Sima You Yue glanced at him, not afraid that he would be angry.

“Are you so certain that I won’t be angry at you?” Di Zhe slapped her hand away while many pairs of eyes were watching.

“Yes!” She answered confidently, she wasn’t angry despite her hand being slapped as she passed him her handkerchief.

Di Zhe took the handkerchief as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, with the fresh scar still hurting.

“I wasn’t returning his past favours, I just didn’t want to forget the little warmth from that year.” Di Zhe explained.

“I know.” Sima You Yue understood how he felt. His life was filled with darkness, hopelessness and loneliness before he met Yu Ke Luo. Third Elder Di should have given him a good life as his Grandfather. He should have been the one protecting him, but it would be hard under those circumstances.

Also, he didn’t want to forget those times too as it was still his past even though it was dark.

“Thank you.” Di Zhe thanked her for standing up for him and for understanding him.

“You don’t have to thank me, but what is up with Meng Ru Ji?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Meng Ru Ji is one of Ghost Concubine’s men and he is also Meng clan’s second-in-command. We found out that he was helping the Ghost Concubine to contact the Prince from below, so we killed him. The Di clan’s finances has always been reliant on the Meng Clan.” Di Zhe didn’t explain much but Sima You Yue understood what was going on.

The Meng clan would not let this matter go since he had killed Meng Ru Ji. However, they couldn’t do anything to Di Zhe so they vented their anger on the Di Clan by restricting them financially.

Even though the Di Clan was very angry at Di Zhe after learning about it, he wasn’t the little boy whom anyone could bully, he was now the Killing God. Anyone who got on his nerves had to be careful. No one from Di Clan dared to approach him except for Third Elder Di.

“Third Elder Di is fine, he will go out to take a breather from time to time. He is easily persuaded by others. But he always thought that he had a say in the Clan, that’s why such a thing happened.” Di Liu added in a soft voice.

Di Zhe shot a glare at him that he stiffened up and muttered to himself, wondering why he had to comment so much.

“Are the finances in the Meng Clan that great?” Sima You Yue questioned.

“Yes, they are the biggest business clan in Imperial Capital. One third of the businesses in Imperial Capital belong to the Meng Clan.” Di Zhe said.

Sima You Yue muttered, no one could beat his willfulness since he dared to kill the second-in-command of such a clan.

“Do you intend to deal with the Meng Clan as well?” Although it sounded like she was asking, her voice sounded confident.

“Yes.” Di Zhe admitted, “Ghost Concubine’s finances are heavily dependent on the Meng Clan. We will first have to deal with the Meng Clan before we can deal with Ghost Concubine.”

“Since it has to do with dealing with Ghost Concubine, let me know if there’s anything I can do.” Sima You Yue said.

“I won’t and I don’t intend to stand on ceremony.” Di Zhe said.

“Are you not going to thank me?”

“Do I really have to?”

“You thanked me earlier on.”
