompanied them back as well. Ning Shanfeng had his daughter, Ning Shan, keep Zhao Ya company in the guest room for a while, while he excused himself hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ya naturally understood where he was going, but he didn’t ask, just nodded, and then drank tea and chatted with Ning Shan in the guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ning Shan seemed a bit distracted, frequently looking towards the back courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Ya smiled and said, \"It seems Miss Ning has quite a good relationship with your stepmother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Shan’s expression stiffened, then she sighed, \"I wouldn’t say very deep, but she came to our family when I was very young, and over the years there has been some affection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Miss Ning wants to go take a look, please feel free, I’ll be fine drinking tea here alone,\" Zhao Ya said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... alright, please forgive my rudeness!\" Ning Shan apologized to Zhao Ya, then stood up and hurried towards the back courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her figure recede, Zhao Ya shook his head to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl is still too naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does she think that by going over she can save Mrs. Ning’s life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s important to know that to a businessman like Ning Shanfeng, you might slap him twice, and he’d still smile at you, but if you threaten his core interests, he won’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not just a second wife, even a first wife wouldn’t be spared if they committed such betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Ning Family’s back courtyard, Mrs. Ning heard from the servants that the lost fabrics had been found as soon as she got up in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew instantly that things were not looking good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unaware of where the plan went wrong, the fabrics’ recovery meant the Divine Sect’s plan had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once Ning Shanfeng learned of her deeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she immediately started packing gold and silver, planning to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, relying on Ning Shanfeng’s favor, Mrs. Ning had saved quite a bit, enough for her later years. But just when she packed up and prepared to leave, several house servants blocked her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think you’re doing? Move aside,\" Mrs. Ning said sternly but weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, our apologies, but Master ordered us to deliver a message that there is something important to discuss with you shortly, and asks you to wait at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",985,"2026-05-30T15:25:32.750Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","000151fbddc0916d50202ac39d2a9ddbdcc275a71b3e683db5eed59d351e833d","longevity-begins-with-internal-organs-chapter-160","longevity-begins-with-internal-organs-chapter-158",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-begins-with-internal-organs-cover.jpg"]
