Zhao Qingzhu never expected that the Nameless Tower would ask her to kill someone, and that person would be Zhu Yunwen.

She wasn't particularly interested in doing these tasks to begin with. The reason she asked who to kill was simply because there was just too much jewelry in that box.

If she's killing a guilty person, someone who deserves to die, then she wouldn't mind making the money.

If she were killing someone who hadn't committed any crime, she wouldn't do it no matter how much money she received.

But to everyone's surprise, it was Zhu Yunwen who was killed.

That made it even more impossible. At the same time, she was furious and determined to find out whoever had paid for the murder.

Faced with Zhao Qingzhu's sudden outburst of anger, the waiter at the nameless restaurant spoke righteously:

"How can I tell you about the client's information? Wouldn't that break the rules?"

Zhao Qingzhu's face darkened, and she said:

"If you don't tell, you're probably in for a rough time today."

The waiter said, "Even if you hit me, I can't tell you. You know, at Wuminglou, we absolutely cannot reveal the information of our patrons. So we absolutely cannot tell you who they are, even if we are caught, tortured, and threatened with death, we absolutely cannot reveal the information of our patrons."

However, after saying this, Zhao Qingzhu narrowed her eyes, and then she revealed a cold smile.

...

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

The waiter, his face bruised and swollen, his body aching, and blood gushing from his mouth, lay sprawled on the ground, saying to Zhao Qingzhu:

"It is... a woman who looks elegant and noble, and her status is extraordinary. I guess... she may also be a member of the royal family."

Clearly, despite his professional ethics, he couldn't withstand the beating and quickly revealed the information about the financial backer.

So Zhao Qingzhu said calmly, "Go and investigate for me immediately. I need to know who this woman is by tomorrow morning, and it must be accurate information."

The waiter hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away..."

As he spoke, he struggled to his feet and reached for the box of gold and silver jewelry, but Zhao Qingzhu frowned and said:

"You still want this money?"

The waiter hurriedly said, "No, I just wanted to pick it up and hand it to you..."

As he spoke, he handed a box of gold and silver jewelry to Zhao Qingzhu.

Zhao Qingzhu snorted and uttered a single word indifferently:

"roll."

The waiter then scrambled away from the Zhao family in a hurry.

Nothing more was said that night!

The next morning, the waiter came to Zhao Qingzhu's house again and said outside Zhao Qingzhu's door:

"It has been found out that the woman was the Crown Princess of the former Crown Prince and the mother of the current Prince Jianwen."

Inside the room, Zhao Qingzhu spoke calmly:

"knew!"

The waiter then left.

So Zhao Qingzhu took a box of gold and silver jewelry and went to the palace to see Zhu Yunwen.

Upon arriving at the East Palace, Zhu Yunwen saw Zhao Qingzhu coming to see him, carrying a box, and couldn't help but smile and say:

"Why did you come to see me so early today? Is there something you need?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:

"Yes, something is indeed wrong." Then, she placed the box on the ground and opened it.

Upon seeing the gold and silver jewelry inside, Zhu Yunwen exclaimed in surprise:

"This much must be worth at least ten thousand taels of silver, right?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said, "That's right. This is the money someone paid to kill you. It was found by the person in the underworld who is responsible for contacting assassins and handed over to me."

Zhu Yunwen laughed and said, "How did it end up in your hands? Are you asking me to kill someone?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:

"That's right. There's a list of top martial arts masters in the martial arts world, and they ranked me third. This murder deal worth ten thousand taels of silver isn't something an ordinary person can do, so they came to me and wanted to hire me."

I originally thought that if the person I was to kill was a heinous, utterly wicked villain, I could accept the mission. But I never expected it to be you.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, looking at the chest full of gold and silver treasures, and said to Zhao Qingzhu:

"It must be the Lü family."

Zhao Qingzhu looked at Zhu Yuntong with a puzzled expression and said:

How did you know?

Zhu Yunwen touched his nose and explained, "This box contains mostly women's jewelry, so it should belong to one woman."

The jewelry was rather understated and dignified, befitting a woman. Some of it was even jewelry reserved for royalty. Among the royal family, the only one who could produce so much jewelry and intend to kill me is probably Lady Lü.”

Zhao Qingzhu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the results he had obtained after having someone investigate all night would be known to Zhu Yuntong with just a glance at the gold and silver jewelry.

This made her realize once again that she was physically strong, while Zhu Yunwen was intellectually strong.

"So how do you plan to handle this?" Zhao Qingzhu asked.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Of course I won't let this go. I promised my two sisters that I would make this Lady Lü pay the price. But I never expected that she would continue to court death? Since that's the case, I won't be polite either. Let's take this opportunity to settle things once and for all."

Zhao Qingzhu didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Zhu Yunwen was definitely planning something with his intelligence.

He only said one sentence:

"Is there anything I can do?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Of course, you don't mind helping me kill someone, do you?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind. I said that if it's a truly wicked person, I'm definitely willing to kill them."
