Unbeknownst to them, all their arrangements were overheard by Liu Yi and the others.
Once the information gathering was complete, the two swiftly returned to Liu Qingxi's side:
"Miss, we have clarified the situation. There are two individuals secretly plotting against you. One of them is Liang Siji from Biqi Town. Before you arrived, he was the most renowned builder in Biqi Town, with a steady stream of business.
However, since your arrival, his business has been lackluster and has not opened for over half a year, which has left him resentful.
As for the other individual, he is not from Biqi Town but has been closely following Liang Siji during this time. Such a malicious scheme cannot be without his involvement; we just have yet to confirm his identity."
"Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work. I understand now; let them walk the path they have arranged for themselves this time." Liu Qingxi was determined to show them her capabilities.
All these arrangements were made to prevent future troubles.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Yang Yichen had formed an alliance with Dugu Hao, resulting in a significant decrease in visitors. It was unclear what methods they had employed to achieve such remarkable results.
Suddenly, the young man stood up, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the sunlight.
A moment later, he appeared at Brother's newly opened Blacksmith Shop.
Upon seeing him arrive, a burly man inside, drenched in sweat, clapped him on the shoulder: "You finally made it! Well done; this time's Top Scholar belongs to you."
"Uncle, you're too kind. I was merely fortunate. Thank you for rushing here to the capital and opening the shop; it must have been tough!"
The man in his thirties, muscular and loud-voiced, replied: "We work wherever we are; we follow your lead."
This Blacksmith Shop was their first step into the capital.
Yang Yichen nodded slightly and gave some instructions: "Without my orders, do not expose those unique weapons. This is the capital, not our base; everything must be cautious."
"Yes, Young Master, rest assured; we know our limits!" Indeed, everyone here was part of Inorganic Gate. After being taken in by Inorganic Gate and raised there while learning their craft and starting families, they lived like normal people but had to adhere to the rules of their organization.
However, there was one advantage: as long as they were part of Inorganic Gate, no one could bully them. If anyone faced an attack outside, Inorganic Gate would retaliate without hesitation; it was that simple and protective.
In Biqi Town, several individuals stealthily approached Boss Qian's house as dusk fell.
A few people tiptoed cautiously inside, whispering, "Let's take it slow, don't let anyone find out."
"What are they going to discover? It's the middle of the night, and they’re all asleep. We only came after they went to bed, so there's no rush."
The group thought they were being discreet, unaware that their every move had already been observed.
These individuals had already scouted the route and were now ready to act under the cover of darkness.
Their destination was none other than the pillars in the Flowing Villa area.
As they got closer, one of them pulled out a hard object from their waist, preparing to break in. Just at that critical moment, a young man approached quickly and whispered, "What are you doing?"
"Ah!!!" The group gasped in surprise. "Who are you?"
The newcomer didn’t answer but stepped forward confidently. "What are you sneaking around for at this hour? Hurry up, or I’ll call the police."
In the darkness, the group exchanged glances and decided to take action without hesitation; what was there to fear?
Suddenly, they surrounded the young man, each grabbing him on either side.
"Wait, wait! I was just joking!" The young man quickly backed down, raising his hands defensively. "Don’t hit me! I’m just here because I was forced to come look at the house."
"Hah!!!" The would-be vandals laughed. "How can we trust you? Beat him up!"
"Hey, hey! Don’t do that! I'm just like you; I hate Liu Qingxi too!" The disgust on the young man's face seemed genuine as he spoke about Liu Qingxi's misdeeds.
"You don’t know? She’s just a little rich! In this village, she acts like she owns everyone. She treats all the kids like her slaves—working hard for little pay and sometimes not even enough to eat. And she complains about everything! I’ve been fed up with her for a long time!"
"We young people can tolerate it, but she shows no respect for elders either. I want to teach her a lesson; this is a perfect opportunity."
Before long, the young man was seen as an ally by the others. "I know this area well; I can show you a shortcut to the main gate."
Indeed, with a local guiding them, things became much easier. They avoided many detours and headed straight for the half-built pillars.
It is no wonder that they were so easily convinced; the youth's simplicity had touched their hearts, and he enthusiastically led the way. The leader patted the shoulder of the Young Man and said, "Follow me, brother, and you can rest assured. You won't be let down. If this deal goes through, it will be enough to support your family for a year."
"Hey hey hey, thank you, big brother! Thank you!" he replied with a joyful smile.
The group arrived by the pillar and picked up shovels and other tools to get to work. The seemingly rebellious youth watched coldly, and when they finished, he even respectfully saw them off.
This surprised the gangsters; they hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. They encountered a fool: "Liu Qingxi, you're not much after all! You can't even manage your own people; how can you compete with me?" This was Ren Qiangsheng's reflection after hearing the report from his men.
It seemed as if he could see Liu Qingxi's downfall in the next moment, a complete release of the hardships endured over the past year.
The next day, the Construction Team was as busy as usual. After working all night on destruction, several people came early in the morning—not to draw routes but to watch the spectacle of Ten Li Pu getting slapped in the face by reality.
They watched intently as those constructing the pillars worked. Not far from Boss Qian's homestead, a dark carriage slowly approached. Inside was a face of a man in his thirties, wearing a sinister smile as he gazed towards the construction site, seemingly waiting for a certain moment.
"Liu Qingxi, I'm back. Are you scared?" The man smiled as he looked into the distance, feeling incredibly pleased; victory was within reach.
At the construction site, Zhang Sanyou, the leader, said, "Hey Kid, take it easy. The pillar we are building is very important; we can't afford any mistakes, understand?"
"Yes, Sanyou, you can rest assured! We understand!" More than ten strong men rolled up their pant legs and jumped into the water to get busy.
At that moment...
