Chapter 3029 - 3030: Quite Capable

Chapter 3029: Chapter 3030: Quite Capable

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit awkward, "Sangta, the situation is a bit chaotic now, it’s not aimed at you."

"I know you’ve run into trouble, that’s why I rushed back to help. I can put aside past grudges, yet you’re shutting friends out?" Sangta asked.

Zhong Kui didn’t want to make things difficult for Bai Ruozhu, so he stepped in and said, "This is the decision of the Zhong Family; it’s inconvenient for us to have too many outsiders entering at the moment. Apologies."

As he spoke, he intended to push Sangta outside. Sangta’s eyes reddened with anger, "Go tell Ao Song I’m here to discuss trade with Bai Ruozhu. She’s now been delayed here for Ao Song, what’s the use of me going to Gaochang first? She’s already married; I’m not some relentless pursuer!"

Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat. Look, he’s calling her by name; he’s really mad at her.

She sighed silently; indeed, Sangta wasn’t wrong, but the Zhong Family’s situation is unclear now; they’re unlikely to let him in.

"King of the Barbarian Tribe, please return, you can wait in the city for Lord Bai and the others," Zhong Kui said.

"Fine, I’ll wait outside!" Sangta turned and left, instructing his subordinates to set up a tent outside the Zhong Family’s main gate after he left.

Barbarian Clan are nomadic; wherever they go, they set up tents to live. This was second nature to them, and in the blink of an eye, the tent was erected.

Bai Ruozhu broke out in cold sweat. Forget it, she’d better leave for now; Sangta can be a real headache when stubborn.

Jiang Yichun now felt some sympathy for Sangta, saying his love life was unfortunate, but he wouldn’t speak on behalf of that guy to let him into the Zhong Family.

Two days later, Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou conducted a secret investigation at the Zhong Family but found no leads due to the strict guards everywhere.

"Who is the traitor?" Gao Zhou said, scratching his head in frustration.

"I suspect one of the elders, or someone close to the elders," Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun also agreed, "We know too little about the Zhong Family. Try to find time to ask Ao Song or Madam Zhong to see who would benefit most from Ao Song’s downfall or who is quite powerful yet completely has no opportunity to become patriarch."

"If there’s no opportunity, what’s the benefit in killing Ao Song? They won’t get the chance anyway," Gao Zhou asked.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. She sort of understood why her father-in-law was so unfortunate back then; despite the advantage of being a transmigrator, he ended up like this.

The reason, of course, is not being smart.

Perhaps it’s because Gao Zhou is a doctor focused on academic research; he indeed lacks experience in intrigue.

"It’s precisely having no chance that prompts someone to steal the Taisui meat to cultivate a new Taisui. This process must be extremely complex and difficult. If there’s no choice, I don’t think it’s necessary to get a new Taisui," Bai Ruozhu explained.

"Yes, otherwise becoming the Zhong Family patriarch would allow access to the Taisui, right?" Chushuang said.

Gao Zhou glanced at the three of them, suddenly feeling his intelligence was questioned, including by his wife. Boo hoo hoo, it’s really bullying; he’s old and his brain isn’t functioning well, is that unacceptable?

"In a couple of days, I’ll go see Xiaoxiao; maybe he can remember something," Bai Ruozhu said again.

At this moment, Jianqi came to report, "Master, Sangta has sneaked into the Zhong Family and started fighting with the astrologer."

"What? He’s quite capable, breaking into the Zhong Family?" Bai Ruozhu exclaimed and dashed out of the room.
