After tidying up, Hua Changle sat down at the dining table to eat, with Iris beside her.
Aside from being rather pale, he was so calm that you couldn't tell at all what had happened last night.
Hua Changle remained calm, but Mule's side was in an uproar early on, and he slunk up.
"Hey, Eagle, I'm here, I'm here, please tell me..."
"Oh dear! I have to explain this to you properly. The night before last, someone came to my place asking about that matter. I was afraid it was someone from the Hua family, so I tested them by giving them a few addresses..."
"Yes, yes, it was my fault that caused the damage to the hall, I deserve to die... Okay, okay, I understand!"
"I'm a mule, hehe, Master Bao, please let me explain..."
"Sigh, I am utterly responsible for what happened to your people, but think about it, doesn't this at least prove that besides the Hua family, there are others eyeing this pie?"
"...Yes, I don't think it was the Hua family last night. Hua Changle or Hua Qingyun, would they dare to cause such a commotion? And kill so many people?"
"Me? I suspect that someone from Changfeng Pavilion, Tianji Tower, or one of the thirteen has joined forces?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Master Bao."
The mule hung up the call, let out a long sigh, and wiped the sweat from its brow.
The mule pondered for a moment, then muttered to itself:
"Hiss, the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau hasn't made a move at all. It seems that Hua Changle is just a smokescreen thrown out by Hua Qingyun. Hua Qingyun is the one who is mainly investigating."
"Hua Changle probably doesn't have that much ability, does he?"
Just then, one of his underlings came over: "Boss, Brother Mang sent a letter asking when we can send that batch of people over."
Mule frowned, "Damn it, he's really not afraid of death! What time is it? Is he in such a hurry to be reincarnated? Why are you rushing him!"
The younger brother said awkwardly, "Boss, Brother Mang said that there is a shortage of goods in the south recently, and the customers are urging us to hurry up."
He said his side was being closely watched by Hua Qingyun, the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, and Changfeng Pavilion, and he couldn't do anything about it. He could only ask us to bring some of our best-kept secrets as a temporary measure.
"Damn it, he doesn't dare to make a move, so he wants me to step forward and get myself killed? I'm saving my own stock for big clients, and he's going to give it to them for emergencies with just a word?"
The mule cursed a lot.
The younger brother tentatively suggested, "Then, should I tell him we can't move either?"
"..."
The mule didn't speak, but stroked his chin: "Actually, we can still produce some goods to tide us over."
"Their eyes are all over the south side of the city right now. There's no one watching me here. I can take advantage of the chaos and make a quick buck, can't I?"
The henchman's eyes lit up: "Shall we pull off a heist?"
Mule wasn't in a hurry: "Let's wait a bit longer. I'm still worried about Hua Changle. What if she's really keeping an eye on me? We'll make our move after she goes to the Blood Arena for that competition!"
The younger brother happily agreed.
"Wait a minute!"
The mule thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you talking about that girl from before, what was her name... Sun Ying? Who stole the ledger and tried to run away?"
"Yes, that woman is quite fierce. She didn't go crazy even after two rounds of training, and she even thought about running away."
The mule handler waved his hand: "Throw her into that batch of goods and sell her all the way south, so there won't be any more trouble!"
"Alright, boss!"
The mule had just lay down in the sun to sunbathe when the little brother ran back:
"Big Brother! Something's happened at Eagle Hall!"
...
After breakfast, Wei Liang from the building where I met last night suddenly sent me a message.
Iris and Hua Changle received it at the same time, and Hua Changle gave Iris a wink.
Iris clicked on it and was shocked: "Something's happened at Eagle Hall!"
In the early hours of the morning, one of Eagle Hall's branches in the southern city was attacked, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people.
"Oh?" Hua Changle asked, "Who did it?"
Iris shook her head: "I don't know, not a single one of the attackers has been caught! Martial law has been declared in the south!"
Iris asked in confusion, "How could it be such a coincidence? Why would someone come knocking on the Eagle Hall's door at this time? Who would dare to attack them now?"
"Early this morning..."
Iris's voice stopped abruptly. She turned sharply to look at Hua Changle, her eyes filled with doubt and disbelief:
"Le Bao".
"you say."
Hua Changle casually agreed, but didn't get a chance to speak.
She looked up and noticed Iris's gaze, then immediately realized what was happening:
"You don't suspect that I did it, do you?"
When Iris saw her clear eyes, she immediately shook off the doubt that had suddenly popped into her mind.
What are you thinking about?!
Given what happened to Chang Le last night, how could he possibly have gone to the South District and single-handedly challenged a branch of the Eagle Hall?
Hua Changle ignored her suspicions and was already thinking about the matter: "It's probably more troublesome for my elder brother. With the attack on Eagle Hall, the first people to be suspected are my elder brother and Changfeng Pavilion. My elder brother is going to be under surveillance."
Iris, however, thought of another point: "In that case, it would be advantageous for us."
"After last night's incident, Mule would have suspected that others were eyeing those assets, or that someone wanted to use the results to curry favor with the Hua family. Now that their attention is drawn to Hua Qingyun, Mule might seize the opportunity to act, which is a perfect chance for us."
At this point, Iris felt a strange unease: "This is truly a godsend."
Hua Changle smiled but didn't say anything.
Not long after, Hua Qingyun contacted her to discuss this matter.
Hua Qingyun mentioned that he didn't know the origin of the person who did it, and Hua Changle told him that he had no clue either.
Hua Qingyun said that he was being watched more closely now, but it wasn't a bad thing for their plan. He suggested that Hua Changle take this opportunity to continue investigating the deal between She Jiameng and Mule.
