Hu Shaoan's status is very important. If he really died and the crime was traced back to his cousin, Hu Shaoan's parents would definitely seek revenge regardless of their relationship status.
But what if he survived but his reputation was tarnished and he became a disgrace to the Hu family?
Even if Hu Shaoan goes back, he can't compete with his cousin anymore. Even if he knows that he was harmed like this, there is nothing he can do, because this experience is too shameful and cannot be ignored.
Hu Shaoan was sold to Luoyu City. No one would discover him for a while, and the Hu family would not be able to find him here.
This period of time was enough for Hu Shaoan to sink into the quagmire and no one could rescue him.
When enough time has passed, the cousin can even take the initiative to release clues to guide the Hu family to come over, and do it in a high-profile manner.
By then everyone will know that Hu Shaoan has become a prostitute and has slept with many men and women...
It seems that even Zuifenglou has become a pawn in the hands of others.
Hu Shaoan had never thought about this before, but the more he thought about it, the paler his face became.
"Why, cousin... We grew up together and have a very good relationship." He murmured, "No, I want to go back and ask him in person!"
"Don't be stupid." Ning Zhishui rolled his eyes. "You don't have any evidence, how can you accuse him? He could even turn the tables and accuse you of disregarding brotherhood and slandering him."
"Then what should I do?" Hu Shaoan sniffed, full of frustration.
No wonder his mother often said that he was naive. People know that the world is dangerous and they need more experience.
Hu Shaoan also felt very aggrieved. He had clearly listened to his mother's words and actively went out to gain experience, but he ended up experiencing nothing.
Does naiveté really have anything to do with experience? Or is it that experience, rather than cultivation, is something else that should be cultivated?
"What you need to do most is to find evidence, improve yourself, and then go home to take back everything that belongs to you from that cousin." Ning Zhishui said calmly, "It's not appropriate for you to go back now. When you're at home, your cousin can only keep a low profile and be inferior to you in everything. When you're not around, he can come to the fore and act boldly."
Hu Shaoan was stunned and looked up at her.
"First, let him show his true colors, and then you can provide evidence to make sure he never has a chance to turn things around." Ning Zhishui smiled, lowered her arm that was supporting her chin, and moved closer to him. "How about it, little brother? Do you want to learn some skills from me?"
Hu Shaoan blushed, then nodded, "Yes."
Ning Zhishui laughed again, "You're so naive, you just believe everything others say. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out again?"
Hu Shaoan shook his head, "No, if you want to sell me out, why bother telling me so much."
Ning Zhishui looked at him speechlessly, feeling both angry and amused. "Your behavior is probably just a simpleton's luck. Be sincere enough, and good things will come to you."
Hu Shaoan didn't know what she was talking about, but he asked, "Can I send a message home? My parents must be very worried about me. I want to let them know I'm safe."
"The time when they were most worried has passed. It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer." Ning Zhishui shook his head.
Hu Shaoan had no evidence at all and everything was based on speculation. In this case, even if he said that everything was arranged by his cousin, his parents might not believe it.
If they don't believe it and fail to cover it up, they might be exposed in front of their scheming cousin.
So, either he should wait for a while and tell his parents after his cousin reveals his true colors. By then, they will have seen it with their own eyes and will definitely believe it.
Or, just go home directly after getting the evidence and expose your cousin's true identity in public.
No matter which one, it will take some time and you can't rush it right away.
Hu Shaoan felt that what Ning Zhishui said made sense, and agreed after a little hesitation.
"So what should I do next?" he asked. "I don't want to stay in Zuifenglou anymore."
"Keep you here for now. Find out some things for me and I'll take you out in two days." Ning Zhishui called him over and gave him some instructions.
Hu Shaoan listened, then nodded, "Okay, I've taken note of all this and will find out for you. But I need to recover my cultivation. I'm so scared right now."
"Got it. I'll give you the antidote tomorrow."
Ning Zhishui hummed.
"How could this happen...Who is trying to harm me?"
"Think back, who instigated you to go to Moon Shadow Bay, and who fanned the flames to drive away the guards? And who was the first to find the cave? These three people may not be the same person, but the person behind the scenes must have played a very important role in these three things." Ning Zhishui said.
Hu Shaoan frowned in thought, and then his expression froze, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"You thought of it?"
Hu Shaoan didn't say anything.
I did think of it.
The three questions Ning Zhishui asked were directed at two different people, but these two people were also familiar friends.
It was Meng Hongxing's suggestion to go to Yueying Bay, but Meng Hongxing also inadvertently said that it was because Han Qin said that this place was good, so he also wanted to come.
The reason Han Qin drove the guards away was because he took advantage of his guards going to the river to fish and jokingly said, "Shao'an's life is really not easy. No matter where he goes, there are people watching him. When will this life without freedom end?"
The others all agreed, and Hu Shaoan also thought it made sense. When provoked by everyone, he said, "I feel annoyed too, but my parents are worried about me."
At this time, Han Qin said naturally: "Why don't we find a way to get rid of him?"
So we all got together to make a plan and successfully implemented it.
Han Qin was the first one to find the cave. It was raining heavily at the time and it was pitch black everywhere, making it difficult to see anything. When they heard him say there was a cave over there, everyone rushed over.
If what Ning Zhishui said was right, then this person was undoubtedly Han Qin.
"No, he has no reason to harm me... We are friends!" Hu Shaoan shook his head, his face pale.
"There must be a reason for the attack. You must have gotten in his way somewhere. Think about it carefully." Ning Zhishui reminded.
But no matter how hard Hu Shaoan thought, he couldn't find a reason. They all had a good relationship with each other, so why did the other party hate him so much?
"Are you the most anticipated child in the Hu family?" Ning Zhishui asked when he saw that he couldn't figure it out.
If it's not a private grudge, then it may be a matter of interest.
Hu Shaoan nodded without hesitation, "Dad said that my talent is the best in this generation."
He has a good family background and good talents. Who else can we train if not him?
"What if you are not here? Who will replace you?" Ning Zhishui asked.
"That's my cousin from my uncle's family..." Hu Shaoan paused.
Cousin!
Han Qin's elder sister married his cousin, which means that Han Qin is his cousin's brother-in-law.
