Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

When the carriage was about to reach Suiyilou, Zhao Yuncong couldn't help but ask Deng Xiong a question: "Sanxiong, how did the boss know that Sihu was the mastermind behind this incident?"

Zhao Yuncong was puzzled by this problem.

Deng Xiong scratched his head: "Ah Wan said that she saw the shape of Mr. Qian's mouth before he died. Mr. Qian was talking about Si Hu."

Zhao Yuncong opened his mouth and silently uttered the word "Sihu", and his lip shape was indeed obvious.

Can……

"Sanxiong, the lip shapes when you say 'Si Hu' and 'Si Gong' seem to be similar.

No way... I didn’t hit the wrong person, did I?"

Zhao Yuncong thought about the consequences of hitting the wrong person and his face turned pale.

Deng Xiong glanced at Zhao Yuncong and said, "Ah Wan is not you, how could we be wrong? It must be Si Hu!"

Zhao Yuncong did not argue with Deng Xiong about this issue anymore, but the worry on his face became more and more serious.

Cheng Wan lifted the car curtain and said calmly, "Since I have taken action, I must be 100% sure. Don't worry about it."

The lip shapes of "Si Gong" and "Si Hu" are indeed similar, but no one could hear clearly whether Qian Yongkang's last word was "Gong" or "Hu".

But Cheng Wan has a cheat.

Within a radius of ten meters, Jin Jin can capture any movement.

Even if it is just a tiny "household".

In fact, Jin Jin reminded Cheng Wan in her mind that there was an arrow and asked Cheng Wan to be careful. Cheng Wan's first reaction was to protect Mayor Mao and Xu Zhuocheng, which caused him to be half a step slower and failed to block the arrow shot at Qian Yongkang.

"Boss." Zhao Yuncong turned around quickly.

Cheng Wan smiled at Zhao Yuncong soothingly: "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Your salary this month will be tripled."

"No need, boss, I'm willing to work for you." Zhao Yuncong waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'm not being polite. Just accept it. This way you'll be happy and I'll feel at ease."

Zhao Yuncong felt Cheng Wan's sincerity. He pursed his lips and thanked Cheng Wan sincerely: "Thank you, boss."

Cheng Wan smiled, looked up at the Suiyi Building which was just around the corner, and said nothing more.

When Cheng Wan decided to take action against the eldest grandson of Tang Huairen, the chief accountant, she was prepared for Tang Huairen to settle the score with her.

Since Cheng Wan dared to attack Tang Huairen's grandson openly, he was not afraid of going to court with Tang Huairen.

Tang Huairen must also be aware of this.

So Cheng Wan guessed that Tang Huairen would either endure it this time or give up on causing trouble for her for the time being.

Either he would attack the Cheng family in a simple and rough manner in a rage, or he would attack her directly.

Cheng Wan wasn't sure which of these two possibilities was more likely to occur.

But in the second possibility, Cheng Wan is inclined to think that Tang Huairen will attack her directly.

Unless Tang Huairen was absolutely confident that he could get rid of her immediately after attacking the Cheng family, Tang Huairen would not dare to bet that she would be so angry that she would really wipe out his descendants without considering the consequences.

Tang Huairen didn't dare to gamble with his family, and Cheng Wan didn't dare to gamble with his family either.

To be on the safe side, after Suiyilou closed today, Cheng Wan paid for Zhang Po and others in Suiyilou to stay in an inn.

As for Old Lady Lin and other members of the Cheng family, Cheng Wan asked them to go to the Xu Mansion to find Xu Zhuocheng.

Cheng Wan believed that Xu Zhuocheng would properly settle Mrs. Lin and others.

Cheng Wan could only say sorry in his heart for troubling Xu Zhuocheng again.

Although Old Lady Lin and other members of the Cheng family wanted to stay in Suiyi Building to accompany Cheng Wan, they knew very well that they would be a burden if there was real danger.

Therefore, Old Lady Lin and the others ignored Cheng Wan’s earnest advice and suppressed their worries as they left Suiyi Building, looking back every few steps.

Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong insisted on staying.

As a result, the two were dragged away by Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Wang, grabbing their ears respectively.

In fact, if Cheng Wan wanted to, she could avoid the crisis that might happen this time.

For example, she could go and tell the truth to Magistrate Mao and seek his protection.

If it really doesn't work, she can still go to the Prince's Mansion. Although Mu Yao is leading the troops outside and is not in the mansion, Gu Yan said that if she encounters problems that cannot be solved, she can ask the Prince's Concubine for help.

In short, we have to drag it out until Prince Rui returns to Shuoyang City, and then Tang Huairen will have to stop his actions.

But Cheng Wan didn't want to hide.

Cheng Wan was not a qualified politician or conspirator. She instinctively felt that the longer she delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

If you are not careful, you will step into the trap set by others.

It's not always possible to climb out of the pit as smoothly as this time.

The greater possibility is that you will fall into a pit and never be able to climb out.

Or even if they crawl out, they will have missing limbs.

Cheng Wan had a lot of important things to do next, and she didn't want to waste her time and energy on a battle of wits and brutality with Tang Huairen.

Tang Huairen wanted to stir up trouble while Prince Rui was away, and Cheng Wan also wanted to "drive Tang Huairen crazy" while Prince Rui was away.

When Prince Rui comes back, not only will Tang Huairen be restricted, but Cheng Wan will also be restricted.

In this case, Cheng Wan would rather face this crisis that might come.

No, it is a crisis that is likely to come.

As soon as Prince Rui left, Tang Huairen couldn't wait to take action.

I'm afraid Tang Huairen will find it hard to bear today's anger...

The night was quiet and Cheng Wan was the only one left in the entire Suiyi Building.

At this time, Cheng Wan was practicing his killing moves with a knife in the backyard of Suiyi Building.

Cheng Wan has both speed and strength, but he lacks formal training in martial arts techniques.

However, Cheng Wan has killed quite a few people. After consulting Gu Yan, Cheng Wan has developed a set of killing techniques that make him feel comfortable.

When Cheng Daping came back this time, Cheng Wan also asked Cheng Daping for advice.

To sum up, Cheng Wan's killing moves are somewhat weird.

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate Cheng Wan's fighting ability.

"Whoo~"

Cheng Wan put away his knife and stood up, wiping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Master, go and have a rest. Jinjin will help you watch. If anyone approaches, Jinjin will wake you up immediately."

"Okay, thank you Jinjin!"

Cheng Wan didn't keep holding on.

She had to conserve her energy as much as possible.

Nothing happened this night.

Cheng Wan was not surprised at all.

The tug-of-war before the war has just begun.

In the next few days, Cheng Wan went on duty on time while carefully paying attention to the movements around him.

At the beginning, Old Lady Lin and other members of the Xu family were worried every day, fearing that they would hear news of a fight in the building at night.

But nothing happened for several days, and the hearts of Old Lady Lin and others, which had been in their throats, gradually calmed down.

If Cheng Wan hadn't insisted that they continue to live outside Suiyi Building, Old Lady Lin and others would have moved back to Suiyi Building.

Old Lady Lin and others didn't feel anything, but Cheng Wan knew that he was being monitored all the time during the day.

Cheng Wan didn't know why Tang Huairen was so slow to act.

Maybe he wanted to cause her mental breakdown through external pressure?

Then she really couldn't break down at all.

Facing increasingly exposed gazes in the dark and increasingly tense atmosphere, Cheng Wan remained as usual.

It’s the 14th day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

It was already late, but Cheng Wan hadn't gone to bed yet.

She had an inexplicable intuition.

There is no peace tonight.

Cheng Wan was leaning on the blade of a sword, sitting on a chair in the main hall of the backyard of Suiyi Building, his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.

Time passed little by little, and at a certain moment, Cheng Wan suddenly opened his eyes and drew his sword.

“Jinjin, they are here.

You have my back."
