Bai Nuo stood beside him, smiling. "Thank you for telling me all this!"
After Bai Nuo spoke, he also let go of Zhao Jinhu's hand, and looked at him with a smile.
Zhao Jinhu collapsed to the ground and only then noticed that Bai Nuo had a rope tied around her waist. Moreover, this was no dilapidated haunted house at all; it was clearly fully equipped and extremely luxurious.
His brothers were also confused for a moment, then they all came to their senses and shouted, "Second Brother, these people are playing tricks!"
How could Zhao Jinhu not know? He looked at Bai Nuo beside him and the "big brother" in front of him and roared angrily, "If you're not my big brother, then who are you?"
"Of course I'm not your older brother!" Zhao Qianhu forcefully tore open his face, revealing a mask in his hand. What Zhao Qianhu saw was an unfamiliar, unremarkable face.
This is the second of the guards left behind by Hu Mingmei, and he is skilled in disguise.
Seeing Zhao Jinhu's angry expression, Hu Er sneered, "Instead of being angry, you should worry about your future!"
Bai Nuo stood a foot away from him and said with a smile, "Thank you for clearing my husband's name, Lord Sun. Please come out!"
What Lord Sun?
Before Zhao Jinhu could understand what was happening, he saw Bai Nuo looking behind the screen, so he looked over as well. A middle-aged man emerged from behind the screen. The man had a certain air about him, and his face was familiar to Zhao Jinhu.
Everyone in the capital knows him; he is Lord Sun, the Prefect of the Capital.
When Zhao Jinhu saw Lord Sun, his eyes narrowed, and when he remembered what he had just said, he immediately began to tremble.
He was also thinking about a way to escape.
"Young Madam Hu, what a brilliant idea!" After Lord Sun came out, he first glanced at Zhao Jinhu, who was trembling like a leaf, and then smiled at Bai Nuo.
"My husband has been imprisoned for no reason, so I have no choice but to resort to unorthodox methods!" Bai Nuo said with a smile, displaying neither servility nor arrogance in front of Lord Sun.
"How do you know that Master Hu is innocent?" Lord Sun asked curiously. At the time, all the evidence pointed to Hu Mingmei, and Hu Mingmei was imprisoned and had not been seen even once. However, this woman always believed in Hu Mingmei and even went through various means to find him and came up with this method.
"Because he is my husband!" Bai Nuo replied with a smile. Although Hu Mingmei's behavior was very different from hers, Hu Mingmei was a person with principles. He would only attack his enemies and would not target innocent people. Moreover, Duobao Pavilion was founded by her. How could Hu Mingmei destroy it?
However, Bai Nuo did not explain this to Lord Sun.
Lord Sun nodded knowingly. "I understand what happened today. Master Hu is innocent. I will release him when I get back!"
Bai Nuo thanked him with a smile.
Zhao Jinhu shouted from below, "Sir, Hu Mingmei killed my elder brother, and those words were forced upon me by them! If I hadn't said them, I would have been dead!"
This man fooled him once, does he think he can fool him a second time? Lord Sun said coldly, "I saw everything clearly from behind the screen, no one coerced you!" At most, he was just a little scared, but if you've never done anything wrong, why would you be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night? If Zhao Jinhu hadn't done anything wrong, why would he be scared?
“They choked me!” Zhao Jinhu said.
"Take a look at what that is for yourself," Lord Sun sneered, staring at Zhao Jinhu's neck.
Zhao Jinhu instinctively reached down and pulled a wooden hand off his neck. He stared at the wooden hand, his face turning pale. Was this the thing that had been squeezing him the whole time? What was that feeling of not being able to breathe?
"You lied to me! You're despicable!" Realizing there was no way to turn the tide, Zhao Jinhu lunged at Bai Nuo again, intending to fight to the death. Hu Er was standing right next to Bai Nuo, how could he let Zhao Jinhu get to her? He immediately kicked Zhao Jinhu, sending him flying. Zhao Jinhu's back was met with something cold. He reached out and touched a board.
"What is this?" Zhao Jinhu asked, his eyes full of confusion.
"I can't tell you what it is!" Bai Nuo said with a smile, "but I can tell you how it happened!"
After Hu Mingmei's accident, Bai Nuo was in a panic for a long time, but she calmed down afterward and began to think about how to deal with it. However, Lu Ying couldn't find any clues. With no other choice, she could only go to Huang Wenbai, but she didn't get anything useful from Huang Wenbai. She only learned that Huang Wenbai knew about Hu Mingmei's accident, and that all of this was being manipulated by a big shot behind the scenes.
It's hard to say whether the purpose was to take Hu Mingmei's life or his money.
The entire guard team had been investigating and finally brought back the news in the morning. Bai Nuo knew exactly what the deceased's name was, who his family members were, and what they did for a living.
So Bai Nuo made a bold conjecture and then set up all of this, creating a smokescreen.
First, she quickly gathered all of the Hu family's accounts together and then announced that she was leaving, creating the illusion that she was going to abscond with the money. She was betting that if the people behind her heard about this, they would definitely make a move before she left. Sure enough, she was right, and Zhao Jinhu fell for it.
