Chapter 464: Chapter 451: Send to the Government Office

“This person, not only harbors malicious intent, but is also remarkably meticulous…”

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips, her head lowered in thought.

It has to be said, this crime incident was a meticulously planned act of purposeful harm. Identifying the culprit would be no easy task.

However, every action leaves traces that one can uncover.

The challenge lies in how to find it.

Zhuang Qingning’s brows knitted together in concentration.

Fang Hou couldn’t sit still and started pacing, grinding his teeth, “If I discover who dared to plot against my young master, I won’t let them off lightly!”

Not just him, the entire Cheng family wouldn’t let the villain who harmed them off lightly!

“Calm down.” Zhuang Qingning raised her head, her gaze cold, “The crucial issue now is how to uncover this person.”

Hearing this, Fang Hou’s clenched fists tightened even more. After a moment, he helplessly unclenched his hands.

They were in plain sight while the villains lurked in the dark. Unmasking them was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

“I still remember the face of the medicine apprentice who asked for my help in the diagnosis. We can question him, go up the chain, and find some leads.” Zhuang Wencheng suggested.

“No.” Zhuang Qingning shook her head, “The enemy bold enough to do this must have already prepared themselves. If you accuse him now, he would not admit to it and instead, say you are making unfounded accusations.”

“Moreover, this would only serve to alert the snake in the grass, making the enemy more cautious and possibly plot to harm Manager Cheng again…”

“Then what should we do?” Fang Hou had begun to itch in anxiety.

“There’s a way, but you have to cooperate, and moreover, Brother Wencheng will have to make a sacrifice.” Zhuang Qingning looked at Fang Hou and Zhuang Wencheng.

To catch the person who targeted Cheng Ruize, Fang Hou agreed without hesitation, “Just name the task, Manager Zhuang.”

Zhuang Wencheng also added, “If it wasn’t for you, Little Sister Ning, I might already be in deep trouble. To think I was framed for no reason, I feel wronged. If I can find the perpetrator, a little discomfort is nothing.”

Since they all agreed, Zhuang Qingning didn’t hesitate anymore, “I have to trouble you, Mr. Fang, to take Brother Wencheng to the Government Office, find Master Ding of the county, and say that Wencheng has made a medical blunder and harmed your third young master …”

Take Zhuang Wencheng to the Government Office?

Fang Hou’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground in surprise.

Cheng Ruize felt as if he had been plunged into endless darkness.

Without a single glimmer of light, he could not see anything.

All he felt was a constant falling, falling again…

Suddenly, there was a light in front of him.

But it was an endless sea of fire, raging and burning like mad, the flames seemed like viper tongues darting outward, about to wind around him. Cheng Ruize wanted to struggle, but found that his body was immobile. He could only watch as he was about to be engulfed by the flames.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the endless darkness overhead, the gap was constantly widening and enlarging…

Golden light seeped out from the cracks, while amidst that dazzling gold, a soft and slender hand extended out, firmly grabbing his motionless hand.
