Mu Hanyan took Huayue and Zirong directly to the north of the city. Standing at a street corner, they gazed at a restaurant in the distance. This unassuming restaurant actually held a hidden gem. The owner behind it was none other than the Zhou family, a long-established family in Blackrock City.

The true mastermind behind the plot to molest Miss Zhao Si was actually the Zhao and Zhou families, along with members of several other minor clans. Mu Cheng was essentially a pawn. Even if it turned out that Mu Hanyan was wrongly accused, Mu Cheng would still be the one to take the blame. Miss Zhao Si was the victim, and this woman was also a top-notch character.

Miss Zhao Si is always shy and timid in front of others, looking delicate and weak, easily on the verge of tears, making people feel that others have bullied her. Many young ladies from aristocratic families have been tricked by her. Before they even do anything, she will burst into tears of grievance, then plead with others that it is none of their business, that it is all her own problem. Others are even more distressed. Oh my, Miss Zhao Si has been wronged and doesn't blame others. How kind! Look at how well she uses this bitch tactics. Therefore, in Black Stone City, Miss Zhao Si really has no friends of the same sex, and her only interactions are with men.

Being schemed against by such a woman was indeed enough to make Mu Hanyan feel sick. So, today she really had to settle this account.

"Huayue, I want you to do this..." Mu Hanyan turned around and gave Huayue an order. Huayue nodded in agreement, her eyes firm.

"Zirong, follow me." After Mu Hanyan said this to Zirong, she looked at the street. It was already past noon, and the streets were becoming increasingly crowded. She believed the show that was about to begin would be truly exciting.

In a hall in the backyard of the restaurant.

Miss Zhao Si's face flushed slightly as she drank her second glass of wine. Normally, she wouldn't drink so early in the morning, but she'd been feeling quite happy lately, especially today, when they'd discussed what was next.

"My grandfather has already contacted the various major families. We're going to the City Lord's Mansion to demand justice in the next two days. When the time is right, we'll unite and challenge him. I want to see how the City Lord ends up this time. Having such a spoiled and foolish son is truly a blessing he's earned through many lifetimes, hahaha. It won't be long before the City Lordship will be replaced." The young man, laughing with ecstasy, was the second young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi was cunning and sly, always resorting to shady and underhanded methods to achieve his goals. Zhou Qi's father disliked him, but the patriarch of the Zhou family, his grandfather, was very fond of him. He always felt that Zhou Qi would bring glory to the Zhou family in the future, and the patriarch of the Zhou family praised his underhanded methods as a sign that those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters.

"When your grandfather becomes the city lord, you will have done a great deed. But don't forget me." Miss Zhao Si said to Zhou Qi with a blushing face and a loving look.

"How could I forget, my confidante? You will be my legitimate wife in the future." Zhou Qi laughed heartily, his laughter frivolous. Inwardly, he scoffed, wondering who would want to marry such a woman. She's two-faced and bitchy. Marrying her would surely bring unrest to the family. He still preferred gentle and dignified women. Just because he preferred to use extreme means to achieve his goals didn't mean he also liked such dark and vicious women. It seemed Zhou Qi was aware of his own character.
