"I wish Young Master Zhou immediate success. That dandy fool will have a hard time this time." Descendants of other noble families quickly raised their glasses to flatter him.
"When Master Zhou takes the position of city lord, we will come here to celebrate then. Let's not go home until we are drunk today!" He is not the only one who can flatter.
…
Just as Miss Zhao Shi and others were celebrating, a barely perceptible groan was heard from the backyard of the restaurant. A secret sentry hidden behind the rockery fell limply to the ground. Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared. They were Mu Hanyan and Zirong.
"I never thought that the backyard of such a small restaurant would be so heavily guarded." Zirong threw away the brick in her hand and said with emotion.
The Zhou family's restaurant looked ordinary from the outside, but the security became tighter as they approached the backyard. Along the way, the two men knocked over at least twelve secret guards before they reached the backyard without alerting anyone.
Fortunately, this backyard is some distance away from the restaurant and is in a very remote location. After eliminating the twelve secret sentries, there are no other threats.
Zirong looked at Mu Hanyan, her eyes full of curiosity.
Of these twelve secret outposts, five were discovered by him, and the other seven were discovered earlier by Mu Hanyan.
Zirong has always been confident in his keen insight, but he really couldn't understand how Mu Hanyan could have discovered the seven secret sentries before him, and he was also very decisive in his actions. He killed one by one with a brick, cleanly, neatly and with great experience. Even if he had been engaged in robbery since he was born, he shouldn't be so skilled.
Zirong is becoming more and more confused about this legendary good-for-nothing young master.
"The Zhou family has been rooted in Black Stone City for hundreds of years, nearly a thousand years. They have a deep foundation. How could they be willing to be inferior to others? They have long wanted to get involved in the position of city lord. This restaurant is a stronghold where the Zhou family secretly cultivates their power." Mu Hanyan smiled lightly.
The Zhou family, the Zhao family and other families had long wanted to get involved in the position of city lord. The Mu family was not without defense, but they had been keeping an eye on the movements in the courtyards of a few houses, but ignored their less noticeable industries. The Zhou family restaurant was one of them, and it was even more impossible for Zirong to know about it.
The reason why Mu Hanyan knew about this was because in her previous life, several major families joined forces to challenge the Mu family, and the hidden strength of this restaurant surfaced.
"So that's how it is. We are here today to eradicate this stronghold?" Zirong was a little excited, but after thinking about it, she felt something was not right. Even if they wanted to take action against the Zhou family, it should be the job of the elders or the head of the Mu family. How much of a role can this playboy play?
He would not underestimate the hidden strength of this restaurant just because he knocked down a few secret sentries. He could easily tell that the masters secretly trained by this restaurant would not be as easy to deal with as these secret sentries.
More importantly, aren’t they dealing with Miss Zhao Si? What does it have to do with the Zhou Family Restaurant?
The more Zirong thought about it, the more confused she became, and she looked at Mu Hanyan in doubt.
"You're overthinking it. I don't think we have that much ability." Mu Hanyan's words confirmed Zirong's guess. She said with a sly smile, "I came here today to borrow something from the Zhou family."
