Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The Ancestor Sees Through at a Glance

The middle-aged woman upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am indeed a fan of Nana! I’ve finally found you, I thought I got the wrong place!"

Xia Xin smiled politely, "You didn’t get it wrong, there’s only one Jiaoyang Temple in F city. However, what brings you here? If it’s to offer incense, it’s too late today; I recommend coming back early tomorrow morning."

"She’s not here to offer incense."

"I, I’m not here to offer incense..."

Jiangli and the middle-aged woman spoke in unison.

The middle-aged woman: "..."

Xia Xin: "..."

Both pairs of eyes looked at Jiangli at the same time.

Jiangli said indifferently, "That false rumor online, is it about your husband?"

The middle-aged woman nodded in surprise, "How... how do you know?"

Xia Xin widened her eyes, also wondering how Jiangli knew.

The female benefactor hadn’t introduced herself after coming...

"The false rumor has caused trouble," Jiangli stated, looking at the middle-aged woman. Though it was a question, she spoke with the tone of a statement.

As if certain that the false rumor had indeed caused trouble.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s eyes reddened and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! My husband is in trouble! Are you, are you a disciple of Abbot Jiangli? You are so impressive, is the abbot even more so? Could you please ask the abbot to help me find my husband?"

"That..."

Upon hearing her words, Xia Xin coughed lightly, pointed at Jiangli, and introduced, "Madam, this person here is our temple’s Abbot, Jiangli herself."

The words the middle-aged woman was about to say suddenly stopped.

She looked at Jiangli in astonishment, incredulous.

"You... you’re the Abbot?"

Jiangli smiled faintly, "Guaranteed genuine."

Xia Xin echoed, "Yes, she is our Abbot Jiangli, Jiangli is her, and our Jiaoyang Temple has only her as such an amazing Abbot."

The middle-aged woman stared blankly at Jiangli, taking a while to recover.

She had assumed that the master so powerful online would be an elderly female master.

She had not expected...

To be met with such a young girl.

This age...

Younger than her own daughter...

Was she truly the master so powerful online?

The middle-aged woman showed a troubled expression, hesitant.

Jiangli said bluntly, "I read Fan Siguo’s fortune yesterday; his so-called friend is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I warned him to be cautious, but it seems he didn’t take my words to heart."

As soon as the middle-aged woman heard this, her concern for her husband surged above her doubts, "Right, right, right! I always said his friend couldn’t be trusted, but my husband is too soft-hearted, he never suspects anything. Someone says a couple of things, and he believes it to be true. That friend suddenly came asking for us to invest, I disagreed, but my husband said, it’s been so many years of friendship, he wouldn’t harm us..."

Jiangli interrupted her rambling, "We know about this; your husband already told us yesterday. Now, let’s focus on what’s important."

The middle-aged woman was at a loss for words: "..."

Xia Xin gently interjected, "Since you can’t contact your husband, his safety must be our top priority. We should keep this brief."

The middle-aged woman nodded remorsefully, choosing her words to explain the essentials.

Her husband’s name was Fan Siguo, and that so-called friend was named Hen Cheng.

They had met at a friend’s dinner party, and they had been acquainted for many years now.

So when Hen Cheng came saying he had a big project and wanted them to invest to make money together...

Fan Siguo agreed without a second thought.

After hearing Jiangli’s words, Fan Siguo started having second thoughts.

He passed on Jiangli’s warning to his wife, Wu Mei.

Wu Mei felt the matter was indeed unreliable.

But Fan Siguo thought about how he had already agreed to Hen Cheng, and pulling out suddenly could mean losing Hen Cheng as a friend.

In his view, money was not as important as friends.

Still, because of Jiangli’s words, he remained vigilant.
