Chapter 1096: Information about the Thatched Cottage

Qingyue Ancient Street is an ancient street hidden behind the prosperity of the provincial capital.

There are few people here during the day, and it gradually becomes lively after dusk. All kinds of vendors and customers emerge from every corner like ghosts, making this street full of mystery.

According to the address provided by the disciples of Jinguan Palace, Ye Tianming came to a pharmacy called "Baicaotang".

The shop sign is a bit old, and traces of erosion by wind and rain are clearly visible, revealing a quaint charm.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a strong medicinal aroma hits you in the face. The scents of various medicinal herbs intertwined together to form a peculiar smell.

The shop is not big. Some common medicinal materials are placed on the counter, and the walls are covered with specimens of various medicinal materials.

A woman was standing with her back to him, sorting the herbs on the counter.

She was wearing a simple white dress, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering her face.

"Hello, girl." Ye Tianming said.

The woman slowly turned around, revealing a delicate, fair, oval face.

She has picturesque eyebrows and a pair of clear eyes with a hint of warmth and comfort.

Hearing Ye Tianming's voice, she raised her head slightly and smiled politely: "Hello, sir, do you want to buy anything?"

The clear and mellow voice made people feel like a spring breeze. Ye Tianming's heart was slightly shocked. The beauty of this woman was not inferior to Yun Qingyao at all.

However, he was only surprised for a moment, then he took out his cell phone, found Jiang Muwan's photo, and handed it to the woman: "No, girl, I want to find someone. Excuse me, have you seen this girl?"

The woman took the phone suspiciously, took a look at the photo of Jiang Muwan, and her face instantly turned surprised: "How...how do you have her photo?"

Ye Tianming was delighted, there really was hope!

It seems that this girl has really met Mu Wan!

He suppressed his joy and said quickly, "She is my...my woman. She came to the provincial capital from Longhai City and I couldn't get in touch with her. I was worried that something happened to her, so I asked around for her whereabouts. I heard that she came to your place many times. Do you...do you know where she is now?"

There was a trace of inquiry in the woman's eyes. She looked Ye Tianming up and down. Seeing that Ye Tianming's concern did not seem fake, she immediately said in a serious tone: "There are too many people here. Why don't we go upstairs and talk about it."

Ye Tianming nodded, followed the woman upstairs and entered an elegant room.

There is an antique wooden table and several chairs in the room, and several landscape paintings are hung on the wall, giving off a faint bookish atmosphere.

The woman motioned Ye Tianming to sit down, and then made him a cup of tea: "Sir, please have some tea."

Ye Tianming took the teacup, thanked her, and then asked impatiently: "Miss, you know Mu Wan, right? Where is she now? Is she okay?"

The woman sighed softly and said, "My name is Qiu Yuetang, and I'm the owner of this Baicaotang. I have indeed seen the girl in your photo."

"Miss Qiu Yuetang, do you know where she is now?" Ye Tianming asked anxiously, with a hint of trembling in his tone.

His fingers holding the teacup tightened unconsciously, and his eyes looked straight at Qiu Yuetang.

Qiu Yuetang sighed and put down the teacup in her hand. A trace of helplessness appeared in her clear eyes. "She often came to me to buy medicine before. It was a very precious healing medicine called 'Snow Lotus Jade Dew Pills'. I saw that she was so young, but she bought this healing medicine, so I couldn't help asking a few more questions. After a while, we became familiar with each other. Later I found out that she was a descendant of the Jiang family."

"Healing medicine?" Ye Tianming's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"She bought the medicine... for herself?"

"No," Qiu Yuetang shook her head, "I heard her say that it was used to heal her parents and grandfather."

"What?!" Ye Tianming stood up suddenly, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. "Her parents and grandfather... were injured? How could that be?"

Mu Wan's grandfather and parents are both very powerful, and they are members of the Jiang family. How could anyone hurt them?

Qiu Yuetang frowned slightly and sighed softly: "I don't know much either. I asked her before, but she didn't seem to want to say more. She only said that she was seriously injured. She bought a lot of 'Xue Lian Yu Lu Wan' every time she came, and that kind of medicine is not cheap..."

Ye Tianming paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Who on earth could actually hurt someone from the Jiang family?

"Oh, right," Qiu Yuetang said as if she suddenly thought of something, "I remember that every time she came to buy medicine, she was followed by two men who looked fierce and fierce. They kept staring at her and never left her side. I felt a little strange at the time, as if... they were watching over her."

Ye Tianming suddenly stopped, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Watch her? So, she is controlled by someone?"

"I'm just guessing," Qiu Yuetang shook her head, "after all, I don't have any evidence."

"Is there any surveillance video?" Ye Tianming was extremely anxious. He wished he could immediately dig out the original video footage and see it clearly.

Qiu Yuetang showed some apology and helplessness on her face, and she sighed again: "The surveillance footage in our store is only kept for seven days, and she hasn't been here for a long time. So the surveillance footage is long gone."

Ye Tianming's hope was shattered again. He sat back in his chair weakly, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained.

His mind was a mess.

He felt uneasy because there had been no news from Mu Wan.

Unexpectedly, she was controlled by someone!

Even her relatives were seriously injured. What terrible things did she experience during this period?

Who on earth could do this to her and her family?

Could it be... someone from the Jiang family?

Once this thought came into his mind, it would not go away.

Before in Longhai City, Mu Wan had said that the internal struggle within the Jiang family was very fierce and their family’s situation was also very dangerous.

She came to the provincial capital to look for her grandfather.

Could it be that the disappearance of Mu Wan's family is related to the internal struggle within the Jiang family?

Unfortunately, these thoughts did not receive any answers.

After a long time, Ye Tianming suppressed his anxiety and uneasiness, slowly stood up, and said as calmly as possible: "Thank you, Miss Qiu Yuetang. I apologize for disturbing you! If you have any news about Mu Wan, please feel free to contact me! Ye Tianming will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As he said this, Ye Tianming clasped his fists towards Qiu Yuetang.

Qiu Yuetang also stood up, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes: "Of course. I hope you can find her soon."

Ye Tianming nodded and said, "I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, he turned and left Baicaotang.
