Chapter 436: Ruining the Scene

Someone smashed up the Su family's place.

Du Jingyi was still a little surprised when he heard the news.

Jinling City is different from Sui'an City. Here, the power of the wealthy and powerful families is above all else. So even though one of the seven branches of the Gu family has a prefect and a commander in the city, they are not in an absolute dominant position.

For example, they would not easily offend the Su family.

After all, the Su family, like the Gu family, has existed since the beginning of Jinling City. Although the Seventh Branch is named after the Gu family, it is ultimately just a side branch.

If he succeeded in taking the position of the patriarch of the Gu family, he might have a chance to fight against the Su family, but it is absolutely impossible now.

So, after hearing that the Su family's place was smashed, Du Jingyi planned to go there in person to see the situation, and his aunt also said with a serious expression.

"You and Shao Yu should be careful. Those who dare to destroy the Su family's place are not just small fry."

"Don't worry, auntie, we'll be back soon."

Afterwards, Du Jingyi, accompanied by Yingtao and Lizhu, went towards the place where the Su family was smashed.

Wharf, warehouse.

The Su family was considered a powerful family here, but now most of the warehouses have been burned down, and it is obvious that someone is behind this.

When Du Jingyi arrived, Gu Shaoyu was already standing there. When he saw her coming, he hurried forward and held her hand, then said with some concern.

"Why are you here?"

"After I heard about this, I was worried, so I came to see if the general has found the person who did it."

Gu Shaoyu had a complicated expression, and the Su family father and son were also furious, but they calmed down a little when they saw Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi was not stupid. She could see the struggle in the eyes of the Su family's father and son. She didn't know why she always felt that this matter seemed to be related to her, so she thought about it and asked.

"Granduncle and uncle, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Seeing her so frank, Uncle Su took the lead and spoke.

"The man said right away that it was Yan Zhiqing who did it."

Yan Zhiqing?! Du Jingyi was full of surprise. The Su family father and son and her husband all knew what this identity represented, so they naturally would not believe such nonsense. But what made Du Jingyi a little confused was that she did not reveal any clues, so how could she be framed all of a sudden?

Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Want the Su family to deal with Yan Zhiqing?

But if the Su family and Yan Zhiqing really fought, what benefit could he get from it? What was his purpose?

A series of questions quickly popped up in Du Jingyi's mind, but there was no result. After a moment, she still didn't understand this problem, so she asked in a serious tone.

"Where did Uncle Su hear the news?"

"The arsonist last night used a large amount of kerosene, and by the time our people found out, it was too late. As soon as the fire spread, the person gave his name and said that it was a debt owed by our Su family, and Yan Zhiqing came to seek justice."

Seeking justice? The other party would put the blame on them, as if Yan Zhiqing and their Su family really had some life-and-death feud, and the father and son of the Su family knew Yan Zhiqing's true identity in advance, so they knew that the identity of the visitor was fake.

But what is that person's true identity?

"Do you still remember the man's figure and appearance?"

"The manager said that he was wearing a black robe and he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly. But even if he saw it clearly, it would be useless because it was fake anyway."

Uncle Su spoke too quickly. Something flashed through Du Jingyi's mind, but she couldn't grasp it. She knew something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Old Master Su took a look at the situation at the scene, took a deep breath and said.

"Go home and talk about it when you get back."

"yes."

The carriage quickly carried everyone straight to the Su family, while the Su family's servants were still cleaning up the mess.

In the crowd, a strange face suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared without a trace.

Su's house, in the study.

The Su family father and son, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi and their spouses sat opposite each other. The last time they discussed something in the study, it was the matter of Du Jingyi revealing his identity, and now, they were still discussing this identity.

"Do you think someone may have accidentally discovered your identity and did this on purpose?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As soon as Uncle Su opened his mouth to say this, he interrupted himself.

"I am so stupid. Knowing that you are Gu's daughter-in-law, why would you go against us?"

It was this sentence that immediately made Du Jingyi react, and he spoke with shining eyes.

"Uncle Su's words make sense. Since it's not right to say it directly, then the other party might mean the opposite. He doesn't know that Yan Zhiqing is me, but he speculates that maybe there is some connection with the Su family, so he wants to find me through you, and he should have succeeded now."

"What's the meaning?"

The Su family father and son suddenly became alarmed, and looked at Du Jingyi with a panicked look.

After they knew the news, they hadn't told anyone, not even their family members. But now Du Jingyi was certain that the other party already knew her identity, so she immediately became alert.

Could it be that there is a traitor around me?

Those who followed them were their trusted confidants of several decades. If there really was a traitor, many of the Su family's secrets would be leaked out, so they had to be nervous.

When Du Jingyi saw them like this, he understood and quickly added a sentence.

"Don't worry, great-uncle and uncle. It's not a traitor. It's because Uncle Su said something on the dock just now. You said it's useless even if you saw it clearly. It's fake anyway. If I'm not mistaken, the person who set the fire last night should be at the scene, so after hearing this, he can be completely sure that the Su family must know Yan Zhiqing's true identity. Even if he can't guess it's me, he should be able to guess that it's related to the Gu family."

"What's the meaning?"

"The Su family's things were burned overnight. If it were any other day, I'm afraid that the whole city of Jinling would have been in a state of turmoil looking for the real culprit. But now that we've arrived, it's just gossip among the people. The only thing that can make the Su family take such an attitude is that the Su family knows the true identity of Yan Zhiqing and wants to protect him. After all, isn't it our Gu family that's responsible?"

Hearing this, both the Su family's father and son looked unhappy.

After they heard the news, they rushed there in a hurry, but they ignored the fact that if an unfamiliar person took action, the Su family's hunting orders would be flying all over the place, and they would not have waited until now.

Therefore, they also knew that they were the ones who exposed Yan Zhiqing's identity and felt quite guilty.
