Chapter 271: Xiang Weinan Suspects Shu Yu
Chapter 271: Xiang Weinan Suspects Shu Yu Xiang Weinan snapped back to reality and patted his forehead. "Oh, right, right, I almost forgot about this. The Jiang family has been in turmoil lately, and Jiang Li indeed doesn't have the time to come looking for her." Hu Li nodded in agreement. Xiang Weinan asked, "Did the Jiang family file a report? Any leads on the culprit?" "No, Inspector Shi and his team have searched for a few suspicious individuals, but none of them matched the person Jiang Li described. The Jiang family hasn't found any leads either. It's all chaos." The truth was, they were busy, and who had the time to help a spoiled playboy seek justice for a personal grudge? As long as the person wasn't seriously harmed, a superficial effort would be enough. It would be better to allocate the remaining manpower to find Miss Lu's fourth uncle. Xiang Weinan sat down and began to contemplate. "Do you think this is too much of a coincidence? Jiang Li had just set his sights on Lu Shu Yu, and then he got his head bashed in." Hu Li looked puzzled. "Are you suggesting that Miss Lu is involved in this?" "Well, I suspect that the suspicious individual might be someone she secretly hired. The Lu family didn't have money before, but now that they've opened a shop, it's possible for them to gather a few dozen taels to hire someone." A few dozen taels? If Shu Yu heard this statement, she would probably roll her eyes. Forget about a few dozen taels, she felt that even hiring someone for a few dozen coins to harm Jiang Li was beneath her dignity. But she didn't expect that the first person to suspect her would be Xiang Weinan, the highest-ranking official in Jiangyuan County. Fortunately, it was just a speculation without evidence, and she would never admit to such things. At this point, the group had arrived at the pavilion where Master Wen and the other scholars were engaged in a lively discussion. They didn't want to interrupt, so they sat nearby and waited. Master Wen was passionately discussing various topics with the scholars, and it was not appropriate to disturb them. So they decided to wait patiently. Da Hu listened attentively, even though he couldn't understand a word. But it didn't hinder his enthusiasm. His eyes were shining, his small hands clenched tightly, and he was visibly excited. Unlike the enthusiastic Da Hu, Lu Sanzhu was bored and regretted following Shu Yu and the others here. If he had known, he would have suggested going home when they finished their snacks at the Wen family. Lu Sanzhu sighed and leaned tiredly against the railing, listening to the chirping of insects and the singing of birds in the peach blossom forest. He was about to doze off when a loud shout came from Master Wen's group, "Excellent!" It startled him awake. Upon waking up, Lu Sanzhu felt annoyed. He detested being awakened from a perfectly good nap. If it weren't for Shu Yu by his side, he would have cursed at the person. Feeling impatient, Lu Sanzhu glanced at Shu Yu and Da Hu, who were both focused on the pavilion in front. His eyes darted around, and without making a sound, he quietly stood up and took a few steps back before swiftly slipping away. Shu Yu noticed his departure but didn't mind. Lu Sanzhu was a grown man, and she couldn't keep him tethered to her all the time. As long as he didn't cause trouble, he was free to leave. Besides, Master Wen and his friends were wrapping up and preparing to rest. Immediately, Madam stepped forward. She handed a handkerchief to Master Wen, wiping the sweat off his face while speaking softly. After a while, Master Wen and his friends turned their heads and looked at Shu Yu and Da Hu. Da Hu straightened his back instantly, clutching his bag strap and blinking his eyes. Master Wen smiled and waved at him in a friendly manner. "Are you Lu Da Hu? Come here, let me have a look at you." Da Hu glanced back at Shu Yu, and she gently nudged him. "Go ahead." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
