When was it stolen?
"The second night after opening."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xingyan snorted inwardly. He hadn't even known about this; Xia Zhaodi had kept it well hidden.
Why are you telling me this?
"I'd like to ask you for help. Could you please tell her that it was a misunderstanding when she appears in court?"
"He Fuming, when did you become so cowardly? If you're going to ask why you don't go yourself, you have a hundred men under your command, are you afraid of her?"
Sun Xingyan's praise was tinged with his habitual sarcasm.
Do you know who else showed up that night?
"who?"
"Chenshan Tower".
"he?"
It's Chenshan Tower again. I ran into him on the first day, and he's the same one on the second day. Does he patrol that road every day? Or has he taken a liking to Xia Zhaodi and is trying to impress her?
"Yes, according to his relatives, Chenshanlou and the proprietress seem to have a very good relationship."
Sun Xingyan's heart skipped a beat. Shen Shanlou should know that Xia Zhaodi was a married woman.
Is he so desperate for sex, or does he have some other purpose?

"You know about something else that happened recently. Chen Shanlou specifically contacted me and warned me that if I didn't behave myself, he would shut down my dance hall. Also, I heard that Chen Shanlou has a very powerful grandfather."
"Since you're so concerned, that relative might be a relative of your mistress, right?"
"You guessed right, she's been bothering me every day for the past few days, so I have no choice but to ask someone to help me out."
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you said yourself that Chen Shanlou was there at the time. Even if the landlady changes her story, there’s still his testimony. If you want to start with the landlady, why don’t you try going to Chen Shanlou? Once Chen Shanlou agrees, everything will be much easier.”
"You've really woken me up! You're right, I should have gone to Chenshanlou. Alright, thanks. Come to our private room and have a few drinks, it's on me."
"No, we have quite a few brothers, and there aren't enough seats inside. Maybe next time."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink next time, just the two of us."
"good."
Sun Xingyan turned around, sneered twice, and went into the private room he had booked.
