Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

"Lu Qian!"

Gao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this guy!

If we're talking about grudges, his grudge against Lin Chong is the deepest, because he's the one who tricked Lin Chong!

This guy had been secretly plotting to kill Lin Chong using me!

His motive for wanting to kill Lin Chong was far stronger than that of the judge!

But how did Lu Qian get involved with Sun Yuan? These two are completely unrelated!

Gao Zhao turned to look at Shi Qian and said in a deep voice, "You saw him talking to Sun Yuan?"

"No! There were too many people on Ma Xing Street, I couldn't see clearly. They just brushed past each other, I don't know if they said anything!"

Shi Qian shook his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, Lu Qian lives nearby, so it's normal for him to be there! It was only when the young master mentioned these places that I remembered!"

"Where?" Gao Zhao asked, puzzled, looking down at the map.

Shi Qian pointed to the markings on the map and said, "The Zhujiaqiao market mainly sells tables and chairs, and the small lacquer shop near Sun Yuan's house also mainly sells plain wood furniture at cheap prices. Lu Qian's house is currently under renovation..."

"Oh..." Gao Zhao suddenly realized that Lu Qian not only had a motive, but it was also entirely possible that he contacted Sun Yuan. This... makes sense!

Gao Zhao slammed his fist on the table and stood up. That damned Lu Qian made me go through so much trouble, I have to go and get him!

Look at the place he chose! If I hadn't been studying at Biyong, I would have suspected that I had instructed Sun Yuan to harm Lin Chong!

Shi Qian hurriedly pulled him back, "Young Master, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to settle accounts with Lu Qian! He's most likely the one who did it, I won't let him get away with this!" Gao Zhao said matter-of-factly, and started to walk out.

"Wait, young master!" Shi Qian blocked his way, probing, "Young master, did you really not instigate Lu Qian? You didn't mean to... Lin Chong's wife..."

Holy crap!

These people have ruined my reputation!

Yes, I was drooling over the beautiful sight of the branches laden with fruit, but I never intended to kill Lin Chong!

They're all trying to pin this on me!

Enraged, Gao Zhao raised his foot to kick Shi Qian aside and go find Lu Qian to kill!

"Young master, please calm down and listen to me again!" Shi Qian quickly jumped back, then leaned closer and whispered, "Are you planning to question Lu Qian? But what if Lu Qian admits it? What will you do then?"

"Naturally, we should take him to the authorities..." Gao Zhao said, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Although Lu Qian is a scoundrel, he is absolutely loyal to me!

To please himself, he even sold out his best friend's wife!

Could he really put Lu Qian to death just to avenge Lin Chong?

The key question is whether Lin Chong is worthy of it.

It would be more like it was his wife instead!

"I understand what you mean!" Gao Zhao's expression softened, and he patted Shi Qian's shoulder before asking, "Then what do you think I should do? If I pretend I don't know, that bastard will definitely laugh at me behind my back, wouldn't that be incredibly frustrating?"

"Of course we can't let the young master feel aggrieved!" Shi Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gao Zhao had no intention of sending Lu Qian to his death. It wasn't that he had a good relationship with Lu Qian, but rather that he was concerned about whether Gao Zhao would protect his own people.

Seeing that Gao Zhao chose to protect his own at this time, Shi Qian was naturally delighted and hurriedly said, "Young Master, why don't we bring this up with Lu Qian and scare him half to death first? Then you can let him go easily. At that time, Lu Qian will definitely be grateful to you and will be devoted to you from now on."

Wow... that's a great idea!

Gao Zhao gave Shi Qian a deep look, never expecting that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would have such a cunning... ingenious plan!

Oh, that's exactly what I wanted!

This gives us another reason to let Lu Qian go; it's cost-effective!

After getting Lin Chong's gratitude points, I can also get Lu Qian's next round. This is a huge win!

……

Lu Qian is still living in the Palace Marshal's Mansion. His house was smashed to a mess by Lin Chong, and it will take some time to restore it to its original state!

Gao Zhao has been sent to study these days, and since Gao Qiu doesn't need his company anymore, he's quite happy to have some free time and can do some things of his own...

Just then, footsteps were heard from outside. Lu Qian got up and looked, only to see Gao Zhao and Shi Qian walk in.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets you, young master!"

Hearing this, Gao Zhao turned around and laughed, "Old Lu, I heard you're renovating your house! Don't forget to treat me to a drink when it's finished!"

"It is my honor that you would grace us with your presence, young master!" Lu Qian hurriedly bowed and smiled apologetically.

"Okay, sure!" Gao Zhao replied casually and walked into the room.

Seeing that Gao Zhao clearly had something to discuss with Shi Qian, Lu Qian didn't dare to disturb him and risk making a fool of himself, so he prepared to leave. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard Gao Zhao's voice from inside the room: "Are you sure Sun Yuan left something behind before he died?"

Lu Qian's expression froze, and his feet involuntarily moved towards the door. Then he heard Shi Qian say, "I've been following Sun Yuan. When I heard his scream, I rushed in. Before he saw me, he said two words. I didn't hear what he said at the time. It wasn't until today, when I passed by a cabinet shop in Nanshi, that I realized he meant kitchen cabinet."

"Oh, so that means Sun Yuan kept the identity of the person who was directing him in the closet!"

"I'm not sure either! But he was murdered, and before he died, he must have wanted revenge, to avenge himself. That's probably it!"

"Okay, let's go retrieve the evidence!"

"Young master, please calm down. Since Sun Yuangang has gotten into trouble, his family is bound to be under scrutiny. Why don't we go and retrieve it tonight when it's quiet and everyone is asleep?"

"That makes sense!"

……

Hearing the two people inside the room talking about other things, Lu Qian quietly left the door, his brows furrowed with fear!

That damned Sun Yuan, he even left behind evidence!

We all agreed not to reveal our identities!

That damned thing, he broke his promise! He deserves to die!

He returned to his room and paced back and forth. Before he knew it, it was already dark. Recalling the conversation between Gao Zhao and Shi Qian, he knew that he didn't have much time left and had to act as soon as possible.

So he changed into a black outfit and quietly went out the door.

By the time they arrived near Sun Yuan's house, it was already completely dark, and there were very few people coming and going in front of the door.

He arrived at the door and saw a seal on it, so he gently lifted it and quietly went inside.

He took out a tinderbox and, using the dim light, began to examine the room's furnishings. After searching around, he couldn't find the cabinet anywhere.

Could it have been moved by the government? But there's no sign of it being moved!

Could it be that Sun Yuan's family doesn't even have kitchen cabinets?

What the young master and his companions said...

Lu Qian suddenly realized something, his pupils contracted sharply, "Damn it, we've fallen into a trap!"

He had just turned to leave when the door slammed open, and Shi Qian's face was reflected in the firelight. "Lu Qian, how dare you!"

"Clatter!"

The tinder in Lu Qian's hand fell to the ground.
