The Ji family entered the Gu Mansion.
The courtyard of the Gu Mansion was bustling with activity today. Long tables were lined up outdoors, and people were chatting and chatting everywhere. Gu Changzhou, wearing a luxurious silk gown, greeted guests in the courtyard for the first time.
Master Ji and Gu Changzhou were acquainted, and the two soon began chatting in the corridor. Ji Zhifei, who had always disliked such small talk, waited alone in the courtyard.
"Master, the one at the door just now was Mr. Zhao Li, right?" A servant came up to Ji Zhifei and whispered.
"Yes." Ji Zhifei said calmly.
The servant asked, "Then isn't the person next to him the Gu family's teacher, the Little Third Scholar Qin Zhao?"
"Most likely." Ji Zhifei hummed, "I thought he was someone important, but after seeing him today, he's nothing more than this."
Since knowing that Jing Li and Gu Heng knew each other, Ji Zhifei quickly found out Jing Li's identity.
The husband of the teacher in the Gu family.
This identity was somewhat unexpected to Ji Zhifei.
Although a little surprised, it wasn't strange. Everyone knew that the person Gu Heng respected most, besides his parents, was Mr. Qin, his teacher. It was perfectly normal for him to stand up for his husband.
But... compared to Ji Zhifei's previous guess, this identity is really not good enough.
Ji Zhifei sneered: "A mere husband of a teacher is trying to imitate others and bully others..."
"Then do you want to... teach him a lesson?" The servant lowered his voice and said meaningfully.
Ji Zhifei understood the implication of his words and sneered, "What nonsense are you imagining? Today is the Gu family's banquet, and we are here to congratulate them. How can we do something so ungentlemanly?"
The servant continued, "But Qin Zhao went to the government office a while ago to report to the authorities, demanding a thorough re-investigation of Boss Chang's case... This is probably what her husband wanted, right?"
"Is that even necessary?"
As the two were talking, they saw the teacher from the Gu family walking into the house with her husband.
Ji Zhifei looked at the two men's clasped hands and narrowed his eyes slightly. "He thought he could find fault with me this way. He really underestimated me."
Chang Lao Er was indeed not killed by Boss Chang, but was planned by Ji Zhifei.
The person who did it was a killer he had bought from the black market. He killed and dumped the body, and put the blame on Boss Chang. The series of actions were clean and neat. Moreover, long after the incident, the killer left the city at the instruction of Ji Zhifei, and would never leave any loopholes.
No matter how hard the authorities investigated, they couldn't find the truth about him.
Ji Zhifei hadn't originally intended for things to turn out like this.
From the very beginning, his goal was just the title deed.
He had bought the second brother, had him mortgage the bookshop to him, and then smoothly obtained the land deed. This matter should have been over. Who knew that Mr. Zhaoli would suddenly appear and ask Gu Heng to intervene and embarrass him in public.
If he returns the land deed like this, how can he hold his head up in the capital city in the future?
Returning the title deeds is out of the question.
Since you don't want to pay it back, we can only let something happen to Boss Chang first.
Ji Zhifei naturally thought of Chang Laoer, who was hidden by him.
However, Ji Zhifei did not expect that Mr. Zhaoli, who looked weak and frail, had such courage and even ran to the government to request a thorough re-investigation of the case.
He was not worried about being discovered, but this action was undoubtedly a provocation to Ji Zhifei.
Thinking of this, Ji Zhifei raised a subtle smile: "But you are right, it seems too easy to just let him go."
"Young Master——"
Ji Zhifei ignored him and walked towards Qin Zhao and Jing Li with a swagger.
"Isn't this last year's top three winners, Mr. Qin?" Ji Zhifei stopped in front of Qin Zhao and said with a smile.
His voice was neither loud nor soft, and immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
