"Who is so vicious?" Sudi asked angrily.
Wang Ziyao said thoughtfully, "Bai Shicheng and Jiang Yichen are the most suspicious, but we can't rule out the possibility that someone else is trying to take advantage of the situation and deliberately stir up trouble between you and them."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Indeed."
Sudi said angrily, "So you don't know who did it?"
Wang Ziyao sighed, "They didn't succeed this time, but there will definitely be a next time. We must be careful."
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "It's only possible to catch a thief for a thousand days, but it's impossible to guard against a thief for a thousand days. We have to take the initiative."
Wang Ziyao asked curiously, "Why take the initiative?"
Sudi also watched with wide eyes.
Zhao Lin said, "Tell everyone about what happened today and say that you suspect Bai Shicheng or Jiang Yichen was responsible. Of course, you can't say it directly, just get the message across. If they were deliberately trying to instigate this, they'd have achieved their goal now and they'd definitely not come back."
"Smart." Sudi gave a thumbs up.
Wang Ziyao asked, "If it's not to sow discord, then it's to destroy you?"
Zhao Lin's expression darkened: "Then find a chance to kill them."
Wang Ziyao nodded: "No matter what, it's better to be cautious."
Zhao Lin said: "It's okay, go back to sleep."
Wang Ziyao and Su Di gave a few instructions and left, while Zhang Dashan stood there motionless.
"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Lin asked.
Zhang Dashan said, "I'll guard it for you."
Zhao Lin laughed: "Don't worry, they won't come again tonight."
Zhang Dashan shook his head: "I have nothing to do during the day anyway, so it's the same if I sleep during the day."
Zhao Lin tried to persuade Zhang Dashan a few more times, but seeing that Zhang Dashan didn't listen, he just let him go. He ordered the guards to patrol more often and went back to his room to sleep.
Zhang Dashan was sitting at the door of Zhao Lin's room.
"Today's incident doesn't seem to be Bai Shicheng's doing. Instead, the incident at the academy seems to be his doing, so he's the least likely suspect."
Lying in bed, Zhao Lin couldn't sleep for a moment, thinking secretly: "This doesn't seem like the work of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, otherwise they would have sent someone here long ago, and wouldn't have waited until today. But suspicion cannot be ruled out. Who knows if Zhao Chenhan deliberately sent someone here while I'm not in the capital and have an alibi."
"The most likely person is Jiang Yichen. He was just slapped in the face during the day, and then the killer came at night. He is the most likely suspect."
"As for other people trying to fish in troubled waters, the chances are slim. I can't compare with them. Even if I muddy the waters, I won't be able to catch these big fish."
"So, the suspects, from highest to lowest, are Jiang Yichen, Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Bai Shicheng, and someone hiding in the dark."
"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as we kill all the suspects."
If you don't know who the enemy is, then kill all suspected enemies.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.
Wouldn’t you be safe then?
As for how to kill them, don't worry, there is a way.
The two servants returned to the Jiang Mansion and reported to Jiang Yichen.
"What? Failed?" Jiang Yichen was shocked.
One of them said shamefully, "I didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so alert. We couldn't sneak up on him."
"Two pieces of trash!"
Jiang Yichen was furious: "If you can't even beat a scholar, what's the point of raising you?"
The two servants knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Jiang Cha asked, "Has your identity been exposed?"
"No." A servant quickly shook his head. "We ran away after the accident."
"That's fine." Jiang Cha said to Jiang Yichen, "Don't worry, sir. Zhao Lin was lucky this time, but he won't be so lucky next time."
Jiang Yichen frowned and said, "Still want to go?"
Jiang Cha laughed and said, "It's easy to catch a thief, but it's impossible to guard against him. Wait two or three days, wait until Zhao Lin relaxes his guard, and then let them go. I don't believe this won't ruin his reputation."
The two servants hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. We will never let him get away next time."
Jiang Yichen nodded slowly and said, "You'd better not make any mistakes again, otherwise you know the consequences."
The two servants breathed a sigh of relief and swore hastily, "If we fail again, we will die outside."
…
the next day.
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, Fourth Miss, there is news about Young Master Lin."
Butler Fang had a strange look on his face and said to Han Yuehua and Zhao Mingyu who were having breakfast.
Han Yuehua asked impatiently, "What did that rebellious son do again?"
Butler Fang said, "Young Master Lin was ambushed last night and his leg was nearly broken."
"What?"
Han Yuehua stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "How is Zhao Lin?"
Butler Fang said, "Don't worry, Madam. Young Master Lin is fine."
Han Yuehua finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. Suddenly, she sneered, "This rebellious son has offended everyone everywhere. Now he's getting his comeuppance, right? Why don't you beat him to death?"
Zhao Mingyu looked at it in surprise.
Han Yuehua's reaction just now didn't seem fake, but she was genuinely worried about Zhao Lin's safety, but why did she treat him like that?
Butler Fang continued, "It is said, it is said, that the reason Young Master Lin was attacked is closely related to what happened yesterday."
"What happened yesterday?" Han Yuehua asked impatiently.
Butler Fang said, "The young master of the Jiang family went to see Young Master Lin because of some rumors, and a conflict arose. They didn't mention the specific conflict, only that Young Master Jiang suffered a lot..."
"The Jiang family? He's offended the Jiang family again?" Han Yuehua said angrily, "How can he not be at peace? Look at Han'er, he's so young, yet he's willing to leave the capital to work in other places for the Marquis's Mansion. How can Zhao Lin not understand anything? Fortunately, they severed their relationship, otherwise, who knows how much trouble it would have brought to the Marquis's Mansion."
Butler Fang said, "Now people outside are saying that Master Jiang is jealous of Master Lin's talent and sent people to attack him. He wants to break Master Lin's legs and make him unable to hold an official position for the rest of his life."
"Serves you right!" Han Yuehua sneered, "You're arrogant without any background, and this is what happens."
Butler Fang asked, "What should we do? Should we help Young Master Lin?"
Han Yuehua said unhappily, "Why should we help him? He's very powerful, he can even beat the people sent by the Marquis' Mansion. Why do we need help? Let him fend for himself. It's best to let the Jiang family kill him quickly to avoid bringing trouble to the Marquis' Mansion in the future."
…
"Bai Shicheng! It must have been Bai Shicheng who did it!"
When he woke up, he found himself the mastermind behind the attack on Zhao Lin. Although he had not wronged him, Jiang Yichen was still very angry.
He thought about it and felt that it was definitely Bai Shicheng who spread these words, otherwise how could outsiders think of him?
As for Zhao Lin, Jiang Yichen felt that he didn't have the brains for it yet.
"Sir, this young master from the Bai family has gone too far. You were so kind as to help them mediate, but not only did he not appreciate it, he even wronged you." Jiang Cha said angrily, "Should we deal with him?"
Jiang Yichen sneered, "Of course. If it was Bai Shiyuan, I would give him three points. Bai Shicheng, this loser, dares to act wild in front of me? Just wait and see how I deal with him."
