Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Niang suppressed the urge to scold Liu Zhong. Who did he think he was? He actually wanted to see their Madam!

“If you have evidence, just show it and arrest us! If not, there’s no need to waste time here!”

Yuan Niang glanced at Liu Zhong as she said rudely.

Regarding Yuan Niang’s rejection and hostility, Liu Zhong remained calm as he looked at Yuan Niang and explained very patiently, “There are some things that I need to trouble your family to ask about. It’s not that I want to cause trouble, but all kinds of evidence point to your medical center now.

Therefore, I’m just doing this to investigate the case. Please forgive me.”

“Our master doesn’t interfere in the shop’s matters.

I was the one who arranged for this cooperation with the boss of that restaurant. To be honest, I’m really regretting it now!

We saw that it was difficult for a woman like her to run a business, so we helped her as much as we could. However, she wasn’t grateful at all. She actually colluded with outsiders and betrayed our medical center for money. She helped outsiders create rumors to target our medical center.

I reported this matter to the head of the family. The head of the family said that it wasn’t easy to do business, so it was best to be more understanding and not be too ruthless, in case they acted out of desperation.

Therefore, in the end, I only informed the boss that she wouldn’t have to send food to our medical center in the future. After informing her, we settled all our accounts.

After that, we never interacted again!

I’m telling the truth!

I don’t know why the boss’s family was poisoned to death… They were silenced by someone!”

Yuan Niang patiently repeated what she had said to Liu Zhong previously. However, at this point, she suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Liu Zhong. “Why don’t you think about why someone wanted to silence their family?”

That was very likely.

When Liu Zhong heard Yuan Niang’s analysis, he didn’t look surprised. Instead, he said calmly, “That’s why I wanted to meet your master and see who had a grudge against them.

This is for the sake of finding out the truth as soon as possible. Please ask on my behalf.”

Although Liu Zhong’s request was a little too much and incomprehensible from Yuan Niang’s perspective, Yuan Niang knew that he was trying his best to find out the truth, so she couldn’t continue to make things difficult for him.

Moreover, Liu Zhong’s attitude had been gentle and polite from the beginning until now. If she continued to flare up, she would be the one being unreasonable.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Niang finally relented and said in a low voice, “Alright, but I can only help you ask for my master’s opinion.”

“He wants to see me?” When Lin Suisui heard Yuan Niang’s report, she was surprised. However, after thinking about it, she could understand why Liu Zhong wanted to see her.

After she thought about it for a moment, she finally nodded. “Alright, get someone to inform him that I’ll wait for him at the medical center tomorrow morning.”

It just so happened that she had to go over tomorrow to check the pulse of those merchants who had been poisoned, so she would see Liu Zhong along the way.

After Liu Zhong received the news that Yuan Niang had sent someone over, he rushed over early the next morning.

Although Yuan Niang didn’t make things difficult for him and helped him pass the message, she still didn’t act friendly when she saw him. After she placed the teacup she had prepared on the tea table beside Liu Zhong, she instructed reluctantly, “Our master will be here soon. You have to be gentle later. Don’t offend her!”

Liu Zhong thanked Yuan Niang first before saying, “Don’t worry, Miss. I definitely won’t ask about anything unrelated to the case.

However, you reminded me of something.

Previously, you said that you were the one who facilitated the cooperation with the boss of the eatery?”

“Yes.” Yuan Niang nodded calmly and replied, “At that time, our medical center had just opened. We were busy and there was no one to cook. Coincidentally, during that period of time, when the shop was preparing, we bought food from that restaurant. Everyone felt that the food tasted good, so we didn’t want to change to another restaurant.”

There was nothing to hide.

Everyone was open for business and this restaurant was relatively famous in the nearby area, so it was normal for her to want to cooperate with it.

“I see. Then did anything amiss happen midway?” Liu Zhong nodded to show that he understood. Then, he continued to ask, “What I mean is, did you have any contact with the boss?”

“Yes.” Yuan Niang nodded and sat down on a chair at the side. After she thought about it, she said to Liu Zhong, “She said that she married an inhumane man. Her husband drank too much and liked to gamble. Almost all the money in the family was gambled away by her husband. It was all thanks to her opening this shop that they could earn a living.

She also said that her husband often beat her.

In short, she sounded very miserable. I saw that she was really pitiful, so I thought of helping her. After all, the food she made at that time was the best in terms of taste and quantity.

Then there’s nothing wrong with us choosing her!

After that unpleasant incident, she came over and complained to me once.

She said that it was all because her relatives and women were insensible, and that woman was her husband’s relative, so it was difficult for her to deal with her.

She asked me to forgive her this time and she promised to personally deliver food in the future.”

“You didn’t agree?” Liu Zhong looked at Yuan Niang in shock.

After all, according to his investigation, in order to make the girl in front of him change her mind, the boss of the eatery had cried a few times. Once, she even knelt down and begged for mercy in public.

However, the woman in front of him had no intention of changing her mind at all. She asked the assistant to send the boss out of the medical center.

“Once unfaithful, never to be forgiven!” Yuan Niang met Liu Zhong’s gaze very calmly and replied, “She’s pitiful, but there’s a saying that pitiful people must have something hateful about them.

If she had no way to keep her relatives in check, so I forgave her this time, what about the next time? What about after that? The risk is too high. I can’t afford to take the risk..”
