However, she still didn't dare be certain of the person behind all of this.

If it was An Yang's doing again, she would have no choice but to retaliate. However, it wasn't good to just randomly find people to confront him. There had to be evidence.

”From now on, you have to be more careful when you're selling things. If you're not a regular customer, you should pay more attention. There might be people who are plotting against you.”

Qiu Hong understood. After hearing Su Zhi's words, she also understood.

”Boss, our shop was only cleaned up once last time, wasn't it? Is it the same person? ”

Su Zhi shook her head, somewhat at a loss. ”I'm not sure. I think so, but I can't guarantee it. After all, there's no evidence.”

”Then, how about we find Young Master Li and check it out?”

This was a good method. She knew that Li Wuyou had the ability to investigate a case. If she let him do it, she might find out very soon.

”Sure, make a trip to the Black Cloud Stronghold and tell him that I want to ask him to investigate something.”

”Alright, this little one will do it right away.”

After Qiu Hong left, Su Zhi was still unable to calm down. When she thought of the people who carried the Gu on their backs, she could not help but worry about the flowery situation.

What was even more troubling was that she already vaguely knew that this matter would only be the beginning and not the end.

But who could it be? Was it his peers who were jealous? Or was it An Yang's doing?

Zhao manor, deep in the garden.

The ten fingers of the man playing the zither flapped as the originally steady melody abruptly rose in height. The rapidly rising zither music was accompanied by a faint killing intent.

The Dragon-Li cat curled up at the man's feet hissed sharply and ran away with its four feet.

After a while, the zither music slowly came to an end.

The bamboo leaves that were scattered about due to the murderous aura fell to the ground, causing the red plum blossoms beside the pavilion to be unable to endure the torment and be crushed by Ying Xue's pressure.

Zhao Jian had heard the zither music from far away. He waited until the sound had died down before speeding up his pace and rushing to the pavilion by the side of the water.

”Zheng'er should know that the plan has failed.”

The man with the slightly closed eyes nodded his head, his face expressionless.

The flying bamboo leaves were bounced off before they could get close.

Zhao Zheng fiddled with the zither strings and suddenly laughed, ”Interesting. This woman is together with Xiao Qian and has some relationship with Shen Zhu. Now that there's a new heir, it doesn't seem like it's clear who the Liu Family is before. ”He really is amazing, to be able to pull out so many influential people.”

After laughing, she answered her own question, ”That's right, she is Old Su's daughter after all.”

Back then, that man whose name was renowned throughout the world, no matter how many people could compare to him by a single finger, his own little sister would never be that bad.

Zhao Jian looked a little depressed. His plan had failed and he was getting anxious.

”Now that the matter has been suppressed by Xuan City's young crown prince, it's impossible for us to take the opportunity to cause a huge ruckus.”

”What's there to be afraid of? One trick doesn't produce two tricks.” ”Send them to keep an eye on the Hu Shang scouts, we can make some noise now.”

”That's fine, then we'll start from the Hu Merchants' side.”

Zhao Zheng stood up and brushed the wrinkles off his clothes. With his hands behind his back, he stared at the ground covered in red, lost in thought. When he looked at the red plum blossom on the branch, he couldn't help smiling. ”I heard that the girl called Little Dou Bao was picked up by that woman. She sent someone to investigate where the girl's biological parents were.”

”Zheng'er, what are you planning this time?”

”Hmph, she came to Xuan City without saying a word and wanted to live a peaceful life? I'm afraid it'll be difficult. ”

Zhao Jian understood and immediately sent his servants to deal with this matter.

Zhao Zheng stood under the red plum tree and put a plum blossom under his nose. He suddenly thought of the smiling man from many years ago.

”Su Junyi, did you expect that your Su Clan would not perish?”

He plucked a plum flower and twirled it between his fingers. His movements were gentle, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.

No matter what, he wouldn't let any of the Su Family go this time.
