After doing the bad deed, Shen Jing and his group had already run far away.
Finally, they stopped near a brightly lit brothel.
“Haha…”
Looking at each other's panting faces, the few of them couldn't help but burst into laughter, drawing glances from people around the brothel.
“So this is what it feels like to club someone!”
“If we ever meet that Sunzi again, we’ll club him again!”
“He doesn’t even know who beat him up. Wang Zan is probably so angry he’s about to spit blood…”
“Haha, Young Master Shen’s method is still the best!”
The few of them talked and laughed, and even Su Yourong giggled along.
She hadn't expected that there would be a day when she would be led to club someone.
But then again, this matter did seem much more interesting than playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
As she thought about it, Su Yourong couldn't help but glance at Shen Jing with a smile.
Well!
It seemed she had also been led astray by this scoundrel.
After laughing for a long time, the few of them finally stopped.
Li Zhao cupped his hands to Shen Jing and Su Yourong, “Although this act was not gentlemanly, it will surely be an unforgettable memory for us! Let us part ways here today; when we return to Luochuan Prefecture another day, we will pay our respects to you two!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
Qu Heng was in high spirits, “When we return to Luochuan Prefecture another day, we’ll find another chance to club that Sunzi!”
Hearing Qu Heng’s words, the two couldn't help but be speechless.
Had clubbing people become an addiction?
However, clubbing someone together was indeed an unforgettable memory.
Shen Jing also cupped his hands to the two, “The mountains and rivers meet again, and the future is always promising! We won’t see you off tomorrow, so I hope you two take care on your journey!”
Shen Jing hadn't been very familiar with Li Zhao and the others before, but after doing this deed together today, he suddenly felt much closer to them.
Having fought together, shared spoils together, whored together…
Mm, mm, this could be considered another level of fighting together.
“Take care!”
The two did not know what Shen Jing was thinking and returned the salute at the same time.

After a series of goodbyes, the few of them went their separate ways.
“You learn good from good people, and jump like a fake god with a master’s wife. That saying is truly accurate!”
Su Yourong looked at Shen Jing with a smile, “Look, I’ve been led astray by you.”
“Nonsense!”
Shen Jing was displeased, “I’m helping you unleash your true nature!”
Unleash her true nature?
Su Yourong was surprised.
Thinking about it carefully, it really was so.
“Your mouth, whatever you say, you’re always right.”
Su Yourong cast him a charming, reproachful glance, “By the way, do you think there’s something wrong with the reactions of the Zhao and Song families?”
Shen Jing nodded lightly, “You think so too?”
“Mm.”
Su Yourong nodded, “Logically speaking, under these circumstances, Zhao Ying and Song Lianxin shouldn’t still be in the mood to go boating and sightseeing, unless Zhao Ying believes Song Lianxin is certain to die and wants to spend more time with her before her death…”
“I thought so too before.” Shen Jing smiled, “However, based on my understanding of Song Lianxin and Zhao Ying, they shouldn’t be the kind of people who calmly accept their fate!”
When truly facing death, Song Lianxin would absolutely not be so calm.
Su Yourong narrowed her eyes: “Then that means there’s something fishy going on?”
“Most likely!”
A sharp glint flashed in Shen Jing’s eyes, “It seems I need to pay more attention to them!”
No matter what, he absolutely would not give the Wu Family a chance to make a comeback this time.
If he let them make a comeback, what would he even be doing in the future?
…
Early the next morning, Shen Jing went to find Du Yidao.
“This isn’t easy to keep an eye on!”
Du Yidao looked troubled, “I only have so many people. The Wu Family is a large enterprise; I can’t possibly keep track of everything!”
“That’s simple!”
Shen Jing smiled, “You just need to send people to secretly keep an eye on the Wu Family and a few of their cloth shops! Also, I will go to the Wu Family later and have Wu Xiong arrange a few capable people to help you with the surveillance.”
The Wu Family ran a horse caravan, and they did have some usable people under them.
Combining the forces of the two families, it shouldn't be difficult to keep an eye on the Wu Family’s base of operations.
If the Wu Family made any moves, the people coming and going from their home would definitely show some abnormalities.
And their cloth shops would certainly also show some abnormalities.
There were still four days left until the deadline he had set for the Wu Family.
Keeping an eye on them for a day or two should give them a general idea.
If there was a situation, they could also prepare in advance.
“No problem then!”
Du Yidao readily agreed, then asked in surprise, “This matter with the Wu Family should be set in stone, right? Are you still worried about something going wrong?”
This was a First-Rank Imperial Lady of the Court and a Princess.
With them backing it up, the Wu Family had already fallen into a pit; what waves could they possibly stir up?
Was he perhaps overestimating the Wu Family?
“Caution makes for a safe journey!”
Shen Jing smiled casually, not explaining too much to Du Yidao, and then asked, “Do any of your friends in the martial arts world know anyone reliable?”
“There are a few.”
Du Yidao was even more puzzled, “Does Young Master Shen have any other ideas?”
He wouldn’t be thinking of sending people to assassinate members of the Wu Family, would he?
Doing something like that at this point would be like taking off one’s pants to fart, wouldn’t it?
“I want to find some reliable people to work for me. The price is negotiable, but the people must be reliable!” Shen Jing said bluntly, “You also know that the profits from this white sugar business are too great, and it’s inevitable that some people will be envious. It’s always good to have more defensive power at hand.”
So that’s how it was.
Du Yidao suddenly understood.
“I’ll ask around later.”
Du Yidao didn’t give him any guarantees, “Many people in the martial arts world are used to wandering the world and don’t like being restricted.”
“Alright!”
Shen Jing smiled, “I just have this idea. If it works, it works; if not, then so be it. No need to force it!”
After discussing this matter, Shen Jing then asked about Fang Liuqi and Du Ying.
He only knew that these two had fallen for each other, but he knew nothing about when they would get engaged.
Earlier, because of the marriage contract, he had somewhat played a trick on Du Ying.
If Fang Liuqi were to get engaged to Du Ying, he would have to show his appreciation properly.
“As for the engagement, let’s wait until this matter with the Wu Family is over!”
Du Yidao looked at Shen Jing with a smile, “You almost became my son-in-law. Shouldn’t I wait until you’ve reaped enough benefits from the Wu Family before I thoroughly fleece you?”
Shen Jing was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter, “You should fleece me! If you don’t, I’ll feel like it’s not right!”
After chatting with Du Yidao for a while, Shen Jing got up to leave.
Afterward, he went to the Wu Family and discussed this matter with Wu Xiong as well.
After using the prescription Shen Jing gave him, Wu Xiong’s complexion was improving every day, so he naturally agreed to Shen Jing’s request without hesitation.
Leaving the Wu Family, Shen Jing secretly pondered whether he should go find Feng Min again.
But after much thought, he still dismissed the idea.
It was useless for him to go find Feng Min; it depended on what Feng Min himself truly thought.
If Feng Min were to take a side, he should actively help them keep an eye on the Wu Family’s movements!
He strongly suspected that Feng Min wanted to be a non-stick pot.
He wanted to watch all the excitement but didn’t want to take any responsibility!
He wanted to be a good person to both sides.
Forget it, let’s leave it at that for now!
If no problems were found after another two days of surveillance, then he would really have to go find Feng Min!
He wouldn’t let Feng Min continue to be a non-stick pot…
