167. Chapter 167 Involvement



There are two people who can fly like swallows: one is Thirteen, and the other is Little Five.

But Thirteen just couldn't believe it could be Xiao Wu.

"It can't be her!"

Although Qiuqiu didn't believe it either, upon closer reflection, she was quite suspicious.

The matchmaker, frustrated, rubbed her face with her hands. Why would a female assassin switch the exam papers?

Jin Fengnian tentatively suggested, "Why don't we just arrest them and question them?"

His hard work shouldn't be for nothing, and Gao Wenyan's beating shouldn't be for nothing either!

"Where is Wu Zai? Lord Gao, quickly take men and bring her back!"

Thirteen was still hesitating when Chiu Chiu pointed in the direction, [Wen Yun Earl's Residence!]

"Fifth Miss?" Su Yunyi naturally remembered the girl who had visited his home before, especially the incident caused by his fourth brother, which was both funny and exasperating.

She stayed at the Marquis's mansion for two or three days before leaving in a hurry, and he really didn't know why.

"The Fifth Miss and Wen Yunbo have a close relationship, could it be because of..."

Su Yunyi didn't finish his sentence. He was a poor scholar, a merchant, and had no connection with Gongye Changfeng at all. Why would he go to such lengths to frame the three of them?

Gao Xun and Lord He thought so too.

This matter requires Lord He to handle personally. Gao Xun, fearing someone might seek another opportunity to harm them, personally ordered men to guard Su Yunyi and Jin Fengnian. Qiuqiu and Shisan, on the other hand, were forgotten.

A perfectly good prison cell has been turned into a place for family reunion.

Thirteen tugged at the chain that seemed rather flimsy to him. "They locked me up too?"

Gao Xun still didn't believe him!

Chuchu: "Huh?"

Her eyes widened: "I'm locked up too?!"

Su Yunyi patted her head, "Lord Gao is afraid that Thirteen will run away."

[Brother Gao underestimated our Thirteen; he can't be kept here if he wants to run away!]

Since they were already there, they decided to make the best of it and settled Thirteen and Chiu Chiu into the prison cell.

It's hard to believe, but everything was fine when we left, and now we can't go back.

Thirteen lay down on the straw, and Chirp, holding onto the railing, slowly moved towards Jin Fengnian. "Chirp?"

Is that what the phoenix is ​​called?

Jin Fengnian ignored Qiuqiu and stared blankly, lost in thought.

“Chichichi!”

Chirp chirped twice more, and when no one paid any attention to her, she slowly moved closer to him. "Chirp?"

Su Yunyi covered his sister's mouth from behind, "His name is Jin Fengnian, he is your classmate. It's impolite of you to call him a chicken."

Although they are both birds, they are different!

Chirp looked up and pointed at Jin Fengnian: "Chirp!"

It's Little Phoenix!

Sparkling!

Su Yunyi carefully observed Jin Fengnian's expression, fearing that he might suddenly attack his sister. But upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed something was amiss.

"Jin Fengnian, is there something you're hiding from us?"

"The Year of the Golden Phoenix!"

Su Yunyi raised his voice to bring Jin Fengnian back to his senses. He stared blankly back at Su Yunyi for a long time before finally speaking, "I have seen my uncle and Wen Yunbo have dealings."

"But I don't know if my father and uncle were trying to get involved with the Wenyunbo family, or if the Wenyunbo family was trying to collaborate with my uncle. Anyway, the time I ran into them, they were talking, but my uncle didn't look too happy. Do you think they might have had a falling out and were retaliating against me?"

The Jin family doesn't have a good reputation. It seems that ever since they started their fortunes, they've been intentionally or unintentionally associating with powerful and influential people, which is why most people look down on them.

Jin Fengnian had been taught to recognize the faces of these important figures since he was a child, so he was certain that Wen Yunbo Gongye Changfeng was indeed him. However, he knew nothing about his family affairs.

We don't know if we offended someone unintentionally!

“My dad came back a few days ago and said he met a very important person, and that the person was very special. I think it sounds a lot like Wen Yunbo.”

Chiu Chiu shook her head: 【The big shot is me!】

She and Uncle Kim are now acquaintances!

Su Yunyi didn't understand Jiujiu's social circle and focused on comforting Jin Fengnian. "I don't think Gongye Changfeng would risk his own head to avenge you. I think he still wants to target me."

"Why you? Am I not good enough for you?"

"You did something that could cost you your head just to get revenge on me?"

"Or should I retaliate?"

"That's sophistry!"

"Nonsense!"

Chirp: "..."

Men's competitive spirit is truly terrifying; is this really a good thing?

"Aaaaaah!!!"

ChouChou, who had been standing by the bars watching the two men argue through the cell door with their sleeves rolled up, finally couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her bright red tiger-head shoes on the ground a few times, trying to intimidate them both. "Stop arguing!"

[He's come clean; he was actually targeting me!]

She's the only person here who's this important!

Su Yunyi: "..." Too confident.

Although Jin Fengnian couldn't hear Qiuqiu's inner thoughts, he could tell from her high-spirited demeanor that she shared the same idea as her brother.

Jin Fengnian stopped arguing and plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, clearly furious. "Fine, fine, it's all against you! The whole world is against you!"

Thirteen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly chuckled. These people were still too naive.

"How about I tell you about what I've found out recently?"

The three of them looked at Thirteen at the same time, their eyes burning with curiosity. Why was this person still hiding?

Jin Fengnian hadn't thought much about it before he mentioned that his uncle knew Wen Yunbo, but now he could only say that killing two birds with one stone was brilliant.

"Gongye Changfeng is no ordinary man!"

The last person Qiao Muyang contacted before disappearing in the southwest was Gongye Changfeng.

He saved Xiao Wu and even made her devoted to him. Although he said he didn't believe that Xiao Wu had switched the test papers, he had already made up his mind. This is why he did not stop Gao Xun and the others from looking for Xiao Wu.

Wen Yunbo's family had always wanted to get close to Qiuqiu, but Gongye Shi's loss of composure actually elevated Gongye Changfeng's status. The street assassination attempt, so full of flaws, was probably part of a scheme he devised to get close to Qiuqiu and send Xiao Wu into the Marquis's mansion.

They even have ongoing entanglements with the Jin family.

Each and every single thing makes it hard not to be suspicious!

"I returned to the capital to investigate Qiao Muyang's disappearance, but the trail went cold after I found Wen Yunbo's place."

"Master Jin is now close to the old Marquis. If he wants to ruin all of you, this is the best move."

"Why not investigate Wen Yunbo?"

Chuchu: [Investigate him!]

She completely forgot that she had just praised the person as a good person not long ago, but now, after Thirteen's analysis, she felt that the person had become repulsive.

A conspiracy, a huge conspiracy!

Chiu Chiu squatted on the ground, scratching her head. How could she expose him?

Just as she was getting anxious, someone threw mud at her...

"puff!"

Chirp: "!!!"

Chuchu was dumbfounded when dried mud was splattered on her face. How did that silly cat get here?!

The three followed her gaze and saw a furtive...cat face appear by the small window of the cell?

The chubby orange cat crept around: "Meow?"

Have humans finally woken up and decided to lock up this baby fish?

Chirp: "!!!"

【I see!】

[Fat orange cat, can you help me?]

Little Fatty Orange: "?"

What does the little fat fish want its royal cat to do?!
