After Tao Ran finished speaking, he saw the extremely young poster staring at him thoughtfully.

That look was neither one of surprise nor of contempt, but a distant gaze, seeming both familiar and unfamiliar.

This look made Tao Ran feel a little strange, but she didn't feel repulsed.

Ning Zhishui withdrew his gaze, feeling a little sad.

In her previous life, when she met Tao Qi, he had already experienced those disasters, and Zhu Xin's death was a huge blow to her.

If there was fire in Tao Ran's eyes at this moment, then there was silence in Tao Qi's eyes.

From the timeline, we can know that Zhang Zhaohai killed Zhu Xin just before the spiritual vein was about to open. Then he had to busy himself with the matters concerning the spiritual vein and never came to Zuifeng Tower again.

In other words, the time is these few days.

Ning Zhishui met everyone and let them go without saying anything. Then he left Zuifeng Tower by himself, leaving Hua Jiaqing behind.

No one thought there was anything unusual. Since the owner of the post had changed, it was reasonable for the new owner to show up and take a look. It would be reasonable for them to not recognize her when they met her in the future.

The stewards asked everyone to go back to their rooms and told them to be well behaved and not cause trouble in the near future so as not to upset the new owner.

Tao Ran turned around and went back to her room, still thinking about the strange look Ning Zhishui had given her when they met, but suddenly she heard a voice -

"Taoran, come with me."

Tao Ran turned around and saw the new manager Hua looking at her, with no expression to show whether he was happy or angry.

Strange, first it was the OP, and then it was her confidant... What does this mean?

Tao Ran was confused, but she didn't dare to disobey. She agreed and walked towards Hua Jiaqing.

Zhu Xin, who was about to return to her room, stopped and looked at Tao Ran with some concern. Tao Ran shook her head at her and followed Hua Jiaqing into a room.

After the two entered the house, they closed the door, leaving only Fu Shu to guard outside.

Ever since Hua Jiaqing became the manager, she had called Fu Shu to her side, so now Fu Shu is only under Hua Jiaqing's management, and has also become Ning Zhishui's person in public.

"Manager Hua."

Tao Ran came in and called someone, then waited for Hua Jiaqing to speak.

"Zhang Zhaohai comes to the building recently and calls on you every time, right?" Hua Jiaqing asked.

When Tao Ran heard the name Zhang Zhaohai, her body stiffened.

She lowered her head to hide the overwhelming hatred in her eyes and hummed in response.

"Do you want him to die?" Hua Jiaqing asked again.

Tao Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at Hua Jiaqing in panic, "How did you..." know?

Of course Tao Ran wanted Zhang Zhaohai to die. This idea had existed since the second time she served him, and it became stronger and stronger as time went by.

However, the opponent's cultivation level was higher than hers, and he seemed to be very wary of anyone close to him, which made it difficult to take action.

Tao Ran is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that even if he pays with his life, he still won't be able to drag the beast to be buried with him!

She gritted her teeth, her body trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists.

She didn't give an answer, but her reaction was already a firm answer.

"If you want to kill him, I have a way. Are you willing to believe me?" Hua Jiaqing asked.

Tao Ran was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's the solution?"

"On the night he comes, use this incense for more than a quarter of an hour before you go to see him, and then stay in the same room with him. But please note that you need to close the doors and windows in advance, and wait for half an hour for it to take effect." Hua Jiaqing took out a bottle.

Tao Ran's eyes lit up, "Is this all it takes for him to die?"

"No, he won't die, at least not right away." Hua Jiaqing stroked the bottle in his hand. "The poison will be buried in his body, just waiting for him to get angry. Whenever he gets angry, he will die."

Is there such a strange poison in the world?

"What if he doesn't get angry for a year or two? Can the poison be buried for a year?" Tao Ran asked doubtfully.

Hua Jiaqing responded, "Do you think he'll go a year without getting angry?"

Tao Ran didn't say anything.

Indeed not. Zhang Zhaohai has a strange temper and is moody. You never know when he might lose his temper.

Not only does he vent his anger on them, he also often vents his anger on the people around him.

"Why do you want to kill him? Do you have a grudge against him?" Tao Ran asked.

Hua Jiaqing shook her head, "I have no grudge against him."

"Could it be the host..."

"The landlord doesn't recognize him either."

Why is that?

Tao Ran was puzzled.

Although Zhang Zhaohai was hateful, he was a wealthy man and a distinguished guest in the building.

From the perspective of interests, both the owner of the building and Manager Hua should greet him with a smile, because that is what the previous managers did.

They knew Zhang Zhaohai's cruelty, but as long as he paid them enough and they could get benefits, they would turn a blind eye.

As for how much suffering women endure, what does it have to do with them?

But now Hua Jiaqing suddenly helps me, why?

"Master Ning said that since we're all women, we should naturally help each other. And since she's the master, you're all hers, so she'll naturally protect you." Hua Jiaqing handed the medicine bottle to Tao Ran. "Use it carefully, and don't reveal your intentions. There's only this one bottle of medicine, and it's extremely valuable. Also, put your own safety first."

Tao Ran was already shocked when Hua Jiaqing said those words.

She just subconsciously tightened the bottle in her hand, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and then she watched Hua Jiaqing open the door and walk out.

Tao Ran walked out, collected her thoughts, and returned to her room calmly, as if nothing had happened.

During the conversation, someone secretly observed her expression, as if trying to figure out what Manager Hua had said to her, but of course they couldn't see anything.

"So, Tao Ran, what did Manager Hua tell you? Did you do something wrong, and she's here to intimidate you?"

As soon as she returned to the room, Zhu Xin ran over hurriedly and asked nervously.

Tao Ran is wild and difficult to tame, and has always been a troublemaker in the building.

It’s just that her style is so unique, you can’t find another one like her in the whole building, so the customers who like her love her very much.

For example, Zhang Zhaohai always orders Tao Ran every time he comes.

But the managers didn't like her very much and always wanted to suppress her temper. Zhu Xin was worried that Manager Hua was the same.

"No…she gave me this."

Tao Ran stretched out his palm, revealing the bottle in his hand.

She naturally wouldn't tell others, but Zhu Xin was different.

From coming to the building more than ten years ago to now, if it weren't for Zhu Xin's repeated care, Tao Ran would not be alive today.

Zhu Xin was stunned after hearing her words, "Did Manager Hua really say that?"

"Yeah." Tao Ran nodded and put the bottle away. "For some reason, I believe her."
