Chapter 1736: Chapter 1733: Suspicion

Su Mei’s sleep was light. In the middle of the night, upon hearing noises, she knew something had happened. However, as instructed by Ye Muyu beforehand, she was told not to come out no matter what she heard, prioritizing her own safety.

Su Mei only obeyed after confirming that nothing was wrong in the next room where Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were. She also realized that going out would bring trouble. However, if anything happened to her master, she would go out even if she knew the danger.

“Hmm, go find it, there’s no need to hide it.” Ye Muyu thought this was a good opportunity.

With many eyes on the Chu family, regardless of the reason, the Gao Family dared to act directly, so they must pay the price.

Su Mei understood and nodded, “This servant will handle it right away.”

Finding plasterers was quite easy for the Chu family. Soon, manpower was arranged, new tiles were bought, and the damaged rooftop was being repaired.

After Chu Heng’s people captured the assassins sent by the Gao Family, and the news of the interrogation spread, Gao Ren learned of this and his face turned pale.

He sat on the chair, his expression solemn. After repeatedly confirming the news, he understood that the assassin caught by Chu Heng was a troublesome presence; the person could not be allowed to live, as they were a leverage.

Having been caught by Chu Heng, how could they be let go so easily? If any incriminating confession was elicited, his family would surely not be able to withstand Chu Heng’s retaliation.

Gao Ren’s grasp on the side of the chair tightened so much his hand turned white. After a while, bearing the risk of being scolded, he passed the news to the higher-ups.

This time, the reply came quickly, within less than an hour, he received the response.

Seeing the curses in the mind of the other party, Gao Ren’s face darkened. He felt recently he was quite unlucky, as everything seemed to go wrong, all because of the Chu family.

Apparently, that lady from the Chu family was no pushover either. Appearing gentle and amiable on the surface, in reality, her tactics were plenty.

When Gao Ren saw the conclusion, confirming he would send someone to deal with the assassin, only then did he relax.

That assassin was not someone Gao Ren raised, which is why he was quite relieved. The person’s skills were exceptional, and truth be told, it was a pity to deal with them, but thinking of Chu Heng’s interrogation methods, driven by interests, losing a secret guard was not a big deal.

Yet, why was it so smooth last time, but this time they were caught before any action?

Gao Ren couldn’t help but ponder, and hurriedly arranged for people to investigate the situation.

After learning someone secretly delivered items to the Chu family twice, Gao Ren was perplexed again. Initially, he suspected that the previous success was due to the Chu family’s indulgence, intentionally giving an opportunity; perhaps the Chu family’s wood carvings were not really compromised, otherwise, why would they clearly know Bai Bao Ge had wood carvings suitable for the birthday banquet, yet did not want them?

Even to the point of refusing and directly competing with his family at the ready-made clothing shops.

With the Chu family’s connections, they surely knew Bailan Pavilion and Bai Bao Ge were both owned by the Gao Family. If Madam Chu’s carved wood truly had issues, why weren’t they anxious? With this thought, he suspected all the previous successes might have been a trap.

But now the investigation seems to be different; could it be that the Chu family really found other wood carvings?

Especially when the subordinates sent word, informing him that the Palace Attendants in the Chu family’s Wood Workshop had been carving wood sculptures continuously and had arranged the most skilled carpenter to do the work.

It seems they are also in a rush.

So, it’s very likely the Chu family has obtained them.
