Bab 390: Before the Storm

"We've discovered that Qiao Yuan boarded the vessel at Wen Bu. He was riding on one of the vessels we lost! He then entered the city alone from the forest with a large quantity of wild animal pelts on his back." Yan Pei was flushed red, and his voice was as clear as a bell. After so many days with no progress, the old man had become distraught. Now, to suddenly have found a clue, the old man's spirits were stirred.

While Zeng Yushan had been looking at the description of Qiao Yuan in the Black-Line Star Listing, he had wondered whether he had any connection to the snow shuttle vessels being seized. An ace suddenly showing up among the top 100 in the Black-Line Star Listing had gotten his attention. When he had told his suspicions to Yan Pei, Yan Pei had immediately organized a party to investigate the matter.

Qiao Yuan certainly knows what actually happened! Zeng Yushan and Yan Pei had the same thought simultaneously.
