Balala the Magic Fairy

Chapter 342 Fisherman's Cage (72)

Yan Lili and others are burying themselves in mountains of information, trying to find a way to deal with Xiang Huaqiang.

Just then, the door of the study was pushed open and a figure appeared at the door.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Lan." Zhang Lan's voice is powerful, deep and magnetic, with the restraint of a mature man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Yan Lili looked up and her eyes met his. She could feel the powerful aura emanating from this person and instantly determined that this was no ordinary person.

Zhang Lan wore a pair of black-framed glasses, with a round face under his short hair and a bit of baby fat on his cheeks. He was tall, muscular, and very strong, the type that was more bear-like than sturdy, giving people a sense of being a down-to-earth husband.

"I heard that you are researching something about Xiang Huaqiang. Maybe I can provide some help." Zhang Lan's expression was indifferent, making people feel a little distant. In addition, his lips were thin and not rosy, which made people feel that this person was a little dull.

Yan Lili stood up and saluted politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhang Lan. We do need more information to fight Xiang Huaqiang."

Zhang Lan nodded, his eyes stayed on Yan Lili for a moment, then turned to the others: "Welcome everyone to my home tonight, I will tell you everything you want to know then."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lili and Xiaoyue exchanged glances and understood each other.

Immediately, he agreed to Zhang Lan's invitation.

Zhang Lan's home is located in the center of the Eluosi Empire. It is a typical ancient castle with a solemn and elegant appearance.

Walking into the house, a warm atmosphere hits you. The decoration inside the house is mainly warm colors, there are exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the furniture is exquisite yet elegant.

When everyone entered the room, Zhang Lan's hostess Ling Yan was already waiting in the living room. She was wearing a red dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked noble. She smiled and greeted Yan Lili and the others: "Hello, I am Zhang Lan's hostess Ling Yan."

Yan Lili and others introduced themselves one by one, and then Ling Yan warmly invited them to sit down and ordered people to serve exquisite refreshments.

"Mr. Zhang Lan, can you tell us more about Xiang Huaqiang?" Yan Lili took a sip of tea and asked straight to the point.

Zhang Lan nodded, his eyes gradually becoming deeper: "Xiang Huaqiang once loved me, but I already had a master at that time, but she kept pestering me and even threatened my master to give me to her. But my master refused, so she was resentful and eventually embarked on this road of no return."

Yan Lili and others listened quietly. They could feel the helplessness and fear in Zhang Lan's words.

"It seems that we have to find a way to find her first and make her let go of the resentment in her heart." Yan Lili said.

Zhang Lan nodded: "I have an item here that she once cherished very much. She has always wanted to take it from me, but I have never given it to her. You may be able to use it to lure Xiang Huaqiang out."

As he spoke, he took out a white sock embroidered with a golden phoenix from his arms. Inside the sock was a blooming black lotus embroidered on it.

Yan Lili took the socks, she could smell the scent of Xiang Huaqiang lingering on them.

At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly said, "I have a question. If Xiang Huaqiang is so powerful, why doesn't she come and cause trouble for you directly, but instead resorts to these conspiracies and intrigues?"

Zhang Lan sighed: "Because her goal is not just to take revenge on me, she wants revenge on all the men in this country. Maybe she knows that she has no chance of winning against us alone, so she chose this safer way to achieve her goal."

Yan Lili nodded and thought to herself: Xiang Huaqiang is so meticulous that she may be difficult to deal with. He must be careful.

"So what should we do next?" Lou Yixiao asked.

Yan Lili stood up and said, "Now that we know the cause and effect, let's take action on our own!"

She handed the white socks to Xiaoyue, and then said to Zhang Lan and Ling Yan: "Thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely live up to your trust and solve the problem of Xianghua Qiang for you."

Zhang Lan and Ling Yan stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Please be careful, we are waiting for your good news."

Yan Lili nodded, and took Xiaoyue, Zhu Bajie and Lou Yixiao away from Zhang Lan's home to look for Xiang Huaqiang.
