Chapter 360: Young Master Shu from the Shu Family
As the attendant struggled, his hood slipped, revealing most of his face. Shu Yu was extremely familiar with that face. After all, she had spent so many years in the Shu family, and even though they didn't interact much, the appearances of the Shu family members were firmly imprinted in her mind. She never expected that Shu Feng, the young master of the Shu family, would appear here. Moreover, he was disguised as an attendant. Even though he intentionally smeared his face and messed up his appearance, Shu Yu immediately recognized him. His disguise was clearly insufficient. What surprised Shu Yu even more was that the Shu family was currently under close scrutiny, and they dared not make any reckless moves. Yet Shu Feng, such a significant target, had quietly made his way to the black market in Jiangyuan County. Should she say that the Shu family had deep-rooted influence and power in Dong'an Prefecture, or should she say that the people under Xiang Weinan were too negligent? While Shu Yu watched as Shu Feng adjusted his hood again, she narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to Da Niu, saying, "Go find Master Shan immediately. Tell him that the painting is in this person's hands, and we can switch it without being noticed." Da Niu was puzzled, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't have time to ask for details. He turned around and hurriedly left. Only then did Shu Yu turn her gaze to Shu Feng, who had already fixed his hood. She didn't know if Zhao Xi had recognized Shu Feng, but it seemed that he hadn't. Approaching with a smile, Shu Yu stopped Zhao Xi and apologized to Shu Feng, "I'm sorry, my brother here can be impulsive. He lost his money pouch and is worried about being blamed by our master, so he just wanted to clarify the situation. Please forgive him." Shu Feng adjusted his hood and snorted, "Unbelievable! Just because he's impulsive, does that give him the right to wrongfully accuse others? And he even dared to lay hands on me!" He pointed at the black market staff nearby and continued, "And you, what kind of rules does your black market have? Allowing guests to be manhandled like this, what a joke." The black market staff continuously apologized on the side, and Shu Yu took the opportunity to whisper in Zhao Xi's ear, "Find a chance to remove this person's clothes." Zhao Xi looked at her in shock. "What the hell? When did you become so bold?" Shu Yu continued, "This person is Shu Feng. The painting must be on him." She had been wondering why the buyer, knowing the value of the painting, had stayed calmly in the private room without leaving. So, it turned out that Shu Feng, disguised as an attendant, had taken the painting out first. No wonder he had left the auction building and headed straight for the entrance of the courtyard. Was he planning to leave unnoticed when nobody was paying attention? Who could have imagined that the auction item would be taken away by someone who appeared to have no connection to it, as if they were just going to the bathroom for some fresh air? Upon hearing this, Zhao Xi was even more shocked. This person was Shu Feng? What the hell was Lord Xiang doing? He had let such a significant person come to Jiangyuan County and almost take away such crucial evidence. Zhao Xi furrowed his brow tightly, realizing that he couldn't let Shu Feng leave. Finally, after the black market staff managed to calm Shu Feng down, perhaps because Shu Feng himself didn't want to cause a big scene, he straightened his clothes and said to Zhao Xi, "You also took off my hood earlier. I'm clearly not the person you're looking for, and I don't have the money pouch you mentioned. Can I leave now?" Zhao Xi sneered, "That's because you acted suspiciously. How can I be blamed for that?"
