Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Chapter 179 - Probing

Chapter 179: Probing

From the moment Luo Tao walked over, Jiang Ming’s peripheral vision had been fixed on him. The more Jiang Ming looked at him, the more he felt that this person was the legendary fourth master Huo who had narrowly escaped death, regardless of whether it was his appearance or his imposing manner.

As if sensing Jiang Ming sizing him up, Luo Tao s.h.i.+fted his gaze over. His pair of calm eyes made people’s scalps go numb.

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. He did not pretend that he did not see it. Instead, he walked over to Mo Yan and Luo Tao.

“This is your husband?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile.

Mo Yan didn’t know why he came over again, so she could only nod in agreement and introduce him to the two of them. “This is my husband, Luo Tao. Luo Tao, this is the general manager of Hongye Company, Jiang Ming, and the head of the investment department, Qian Yuan.”

Jiang Ming first reached out his hand to Luo Tao to show his friendliness.

Luo Tao slightly lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand that was handed over. Seeing that Mo Yan was puzzled because he did not move, Luo Tao quickly reached out and shook Jiang Ming’s hand.

Even though he sensed Luo Tao’s dislike, Jiang Ming still maintained his smile and said, “I heard from Uncle Qian that the jade bracelet that Miss Mo wore before was a gift from you. I wonder if you bought it or pa.s.sed it down?”

Luo Tao’s gaze that looked at Jiang Ming was indifferent but also contained a hint of wariness. subconsciously, he felt that this person was not simple.

“Ancestral.” Luo Tao said two words lightly.

Jiang Ming nodded as if he understood, “Uncle Qian estimated that the value of the jade bracelet is around one to two million. I wonder what business does your amily engage in?”

“My family members are dead. When the elders were alive, I heard that they would occasionally sell jade.”

Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao in surprise. This was the first time she heard Luo Tao mention the origins of the bracelet.

“Oh? May I know the location where the jades were sold?” Jiang Ming continued to ask.

Mo Yan felt that something was not right. Was this person trying to probe something? Even she had not inquired so carefully before.

Luo Tao’s expression was still the same as before. “Pingsong Street Antiques Market.”

Pingsong Street Antiques Market in City C had been around for a long time. There were many stalls selling antiques and jade articles. There were a lot of fakes there. Of course, there were also genuine ones. It only depended on whether one had the luck and the ability to distinguish them.

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Tao with a deeper gaze. He was now very suspicious of Luo Tao’s ident.i.ty.

If Mo Yan’s husband was Huo Zhen, he would have quickly revealed his ident.i.ty. Luo Tao’s answer did not give him any specific information about himself.

At this moment, Mo Yan smiled and said, “Manager Jiang, if you really like jade so much, why don’t you go directly to the Qin family’s Jade store to choose.”

Jiang Ming turned his gaze back to Mo Yan, his eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning.

“Mm, true. Then I won’t disturb you for now. I’ll have a detailed discussion with you in the future.”

“Okay, manager Jiang.”

Ever since Jiang Ming came over, Luo Tao had always maintained a cold att.i.tude, while Mo Yan’s smile did not change. The two of them had a similar att.i.tude.

After Jiang Ming left, he whispered to Qian Yuan beside him, “Uncle Qian, help me investigate Mo Yan and her husband.”

“Young master, you said you saw someone who looked like fourth young master Huo in C City. Could it be that you’re talking about Miss Mo’s husband?”

“Hmm, you noticed? Did I make it very obvious?” Jiang Ming asked with a frown.

Qian Yuan recalled what happened just now and said, “Young Master, you’re acting a little anxious.”

“Then investigate as soon as possible! No matter what you find, don’t take any action for the time being.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The two of them were talking as they walked. Their voices were not loud, so no one heard them.

Over here, Luo Tao looked at the backs of the two of them with a deep gaze.

“Who are they?” Luo Tao asked.

Mo Yan followed his gaze and shook her head. “I’m not too familiar with them.” After she finished, she continued to explain, “Previously, when I wore the jade bracelet to the company, Chen Ya said that I was wearing a fake. Then, I met this manager Qian from Hongye Company who came to the company to discuss something, so I asked him to do an appraisal.”

“Okay, stay away from them in the future.”

“Okay.” Mo Yan agreed without hesitation.

Hearing her straightforward answer, Luo Tao was stunned for a moment and asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me the reason?”

Mo Yan chuckled. “They don’t seem like good people, interrogating you the first time they met you! Even if they’re using this jade bracelet as a cover, my jade bracelet isn’t for sale, so why are they paying so much attention to it? Are they really just looking? It shouldn’t be that simple! Moreover, I feel that they’re more curious about the person who gave me the jade bracelet than the jade bracelet.”

Luo Tao’s eyes were filled with gratification as he stroked Mo Yan’s head. Mo Yan pulled his hand down unhappily.

“You’ve messed up my hair.”

Looking at her hair that was slightly ruffled by his touch, Luo Tao coughed lightly, “It’s alright! It’s not messed up.”
