Chapter 1461: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1461: Anning Doesn't Understand
Shu Yu thought for a moment and asked An Ning, "When Young Master Tan came down from the hill, did he ask Jiang Kuanyu what was up there and why someone was guarding it?"
"Yes, Jiang Kuanyu told Young Master Tan that it was a black market, and he understood," An Ning said, looking puzzled. "But I don't quite understand, Second Sister. What is a black market? What do they do there? Is it something shady and problematic?"
Shu Yu replied, "..."
Well, the young girl is still too young, and some things she might not grasp even if she hears about them.
She carefully chose her words and said, "A black market is a place for underground transactions, where illegal goods are bought and sold. Strictly speaking, it's against the law."
An Ning's eyes widened in surprise, "Against the law? No wonder Jiang Kuanyu was so nervous and didn't let Young Master Tan go up."
She seemed to have an epiphany and then became anxious, "Oh no, Second Sister, the black market is so close to our estate and Sunflower Village. What if something happens, or what if criminals from the black market come to cause trouble?"
Shu Yu almost choked. Criminals in the black market now??
She quickly reassured the worried young girl, "Don't worry, the black market was shut down and sold off last year. There's not a single person there now, let alone criminals."
An Ning looked puzzled, "Shut down?"
"Yes, it probably couldn't sustain its operations," Shu Yu said ambiguously. After a moment, she spoke seriously to An Ning, "Although the black market here is closed, there are still such markets in other places. If you ever hear about or come across them, stay far away, okay?"
An Ning nodded emphatically, "Of course, what if there are murderers inside?"
Shu Yu sighed inwardly.
Since An Ning now understood what the black market was all about, her attention returned to the scroll on the table. After thinking earnestly for a while, she straightened up and said confidently, "Second Sister, in that case, the culprit must be Jiang Kuanyu, right? The black market is illegal, and he knows the address so well; he might be involved with them."
She emphatically nodded her head, eagerly looking at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu's mouth twitched. Many people know the address of the black market, especially those with connections, wealth, and backgrounds in Dong'an City or the surrounding counties.
It's not surprising for Jiang Kuanyu, who comes from a prominent family and is only four kilometers away from the black market.
It's probably because Young Master Tan is completely devoted to studying the classics and doesn't understand these matters, that he almost stumbled into the mountain unknowingly.
But Master Tan should be aware of it, that's why when Tan Cheng asked about the place, Jiang Kuanyu didn't hide it from him.
However, An Ning's suspicion wasn't entirely baseless. Among the three paintings in front of them, Jiang Kuanyu seemed to be the most suspicious.
She lowered her head and faced An Ning's expectant gaze, smiling gently, "You're right, your reasoning makes sense."
An Ning got confirmation and became more excited, "I came up with that myself. My brain is working fast now."
She then became indignant, "How can Jiang Kuanyu be so bad? He and Young Master Tan are good friends, yet he poisoned him. I used to think he was a good person because he helped
