It's all because of them; otherwise, she would still be the enviable daughter-in-law of the Du family, and the mistress who gave birth to the Shi family's grandson.
Suti was stunned, her eyelids twitching as she listened to her extremely arrogant words.
They don't seem to have any real grudge against each other, do they? This woman clearly holds a grudge against their family.
She didn't know what she was thinking, nor did she feel that she had offended them in any way.
However, she always understood one principle: if someone dislikes you, even breathing is wrong.
"Do you know why I don't want to talk to you? It's because I've seen through your plans, especially lately. I'm just laughing at all the things that are going on in your family."
Suti doesn't want to overlook any potential dangers, so he'll have to use his brain.
"You really think nobody knows about what's going on in your Du family? Sister and brother-in-law? Feudal superstition? If this is reported, your whole family will be finished."
"Oh, right, you have someone backing you up. You were so aggressive just now because you thought someone would protect you, didn't you?"
"But those people aren't big shots to us. Do you really think they can do anything to us?"
Suti was glad that he had a habit of guarding against bad people; this investigation had come in handy.
Baichuan couldn't possibly have found out 100% about the Du family's affairs, but even a few words from him were enough to frighten her.
As expected, Zhang Manli's expression changed. She looked at them with horror. How did they know?
"You...how did you know?" Zhang Manli hadn't expected them to be so capable. Just how much did she know?
And what about the people behind those things she mentioned? Does she even know about the Shi family?
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. If you do too many immoral things, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later." Suti could sense that she was very flustered.
"So you also know about the Cao family behind me?" Zhang Manli was flustered. She quickly calmed herself down and looked at Su Ti and his wife seriously.
She wasn't afraid of them finding out about the Du family's affairs, but she was afraid of them finding out about her relationship with Shi Zhenxing; that was her last bit of confidence.
"What do you think? Trying to test me? You can fool others, but you can't fool me." Suti watched her eyes dart around, knowing she was bluffing.
She's not a good actress. She wasn't worried about the Du family and her affairs; instead, she was anxious to find out who was behind her.
It seems that the person behind this is very important to her. She said that the confidence that her family has to live a good life comes from that person.
If the Du family's affairs were reported, they would be caught red-handed. The fact that she wasn't afraid shows that the person behind her is indeed very powerful.
Or rather, it's not that she doesn't care about the Du family's affairs, but that she feels the people behind her have the ability to protect her.
Thinking of this, Suti changed his mind and looked at the person again, speaking in a teasing tone.
"Do you really think the person behind you can protect you? We've figured out everything about the Du family, so do you think we don't know about that person?"
“From the first time you came to our house, I noticed that your eyes were not straight, so we had someone investigate you then.”
"The next few times you came to our house, we just went along with you. Your showing off and smugness were a joke to us."
"We didn't say anything because we didn't think you were a threat. And the guy behind you is just a small fry. He really thinks he's something special, daring to talk so arrogantly in front of us?"
Su Ti's words made Zhang Manli's eyes widen; she hadn't expected that they had already investigated them so early on.
"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, if you dare to touch me, Zhenxing will not let you off the hook."
Zhang Manli spoke in a daze, her tone clearly anxious.
“Since you’ve found out everything, you should know about Zhenxing’s relationship with me. I already told him about you last night.”
“If anything happens to me, they won’t let you off the hook. And don’t even think about reporting me, or you’ll be in big trouble.”
“You know who the Shi family is. You are just descendants of martyrs. You can’t fight them.”
Zhang Manli's words seemed to be a way of encouraging herself; she spoke with great conviction, as if afraid Su Ti wouldn't believe her, and she glared fiercely at him.
Su Ti glanced at Li Baichuan, his eyes filled with shock. Bao Datong hadn't found out any of this.
He acknowledged the man's abilities; after all, with such a large operation in the black market, they managed to escape despite being completely unprepared and finding only a trace.
This time, the inquiry into the Du family's affairs went awry, and such an important person in the middle was overlooked. Was it because the person behind it was well hidden, or was it because the inquiry team was not paying attention?
Li Baichuan preferred the former, since the informant wouldn't dare to do that; just by looking at their disheveled appearance when they returned, he knew they had done their best.
But if it were the former, it would be well hidden, and even a large black market could find clues, while here we couldn't find anything amiss.
What kind of big shots are the Shi family? Putting aside the Shi family, even the Li family, if they really wanted to investigate, Li Baichuan wouldn't have the confidence to find anything.
"So what? Based on your relationship with him, we have leverage over you. If you try to harm us, aren't you afraid we'll expose everything?"
When Suti saw Baichuan frowning, she knew in her heart that this so-called Shi family was this man's last resort.
Su Ti pretended to back down, wanting to see what her relationship with the Shi family really was. If she was trying to trick her, she would give her a taste of her own medicine.
"Hmph, do you dare? If you dare to say a single word, they won't let you off the hook. Besides, no one else will believe you."
“You’ve seen how the Du family treats their children; they are the Du family’s children.” Zhang Manli is very proud now.
How could she not see that Suti was hesitant? She must know that she is no match for Zhenxing and the others; she's just being stubborn now.
Du Wenshan taught her a lesson last night. She's had enough of these threats, and she's not afraid anymore.
Suti's mind was in turmoil. What child? Could this child be from the Shi family? She tried to sort out her thoughts.
Bai Chuan had investigated and found that this person and the glass factory manager's youngest son had gotten into trouble and were later kicked out.
She went back to the countryside with her sister, but later only she returned with her child. At first, she thought it was a story about her brother-in-law and sister.
Now it seems she misunderstood. Was that child hers with her youngest son from the glass factory?
She came to the Du family to register her child's birth, and she's so imposing. She must be relying on her youngest son from the glass factory, right?
Suti thought about it carefully, then glanced at Baichuan and wondered what the glass factory manager's family name was.
Li Baichuan pondered in his mind that Biancheng had told him that the man surnamed Shi was a playboy. Yes, their surname was Shi.
He winked at his wife; without a word, everything was understood.
