Chapter 191 Produce Evidence
Zhao She rolled his eyes at her, his attitude even more impatient than in the photo. "You even claim to be my grandfather's apprentice, yet you don't even know he's passed away. What kind of apprentice are you?"
The news of the eccentric old man's death was undoubtedly even more shocking to Su Youling than the news that his identity was actually that of the ceramic art master, Mr. Ai.
Su Youling, who had been clinging to a sliver of hope since the eccentric old man disappeared, felt a lump in her throat and her expression became dazed upon hearing this devastating news.
How could that be? Wei Ning's claim that someone saw the strange old man in Lingshui Town turned out to be just a false alarm...
Seeing her like this, Zhao She curled his lip in disdain. "In my opinion, you're the one with ulterior motives, aren't you? You've been scheming to prevent me from inheriting my grandfather's estate, and you beat me up as a thief without even asking me a question. Could it be that you want to take what my grandfather left behind for yourself?"
As soon as Zhao She said this, a group of villagers who were already eager to watch a good show immediately joined in the commotion.
“What the young man said makes sense, Su Youling. But it doesn’t make sense for you to go to that strange old man’s house in the middle of the night.”
"I think it's a case of the thief crying 'stop thief!' The Su family mother and daughter suddenly returned to our Lingshui Town, probably because they're after this old eccentric's things."
Seeing how easily everyone was being led by the nose, Zhao She glanced smugly at Su Youling and became even more arrogant. "Now that the truth has come out, it's not unreasonable for me to take what belongs to me, is it?"
After Zhao She finished speaking, he winked at another short man, and the two of them pretended to go to the strange old man's house to move things.
Su Youling frowned, suppressing the sadness she felt over the old man's death, and unceremoniously had her bodyguards stop the person again.
Neither Zhao She's suspicious and furtive behavior nor his eager and profit-driven demeanor could dispel her doubts.
She could only believe about 40% of what Zhao She said.
Unable to break free from the two bodyguards, Zhao She was so angry that his already bulging eyes seemed about to pop out. "What the hell do you mean? I've already told you..."
The bodyguard punched him in the stomach, and he instantly became docile, but his gaze toward Su Youling was still so fierce that it looked like he wanted to devour her whole.
Su Youling calmed down and walked forward expressionlessly, not intimidated at all. "What a coincidence. My master, who is also your grandfather, promised to leave this house to me before he passed away. To be honest, what you did was still burglary."
Zhao She's face turned bright red, and he spat, "Stop talking nonsense! My grandfather has me, his own grandson, how could he possibly leave the house to an outsider like you? Besides, my grandfather is already dead. Why should I believe you based on your words?"
That wasn't enough. He hurriedly pulled the surrounding villagers who were watching the show to his side, saying, "What did I just say? This woman is clearly trying to take advantage of my status as an outsider and try to seize my grandfather's inheritance. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. For the sake of my deceased grandfather, uncles and aunts, you have to help me."
A group of villagers, eager for a good show, also turned their anger towards Su Youling.
“No matter what, that young man is the old man’s own grandson. It’s really unreasonable to give something that belongs to the family to an outsider.”
"Su Youling, she's from out of town, and besides, she's taking back her grandfather's inheritance."

"Hey, if you keep stopping others from spreading this, aren't you just bringing shame to our Lingshui Town?"
Su Youling's eyes turned cold as she sharply swept them over, finally landing on Zhao She's face, who looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. She scoffed, "If you think what I say doesn't count, then I have the right to doubt your identity. All you've done is produce a photo. These days, what can't be faked?"
She narrowed her eyes as she spoke, her tone leaving no room for refusal, "Unless you can produce legally valid documents proving your blood relation to my master, you won't be able to take even a weed outside this house with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two bodyguards very cleverly twisted Zhao She's and the other man's hands behind their backs again.
Zhao She couldn't swallow this insult and struggled desperately, ultimately taking several more punches.
The crowd of onlookers were also frightened, their faces turning ashen, and their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the two bodyguards.
Su Youling raised an eyebrow, walked up to Zhao She, looked down at him, and said with a warning in her eyes, "If you really are my master's grandson, these things might not fall into your hands. Even if you steal them, you'll have to see if I allow it."
Zhao She was taken aback by Su Youling's imposing aura. After realizing he had been intimidated by a woman, he felt ashamed and quickly stretched his neck to look intimidating. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? You want proof of blood ties, huh? I have plenty of evidence to convince you."
Upon hearing this, Su Youling gestured with her chin to the bodyguard, who then released the person at her signal.
Zhao She clutched his aching stomach and back, grimacing for a moment before, under the intimidating gazes of the two bodyguards, he reluctantly grabbed the shorter man and hurriedly left, not forgetting to utter a threat before departing: "Just you wait, this house will be mine sooner or later!"
Su Youling stared intently at the man's retreating figure, a strange unease creeping into her heart.
Why is this person so determined to get it? What is he relying on? Her intuition told her that this person was wicked, and if the old man's things really fell into his hands, she, as his apprentice, would only feel guilty.
Even if this person really is the old man's grandson, she still has to find a way to protect what the old man left behind.
Meanwhile, Zhao She led the short man away and got into a private car. After dialing a number, he gritted his teeth and complained, "It was all your bad idea to bring people here to steal what that old man left behind. As a result, we were caught red-handed by a meddlesome bastard who claimed to be the old man's apprentice."
"Mr. Ai actually took on a disciple in Lingshui Town?" An incredulous, high-pitched female voice came from the other end of the phone. It was none other than Zhao Xinning, who had seemingly disappeared since Zhao Fu was arrested.
Zhao She lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags, then spat, his eyes turning sinister. "That's right, and she's a woman, very troublesome. She even said that old man promised to leave that dilapidated house to her. This is probably going to be a bit difficult."
After calming down, Zhao Xinning pressed Mr. Ai for details about what his apprentice looked like. After listening to Zhao She's description, Su Youling's face inexplicably appeared in her mind. She suddenly recalled that Su Youling had mentioned that there was a strange old man in Lingshui Town who taught her pottery...
All these coincidences combined, especially after Zhao Xinning sent Su Youling's photo for confirmation, she couldn't help but smash the things around her on the ground in anger.
That bitch Su Youling! How come all the good things in the world seem to fall into her lap?
